MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The Seattle Business Chronicle offers this as a riddle:
 Speaking of riddles see what you make Of
 this one Those who contact the pubic as
 collectors and saesmen keep telling uS-Quite
 ungrammatically "the people haven't got
 money" March statements of banks of
 Washingtons leading cities show that depos-
 it's are actually greater than a year ago
 and virtually the same as at end Of ls30
 Can it be possible that the banks have
 lot of money that doesn't belong to any
 body?
 While it is quite true that the banks nave greater deposits now than they had year ago and that the money in the banks belongs to vhe depositors bank clearngs in Seattle and other cities are far less than they were in 1880. Also t might be mentioned that large proportion Of the money in the banks particularly the savings, are controlled generally by the banks That is, the money is loaned If at all, by banks and not by those who own it. However. the people are not doing the volume of business they were doing T year ago The industries and trade are at low ebb and are not creating the demand for money that has existed in the past. Under the circum- stances banks and people who have money naturally scrutinze with applications for loans Credits are always impaired when business condi- tions are not favorable for profits to those who would borrow.
 However it is worth lot to know that. differing from the situation in the 90s there is abundant money in the country. It signifies that when there Is an upward turn in business conditions there vii be ample funds to for the situation

 But this plan absolutely rejected at London by Premier Bennett, Canadian Conservative leader because it would compel Canadian manufacturers to compete with those of Great Britain in the Can adian home market He willing that Canada should purchase what she cannot make herself from the mother country, but he insisted that Canadian producers be protected against the products of that country.

Conservative Canada.
(NeW York Times )

That mystic equality of status" granted to the Dominions by the Imperial Conference of 1926 was impemented by its successor of 1929. Among the constitutional changes, involving the repeal of cer- tain acts of the Imperial Parliament, were the end of its power to reject Dominion law, of the power of the Imperial Privy Council to hear Dom inion appeals; and the extension of extraterrtoral force to certain Dominion statutes. It agreed that these and other recommendations should be considered by the Imperial Conference of 1930 The Liberal Government had fallen before that. MT. Bennett and the Conservatives were much less en- thusiastic than MT. Mackenzie King had been. MT. Bennett insisted that the opinion of the Provincial Governments should be sought Constitutions should not be hastily altered, and some of the proposed innovations might uneasness in certain parts of Canada; and even shadowy bonds" of connection with the mother country may be worth keeping.
 The Conference of Provincial Premiers now st- ting at Ottawa, has decided that Canada shall ask for the repeal of all the colonial laws validity act of 1865, the section which gives the Im- peria Parliament the right to disallow Dominion statute. This power is not merely dormant, but dead. Its purpose, presumably the reason for its continuance was the protection, longer neces- sary, of the French minority. The same is true of the Judicial Committee act of 1844 empowering the Crown in Council to provide for appeals from any court of justice in any British colony pos session. While the unfavorable decision of the Privy Council on the Labrador boundary three or four years ago produced temporarily considerable irritation in Quebec that Province and the French element elsewhere shrink generally from constitu- tional change. They content with their status as it s stable and secure They are not at all impressed by the talk about the inferior status
 under which Canadians supposed to suffer- so long as this right of appeal continues
 1 It is to be noted that the Prvy Council is loath i to grant appeals from the Supreme Court. Prob ably Canadians not much interested in these matters now. MT. Bennett has promised to call another Conference of the Provincial Premiers in two or three years. He is not going to follow the American example of amending in haste, re- penting at leisure The conference accepted, o1 course, those parts of the future act at Vest minister which assure to Canada complete power over her shipping at sea well in port The Maritime Provinces and British Columbia expect great advantages from this change

Box of Clams on Marmot Island May Clear Up
 Emsweiler Mystery

SEWARD-Reindeer and caribou in large numbers are reported to have died of starvation in the Chignik area. The animals, driven from the inland district by the deep snow. likewise found deep snow on the Westward coast and it is said many were seen in holes they had dug in an effort to reach moss buried under the snow. It was also reported that some of the deer had ropes about thier necks showing they were from private herds.
 What may develop into a clue as to the disappearance of Capt. Charles Emsweiler, Seward resi- dent, last fall, is reported in the finding of a box of clans on Mar mot Island by an Indian. Captain Emsweiler's boat was loaded with cased clans at the time he van- ished in Westward waters.

Nine boys and girls, totally or
partially excluded from the world OF
sound, recently sat in small. dark
ened room, and with the aid OF spe-
ciallv designed earphones connected
to talking picture equipment, en-
joyed one of the most exquisite SEN
sations OF their lives. :.
They heard and saw football
game, and listened to the funda-
mentals of the game as given by an
expert; they heard symphony or
chestra and, best of all. they heard
and saw other children, not robbed
of their hearing. doing their lessons
in school.
1t was an experiment held in con-
nection with an educational conven-

the experiment was told in the rapt
faces and sparkling eyes OF the nine
boys and girls from the Detroit Day
School for the Deaf.
Two of the group, John HenJi and

complete loss of their hearing. That
was two years ago. and neither had
heard any sound since. Their eyes
filled with tears of happiness as they

their sickness.
