MANY FAMILIES
 FORCED TO UPPER
 FLOORS BY FLOOD
Little Village on Devils Island, Nova Scotia Is Battered By the Sea That Races Through Streets

Truro, N. S., Mar 6.-(UP)- Twenty families have been huddled for more than a night and day in upper stories of their homes on Devils Island, while roaring waves, sweeping in from the sea through the hamlet's streets, seethed below them. Word of the plight of the islanders came in telephone mes sages here during the night. The messages told of a 90-mile gale which sent the seas racing through the village, pounding structures and weakening their foundations. Blind- ing snow and sleet added to the dis comfort of the marooned families.
 The growing wind and smashing waves ripped to pieces breakwaters and wharves. Only the lighthouse seemed able to withstand their on- sights. Many tales of bravery among the fishermen were current here to- day. One concerned Ben Henne- berry, lighthouse keeper, who rescued by neighbors after he was washed out to sea by a giant wave while attempting to save his little boat.

 Contrasted with 82 strikes a month in 1929, 108 a month in 1925, and BOP a month in 1919, the record for last year is extremely gratifying. In the number of men involved the record is even more impressive. less than one-twentieth a many having been on strike in 1880 as there were in 1919.
 All this is evidence of the better understanding between employers and employees thai has been brought about in re- cent years. As a recent survey points out:

Of course, we all remember brilliant member of the British Asso- citation who declared in all ser iousness that in a certain num- Der of years there wouldn't be enough wheat grown to feed the population of the world. And then-what? We'll, what? That certain number of years brought so much wheat that today it can't be sold. There's too much.

And this question leads to others. Can it be done? Can silver be stabilized in price and value? The proponents of Silver point to Gold. The price of Gold is stabilized by international agreement, al though even Gold fluctuates in price within very morrow limits. They claim that what is possible in the case of Gold is equally possible in the matter of Silver. Admitting this possibility, the next ques- tion that arises is, would it be good business to stabilize the price of Silver in relation to Gold? Would it work? And

here is where the men who buy and sell money, who hand

 who think things out-on

 objection. They can, visualize
 the secondary effects Of any

 effects are not so apparent, al-
 -hough in aggregate they cost the community more than the original import duties.
 The primary effects of the stabilization of Silver at say soc an ounce, with soc worth in every half dollar coin, would be an immediate in- crease in the activities of the mines. More miners would be employed. They would have money to spend. Equipment and supplies would sell faster than they do today. More people would have money to spend in these trades. Rail- roads would immediately car ry more freight. This Province would benefit. The silver-using
 ountries,, knowing their Sil- Ter had an international value, would immediately be enabled 70 purchase goods from the gold-standard manufacturing countries, paying for these i'm ports in silver should their ex- ports goods not be sufficient. ! Trade would pick up all over |! immediately. Many more people would have more mon- ey to spend. But here the 0anker-economists throws in 1is monkey wrench.
