trade development
1t is interesting to observe that ex-
isting Canadian tariff rates are favor
able to trade development with Great
Britain. The average ad valorem rate
on dutiable imports from the United
Kingdom in 1881, apart from alcoholic
liquors and tobacco, was 1885 per cent,
compared with 24.73 per cent on dutia-
Bile imports from the United States.

The American tariff act of 1880 and
the tariff revisions of 1880 and 1881
were expressions of extreme economic
nationalism both of which might
easily be corrected by return to rates
prevalent between 1918 and 1920; even
return to the rates prior to 1880
would be a substantial improvement.
The imperial economic conference
with its commendable agenda for pro-
motion of trade within the empire,
among kindred peoples disposed to pre-
fer one another will be a great event.
1t is too early to forecast the result

British s'Family" Conference in Ottawa
Expected to Have Fsr.Reaching Effects

LONDON.-No British Empire "fam-
lily gathering" held since the war has
transcended in Importance the confer
ence which viii be staged in Ottawa in
July. which may have far-reaching
effect on the trade relations Of the
members of that family" with nations
outside the family" orbit. 1t will be
attended not only by representatives OF
Great Britain and the dominions, but
of the colonies as well.
In the British delegation will be e',ch
personages of the national governmen ent
as ]. H. Thomas, Sir Philip Cunl.He-
Lister and Walter Runeiman, with the
possible addition at a later stage of
Stanley Baldwin, Neville Chamberlain
and Lord Hailsham.
While die-hard protectionists in this
country are hopeful that the delibera-
tions will result in the formulation Of
cut-and- dried scheme of empire recip-
roeal trading, the auguries are that at
most 1t will be possible to adopt only
what is described as a framework OF
accepted principles" to benefit the trad
ing arrangements of Great Britain with
the other constituent elements Of the
empire This would leave much to be
Incorporated in the framework at a
later date. But until the pow-wow at
Ottawa is concluded. Great Britain,
which has now scrapped free trade,
will enter into no trading arrange
ments with foreign countries.
There are free traders who insist
that beneficial trading arrangements
with the dominions and the colonies
entail sacrifices by Great Britain. But
the protectionists, those who seek to

nomic unit, assert that the main OBJ
jeetive of the conference is to find a
satisfactory basis for reciprocal trade
within the empire orbit. They dislike
the word sacrifice" They talk of ''mu
tual tariff concessions"
For Great Britain itself The question
of preferences for dominion products
imposes consideration Of the problem OF
the effect which such favorable treat
ment would have on the consumers
breakfast table and on the revival Of
British agriculture.
Sir william Dawson, chairman Of the
British Empire Producers Organization,
declares that the old idea that Great

products of the dominions and they in

featured goods has given place to a
realization that several of the domin-
ions have developed their secondary in
dustries under protection, which they
had every right to do. 1t might, there
fore, be asked, he says, where the op-
portunity for mutual trading arises
The position of the colonial part of
the empire at the conference is one
that looms large in the eyes Of Great
Britain, for the colonies are its special
| charge. 1t is believed that in offering
concessions to the dominions Great
Britain will consider colonial interests
pari passu with those of home pro-
ducers. 1t is the hope that the domin-

Value OF Foreign Loan Board
Under Control of u. S. Is Disputed

The truth is that the State Depart
ment-controlled loan board would
place the Latin American governments
at the mercy of the Washington au-
thorities. If this is not intervention,
1t comes dangerously near to being 1t.
If the solution advised by Senator
johnson is going to ALLEVIATE the good
will of the Latin Americans and dupll-
cate the unfortunate experiences CT
past years, all the benefits which the
American investors may derive from it
would be passed up.
The Way Out.
The more so at a time when the
State Department is precisely endeav-
orin to obliterate the memory of those
past experiences, and to create in the
minds Of Latin Americans different
idea Of the friendship, diSinterestedness
and respect of the United States to-
ward them.
On the other hand, the uselessness
of a foreign loan board controlled by
the bankers themselves, instead OF by
the Government, is too obvious to need
explanation,
The only way left, then, is the third
one-the establishment OF private inde-
pendent associations with the same
views advanced by Senator johnson,
but without the Government control
These associations, made up OF prom
inent economic experts, college profess
sors and leading citizens, and, above
all, independent of any political or
financial control. would engage in the
dissemination of information regarding
economic and political conditions in
foreign countries where American capi-
tai is about to be loaned or has been
loaned.
This alone, even if direct and abso-
lutte control of loans is not possible,
would safeguard the interests OF Amer
lean investors and avoid the repetition
in the future of financial and political
entanglements born of reckless bor-
rowing.

Even II the question of recognition
did not come up, If that government
for any other political reason did not
have the sympathy of the State Depart
ment, could not this lack of under
standing between the two influence
the decision of the state Department
controlled" foreign loan board?
To Be Expected.
Would not the refusal of such loan,
upon advice of the State Department,
be the thing to be expected? In that
case, would not the Wall Street bankers
be carrying out the political designs
OF the White House, whatever its policy
toward the particular Latin country
may be at the time?
That eKemplifes the influence of
politics on finances. Now let us see
the opposite influenee-that of finance
on politics.
Let US suppose that certain finan-
cial obligation contracted by Latin
American government with the approv-
al of the board controlled by the State
Department were not properly met.
That is, let US suppose that Latin
American loan which the State De-
partment had officially Endorsed was
defaulted.
The United States Government,
which had guaranteed the loan to the
American investors would have to take
the necessary steps" to insure its COL
lection. Such steps, we all know. The
United States Marines would be con-
verted into debt collectors for the
American bankers.
This prospect alone would suffice to

the fine spicy flavor of rich toma- toes.
 My friend. Judge Gordon, took me through the Quaker Maid Ketchup factory at Brockport, New York, where last year 13,606,500 bottles of Quaker Maid Ketchup were put up for A. and P. stores. This amount of ketchup seems as- tonishing when you realize that 1t takes 27,766,0O0 pounds of toma- toes or 15,0O0 acres of tomato plants to make it.
 There are some excellent ways of using ketchup. Death Valley Scotty knew what. In addition to his way, here are some l recom- mend:
 BEEF BALLS A LA RECTOR
 leg pounds chopped beef
 1 small onion
 Salt, pepper, flour
 cup boiling water
 2 tablespoons fat
 cup tomato ketchup
 1-2 teaspoon Worcestershire
 sauce
 Mix the chopped beef with the onion which has been minced. and season with salt and pepper. Make into small balls, and roll in flour. Heat the fat in a frying pan and brown the meat ball in 1t. Add the water and ketchup, and Worcester shire sauce, and simmer for 20 min utes. Serve with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles. Hot Cheese Canapes
 Mix grated American cheese with enough ketchup to make a paste. Add a few drops of tabasco sauce. Cut bread in rounds and toast on one side. Spread the untoasted side with the cheese mixture. In the center of each canape press small square of bacon brown under a broiler flame or in a hot oven.

New York with a bagful of twenty dollar gold pieces supposed tO have been mined in his private Fl De- rado, in Death Valley. When first seated at his table, Scotty would tear a fifty-dollar bill in half. He would give the waiter the western half of the bill and retain the east ern half, saying, "Now if the serv- ice Is all right. I will give you the other half" Needless to state, the service was always neat if not gaudy. After one of these ham and egg banquets l have seen Scotty line up the walters and chefs in Rector's in an "ensemble" resembl- ing a minstrel show. He would then give each one twenty-dollar gold piece, a total of around $500 or $900.
 Death Valley Scotty was indeed an interesting character. When he came into Rector's he disdained all fancy dishes. He banged his fist on the table and shouted for all the world to hear, "Give me twenty dollars worth of ham and eggs. The waiter would be kept busy bringing him order after order of ham and eggs, and bottle after bot tie of good old tomato ketchup, which Scotty poured on the eggs as freely as he gave out tips.
 I am sure that Scotty felt that the addition of ketchup made "An Everyday Dish Fit For an Epicure. Personally, like ketchup on food And I can even eat 1t alone. Put a little on a saucer and taste 1t with out anything else. You will notice

HOW TO PREPARE SWISS
 CHARD.
By SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer


 The Swiss chard, or spinach beet" as 1t is often called. is one of the most delicious, succulent summer vegetables on the market. There are several varieties, some with dark green curly leaves and others with broad, light-coiored leaves. Each variety has thick white mid-rib that is cooked and served like asparagus. The leafy part is used like spinach or greens"
 The composition of chard rivals that of the much lauded spinach. It's especially rich in iron. This makes 1t 0 perfect vegetable to serve during hot weather when meat is used sparingly. The vita min content is good and chard Is cheap source of vitamins. It has the peculiar virtue of supplement- ing the protein dificiences of other vegetables and cereal foods and contains a certain substance which enables the body to make use of all the mineral content available.
 The same rules of cooking hold good for Swiss chard that are ap- piled to other delicate vegetables. Cook in as little water as possible and for short period of time.
 The seasoning is important, be- cause chard will be criticized as fiat" If not popped up with dash of lemon juice.
 The person who is eating to re- duce will find chard q good friend because of its remarkable palata- bility whe nit's dressed simply with salt and lemon juice. The person who Is eating to gain can add many calories to his diet by dress ing his serving with butter or Hol- landaise sauce. The vegetable Is at its best served in smooth Hol- landaise sauce. , An attractive way to serve chard is to cut the thick center part of the leaves in uniform lengths and tie in small bundles. Cook in boiling water, adding salt after the 1 first ten minutes of cooking. Cook the thin part of the leaves just as you would spinach-in the water that clings to the leaves. Chor | the leaves finely and arrange them in a border on 8 deep serving plat ter, Garnish with hard cooked egg and fill the center with the thick ribs in Hollandaise sauce This is an exceedingly nourishinG and economical main dish for a summer meal.
 The tender, small leaves of chard can be used without cook ing in salads. The taste Is rather like romaine in case you have never used 1t this way.
