Empire Shopping Week, which was observed throughout Canada last
month, appears to have made an especially strong appeal to the people of
Western Canada. This may be surprising to many people in the Eastern
provinces who are still laboring under the delusion that British and Empire
sentiment is not overly strong in the West, and that it has been weakened
by the influx of settlers of otter than British origin. But it is not surprising
to the average Westerner; on the contrary, to him it is but the natural out-
come of the thought and outlook of the West. i

It is not in the East, but in the West, that the strongest approval is giv-
en to the British Preference feature in the Canadian tariff, and it is in the
West, rather than the East, that public opinion favors further, albeit grad-
ual, extensions of that Preference with a view to a lowering of duties and
still greater encouragement of British trade in this Dominion. In fact, there |
is a yery strong sentiment in the West which would welcome the develop-|
ment of Preference to the point where all customs duties on British-made |
and British-produced goods were wiped out entirely.

Empire Shopping Week had for its object the focussing of people's at-
tention upon certain economic factors in the devlopment of Canada as a
component part of the British Commonwealth of Nations and of the Bmpire
as a whole. U ly, sentiment p it a mighty urge to all Cana-
dians to give a voluntary preference to Empire goods when making pur-}
chases, but, as was the case with prohibition of the liquor traffic, sentiment
is not in itself sufficient. It is the economic factor which, in these modern
days, provides the most powerful argument. And Western Canada is fro-
foundly interested in the economic factor.

World trade today fs, as it has always been and always.will be, a sys-
tem of barter,—the exchange by one country of those products and articles
of which it produces a surplus to another country which requires these
things, and to accept payment therefore in other goods of which such coun-
try produces a surplus but which the first mentioned country requires to
import. Money is merely a convenient means of effecting such exchange. In
other words, trade between nations operates on exactly the same principles as
trade between individyals.

Western Canada, and Canada as a whole, has a surplus of products to
sell. If those countries which require the things Canada has to sell are to be}
in a position to buy and pay for them, we must, in turn, buy from those |
countries the things they have to sell and which we cannot or do not pro-}
duce ourselves and must import. |

Last year Canada sold to the rest of the British Empire $200,000,000 |
more products than we purchased from them. On the other hand, Canada
bought oyer $200,000,000 more from the United States than we sold across
the line. Canada was enabled to pay the United States for the excess of
goods imported because of its excess of sales to other parts of the Empire.
While Canada did not lose by this procedure, the Empire did not gain; in}
fact, it sostained loss.

Now as our major exports must cross the seas to Great Britain, Iréland,
Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, it will be to Canada’s advantage, in|
@ purely business way, to buy as largely as possible in those countries and |
thus: provide return cargoes for the ships which carry Canada’s products
into the markets of the far-flung British Empire. The larger these return |
cargoes, the more profitably can the vessels be operated, the greater the
number of ships that will be put on these ocean lanes of transportation, the
keener the competition for the business, and, as an inevitable economic re-
sult, the lower the freight charges levied on both out-going and in-coming
shipments.

The more Canada buys from its sister nations in the British Goninon}
wealth, the more they can buy from us. The one re-acts on the other, and |
trade both ways can thus be built up and grow like the proverbial snawball. |
It has long been declared that “trade follows the’ flag,” but it is also true}

that the flag has followed trade, and to the traders of the past we largely |

owe the Empire of today.

It is equally true that the development of inter-Empire trade has a
direct end pronounced effect on immigration, and, inasmuch’ as Canada

pis particularly anxious to secure a larger proportion of British settlers, the

more we trade with Britain, the more widely
products and Canadian resources and possibilities hecome known among the
British people.

The slogan of Empire Shopping Week is indubitably true.—‘Empire
Buyers are Empire Builders.”” Let Canada build by buying.

Uncanny efficient inventions were
to be seen ot the Business Efficiency
Exhibition at Holland Park Hall,
London, Eng., recently. The devices
shown included: An electric machine
that opens envelopes at the rate of
$0,000 an hour, A machine that
types, adds, and multiplies at the|

franks, counts, postmarks and prints
a slogan on enyelopes at the rate of

A Region Of Wondrous Beauty

Plea Is Made For Establishment Of
Goyernment Park In Bella
Coola Valley, B.O.
If you like to get out in the wild
country and hunt wild animals, such
as grizzlies, with the camera, by all
means go to the Bella Coola Valley,
B.C. I have spent the Jast four sum-
mers there, and I am advocating the

who crossed Canada and who reach-
‘ed the sea at that point—this to be
connected up by means of a highway
to be known as Mackenzie Highway,

only way that anaemia can be over-
come is to enrich the blood, and it is
because of their wonderful blood-
enriching and blood-making proper-
ties that Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
have won such great success in the
treatment of this often most stub-
born disease.

‘Thousands of young girls who were
in an anaemic condition owe their
present good health to Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills. One of these, Miss Katie
McEachern, Port Hood, N.Si says:—
“J praise the day I began the use of
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I had not

was very pale, had severe headaches,
dizzy spells and occasional fainting
spells. The least exertion would
leave me tired and breathless. In
this condition I began taking Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. I continued
their use until I had taken six boxes,
by which time I was again enjoying
good health. I hope my experience
will lead other sufferers to give this
medicine a fair trial.”

If you are at all run-down, or weak,
you should begin at once to take Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills and you will
soon be well and strong. These pills
are sold by all medicine dealers or
will be sent by mail at 50 cents a box

FIRST CONTRACTS AWARDED

Canada’s Air Mail Service Will
Eventually Cover Dominion
The nucleus of a transcontincntal
aerial matl service is being estab-
lished by Canada with the awarding
of contracts for four important mail
services, Eventually letters will cross
the country from Halifax to Vancou-
yer In 36 hours by aeroplane, instead
of in five days by railway as at pres-
ent.
The contracts now entered into
provide for a service between Father
Point and Montreal and Ottawa, an-
other service of four trips per week
between Montreal and Toronto, and
all year-round service between Mon-
creal and Albany, N.Y., to connect
with the United States Transcontin-| it, and ay its free
ental Air Service. The total cost will
be $201,150, }

The Father Point to Montreal ser-
vice and the Montreal to Ottawa ser-
vice will be provided by the Cana-
dian Transcontinental Airways, Lim-
ited, of Quebec, the Father Point to
Montreal section costing $49,500, or
$1.25 per flying mile. The Montreal
to Ottawa service is to cost $8,250 for
the season. For the Montreal-Tor-
onto service the cost will be $40,500,
or $1.25 per flying mile, and the Mon-
treal to Albany service will cost $95,-

Americans Haye Faith A
In British Surgeons —
Millionaire Found Way To Get
Famous Doctor’s Services %
Americans have great faith in Bri-
tish surgeons, A few months ago an
American millionaire wanted one —
of the most famous surgeons to go to
New York to treat his small child,
and offered a very large fee.
The surgeon, however, was not pre-
pared to make the journey. He was
surprised when shortly afterwards an r
American doctor arrived with a com~
plete cinema film of all the child's
movements during a period of 24
hours.
To exhibit the film it was neces-
sary to take the local cinema hall at
a high fee. The British surgeon care-
fully examined the film and drew a
report, which the American doctor
took back to America,
Later, he arrived again with an-
other film showing the result of the
treatment in detail, a big cheque, and
a letter of thanks from the relieved
father.
