Considerable controversy is going on in purist circles of Eng land as to which form is correct, Scots, Scotch, or Scottish. Downing Street took the field a few years ago with the ruling that "The Scotch Education Office is in future to be styled the Scottish Education Office." But, alas the days of ex-cathedra governments have gone forever, so instead of settling the debate it has only caused it to rage more fiercely. It does not seem much help to refer to the north of the Tweed writers. Truly Burns' cry rings down the years rousing the blood like the call of the pipes "Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled?"; and Sir James Barrie has his character in "What Every Woman Knows-" point out "Have you forgotten the grandest attribute of a Scotsman, Margaret, that he'll do nothing which might damage his career?" On the other hand Sir Walter Scott, turning reporter for George SMOMOGB.AFMI AMD KICOSOI J. LORNE MacLAREN, Ltd.

And granted that Dr. Johnson's reverence for words was sufficiently strong to overcome his antipathies he also may be citedas an authority on this side, for it was he who threw out the oft recalled barrage "The noblest prospect that a Scotchman ever sees is the high road that leads him to England." Be it known that the question is only troubling the literary 'pundits of England. So far as can be learned the dwellers in Scotland are cannily retaining all three terms: DOMINION IS EMPIRE'S GRANARY. Although the latest official statistics foreshadow a Canadian grain crop somewhat below the record of last year, the Dominion has not lost Its claim to the proud title of the Granary of the Empire, ay the Financial Times of London. It still produces abundantly, and is still by far the largest contributor, from Imperial sources, to the Motherland' supplies. The expected decrease In" producllon" Is chiefly in minor cereals, while the falling off in the yield of wheat th grain that really counts, has been relatively trivial. Indeed, even now the total crop, despite unfavorable climatic conditions in the harvesting season, is estimated at nearly 406,000.000 bushels, or roughly only about 1 per cent less than in 1925. In the production of oats, barley and rye the decline has been on a heavier scale, but the virtual maintenance of the wheat crop will compensate to a larg extent for disappointments in other directions. Canada is predominantly an agricultural country, and the prosperity, not only on the industrial areas of the East, but of the Dominion as a whole.1 depends on the wheat harvests of the Prairie Provinces. Consequently the comparatively good yield now practically assured means a continuance of those flourishing times so clearly reflected in trade statistics and railway traffics. The present year's crop is not a record, and the reduction of almost a bushel per acre is perhaps disappointing. Nevertheless, the general result can hardly be regarded as other than most satisfactory. Prices may not be so favorable to farmers as they were last year, but after the bumper harvest of 1925 the grain growers of thei Western Provinces can afford to face some reduction in their revenue returns. Last year they were able to clear off their' indebtedness to the banks and to start afresh, not only with a clean slate, but a substantial surplus in hand.. Their comparatively flourishing con-i dition has been largely responsible for the revival of industrial activity In the East, the demand for manufactured goods of all classes! having been powerfully stimulated by the comparative affluence of Western consumers. The railways have benefitted not only by an I increasing volume of traffic, but by those lessons of economical! operation learned in the stern school of adversity. There may be clouds on the horizon in the shape of demands for higher wages, which spells of prosperity invariably provoke, but the Canadian railway worker may be depended upon not to indulge in any foolish or futile struggle detrimental to his own interests. Nothing has happened to dispel the widely-held impression that the Dominion is on the threshold of a new era of prosperity. In such circumstances it may reasonably be hoped that the Canadian authorities will, be prepared to deal generously with British investors still smarting under very real grievances. If they do that the way will be clear to the renewed participation of the British capitalist in Canadian enterprise. extent la expansion of unless the present rate of consumption ditctlon was IMSDOOOO. tn 1U IZS4.- same yamr TITE DAILV NEWS ihumditv Bank of Montreal Annual; : Underlying Conditions Sound Trend of Business Upward Sir Sir Vincent Meredith, President, in Comprehensive Survey, (Jives Many Reasons For Confidence Regard ins Outlook In Canadn Reviews Great Expansion in Power Development and Pulp and Paper Industry.
