December 2. 1929 THE FIGHT GOES ON The fight over the price of wheat still goes on. It is a great battle between England and Canada. As we have said before, England wants the cheapest possible wheat and Canada wants the highest possible price. England has bought all the Argentine wheat she possibly can and left Canada with her elevators bulging with the very best quality wheat in the world. In Prince Rupert there is over a million bushels stored and no sign of movement People do not realize that this is probably the greatest financial struggle of the age. The financial organizations of the country are behind the grain dealers and there is pretty much of a deadlock. In the meantime, a. poor grain seeason has been accentuated by the fact that much of the crop has not yet moved, that country and terminal elevators are full, trade is disorganized, ships tied up and men out of work, all because England buys foreign grain instead of dealing with the Empire where she .must pay a higher price. No one blames England, but the incident simply makes clear how great are the difficulties in holding together more or less artificially affiliatea nations geographically separated and whose interests are so divergent. Very little has been said about this big struggle because of its Em-pjre significance. Some statesmen have started to urge an Empire pref erence but it is doubtful if even a preferential di$y; $ould keep the business within the Empire at such a tim&asitMs. r 510W MB.-;.' UV -liri'T. ff..,.I H, FINANCIAL PRESSURE In a speech made the other day in London Rt. Hon. Ramsay Macdonald again came out in strong advocacy of a general treaty amongst the nations which would provide financial assistance to any state becoming the victim of aggression. The British Prime Minister took a strong stanafti this question during the twelfth assembly of the LeJiie of Nations and his return to the subject indicates mrdetermination to get some action in the matter. - The Prime Minister is strong for necessary changes in th&priginal convenant of the League which would bring it more in line with the provisions of the Kellogg Pact. He sees gaps in the covenant which would make possible recourse to war when there is no unanimity among the members of the council as to which of the disputing nations is the aggressor and when the nations themselves refuse to abide by the decisions of the council. There is no doubt that there is a good deal of "deadwood" in the original covenant and that quite a few amendments would bring it more in line with present day conditions. Most students of international affairs will agree with Mr. Macdonald that something more than a call for arbitration is necessary when national feeling is inflamed between contending nations. Only a show of force will bring some nations tfl a sense of reason and if this is not forthcoming there is every likelihood that war will ensue. If the League decides that a certain state has become or is likely to become the victim of aggression, it must be in a position to bring strong pressure to bear against the offending state. This is the gist of the treaty proposed by the British Prime Minister and it seems to be based on a practical understanding of the situation. It k understood that not only member states but such countries as the United States and Soviet Russia will be asked to co-operate in this treaty which, whether it is enforced bj the League or some other agency, must prove a potent force for international peace.

A short report on development of the company's various holdings by the consulting engineers, R. if. Stewart, H- L.

Tne series or nign-grade silver-lead-zlnc veins located last year has seen further development and the property gives promise of becoming a moderate producer of a high-grade silver-lead ore. "The Melvln property, yfhicn your company controls, has beeh-further developed this season and a small shoot of ore has been partially developed. This shoot contains values in naUve silver. Further development will have to be done to show the extent of this occurrence. "Further surface work has been done this season on the Glacier Girl Group but the results have not been of a positive nature. There does not seem to be any considerable extent of the better values located in last season's work. Further prospecting should be done next season. 'The high-grade silver-lead ores located this season on the Bitter Creek group have had some development work done on them. This development work has not shown uo any quantity of ore. Considerable prospecting has been done and some showings located which warrant a small amount of development which will be undertaken next year.

OF PEACE 1 .PROBLEMS' PniiceTGeorife Newspaper, jOuUincs Statiis of Negotiations With Brjtish CapMal (Prince George Citizen) With the approach of the meeting of the legislature, at which it is expected some action will be taken bv the government to com-1 plete the" P.G.E. into Prince George, newspapers In the oonfl-J dense of the administration are cJvlne some information as to the negotiations Premier Tolmie has had with what is known as the! Km plre Development Corporation, of London, and with the Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, of the British government, i Just what the status of the Empire Development Corporation Is remains a matter of uncertainty, but from the summary of the matters discussed by Premier Tol-' ale and Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas it must be accepted as an ambitious organization. This corporation ap-j Darently Is representative of the hope that British capital will be found for the ultimate purchase of ithe P.G.E., and for Its extension; Unto the Peace River district. The I limit of the Empire Development (Corporation's financial engagements in connection with the i purchase and extension of the P. .QF,. is fixed at approximately ! $175,000,000. This sum It Is estimated would cover the purchase price of the completed portion of :t.he P.O.E., provide for its exten-islon into the Peace River district, and also provide the necessary i equipment for the enlarged sys-I tent. Land Grant I As an Inducement for the purchase of the government railway it Is Intimated the British cor-iporation would expect a grant ol ; approximately 20.000.000 acres ol I land. This evidently contemDlates ithe transfer of the 16,500.000 acres I making up the lands set aside for IP.O.E. purposes, as well as the 3.-500,000 acres comrjrised In the Peace River block, which is to be reconveyed to the province by the federal government. It would be a happy denouement for the PJ3-E. problem If Premici Tolmie should be able to brine i about a sale of the railway foi even a consiaeraDie part of the cost, but so far it is not shown that Empire Development Corporation Is in very deep, certainly not beyond the point of discussing the acquisition of the railway and the lands and their settlement. According to the railway authorities of Canada there is no necessity for haste In the providing of the coast outlet for the Peace River district. This will admit of, plenty of time for the discussion . of .sale plans with the British corporation. It may be able to finance the un dertaking outlined in the discussions which have already taken place. The chief danger suggested is the excuse that the negottation-wlth the Empire Development Corporation may offer for Premier Tolmie deciding to do nothing with respect to the completion of the P.O.E. Into Prince George In the Interim". Urges Immediate Action It mav be five vpnro Hefnre Presidents Beatty and Thornton1 wiU agree that a coast outlet for the Peace River In a nratai railway development, but the central interior of British Columbia should not be required to wait any such leneth of time to e the P.OJ2. completed into Prince Gorge. It should be the policy of Premier Tolmie at the approaching session of the legislature to make a definite announcement that his government will proceed ai once wjin tne completion of th P.OJJ. Into Prince Oeorge. This need not disturb nnv nrcntlntlnnc 'or the sale bf the PJB&. to the unusn comoany. to the CPU. or to the O.N.R.
