That is why it becomes necessary to now and then enlighten the people of the country as to the true inwardness of the situation. In England. there are a good many people, especially in the mining and industrial districts, who still think Russia is the land of hope and glory. They are never tired of extolling the Soviet At one of the mines in Kent an employer overheard two employees telling the others of the wonderful conditions obtaining in that country, so he offered to send them as ambassadors to Russia to find out if the i ference to them. That is a statement made by Pat ' Barns of Calgary, who arrived from the prairie this morning and is a guest at the Hotel Vancouver, says the Vancouver Sun of Friday last. Mr. Bums does not agree with the view of E. W. Beatty, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, that a coast railroad should follow extensive settlement of the Peace River district. "The time to start construction of such a railroad is now," he said. 'The Peace River country is already settled to a considerable degree, and by the time a railroad can be built into the district the population will be such as to assure profitable operation." Mr. Burns visited the Peace River country with Vancouver Board of Trade and Canadian Chamber of Commerce party last month, and, being one of Canada's most progressive and successful ranchers, his opinion is based on trained observation. "The Peace River Is a country which must be seen to be properly appreciated," Mr. Burns said. "Its possibilities are tremendous, and Incidentally, the section lying in British Columbia seems to be the better for farming and cattle raising. Residents told me that the B. C. portion enjoyed a climate considerably warmer than that in the same latitude in northern Alberta.

The men were accompanied by R. Southam, a schoolmaster, who was shocked at the poverty, filth, low wages, food scarcity, bad housing and general inefficiency. He saw in Moscow, he told an audience of miners, "such terrible sights of poverty as are almost indescribable:" Streets were lined with thousands of beggars, who came into restaurants to gather scraps, and even to pick bones left on plates Everyone was rationed for bread and sugar. Even in the officers' mess in which he dined as a.guejst tJie food was so bad that both he and one of his companions were ill for some days. AMERICANS ARE INSULAR British people are interested in world news. Americans are interested in American news. That is the conclusion arrived at by a man who has made a critical study of. the newspapers of each country. Twice as much space, is allotted to local news in the United States as Is allotted in Great Britain, but the press of the latter country publishes nearly four times as much foreign news. The percentages are: Local news, British, 8; American, 17.2; foreign news, Britiah, 11; American, 3. In society news the proportion is the same for each country as in local news, of which, in fact, it is virtually a department. The percentage for the United States is 2.2. In space devoted to sports there is a nearer approach to parity, the American papers giving 16 per cent and the British M per cent to this department. Finance, on the other hand, occupies 18 per cent in British newspapers and only 14 per cent in American newspapers.

The Democrats have sus-ceeded In the sc-oate in withdrawing the president's power to change the tariff, but the House of Representatives may restore It. In the Interval, the flexible tariff Is on trial. : Canada Is distinctly Interested in the discussions. We have had the flexible tariff suggested for this country. And we have felt the sharp eifect of a number of American tariff increases made under the flexible tariff. Under the flexible tariff provisions the president has authority. after a study has been made by the tarlli commission or tne durerences in cost of production at home and abroad of any commodity, to promulgate an increase or reduction In the tariff not exceeding 50 of the rates fixed by Congress.
