Monday, December 9, 1929 SEEING OURSELVES When a person goes away from home he notices the striking differences in the places he visit, and if he stays away some time on his return he see things at home which ; never struck him before. The editor of "Overseas " 'a little monthly journal pub-; lished in England, went away for a tour through Europe ; and on his return he looked around him and here is-what he wrote: "Like most returned wanderers, I suppose, my first impressions when back on British soil were conflicting. ; One of them, of course, was the civility of British railway , officials, the excellence of British roads; nowhere in Europe are there roads anything like ours; the extent of the motor traffic and the picturesqueness of the villages. "Other impressions were not so favorable. I shall never forget the shock which the sordidness and squalor of South London made on me as I motored up through New Cross and along the Old Kent Road. The ugliness of the buildings, the unattractive shops, the glaring posters, the general atmosphere of a depressed humanity. Nowhere abroad have I seen such sadgnt&jjfiless perhaps in the Ghettos of Warsaw. I eeloac' Ruaflbecause I have not been there since the jvaK he hliglpoF industrialism has seared deep scars tfntjfe ffcesf ourjjeautiful England. Will nothing wake us up out orfhlf complacency and stir us into action? Why Should Cities Bq Ugly -"There is no need why great seaports and great industrial centres should be abominations to the eye and it is not only in England here edtLcitjeare too often blots on the landscape; ittanadaTArjigiaand South Africa man has too often done fiu&Jwp counteract the beauties clean, orderly, w'eJl-regulatetracwvely laid out with- out slums, wny m Heaven s name cannot we do the same Thank goodness the public conscience is stirring a little, but I am afraid it will have to do a lot of stirring before it overcomes our lethargy. This is not a party question ; all parties have a joint responsibility, and until the question of slums and the rebuilding of many dreary miles in our big cities is taken out of the arena of party politics, there can be little headway. Eating Out df Doors 'The next thing that struck me was the ordinary Englishman's dislike ot fresh air. I know this statement will startle some of you, but it is true nevertheless. For three months I hardly had a meal indoors. I returned to England in the first days of September, to find England enjoying the same lovely weather which I had meteveijywhere on the Continent. . No matter how lovely the weather, as a nation we go and shut ourselves indoors to eat. ' I know some people say the British climate is at fault. ,This is emphatically not so. Despite occasional breaks and lapses, the British climate all round can hold its own with any. I always think it comes in for an undue measure of blame. Then the next thing that struck me was the ridiculous manner in which most Englishmen envelop themselves in quite an unnecessary amount of clothes. In much of Continental Europe the working men merely wear a light vest or are stripped to the waist, and what lovely brown bodies you see everywhere, worthy of the ancient Greeks."

PROPOSAL TO MODIFY U.S. QUOTA WASHINGTON. Dec. 9 A firm stand for a policy of selective immigration was advocated by the secretary and he pointed out that whereas the annual quotas of countries in Europe Is about 150,000 immigrants a year, upward of 2,000,000 persons had taken steps toward securing visas and the United States was unable to select the aliens considered beat qualified. Quotas would not be increased under Mr bavls' plan but he would give a preference to immigrants who werfe needed here. He cited that a man whose services might be sorely needed as the key man In some new industrial development which would afford employment to hundreds or perhaps thousands of men must await his turn while other Immigrants were admitted to seek employment in some industry in which there was already a surplus of workers. The secretary would permit Industries or other interests in this country needing the professional services or some particular individual to present their case to the department would authorize a preference if it was Justified. Placing countries in the western hemisphere on a modified Quota basis leas stringent than that im posed upon European and other nations also was recommended in the report.

The secretary reported completion of modernization work on the battleships Oklahoma and Nevada last summer and the beginning of modernization on the Pennsylvania and Arizona. All cruisers now under construction and the modernized battleships aie being provided with the latest type oi lire control ana battery for defence against airplanes. Similar installations are being made on all other ships as fast as possible. Discussing the operations of the fleet the secretary gave high praise to the performance of the aircraft carriers Lexington and Saratoga, which, he said, "proved themselves to be effective, efficient and vital units of the Heet." "As usual, the lack of cruisers." he said, "was severely felt in all tactical and strategical exercises." Business With The Orient in Wheat Export Oriental business Is stressed in the report of Oeorpe Mctvor, general sales manaeer ot the Cana dian Wheat Poof to the members. It says In part: One of the bright features of our business durlne the nist sen. son has been the large business which we have been able to do wun untna and japan; we exported approximately 7 million bushels of wheat to China and over li million bushels to Japan, while it may be difficult during the present season to continue a large business to these markets on account of the higher price and the higher Kraaes oi wneat, i am conrident that some of these Idif f IctilttM mv be overcome and that we will do our fair' share ot the. business to .hese markets. The Canadian pool's have established themselves through their connections in both japan and China and we expect to Keep ciose oDservauon on the conditions In Ihese countries with the view to expanding our business to the fullest possible extent. "The question of developing fur- iner tnese marxets and tne possibility of having our own representative In the Orient has bron given some consideration by your Board of Directors but owing to me ngnt crop it was relt advisable to give this matter a temporary hoist. I am of the opinion, however, that our attention should be continued in this direction and confident that the results will more than take care of any additional expense. I am confident runner that during the present marketing season your directors will have further consideration to tne question or this development. unaouDtedly the relatively low prices of wheat this past season have stimulated wheat consumD- tlon both as human and animal food the world over and the Or-ient is no exception In this regard and with normal crops in Canada I am ot the opinion that we will see a steady growth in Our trade with the Orient With this market operating on a more permanent oasis. "One 1ntfrrt!nir feature with regard to the Oriental development is that several of our cargoes which we had destined to Japan were diverted in transit to Vladl- vostock on the Coast of Siberia is wanted In This is particularly Interesting and gives an idea oi tne cuiiicultles which Russia will have to sur rnount in order to again become a "Why do they want any more factbr In the wheat' markets of the crooKS in unicago" world."
