Burma left the Empire altogether on January 4, the day chosen for independence by her astrologers, with an assurance of British goodwill and the return of national treasures she desired. India has become two dominions. This very progress toward self-government fans the hopes of others and is one of the factors behind disturbances. - These troubles have failed to curb or hasten Britain's basic policy, enunciated by E. Creech-Jones, colonial secretary, and endorsed by other , parties of parliament: "The test of our policy should not be British advantage, but the happiness, prosperity and freedom of the colonial peoples themselves." Creech-Jones said Britain's primary object in iidministration is to train the native inhabitants "so that they may be able, in the shortest possible time, to govern themselves."

The only reason that the ban on oleomargarine continues is that farmers or the butter manufacturers want it. There is some question if even all the farmers and butter manufacturers are in favor of thqban since it is claimed that, all things being equal, oleomargarine could never compete with butter in public taste or preference. Fact of the matter is that the question of oleo-; margarine is nothing much more than a political football. , The claim that the dairying industry would be ruined in Canada, if it had to compete with mar Site of the pool had been carefully selected by W. H. Shortridge with an eye to good drainage and getting the most of available sunlight, Mr. Stuart said.

TITANIC RECALLED A FLAG DIPPED and a wreath was dropped out on the Atlantic one day not so long ago. The silent engines of the United States Coastguard cutter resumed and the vessel took up routine. The cutter had paused at the approximate place on the waste of waters where the liner Titanic sank thirty-six years ago on April 14, 1912. Up to that date, nothing in modern marine history had so profoundly shocked the world. What has occurred since (embracing the war period) need not be considered for that's an entirely different matter. But that such a supreme sorrow .should be respected and remembered" in this simple brief way is indeed fitting. No city in Western Canada, or for that matter, in the whole Dominion has more reason to remember April 14, 1912, than Prince Rupert. Citizens, on that fateful morning, could hardly credit such news.
