THE CALGARY DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JULY 14, 1930 THE CALGARY HERALD THE THIRD COLUMN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Educational Exchange NEW YORK TIMES DIAMONDS FOR half cehtury, Birks have been renowned for fine diamonds. Today, they are one of the largest diamond merchants in America. Powerful purchasing facilities, plus a preferential tariff, allow them to offer diamonds of the finest quality at unusually moderate prices. Post However, it is only fair to state that since the criticism was penned Mr. Kint has seen a great light His long period of non-provocation to Unclo Sam having resulted in nothing more comforting than the creation of the highest tariff wall in the history of the Unitea States, ue prime minister and his minister of finance developed a fervent interest in British and Empire trade, which he absolutely Ignored in London in 1926 Now with a new convert's Intenso enthusiasm he is preaching the cause up and down the Dominion It is typical of the opportunist nature of Mr.

King's whole record, and it will lead hundreds of thousands of thinking Canadians to vote to send M-. Bennett as Canadian representative at the next Imperial Conference. He has the virtu of consistency on this question of Empire trade and a life-long fame as a staunch supporter of closer Empire ties THE PRINCE OF WALES, in his admirable address in behalf of the National Union of Student, lent his mfiuunc to a movement that is already well advanced In Aueriea, chiefly through the generous initiative of Mr. John P. Rockefeller, Jr.

No one could have spoken more helpfully to Britain than the Prince; for "Prim es- are there the glass, ths school, the book. Where subjects' eyes do learn, dj read, do look." And no English voice is heard morn eagerly or appreciatively by the vouth of Amuica. The purpose uf the organization of British students is fust of all to nrovlde a centre to which students from other part of the world may conitt and find helpful and hospitable guidance through the ritual of admission among the people-who are apt to hide the light of kindness under a bushel of reserve." The welcome and entertainment extended are to be more thaa suggesJorts offered by sightseeing agencies. They are -to be the expression of an effort to maka the visit a social expe-ience" This is such an activity as has its centre In Inter-natio-al House ou Riverside Drive, New York. Various other American organizations, notably among them the Institute of International Education, help foreign students to become acquainted with the aoclai, political and industrial life of as well as 'with the particular subjects of their study.

Tha second function of the National Union is io sssist British students who wish to make special researches in other countries. Several foundations in th I'nited States are doin? this for American students, but Etigland has not as yet undertaken this sort of subvention of scholarly adventure abroad on a cons aerabls scalt. This Is not because she looks with condescension upon the intellectual institutions and cultural or material achievements of other peoples. The reasons are in part But beyond this the British are not habituated by private giving on such a vast for educational purposes. The Prince pays a tribute to Mr.

Rockefeller in wishing for his "British prototype" Whh the summer season there sprinpte up within the greater city of New York such unions, little university cities In which mature and women from every State, chiefly teachers, and from many forelga lan.la are gatheied. as once thy came from all the nations of Europe to ihe medieval) universities At this Mme opportunities are open to thousands for the enlargement of their professional or cultural fields and for coming intoJhe intellectual association with other peoples, even as the Prince of Wales seeks them for hjs own people-.

ONE FOR ALL.

Farmers Urged to Eradicate. Weeds Editor, the Herald: This is an appeal to the farmers. of The weed question la the most momentous question today. Will you farmers help yourselves to remain owners of your farms? Will you co-operate and help keep down your weeds? Will you look after your own roads that go round your farm? The government is being asked to repeal the law making municipalities responsible for weeds on the road. It la too big a burden upon the ratepayer.

It will double your taxes. If you cannot pay your present taxes, and many cannot, how can you pay double the amount of taxes? It means thousands of men being employed to go over the tame road over and over again. It means pulling and cutting. Cutting most weeda doe not eradicate them. How can these- men be watched? Many lay down on the Job, many men think it is all right, if it is municipal money.

Without your cooperation, Mr. Farmer you may lose your beloved farm. Some big acreage farmers, many tenant farmers, most all lazy farmers and the don't care farmers, will drive you from your land. rteast up on the districts that have been abandoned on account of weeds. Ask your government sdoui mem ana take heed.

Can you picture your farm growing a thorn ami weeds ior ona ear of grain? Tt la not many years in the future, laugh all you wH -i. LmDton cc ncll is mu-g nn appeal to taxpayers In this Municipality to help the weed Inspector to cut the enormous expenditure necessary to control these peats. Each councillor has piomised to look after the weeds a the roads round their farms. Will vou. Mr.

Farmer. do your bit? It is impossible to nire-io nave done. Don have the mill rate doubled and taxes piled up on your homestead. Don't take heed of the other fellow, get out and pull the weeds and burn them. Don't buck the weed inspector, he is your friend.

130 AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS ALGARY'S 1930 Exhibition mS and Stampede has passed into history and leaves pleasing mem ories of a week of education and entertainment. While perhaps the Stamped department Is the more spectacular, It Is not the more valu- bl part of the Exhibition. The displays of the products of Alberta ere the real backbone of the Fair. They depict in a striking; fashion the progres of a young province and they demonstrate most conclu sively the high quality of grains and livestock that are the basia of our economic structure. Alonir with these material things are shown examples of the higher art and in thla respect the people of Alberta are making definite pro-gre.

Altogether th Exhibition is a credit to Alberta, to Calgary and to th management, and the latter is to be congratulated on the paid attendance of 302.000, which, in view of general conditions, is a fine tribute to the high standard that hat been reached. Each year see a "new standard set for Calgary! Exhibition and Stampede snl hardly 1 Fair Week ended than preparations are started or the corresponding week a year bene. Both provlnc and city are forlunat in that a group of men take such a keen and Intelligent Interest that perslsUnt high quality is assured. MR. KING'S RECORD AT CONFERENCES PREMIER KING on aeveial occasions during the campaign has challenged Mr.

Bennett to name the representativee he would select to gu with him to the Imperial Con-fexeiice in the event of a Conservative triumph. He knows full well that Mr. Bennett cannot make a selection until after the formation of cabinet. However, the Hat of Conservative candidates contain the name of aevral men who would make excellent representative. Without detracting In any way from the metita of Messrs.

La point. Malcolm and Dunning, It 1 safe to predict that men of equal caller are available in the opposite party. Mr. King seems to acquiring the Impression that the Dominion cannot function properly unleea he la the head of the federal government. It 1 the lli-advlsed confidence which always goes before a fall." It 1 difficult to see wherein Mr.

Bennett would not head Canadian contingent to London quite as capably a Mr. King. In fact a proof one ma quote from a publication friendly to the King ad-minlstjation the Financial Post, of Toronto. It Is cot many weeks tine the Post recalled that at the 1923 Imperial Conference Premier King was so anti-imperialistic that "Pr-rnlar Bruce, of Australia, lost his temper and ak-d him if he whfced to take Canada out of th British Empire." From the sam authority on learn that Mr. King was going to sidestep the conference, but before the end of the election campaign of that year "he had1 learned that Canadians were! strongly imperielrtic in sentimeeV Even then, the Post said, he failed to grasp the practical fact that the holding together and the building up ef the Enipltt with it possible customer was worth while and was th greatest hope for the futur prosperity of Can-ads.

Th Post adds that In 132C In London. "Mr. Kins; wasted valuable time In academic debates fighting with his back to the wall to bring home a new Magna Chart," as his press propwaadirta cabled at the time.

RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason Husbandry Th farmer lot is full of woe, we hear him sadly weepif.g; in spring he Journe forth to sow, and cannot bank on reaping. The elements are in cahoots to make him ferl disgusted: some blight will kill his orchard fruits, hi wheat will all be rusted.

And if perchance ne has a crop, in spite of all his yeiung, me market price Is sure to drop on everything he- selling. We hear much of the farmer's grief snd great men plan like thundei on how to biing him eome relief and tear his bonds asunder. The way he gets it In the neck is some thing quite indecent, and we art led to think, by heck, that all this wo is recent. But there was never yet a time when hi sad lot seemed charming, and farming always seemed a crime to those who do the farming. I farmed some forty jears ago.

i uiiM trie virgin prairie; and every day was soaked in woe. and life eeemed far from merry. The things the farmer had for sale in those days long departed, biought uch a sickly show of kale that he was broken hearted. Twelve cents a bushel was the price of com in town delivered; which made his bosom fel like ice, hi weay heartstrings quivered Eight cents a dozen for eggs, which made him sigh and hei'er; had to fill five pajls or if fte'd take In a dollar. If he would sell a grod fat hen.

he only got a quarter; what wonder if the farmer then was quit a chronic snorter? And all the standard pest were there, to ki'l off all thinss growing, and with on hand I tor my hair, with t'other did my sowing. The farmer and the farmer frau have gnefs too large to cention. but no on ran convince nie now thai they're a late invcnUoB. Letters must bs brief.

Women Thanked for HelpingUnemployed Hditor, the Herald: I would like to thank the Amal- gamated Women's Society headed Mrs. Weller for what they have done for the men who were out of work last winter, for if we waited for the federal government to do something, we would have starved. The present government did not care a rap whether we starved or not. J.

KNIGHT. Calgary, Alberta. Noted Geologist Subject of Inquiry Editor, ths Herald: I I notice in your issue of July 7 some comments by E. H. Cunningham Craig with reference to a prognostication of "Alberta having a future output of 1,000,000 tons of oil per year.

It would be of great interest to me to know how many wells Mr. Cunningham Craig has located since 1914. and the amount of ol! they sre contributing to the present output. W. O.

BRUBAKEB. 346 Twentieth avenue west, Calgary. Stampede Parade Not as Advertised Editor, the Herald: Allow me to draw the attention of the Stampede parade committee to the fact that the parade on Monday was not carried out as per plan, advertised in the Herald on Saturday. The plan read that the parade would disperse from Seventh avenue north on Sixth street west. Instead, it dispersed one or two blocks east of that point, with the result that the people gathered between Fifth and Sixth streets west only got a glimpse of the tail end half of the parade, to the big disappointment of the kiddies, who had gathered there with thpir parents, to see the Mounted Police, Indians, etc.

This should not have been allowed. ONE DISAPPOINTED. Further Light on Arithmetic Query Editor, the Herald: Just another letter in connection with our popular arithmetic query. Let me advise Wiyliam Good to do all hi figuring, in future, in centimes, drachmas, rones, sen and yen, but not to monkey around with pounds and dollar. Let give him credit inr nis gallant attempt to 'solve our problem and "ease our minds but what a pitiful mess he made of it! j-ie savs tnat me mercnant nas paid 265 10s plus $5 40.

His 10 per cent payment will therefore be $129.73." Why, oh why, does he say a thing like that? Figure it out again, Mr. Good. Then he tells us that 265 10s Is equal to $1,285.33, at the rate of $4.86. I can't make it anything but $1.290.33 but then, I'm an English, man, too! Check that up and let's have another laugh about it! You really shouldn't say things like that Mr. Good there may be others who left England to come to Canada at the age of twelve, and some of them might believe it! In working out the problem, I figure the ad valorem duty on the invoice rtrire nnlv.

and not. a Vfr Good does, on (he invoice price of 265 10 plus the specific duty of $5.40.. Surely, we don't have to pay an ad valorem duty on the amount of the specific duty! may be wrong on this point, but it seems unreasonable to suppose that we pay outy on fluty. On this basis, I submit as my answer the figures $1,433.76 am I right, Mr. Good? JOHN H.

ADAMS. Calgary, Alberta. Piping of Gas is Government Task- Editor, the Herald: I would like to voice my opinion on the relief of the unemployed. It is a serious problem at present. There appeared an article; in your paper on July 5 where C.

J. Yorath, said he was very glad to see an additional 35.000.000 cubic feet of natural gas or, rather he was glad to see such a well blow in, presumably sa Royaltte 11. I can tell Mr. Yorath that it is not at all a pleasant sight for the domestic users of this product who are paying 33 cents per thousand feet to see another 35,000,000 cubic feet thrown to waste and helping still more to illuminate the skies of Turner Val ley. This gas Is being wasted at the expense of the people, and not of the individuals who may be representing some gigantic corporation with the headquarters in the United States, and employing United States citizens to direct their business from that aide of the line with a representative here.

Mr. Yorath may be able to enlighten me along with the people on that subject, for it came to my notice that he waa trying to arrange terma with two provinces, namely, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and also cities of these provinces, to lay a pipeline and supply same with waste gas from the Royaltte wells. That may account for hia gladness over Roy-alite 11. At any rate. Mr.

Yorath intimated to the Reglna city council that he had a contract to handle all the waste ga from the Royaltte wells. I consider that it would be interesting to the people of thia province to renlly know who or what Mr. Yorath wa representing, for he certainly doe not represent the taxpayers, or the province, and it is a foregone conclusion that neither would benefit from his plan. Now, here is my Idea of really relieving the provinces named in thi gas question and also cities snd town which may be on this proposed line of a portion of their unemployed. May I be permitted to suggest that the heads of these provinces of Alberta.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan hold a conference with the cities involved in this plan and reach a decision which should be flnaL and refuse Mr. Yorath and the company he is representing a franchise to carry thia gas that is being wasted in Turner Valley. The governments themselves should put in this pipeline. Doing so, it would relieve the serious unemployment probelm which the governments, and not a private company, are now faced with. Let the governments get together without loss of time, for thera are men looking work and some have wive and fami'ie to support tht will need more support thi coming winter.

There may be iron work here that could supply the pipe for the pipeline and also en gineering words tnat could supply MEN are unfortunately more uncomfoiuble In breaking through convention than they are In wearing stupid clothes whicn rob their bodies of sunlight." This is the opinion of Sir Bruca Bruce-Porter, the eminent physician, who, although in deep sympathy with the movement against wastlr.g sunshine, believes that there is little hope of converting the men of the present -generation to a proper appreeUticn of sun-bathing. "I believe that our best prospect In a national war against anti-sunshine olothlng in directing most of our energies among the youth," Sir Bruce said. "Speaking generally, I do not believe that grown-up men even these who went overseas during the war ran be induced to reform their clothiig. "Our men are hidebound by convention and are afraid to adopt clothe which differ ladlcally in appearance from those which their father and tnelr grandfathers wore. "There have bten no radical chanrea In men's clothing for generations, and men are therefore not used to change.

A few cranks and a snail number of average men may change, but the great mass would rather lose the benefits of sunshine than brave a revolution in fasnlon. "There is more hope for grown women Women clothing is always uhariii'ng. and the fair sex has often adopted new faihione which have been at least as revolutionary as anything which i likely to be suggested by drejs reformer. "Women seldom refuse anything The Lambeth MONTREAL THE formal opening of the seventh Lambeth Conference an imi.rtrtRnr flat in th hisUrv of the Anglican Church. This is the largest conclave of kind neld within the.

modern cycle of episcopal gatnerings. Delegations from all parts of the British Empire and th United States are in aitendancs at thi decennial event, sn4 meet together for mutual C'lnaultation upon the crucial modern problems the Church, at this juncture, perforce confronts. It is reDorted that the agenda In- cludra six general subjects that call for attention ana treatment. Including the present aspects of domeslio life, and also the relations subsisting between capital and iabor. Yet these matters, al though of deep importance and looming larg in the conference pr6ceedings.

art likely to take secondary place in comparison with' the question of Church unity which. It i considered, ha the most pressing claim, comes closest home to sn assemblage of this character and is the cardinal factor in determining the range, quality and Influence of Cnurch leadership. That the various religious bodies listed under the banner of Protestantism are feeling the evil effects of their "unhappy divisions" is a truism. Neither the representativee of the Anglican Church nor those of the so-callel Nonconformist bodit ars satislitd with the condition that now obtain. Ever since the modern cycle of the Lambeth Conferences began the question uf Church re-union has occupied a prominent place in the deliberation.

And it quite understandable why thi should be the case. For whilst outside onlooker may, on ths on hand, fail to appreciate the essential points of unity snd exaggerate the effects of sectarianism, on the other hand it can hardly be dented that the disintegration has wrought much confusion, has tenacd to an unseemly partisanship, and 'j weakened visibly the influence of the Chutcn as a whole upon the classes and the masses of civilization. This Is frankly admitted. of a OPPOSITION RANKS ARE REINFORCED THE recent Alberta election has provided a iomewhat stronger opposition in the Legislature, but once again the government has more eupportera than the popular vote showed It is entitled to. The government will have forty member In the new Legislature, three les than formerly, although the total membership will be sixty-three Instead of sixty.

Gains were made by the Conservatives and Liberals, while three Independents were elected. The Labor representation has been reduced to four. It is quit probable that the Independ-enta will line up with one or other of th two old political parties. The regular opposition will number nineteen, a the four Labor membera are likely to continue their nominal alliance with the gov ernment Even without Labor, the government will have a clear majority of sixteen over all the other groups in the House. It will be in no danger of defeat, but an augmented opposition will be able to render useful service in supervising and challenging when necessary th conduct of affair EXODUS IS STILX IN FULL SWING DURING the present campaign Hon.

Mackenzie King has de clared over and over that the exo dus of population to the United Stat has stopped and that the trend la the other way. Statistic compiled by th United Statea De partment of Labor provide an ef' fectiv answer to the prime minis ter's assertion that th tide has changed. A close check is main tained on immigration by the Washington authorities. Accoiding to their records, 34,993 Canadians entered the Slates to take up residence during the last six months of 1929 as against 1,175 emigrants to Canada. During the first four months of this year Canadian entered th State and th return tide consisted of 878 Coming nearer horn, American records ihow that during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1929, th total number of emigrants from Alberta to the State was 1,419 and for the year ending Jun 30, 1930, the number was 1.468, Of this latter number, 1,094 were Canadian-born and 372 American naturalized in Canada.

This does not look as If the tide had turned. It doe not look either, a if the King government had discovered a way of keeping young Canadiana at home. Emigration to th State is a result ot unemployment and unemployment in Canada 1 due to the fiscal policy of the King administration.

Conference GAZETTE And until the religious organization can find some basis of agreement upon which, they can stand, aoltdly before the world, with one mind, one voice and one consent, there csn be small marvel if the messag and evangel of the Church does not meet with the response It really merits. Cnurch union ia one t.ie first requisites of leadership.

And in these days when scientific for a basis of morals and human fellowship are being, in some quarters, exploited in place of religion, when the proposed comity of nations stands out in challenge of the distraught posture of Protestant bodies, if the Church is to rega her rtghtAil position and influence within the community at large, it is high time the matter of Church union snould be brought to practical conclusion In accord with the vital interests that lie at stake. That, of course, IS a familiar story. But. its pressure wss never greater nor mote urgent than at the present hour.
