same idea we have," the Prime Minister; said, “that in recent years there has been a lot of dupli- cation and overlapping. I believe the Provinces feel as we do that the country has a right to a pretty clear statement of our position and what is involved in the way of taxation if we are to go on as we have been.

"The Provinces, like ourselves. have balanced budgets in view and that depends on co-operation. Opening up of trade channels such as we have embarked upon should be of assistance to us in reaching that objective."

Unemployment, relief costs and all kindred subjects would be the main problem, the Prime Minister said. Other headings on the agenda would cover financial re- lations between Provinces and Dominion social services and their tic-operation, amendments to the British North America Act, min- ing developments. taxation, agri- cultural markets. natural resources and tourist traffic development.

The agenda has been placed in the hands of-each Prime Minister and till be made public at the Opening session Monday morning.

Miss Pope, are in our thought a representative of the highest wom- anhood not merely by your skill, your unvlearied toil, nor by the blessed results oi’ your endeavours, throughout your service valuable as all this may be, but you have par-

“love", for "love is of God and

God.” A nurse's calling is a. profes- sion like other professions, but the religious aspect of life means that a. profession shall be sanctified to a vocation, a life work given from God in which we serve Him and carry out his will. And truly have you devoted yourself to your call- ing. m reading an article published in a “Canadian Nurse" of some years ago we find a short account of your works. It is as follows:

{Georgina Pane Pope, who is a. daughter of the late Judge W. H. Pope (a Father of Confederation) and a sister of Sir Joseph Pope,

of Ottawa, was born at “Ardgowarl.” Charlottetown, Prince Edward Is- land. Miss Pope received her tram- ing at the “Mother of Training Schools in America."-Bellcvue, N. Y. After graduation she had charge of Dr. Johnson's private hospital in Washingtoh, D. C. Then for five years lvlias Pope was superintend- ent of Columbia Hospital for Wom- en, in Washington, where she start- ed n. training school for nurses. Owing to ill-health she resigned from the Co‘umbia Hospital for Women. After a year's rest and a post-graduate course at Believue, Miss Pope was appointed in charge of St. John's Hospital, Yonkers, N. Y. where. she remained until the autumn of 1899. A month later she sailed from Quebec to serve her country as a member of the nursing staff of the Brit- ish army during the Boer War. After demobilization in 1902 she was on the Reserve Force until 1906, when she Joined the Perman- ent Force and was stationed at Headquarters in Halifax, N. S. Dur- ing the Great War, miss Pope ser- ved for a short time as Matron at Orpington and Taplow before going to Rance as Matron of No. 2 Can- adian Stationary Hospital. She was invalided home in 1919. since when she has retired into private life.

May we add that in the few years we have known you. we have es- teemed you highly. ‘The very thought of your accomplishments, both in your home. country and abroad on the battlefields, your unswervlng fidelity to your calling, and ths sincerity of your love for the Holy Faith urges us to endeavor to emulate the fine example you have placed before us. In conclu- sion we be: you to accept this small token o: our affection, with a hope that your . msining years, and‘ may they be many, has in store for you health, happiness, and an abund- ance of God's graces.

Abel-hart Giving No Thought To Social Credit Until Pro- v(i‘nce’s Debt Clear- e I

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA. Dec. ‘ti-Owners oi’ Alberta bonds are being asked to consider a re-arrangement of in- temst charges. it was announced here today by Premier William Aberhart. He arrived here to at- tend the Dominion-Provincial con- ference.

Alberta, the Western Premier said, desired to pay its debts, "but we cannot go on paying as we are. ‘There is no use of talking about

..

A letter has been sent to Can- adlan dealers in Alberta bonds set- ting forth thc province's position, Mr. Abel-hart said.

The total debt of Alberta. ls about $160,000,000 with the average in- teresc about five per cent.- Interest chnrses take one-half the income of the province "and with relief on top of that ft is swamping us."

The letter to the bond dealers set forth the government's conclu- sion debt adjustment was necessary if obligations were to be met and the budget balanced. To do this a reduction in fixed charges seemed imperative with economy and in- creased taxation. _

The government the letter said, had formulated no cut and dried plan but‘ desired to consider the views of Alberta bond holders. As one concrete proposal it suggested the province might issue a per- petual security similar to British Consols to a. total of $80,000,000 or one-half the debt.’ _ ‘

For the remaininfi ‘NQOOOQOO serial bonds might be issued with full sinking fund provisions. This would mean that a present owner of bond of $1.000 would receive 50 Der cent in perpetual consols and 50 per cent in Imperial bonds.

Premeir Abel-hart sold that, con- sidering all financial factors, the province felt it could not pay more than 2 3-4 per cent on either con- suls 0r bonds in addition to the full sinking fund. As a. gesture of goodwill, the province would be willing to earmark the annual Dominion subsidy of 91,710,000 as a guarantee of payment of service charges as well as other revenue sources.
