Exports of but- ter were not large but were tltrce times those of 1938. Total exports of ntilk products rose tn value by twelve per cent. Exports of con- densed milk and of evaporritctl milk declined but milk powder exports rcctirtlcd a ittarltctl gain. Canada is a large exporter of cheese and ranks third among cheese exporting cotttttries. Her shipments of this product are not so great, however, as in the opening years of the century. Owing to the growth of the population the manufacture of cheese for export ltas been re- placed by the tttakittg of butter for home con- sumptton. u n- a a Although the rate of increase in the number of marriages registered in 67 cities and towns having a population of 10,000 and over has slack- cned somewhat since the sharp upswing in Sep- tember, the uptrend was still in evidence in Febr- uary when 3,052 ceremonies were registered u coutpared with 2.314 in FPhfllZlfy, i939, a gain of 27 I-2 per cent.

Now that the pence offensive in under way by wh‘ch Hitler hopes to hold the gains he has made so fur in his effort to establish a Nazi empire in Central Etirope, with Czechs. Poles and Jews as the aborigines. it becomes important to inquire what part Mr. Summer Welles. the president's inquiring reporter, has had in all this. It is fairly obvious that the Germans have been led to believe that Mr. Welles was worth working on. Von Ribbentrop visited Rome as soon as he decently could after Mr. Welles had been there, and when Hitler met Mussoilini at the Brenner, Mr. Welles’ homeward sailing was post.- boned. No wonder London and Paris fear that Mr. Welles is to be the vehicle for an Amerlctttt-ivtt- gineered super-Munich for tile benefit of Nazi success. Up to the time of Mr. Welles‘ Journey Ameri- can policy, as expressed in the speeches of the president, the elim- ination of the aims embargo from the Neutrality Act and toierance of British efforts to enforce titeir blockade. was clearly anti-totalitar- ian. Mr. Roosevelt‘; address of Saturday. in which he excluded its satisfactory peace terms the results of oppression and conquest of small nations, has momentarily massur- ed the Allies as to American in- tentions. But Mr. Welles still gives them quite a jolt. They find this Weller more terrifyin than Orson. Almost unannoun , he finds himself at the centre of a new Nazi peace offensive. What Ameri- cana will want to knew is how he got there. — Baltimore sun. The story of the rescue of six sailors of the wrecked Canadian lumber schooner Chisholm after they had drifted two weeks and lived on whatever floated up from the salt-watered galley is not a new story to the people who make their iivinz by the sea or take a special interest in the sea from their» lubbeivapartments for from the water's edge. But somehow in this latest rescue story in the c‘lin of seafarers’ tales there was it hint which takes one back to the phoe- riicians and a promise to the port of the civilized world that believes the defeat. of the Nazis would be for the itood of the future of the world. The hint lies in the details of the rescue. Although they ex- perienced great hardshi , the crew managed to survive or fourteen days on raw potatoes and turnips and pieces of pork much saltier than normal. some of the crew cut. a hole in a, deck that lay floating juitt beneath the water. and up bobbed a barrel of water.

JOHN'S Nfld., After six ears of commission government tie newspapers of this Newfoundland capital have weighed and found wanting the system in- uugurated in 1934 after the is- land's status as a Dominion was voted out by its Parliament. "The system has failed," writes one observer, "because government without opposition 1B impossible and because of the exclusion of t.ite press from all discussions." In November, 1933, the legisla- tive Council and Lower House of Newfoundland passed a resolution petitioning the Government of the United Kingdom to implement re- commendations of a Royal Com- ntisslon which had investigated the financial and economic position. 101d Amulree of London was chairman and Sir William Stavert of Montreal and C.A. Ma- ggath of Victoria, B.C_., were mem- is. The Amulree report favored the suspension of parliamentary ov- emment in favor of governmen by commission appointed by the Unit- ed Kingdom Government until the island again became self-support- ing The Mother Country would asist the solution of financial problems embnrrusslniz Newfound- land. The effect of the change was to reduce the island from do- minion to colonial status. I Even after Newfoundlandb ac- ceptance of the Amuiree proposals, the measure had a rotigh road in London Laborities and left-wing- ers in the British Commons had a series of amendments ranging from a three-year limit on sus- pension of dominion status to establishment in the ancient col- ony of a "socialist.
