ever-heightening crisis in Europe, the Government has at last taken a move to make Canada\u2019s war effort lo an extent comparable with the resources of the country, although even Hie increased programme announced in Parliament on Monday can by no means be caHed excessive when the natural wealth of the country and the gravity of the situation is considered.The increased effort is (o be concentrated on the land and air forces, the Government being apparently satisfied that for the lime being at least, [he naval expansion programme is adequate for the needs of the times.The formation of the Third Division, announced last week, is to he supplemented by the recruiting of the rifle units required for a Fourth Division, the two moves adding some thirty, thousand men to the armed forces.The Government .is also prepared to dig deeper into Us pocket toward the cost of Ihe Commonwealth Air Training Plan, /or which more men than originally planned will he galled up, some of them being temporarily assigned vo other duties.Reserve units of officers formed from veterans of the First Great War are to be organized while the Yeierans' Home Guard may also he expanded.it is lo be hoped that the Canadian Government will not thus rest on its laurels but will continue with an aggressive policy, seeking to keep in advance of developments rather than behind them.The Allied High Command has indicated its intention of taking the offensive despite the Belgian debacle, and the Dominion might well follow this decision.THE NEW UNITED STATES ENVOY The growing importance of Canada in Hie international situation is reflected in the appointment of .1.Pierreponl Moffat, chief of the European Department of the Stale Department, a career diplomat, as United States Minister to Canada.The appointment will mean Ihe presence in Canada of a technically trained official whoso knowledge and tact may be drawn upon heavily, it the fortunes of war project relations between the two countries even more definitely into the forefront of American foreign policy.Mr.Moffat is thoroughly familiar with all deu tails of United States diplomatic policy toward the war.He entered the diplomatic service in 1917, at the age of twenty-one, as private secretary to the American Minister to The Hague and later served in AY a rsaw, Tokyo, Constantinople and Berne.When the United States established diplomatic relations with Canada in 1927 with William Phillips, now Ambassador to Italy, as minister, he was selected by Mr.Phillips as First Secretary of the Legation.From 1935 to 1937 he was Consul-General al Sydney.VS.AV.In the course of these years.Mr.Moffat also served a number of times in the Stale Department and at international conférences.At one time in the Coolidge administration he was in charge of protocol for the While House, and from 1932 to 1935 was chief of the old Western Furopean division in the department.He was placed in charge of Ihe present European division in 1937 in view of the gravity of the situation.At the time he was on leave of absence from Sydney.An expert on armament limitation in the years that subject was uppermost in international relations, Mr.Moffat attended, in official capacities as technical assistant or adviser, meetings of the Preparatory Commission for Disarmament at Geneva in 1927, 1929 and 1930, the Red Cross and Prisoners of War Conference at Geneva in 1929, the special commission for the preparation of a draft convention on the private manufacture of arms and ammunition and implements of war, also at Geneva in 1929.He also attended the conference for the abolition of import and export prohibition® and restrictions in Geneva in 1928.EMPLOYMENT CONDITIONS BETTER Industrial activity at .May 1 showed a decidedly upward movement which resulted in a higher level of employment than at the same date in any other year for which statistics are available, with the exception of 1939.The staffs of the 11.970 establishments co-operating with the Dominion Bureau of Statistics in compiling the report aggregated 1,117,-547 as compared with 1,094,600 in April.This was an increase of 22,947 persons, or 2.1 p.c., a gain which slightly exceeded the average for May I in earlier years of the record.Based on the i 926 average as 100, the crude index rose from 111.9 at April It to 114.3 at May 1.For May 1 last year 11,607 firms had furnished data, showing that they employed 1,030,713 persons, al which time the cm de index stood at 106.2.\t: » .\t.\t, ,\t.,\t,\t, f War :s a wrecker of trade.Also

Columbia, 5,000 in Quebec DRASTIC ACTION NEEDED (Vancouver Sun) late for the people of Canada and not merely for a group of traders known as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange, it will close that Exchange for the auration of the war.What has happened in Canada is that a fictitious price position was built up by the traders, and this couid not have been brought about unless a minimum price was established to aid the fanners.There is no fault to be found in the government naming this guaranteed price, but having done that the government should have closed the Exchange.The traders ran up the price, failed to push export sales\u2014then at the first crisis in the war, the bottom drops out of the market.Canadian government wheat board owning most of the stocks in behalf of the Canadian people, lost both ways.On high quotations they don\u2019t make sales\u2014then values (that never really existed) are wiped out in the stump.The lesson to the government is that if prices are to be guaranteed to save the producers\u2014and there is good argument in favor of that\u2014 then trading should be closed out, because it can not be on any other basis than a false and fictitious one.PRESS COMMENTS 11915.There was April 22, when (the Yprcs front was broken and the (French were in full retreat.The i prospect then was more dismal, the j outlook more dark with foreboding, : than

I then decided to move the ice-box into the cellar.We saved a little on the ice but the continued running up and down stairs was out of the question so I tried another idea (I was really getting from bad to worse.) One evening I placed some of the things in the ice-box between the kitchen and double doors, so it would be handy in the morning.During the night it bec-came much colder and by morning everything was frozen stiff\u2014half a week\u2019s supply entirely ruined\u2014a total loss ! \u201cSo right there and then we purchased an electric refrigerator\u2014and what an improvement compared with the old ice-box which cost me so much money to operate, insufficient space and a great deal of labor and so much loss of food.\u201cNow I can defrost and clean my1 electric refrigerator once a week, go away for a week or so and not worry about ice melting or overflowing of the drip-pans.It certainly has done away with those worries.\u201cI can purchase my week\u2019s supply of food on Saturday, when the weekend specials are on at a substantia! saving.With the correct refrigeration I can keep my food in perfect condition until it is used up.The left-over food can be placed in the revolving refrigerator dishes and covered, and kept fresh until ready to be used.All the vegetables and fruit can be kept in the freshener and when ready to use are as fresh as if they were just picked from the garden.\u201cElectric refrigeration has been a marvelous help to me the year round, and especially so during the winter season.Buying fruit and vegetables in the winter is not so convenient, sometimes the stores run out of a supply.So to be able to .buy in large quantities, and store them away in an electric refrigerator, is wonderful.mmmm V .'\u201cW i BONDVILLE Mr.and Mrs.John Bassett, of Montreal, spent a week-end at their summer home here.Mrs.Charles McClay, who spent two weeks with her daughter in Richford, Vt., has returned home.Mr.Gerald Cummings, of Montreal, spent the week-end here with his parents.Mr.Arnold Jones, of New York City, was visiting Mr.George McClay.Mr.Dean Ladd, of Montreal, was a week-end guest of his parents.Mr.and Mrs.J.Ladd.In the absence of the incumbent of the parish, Rev.H.P.Mount, the service in the Church of the Good Shepherd on Sunday was conducted by Mr.Jack de-la-Mare, lay reader, of Sutton Junction.Miss Hazel Tibbits, of Shawinigan Falls, spent the holiday and weekend here with her parents, Mr.and Mrs.Forest Tibbits.Mr.and Mrs.Stanley Perron and family, of Sweetsburg.were guests of Mrs.Perron\u2019s parents, Mr.and Mrs.Jay Ladd.Keatejmomes Wmm mmam bo>'*sT\u2019° CON\"^ ^ n INCLUDES an T/cjCI/LLC-K\" -RANGE\u2019 .refrigerator \u2022 HIUSHER \u2022VACUUM CLEANER \u2022MIXER \u2022IRON \u2022TOASTEB VET POKIER BILLS, including OPERATION GF 2 RADIOS AND adequate lighting m THE WHOLE HOUSE are vert lovi 6 j»».\t'\u201cN\u2019-'-' /\u2022 / .'\t.eyy -,Y 'S;- \u2022 * \u2018 U \u2018r V ro\"° \t-.- 1 'jsîi\u20141\u2014 \"\tIt, and Mrs.W MacNeil of\tRendent of the\tGirls\u2019\tIndustrial of several months and arf In res- !KrhereSPent 3 *\t^\t^ ^h0ol> iS in Toronto for sevel\u2019al idence at their home.\tj Mr.and Mrs.McCurdy and Mr.J.E.Hutchison spent the Tr;encjg( 0f Montreal, spent a week-week-end at his home m Lemesurier, :0I-d at their summer home, where he was a guest oi his parents., Mrs.J.\\V.Turner entertained n iLaiK*cM-T ^ - *s; MacKay and guests from Montreal.caughiPr, Shirley, and Mrs.Duncan Quite a few from here attended Mnckay motored to t owansvilic onjthe funeral of Mrs.Aitken at the k.\tunday, where they wore _guests of .home of Mr.P.Crittenden.Sincere June meeting \u201cT-\tv/\" ir !S' h-euneta Elyidge.\tMrs.'sympathy is extended to the family.\tSociety.l.\tMac Kay remained tor a few : Mr.Clayton Manuel has been con- Miss Dorothea\tRamsey\tis\thome weeks visit.\tMined to his bed with the measles, i from McGill University.An.Hector MacRao.of Shei-1 Mr.and Mrs.Preece have ra-I Mr.and Mrs.Fred Clohosy are brooke, and Mr-.Robert May new, turned to Montreal after spending a'occupying Mr.Mervin Corey's house, ?J bu''.'.were guests on Mother\u2019s |few days here in town.\trecently vacated by Mr.Amos Ash- 1 ay ot Mi.and Mis.Kenneth Mac-1 Mi\\ Victor Prim and his mother, | ton and family.days Mrs.J.A.Perras spent, a days in Montreal with friends.few STANBRIDGE RIDGE Mrs.Neil Baker will entertain the of the Ladies\u2019 Aid SEEK CURB ON FIFTH COLUMN Vancouver, May 29.\u2014 shareholders of record at the cIom of business on the let day of June, 1940.By ortier of the Board.H.E.GREEN, Sec.-Treas.Montreal, May 22nd, 1040.London.Am.Can Am.Smelting.Am.T.& T.Anaconda Copper .Atchison .« .Baltimore & Ohio.Bethlehem Steel .Can.Pacific.Chesapeake & Ohio .Chrysler.Com.Solvents.Del.& Hudson .Du Pont .General Electric .General Motors .Inter.Harvester.Montgomery Ward .,.Northern Pacific .N.Y.Centra) .Sears Roebuck .Standard Oil of NJ.Southern Pacific .Texas Oil Corp.Union Pacific.U.S.Steel .Westinghouse .Woolworth .Warner Bros.Open\tHigh\tLow\tNeon 91\t91\t91\t91 35%\t36%\t85\t35% 148%\t148%\t148%\t148% 21%\t22\t2d %\t22 14%\t14%\t14%\t14% j 3%\t3%\t3%\t8% j 69%\t70%\t60\t60% | 2%\t2%\t2%\t2% 32%\t3K%\t32%\t32% 57%\t58%\t57%\t58% 8%\t9\t8%\t9 1 10%\t10%\t10%\t10% 153\t153\t158\t153 3%\t3%\t3%\t3% 29%\t29%\t29%\t29% 40 V2\t40%\t39%\t40 40%\t40%\t40%\t40% 36%\t3\u20188%\t96%\t36% 5%\t5%\t5%\t5% i 10%\t10%\t10%\t10% 64%\t64%\t64%\t64% 31%\t31%\t31%\t31% 7%\t7%\t7%\t7%| 36%\t35%\t35%\t35%; 76%\t76%\t76%\t76% !
