which to ealighten public opinion; being obliged , te refer largely to figures reported by the United States Bureau of Statistics.It 1s therefore Interes- | ing to mote that a first report of vital statistics has ' bows made by the Dominion Bureau for the year 1921, though it is umfortunate that the Province of Quebec, which represents twenty-seven per cent of the Population, is not as yet included in these returns.Incomplete as they are, however, the Canadian figures are highly Insiructive and should stimulate employers of labor 10 encourage the spread of know.lodge of first ald since it is claimed that, although the accidental deaths compare most favorably with those reported from the United States in the same period, the martality list could be materially reduced and national efficiency better maintained in thh manner.The dctailed figures which follow speak for themnetves: 3.308 persons died as the result of accidents in one year, suicides, homicides and Infanticides being omitted from the total.678 died as the result of accidental drowning.6689 deaths were due to injuries received by weliicien of all kinds, 447 died as the result of fractured bones, 320 persons were killed by reason of various other external cnnses, 270 deaths were the resnlt of barns, 263 died of injuries due to falling from a height.185 were accidentally killed by firearma.156 deaths were duc to accidental poisoniug.68 died of accidents due to machinery, 53 deaths were due to electricity, 51 deaths happened in mines and quarries.349 died as the result of blood poisoning (nepti- cemis.) 108 deaths were due to excessive heat (san- stroke.) 22 deaths were attributed to \u201cexcessive cold.\u201d 16 died from lightning stroke.Of the 689 deaths classified as due to \u201caccidental injury by other crushings, as by vehicles.etc.\u201d the statistics show that 208 were railroad, 187 automobile and 23 street car accidenta ATLANTIC FISHERIES DISPUTES.A lively interest is being manifested at the present moment both in the Maritime Provinces and in .the New England States in the Atlantic fisheries {which have always been more or less a bone of con- tion between the two countries.A Joint High mission which was appointed some six or seven ago to investigate the situation, recommended hat each country open its ports to fishermen of the iother nationality and admit the fish caught by them.free of duty.This plan was then adopted as a war measure, but while Canada has continued to extend these privileges to United States\u2019 fishermen ever since, Washington permitted the war-time legislation to become inoperative in 1921 and more recently imposed high customs duties on foreign fish.As a result of the unequal situation thns created the Dominion Government has finally withdrawn from United States fishermen the privilege of enter- fag Canadian ports to ship their catches in bond to home markets.Washington therefore cannot reasonably complain that its nationals have been hardly treated.The Boston Globe, which admits that the - American duty on imported fish is prohibitive, says there will be plenty of time before the opening of the ext fishing season for negotiations between Ottawa and Washington and adds: \u201cIn the past a fine spirit of goodwill on both sides of the international line has always found a way to sccommodate the fishing tne terests of both countries.\u201d To this the Sydney, NS.Record rejoins that Canada has tong manifested goodwill hy action which was not reciprocated on the other side of the boundary line and adds: \u201cIt ja the Americans\u2019 move now.\u201d It has been suggested in nome quarters that the withdrawal of privileges enjoyed by United States\u2019 \u2018 fishermen since 1888 may reanit simply in a renewal - 6\u20ac old disputes botween the two countries.There was long » controverm over the interpretation of the treaty of 1818 between Great Britain and the United States.By that treaty United States\u2019 fishermen were allowed to dry and cure fish OR certain portions of the coasts of Newfoundland and Canada.They were mot allowed to take, dry or cure fish on or within three marine miles of other coasts, bays, creeks and Rarbors, but were allowed to enter them for shelter, + 80 make repairs or to secure wood and water, There was a long difference as to the bays which sud were them permitted to

happen on Jemmary 10th, 1935, the date B46 by the Treaty of Vermilies for the evacuation of | J tom mertiisen some of the Rhinolené?\" This le à ques- or es \u201cMuch \u2019 .$ which Mr, Poincare saswered in à apesoh deltv.as we stand by reparations, just so much we stand by our security, We are resolved not to ovacuate the territories cocupéed by virtue of the Treaty, before all the clauxes signed ae Versailles are completely cxocuted apd until wo are firmly protected agulnst possiblities\u2019 of futuro aggression.\u201d This statement was at the time Interpreted In several quaricrs as moaning that France Intends to stay permanently In the Rubr.It was argued by cer- taln publicists that If France war to hold occupled territories until \u201cfirmly protected aguinst poasibilitios of future aggression\u201d she might be there forever, Against this, however, it was promptly explained in an official statement issued at Paris through the Havas Telegraphic Agency, that Mr.Poincare\u2019s words \u201capplied only to the occupled teeritories on the left bank of the Rhine and to the bridgeheads.\u201d In fact, it Is semi-officially amserted, Mr.Poincare never intended to awimilate the situation In the Ruher and in the Rhimeland.lu his note of August 20th.1928, to the British Government, he protested \u201cindignantly against the assumption that France wishea to annex the Rubr or to remain there,\u201d observing moreover: \u201cWo are not the ones who desire to prolong the present situation.\u201d The statersent ho made in his speech at Neuilly ls devlared to be none the less important.however, as he gave there a clear indication of his views concerning tie Rhineland, anticipating probably the diacus- h sion of à new prublem, on or before the 10th af Janunry, 1925.From the French point of view, this problem of che evacuation of the Rhineland is simple | enough and may be summarized as follows: \u201cThe occupation of the German territory west of the Rhine, together with the bridgeheads, cannot he restricted according to the treaty schedule, because the conditions of wid treaty have not been carried out, and the period of fifteen years for the occupation has not cven commenced to run.\u201d Occupation and evacuation of the Rhineland are regulated by articles 428 and 420 of the Versailles Treaty, setting forth the conditions nnder which Germany will be entitled to demand evacuation.Article 128 mys that the German territory sltusted to the West of the Rhine, together with the bridgcheads, will | bc occupied hy the Allied and associated troops \u201cas a | guarantee for the execution of the present treaty by Germany.\u201d Article 439 provides for progressive cvacantion by zones on the following dates: First sone, on January 10th, 1925; arcond zone un January 10th, 1935\u2014\"1f the conditions of the present treaty aro faithtully carried out by Germany.\u201d But there is no doubt in the French mind that Germany has not fulfilled her treaty obligations in any way whatsoever, and consequently is not entitied to claim the benefit of the above article.There is no doubt clther, In the French mind, that none of the Allied Governments fa entitled to deny France or Belginm the right io remain in the northern sector of the Rhincland after the 10th of January, 1925, because the guarantee of security provided for in the final varagraph of article 420 Is absolutely non-existant.Thin nays: \u201cIf at that date (after 15 years) the guarantees against anprovoked aggression by Germany are not considered sufficient by the Allied and Assoclated Governments, the evacuation by the troops, of occupation may be postponed to the extent considered for the purpose of obtaining the required guarantees\u201d For wocks, Mr.Clemenceau stood his ground agninst President Wilson and Mr, Lloyd George, but finally gave in and accepted to reduce to fifteen years only, the military occupation of the lett bank of the Rhine.Why did he abandon his former position on this most \u2018mportant question?Because, lt ts contended, President Wilson and Mr.Lloyd George offer- «d to France a double treaty of eventual assistance and guarantee.Foresecing, however, that the American Senate and the House of Commons might refuse to ratify those treaties of guarantee; the prace nego- tistors added to article 429 of the Versailles Treaty the final paragraph quoted above, The non-ratification of the American Senate was just what happened and, the ratification by Great Britain being conditional on the ratification by the United States, France is left without any diplomatic guarantee concerning her fatare security.Is It possible for the Allied and Associated Governments to consider to-day, France enquires, that the guarantees mentioned in article 430 quoted above are |Bamonton.This announcement was = thought to amount to several thou- Du the month of December only, B® conter with President Johny.Kelly.22
