Addressing the chamber of com

policy in demanding war repara

dinner given by the American com-
niitue mr devastated France, he
related the gratitude of hs coun
trymen for America's aid in the
war and in reconstruction. In ad
dition, he attended an official re
ception at city hall. He spoke
only in French.
In his address, he flouted the
idtu that Germany is unable to
pay what is demanded of her.
' Some have said that the claims
of France are exaggerated," be
said. "It is a lie."
He added that he had just re
ceived word from his government
that Germany proposes to pay her
war debts ' from supplementary
profits made from her foreign
trade." " ,
"For her to do this." he declar
e.d, "she will need to absorb 40
per cent of the world's trade,
which would mean countries
which control the world commerce
would be reduced to misery."
In his address at his city hall
reception, M. Viviani compared
today's visit with tnai of 1917.
when he and Marshal Joffre were
swamped by a :"tremenaous wave
ot wonderfully" sympathetic hu
manity." "Now the war is over, and we
have won." he said. "I come here
is a pilgrim of France to tell the
American people of France's love
and gratitude."
Looking at a life sized picture
Of Lafayette, M. Viviani referred
to his work in aiding in the Amer
ican revoliitfon, and added: "Am
erica has returned his services to
us a hundredfold."
"But," he continued, "our rela
tions are not those of creditor and
debtor, but those of peoples satu
rated with the same ideals. The
name of America will be blessed
is the humblest home of the re
motest hamlet ot France."
- After the. exchange, of, greetings
M. Viviani told the mayor he had
brought as a token from the
French government a small Serves
vase which would be presented to
the city.
Martin W. Littleton, speaking at
the dinner tonight said that
"while we have paused in front of
obligations concealed in the possi

turned our backs upon the lofty
aim and superb spirit which the

delegates of the states and those
of ttritish Columbia on the ques

cut was found by the delegates
from the states holding a separ

of the afternoon 'nternational
session and at this separate ses

tne northerners were adopted;
The resolutions committee had
prepared recommendations for
protection of American lead, zinc,
mercury and magnesite, and an
other resolution Indorsed the Pitt

the price of silver had been sta

When these resolutions were
ready for presentation. British
Columbia delegates on the com

close of the afternoon program.

What constitutes the difference

The margin is very small if you

you have marked the dividing line.
The war cost our country at least

If the average family of five per
