National Advertising
A Toronto business man wants the Canadian
government to spend eight million dollars a year
in advertising Canada to the people of the United
States.
Canada might spend more in other ways and
get less for. it, There are cities here and abroad
which spend public money to advertise themselves.
Some of our states are doing it. But apparently no
national government has yet gone into the pub
licity game direct and unashamed. There is no
evident reason why Canada or the United States
or any other land with something to offer the world,
shouldn’t take this straightforward way.
Canada has much that is worth advertising.
Americans, who are prone to spend much time and
money visiting more distant countries, should know
what Canada has to. offer as a playground and va
cation land. They should know, too, the economic
resources and business possibilities of the Dominion.
Canada is already the most-visited foreign coun
try and the largest buyer of American goods. The
United States is also a large buyer of Canadian
goods; but the Canadians themselyes seldom come
along with their imports. Each country should
know (lie other bettor. They might do worse than
exchange advertising space.
We Are Not Spendthrifts
During 1926, American savings banks gained
almost 3,000,000 depositors and $1,562,140,000 do-
posits. There are now 46,762,000 dejiositors, with
$24,6%,192,000 deposits.
New England has the largest percentage of de
positors, with the highest per capita deposits, almost
$500 per depositor. In contrast, New Mexico has
but $19 per inhabitant and Texas only $31.
Some of this apparent difference in savings is
merely a difference in investment habits. Every
where the savings «hank habit grows; the vast vol
ume of such funds shows that the country is amaz
ingly prosperous and that it has formed the sav
ings habit and found it good.
A French poultryman says hens lay better if

No Millennium Yet
The report covering the year 1926 of the Ameri-
.can Civil Liberties union shows that in that period
violent intolerance was far from negligible in this
country.

.
For example, twenty-eight pmblic meetings were
prevented or stopped .by groups opposing the be
liefs of those about to meet. The meetings thus
molested ranged from communist meetings to meet
ings of the Salvation army; also, there were thirty-
four lynching, as compared to eighteen in 1925,
sixteen in 1934 and twenty-eight in 1923. The in
crease- is attributed to the failure of congress to
pass anti-lynching legislation. In this, the league is
wrong. State gvoemments are directly responsible
for such violence.
So-called political prisoners, those convicted
of anti-syndicalism or anti-sedition, under the state
laws, were reduced from seventy-seven in 1925 to
seventeen, January 1, 1927. California and Wash
ington, where prosecution under siich charges had
been particularly active, apparently did not apply
them at all in 1926; in fact, in Washington the five
svndacalist prisoners were all released during the
year. That condition ^peaks well for tolerance of
articulate opinions.
The league held up Massachusetts, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania as “ the worst states in the union
for civil liberties.” In those states bitter capital-
labor struggles occurred and the league charges
public authorities went beyond the law in favoring
employers. The authorities, however, say they only
followed the law.
*
, The summary in all demonstrates that this na
tion is still a long way from the condition wherein
the lion and the lamb of opposing opinions may lie
down together without something very disagree
able happening to the lamb. As hoys, some of us
were advised *by our parents to count to 100 before
giving way to anger. Possibly if grown men with in
fantile self-control would do likewise, these prob
lems would settle themselves.
