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.

HOODOn MTS Oil mumm 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.
