It Is hard to get the exact figures because of devious devices employed by American capital to duck the Canadian income tax.

Flelschman had nothing to do with the announcement about French propaganda in the United States. Neither did any French' official of importance. It appears to have been Issued through one Darlao who is described by Americans who know him as a sort of French Ruey Long. Colonel Sherrill of parade fame Is concerned with the organization of the bus people of the country. The Inland transportation Interests using the highways feel that the Interests using rails have aroused public opin ion unfairly against them. In some states the railroad lobbies have been highly effective. A united front on the part of all the Interests concern ed would make a pretty good show ing for their case.
