Editorial Correspondence En Route I.aka Louisa to Vancouver, C.P.R. "Mountaineer", July 27th. Tha C.P.R. tacka on an open observation ear at Cal gary and hauls it all tha way to Vancouver, with a trainman to point out tha interesting features. In all the world no mountain scenery like this! The big reason ia the mountains don't rise gradually, from foothill to foothill, and ao on to the snow-capped peaks far in the distance, but they ahoot up directly like a sky rocket, until they hit the sky, and then burst into bars rock, way up there against the blue, Fear the young man will have a sore neck tonight, he knocks tha back of hia head against his shoulder blades, in his determination not to miss tha very tippity top. Tha "Great Divide" ia graphically aimplified. At the crest, 1 mile up, before rustie wood sign, two streams about a food wide, separate, one flowing to the right, the other to the left. This Is tha "wishing; stream", put one hand in one, one in the other and whatever you wish will come true. The young man with characteristic modesty, is the first to try it, and apends some tima in meditation, apparently making the wish good one while he is about it. He refuses to divulge its nature, however, because that would break the spell, aud his wish would not be granted. We have an idea his wish was to get rid of all hia Canadian bills he got ehsnge for 5 U. S. money when he bought a souvenir at Banff without losing his ten percent. If he doesn't make a success in business it will probably be he cause when he grows up, there won't be "no sich animule". He certainly has the proper instinct at a very tender age. He came on the trip with $10, and is already worrying about how much spending money he will have when he reaches New Yorkl If his uncle would give him good U. S. money for his Canadian money it would help. (It would, but Uncle WON'T.) ' One stream flows to the left and into the gulf of Mexico, via Bow River and the Great Great Lakes, the other to the right flows into the Pacific ocean via the Kicking Horse river and the Columbia. The young man regards that as "super-super" and then makes tha trainman repeat it, so there may be no mis take. (He's going to spring that on his geography teacher when he returns to school in September, and make her like it I) e There are three British movie men aboard, one cranking his machine at the scenery while the boss takes notes and the third, in one of the loudest "sport jackets" ever put out by a British loom, appears to check up on both. The trainman in hia patter speaks of a most interesting dis play of fossil fish in one of the upper cliffs, whereupon the chap in the Joseph's coat, observes that he knows all about that, one of them waa served to him at tha Banff Springs hotel, Fri day noon for lunch 1 They are a very gay trio, wise cracking about, and the American school teachers on board, we should say about 90 of the Canadian tourists on the distaff side are school teachers, are greatly intrigued, but go to great pains, of course, not to let anyone suspect it. Wherever the movie group goes they go, as the tripod is set up here and there, but they say nothing or have said noth ing, to any of the trio to date. This indifference is shared by the Britishers, which nettles one of the school teachers, very young and rather good look ing she is too, who remarks to her companion, icily: "They don't act ranch as tho thare was a war to be fought!" "And I thought there waa a draft 1" ia her companion's comment. They dontl But then, as far as we have been able to observe, no one in Canada does. Aside from those two companies drilling this side of Calgary, and a few soldiera at the stntions east of Banff, we have aeen no militarism and no war indications of any sort. War talk on the train is conspicuous by its absence. One of the tourists asked the rear-end brakeman how he thought the war is going. His answer, rather testy, wasr "Do you read the papers, ma'am, the R.A.F. is doing them in, in each and every report!" e We suspected a bit of irony in this, but a glance at the brakie's solemn features, removed any suspicion of it, Thus fsr we would say that this supreme confidence char acterizes the attitude of Canada toward the war, the possi bility of a British defeat by Germany simply isn't mentioned, because it isn't even considered. It may be different in official circles, but we should say this is without doubt today the Canadian psychology of the "man in the street." Saw more wild life on this trip than ever before, three moose and a bear, none of them over 3 or 4 hundred feet from the track. One of the moose, a bull, hrowsintr on deep marsh grass, threw up his head and splashed off, he was as big as an elephant, with an antler spread of about Ifi feet! Whether these were scared up by the C.P.R. for the benefit of the movie men we don't know, but certainly the camera oper ator got his money's worth. Well there is no doubt of this: If England should become too hot for comfort, there is room for everybody here and with a chicken in every pot! One can't escape the impression, as the train plows along from hamlet to hamlet, that here is an empire, that is relatively undeveloped as the I'nited States was two or three generations back. The leisurely progress of the long train, 1 17 cars in this section accentuates the fact. No stream line Muff, no 39 hours from Chicago to the coast as in the states, long stops, leisurely waits, the eutire tempo of the gay nineties , no 39 hour run, but tN! However if one really wishes to SKE the country, that is the speed oue should travel throuirh it. Unusual weather, for it's still raining off and on, like April. o sirauy sunsmne, anu no neat, thank liod, since we crossed the Canadian line. Had a late dinner anil much to our surprise the entire kitchen crew marched in promptly at 8, was joined by all the! waiters, but our one (dining car waiters up here are white) anil they all proceeded to eat, (and how!) aided and abetted by the little cockney steward himself. Even more of a shook, the chef in-chief smoked while he ate and the "first cook" ate with his knifeM Nothing on the trip, however, quite as beautiful as Lake Louise, to our way of thinking at least. The lake, itself, due to the rains, not a clear bine, but a milky green-blue, a very beautiful jade like shade, then the two mountains on either side, sloping down to the water's edge at the far end, until they nearly meet, and behind that a lnu-e staue back-drop from "Gotterdamerung," the famed Victoria glacier "back drop", leading up to a huce hanijins: glacier, so close to the low clouds, it is. at first mistaken for one. until one gets out the field glasses snd perceives it's solid ice. from two to three hundred feet thick! And every now and then, from sunup to sunset, a deep reverberating roar like distant thunder, this weather many mistake it for thunder, but it isn't. it's a tiny avalanche, snow and ice breaking off and crashing below, down, down, two or three thousand feet! W started to walk up to the glacier fields, but it proved too much, and not for only tha old man, either, tha young one, knew, too, when it was tima to quit. (Violent exercise isn't so hot at over 5000 feet.) The young one decided to revive him self on a package of cherry lifesavers, proceeding immediately to get a stomach ache, which was no better when he reached the Chateau, in fact so much worse thst tha house doctor was summoned. Had the H.D. not carried tha familiar black bag we would have mistaken him for one of the younger bell hops, didn't look a day over 26, and perhaps wasn't. But he knew his stuff from the House doctor's standpoint, took the lad's temperature, felt hia pulse, made him say "ah", gave him a brief tattoo on the midriff, and then, much to the young man's disgust, told him he was perfectly all right, only needing a pill and a good night's sleep. Everyone felt the same way, the next morning, when the "pill" proved to be an alka seltzer tablet, and the adolescent M.D.'a bill for it was included in the room statement! R. W. R.

Calif. EXPECTANT GRANDFATHERS NEED IODINE TOO Once more, observes one of my medical friends well, any way a physician who still speaks pleasantly when we meet you seem to be ten years ahead of the profession. The doctor's flattering com ment was oc casloned b y the recent re port of Uni versity of Ore gon investiga-j tors that small quantities o f iodine given to e x pectant mothers produce a greater sense of well being before their babies are born, easier childbirth, few er abnormalities or complica tions of labor, greater success in nursing babies and quicker re covery of normal condition fol lowing childbirth. When the doctor said I seem to be ten years ahead of the pro fession he referred to my advo cacy of a nip of iodine for everybody. You know, the Iodin Ration. Maybe you don't know. If not, then you should know. Send me a stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for Instructions for Taking the Iodln Ration. (Iodin Is my way of spelling iodine and I'm go ing to stick to It.) Modesty, believe it or not, constrains me to say that I have never urged expectant mothers to take the Iodin Ration, altho I do say, in the booklet "Pre paring for Maternity" (for copy send ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address), In most places, especially where goitre Is common the ex pectant mother may well take a suitable iodin ration thruout; pregnancy . . . Long experience has proved that this is harmless, even when iodized salt is used instead of plain salt in the household." When an expectant mother asks whether it Is safe for her to take the Iodin Ration, I re fer her to her own doctor. Now that the profession Is catching up, perhaps I need not bend so far backward in deference to the amenities of medical ethics. But I make no bones of as suring expectant fathers that a nip of iodine two or three times a week Is nearly always bene ficial, and as for expectant grandfathers, it really helps them to stay In the game and to get more joy out of life.

In a few regions of the country possibly there la still enough iodine in the soil and water to supply enough to animals and people who drink the water and eat the foods grown on the soil. In most regions the iodine has been laked from the soil and carried in streams and rivers down to the sea, so that there is not quite enough left to sup ply animal and human require ments in the ordinary way. Foods from the sea are rich in iodine, but in many parts of the country people do not get enough sea food, or are not fond of it, or are afraid of it for some foolish reason. In some sections, through co-operation of health authorities and manufactuers, the use of iodized salt. In place of ordin ary salt, has brought to a con siderable portion of the popu lation at least some of the Iodine they need. Qir.STTOSS AND ANSWERS Climate. Son. 14.

It la pleasant to report after a couple of days pajaed in careful dls cuwion with leaders of business here to New York, no tarns of growth of any substantial body of such opinion are to be discovered in th financial district. Aa yet, espt In certain Isolated Instance, eastern blf busi ness has nrt bsen Infected by the imtdloua 1ahfulthlrJttnt which someone haa called "ths disease of democracies." It must be admitted that the mat-rt- for the frowth of an appeparse ment opinion undoubtedly tittle Since patterns repeat themselves, tht cannot seem surprising to anyone rsmlliar with the almost Idiotic com piaoency with which the great men of Knd.sh and French finance and industry accepted the plainly fraud ulent promises of the slick Df Hjal mar Hortv-e Orey tchacht.

Montssu Norman And a decent farmer wild hardly be likely to bun- a gold brick stained with the blood of freedom -lorlng men, which Norman eaerl did. But In Bew Tork. the men of com parable standing with Norman are preol-slT the ones whoe opinions seem to be most r.fht. m-?t parrt oti and most firmly held. Members of tha house of J P. Morgan and Company and Its off-shoot. Morgan, atanley and Company, are atiu prob ably tho most Influential leaden of opinion on Wall street. For fear of demoegogle attacka of the Gerald P. Nye brand, the men of the Morgan group have kept very much to them selves ever sin re tha war broke out. even volunteering In the edrtoe to British representatives here thst the old form of purchasing agency ought not to be revived, and that allied purchasing ought to be put In the hands of a public commission. But to anyone who knowa their thoughta at all, It la fantastic to suppose that these men will ever succumb to ap peasement'a eaay doctrines. The Morgan Influence extenda through a large sector of American industry. Perhaps even more im portant from an Industrial stand point, and almost equslly command ing the street, la tha Influence of the so-called "Rockefeller group", made up of John D. RockefeUer, wlnthrop W. Aldrlch of the Chase bsnk, and the beada of allied lntereets. The stand of the Rockefellelr grouP ta qutto aa atrong aa that the of the Morgan group. These examples should suffice to ahow that If then really representative men are the one to be feared, the fear need not be very great. Tet to repeat, the matrix for the growth of an appeasement opinion doea not exist. Certain Isolated In dividual, particularly men with heavy business commitments In gen eral or In the axis group of European statea, appear to be atronly Inclined In an appepasement direction. The head of an oil company which hola a monopoly In one of the fascist na tlona, and will now lose money by the administrations oil embargo, has made no secret of his desire for what is euphemlstlcaalty refrerred to aa a "realistic" or "business-like" ap proach. The chief of the oversesa department of one of the big motor companies talks appeasement ao en thusiastically thst his fellow execu tives, who hold ' atrongly-oppposed views, commonly refer to him aa "our own fifth column." Others might be named. These men who hsve virtually come Into the open are extremely rars. however. What la much more disquieting la the reasonably friendly reception In certain tmporant Wall street quarters of the Qerman com mercial counselor. Oerhard Westrlck. Weetrlck hsa established himself tn New York handsomely. Because he represented msny American firms In Berlin during the erea of the "20's," he haa numerous old acquaintances here He haa met some sharp re buffs, which only the thickness of his kind of hide 'could take. But at the earn time, a great many busi ness men and bankers have been wining to meet and talk with him. "Juat to see what he haa to ssy." Several banks. Including one or two of fair standing, have given him broad-room luncheons, and he Is ac tually rumored to have formed a rather tntlmata connection with the only crowd in Wall atreet wqhlcl boasta closeness to the new deal. The line or gooda Westrlck sells la the same old line of gooda peddled In Schacht. The nazt regime la not so bad aa It seems. The dlsplcable Htmmler disappears aa though by a conjurlna; trick. The wise men of the army are made to seem more im portant. The labor "reforms" are made much of. And so It goes. Pos sibly this line of goods will ftnd an eventual market. Certainly among the Isolationists powerful political sources of appeasement Infection also exist. There Is no reason to be alarmed, but the danser must 1e watchfully guarded against.

Day S: By Frank Jenkina THE battle of Britain is devel oping with air attacks of hourly increasing intensity. From Switzerland come rumors of German orders regarding the railroads crossing conquered France that may hint of final preparations for the long-expected attack. The chances are fairly good that existing American boredom with the war news won't last long. HONGKONG reports say that China has unconditionally rejected Japanese overtures to stop the war and conclude a settlement that would be large ly at the expense of other na tions' interests in Eastern Asia. While praising the stubborn courage of the British, save a little admiration for the stub born Chinese. 1 ELEVEN prominent British " business men are seized by the Japs in raids in five Japan ese cities. The seizure is for "undisclosed reasons." The Bri tish charge that it is partly as a result of German ' pressure. The Japs say it is because of British spying. The truth, undoubtedly. Is that it is part of the process of tightening Japan's grip on the Far East. Japan's program of conquest is Just as definite as Hitler s. TTHE U. S. treasury is shipping five billion dollars worth of gold to Fort Knox, Kentucky, to be placed in underground vaults for safe keeping. The shipment goes by mail, and the postage will be about $1,000, 000. The treasury department pays it. The postoffice department gets it. The principle is the same as if you took a dollar out of your pants pocket and put it into your vest pocket. INCIDENTALLY, the reason 1 the gold has to be shipped to Fort Knox is that it is coming from Europe so fast $400,000, 000 in one week that the vaults In New York are getting crowded beyond capacity. tJITLER'S minister of econo- mics boasted the other day that Uncle Sam's great gold hoard (now around 80T. of the world's monetary supply) will be useless after the war. Is he right? Professor Oliver M. W. Spra gue, of Harvard, probably the worlds leading gold authority, says that although there will probably be temporary disloca tions after the war gold over the long pull will CONTINUE to perform its usual monetary pur pose because over the thousands of years men have been doing business with each other gold has proved to be the MOST SATISFACTORY MONEY avail able.

June payments, reflecting a rise In industrial activity as well as a seasonal gain In divi dend and interest disbursements, reached $6,202,000,000. This was $551,000,000 more than in May.
