Uncle Sam has replaced Great Britain as the largest investor in the future of the Dominion. . Investments in Canada by the United States are varied to include every de- velopment in the Dominion. The $3,- 500,000,000 amount that is sunk in Canada by American interests repre+ sents not only industrial plants and the sites of natural resources, such as bonds. plants and fac- tories are the outward indications of this growth of American investment in the Dominion. There are, according tol official United States Department of Commerce statistics, 524 branch plants of industries operating in .

Car Industries Benefit. Yet another important reason is the tariff preferences enjoyed by manu- facturers in the Dominion. Canada has ‘agreements with the other parts of the British Empire, which mean that goods manufactured in m of the newsprint industry, and big | mines Canada receive a lower scale of dutles | than those coming in direct from the United States. The automobile and accessory industries are examples of | industries which especially benefit from these treaties, not only with the other parts of the empire, but also with some of the other 43 countries with which the Dominion has preferential tariffs. | ‘The need for large quantities of raw | materials has resulted in the establish- | ment by American capital of. huge pulp | and paper, waterpower and mining con- cerns in the more remote parts of the | Dominion. Asbestos, aluminum, cop- per. nickel, pulpwood are the main re- sources which are being developed by | huge Ameriéan concerns in the Cana- |dian hinterland. Canadian government statistics show that the pulp, paper and lumber in- terests controlled by American capital amount to $485,389,000. Similarly it shows that $515,000,000 is invested in mining and metal industries, “These figures include the vast timber hold- in the hinterland where the raw material is mined, States and Canada.

RAMSAY MACDONALD—HAS HE SACRIFICED HIS FUTURE FOR HIS COUNTRY? BY C. PATRICK THOMPSON. S a result of recent events a good many political riddles await so- Jution in England. Easily the most intriguing personal riddle is that of Ramsay MacDonald. On the face of it, he has put his horse at the stone-wall jump of the national emergency ministry and has found him- self sitting on the other side with & brace of stirrups but no mount. But that is only a still picture from the comedy drama which is essentially & film action. What happens to our hero & reel of two later? Is he finished? Will his mount come halfway to meet him? Wil he recross the wall and, in any case, if he does will his mount let him get up again? Will he find a new mount? Will one of the other two riders in this peculiar race offer to take him aboard, and if so, will he accept? It is very intriguing ana essentially Bu?‘équmy intriguing is the psycho- | logical riddle of the man himself.

He was easily the best hated man in England then, and he didn’t care & damn. His friends shunned him. The party he | is] bad led ostracized him and refused to report his doings in its official organ. Desiring to cross over to Stockholm to attend the International Socialist Peace Congress, he was unable to find a ship’s | crew that would handle any boat in which he set his unpatriotic foot.

DEAN OF MINISTERS PASSES| AMID POLITICAL STORMS Count Bethlen Quits Central Europe Stage Unnoticed After Long Struggle. BY FRANK H. SIMONDS. HE atress and storm of recent financial and economic crises- in Europe have almost totally ob- scured the passing of the dean of continental prime ministers, | Count Stephen Bethlen, one of the | most striking and considerable figures in the history of Central Europe since the close of the war. Similarly, it has permitted to pass unnoticed the arrival of a successor, Count Julius Karolyl, certainly a unique personality in con- temporary continental politics. Of Bethlen it may be sald with justice that he has ggktr player in post-war history. Not cause he is addicted to the American game, but because in his politics he has employed all the arts and science of that pastime.
