Thers can tveryvone recurrence worid n through an experience which calls for the put- ting forth of every effort th there shall be no such great racrifice o life and destruction of property | again as the nations have suffered. A determined effort in that direction being made by the mov 2 league of nations, Su taking carrios with it a wide térest and int sympathy, highly desirable nevertheless when such a step is taken fth #hould be eo well done that it fully cover the ground and not the job half done.

OUR TRADE WITH CANADA. ‘When we are giving attention to the development of foreign {radc we are inclined to think of that which s carried on with countries outside: of North America, but it Iz well to re- alize that while we are dealing heav- Ny with European countries our sec- ond hest customer is our neighbor te tee north, Canada Canada is engaged in the produc- tion of much that is produced in this epuntry but it cannot set along with- out a large amount of outside goods and it is quite natural in view of the way in which the two countries join that there should be & big trade be- een them.

That we are a good customer of Canada is also shown by the figures for practically a quarter of its exports Curing the period of the war of $4 620,000,000, came to the T'nited States. These figures are enligshtening but in view of the location of the two coun- tries it would indeed be surprising if this close trade relation were not so. BUILDING SCHOOLHOUSES. In connection with the need of| meeting the unemplovment situation | and getting back to a normal hasis as fast as possible the suggestion has| heen made by P. P. Claxton, United Statés commissioner of education, to the effect that schoolhouses should be built, and in relation thereto he points out that previous te eur entrance into the war we were spending in this country a hundred million dollars a year on new schoolhouses, a sum equal to what we have just appropri- ated for the relief of distressed and starving people in Turope, but that|| even then the outlay was mot in| keeping with the needs. Tha progress that was being made was not in| ceeping with what was considered necessary to make the conditions what | they should be. The war has had a serious effect | upon work.

OTHER VIEW POINTS The fixing of May 13 as the time for the commission on the in- vestigation of the municipal affairs of Bridgeport to make its repert does not jencourage ihz hope that the session of 1919 will be brought to a close at an earlier date than tha: at which its predecessor of 1917 finished its busi- ness. Of course it_does not follow that he report of the commis n will be delayed until May 15, but thé fixing of that date makes the delay possihle. —Hartford Times.
