In discussing the trade relation
ship botw eon the United States
aud Canada, the Canadian mlnistor
cf finacco William Thomas White
haj given some Interesting thoughts
coupled with some interesting fig
ures. Krom his remarks thiuklng
1-eoplo will deduct the reasoning
that the two countries must become
more closely cemented as the years
One of the (acts of his spoech
was to tb?j effect that 140,143 im
migrants entered Canada from the
United States last year and that
they brought into the Dominion
jl+O.OOO.OOO. Here might be found
an opportunity to enter a great
loss for the United Slates and a
8reat profit for Canada. But the
minister did not stop with this. He
slowed how the importations from
tbo United States Into Canada dur
ing the fame period had Increased
by more than $105,000,000, while
tae exports into tbo United States
from Canada had Increased more
than $4 1.000,000. Ho referred to
trade figures to show that during
tn<- past sis years Importations
from tao United States Into Canada
had more than doubled. As against
ta.s, hj was ouly able to show, to
bo sure, that in the same time Can
adian exports to the United States
had Increased by only 50 percent,
but wita great clear-sightedness he
quickly pointed out that the Immlgr
tlon Into Canada from the United
States, whith tho incidental trans
fer of $140,000,000 of American
working capital, to say nothing of
Amerlcau Industry and skill, more
than compensated for the failure of
Canada to make as good a showing
;.s the l niteU States in the commer
cial trai. suctions between the two
Commenting on the above, the
Christian Science Monitor of Boston
?ays:
"It la not necessary to become
sontimental In dealing with the
growing intimacy of trade relation
ship between tho United States and 1
the Domluion In ordor to bring for
ward the point that what benefits
or hurts tho ono hereafter - must
bnflt or hurt tho other. No polit
ical or economic or geographical
lines can be drawn or maintained
that will prevent tho ebb and flow ot
commercial sympathy across them.
Specifically, Canada may gain whoro
the United States loses, and vice
versa; gtncrally, trade relationship
Is bound to bo as closo between tho
two countries as it is between Que
bec and Manitoba, or between Mass
achusetts and Illinois. Each coun
try will reflect the other's prosper
ity, as each must share in tho oth
er's adversity."
A new puzzle has arisen which
tnroatens to overshadow In lntorest
tho much discussed ago of Ann.
If you are a young man of twenty
one, head of an aristocratic family,
possessor of town and country os
tites, ocoan going yatchs ? about 40
automobiles ? and an assured dally
lucomo of ten thousand dollars,
which was likely to incroase with
yars, what would you do? What ca
reer would you follow?
This is the problem which young
Vincent .Nstor has to solve. Ho is
so rich that It Is worrying him half
sick over what to do with the mon
ey. In fact he Is so rich that he
can't go to college any moro. When
his father died he was a freshman
at Harvard, but had to quit and
tako charge ot his vast estate.
Now what would you do?
The Doily Alaskan would like to
hwe Its readers send in answers to
the problem. Tell us what you
would do with a hundred million
The Minimum \V?(? Question.
Tho question of a minimum wage for
girl worker* Is one tbat Is just now
perplexing tbe country. "Social re
formers'* are declaring that the low
wages of women are the primary cause
of Immorality and that the Orst step
In checking It must come in bringing
economic Independence to tbe girls In
business employments.
Tbe difficulty Is In ascertaining Just
what wage will bring about this much
to be desired condition of affairs. One
student of sociology has it that on a
wage of $9 a week a girl may live de
cently and bonestly. Others put the
figure as high as $12. But. whatever
tbe truth may be. In Its last analysis
It must resolve Itself Into a question of
individual character.
Two or three years ago there was
published a book entitled "One Way
Out" by an anonymous author, whlcb
purported to give tbe experiences of a
young married man. a clerk, who lost
his position and. being unable to se
cure another, decided to start at the
bottom as a day laborer and work his
way up if possible.
The lntcrvsting part of tbo story Ilea
In tbe fact that In the work he found
he received $9 a week, and the book
goes Into great detail to show how on
these wages be supported his wife and
young son In comfort but not In lux
ury. Tbe wife Is represented as a
paragon of prudence and economy, and
specimen menus are given, with the
price paid for tbe food, to show how
she accomplished this fent In house
keeping. The young man was Intelli
gent and ambitious and before long
succeeded In earning better wages, but
the point Is emphasized that If one Is
willing to forego much that we are ac
customed to look upon as necessary,
but that is really unessential, any
healthy young American can forge bis
way ahead by manual work. Just as
millions of Immigrants are doing.
If the book Is a veritable leaf from
life, as It claims to be. It Is an Interest
ing commentary on tho question of a
minimum wage on which a young wo
man can lire and be assured of respect
ability. Here were three who found
life good even upon their meager $9
weekly, and, while, of course. It would
be a gratifying condition of affairs If
every self supporting woman could re
ceive this amount or more, it is ridic
ulous to assert that her morality is
threatened if she has to Ure on less.
Poverty. cannot break down, charac
ter Id a resolute porson. anil IT women
who oiuiit auataln themselves look to
some other means than those Dearest at
Land the; can find a way out, just as
this young man did.
