Bth.—ln the House of Commons today, Sivr Harry Brittain cali- ed attention to to the recently published statistics of the Canadian trade year ending March 31st, and asked whether they did not show that imports from the United States exceeded thcse from the United Kingdom by fourfold and wheth- er the overseas trade departments were taking steps to assist British exp rters to obtain a larger share of this highly important market. Sir Phillip Lloyd- Greame, Parliamentary Secretary for Trad:, replied that the facts were sub- stantial and that aciive steps were being taken by the Trade Department. With- in the last few months His Majesty’s Trade Commisioners from Toroato and Winnipeg had toured the United Kirg- dom and interviewed oyer 700 firms and .he chief subject of discussion had been the possibility of meeting the competi- tion of American firms. The Trade Com- missioner at Winnipeg had brought from Canada a representative range of sam ples, and catalogues of American made gonds whieh ware selling in large quanti ties in western Canada and which there was good reason to believe could be equally we!l supplied from this country. An exhibition of these samples with in- formation given by the Trade Coinmis- sioner on prices and methods of market- ing, had created a great deal of interest and from the views expressed by many marufacturers and merchants, Sir Phillip Lloyd-Greame hoped and expected that considerable business would result. Sir Harry Brittain asked whether the De- partment of overseas trade was able to put exporters in touch with the right class of agents throughout Canada, to which Sir Phillip replied in the affirma- tive and adding ‘‘we already nave done 80 in number of cases’’. He understood a number of contracts has been made in the last few weeks. & Paris, Aug. 9th.—The Allied Supreme Council decided today not to send rein- forecements for the Allied troops in Up- per Silesia.

Mice and chipmunks are helping to re-establish the forests of Oregon and Washington, according to the officials of the Forest Service, United States. Stud- ies made by J. V. Hofmann, Director of the Wind River Forest Experiment Station at Stabler, Wash., have shown that a large part of the young fir growth com- ing in on burned or logged areas in these States is not wholly due to send- ing by occasional trees which are left but in part to seed buried by small ro- dents beneath the duff of the forest floor. In the West mice and other rodents are usually condemned as workers of evil in the forest. They often do con- siderable damage to food supplies, and their appetite for pine and fir seed is chiefly responsible for the abandonment of attempts to reforest burned-over and waste areas by direct seeding methods. Sometimes, however the work of these little animals is beneficial. —Everyday Life. Canada and the United States are en- gaged in finishing an extradition treaty making wife desertion an extradictable offence.
