A despatch from London ‘The Genoa parley prevented another I neighborsfl European war and laid the foundation i for an agreement of the powers with. Russia. These were the results claim- ed for the conference by Premier, Lloyd George in his speech in the House of Commons on Thursday night, . when he reviewed the work of the Genoa meeting. The Premier’s address was a matter of fact statement and devoid of startl- ing revelations. Much interest wasi lost in it when the Premier announced 3 that he was reserving any statement, on relations with France and on thel subject of German reparations until‘ a later occasion. Lloyd George insisted that when, the conference was opened Europe, was threatened with a real war danâ€"l ger. He stated that the Red army, now numbers 450,000 men, and that| since the beginning of the year there: has been a considerable increase in: the forces massed on the Polish 'andi Bessara-bian frontiers. I “That is why we concluded the trucei whereby thirtyâ€"four nations have‘, l l l l l says:â€"- of any act of aggression against their ' said the Premier. “We hope it will prove to be a permanent peace pact.” Defending the British proposals for recognition of the Soviets, he em- phasised the danger of leaving Rus- sia to her fate, and described the Russoâ€"Geriitan pact as one cf the sin- ister possibilities. “The treaty between Germany and Russia is a portent," the Premier declared. “You can disarm Germany and render her perfectly impotent, but you cannot prevent the reaming of Russia if these nations are driven to despair. “Germany cannot re-equip econ- omically because she cannot get the capital, but that is not the case with armaments, where one country has every natural resource and the other every technical skill." The Premier regretted that the Rus- sian delegates took the attitude they did, while under the Bolshevik rule thousands of their people are dying of pestilence and famine. He said he hoped for further goodwill and co- solemnly undertaken not to be guilty? operation at The Hague. Farmers Oppose Sinn Fein in Elections A despatch from_ Dublin says: -â€" The Irish Farmers' Union, it is announced, will contest seats in nearly all the constituencies in opposition to the Sinn Fein. As the 3‘Rateâ€" payersiand Labor parties have i made similar announcements, the Sinn Fein delegation to London will be able to tell' Winston Churchill that the election is free to all. TheI farmer vote is all important in i the agricultural areas of thel country, but the majority ofl farmers are expected to vote Sinn Fein. The Farmers' Union, which will secure at the utmost eight seats, mostly favors the treaty. o BRITISH ARTISAnS To COME TO CANADA L1arge Immigration Probable on Removal of Restrictions. A despatch from London says:â€"AI considerable increase ‘in the movement of British artisans to Canada is ex- pected as a result of the relaxationf of the Dominion’s immigration regu- lations. The orders-in-Council having arrived from Canada, the Dominion immigration offices here issued to the steamship agencies copies of the modified regulations. They show that cabled reports to the British pressl were incorrect, and that the changes are infinitely more far-reaching than- reported. The removal of all occupaâ€"! tional restrictions .for British subjectsl is regarded here as the most import-1 ant change of all. In the past, the‘ immigration of the artisan class was; allowed only where such labor wasl unobtainable in Canada. Now any workman may enter if he has enough: funds to sustain himself until he se-i cures employment. With industrial:- conditions what they are in Great Bri-l tain, it is thought that many Willi | avail themselves of the opportunity, of seeking to better their conditions by going to Canada. .____._°.._..- CANTEEN ACCOLTNTS !

Ottawa, May 28.â€",Cahlaida is still importing more from the United Stales than she is exporting to that country and still exporting more to Great Britain than she is importing thence, according to the latest trade returns published by the Dominion Bureau Statistics. These figures cover the twelve months ending with April. During that period Canada imâ€" ported from the Uni-ted Kingdom goods valued at $111,375,000 and ex- ported goods valued at $294,555,000 to that market, while imports from the United States were $507,406,000, a-s comparedwith exports of $286,- 430,000. As the total foreign trade has been falling rapidly, there is a falling off in all these items, bue the export trade to Great Britain is holding up much better than exports to the United States or than imports from that country. The decline in the exports to the Uni-ted Kingdom for the twelve- month period ending April, as com- pared with the figure for year ending April, 1921, was only about eighteen million dollars, While Canadian ex- ports to the United States fell off more than $25,000,000 for the same periods. In imports, the falling off from the United Kingdom, was a little less than one hundred million, while from the United 'States the decline was over three hundred million. ’ o ,.____..

Every farmer may secure up to 50 lbs. of sunfloWer and corn seed, or part of each up to that total. The scarcity of feed last winter is likely to lead to larger numbers of the farmers going in for silage this sunl- mer, especially in View of the proved value of the trench silo.

Farming in the devastated regions, Mr. Dennis Hates. is being done in a more scientific manner than before the , war, one reason for this being the fact that much of the reclamation work has been done under the direction of American engineers and agricultulu ists, and in such a manner as to per- mit of the operatioh of tractors and Ctl‘lrl‘ up-toâ€"(late farm machinery. o , ,__ _,,‘..A British Banks Furnish Reparation Installment x A despatch from Copenhagen sayszâ€"The Ekstrabladet learns that negotiations between representatives of German and English bankers have resulted in Germany obtaining mean: for paying the reparations instalmen! due at the end of May.
