CANADIAN SOLDIERS SETTLED ON FARMS; PROVIDED WITH LOANS

CHICAGO, Jan. 2. Twenty-seven thousand Canadian soldiers have been settled on farms by the Canadian government and $85,000,000 have been loaned to these men by their government, according to a letter sent to the Horse Association of America here by John Barnett, chairman of the soldiers' f ettlement board of Canada. "Aggregated roughly this means that we have placed a population of 125,000 people on these lands,'" he said. "Our settlers have been settled partly on free Crown lands and partly on lands purchased by this board and resold to him. In no case has a settler been required to possess more than $500. We have, therefore, ad vanced practically the full purchase price of the lands we have bought, and in addition have advanced ip to $3,000 for permanent improvements, fuch as buildings, fencing, etc., and stock and equipment. "The risk is necessarily great, but has been taken largely as a re-establishment venture. Great Results "We have been in operation over three years, and the national results are already very great. Some 600,000 acres that were previously raw and entirely uncultivated have been brought under cultivation. Iast year soldier settlers produced field crops worth easily $15,000,000. to which must be added the value of the increase in stock and the value of poultry and dairy products. "Out of the $S5,000,0O0 already expended, $10,000,000 has been returned to the public treasury. Of due payments more than 90 per cent was paid. , Thus far the number of men who have abandoned their efforts repre sents per cent of our aggregate settlement. In the cases of abandonment, and despite the collapse in markets, we have salvaged and foreclosed more than 500 cases representing an investment of more than $2,000,000 without any financial loss." IMPERIALISM CHARGE RESENTED BY FRENCH; DUPLICITY IS DENIED (By .Associated Press) PARIS, Jan. 2 Members of the

French delegation should have lost no forcement Flying Squadron, will give time in giving their views of theL . ... . tlltt Wrct

American plan for limitation of naval armaments, it was declared by newspapers here today. "Pertinax,", political editor of the Echo de Paris, resented with indignant charges of imperialism and militarism against France, and referred bitterly to the conduct of England. "Obviously the American program implied," he declared, "that all navies should be of the same type, and that the same ratio fixed for capital ships , should apply to small units and sub

marines. Without waiting, we should have asserted our right to a navy built according to other conceptions. We postponed such action, contenting ourselves to answering present questions, and taking every opportunity to flatter our trans-Atlantic friends, who were accepting everything given them at its face value. "They were afterward astonished to find how our ideas were full of tucks jand folds. Our leaders made the same mistake in 1919 in dealing with President Wilson, and were similarly accused of duplicity." Journal More Bitter St. Brice in the Journal was more i bitter in his demand. I "England won a magnificent game.'' he asserted, "and has succeeded in realizing a European hegemony such as no nation ever has known, and has

1 thrown on France the suspicion

of!

! Imperialism." Alluding to the plan outlined by Sec-

retary Hughes at the Washington con

! ference, St. Brice remarked

"It is a i

1 joke to present it as a reaction against j militarism, as the Hughes program I simply results economically in the I domination of the world by three great powers. France, with a colonial population of 70,000.000, must have an ? adequate navy to defend sea routes. I A navy is an essential condition to I freedom, and would threaten only I those who would wish to strike at f that freedom."

Wall street views the passing of 1921 with few regrets, but looks hopefully to the future, although realizing that the newyear will put the country to even a greater test of its resources and stability. Leaders of industry and finance emphasize their belief that return to normal conditions can not be accomplished until everybody settles down to earnest work, economy and saving For. the most, part, however, those who hold the purse strings and control the country's important industrial enterprises, believe that the United States is destined to grow as a world power. Depend on America. This belief is largely founded on the fact that Europe is leaning more heavily upon this market. All foreign nations, it is pointed out, look to the United States as almost the only market . for the capital needed to effect the rehabilitation of the old world. The latest case in point is the Dutch government, which only yesterdayawarded $40,000,000, or 40 per cent of a new loan to our bankers, the proceeds to be used in its far eastern colonies. Forecasts of general business conditions in 1922 are unusually difficult, in the opinion of conservative observers, because of the many uncertainties, which beset the era of readjustment and reconstruction.
