Ten of its richest departments- had been systematically laid waste. "It is asking too much of us to demand that we should think Arst of the enemy of yesterday while we still suffer these terrible ravages, France is working. Since the last month of 1919 'ber exports have been increasing. The drst three months of this year have given wanderful results. -

The exporta have almost doubled the total of last year for the same pariod. We have nearly reached the figures of 1913. If the increase continues, and we have every ground to believe it will, we can count upon our economic situation American statistics being completely re-established. admit that during 1919, the first year of the work of re- constitution, France was second only to Great Britain Does that among the exporting European countries. mean that France can carry out this effort of reconstruc- tion alone without aid from the Allies? It would be absurd to suppase so, One of the great lessona of the war has been that the fates of all nations are linked together."

CANADA AND AMERKA

London, Mag 11.

Mr. Bonar Law continued that the new arrange- ment will not denote any departure either by the British or Canadian Government from any principle of the diplomatic unity of the British Empire. The need fut this important step had been realised by those gas- eraments for some time. There has been direct com- munication between Washington and Ottawa for some yeary but the constantly increasing importance of Cana dian interests in the United States bas made it apparent that Canada should be represented there distinctively. and it will doubtless tend to expedite negotiations by a first-hand acquaintance with Canadian conditiers and will naturally promate good understanding. In view of the peculiarly close relations which have always existed between the peoplea of Canada and the United States it is also conndently expected that the new step will have very desirable results is maintaining and strenghening friendly relations and co-operation between the Empire and the United States.

PERENNIAL YOUTH.

1900 YEARS POSSIBLE. New York, March 24-The ability of science to prolong barpan life to as many as 1.900 years was affirmed yesterday at the annual meeting of the New York Medical Society by Dr. Eugene Fisk, president of the Life Ertension Institute.

Mr. Fisk admitted that the Drospect he painted

terrible one. but be maintained that the postponement of middle and old age and'the doubling, and even brebling, of the ordinary span of life was not a fantastic idea. He based bis opinion on the suc dessful achievements of science in stretching the life of the ordinary fruit fly to 900 times its asual length, and, after observing that the turtle lives 200 years, and that the Californian redwoods Igigantic trees, a genus of conifer were practically immortal, he argued that "youth is a physical state and not a function of time.” Dr. Fisk's subject was "Pre- ventible Disesses of Adult Life.” He remarked that old age was always premature, just as death from typhoid or tuberculosis was premature. His category of con- ditions antagonistic to human life included heredity, infection, poison, fool deficency, food ex- cess, fear, grief, emotional excess, and psychic apathy due to lack of interest in life. As physical collapse was always the result of the cumulative effect of an- tagonistic conditions, he contend- ed that it was entirely possible 'I | for science to find, a means of eliminating these conditions and to perform for human beings what if already performed for the fruit fly. Dr. Fisk, however, admitted that before science succeeded in prolonging life to 1,900 years "changed conditions may abolish all if on the earth." The lecture was followed by the announcement of the establish- ment of a National Radium Bank the capital of which consists of three grammes (4634 gralox) of radium, valued at £55,000, which it proposes to lend to hospitals and physicians free of charge.
