A HARD WINTER
Conditions in Canada "A .... Writing from Guelph, Ontario. Canada, on May 13, Mr. H. Westoley, who was in New Zealand with the last team of Canadian bowlers, said : “We have had a terrible winter — seven mouths of sub-zero weather, the worst recorded since 1785, it is said; and so far we have had no spring. In the United States the financial picture seems again blurred. Roosevelt admits that the gold inflation is a ‘flop.’ and his National Recovery Act is now derided. It is known as ‘Nuts. Raisins, and Applesauce’ (N.R.A.). The stock markets are falling again, and are at the lowest level for 1934, so that the future is doubtful. \ “We have a provincial election here in June. It is generally expected that there will be a turn-over. The present Government is Conservative. Business over here is spotty. It was showing signs of recovery, but the relapse in the States has again upset us. During the winter it is said that 55,009 families in Montreal were on relief —about half the population of the largest Canadian city. Much the same conditions have ruled all over Canada.”
