Canada buys more from the United Unit-ed States than any other country and America, in turn, is Canada's best customer. Last year America exported goods worth $302,000,000 to Canada and Imported goods worth $231,000,000.

VyHILE the Invading Italians V V were pushing further and further fur-ther Into his realm, Emperor Halle Selassie I of Ethiopia celebrated the Emperor Haile Selassie fifth anniversary of his coronation, and he did It In fine style, too. Escorted by a throng of feudal chiefs In barbaric bar-baric attire, the king of kings and his queen passed through the streets of Addis Ababa amid wildly cheering cheer-ing thousands, and gave thanks to God in St George's ca thedral. Afterward, seated on his ivory and teakwood throne in the palace, he received the felicitations of the chieftains and the diplomatic corps. The emperor holds that the big oil concession negotiated for American Amer-ican Interests by F. M. RIckett, the English promoter, still holds good although the Americans relinquished it at the suggestion of Secretary Hull. "This concession," said Haile, "is an integral part of our national economic program. We purposely granted It to a neutral country like the United States in order to avoid political complications and international interna-tional jealousies. It is unfortunate that war must delay Its fullfilment. Through the benefits accruing to this concession we hope to raise the social level of people and provide pro-vide them with honorable remunerative remunera-tive employment. "I am sure that when our country is again at peace, and the circumstances circum-stances are propitious, all the terms of the enterprise will be carried out by the original concessionaires, who never canceled the concession, but merely withdrew temporarily at the suggestion of the State department for the worthy motive of promoting international peace." THE League of Nations set November No-vember 18 as the day on which the economic sanctions against Italy should be put into effect, and later decided that coal, iron and oil should be included in the embargo. The league appointed Premier Laval La-val of France and Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign minister, to carry on peace negotiations with Italy. Sir Samuel ttlll insisted any peace must be within the framework of the League. The Italian armies on the northern north-ern front pushed further Into Ethiopia Ethio-pia following the tanks and with bombing planes active overhead, and one column entered the city of Hau-zien Hau-zien on the way to Makale. The invaders in-vaders met with no resistance of consequence. The government at Addis Ababa announced that Italian planes had killed 30 women, 15 children chil-dren and 100 cows with bombs and Machine gun fire at Gorahel.

COVIET Russia celebrated the eighteenth anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution with a tremendous tremen-dous display of its armed strength In Moscow. Infantry, cavalry, tanks and all the other army services serv-ices marched for hours past the tomb of Lenin, where stood Joseph II. Stalin and other leaders to review re-view the long parade.
