Britain s Tho speech from Tho throne it the open los of the British parliament on contained matter of great significance at this juncture. This the official announcement of Tho of the King s advisors an authoritative review of the situation a Well a of Tho policies to be adopted within the British Isles. Its references to the Progress of the peace conference to Tho acceptance of Tho league of rations by that body and to the closer relationships of great Britain and the United states will go far to dissipate the mists of uncertainty and to dissolve Tho atmosphere of which had begun to con real the essential Unity of the entente in regard to the major issues of Nar and peace. The King s intimation that Britain soil the United states will act to Gether in Tho future. In close agree ment upon the necessity for an 3ffectlve league of nations. In which lies the Only Hope of saving Man kind from recurrence of the Scourge of War constitutes a declaration of i reign policy of a foreign policy infinitely More enlightened and at the Samo time More powerful than any which has previously existed. An informal Alliance Between the nations composing the British con federation and the United states of America to guarantee the effective Ness of the International conventions emanating from the league of nations places behind Tho new inter rational Council the naval military and economic potentialities which must ensure their general Observance. Another illuminating paragraph in the King s speech is that which Speaks of the persevering enforce ment of the armistice. Here May he seen a hint of the passive Lomnic Liou opposed by Germany to Tho fulfilment of the conditions accepted by its on the Arma commission. The allies have had to persevere in the enforcement of these which will not Conduce to any relaxation of the terms of the peace which will be imposed on Germany. Perhaps Tho most significant sen tence in the whole speech however u that dealing with Tho labor Situa Tion. Tho world has. So to speak More compact its inhabitants have been drawn closer together by the March of science. Once widely separated in time Ami space now immediately and profoundly affected by one another s political and Industrial developments. Inter change of ideas and co ordination of action Between Tho same classes and interests in Independent states have become As potent forces As were formerly the treaties entered into by Uiel governments. Nowhere h this More clearly seen than in the world wide demand for Tho improvement of the conditions of labor and living for the masses of their populations the British government Conte Impo runt measures com with housing the Public. Plates corned lie Alth inn settlement it my Agri cultural training. But in regard to the Industrial situation there a some uncertainty in King s speech. The terms of the that the gifts of n Urstain upon labor everywhere it la to to hoped that some constructive proposals for the removal of the differences Between workers employers will be advanced. And the mental Hygiene Hoard. It is not so much that a time of stress actually gives Rise to new problems of that problems which Travo existed for decades Are thrown into bolder Relief so that they Chal Lenge attention and solution. Tho inst four years have shown Many such not confined to any one Field of human experience but distributed with Nice impartiality throughout All. Tho human race has had an unrivalled Opportunity to see itself go by and if in Homo particulars the Parade Boa been discouraging Thero Lias Boen enough encouragement to justify any attempt towards improve ment in any Field. In particular the demand for the Bol torment of the conditions affect ing physical and mental health has become imperative since these he at Tho foundation of All subsequent Progress. Last Spring Canada established a National committee on mental Hygiene. Now there Are plans afoot to organize an International committee comprising representatives from Canada and the United states. Previous to the War the world of medical science was but groping towards the relation be tween mental and physical health and social science was but groping towards the connection Between these two and Tho social diseases of pauperism criminality and depend ence. Experience in War hospitals and experience in the management and fitting out of great armies has Given tremendous impetus to re search Long these lines Tho very positive results of which May now be turned to account for the solution of the problems of peace. Canada s committee has already proven its Worth in Tho one depart ment of the treatment of the insane in Tho army. The United states brings its quota also of knowledge born of War conditions. In All such Clent Lutc Progress will be a dire Handicap to National advancement. Tho new countries those least heavily burdened with expensive machinery already growing antiquated will have an inestimable advantage. But signs Are not wanting that this advantage May to offset by inability to foresee future requirements or to break away from prejudiced notions in regard novelties which Havo come to stay. Another revolution in transportation is imminent though doubtless there will be numerous mrs. ten tons to oppose its irresistible Onward sweep with futile obstinacy. Ciid3imixg up with Maks. Or. Marconi is suggesting wireless dispatches to the planets especially to Mars. Of course he has started something for the Earth people Are determined to break into Martian society whether the folks there de sire their acquaintance or not or. Marconi is therefore being offered All sorts of advice As to the form this communication should take. It is interesting to note that among these the simple device so favored by communicants with the twentieth plane of having the conversations in English hag been Over looked. The gentleman himself suggests mathematics a the medium but theve Are those who feel that to wireless the somewhat Broil dec statement that two four would hot be trouble involved. Mars might signal Back what of or As it might be for years and it might be for considerably longer that the message was on the Way the result would seem to scarcely justify Tho commotion that would attend its journey. And there Are those who insist albeit to the horror of mathematicians that there might be a state of society where two and two did not make four but made five or three. Mara might be like that. If such a controversy got started then indeed would to a pretty state of another scientist who considers and two make Worth All the Many and varied resolutions passed at Gress at Saskatoon matters this continent is one what jjgurc3 deadly at Best would prefer our neighbor does or leaves undone Gen dog up or Over pictures for j example of the human face.
