The provisions of the treaty of Versailles but a ingestion Point for a it May said or. Chamberlain a starting real recovery in the european situation Sines the meeting of the Council of the league at which rest Britain s refusal to accept the peace protocol was definitely declared there have been further developments. Or. Chamberlain statement to parliament thus summarized Germany s pro was anticipated in some quarters. Palestine is a mandated territory for the control of which great Bri Tain is responsible under the league of the machinery government is designed to give each of the three elements in the Popula Tion moslem Arab jew and Chris Tian its due proportion of influence. The arabs however have refused to have anything to do with the government since the Balfour proclamation setting Forth its terms favored the establishment in pales Tine of a National Home for the jew ish people although at that time it was expressly stipulated that the rights and privileges of the non jews roust be preserved. Perhaps this University with Jerusalem at its feet and beyond the dead sea the Valley of the Jor Dan and the mountains of almost under the Shadow Moab of its Wall s the holy places of three Groat world religions Down centuries looking one that finally Way lose Josas to enter into a treaty of Mutual guarantee of her i she offers to enter into a treaty 01 Mutual resent Western fion Tler with Hie Powers France Belgium great Britain and Talv and offers in this treaty to guarantee the full Lent of "42 and 43 of the treaty of Versailles. Germany also offers to enter into a general treaty of arbitration pc rain he same Powers and a similar treaty of arbitration with other rowers having a common Frontier with her. This would particularly apply o Poland and Czechoslovakia on Germany s Eastern Frontier. "3 Germany is prepared in Sny she renounces the idea of recourse to War to Chance the frontiers in the East but she is not prepared to say n regard to these frontiers that she renounces Hope of some Day to modify some of their provisions by Friendly negotiations by diplomatic procedure or by the Good offices of the league of nations " clauses 42 and 43 of the treaty of Versailles to which Ger Cany thus pledges her adhesion forbid Germany from maintaining constructing fortifications West of the Rhine or along the astern Bank of the Shine within 50 Kilometres of the River. The feet of the German proposition is to give prance and Belgium guarantees they require for their Eastern boundaries Ger Many accepts these As final. With respect to her Eastern Boun thei selves in desert Sands looking the other Way up the years where science leads this University May have some True Vord to speak to the Weting of the East and West the past and the present. Aries Germany is not prepared to give a similar guarantee but country the anti dumping clause the Dominion government Lias the anti dumping clause which they proposed to substitute for the provisions in the customs . The existing clause provides that in ease of articles exported to Canada of a class or kind made or produced in if the Export or actual Selling Price to an importer in Canada be less than the fair Market value of the same article when sold for Home consumption in the usual and Ordinary course in the Canada there shall in addition to the duties otherwise established be levied collected and paid on such article on its importation into can Ada a special duty or dumping duty equal to the difference be tween the Selling Price of the article for Export and the fair Market value thereof for Home consumption and such special duty or dumping duty Ine undertakes not to go to War in an attempt to change these boundaries hoping instead to secure modifications by Friendly negotiations by diplomatic procedure or by the Good offices of the league of this is definite but polite refusal to accept As final the Terri orial adjustments made by the treaty of Versailles. The pro Ocol it must be borne in mind stereotyped the status quo and round All signatory nation to go to War with nations not to levied collected no it. The failure of great Britain to sign the protocol was due o the refusal of British opinion to accept the Versailles settlement Ijas final and worthy of being maintained at the Cost of great Britain s participation in a european War. The German proposal is not acceptable to France and it is still less acceptable to Poland and Czecho Slovakia. They want heir boundaries guaranteed by the protocol or by special treaties. Whether since it has become quite evident that the protocol in the form in which it was submitted will never be ratified these nations will Coli Sinue their resistance to the treaty of Mutual guarantee proposed by Germany to be entered into it is Sug Dent that someone wanted the on such article although it is not otherwise the change proposed was to substitute the words the value thereof for customs entry for the present definition of value for the purpose of levying duty. 1 what did the change imply it has been claimed that the words in their practical meaning leave unchanged the basis upon which duty is levied. Why then the attempt to replace s. Perfectly Clear Defini Tion by one not so Clear it is Evi tested by great Britain prance Belgium Germany Czecho Slovakia and Poland to the Point of destroying the proposition nay be doubted. There is conclusive evidence that the makers of the peace treaty did not regard its terms As sacrosanct and unalterable. The proof of this is to be found in the covering letter m. Clemenceau acting on behalf of the Allied and associated Powers addressed to Germany when he sent a copy of the treaty to the German delegates prior to the signing of the treaty at Versailles. That letter contains the following statement the Allied and associated Powers believe that the treaty is not Only a just settlement of the great War but that it provides a basis upon Rel cd the Peoples of Europe can live together in Friendship and Equality and the same time it creates the machinery of peaceful adjustment of Sll International problems by discussion and consent whereby the Settle ment of 1919 itself can be modified from time to time to suit new facts and new conditions As they arise " a seven nation pact of the kind suggested might give to Europe a sufi Anent sense of Security to permit the Healing processes of peace to operate. No real Progress will be said or. C Haberla in in his statement to parliament " until we can somehow relieve these oppressive fears that haunt the waking and sleeping thoughts of the statesmen of Many countries and give that measure of Security and of stability to Europe As she is now constituted upon which All Progress in human affairs All recovery of National life and All commercial and economic Security must depend " but it would be Idle to expect in any event the Early carrying out of this plan. Both the French and German nationalists will certainly offer opposition to it As it cuts across heir cherished programmes. The proposed arrangement As or. Chamberlain told the British parliament is As yet Cebu Ous. Nevertheless there is Here a great idea which May yet Supply a solution for Europe s most obstinate problem. Hebrew University in Palestine april 1 the universities of the orld will be augmented by the addition of the hebrew University will today be dedicated upon the mount of olives. The Earl of Balfour will deliver the principal address and there will be representatives governments and of the of scholarship. Professor Al Bert of the theory of rela Fame or. Chaim Weizmann president of the world zionist move ment Brandes of Copenh lord Allenby High commissioner oi1 Egypt and 11. Rappard permanent Secretary of the Man dates commission of the league of nations Are registered. The University of Manitoba will be represented by or. Guthrie Perry Twenty five years ago the idea of tails University was first mooted As 8 world Centra of jewish culture a i Public Finice of whose Brilliant intellectual artistic gifts there is no ques of. The Corner Stone was Laid in -51s while As yet the world War oiled to its terrific Climax. It is University of Edinburgh who de signed the Graceful buildings. The University stands at the head of a Complete system of hebrew education comprising 120 schools from kindergartens up which the Palestine foundation fund has established in Palestine. Hebrew is the sole language instruction. Because there is not at present an adequate student body or an Ade quate number of youths upon which to draw for a student body the University will devote itself largely to Post graduate research and in this connection the biological and chem ical departments As Well at the Agri cultural Experiment station Are Al ready functioning. As an adjunct to the University a Library has been started already numbering volumes valuable collections having been donated by the governments of France Italy and Czecho Slovakia the British museum the new York Library and sir Herbert Samuel British High commissioner in Palestine. The Fly in the is the Atti tude of the Arab population Al though hostile demonstrations have professor Patrick Geddes of the not been at All on the scale which change and he wanted it for some particular purpose. Perhaps it was intended to give the department of customs Power arbitrarily to deter mine the value of an imported Arti Cle for the purpose of levying the anti dumping duty. Conceivably the minister of customs suggested Tia change. This is the second time that an ineffective attempt to change the anti dumping clause has been made by the government. The first at tempt two Yeai s ago upon analysis was found to lean indirect method of boosting the Tariff. What the second proposal Means is not Clear but the government has decided that it is not to be gone on with. It might be suggested to the government that it would be much bet Ter to suppress these projects for tampering with the anti dumping clause in Council where the proceedings Are secret instead of hav ing to kill them in parliament after they have attracted so much hostility As to make this action impera Tive. Parliamentary procedure is a funny thing at times at least it leads to unusual situations. It has. Of course been built up on Cen Turies of precedent adapted no doubt As the need of the times indicated. Perhaps in the Early Days of porn talents Thorp was t much procedure about them which is Why there is now much of the cast about the rules. Possibly the custom for example prevalent in the British House of sitting with a hat on came from the Days when it necessary to Wear a Casque lest an opposition member might feel inclined to take a with his Bat j tie axe if the government argument in process displeased him. Doubt less the custom of addressing or. Speaker came from the Days when it was Only possible to restrain the emotions by not addressing the individual whose argument one was opposing. We Are moved to these recondite speculations As a result of listening to some of the goings on of tuesday. The first thing that intrigued us was the spectacle of or. Nell Cam Eron of Minnedosa telling or. Speaker in the person of Pete Tal Bot All about what happened to the Farmers packing company. Now if there is one person in the wide world who knows just what struck that moribund institution it is or. Speaker. Still due to what happened in the time of Edward 3rd, or someone similar it was necessary for or. Cameron solemnly to state his opinions in this manner. He could t have said As he Ito doubt Felt look Here sir. Norris this Resolution of yours is political there is nothing mysterious about Pete s company it merely Cost too much to organize and the declining prices of live Stock left it with a lot of Clear bellies and Long Cut hams on hand bought Over the Market which it did t have nothing like that. So we had let a formal address to the chair and or Norris formally replying that it was time something was done to Stop the people of Mani Toba from being trimmed out of a million dollars by High powered salesmen and or. Craig formally reciting just what the government had found had been done by their predecessors in the matter of Clos ing up the office of the Public utilities commissioner. Then with this out of the Way. And the House solemnly resolving have the children taught about the physio Orieal effects of alcohol after. M. Berner had Given some biblical illustrations As to what happened in those pastoral Days we moved on to cushions and draperies and Venice is not without fleas. All Public gondolas Are of the same feet As i recall same Black color and the same Model. This was All settled a few centuries ago when the govern ment passed a standardization Law to put a Stop to rivalry in. Embellish ment that Vas leading to extravagance. In return for the hereditary monopoly the gondoliers Are required to maintain ferry service at certain Points Day and night and must also have boats on duty at designated stations. The ferry fee is about one fifth of a cent and that won t pay for the grease in the oar lock. The Boatmen therefore take turns As ferryman each serving once a week for a Twenty four hour stretch Doz ing Between trips. The fee for regu Lar passenger service being fixed by Law the gondolier charges As much As he thinks he can collect in which he revives memories of the old time dry land Hack Driver. A. Those were Tho Happy with a crowd of Hack Drivers and then arguing with a policeman and always in variably not getting even second Money. If you still feel that you have a lot of surplus Energy you can find no better outlet than in a fare discussion with the owner of a gon Dola. The medical Outlook too Many professionals. From Saskatoon Star one sometimes hears it asserted that there is an Over production of professional men in Western can Ada. Speakers at conventions Rise to Point out that our universities Are turning out too Many lawyers Doc tors and engineers who fail to establish practices and emigrate. Others think it regrettable that Many farm boys who go to the cities for education instead of returning 1.0 the country enter professional courses at the colleges. How do these statements jibe with the fact that Many country Points in this and neighbouring provinces Lack professional men a Saskatchewan country weekly the bin i Mort Enterprise prints an editorial in its current Issue entitled wanted from which it appears that Dinsmore lacks a medical narc to Toner although the Dinsmore Board of Trade has tried to secure one. This town is by no Means in this respect. The fact of the matter is not that there is an Over production of professionals but that they concentrate n the cities or failing to get a. Foot ing there prefer emigration to ser vice in the smaller towns. Mistaken about russians. From Jie Chicago Tribune another mistake americans make is in thinking of russians As euro Pean Whites. Peter the great made them take off their beards and shorten their Slee ves but he could not change their color. They Are Asia tics and a bad Asiatic Type with despotism and cruelty As a Creed. Birthday congratulations to the Correct Date of birth of his holiness pops Pius xi., included yesterday under this heading is May 30, not March 31. De. Lanigan. Sask., born adar Stone n o r t Cumberland april 1, 1s43. Procedure. This All Anent what happened last Friday afternoon and evening. A House cannot he said through two stages of voting Money at one sitting. This again no doubt a relic of the Days when monarchs used to come Down and demand a. Hand out for a. War or a new Palace or one of their lady friends or some other object or subject. Or. Taylor very concise about it All much about about what happened at Ottawa in 1ss3 and what it implied if the ruling of or. Speaker is Correct. The have of. Course not by any Means heard the last of this the adjournment of the debate being moved by the attorney general. All of which does not sound much like something attempted some thing none the less the two big resolutions did get off the order paper the one aforesaid by or. Bay. Ley about teaching the effects of1 alcohol with All references by messes. Ivens and Queen about changing the social order first deleted and the Ono about taxing and provincial government lands. The government amendment to this carried after or. Taylor s protest that it was taking away Moi a rights from municipalities. So we ars getting a Little nearer the end. Say about thursday of next week. Just in time to let the get Home for Baster and to at a recent meeting of the life insurance presidents of the United states an address was delivered giving information supported by Statis tics a to the Conquest of diseases by modern Medicine. Among the Dis eases once regarded As a menace but now conquered or at least with their dangers Cut in half were mentioned smallpox diphtheria typhoid lever consumption and diabetes. Or. Charles Mayo in a comment upon this subject stated that the average life of Man which was forty years in 1s50, has been lengthened to fifty eight but he. Added this length ening of life has had a decided effect on the growing prevalence of cancer. However research offered a he a of future Success in combating this disease. Goitre he said was also on the increase due to the circumstances that agriculture and Ero Sion were gradually exhausting the Supply of iodine in the soil. The speaker before the insurance men also gave figures on the death rate in the United states by us iced homicide and automobile accidents the Only ones to show an increase in rate Over 1923." figures Are Given also in this connection for i Britain and these in each Case Are much below those of the states. As a commentary upon this the address of or. Alexis Carrell. Nobel prize Winner and surgeon of. The Rockefeller Institute new York does not make for cheerfulness. He con ceded the great advances of prevent Tive Medicine but argued that this Advance has been counteracted by new diseases particularly of a. Men Al nature. According to him the Turc of mental disease is almost mysterious As it was during the Tiddle Ages. Cerebral he said is the embryonic stage. We Are stir Niraly ignorant of the properties of Erve cells the nature of nervous Energy the significance of Tele lithic Phenomena. No one. Suspects he in which memory Intel gence courage judgment and the imagination Are connected with the rain it is a Paradox that in All the and Ance made by the sheer brain Ower of Man in every direction and notably this last Century in science hat he should not have entered upon a. Serious study of this Preat Force within himself. Perhaps though the Eason for this negligence is not Al Prether that his scientific courage ailed before such a task. It May Lave to do with the fact that medi Cine has come to from the Infanta. Ions of the Medicine Man and the Lack magic of the Middle Ages and n its fierce reaction has been car ried too far the other Way. Then too it is the last Century hat has seen the growth of grf Lal Ity populations and with this growth the increase in such a Mark id degree of nerve and mental Dis ases. Signs Are not lacking that the brain of Man has begun its assault unon the mystery of that brain and hat the new plane of knowledge will Lave to do with mental life. Accord ing to or. Carrell there is much need for this study of the Dos sales of the nerves and mind which May cause our civilization to Crum ble Are Cranine rapidly and the development of a new psychology is our Only Hope of improving the qual to of human breaking with the past boys procedure Many thou a Sands of years before Edward 1st was Ever thought of.

Spaulding professor of philosophy at Prince Ion in the Walls of the past in he april Scribner s Magazine it s a scheme of things in which the new is produced.

But now i find How dear thou Wert to me that Man is More than half of nature s treasurer of that fair Beauty which no Eye can see. Of that Sweet music which no ear can measure and now the sing up others pleasure Australia and her ships in the discussion about the Peter sen contract much is being heard about Australia s announced willing Ness to sell tier merchant feet. Just Bear Rig this decision by the australian government has on the proposed Canadian Enterprise is not very apparent but critics of the Petersen contract the London papers especially seem to think that in ome Way it supplies a Knock out argument. It is desirable therefore that the facts about the action which the australian government proposes to take should be made known. The australian government it is important to note is Only prepared to sell the ships upon conditions. These Deal with the maintenance of the australian Trade routes the prohibition of exploitation the pub Lic in the matters of fares and freights and of the purchaser join ing any clix or or Combine. The australian government proposes to have a relationship towards the company somewhat similar to that which the Canadian government will hold to wards the Petersen company except that the consideration will take the form not of a subsidy but of a Low Selling Price. The London times is very much put out by this third condition that the buyer should not enter into any arrangement with a shipping ring or the times in its comments says the word Combine being very freely used toy those who Are critical of shipping economics Anci different shades of meaning Are attached to it while ring is also sometimes still employed when it is desired to refer disparagingly to in any Case it. Would seem on the strength of the information present available that for one reason or another any of the lines at present engaged in the australian Trade would be precluded by this stipulation from bidding for the Fleet. That of course would distinctly narrow tile Choice Between possible candidates for the owner it is thus evident that Australia does not propose to turn her ships Over to the Combine. When the australian government made the announcement of its willingness to sell its ships or. Bruce said we Are Selling the. Ships to suit Australia not to oblige possible Pur chasers. If no acceptable tenders Are received we must again Endeavor to run the line profitably As a government concern but our present in Tention is that Australia shall have the Benefit of its services without being saddled with the work of run Ning the the True explanation of the de Aston to sell appears to be the Ham ering conditions which australian Abor has imposed upon the opera Ion of the ships. Not of course hat labor is opposed to the Commonwealth owning ships. Ave imposed working conditions i hich have been a severe Handicap and they have been Puli no strikes As a Means of apply ing pressure to. The government. The australian correspondent of the Man Hester guardian says the shipping Board attributed i failure of the line to High rom Ling costs As compared with compete nor lines labor troubles and the in Muhab Allty of the character of the on nag. But the real treason is thai to Industrial unions concerned have slowly strangled the Enterprise through Petty Nigg lungs squabbles and so strict a demand for the letter the Law As to make efficiency impossible. One need refer to no better example of this than the recent wide y quoted instance1 when the sea men s Union demanded one and a half ales overtime when any of its Mem Bers should be called on to clip a hip s Ensign As a Salute on. A Sun the australian merchant service alld in an official statement describes the decision As the result of rhe madness of the seamen s Union and the worst Poss we thing that could happen to australian labor it adds that the line never had a fair but was chosen for Ion of or. s most preposterous nostrums. Australian Cable despatches say Are dismayed by the government s decision Trade says the times Sydney correspondent regard it a a. Consequence of the Seaman s irritating the australian government s idea is apparently that a privately owned company can get along with Lati or better than it can. It is by no Means certain that the australian line will foe sold. The Seaman s Union have been making overtures to Premier Bruce with an offer of no strikes and better treat ment if the Commonwealth retains the ships. The question has got into politics. Or. Hughes ext Premier has made it the occasion for a pub Lio attack upon or. Bruce. The Syd. Ney correspondent of the times in a recent Cable said Tion. If anything the policy of the australian Gore rement which is to exercise a measure of control through a private company supports the pet Ersen project to which the Canadian government has committed itself. More Romance ahead we have no hesitation in stating that the tax rate in Winnipeg will be reduced 25 per cent next year that the Dominion government will be Able to Reform the civil and that the statesmen of Canada Are going to be Able to produce a. Policy that will be received with tremendous enthusiasm and the most Complete Harmony both in Eastern and Western Canada. Us see now what Day is this from the Xci Tork Herald Tribune it is comforting to open the news paper and discover the mysterious secrets that the chemists Are finding n the atom Day by Day and that the pre historians Are digging out Fossil animals and ruined cities. It is reas Suring because science Days makes discoveries at such an Hor endows rate that one becomes alarmed lest there be nothing new for our children to discover. There is no dark Blotch left on the map to Mark the unknown heart of Africa both poles Lave been tagged and Everest Allut conquered the Black Fox has ceased to be a rare Freak of the Forest and la bred by the thousand on Prince Edward Island the desolate Alaska barrens have become feeding grounds or vast herds of carefully tended Reindeer. The old frontiers Are fading the unknown is disappearing Romance is a thing of the past. So it must have seemed to the bored old men who a their castles 300 years ago listen no to tales of the settlement of America of the rounding of the world of the lost magic of the Story that if sailors sailed far enough they would come to the dropping off place and disappear. So it seemed a generation ago when the first transcontinental Railroad buckled the Atlantic sugar Are now being made in the a Young Bandit in new York has been run Down by the police and it has been found that he is the son of a banker. Heredity sometimes tells. One of these Days come in from the someone has started a report will country that to Speed plow which after All is much More important than the speeding of tha Tongue at either Winnipeg or Ottawa. The Ontario and Quebec news papers report that Maple syrup and o the Pacific Ocean. So Many a and thinks when he discovers that be has grown up too late to realize his ambitions of Indian adventures. Then comes some scientist and finds new worlds to conquer. Some of our cautious readers have complained of William Beebe that he is not the discoverer of the Bottom of the Ocean and that the Sargasso sea had been explored before. Such com plaints will go to the. Waste Heap where lie the Learned essays proving that Columbus did not discover America or Morse invent the Tele j graph. Columbus when he returned to Europe told the world of his discoveries in such terms that it could not forget Leit Ericson s adventures were forgotten. If Beebe makes the delicate sponge forms and the weird monster of the Ocean floor seem As plausible to readers a a Butterfly or a Rhinoceros he will have a right to the credit for it even though scientific journals Long ago printed de tailed descriptions of most of his specimens. I there Are always new worlds to conquer and there always will be. Our scientists boasted magnificently of their Success in predicting the eclipse but no one of them foretold the Earth tremor that Shook new Tork. With the Aid of muscle Shoals we can make nitrate out of the air but we cannot yet store the vast surplus of solar heat that goes to waste each summer or harness the mighty Power of the tides. We do not even know what lies on the other Side of the Moon much less what forms of life May revel in the orbits of the Distant stars. We have tramped All Over the thin crust of the Earth but we have Only begun. To read a two beneath its surface the record of our ancestors struggling to explore the path toward what we have come to Call civilization. In sailing barks and steamships and Oil Burn ing diesel vessels we have covered thousands of Miles of the sea s sur face and one is just Awakening to the fact that a mile or two beneath the familiar Waves live creatures of which we know virtually nothing. More Romance lies ahead there less danger indeed of the world los ing Romance than of its having no one to paint the colors of scientific adventure so that he who runs May read. Aesthetic value for the gondolas have the Hills Slep on in eternity. There Are signs of a possible combination Thi tween or. Hughes and of the. Country party which is most hostile Bruce. , would be practical polities if. The seamen could be induced to offer some guarantees which while unacceptable to the government might be publicly represented As acceptable or. Bruce s antagonists would then proceed with the Campaign against him As the Man who destroyed the a inducers Protection against private snipping demands that being the common Way of describing the Commonwealth line. By. Those support ing its these facts make it pretty Plain that there is no parallel Between the Canadian and the australian Situa bugs or sentiment. The Boston transcript a Little while ago great Brita a barred the importation of american potatoes on account of the supposed menace of the potato Bug und now America s department of agriculture has barred the importation of the Shamrock from Ireland hither for reason. The potato Case however was purely a matter of Commerce while the Case of the shamrocks sent to Boston by rela Tives or friends in Ireland to Grace St. Patrick s Day festivities is matter of ancient and still vital sentiment. The Romance of Irish tradition weighs but Little when com pared with the possible menace of introducing bugs or any form of Plant disease into our Happy ind healthy land. Doubtless this is As it should be of late years we have become very scientific and. Bug Wise not Only As to visible bugs but also with regard to those which Are yielding up their St crets to our bacteriologist. Senti ment must take a Back seat. But it must be acknowledged that the Romance of Ireland has fallen upon evil Days. Is it that As her political estate becomes happier her sentimental decline is this returning of the Shamrock a sort of Omen is a new and Prosper Ous and prosaic Ireland to supplant forever the Ireland known to woe and to song you have to know How from the Calgary Herald a Manitoba Farmer bought 22 head of feeder steers ten months ago.

The truth prob ably is that the Manitoba Farmer won out in a bad cattle year because he knew How to buy in the first place and How to feed and finish cattle in the second place.
