The inquiry into Ocean rates special committee of parliament to which the Petersen tract has been referred has Laid Down the general lines of the on which it proposes to make. It does not intend to charges that May have been made but rather to turn the it f inquiry upon the whole North Atlantic shipping business i s the information of parliament and the people. A limitation investigation to a testing of the verbal accuracy of or. N s report and to the probabilities of the effectiveness of contract would be not to take advantage of an Unity to get All the information that is available about the Atlantic transportation facilities and charges and their affect upon Canadian Trade. The purity of the motives behind the organization of the conference and the Justice and reasonableness of y to acts have been loudly proclaimed. The steamship lines resented in the conference should therefore make no difficulty twin All the information in its Possession at the disposal of for instance All the records of the meetings of l conference at which rates were fixed and sailing arrangements to if the conference is the useful Public spirited business organization that it advertises itself As being it should make no difficulty about putting the full record of its activities and Deci in the hands of the committee. It is True that the lawyers to appeared before the committee at its organization meeting lid not take this attitude. They acted like the defence lawyers a a criminal trial displaying a disposition to stand on technicalities and put difficulties in the Way of the inquiry. But in the ten class that will lapse before the committee begins the taking of they can overhaul their tactics and decide to co operate with the counsel for the government and with the committee. Obstructive tactics May keep needed information from the com Mittee but they will do the North Atlantic conference no Good since they will be interpreted by the Public As a confession that the charges made against it Are soundly based. The Public will he pleased if the committee takes the Opportunity of throwing the spotlight on the mystery of the Canadian government Marine. The people would like to know whether these ships Are quite As useless As they Are constantly represented As whenever it has been proposed that these ships be put to some specified use the invariable answer has been that unfortunately the ships were not built for this particular line of traffic. Thus two seasons ago when the need for ships to break the Bine s cattle rates was acute lit was declared that the Canadian government ships could Only be employed in a very limited Way since the ships had not been built for carrying cattle and could not be re fitted for this purpose. The policy of the management of the government Marine might also be very properly a subject for investigation. It is known that the government ships have been kept ofe the regular shipping routes and have been employed in is in developing new routes. This appears to be a polite Way of saying that the ships were kept off the routes i hero there was some Chance to make Money and put at transportation tasks that no privately owned shipping company would attempt. A full inquiry into the capacity of the government Marine and the policy upon which it is administered is much to be desired. If the ships Are no As a Cabinet minister declared in the debate on the Petersen this is the time to have this fact established. It will be found we predict that Thile the boats Are by no Means what they ought to be consider ing what they Cost they Are capable of giving valuable service As an auxiliary to a thoroughly equipped steamship line in an attempt to Supply transportation facilities on the Atlantic at reasonable rates. It is understood that when the Petersen line begins business the government ships will operate in co operation nth it. Between them they will give a service which in Prospect is plainly very alarming to the Combine. The special parliamentary committee is Well equipped to make a thorough inquiry. Its personnel has been carefully selected and it has As chairman a. K. Mcmaster who was chair Man of the special agricultural committee two years ago which made a vigorous report on North Atlantic shipping rates follow ing an investigation of considerable scope. . Mcmaster will have the Benefit of tvs experience in directing this much More elaborate inquiry. The government has also placed at the disposal of the committee the services of h. J. Symington k.c., a selection that could not be bettered. The prospects Are there fore Good that the committee will obtain and place before Parlia ment Ami the. Country All the relevant facts about the operations of the North Atlantic conference. Newspapers from publish ing the details of crime and devoted. Their space to uplifting phases of human conduct there would tie a great reduction in crime. Would there one doubts it human nature and human morals Are both deeper than the newspaper columns and to pre suppose that a Hange of policy on the part of the newspapers in their methods of lews publishing would bring about vast change in the life of the nation in a few months is pre supposing a Little too much. The newspapers no doubt must shoulder a share of the environment that pre disposes the individual toward crime but it. Is but a Small part. There Are a score of other factors hat have a More vital bearing on the situation. A Good Hunch is hat if the United states courts of ustice were working the Way they should the crime wave would Stop breaking through into whitecaps. A stiff and sure prison term is one of he most effective ways of handling a certain Type of criminal the Typ i in fact that is most common in the United just now. It is hardly air to hold the newspapers responsible for tie condition of the United states courts. . Skelton s appointment the resignation of sir Joseph Ope As Kjuder Secretary for external affair s and the appointment professor d. D. Skelton of Queen s University As his successor s an event of considerable importance in government circles at of sir Joseph was an outstand Tell Veteran in the civil service he entered almost half a Century ago. He also made a per contribution to Canadian l writings by his life of 31r John a. whom had served As private Secretary. Professor Skelton has been head i tha political science department of Queen s University for Many years has also been a close student of Saffian history and of the developments of recent years affecting status of this country. He has Oenea the author of a number of dealing chiefly with Canadian it his most important recent being the life and letters sir Wilfrid readers of free press will also remember of articles by or. Skelon four years ago containing his on an extended visit to Jsu Britain and various countries Europe studying Post War Coundi rfcs. More recently he a com Premier King and the Canata delegation to the last Imperial in London in 1923 in capacity of special advisor and Focas also served in the same parity at meetings of the Assem of Tho league of nations. Skill ii has thus had a Good Deal of preparation for the duties of under Secretary for. External affairs and it is Well that he has for the work of the department is bound to increase in volume Anc importance As Canada assumes All the responsibilities resulting from the full nationhood to which she has attained. The under secretan of state for external affairs does not sit in parliament As is the Case in England. He is a Deputy minis Ter but it is a highly important Post since the prime minister who acts As minister of external affairs is loaded with other onerous duties and must place a Good Deal of de on the under Secretary. Canadians will take More interest in this department when they real ize that it is developing from a Branch of the prime minister s office dealing largely with our re lations with great Britain and the other dominions into a department of foreign affairs dealing with Al the world sometimes in conjunction with the rest of the British Commonwealth and sometimes on our own. And by the same Token it behoves canadians to take a greater interest in foreign affairs so that there May be an informed Public opinion on matters which will arise affecting our foreign re lations. Newspapers and crime the newspapers of the United states Are being blamed for the crime wave. A gentleman writes a letter to a Chicago newspaper Point ing out that if for three months the. Vimy maybe what is required is. Not More Daylight saving but a Little More saving of the night. A one of the steamship companies has Given up its chinese boat Busi Ness on account of the operations of chinese pirates. A lot of persons will have a laugh Over this. A Berlin report says Russia is going in for trial marriages but in there anything remarkably new about that and so another steamship com Pany is willing to make a similar Deal to the Petersen contract. First thing we know the Combine will be coming around and asking for a sub Sidy and thei Petersen terms.

Ever heard of but with the outcome of that eventful Day styled two hemispheres realized that history forever would link the Ridge of Vimy with Canadian sol Diers for they had captured it at the assault on april eight years ago was easter monday let there was not anything accidental about up to its reverberation in the great War no other incident Lead been less incidental. It was a performance that had been carefully planned and rehearsed in detail for months. It was not any single episode not a piece by itself but a richly hued tile a splendid mosaic patterned by the British forces. Toward the end of Many of the troops that had been engaged in the arduous and Slimy Campaign of the Somme Battles wore withdrawn into More inactive areas. The canadians came North from around Albert where the Golden Virgin leaned outward from Llie Cathedral Tower arid passing slightly to the Northwest of Arras Whire the shattered Cathedral had Ries before been built by the Span ish camped around Mont St. Eos. From their front line trenches he land sloped to a slight height not alone dominated their own Tir rain but held the View across the Plain to the East and North that Cix tended from the. Mining area of Luna to the railway Junction at Adonai. That Rise in the land was puny Ridge. Because it was practically the most advanced Point in a Sali int the germans had forged for selves from Arras to Lens after withdrawing from South in the Sommo they had designed it As impregnable to be defended at All costs. It was As the times correspondent said one of the key positions in the Western theatre of where As sir Douglas Haig said a thousand Yards Advance meant More than a fifteen mile Advance in other the canadians were r dered to take it. They had been assigned a responsibility tragic propensity Tor should they fail a great British offensive must have failed. Theirs was to capture the front of from 12 to la Miles being simultaneously attacked by British forces stretching from Arras to Lens. Nothing could be left to Chance and was not. The Winter and Spring months wire spent in a state of preparation such As had not any time fore in the War. Each detail meticulously foreseen so far As human intelligence and will can up pretend in War. The four divisions of the corps were to go in end every Yard of their four mile front was apportioned. When the 221-0 hour came the definite objective each was known to every division every brigade every battalion com Pany and platoon. A gun controlled each sixteen Yards there were All kinds of guns and ammunition in superabundance. Schools bad been attended during the Winter enemy expecting to enjoy Tho comparative quietude of their Posillo behind the Labyrinthine entrench ments along the stretch harried by Trench raids Day and night night and till the canadians were their curse. In Short the Canadian corps had done everything human thought and skill could foresee when at 5.30 o clock that Bleak Gusty wet easter Mon Day morning every gun opened fire on the British front of fifteen a rfcs the noise surpassed that of the heavens themselves. As each wave of canadians advanced behind the marvellous barrage of Ork precision and gained its object Ive another wave passed Over it and sought its allocation and so on. By noon almost the entire impregnable but of the Ridge the hear of the German salient had been taken by the. Canadian corps. Only one spot where the pimple Rose to the. North of the Eidge proper stood last and the attack on it did not Disist till its reinforcing prussian Gui Iffla had been driven out next Day. The Plains of Douai Lay fair and. to. The View of the canadians who had fought their Way up the scrambled slope of the enemy shambles to watch and follow the retreating foe who May have been perplexed but had fought with indomitable born Ness. Such was the Day of Vimy such Bhe Victory. It is so easy to Tell it. Was so terrible to achieve. The Canadian corps bad Joeen evolved like some crusading army marching out from a Small Sitton whose natural detestation is via loathsome Ness. While it endured it achieved gloriously but has itself evaporated now being real on Lar in. The place it occupies in already its dismembered units Are hallowed in associations the Resus citation of none of which is coveted unless it be the Gallant spirit of valiant comradeship the finest qual Ity bred of the War. The corps feats in arms have been recorded acclaimed but those who performed them either have marched ahead or been absorbed into the. Uniformity of civil life. But in the. Record itself nothing has been suggested or been divulged that has detracted Ever so remotely from. The., renown of the corps valorous conduct that easter tide. Canada will be said the King in the succeeding army orders. Canada is proud but not elated. The Pride of those who a d Vance beneath the covering canopy of that crashing turbulence of hell fire is bound with humility. If. They rejoice they also mourn. And their prayer this Day ascends in the silent Toast to those who. Died on Vimy Ridge. May. Those they left be comforted shielded. " i to hum. It s All Over bar the shouting. This afternoon some time the cannons will Roar. And. The ses Sion will pass into limbo. And about time too you will say. The ayes indubitably have it. To make quite sure the proceedings will Start at h . Today and All that has to be dealt with is the sub Bubs Bill when it emerges from municipal commit tee. Everything else. Was cleared off the order paper yesterday afternoon and at 5.30 it was. Called a Day. An amusing afternoon on the whole with the proper spirit. Levity appropriate to a penultimate session. There was a fair amount of Busi Ness done at that. It started out with the Oft discussed Section men i Voss taxation on Railroad exempt property caused sundry members to desire to offer Relief. The Bill was ordered not reported by the stand ing committee once was referred Back again and on this occasion again the committee declared they had not to have it reported. So the House divided on the report of the committee arid by one Lone vote 18 to 19 it was decided by the House that the must pay their taxes. A. The opposition voted for the Bill the government solidly killed it. Next we came to the Case of Bill Bayley who would introduce a couple of Bills which he wanted read a second time on. Good Friday in other words not this session. He admitted the fact that there we rent any actual Bills in existence. . Taylor made some caustic remarks about members looking for publicity drawing a retort about Bers not Atten lir or committee meet Ings and was that. The Bills we May mention were firstly for the. Protection of pedestrians from irresponsible motorists and secondly to restrict the number of race tracks in Manitoba. Personally we should not object to seeing a Bill introduced to protect the press gallery from irresponsible or shall it be said irrational speeches and. Per haps members might learn some thing from race tracks in the Art of Speed which by the Way. Next came the third readings and committee of the whole on the remaining Bills. There was no hold up Tyrl we came to or. Tanner and his foxes and goats. Since the Bill had been brought Down representations had. Been made to him by the Fox owners that their livelihood would be jeopardized and in View of this he thought the Bill should go to a standing committee and not to com Mittee. the whole. Prevou tale thought that it would t do anyone any Barm to let it ride till next session so the Bill died in com Mittee of the whole. . Mcgregor s land drainage Bill caused a lot of Joy. The member for Gladstone is a very stolid scotch person. Jle is terribly serious and so seeing the Bill really might have been a governor ment measure or. Bernier under took to conduct a sort of prices verbal in his Best court room Man Ner. . Mcgregor got red in the face and answered As much he said As he thought was Good for the House and Tho country to know. Then or. Barclay took a. Hand and declared the Bill which by the Way allows municipalities in drainage distal cat the right of not1 paying taxes on land reverted to them till it is sold was a. Prime essential. Next the Premier came on the scene had he been consulted about the Bill la his capacity of treasurer Well he had seen it b it had not intimated any approval. The Bill said or. Mcgregor had been drafted after consultation with the Deputy treasurer and the Law amendments officer. What did the Premier think said the tories. . Bracken to Oto out a Pencil and. Thought that perhaps if the municipal would let the municipalities hold bade their taxes it would be All right. . Barclay said emphatically it would thai Way at All. The Mem Ber for Springfield being versed in the ways of the Murat Copal commissioner. Would or. Mcgregor with draw his next asked the tories or. Mcgregor would do no such thing in once through com Mittee lie Given third Reading. Having been amended this could Only be done by unanimous consent of the House could he have that consent asked. . Mcgregor. Let him try said or speaker who is cautious about procedure and doubtless Felt that the House did not want four hours from the member for St Boniface on Errata in that respect. Amid considerable amusement it got its third Reading. And so to or. Newton on Rural credits. . Dick and King Charles head again. This time about an undertaker in Roblin who has t been paid due said the Hon. Mem Ber to the actions of that institution. . Newton of course knows All about what the Rural credits did in Roblin. Taking everything by and Large it is open to wonder whether they did or. Newton personally any real. Harm. And or. Black about his Bill which was a first class Bill lie declared. And so to the vote and the govern ment solidly behind or. Black. Lastly or. Queen on Nova Scotia miners and a Resolution unanimously put through after a few sympathetic words from the Premier asking the Federal government to help Tjiema. Out and conduct an inquiry. Thus clean ing up the order paper. If there is a Patch of Green grass on the lawns already. Winter you might say had hardly begun when the House opened. But. The time has t wasted " from the Golden books the Hope of truth by James . The Hope of truth grows stronger Day by i hear the soul of Man around me waking.
