Herriot Breaks the news the speech that had to be made sooner or later to the French blvd has now been made by Premier Herriot. The French a5scm have been the victims Ever since the War of an. Illusion every prime minister in succession has fostered until her faced by consequences that could no longer be avoided has t his courage in his hands and has told them the cold hard 18ti they May rend him in their anger but being an Intelli Toni w0ple with a sense of realism in affairs they will thank Kim any rate whatever May be the immediate political Eon it is not probable that their support can be obtained i future for policies based upon a refusal to recognize facts. M Harriot stood up in the Tribune and in a scene approach pandemonium owing to the High feeling Between the parties i the the a and the left told the deputies and the country that present financial with which the government is trying Cope by innovations of a highly alarming the editable outcome of the financial policies which had been by the various French governments since the War. The Jive rears of peace said m. Herriot had Cost France More in Money Han the five years of War. There had been lavish borrowing year Vear at High rates of interest burdening the budget. All said m. Herriot were based upon the idea that. Would pay but Germany began to pay Only under the i tical in after j Loans the illusion that has misled France almost to her ruin was the expectation by the masses that the reparations claim against Germany was a thoroughly sound National asset upon the strength of which the country could finance. Hence the vast internal Bor for All kinds of rebuilding the ruined districts for extensive Public works for maintenance of the largest standing army in the world for the building of a great submarine Fleet for the construction of a vast air Fleet. All this borrowed Money poured out i profusion has created of appear i hit Prosperity which has so impressed every visitor to France. The contrast Between the depressed conditions in great Britain and the humming Prosperity of France has been very noticeable and from it a Good Many highly fallacious deductions have been drawn. Governments can induce artificial Prosperity for a time by an undue use of credit with which there always goes currency inflation but there always comes a Day of reckoning. It appears to have arrived for France. Among the desperate expedients Ivsich the government proposes to resort to Are an inflation of currency and a forced perpetual loan by which ten cent of the capital wealth of the country will be taken by the government at a Low interest rate. 3r k the responsibility for France s plight goes Back to the treaty makers. With their absurd ideas about the extent of the reparations obtainable from Germany. Of course it is astonishing that he highly intelligent French people should Ever have been taken in by this fairy Story of the prospective collection of 52 per cent. Indemnity first placed at some 50 billion dollars and after wards reduced to 32 billion dollars but it is easy to believe what it is one s interest to believe and besides were they not assured by the supermen who made the treaty that these amounts were due and would be forthcoming two thirds of the Post War troubles of Europe would have been avoided if the makers of the treaty had dealt honestly with the matter of reparations in the Light of the advice Given them by their experts. But they regarded this As a political not a financial question and they fixed reparations on the basis As Lloyd George has since admitted of what Germany should pay without any regard to what could be extracted from that country. The Large amounts were put in to make the people of the Allied Good. The French who were the Only people to take these Large figures seriously have Iliad five years of financial and political intoxication on the strength of the Prospect but the cold Gray Dawn of the morning. After the night before appears to have arrived. Work and the results which followed with the journal s disparagement of the Grain inquiry very clearly that it has taken an absurdly extremist position in regard to Royal commis Sions. The Ralston commission s report led to the appointment of a soldiers adviser in each District throughout the Dominion to the appointing of an Appeal Board for pension cases and to other important changes in connection with the treatment sex service men it greatly helped to Clear up a Situa Tion against which there had been serious complaints by the veterans organizations. There is no question that the great majority of the pub Lic believe1 that the appointing that commission was quite justified by results. The free press does not pretend to justify All the commissions that have been appointed. They Are More numerous in Canada than in great Britain. One reason May be that parliamentary inquiries Here Are More Apt to develop into parti san controversies than in England while a commission is supposed to be a Means of securing an Independent inquiry. And another reason May be that Canadian Cabinet ministers are1 loaded up with the details of departmental work while British ministers Are much Freer. While commissions should not be Aji pointed too freely it is nonsense to argue that they should never be appointed. This powder and paint business is Only in its infancy in fact the sur face has scarcely been scratched. A High class criminal named Chap Man has been sentenced to hang la the United states. Est provided they hang him. This is of inter really intend to the vital Factor in Forest Protection with the approach of a new season in the Woods comes again tie fire peril that is represented by the burning of two Mil lion acres of Forest every year including oae million of Young growth which Means Accord to bean Howe of the faculty of forestry of Toronto University that several Hundred years will be required for the Complete rehabilitation or the destroyed areas. The forests Are a great source of a tonal wealth they Are part of fee capital endowment of this coun that capital is being sadly and wasted through the continued carelessness that allows West fires to get started. Insect which do Grout damage 1o the ores is can be controlled by the use the proper methods. Fire Profio measures have also been con rally improved. In Manitoba Dominion authorities ure Mak to creasing use of Tho air service work and fire fighting Jetts. But the greatest protective ensure that could be applied would sworn determination of lumbermen prospectors and others to leave no Opportunity for the beginning of a rest fire. On them is the respond saving this country from serious consequences that Are re to follow the continued Burn 5 up of Tho forests. If they but he this will mean higher 1 of building Homes a employ la industries which depend on. Re to and other unfavourable surely they will feel their ability and take every pos precaution.

To produce the average saw log it would be necessary. To Plant seven or eight seedlings and it is probable that a tree 150 years old had originally or More Brothers and Sisters which perished. At the present time the average age of Trees being Cut for pulpwood is so years and a ,.pine saw log 100 Vears or More so it is obvious that the Rule of a tree for a tree is Falla he also says that in areas rela near the Market we Are now approaching a depletion of the Best adapted for mechanical Pur poses. There should be no misunderstanding and no minimizing of the danger to the forests. It is a mat Ter of serious concern to the whole population. Clinging to an extreme View the Ottawa journal is obsessed with the idea thai practically All Royal commissions represent a sheer waste of Public and in a moment of irresponsibility it recently placed in this category the commission which lately made an exhaustive inquiry into the Grain Trade. The free press took Occa Sion to indicate that this was serious , but the journal seems displeased that anyone1 should Controvert its views. It has returned to the subject of the commissions several times giving the Cost of various commissions which it re Gards As unnecessary and it openly invites the free press to Ponder its weighty arguments. With every desire to be agreeable and to give full consideration to the views of others we regret to say that the journal s views on this subject Are not at All convincing. For instance it says was it Worth to have the Ralston commission report upon the re establishment of soldiers Long after we had re established hotter than in most countries what did this commission achieve what did it the Ralston commission was certainly one that was Worth while one of these Days some sort settlement will be reported from the Coal d ields of Capo Breton and then everything will appear passable until the next Row starts by about six months hence. Evolution is a race. Man is the runner. Man started from a Monkey. To should go Back and ask for a new Start. A weather Prophet says there will be no More severe frosts this season. Let us Hope so. But then provi Dence goes to work and sometimes changes the weather without consulting the weather prophets. The in memorial notices in the newspapers this season when comes around again the anniversaries heroic engagements by the Canadian soldiers in France and Flanders speak to the nation from the hearts of the Kin Folk of. Those Gallant sons and husbands and fathers who gave their lives great Ideal. Their memory is a precious heritage to this nation. In the lives of those who saw them March out the names of those who have passed Oil live in a. Deeply Graven remembrance. N Manitoba has a Crow Bounty As a result of legislation just passed. The Crow however has plenty of opposition in trying to pick up a living on the Farmer s Fields. Not so Long agro everybody became excited if wheat jumped three cents a Bushel. Nowadays it takes a ten cent move to work up any excite ment. If there is any Chance of getting a fair sized building Boom under Way in Manitoba this Spring anyone who goes around trying to stir up a strike or a lockout should be Given a quiet talking to by sensible men of both the employer and employed classes. 1c folks persist in wringing the neck of the Goose that lays. The Golden i the old Bird will certainly flit elsewhere. There arc reports coun try that the hired men have taken to wearing those new and stylish baggy trousers. A correspondent at Stonewall writes to say that last saturday night his hired Man walked into town and had to sit around the Barber shop half an hour wailing for the. End of his pants to arrive.
