We do not see a it should have had this effect since nobody except the apolo of its for the Combine in the conservative party and in the pro Rno ration press has placed any Reliance in the solemn Assevero the shipping companies in the Combine that they have their hands off the fixing of these rates. When this state of the conference was put Forward the comment which tie cd Poi Tion Piess was the conference As a whole did Deal with these commodities the companies which catered to fixed the rates by arrangement with the possible a caution of Grain where the Competition of the tramp Steamer is this comment was based upon the finding of the special a Factor committee which took evidence at Ottawa on the Ernie Simon of Atlantic freight rates two years ago. To Contention that the Combine kept its hands off these articular arcs was made in parliament presumably on behalf Mccular opposition by the Hon. It. H. Stevens who stated conservative position immediately after the Peterson proper Tion had been submitted to the House by or. Low minister of " Ade and Commerce. Speaking upon that occasion or. Stevens Jay i say to my honorable friends that wheat flour and cattle have never been under the conference rates. Re not controlled by this alleged Combine at All. They Fri said v Are ire excluded from it and Are free from these rates. Authority for this statement being challenged or. Stevens the statement that these rates Are not and never have been included in the conference rates. I have or. Stevens naively from shipping authorities both in Montreal and in other r. Me master who was chairman of the agricultural com hich made the investigation in 1923, replying to or. Mittee we a runs showed very clearly from the evidence produced before t time these rates were in effect controlled by the the demonstration was so Clear that or. Stevens change front and he intervened with this i that at that conference. Found it necessary to correction in that those articles were not now and have not been for some App vol by the conference rates they vere at one time because i m the fact that United states government interfered in Ani quite aware or the fact that United _. Flour so that my honorable Friend is quite ngut in regard to there is a considerable difference Between or. Stevens orig Inal statement that these rates had never been subject to control and his qualification that while formerly they had been so con they wore now not subject to control. In Point of fact Roth statements by or. Stevens were incorrect. Rates on these Omran cities have been controlled right along in the same Way that is. Not by the conference proper but by a sub committee in in Lizeh the. Lines interested in these freight rates Are represented. Control by the conference and control by this committee amount of course to precisely the same thing. To redress the unfavourable balance of Trade. As a matter of fact the Mere statistics of imports and exports in adequately portray the balance of Trade and this confusion gives unwarranted Comfort to the . Advocates of High Protection. The United states for example has Al ways sold More to great Britain than she purchased in return but the figures do not represent the enormous sums paid for the Carriage of american imports and exports to British shipping and Marine insurance companies. Neither1 does it include the balance Trade in the matter of tourist traffic. In the Case of Many Continental countries whose imports from exceed their exports to the United states their purchasing Power has been considerably rein forced not Only by american tourist travel but by the vast sums sent Home by their emigrants in the United states or actually taken Home by them. The extensive almost Universal use of the automobile multiplies the number of americans coming every summer for a Brief visit to Canada. Thousands and thousands of families who never left their Homes in the summer in bygone years except for a Brief period at some nearby resort Are now travelling every summer thousands of Miles through out their own country and also through Canada. They All spend some Money and their combined expenditure is no Little asset to the Dominion. The government through Cus Toms department should be Able to Check up pretty accurately the num Ber automobiles bringing tourists into Canada and these figures would be of interest. Just How much All the occupant. These cars Actu ally spend is problematical but the total amount decreases to considerable extent the unfavourable balance of Trade which is portrayed by totalling imports and exports Between Canada and the United states. A Reader s Vlotes books area flyer world within the world or. Edward clod contributes to the May Century some notes on Huxley. Or. Clod is now an old Man having been born in 1s40. He has been a quite considerable writer of books and of articles in the eng Lish. Reviews. Among other eminent a he has written on Meredith and or. Tiv on and his associates Are now confronted with the Huw knew though sect is not the right word. The present article is merely a vet eran s recollections of the Rell Glo scientific in the great Vic Torian Days when the giants fought it out in print and on the platform. Huxley was a boy of six years when Darwin started on the Long voyage in the and when he was Twenty he sailed As surgeon in the Rattlesnake for australian Waters that ill named frigate also on a Long voyage for the Sake of science. The four years in the South seas brought Forth an original paper which won him a Fellowship in the Royal society and his name As a biologist was made. Darwin s origin of species appeared in 1859, Huxley said that by or. Gear that these rates in place of being fixed by free Competition arc subject to control. They and their allies in t a press Are thus put in the position of having attempted to further the interests of the Combine by repeating and giving the of their authority to statements which Are not True. We do not sus rest that they deliberately made untrue statements rat is Clear however is that they were so partial to the Combine so predisposed to take the corporations Side of the Case As against so eager to put difficulties in the Way of the ing reasonable freight rates on the Atlantic for Canadian products seeking the British and european markets that they accepted without question sex Parte statements by the lobbyists of the Combine and. Put them out with their own ing to the injury of the Public interest. _ the Public interests so a government s securing professor Mavor and the Dou Kobors in response to an Appeal from the Hou Kobors in b.c., professor Mavor former head of the department of political science in Toronto Faiver sity has written a letter to 1-ie Toronto Globe in which he takes the Side of the Dou Kobors in their protest against the efforts it the government of British co Lumbia to compel them to Send heir children to the Public schools. Professor Mavor has always been interested in the Dou Kobors but is a surprising thing that he should treat lightly their refusal to obey the school Law and should courage them in their resistance. I thin the last years there has a realization upon the part of ail thoughtful canadians that every steins possible should be taken to those of foreign origin. Western provinces have the soundest of reasons for making it a -mdarnerita.1 requirement that All Meldren of school age should attend he Public schools where English is its language of instruction. Pro Fessor Mavor s attitude is a matter Elf general concern what lie says of the Dou Kobors in British Columbia be equally applicable to the or any other foreign speaking group in the Prairie pro he assumes a serious re when in effect he condemns the policy which has been in this matter with combining firmness and patience and it Points out that while the Dou Kobors base their opposition on grounds of religious conviction the late Peter yer Gin did the same at one time but when he found the government determined to enforce the school Law he withdrew his opposition. Professor Mavor has a High reputation As a scholar and a authority on certain subjects but he has the wrong perspective on this question. The Only effect which his advocacy of their Case is Likely to have is to encourage the resistance of the Dou Kobors. The Western provinces cannot afford to allow exceptions in regard to the Observance of the school Law because this would Only be an excuse for others to try to evade the Law. Western Canada contains a Large foreign speaking population and it is essential in the National interest that the younger generation at least should learn the English language and become canadians Zed which can Only be done through the Public schools. Redressing the balance of Trade the Washington papers say that six thousand canadians were in their City easter week. This May be an Over estimate but there was certainly a Large number or their presence would not have attracted attention at a time when a huge army of tourists from All Over the Union was visiting the capital the during the past Winter a great 1u Lojis tic support of Western number canadians were to be of nil the resorts in the he was ready to go to stake in support of the Book. Among notable contemporaries who were immediate converts were Hooker Bates and Lubbock afterwards Lis a the quarterly review published an article of scorching condemnation and punch wrote jokes at the expense of the new science. Darwin but Huxley sharpened beak and claws and entered the War with Joy. Or. Clod recalled the pub Lic controversy at the meeting of the British association when Huxley whispered to a companion the lord hath delivered him into my and Rose to demolish the Bishop of Oxford. Old unhappy far off Days and Battles of the sixties. Two years before his death Huxley was invited to deliver the Romanes lec Ture his subject evolution and his wife we Are told had surely made a name in literature but for the demands of a Large family. By his desire the last three lines of her poem Browning s were inscribed on Huxley s Tombstone they buried Darwin in Westminster Abbey be not afraid be waiting hearts that weep for god still liveth his beloved sleep and if an endless sleep he so and Huxley on his death bed As i remember Reading in the uttered some such Wistful words. A descendant from a Long line of clergymen writes in this number of the Magazine a most depressing article entitled the the people who know that the Public school is the Only available Agency the assimilation and absorption to the National life of the people various races who have come to Canada. The Vancouver province which Kors a moderate treatment of the of the Dou Kobors thinks nevertheless that the government found at All the resorts Southern states and probably in proportion to population Canada was More largely represented than the Northern states. It would be hard to reckon the amount of Money left behind them by these visitors to the South but it is a fair surmise that ten or Twenty times As much ill be spent in Canada this sum he continue to demand observe Mer by tourists from the United of the Law. It advises a policy states. The surplus will a much pastorate the preaching and the incessant speaking at functions All sorts Are detrimental to the soul of the minister. Such is the Burden of this clerical scion s cry. No doubt every preacher and pastor must re Sist temptations unknown to Tho Lay Man but i am sure that the pastor Al work is Nee and health to Many a minister and the writing of sermons an interesting and even Happy exor Cise. I cannot help thinking that the very worst Handicap to the ministry i i any Church is to be found in those remoter country places where the salary is too Small to keep tie Library in repair where there Are no sharpening nor stimulating minds and where the minister gradually loses mental and spiritual grip. There ouf Fht to be an adequate salary and there ought to be a sabbatical year at full salary for travel and for study. In spite All the perils enumerated the average life of the Parson is As Happy and As tranquil As any in this troubled world. The writer deprecated the emotional Drain but a healthy educated mind is not Likely to suffer from the emotions. And the Sermon with its. Relentless regularity where is comparatively no ritual what is a Sermon one of the Best preachers i. Ever heard a diffident Many once and answered the question in. A letter it is Lilko the British nations state discontent in Australia it is surprising to hear that there is state discontent in Australia with some talk of secession from the Commonwealth it has been Gener ally assumed that All the states have been satisfied with the federa Tion which took place Twenty five years ago. But the free press australian correspondent tells a differ ent Story. Writing from Sydney March 26, he says the australian Commonwealth is still in the situation of sir. Kipling s ship before tier great test at sea. Yet this Structure of ours has had nearly 25 years of existence and has weathered the world War and even so far the peace so much worse with strange strains and stresses than was the War. Victoria though she has the practical command of the government parliament Anil administration is jealous that new South Wales has assumed the Industrial and productive Lead. New South Wales envies Victoria the great pull and expenditure of the seat of government. Queensland and South Australia respect the Domi Nance of the two Eastern and Southern states whilst West Australia and Tasmania bitterly com Plain that having lost the state Tariff and Revenue and having parted with control of their shipping Anil other local services they Are great sufferers by federation rather than gainers. Tasmania the Little Island state is a continuous beggar and a thankless one at that Ever holding out the hat for Doles and Whinon for More and complaining that federation will be the death of her. West Australia is Little More easy. Or. Bruce the prime minister hav ing recovered from his ear ailment went across to the West with the object of unifying if possible and heartening the forces behind the government and opposed to labor socialism. He has declared i am determined you shall not get out of the federation. You Are too valuable or. Gregory who is a government supporter of sorts and Leader of the anti Federal state party asserts that the state is being strangled by the loss of customs Revenue and the policy of the Eastern seamen under the navigation act and the Federal arbitration award. Sir James Mit Chell lately the Premier of the and now Leader of the opposition gave evidence before the Federal Royal commission in Perth on Dis abilities of West Australia. To said on March 17 that the state surren dered much when it Federated and got so Little since that its position was gradually growing worse but wrongs could be righted without secession. On federating the state believed Federal functions were limited to the customs Post office and defence but the Federal government had since assumed other responsibilities and larger Powers taking sources Revenue and Leav ing the state the Burden of govern ment. Duplication of taxation by the Federal government had resulted in aggregate taxation much heavier than anyone had dreamt though admittedly a great Deal of it was due to the War. The state s Small representation in the Federal parliament was a serious matter and while that continued Australia would be governed by the two largest states. It would be remedied if the number of men Bers from the smaller states in the House of representatives were increased in Point of fact Australia is too vast for comfortable government from any one Centre and until Eitner the australian people take their fed eral machinery in a More Friendly spirit or until the unwieldy states Are subdivided we May expect that there will be friction. The inevitable centralization of control by a supreme bureaucracy tends to exasperate local feeling and another irritation is the attraction of Federal politics for the Ablest and most ambitious men in state politics. The Case in Point just now is the retire ment of mr.1 Theodore the labor Premier of Queensland to enter the Federal Ulster s general election deductions May now be drawn from an analysis of the figures just received of the general election held in Northern Ireland on april g. Sir James Craig s government has been returned with a Safe working majority but with a reduction in its numbers which is taken As a warn ing Domestic affairs cannot be shelved while Only major attention is Given to such questions As the nervous problem the Boundary settlement. The dictatorial Altitude said to have been assumed by the Craig government while it was in its excessive majority is thought to have accounted for the loss of its seats in Belfast that have been won by Independent unionists. Their Dlf frences with the government appear to have nothing to do with the Boundary Issue on which they Are in agreement but they differ on cer Tain Domestic concerns such As Temperance housing and continuing teaching the Bible in schools the last having been opposed by the government though finally concurred in. The total figures show the in deviating purpose of the North to insist upon the retention of its six counties. To secure such to Man Date was announced by sir James Craig As his chief reason for hold ing this general election after a As the constitutionalists at the expense of the republicans who Are now left with Only two. Representatives one of whom is or. De a Era who has no intention of taking th.2 seat so ingeniously won for him. It was in Belfast itself and its county of Antrim where the govern ment unionists were More disappointed by their losses for not alone wore four independents returned Over four government candidates but labor was successful in electing three representatives one each in North East and South Belfast. In the free state an observer considers that the really important fact about tha elections As a whole was the improved spirit in which they were fought and says that people of Goodwill in the free state Are hop ins now that they May be portents of better relations Between the two Irish it Hope of peace in India the one topic of discussion in is the manifesto issued by or. C. H. Das Leader of the Swaraj its in Bengal. In this unexpected pronouncement he stated his unequivocal condemnation of violence and gave utterance to a plea to the youth of Bengal to abandon the adoption of All such methods. He went fur ther though stating his position in the vaguest terms when he inti mated that upon terms which the might consider honorable Thoy could co operate with the government. It is within the realm of that this manifesto May bring about a change in the political complexion of India. It has been the determination of the Swaraj its to refuse co operation of any sort with the government that has made impossible Success of the Dyar Chy reforms. And now or. Das has suggested though faintly and vaguely that co operation is possible. Even the faint approach to such an eventuality on the part of or. Das has mount so much in India that a favor atle situation is admitted to have been created rendering feasible Matual discussion where absolute antagonism of principles and prac Tice has existed. Or. Das s express looking Over Saskatchewan by j. S. W. Election probabilities no Date has been set for Disso Lution of the Saskatchewan Legisla Ture and the consequent election. In fact the legislature not be Dis solved till june 1926, although word has gone out to All parties to be conventions Are taking place All Over the province and while there May be an interval Dur ing seeding when political activities will be slowed up for a time by june 1st every constituency should have its quota of contestants in the held. It is a noticeable thing that Sev eral members on the government Side seem reluctant to seek re nomination. Or. Mcdonald in Prince Albert or. Johnson in Melfort or. Taylor in Birch Hills or. Vancse in Lumsden or. Hermanson in Canora have All dropped out. There Are no doubt personal reasons for these but it does not look too Well. On the opposition Side or. Harvey Lias declined to he re nominated in Kindersley and or. Maharg will not say whether he will re contest Morse again. Government circles in any Case Are quite confident they can win Morse. The opposition. Is however quite confident it can win Melfort and Canora and is absolutely certain it can win Happy land All of which remains to be political prophecy at any time is a gratuitous form of occupation a formal disassociation of himself largely tending to emphasize the his party from All forms of Vio Lence is noteworthy in itself and is much More than an oratorical Ges Ture if it can restrain his followers. It foreshadows a Complete change in attitude for or. Das As the very admitted Leader of the Swaraj its often been held responsible at least incl directly for the revolution Ary movements and terrorist meth ods which forced the government of Bengal to Arm itself with the extra Ordinary police measures promulgated. In its famous ordinance. So a favourable atmosphere has been created the most favourable that has existed in India since 1918. The approach Distant As it yet seems to be has been perceived by the British Secretary state for India lord Birkenhead who made sympathetic if guarded allusion to it in the House of lords. I shall watch the results of his Appeal to those Wiio accept his guidance with Hope Ful said lord Birkenhead. But let there be no ambiguity about this. When or. Das Speaks of repression he apparently Means the repression of political the repression which the Ben act contemplated is the repression of crime and no one who is not a criminal is entitled to express a grievance against that legislation. I invite or. Das to take a further step. He has publicly disassociated himself from political assassinations and violence in any shape or form. I make allowance for the difficulties of his position hut i would suggest that a conscientious citizen cannot quite there. I ask him to Sci Forward and co operate with the government in repressing the Vio Lence which he deprecated. If he will do that he will find the Way is open and easy for that which we All de Between the Brit ish government and Indian political parties with a View to the progressive realization of responsible government in British a Cor respondent from Calcutta says that though it is Early to expect any Concrete result from these exchanges of views and premature to Hall or. Dis As a co operator it is undeniable that the Prospect of a steady peace Ful and Happy Advance in India is greater than at any time since or. Gandhi first launched his non be operation suggestions Are being made that or. Das and or. Gandhi might be invited to go to London to discuss the Situa Tion More Intima tiny and fully with the Secretary of state and the vice Roy lord heading now in England. Major gerneral strange from the Edmonton journal not Only have we men still with Usi in the full vigor of life who were members of the Edmonton Home guard of the rebellion Days in 80, but the Soldier who commanded the Relief expedition and had then a Long and distinguished military record to his credit is alive today. The most recent edition of the British who s records that major general Thomas Bland strange is approach ing his ninety fourth birthday his Aldress being Camberley Surrey county England. He served in the Indian Mutiny and in the Relief of Lii know distinguished himself by lending a charge of artillery and capturing two guns. He was later in command of the fortress of Quebec and had taken up ranching near Calgary three years before the out break of 1ss5. Session of parliament the shortest in its. History. But As the London times says the question is whether such a demonstration was either necessary or. Prudent. There was surely no need of a general election to prove the obvious truism that a Large majority of Ulster men Are uncompromisingly hostile to any alteration of the. Boundary which would Transfer Large areas to the. Free but if the election has unnecessarily reaffirmed the Palpa ble it has served another purpose. It has increased representation in the parliament of the nationalists the explosion Imen the match is put to the powder. It is produced by a combination of circumstances with the state of soul within. Occasion ally these two so meet that an explosion is the result. It cannot be foretold and in a moment gone. A great preacher is one who Lias fire enough to be continually would not continual explosion be exhausting in. Those Days this preacher used to. Prepare his sermons.

A veal pie May have literary warrant for being considered As proper food for humans. We have Sead that it. Johnson or some other great person age was fond of it.

Not but half a dozen is minty chocolate drops Are. The Stutt w win races on it appears and per to a con plish other tasks re Quiring great Energy concentration of Effort and slaying Power. Limitations of the Prophet. At the risk of ail this however we Are pre pared to make a prediction based on conditions As they now exist that if the polling were taking place within the next ton Days the present administration would have not less than 40 out of the s3 seats the conservatives including Semi independents not Over six and the balance pretty much All provincial progressive. There is some time before the election however. Time enough for the anti government move to sweep up some outstanding personalities into us Wake. Time to develop a Case to Corn Bat the general claim of the administration that it has Given the province capable careful and economic government. Possibly time to capitalize effectively the undoubted discontent prevailing in various sections of the province. E it is somewhat improbable that after the election there will be found to exist the solid North which was a pronounced feature of the election of 1921. The East and North East of the province will almost certainly return More opposition members than Are there now. The Goose Lake country is another Section where the government May not do better than break even but on the whole the South and West look very Good for or. Dunning. There is a probability of the turning Over to the government column of at least two seats in the South now held b the opposition always of course providing that the present disjointed sporadic opposition sentiment does not get worked up into the Dimen Sions of a Prairie fire such As swept Alberta in the year 1921. To be no sign of it at present but suppose considerations should cause the Dunning government to defer the Appeal to the people til this fall or say next Spring there is no telling what would take place in the country in the meantime. Even in that event the Small towns and villages would not Likely be involved in the movement As they were in Alberta in these the present government has a stronghold which will provide a very useful body of support although not enough to carry constituencies by themselves. So far As the City constituencies Are concerned three of them being two member As at present advised the government has the two seats in Regina none in Moose jaw although or. Baker the la Bor member sits on that Side one in Saskatoon and has the representation from All the other cities in the province. Regina is said to be doubtful. The conservatives have nominated major Macpherson. Anc or. Burton. The former was thought to be due for the Federal nomination again but apparently has been persuaded to accept the provincial much no doubt to the Joy of cer Tain ambitious ones among the conservatives who Are praying for the re nomination of or. Motherwell Moose jaw will probably see Only one Liberal nominated for the two seats with a very Good Chance of carrying it. Saskatoon will. Be. A very interesting fight.

On the whole it will be surprising if All the Cabinet Are not returned fairly comfortably. With which few remarks Saskatchewan May be left to simmer for a while. The decision of or. Shaw to vote for the budget leaves the Ginger it is said without a Leader. We were under the impression that the group was composed entirely of leaders. The Hon. H.

Stevens there was a red her etc., etc., but everybody knows that Story. The announcement by the White Star lice that they May not proceed with the i building of new steamers for the Canadian Trade is the sort of propaganda which will leave most people in this part of the country quite quite cold.

What is happening is not. Obscure if there is any accuracy in the news despatches. The bulgarian government is holding office in face of a Strong opposition. This opposition dissatisfied with the possibilities of getting the government unseated by a general election we Are assuming they have general elections in Bulgaria started a Little in dependent action by setting off a few bombs at an official Celebration in the Sofia Cathedral about a week ago. The explosion removed a few members from the ministry and exploded several Hundred innocent bystanders into fragments at the same time. The of course was to make the remaining members of the government tighten their grip of the reins of Power and these past few Days several thousand members of the bulgarian opposition have been shot Hung and in a general Way. Moved while thousands have been flogged and had their feet broken to induce in them a proper respect of the established order in from which it is freely assumed that the bulgarian government is not going to have a general election this fall. People who Are dissatisfied with Canadian politics should take a slant at this bulgarian fracas. Ours May be a Good bit Tamer but All in All surely ours is at least More decorous.
