One of these journals wants to know Why the con be amended. The free press it might be pointed priv 1 not been asking for the amendment of the Constitution Boon saying that Canada Nast now provide herself As part f her National equipment with the Means of amending her cont tuition should the need for this arise. If the Constitution of the country perfectly met its needs today there could be no cer into that this condition would continue. Canada is in the first tape s of a National existence that will we Trust cover hundreds perhaps thousands of years but to Start out on. This journey with ironclad unchangeable Constitution is to invite serious trouble later. There is no outlier country in the world which is without Power to Amend its own Constitution and la Patrie and its associates Are fighting against the inevitable when they try to prevent Canada equipping herself with Powers so inseparable from nationhood. An sooner or service work the to Foster loyalty calling in representatives of the department of soldiers civil be establishment when legislation affecting the sex service men was be ing considered but refusing to hear representatives of the organized veterans. Besides the legion Aims among the Public and education in the principles of patriotism duty and tinted Public it takes an interest in questions such As immigration. On such subjects there May be differ ence of opinion in the country but the views of the legion deserve the consideration which is due. To the sincere purpose of the members. They should be considered on their merits of course and As part of the general contribution to Public Dis Cussion which influences the Settle ment of important issues. The legion will be More in Evi Dence at this year and it will have Public support whenever it can show that an amendment or change in administration is Neces sary in order to carry out the in Tention of just and fair treatment to All. Sex service men. To this it May be replied Are Means by which on Constitution can be changed. This is True if we Are willing to renounce our nationhood and proclaim to the world and to the sister dominions that after All we do not propose to walk along tie Trail which we have been Foremost in blazing but prefer to resume the role status and indignity of a Colony. Our friends of Quebec must face the reality that they cannot have this thing Mit ways. They cannot be Independent of external control when this suits them and at the same time subordinate to external control when they think this serves their interest. It seems a Little illogical to make such a fuss Over a governor general from great Britain interfering with our Complete rights of governing ourselves and at the same time to declare that canadians Are not competent to discharge an essential function of self government Bat must submit themselves in this respect to an. External Parlia ment. We cannot be a Colony and a nation at one and the same time. French canadians who hold As the great majority of them do we Are glad to say that canadians Are free to look after their own affairs Domestic and external subject to no control whatever put themselves in an absurd position when they say that the British parliament can alone be trusted to make amendments to the Canadian Constitution. The British parliament we have no doubt has no desire to retain this vestigial remnant of its former authority Over Canada Flat it will intervene to act As judge or Umpire in the event of a quarrel Between the provinces and the Dominion is highly improbable if not altogether incredible. If this unwelcome duty is left with it after Canada has assumed All the other attributes of sovereignty it will follow we should think one of two courses. It to enact automatically amendments asked for by a joint Reso Lution of the Canadian House of commons and Senate. There the Dominion parliament will be Able at will to change the Constitution which is not desirable since this might Lead to an invasion of the rights of the provinces. Or. In the event of controversy Over a proposed constitutional amendment it will refuse to do anything in which Case we shall be left with a Constitution unalterable Short of revolution. Either alternative is highly objectionable and fraught with Clanger. The British parliament will undoubtedly sooner or later refuse to charge itself with a duty which plainly in View of recent constitutional developments does not adhere to it. The time has come for canadians to face this question and Settle it on reasonable and proper lines. There need be no difficulty if there is Good will and a desire to reach a workable Solu Tion. We do not need to enquire what should be done in the Way of protecting minorities because this matter was settled Over sixty years ago. The Quebec Resolution made it Clear that certain minority privileges were to be continued for All time. These com prised the educational rights of the Catholic minority in Ontario and the protestant minority in Quebec and the employment of French As a Federal official language. The continuance of these rights is admittedly essential to the continuance of confederation and whatever safeguards the minorities require to this end should be freely conceded. Apart from these provisions our Constitution should be amendable by some procedure similar to that which is followed in the United states and constitutional amendments formulated by the Federal authority become effective validated by a sufficient majority of the states. The Dom Inion Clovern ment might properly take the initiative in opening negotiations with the provinces looking towards the adoption of such procedure for Canada.

A highly creditable record was achieved by we former veterans organizations a after the interests of the disabled and the dependents of the fallen. The newly formed Canadian Region will continue this work there seems to be still a Neces or for it and results will be looked from United action and from the education of the Public on matters sex service men which is on8 of the objects of the legion. Important results might have obtained last year but for the critical situation in parliament and fact that on that account the presentations made by the coun they come to Canada speaking All the that gave Babel its Fame hut one language they Allun the language of the red Cross that meets their eyes at the ports. The Canadian National red Cross keeps three nurses at Hall fax and St. John in Winter and que in summer and these stand ready to extend to the newcomers especially the and children a welcoming hand.

So to these fifteen Hun dred went As Many parcels carrying the greetings the red Cross. Five Hundred of these were provided by Junior branches and by prosperous senior branches. Back have come Many letters. It was Nice to writes one that although to have left old friends behind in the old country to have found new ones Here in Canada and it is things like that that count so much to us new Here is excerpt from another Well i May say that we have had quite a Good Welcome to can Ada and if every family gets such a greeting As we got they should never regret coming. 1 May say that up to now we Are getting along splendid much better than Ever i expected and i can see Good things ahead if we work hard and live a Good life. What i cannot make out is that such a lot of people go to England and give Canada a bad name As regards hard work. I find that i have to work no harder Here than i had in England and i should recommend that As Many people As possible should come to Canada the chances Here Are much better than in England. In i had lived in England All my life i should have died just an Ordinary farm labourer but in Canada if. I work and keep things right i will a much better off. I have got More today than Ever i would have had in England. I drive my own horses milk my own cows feed my own hens and pigs and Ever so much which says a lot for us. My wife says that Shu would not go to England for anything As. She thinks this is n much better country. The children love Canada because they have More Freedom and i like Canada it would appear that from its files the red Cross could Supply excellent immigration literature the stories of contented settlers. Of the legion were not dealt those representations will present legislation. The Council of the legion has asked parliament to Widen the authority of the Appeal Lioard and allow it to hear appeals from the decisions the pension Board on the extent of disability or any other ground and to provide for another final court of Appeal As is done in great Britain. The enlarging of the Powers of the Appeal Board was approved by the House of commons a few years ago but was rejected by the Senate along with various other legislative amendments. The Council of the legion has. Also stood for Amend ments to the pension act in Many other details for amendments to the Soldier settlement act apart from the question of revaluation for government action to help sex service men to secure employment through the encouragement in All the larger centres of the establish ment of rehabilitation committees for the maintenance of the civil service commission As an Independent body. In regard to the latter question it is. Stated , has been failure to give preference to sex service men in connection with a great Many appointments removed from the jurisdiction of the commission.

J Manchester canal example to our Middle West notes the Manchester guardian draws in analogy Between the Manchester ship canal and the projected St Lawrence Waterways. In its civic week Issue a fully illustrated account is Given of the difficulties surrounding the founding of the ship canal which now successfully Ives egress from the Inland City Manchester for 35 Miles to the River. Mersey and thence to the Ocean. No vanity Lay Concep Tion of turning this Inland City into a seaport. The mainspring of the Enterprise was Stark economic necessity to which the horse sense of the common people responded More readily than the More sophisticated of All but a vigorous few of their pastors and the project was met with fierce hostility. Liverpool on the Mersey which was the seaport of Manches Ter before the canal was opened fought the idea with bitter Fertility of opposition. Liverpool was then much in the position toward the canal that Montreal is today in relation to the projected St. Law rence greater sea route. The Man Chester guardian recalls the Battle Between those who sought to make Manchester a port and the vested interests determined if possible to thwart her ambitions Cost nearly half a million Sterling of Money. The canal was responsible for Many Legal fortunes As it has been for Many business ones. But the upshot was the loss to Liverpool of her monopoly in the handling of Lancashire a overseas freight. The driving of the canal really benefited everybody and to Day most of its critics Are co operating with it in wider and widening Fields of projects for a waterway to the sea were not new to Lancashire. Earlier schemes had been consid ered were mostly Bora of the desire to harness the facilities nature had provided in the Way of Rivers and were unambitious com pared with the project which came to a head in of or. Daniel Adamsons House at Didsbury where a party hardly silent and certainly not damned met to from the official and commercial Points of View the Enterprise which was destined to save the City from. The Fate of languishing in a financially inaccessible Interior and bring it into direct Contact with the sea and foreign it is not without interest to Manchester that it should have faced and solved a problem a generation ago which even today is exercising others. Only recently or. Hoover Secretary of Commerce for the United states speaking of the present position of the Middle West of America made it Clear that it is much the same As that in which Manchester found itself thirty Odd years ago with increasing railway rates forming a toll Barrier Between the Interior and the sea.

Crother s Sav ing sensible and sympathetic essay on St. Francis an essay without any touch of the polemic. Or Stutfield admits that St. Francis was to some extent a Champion of religious zealous for reforming asceticism. Alas after his death his own order began to degenerate. Now asceticism came originally from India and Buddha begat it. Both the Indian and the to umbrian founded an order of mendicant with almost identical if Only that singing devotee of the lady poverty had burned his vermin infested clothes taken Baths and disinfected himself True says the present essayist he apologized on his deathbed to brother his body.

I would rather have him on the outside kicking in the he suggested than have him inside break ing up the the Senate evidently thought it would have less trouble keeping or. Smith out than it would have putting him out were a once admitted. Smith was technically entitled to take his seat. The charges against him relate to corrupt practices in connection with his election to the Senate for the full term of six years commencing March 4. 1927. He might Well have been halted at the Gate had he been presenting his credentials As senator elect. But he was doing nothing of the kind. On the contrary he was seeking admittance under appointment by the governor to fill a vacancy caused by the death of the late senator Mckinley. That appointment had nothing to do with the elec Lou isor was there any reason to believe that to had been improperly procured. But most of the senators were unable to distinguish Between Sena or.

Calls for the establishment of scholarships inter National application held in various laboratories whereby there May be saved for the world a considerable proportion its rarest and most precious in. Other words those persons capable of creative scientific attainments. Mme. Curie would have these scholarships organized under two Heads 1 for advanced workers who have already made their names by scientific work 2 for Candi dates anxious to devote themselves for some time to science. Those in the second class must be. Given a Chance of developing their talents on the sole condition that they Are recommended by their masters or have obtained Patis factory univer sity degrees. The the scheme would be ensured by Thi deletion of All clauses relating to the nationality at the scholar. On the other says mme. Curie i do not think there is. Any need to object at present to the desire of certain donors to bestow their endowments on a specified univer sity or Laboratory As laboratories the. Centres round which scientific work naturally groups both of scholarship would be awarded for one Yeai with the. Possibility of renewal the. She Points out should be to receive an annual report but it should no expect a. Definite yield each year mme. Curie would also have pro vision made for rhe laboratories for these reasons it is in the interest of a Labora tory to accept students in order to enlarge its sphere of action and the extent of its services to humanity nevertheless the possibility of do ing so depends on the resources of the Laboratory in staff equipment and Money. In the majority of countries the endowment of Labora tories is extremely precarious Anc every worker causes an increase of expenditure which is by no Means made Good by the extremely mod Erate fees asked of Liim and from which moreover he is exempt if. He is of limited Means.
