Or. Nov Den did not pack off to England in an angry storm while the French stood by irreconcilable in their opposition and angrily allowed him. To go. The actual proceedings As a matter of fact seem to have been much More conventional than the first reports suggested and a Penis Al of such parts of or. Snowdon s speeches As have been reported verbatim do not Plain very startling characteristics. It May have been a Shock to the other delegates to have the British Case presented in entirely unambiguous language but they sustained the Shock perhaps with some justifiable perturbation and thereafter began to Settle Down to discuss a situation in which they arc All agreed upon the main that some amicable and lasting solution must in the general interest be found. That is what they Are working on happens to the conference at the Hague certain facts have come to the surface of the reparations problem which at least make it More easy to understand. It has been Given definiteness the German ability to pay has been assessed in round figures Over a stated Torra of years and All the creditor Coli entries irrespective of their disagreement on the division of the pay ments have accepted the total sum Germany is asked to pay. This confines the whole transaction to perceptible operations through a known period at the end of which the scores will have been settled and the last obligations of Germany wiped out. It hardly be possible henceforth to involve reparations in the Clouds of confusion and misconception in which they floundered up till 1924, and ont of which they have now been rescued and i Given rational dimensions by the Young plan. Involved in the reparations adjustment is the withdrawal of the Allied troops from the occupied areas in the Rhineland where they have been stationed since the end of the War. The reports from the Hague on this phase of the conference Are reassuring. Britain s position it is understood is that the British troops will be withdrawn even though no agreement on the percentages can be reached and Belgium has decided to stand by great Britain and withdraw from the Rhineland too. The French from whom the real opposition to speedy or easy withdrawal was expected to come have displayed instead a Friendly sympathy for the German demands for withdrawal and an excellent temper Marks the general attitude of the conference towards this phase of the settlement. As the events have gone even if the conference does adjourn without an on the annuities the question of the occupied areas has passed into the easier areas of diplomacy. These Are distinct gains in the wider orbit of International i relations. They suggest that there really is a better International understanding and that the sentiments embodied in Tho peace pacts really were sincere and Are making their effects Felt in the treatment of the issues on whose effective settlement the Harmony of Europe depends. It is difficult even conceding total failure at this session the conference to imagine a. Crisis resulting which would seriously endanger the world s immediate peace. The disagreements at the Hague May be very serious and even much less so than they would have been lie has autocratic ally created have nothing to do with it and their activities will be ignored by Winni Peg in they have any effect it will be to exacerbate the situation and make its adjustment More scenes of manch u Rian troubles the glory of the Garden horticultural shows Are All Over the place this season. Greater Winnipeg has twelve on its proud hands symbolic of the Beauty which to spread out in gardens every where. They Are a forerunner of the provincial show which will be held August 27-31 in the City. An integral part of each neigh boyhood Effort is the Home grounds Competition. These Are not perhaps instructive As to landscape Garden ing but they Tell a Story in. Life values which does gild the Lily and throw perfume on the Violet. Street after Street in Winnipeg North South East and West can show stately Homes and tiny Homes each set in a Bower which expresses appreciation of things Beautiful and radiates its influence As. Far As the Happy winds carry its message. Some of these gardens would have been made anyway. Then creators if nothing else were at hand would have conscripted once More the reliable Tomato can. But encouragement and emulation have their place in this record of civic Pride and lhes.5have been Forth coming through the efforts of the neighbourhood horticultural society the officers of which Are giving a real contribution to those things in a City which Are of Good report. Town after town outside of Winnipeg have their Lovely gardens also. So have Many farmsteads. The cumulative value of these in the up building of the province Are of More real Impi Tance than for instance the record of the experimental farm at Morden with its frailty it Apple Trees hanging with ripening fruit outstanding As that is. Heretofore there has. Not been the in liberals who previously voted conservative and half who Are under communistic what is. Wanted or.

Chinese authorities at Harbin in the heart of Manchuria entered the offices of the chinese Eastern railway arrested the russian railway executives deported them and announced that henceforward the. Rail Way must be considered As owned and oper ated by China. Since then armies have been massing at vital Points on the manchurian. Frontier and a very similar pact with can Tso in the famous old Bandit who was then a. Control of Manchuria and in open revolt against the Cen trial chinese government. This was the peking agreement differing from the Mukden pact chiefly in hastening the time when the Road would revert to chinese hands. During the next two years there was constant bickering Between Japan Russia and China Over the chinese Eastern. At the same time the old Central government col China and Russia stand on the lapsed civil strife broke out Al dangerous but they Are a year ago. A question of Money speakers at a Public meeting at the Pas have charged the free press with opposing the construction of the proposed Highway to that town. The free press is not aware that it has offered objections to this project. It has commented on the spectacle of politicians and party newspapers denouncing the Bracken government today for the size of the provincial expenditures and to Morrow for demanding that it construct the Road to Pas regard less of the Cost. The problem of improving communications Between the Southern part of the province and the North Ern which includes the matter of the Road to the Pas is a Large and intricate one which will require careful study by experts and engineers. The Bracken government is presumably giving its attention to it. The proposition will have to meet with general Public approval be cause it will Cost a lot of Money which will have to be provided in the usual the taxpayers. The taxpayers May be unduly critical on the Point of the possibility of the Early completion of the Road because they Are being stirred up to think that too much Money is already being spent by the government but that is part of the consequences of the game of politics which is being played and by no person More enthusiastically than by the mayor of the Pas. Winnipeg expressed himself on Uch important questions As the Gyp Tiao treaty the Singapore Jase Russia British american re actions and Empire relations. Would it not he appropriate to offer in.

Provinces who last july threw All russian officials out of Manchuria and assumed ownership of the chinese Eastern. He claimed breach of the Mukden and peking agreements. The world now Waits to see the outcome. Will Russia use Force to re enter Manchuria chinese government Strong enough to hold its position not Only against Russia but against the Semi Independent governors of the three. Outlying widespread Manchur Ian provinces lastly and perhaps most important will Japan allow Russia and China to Settle their own differences or will she step in As she has done before to fasten her grip More firmly than Ever on the Rich Mainland lying off her coasts notes the Spectator explains the intention is that governments shall sup ply to the Central Board regularly an estimate of their annual needs in the matter of narcotics for strictly medicinal and scientific purposes. In addition there will be forwarded to the Board actual statistics of imports and exports and the Hon. Peter Heenan has insisted upon appointing a representative for the City on a Board o arbitration the City has insisted i does t want. Or. Heenan puts himself in the place of that old time bar room pest who had to be kicked before be could be Mads understand tha his drinks were unwanted. A raw Deal the British objections to the report of the Young reparation commission Are put in. Small com pass by the London observer the reduction of Germany s liability under the Young re port is calculated on a corresponding reduction of the Brit ish annuity while the French and italian annuities Are in creased and even that Ejigu Ous British annuity is to come from the Post potable not the unconditional part of the Ger Man payments. On the French and italian Side stands an in creased Revenue secured on a prior charge. On the British Side a reduced Revenue wholly unsecured. It is not Only in just not Only a Businesslike. It is unnecessary. As a country we have gladly paid a big Price for peace and conciliation. Manufactures of drugs Quarter by Quarter. Comparison the figures thus obtained will show pretty clearly if. Any country is securing substantially larger supplies of narcotics than its own estimates have to need. In such a Case Contact will be established Between the Board and the government concerned and the matter will if necessary be brought before the league Council. It has been roughly estimated that the amount of opium and opium codeine and to Supply the world s medicinal and scientific needs annually is 340 tons while a conservative estimate of the amount produced is tons. For cocaine the figures for necessary supplies Are 12 tons while As a matter of fact More than that amount is manufactured in Europe books Are a finer world within the world i alone. The Flowers and fruit of the year. A Russia promised Aid to Peter Heenan Butts in the difference Between the City of Winnipeg and employees of its Hydro electric system which has led to the appointment of a Board of conciliation by the minister of labor has no relation to hours wages or working conditions. It has to do with the policy which the my of Winnipeg has maintained for years that employees of the City while free to organize and make collective bargains Are not to be Long to outside Industrial unions. The reason for the prohibition is Well known it is to Lessen the possibility of the essential services of the City being suspended to the great injury of All the through tha arising of Industrial disputes with which the City is not concerned. The policy is one of longstanding it has been reviewed from time to time by reason upon it and confirmed. So far As the record shows the people of Winnipeg Are definitely , As necessary for the Protection of the Community. It is of course open to anybody who thinks the regulation wrong and not in the civic interest to seek its removal by the Agency of the ballot Box we. Have a Muni Cipal election once a year in Winnipeg at which questions of this character can be submitted to the judgment of the electors. The inde pendent labor party will be quite within its rights to ask authority from the electors to wipe out the slave As the party Calls it and. If it obtains that authority no objection can. Be taken to a reversal o. Policy. But All. Kinds of objection can be taken to the irruption into this situation of or.
