Marked revival Snowden s Victory at the reparations conference has been one in the game As evil ended 1 of exultation. The adjustments he has secured Are not yet attended tues accurately known each correspondent at the Hague having put a. Different percentage on the wires but whether he. Is Gettin per cent of his original demand or 82 per cent., the outstanding fact in great Britain is that the other creditor nations have after a stubborn struggle of three weeks duration come into line and i agreed to the British demand. Messages from London describe the triumphal attitude noticeable even in the Street crowds to whom the technical details of the reparations annuities convey perhaps very Little but to whom this Victory after a strenuous contest Means a conspicuous reassertion of Britain s influence Day s game Here Between the Argo nauts local champions and Oshawa champions of Eastern Canada and now travelling Westward in quest of the Mann cup emblematic the Amateur championship of can Ada.

The local revival has been the and importance in european politics. It May also be so con i conscious and difficult Effort of Side red not perhaps without a Good Deal of annoyance in France or. Snowden s firmness in the Early stages of the Confer ence was denounced in the press with a bitterness that said very Little for the memory or moderation of French journalism. To if the agreement now made however is the conclusive justification of the British position. Had it been inspired by cautious or improper motives it could not have survived the conversations at the Hague or the Blaze of publicity which Lias been poured on the conference since it began. What became More and More definite As the examination proceeded was the Good grounds on which or. Snowden was Basing his claims and had the Confer ence decided to adjourn without a settled rent he might have been the cause of thei adjournment but the responsibility for allowing it to take would have pretty glaringly been on the other parties. Consequently the agreement to the British claim not Only Small were group of determined enthusiasts who not to let the game die. Everyone interested an the development of distinctive nationalism in Canada will congratulate them on their Success. Philip is Widen at the Lagise the impression made by the Hon. Philip Snowden on some of the newspaper correspondents at the Hague conference is shown in a couple of special articles on the British Chancellor printed in the new statesman of August 17. In its own. Editorial the new states Man which is a London weekly of i advanced Liberal views thanks pc r 1.2 per cent 1918-1920 to 1924 1326, 3.9 per cent. Together with this improvement in the technique and equipment of says the article there has been a great and almost continuous betterment of the Condi Tion of the worker. Never before were the workers of this country so Well housed so Well clothed to Well fed so Well supplied with Leisure so Well provided with amusement. Their increased Well is the Tariff fight real by Tom King washing ton . Is the Tariff fight in the Senate at.

Also adds to the British weight in Europe and evens up the Scales which have hitherto very consistently been dipping on the Side of France. The British have. Gained their Point at the Hague but they gain More still through 1 having had such a Good Case and the agreement carries with it the admission that France and the others have abandoned an untenable position and an unjustifiable attitude rather than that they have made any particular National sacrifices. Or. Snowden refused Point Blank that. Britain should be taken advantage of he made his Challenge Good because it was just with gain to his country and no particular credit or Merit to his opponents. Thus treated to the spectacle of an englishman standing up for his country. Never in their careers had the assembled diplomats met a Man who unconsciously and As of right assumed an immense Intel j Lect Al superiority Over them who contemptuously brushed aside their arguments with phrases that stung like vitriol who lectured them As though they were a class of naughty schoolboys. Poor Henderson left very much out in the cold tried to take Refuge a a frigidity sur passing that of Austen Cham nobody paid any Atten a.11 attention was for Gether unexpected fashion and in a measure which must have exceeded his highest Hopes. For the first time since the , British opinion unitedly behind a British government. To or. Snowden belong of course the chief honors but Henderson also has offered a parallel proof of the courageous temper of the new Cabinet in his intimation that whatever the French and belgians May decide All Brit ish troops will he withdrawn from the Rel Elarid before Christmas. Or. Snowden meanwhile offered his says and will leave the. Hague rather than Abate a Jot of his claim v the trouble in Palestine while the immediate cause of the riots la Palestine in which there has been heavy loss of life was a dispute Between the arabs and the jews about their respective rights at the wailing Wall this controversy was but the match to tinder already in place. These Are not the first riots which the arabs have staged to Mark their opposition to the British policy set out in the Balfour note in 1917, of creating a National Home in pales tins for the policy which 1 stubborn As the proceedings May have appeared it is fairly Clear that they inspired at Bottom by the desire of All the parties for a settlement. It May have been delayed by a bit of i vigorous bargaining but a settlement of the reparations problem there has to be in the general interest of the peaceful develop ment of Europe. This is what made or. Snowdon s Resolute j for Justice to the British taxpayer. Stand appear to be so seemed not Only to be exposing the conference to the dangers of a break up but also to be. Putting the future of Europe in the gravest jeopardy the risks however were a Good Deal More apparent than real and his Resolute stand is the proof of his accurate Reading of the real situation. None of the other countries can afford to break with great Britain and particularly could they not afford to break with her on a question ithe re the Justice of her position became the plainer every time it was examined. Or. Snowden had the winning cards and he has played them As a matter of fact with moderation. Great Britain regains part of what the Young Prill had deprived her of. I the diplomatic equipoise of Europe is adjusted More equally by Philip Snowden a unflinching maintenance of the British position. And the British people have evolved another statesman who has become a National hero. The new statesman then prints an article by Sisley Huddleston written from Paris and entitled or. Philip or. Huddleston comments on the artificial atmosphere of unreality in which diplomacy Lias been spinning itself in Europe a web of words has been Woven behind Chichas behind a curtain what is conveniently called the old diplomacy has been Snowden s Plain speech rent this stifling curtain.

Beurett trying to get the electors coming and going says that the australian treaty is to is condemned because first it has decreased the Price of butter and in the second place it has in creased the Price of meat through a. Higher Price for cattle. But if be is right perhaps the advantages and disadvantages of the treaty to the Dairy Farmer cancel themselves out. It in t so Long ago when every House was planned with a fireplace for the family to sit around in the afe some duties have been increased and others decreased but no under lying principle seems to have governed in either Case.

Wilfred Thorley s biographical and critical study of Paul ver Laine 101-1 gave us a picture of Verlaine s evil Genius Rimbaud As a consummate villain. Verlaine shot him in the wrist staunches the wound gave him o return to his Home in France begged him to take the weapon and turn it on him Verlaine. Rimbaud had him arrested for attempted murder and one month later Verlaine the greater poet was sentenced to two years imprisonment at Mons. Some of Verlaine s finest work came out of that he was converted there and composed some exquisite religious poems a notably one on the sense of sin and an other on the Appeal from Christ of the Cross. But he declined again to miserable Low verse. To or. Desmond Maccarty s Little Magazine. Life and ,.apreseiitalives been very exactly the language that was needed. Nothing Short of it would have convinced our erstwhile allies that w e have really come to the end of our patience that the shuffling subservience of the Long Era of Bonar Law and Baldwin and Chamberlain is this is followed by an article from an american who writing from the Hague de scribes Snowden under the heading of Man am i no a Bonnie which was Alan Breck Stewart s opinion of himself when he won the Battle on the Brig.

Cle dealing with the career of a thur Rimbaud from youth until his betrayal of Verlaine. He is introduced As a and of sixteen foot sore and weary from a tramp of sixty leagues to join the revolutionaries in leagues from his Home in the ardennes. He was the son of an army Man who Hail abandoned wife and children the Mother of Stern puritanical Stock who brought up her children strictly. From the age of ten until Nineteen when he turned his Back on poetry including his Rimbaud composed the poems which gave him immortality. The Only thing Ever published by him self is prose Une Sassou in which gives an allegorical account of his relations with ver Pound scoured contents. That is the existing Tariff rate. It amounts in the Case of High Grado wools to nearly one Hundred per cent., and Valorme and in the Case of some Low Grade wools to almost 200 per cent. In any event it is too High and there is no More justification for a duty of 31 than for a. Duty 3-j cents a Pound. The House in creased the general Tariff rate on sugar to 3 cents a Pound retaining the 20 per cent differential in favor of cuban sugar. Trio Senate Bill reduces Tho general Tariff on sugar to 2% cents a Pound. Neither duty is excessive viewed from a Tariff for Revenue standpoint and is much could to said in defence of one duty As in defence of the other. The fantastically High duties on agricultural products found in the House Are increased to More fantastic proportions by the finance committee s revision. It is fair to presume that a duty of -1s cents a gallon on Cream would he tantamount to an embargo and therefore the increase to 56 cents a gallon is unimportant. H would therefore appear Thot the Senate substitute for the Bill is different merely for the Sake of being different.

With the arabs in this mood and the jews engaged in the Pur suit of their rights As denied by the. Balfour note there is always the1 danger of. An armed clash. The present trouble had its. Beginning last year when an Arab mob Dis Persed the jews who were praying at the wailing Wall on the Day of atonement. This year the arabs sought and obtained permission to build a Wall for a. Moslem mosque in the. Immediate neighbourhood of of the league of nations. There were Arab outbreaks was afterwards formally i corpor ,.he wailing Wall on the under ated in the treaty of Sevres that the operations were it As Well the authority Nowc to interfere with the services of the jews but this engagement was not observed. Minor disturb ances preceded an. Assault upon the jews in the prayer a mob of several thousand. Arabs. Since then a state of virtual civil in protest against this recognition of Palestine As a National Home for the jews in Jerusalem in 1020. And in the following year in both Jeru Salem and Jaffa. In 1922 the Brit ish government made a formal declaration of policy in which after repeating the engagement of the Balfour declaration that nothing should be done to prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non jewish communities it was definitely stated that in order that the jewish Community should have Best Prospect of free develop ment it is essential that it should know that it is in Palestine As of right and not on tie arabs of Palestine have re fused to accept this decision.
