groping for a continental niche, has at last come to rest with them. Ap- pearing simultaneously with reports ihat Germany is laying down sub- uiarlnes, thus smashing the last surviving military clause of the Versailles Treaty, it is designed to arouse British opinion in favor of still further bolstering air and naval defences.

Fiviliy, its publication at a time when the Prime Ministers of the Dominion; are gathering in London for the King's Jubilee and the thoughts and sentiments of British people are being tuned to an Im- mzlial pitch, suggests that Mr. Mac- Donald is taking advantage of the occasion to arouse the Empire as a whole to the need of concerted action.

i EDITORIAL NOTES

All set for ER: thanksgiving tomorrow and Monday.

Germany is now boasting of her success in deceiving the League of Nations.

Still there are people who have more faith in another nation than in their own.

The key-note of tomorrows church services will be “Give peace in our time, 0 10rd!"

Monday's holiday and celebrations should be red letter days here and. throughout the Empire. The threstenings from without are drawing us all closer together. and making us realize how bountifuliy blessed we are in the enjoyment of a constitutional monarchy whereby orderly rule and administration in- sure the freedom of the individual and the well-being of the whole.

In recent times there have been

some clever people who laughed to

scorn the old copy book maxims that they wrote in school, consid-

ering them out-of-date and imprac-

ticable. But they Eif} now beginning to realize the wisdom of laying to heart in the days of their youth such truisms as "Trust in God and keep your powder dry“; “a disarmed peace is weak"; “peace begins when: ambition ends"; “if you wish for peace prepare for war"; “the peace

‘of nations cannot be secured without

azms, nor arms without pay. nor pay without taxes."

Probably the only Canadian lay-

man ever to speak in Westminster Abbey was Hon. P. C. Larkiri, for-

mer Canadian High Commissioner to mndon. Before a great congre- gation 12 years ago he asked the Dean and Chapter to accept the Canadian colors to hang perman- ently over Wolfe's monument in re- membrance oi the many colors oi Canadian battalions deposited there while the battalions were fighting in France during the Great War. Visiting Canadian clergyman, how- ever, frequently have been invited to occupy the pulplts at the Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral.

What is the new religion Ger- mans have substituted for Chris- tianity? Here are the essentials as

given by its author, Ludcndorff:

"'3-~T'1lB whole meaning and force of a nation are concentrated in its army.

"k-Christianlty divides the peo- ple at home and restrains the fury of the soldier at the front. ‘mere- fore, Christianity Is Germany! greatest enemy, and must be root- ed out if the nation is to fulfil its great mission."

In sn interview in a recent issue, our evening contemporary tried to show that Mr. Mich Hepburn! pol- icy had the approval oi all except the "idle rich" and such like. Mr. Hepburn’; financial policy has a far more general effect than that, how- ever, as indicated by the Perth Ilx- posltor. Referring to a meeting of the Delrnnture Committee of Lan- u-k County Council the lrpositor published the foliofing resolution adopted by that body: "Resolved that the Debsnture Committee of the ‘Ocuhty Council of Lanark Council wish to draw to the atten- tion of the Provincial Premier firs very detrimental affect cnthe sale of county Bonds brought about by the nrcvmd nwdietica c!

Hitler is hailed as the saviour of the people. "He has broken the

chains of Versailles" they cry ecstatically. But it may be that he, too, was close pressed;

the economic salvation he prom- Laed Germany was not materialis- ing. Distralcting attention from home conditions by the promise of large adventures abroad is an old way_ with dictators. Hitler may have good reason for so dramatically revealing his hand. Whatever the reason, there can be no doubt of this: Europe can no er pretend. Peace cannot be made merely by shouting it. We must begin again‘ to build- this time with more certainty, for we know pretty plainly where we stand-London Sunday Rcfree.

The Germans are hopeless quibb- lers. They withdraw from the dis- armament conference, they notify intended withdrawal from the League, they ignore a treaty and in- crease their forces; and then, in reply to Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's assertion that they are threatening peace and breaking up the road leading in that direction, they have the impudence to point out that Germany has never withdrawn "her offer to submit to every limitation of armaments to which other coun- tries are ready to submit." They are disappointed they say. that Mr. MacDonald “still expresses doubts of Germany's will to peace."

Former Mayor Louis Dfifaylor. of Vancouver is contemplating a hike to the north 0i British Columbia in search of gold, repeating an ad- venture that he undertook thirty years ago. Mr. Taylor, who has reached threescore years and ten, states that there is not any work so hard as “loafing” for a man who has been active all his years. This may sound like heresy to the agi- tators for a six-hour day. but it is an attitude that many still believe in. Certain," prospectors give no heed to hardship and ask for no help from anyone-Montreal Gaz- ette.

Unemployment

(Sydney Post-Record)

Another striking illustration of the transformation which takes nlwe in a political agitator when faced with the responsibilities c! office. has been afforded in the recent sharp joinder of issue be-

tween Premier Mitchell Hepburn of

Ontario and the unemployed

strikers from the Crowlsnd town-

ihh). Addressing a committee of these strikers on Monday night, Mr. Hepburn used language which was singularly in contrast with his public utterances regarding the administration of unemployment when he was leader of the i- tion a year ago. Then he found that in every dispute respecting luiem- ployment the Government he was opposing was always wrong, while the agitators exploiting ununploy- ment discontent were always right. On Monday night he told the strikers to go back to work, to cease listening to agitators and give evi- dence of their- good faith if they wished to receive any consideration from his Government. "You can't bluff the Province of Gltasiofhiie declared heatedly, "and just to show you that you can't. we're going to call your bluff. We'll not consider your demands until after you have worked next Monday." And he ad- ded. “you fellows are the victims of outside agitators and when you loam to decide and act for your- selves I'll talk to you. if you want to starve your families. you will do so on your own responsibility."

The point of view thus set fort by Mr. Hepburn is sound __‘, even if thp language in which it has been expressed might hen been toned down a little to conform with the dignity which is heoe to give the right kind of emphasis to declarations of this character from the responsible head of a pro- vincial administration. (mtarids new premier hes been in office long enough to learn that it is easier to stir the timbers of popular dis- content than" to quench them.
