WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1915.

Nothing requires more emphasis at public patriotic

meetings than the fact that Britain could not descend to the inhuinan tactics of Germany in carrying on the war. Were Britain so minded she could utilise means oi' wiping out the enemy that would leave them literally not a leg to stand upon. Lord Duiidonald’s secret, which is still in the archives of the War Otiice wus admitted by a coniiniltce of experts to be such us to end a war in as inuiiy hours as it is taking months to-day. But the method was described as so inhuman that it would stagger liuinnuity. Need we doubt for a moment that were Ger- inuny in posscssioii of such u secret she would hesitate to avail liersclt' of it Germany will resort to any means.l be they ever so foul or fienrlisli to gain her end. Britain cannot, dare not, do so. She is lighting for fair play ln warfare as well as in times of pence, and she will not besinirr-li her cscutchcon even though it may mean a! prolongation of thc war.

Not only does Britain fight fair in the field, she fights

fair in the world of diplomacy and commerce. I-Iavingi obtained command of the seas there was nothing to liliider her to declare what she liked contraband. She could have, for instance, listed cotton as contraband and probably eiidcd thc war by this time. This is what such authorities

as Sir William ltuinsay, the great scientist, and Mr I-Iillair| llclloc, the great naval and military authority, deliberately; asscid. llut while it would have been to llritiiiii's advan- iuge so to uct. it would not have been to her credit-at li-nst not so long as the cotton crop of America was__stllL unsold. As ii contemporary remarks, if Great Britain had made cotton contraband at the start of the war, she would liavc induced a condition of cruel business depres- sion in thc Soutlicrn part of the United States. It ls all very well to say that wc are fighting for civilisation, but that is no excuse for a violation of international law or an action for which wc have not received the sanction of those who are to suffer most ot' the immediate consequences. 'l`hc liritish Government could not have adopted a paternal altitude toward neutral nations without serious conse- quciices. Such action would have been accepted"'as British adliorcnee to the doctrine that “might is rlglit,” since the llrltisli people have no right to assume that the honest eoiivictioiis they hold regarding the war are held with <“1u-.il force in neutral countries by a sufficiently large nnniber ot' the pcoplc ot' these countries to prevent ii critical situation from arising. Great Britain’s policy in ri-g.iril to neutrals. from the first, has been carried out with a generous appreciation of the rights and conditions ol' neutral nations. Such a policy may possibly mean ri longer wail i`or military success than a harsher policy would mean. lint the nation which espouscs a high ideal in goin;-1 to war labours under ri heavy responsibility in tlii-so matters and, in a world war, the British policy is

as wise as it is lust.

MACHINE GUN FUND

At the rctniest of Mr l~l. (3. Flood, Mr A. W. Hynrlman,

manager' of llic ltoyal llank, has accepted the position of treasurer of the Machine Gun Fund. The Committee will thus consist of the editors of the three Charlottetown daily papers, with Mr H. C. Flood as Secretary and Mr A. \V. liyndman as Treasurer. Mr Flood has iriready received promises of substantial support, and everything points to Prince Edward Island being well represented at the l`ront by machine guns. intending contributors should communicate direct with Mr Flood or Mr Hyiidman or [through any of the newspapers, ami acknowledgement of contributions will be made through the various news- ,papers. ‘

In addition to the gun already furnished by Messrs

Matthew & McLorin, Ltd., the people of Sourls and vicinity have now taken in hand to furiilsli another gun, the fund for which has been started, headed by Mr John Nichols with a subscription of $300, and it is expected that within a day or two the full amount of $1,000 will he collected und' forwarded to the Minister of Militia and Defence, Ottiiwii.

It is understood that Mr W. H. Aitken has offered $250,

and other three such donations will provide one gun. Hon. Justice I-Iaszard has given $50, and other 19 similar gifts will provide ri third gun. Mrs George E. Auld and family have offered to provide u gun between them. Thus It will be seen that the people of Prince Edward Island have only to be shown the iiced of iinythin in coiinoello

nbillty.

LABOR ORGANIZATIUN IN CANADA

The fourth annual report on Labour Organisation in

Canada, containing 238 pages, embodying statistics, etc., for the caloniltir year 1914, has been issued by the Depart- nic-nt of Labour.

Many will find ii special interest in the chapter con-

taining ii discussion of the bearing of the European war on vnrlous aspects of trade unlonism. which includes also the tcxl of dellverances of representative labour organisations in dllTerent countries with respect of war in general or having special reference to the present war. Figures are printed showing the number oi members of trade unions. who to the close of the year 1914. have as recruits or reservists gone to the’ front from Canada. The trade unions furnished ln all 3,498 recruits and 417 reservists, these figures not including recruits joining the forces since January 1915.

The standing of the chief cities from this point of view

is shown ln the following statement.:-

The effect of the war on Canadian trade union growth

is shown in ii decrease of membership. the loss being 9,636. The estimated numerical strength of 0l'88¥IiS€<i labour in Canada at the close of 1914 stood approximately at 166,163. The membership for each of the past four

iyears, as reported to the Department, has been as fol-

The membership for 1914 of international organisations

operating in Canada was 140,482, members of non- lnternatlonnl bodies numbered 20,935, and 4,746 belonged to independent unions.

The decrease in international membership was 9,095.

and in independent uiilons of 1,261. while the non- lnternational membership shows a gain of 720. At the close of the year 1914 there were 2,003 local branch unions in Canada, 1,174 owing allegiance to international organisa- tions, 196 affiliated wjth noii-international bodies and 33 independent unions. These figures show a reduction of 18 in local branches of international organisations, a loss oi’ one in independent units, and a gain of five in non- internatioal branches, making a total decrease of 14 in the number of local union branches in the Dominion;

ln twenty-five of the cities more than one-lialf of thc

local unions of the country are located, and among them they comprise nearly 40 per cent. of the entire union membership in the Donilnioii. Montreal stands in llrst place us to the number of local branches, but Toronto reports much the largest memberslilp.

A table is furnished showing the expenditure during the

year 1914 on account of benefits pnld by central labour 'organisations operating'ir¥"Ca`n‘ada."""` Of 'the' 102 'inter- national bodies whose actlvities extend into the Dominion 79 have benefit features on ii varying scale. The total disbursements during 1914 by the various international organisations amounted to $12,837,987, being divided for each class of benefit as i'ollows:-

Death benefits $8,864,631 strike benefits 1,9sx,:ir.o Sick benefits 963,353 Accident benefits 635,580 Old age pensions 266,395 Uiicmployed beiieflts 97,392 Travellliig benefits ' ' 47,286

Of the non-intermitional bodies three reported having

made payments on account of benefits, the total disburse- ments amounting to $8,266.75.

Tire report follows closely along the lines of former

reports, the various phases of tho general scheme of organisation which have been developed beinggiven due consideration,

A chapter is devoted to a discussion of some of the

leading features of the organisations composed oi’ work- men employed iii the mining indilstry, including a brief history of their development and difficulties.

The report serves as a directory of trade unions for the

Dominion for 1915, including as it does particulars not only of every known local trade unloii in Canada, but also a list of all international and non-liiternational central organising bodies, together with the names and addresses of the clilef executive officers.

NOTES

American passengers on the Cunard liner Orduna are

highly incensed at the German attempt to torpedo that vessel and are urging Washington to make formidable protwt to Berlin. No doubt their wlsli will be met and communications he exchanged between the two capitals. The German diplomats are perfectly willing to receive and answer notes. but as for stopping piracy, well, that is an- other matter.

iafuctlon; energy and time expended in effort to-secure so-called rights and liberties that to the average citizen appear of no practical value; doubtful improvements dc- manded with much clamor and voclferation; worldly arguments to prove facts that are really of little con- sequence iifter they are proved- we see them on

Every day the “express”

Every day, out through the

The slow-spoken farmer,

watching the performance one morning, put his long- felt curiosity into words.

"Now I wonder what that

silly dog thinks he would do with the train if he ever could catch it 1'"

There are not a few hum-

an pursuits that swaken very much the ssmo ques- tion.
