Doubtless the Labor Party of Canada must work long and hard to cultivate! that spirit in Canada.It must work on tho public and in the government through its own representatives.But the work will not be in vain.Economic pressure and development, and the general public mind is working hand in hand in that direction; and I am inclined to think that the former is further ahead — be cause we tire slow in apprehending what is coming due to the lack of means of cultivating a public ownership spirit and a community conscience.Dr.Harry \V.Laidler of New York in j his ll’orhl says :— “Banking — that enterprise considered sacred to private industry — is nssum- iplos tmd means that the Labor Move Wo thought that last year’s Convention ! ment disowns and repudiate-.That this was tho most important ever held or mighty confiâ t has fallen upon itho world likely to bo held, still, from many view n.s a plague i- dm- to principle- diamo-points the Convention of this year i- trieally opposed to those that underlie , .I equally, if not more momentous.j and permeate the movements of organized sedition of the war, the importation or was not thoroughly organized in the dif- j improvement in these conditions it is “That we may Ire the better able to!

Food-Controller of the United States, has earned the title bestowed upon him by King Albert and the Belgian Government— “Citizen of Honour and Friend of the Belgian People.” 1 he world knows what was accomplished under Hoover’s administration before America’s entrance into the War.Jn July of this year, he was in London in connection with his responsibilities as Food Controller, and took the opportunity to learn how things stood in Belgium.^ So terribly serious are conditions there among the children Mr.Hoover wrote an urgent plea, parts of which are quoted : On May 1 -4h, 1917, 1 advi-ed you of the financial arrangement with the United States Government whereby [unds were provided for the general rationing of the civilian population ol Be gium .I st-ied my hope that the various committees of the Commission for Relief in Belgium that had aueady accomplished so much would hold together despite the new financial arrangement in order to support certain needed special charities."It can be readily understood that in providing a general ration for the whole nation the rigorous system necessary to handle buch a great project can make little provision for special cases and for special needs.These cases, running into hundreds of thousands, of sick and defective children .cannot be taken care of by the general funds.There is an increasing need for funds in these cases.The gift* are running low, and our last reports show that the soup lines of Belgium have increased from onc-and-a-half to two-and-a-half million persons."1 wish particularly to remove any doubt as to the acceptability of contributions to the Commission for Belief in Belgium for the special purposes above indicated.This trans- mission or money is absolutely guaranteed by virtue of an agreement between the belligerent Cjovernrnents, the C.K.B.and the Neutral Spanish and Dutch protecting Ministers in Brussels”.Read between the lines of Mr.Hoover’s letter to his associates, .and you will realize the ever fresh tragedy of Belgium.You will see ./ little babies, pinched with hunger, waiting in line for the howl of soup - • V ( : - • and the two pieces of bread that form their daily ration.- ,/A.rfa ft' /{ Think of it ! f~- f jyfcffF Is it any wonder Consumption and kindred ills (S (f\-t1 sweep through the stricken country,harvesting the V ’’ starved orphans left behind by
