on estimait qu’avec la nomination d'une commission indépendante dont les décisions seraient finales et sans appel, ce but serait atteint.Il semble qu’il n’en est rien si l’on se base sur la décision que vient de rendre le juge Fabre Surveyer et que nous avons publiée dans notre dernier numéro.D'après ce jugement, on pourrait en appeler des décisions de la Commission lorsqu’on croit que cette dernière a outrepassé ses pouvoirs.Pourtant, l’article 29 de la loi que nous reproduisons ici semble bien clair, car voici ce qu’il dit: "Art.29.1.Les décisions de la commission dont la révision n'a pas été demandée suivant l’article 25 de la présente loi, et celles qui ont été rendues en vertu du mémo article, sont DEFINITIVES ET SANS APPEL.a.Les jugements homologuant la décision de la commission sont également DEFINITIFS ET SANS APPEL.3.Aucun recours par voie do certiorari, de prohibition, d'injonction ou de mandamus ne peut être exercé contre les procédures et la décision de la commission ni contre la Cour supérieure homologuant lesdites décisions.” Nous voilà donc dans un joli imbroglio: d’un côté, la loi dit que les décisions do la Commission sont sans appel; d’un autre côté, un juge de la Cour supérieure prétend que, dans certains cas, on peut en appeler.Qui a tort Qui a raison?La situation se complique du fait que l’article 28 stipule que "sur requête sommaire de la Commission ou de toute autre partie intéressée la Cour peut (?) homologuer la décision, laquelle devient alors exécutoire comme tout autre jugement”.Le juge Fabre Surveyer soutient que, comme la loi dit simplement que la Cour “PEUT” homologuer et non “DOIT”, un juge n’est pas obligé de le faire, mais qu'il a le pouvoir cle renvoyer la requête s’il juge que la Commission a outrepassé ses pouvoirs.Le juge en chef de la Cour supérieure, l’honorable F.-X.Lemieux, n’est pas entièrement de l’opinion de son collègue, il reconnaît que la Cour ne peut pas, sans aucune preuve au dossier, homologuer une décision de la Commission, toutefois il est d'opinion que la Cour devrait homologuer ces décisions “en maintenant que la décision a été rendue selon la preuve que la Commission avait devant elle, c’est-a-dire dans les limites de sa juridiction”.Voici donc deux juges éminents, qui diffèrent totalement d’opinion sur un texte de loi qui parait bien clair aux profanes.Qui aura le dernier mot clans ce dilemme?Il paraîtrait que l’hon.M.Taschereau, le procureur général, a l’intention do pousser la chose au bout et de faire décider par les plus hauts tribunaux que personne ne peut en appeler ?• » •-?^J ______________ On a dit du singe que c’était un homme dégénéré, ce qui contredit la théorie de Darwin, à savoir que l’homme est un singe perfectionné.Vous déciderez par vous-même laquelle-des deux hypothèses est la meilleure.Une gue.-11011 de son petit nom Jeannette qui •s’était enfuie du jardin zoologique du Parc Dominion a pris la poudre d’escampette de nouveau, alors que devenue la propriété d'un M.Bélanger, elle trouvait à redire sans doute sur le nouveau sort qui lui était fait.Aussi, pourquoi l'a-t-on contrainte Histoire de singe j Durée du travail en Grande-Bretagne •••••• > • ?• ?• ?» ?• « • « • • j j dans le meilleur des mondes.On at-1 ces bêtes qui n'avaient qu'un défaut, trape une jeune tille qui vient de j celui d'être apprivoisées, ce n'était pas s échapper de l'école et du pensionnat j pour vivre au milieu des hommes.J'ai-et on la vend pour le plus haut prix me encore mieux le tapage infernal qu'on peut trouver à quelque amateur | du jazz que le verbiage des commères qui en ornera sa maison ou la fera servir à différents usages qu'on connait.La Jouvencelle se prête à cette combinaison et subit son seigneur et maître.La guenon qui n’avait pas les compensations qu'on offre à celle-ci s'est lait ce petit raisonnement: Je ne me suis pas échappée de ma cage pour venir du la rue.Les singes, pensait-elle, ne vivent pas que de bananes et de noix, mais d’illusions et de rêves.Les guenons ont cela de commun avec certaines femmes, c'est qu'elles n'apprécient la valeur d’un bien (pie lorsqu’elles en sont privées.Confinée dans l’appartement de M.Bélanger qui lui faisait l'effet d'une Le dernier rapport du chef de l’Ins- temps de crise aiguë.La durée du tra-pection du Travail de la Grande-Bre- ! vail est même plus longue dans quel-tagne peut être considéré comme re- j ques industries, flétant la situation véritable de l’in- J C'est l’irrégularité du travail dans un dustrie britannique en ce qui concerne grand nombre d’industries qui est le la durée du travail;

des décisions de la Commission qui doivent, de toute nécessité, rester finales.Ne nous plaignons pas trop du zèle intempestif de ceux qui cher, - - Ic!lcnt a saisir les tribunaux des cas d’accidents du travail, ils font plus des decisions de la Commission, mais tout cela prendra du temps et que pour l’avancement de nos idées que nous pourrions le faire par des dis devient l’accidenté ou ses dépendants en attendant que décision soit1 ' ' ' ' rendue?C’est lui qui écope, encore une fois.Nou restons convaincus que toutes ces difficultés auraient pu être évitées si on avait supprimé entièrement les intermédiaires dont l’intérêt ’ personnel sera toujours un obstacle à la bonne opération d’une loi de réparation des accidents du travail.Qui a intérêt à susciter des difficultés et à contester les décisions de la Commission?Ceux à qui ces décisions font délier les cordons de leur bourse, en l’occurrence les industriels qui sont autorisés à faire leur propre service d’assurance ainsi que les compagnies qui en font un commerce et, qui naturellement en attendent des profits très légitimes d'ailleurs; comme les uns et les autres sont visés par les décisions de la Commission et que le jugement du juge Surveyer ouvre pratiquement la porte a la litigation, il est à craindre qu’ils n’en profitent pour en appeler des décisions de la Commission et tout le bien qu’on avait le droit d’espérer de la nouvelle loi des accidents du travail s’en ira à vau-l’eau.cours interminables et des colonnes d’articles, ce qui prouve cpie, parfois, ‘‘à quelque chose malheur est bon.” SOCIUS.montagne en fleurs vint caresser son sens olfactif.Ses narines frissonnèrent, son coeur battit plus vite, car devant ses yeux clignotants une vision avait, .„ , .passé, celle de la forêt natale.Les par- °‘SeaU de |îroie’ en mtme fums sont suggestifs et évocateurs, l’odeur du lilas éveille l image du printemps et celle du miel, les champs de sarrasin où l'abeille vient butiner.Un mouchoir retrouvé au fond d'un tiroir encore pénétré d'une vague senteur de roses mortes ressuscite pour la joie de votre coeur un passé évanoui.Jeannette encore plus près de la na- entourée d’une légion d'hommes monumentale qui s’alignèrent devant elle sous le commandement de leur chef.A l’instant, une voiture, qu’on appelle le panier à salade, l'on ne sait pourquoi, car les bêtes qu'on y apercevait toutes frisées qu'elles étaient, ne ressemblaient guère à des laitues.On s'approcha, jeta la pauvre Jeannette toute tremblante parmi des femmes qui poussèrent des cris aigres en l’apercevant; une tomba les quatre fers en l'air dans le fond de la voiture, toutes serraient leurs jupes autoVir de leurs jambes.Jeannette se contenta de déchiqueter quelques chapeaux et d'arracher les boulons qui pendaient par un til après les corsages déchirés.La pauvre guenon git maintenant sur la paille humide d'un cachot en attendant la sentence qu'on rendra contre elle certainement.Elle devra réintégrer le domicile d’un maître qu'elle n’a ni choisi ni voulu, a belle nature la réclame et il lui faudra vivre et mourir en des pièces étroites enfumées, tourner dans le cercle odieux des mortels qui ont perverti leur instinct, —Et voila ce qu'ils appellent la civilisation, gémit la pauvre Jeannette, et 1 homme se croit un animal raisonnable, ô aberration!

> i1 to other nations that might lead to war as their Government, prior to the war, aggressively declared themselves ready to prove to their enemies how capable they were from a military and naval standpoint, of vanquishing those against whom war was declared.The principal European nations cannot afford to maintain armies and navies.Why should they?They have nothing to fear, and the plea of preparedness no longer avails.If they still persist in maintaining unnecessarily large armies .and navies, it is because of the influence which apparently the heads of these services and their sympathizers can exert.Four-fifths of the money, now being spent by each of the several European nations, could be easily saved and expended to more producin' general advantage in other fields, without the nation suffering any less or being more seriously menaced, by prospective enemies, than it is today.It is extremely unfortunate liiat dictatorships have been one of the consequences of the war.Whether these will last, is of course a matter of conjecture.Dictatorship is something that a freedom-loving people will not long tolerate, when the dictator is one who constantly speaks in terms of his country’s glory and inculcates the military spirit, thus inciting those who admire him to regard themselves as a courageous and superior people.The dictator is a menace to the liberty of not only the nation which he temporarily controls, but his neighbours.Notwithstanding the power which these dictatorships wield, they are less a menace than the Hohenzollerns were in the heyday of their power.Dictatorship has a habit of destroying itself and not many years will elapse, before the nations, now ruled by dictators, will assert themselves and send them into exile or deprive them of their authority.I think, judging by the results of the recent elections in Great Britain, that the majority of electors whether they supported the Liberal or Labor candidates, were of the opinion, that the party which asked them to maintain it in office, did not make every possible effort to promote disarmament by reducing in a very considerable sum, the amount expended upon the army and navy.While the average British elector is proud of his country’s naval prestige, and lakes a certain amount of delight in the colourful display of military efficiency by the crack guard regiments, he does not look with favour upon voting millions of pounds to continue in existence, a large army and navy which no longer serves the purpose it once did.He thinks n foolish to continue deluding himself with the belief that his country can remain the mistress of the seas.He feels that making claim to naval supremacy is likely to awaken the resentment of the nations that are as powerful as his own, and interfere with the growth of Unit international cordiality essential to the maintaining of good relations between the world’s principal nations.The writer of the editorial quoted, is quite outspoken, in his denunciation of the Conservative Government for having "talked much about disarmament, but every disarmament conference in which it has taken part has been an armament conference.Only when the United States of America gave leadership, did it become impossible for this Government to refuse the lead so splendidly given.” The Manchester Guardian Weekly is represented as reflecting the sober opinion of the great bulk of the citizenry of England.If it speaks in this way, it evidently feels convinced, that no real effort was made by the Government now defeated, to effectively take the lead or cooperate with other nations to bring about disarmament.Tiie writer further accuses it of studied neglect by saying: “It has spoken of peace and against war, but if war asks for a pound, and peace for a farthing, tho pound is willingly paid and the farthing stinted.'' This accusation against the former Government could hardly be made by so responsible a journal as the Manchester Guardian Weekly, unless it was based upon facts.The facts are, that the defense budget voted by the last Government "’as still so large, as to make the average tax-paying citizen, particularly the worker, ask whether its alleged desire to lrelp the disarmament movement, is sincere.This distrust was made very manifest because of the lack of support given Mr.Austin Chamberlain in the city and constituency which for generations has been the family stronghold.The impression that now prevails is: that Conservative Governments are so anxious to maintain imperial prestige and power, and so fearful of antagonizing the wealthy classes, from which come the officers of the junior and senior services that it cannot be trusted to co-operate with other nations to work for disarmament.It has been rebuked by tiie majority of the electors, because of its refusal to give consideration to tho public opinion, that persists in demanding the outlawing of war Uhd the taking of prompt action, to substantially reduce the expenditures which previous to the war and even today, are still a burden upon the People and a drain upon their depleted resources.In the Canadian House of Commons, a small group have during each session of Parliament asked that the militia estimates be reduced.Although they have not succeeded, the views they have expressed have boon given so wide a publicity, that they arc bound to influence the Canadian people and thus create an opinion as strongly in favour of the outlawing of war and disarmament, as that which has developed in the war-worn countries of Europe and which is becoming increasingly influential in the great Republic to the south.The fervid hope of those who know what tremendous sacrifices wat entails, is that the goal which they are striving to reach, is not too 'listant, and that no long time will elapse, before it will be reached, thus bringing about an era of international peace and concord that will really uud truly make the world a better place to live in for present and future generations.SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1929 PRICE: 5 CENT Dr.Oscar Douglas Skelton The Scholarly and Cultured Deputy Minister of External Affairs.The Week at Ottawa NEW YORK UNIONS CONGRATULATE MacDONALD following the victory of the British !lllnr Party in the recent election, the Gentral Trades and Labor Council of (>w Tork city, through its secretary, ¦unes a.Quinn, sent the following telegram to Ramsay MacDonald, leader 0 l*u> Labor party, in the name of the 700.000 organized workers of New York and vicinity: .„ _ .“I have been directed by the Confiai Trades and Labor Council of Greatei New York and Vicinity to extend to you on behalf of the workers of this city our heartiest congratulations on your wonderful victory, which marks the return of the Labor party to power in Great Britain.” „ When the Right Honourable Ram-ray MacDonald was first called upon to form a Government, he became his own Foreign Secretary.He no doubt felt, that the office was of such importance, that it would be best administered by himself, assisted by the permanent officials of the Department.The Right Honourable William Lyon Mackenzie King is likewise his own Foreign Minister, although otherwise designated.He is officially referred to as the Secretary of State for External Affairs, since the presumption is, that Canada being a Dominion of the British Empire, dealings with foreign governments are carried on through the ministry of the Imperial foreign Office.The importance of the Department of External Affairs has grown very much within recent years.Canada’s! right to negotiate treaties with other lands has given the Department of External Affairs a status and its principal Director a responsibility that requires not only an understanding and appreciation of conditions in other countries, but the procedure to be followed and the tact necessary, in order to successfully conduct negotiations or carry on correspondence between the Dominion and other countries.No one will gainsay the fact, that the Prime Minister has an unrivalled knowledge of foreign affairs, since being an authority on economic, industrial, and other questions, as well as a student of government, he is eminently qualified to properly carry out the duties of his portfolio.As the Department gained in prestige and importance, the need for a Deputy who could effectively cooperate with the Minister, became more manifest.The Deputy must needs be one who is not only a gentleman of the highest educational attainments, but who can likewise give the office that dignity which it demands.The different Deputy Ministers would concur in expressing the view, that the most scholarly and educationally well-equipped of those who are the permanent heads of Departments, is the Deputy Minister of External Affairs, Dr.Oscar Douglas Skelton, who combines within himself not only the scholar and professor, but enjoys the further distinction of being the author of an excellently written biography of the late Sir Wilfrid Laurier.He can understand and appreciate the very many qualities of his Chief and the bent of his mind, since like him, his principal study during his college and professorial career was political economy and government.Dr.Skelton was born on July 13, 1E78, at Orangeville, Ontario.His parents were both Canadians of splendid Irish stock.It is from them, that he inherits the very many qualities that so.early earned for him the distinction he won in the academical lield.He was a most diligent student and spared no pains to make himself a thorough master of the subjects he studied and taught.He went to the elementary schools in his home town and then attended the Cornwall High School.Having made up his mind to acquire such knowledge as would permit him to follow the career he deemed himself best qualified to succeed in, he attended Queen’s University.He continued his studies at the University of Chicago.These institutions conferred upon him the degree of M.A.Ph.D., L.L.D.As a scholar and philosopher, lie no doubt, enjoys being so intimately associated officially with one who like himself, has been the recipient of degrees from several of the foremost universities.The training Dr.Skelton received, was similar to that which gave his Chief so early in life the distinction and fame, which enabled him to successfully not only qualified for the leadership of a great party, but become the head of its government.Dr.Skelton went back to his Alma Mater after completing ills studies, being appointed to the Chair of Political Science.Those attending his classes were proud of being his students because they felt, that Dr.Skelton not only was a very able teacher, but took a very warm interest in those who showed a liking for the subjects he taught.So highly was he thought of by the Governors of Queen’s University, that he was made Dean of the Faculty of Arts.The Prime Minister who had been watching the career of his former Chief’s biographer, was determined when the opportunity presented itself, that he would avail himself of the services of Dr.Skelton in the Department over Which he presided.The Prime Minister, of whom it has been said on more than one occasion, that he possesses in a marked degree the faculty of associating with himself colleagues and officials of ability and experience, knew that Dr.Skelton was eminently qualified by training, experience, and temperament, for any position to which he would be called upon to occupy whether in the Department of External Affairs, or any one of the several branches of Government Service.In 1024 he was offered and accepted the position of Counsellor for the Department of External Affairs.Dr.King very quickly saw that his Counsellor woud make an excellent Deputy Minister.On April 1, 1025 he had him By BERNARD ROSE appointed to his present positions — that of Under Secretary of State for External Affairs.Dr.Skelton not only corresponds with the several governments with whom Canada has relations, but meets the representatives of these governments and his unrivalled knowledge of world affairs, enables him to very efficiently represent his own country.In appearance, one would take him to be the Professor or highly gifted government officiel.His modesty has inspired him with the reticence concerning himself, that is evidence of one who thinks along broad lines and lives in accordance with certain established canons of conduct.Last year he was signally honoured by the University of which he is so distinguished a graduate by being made its Rector.* Canada in view of its every growing importance in the Councils of the world’s nations and the place it has already achieved by participation in the international conferences and the meetings of the League of Nations, when it was represented by Senator Dandurand, must maintain a Department of External Affairs that will not ony be a credit to it, but provide opportunities for the able men who !n virtue of their education and special abilities, are adapted to perform the delicate and responsible duties devolving upon the different Departmental Chiefs, their Deputies and subordinates.Since the Prime Minister has held office, legations specially representative of the Dominion have been opened at Washington, Paris, and Tokio official heads of other countries, but By J.S.WOODSWORTH The Peace Debate t “To teach military

I do not know that I would go quite so far as has the Hon.leader of the Opposition.I am inclined to stress the economic causes of war.I think they are the fundamental causes, and so long as there are economic maladjustments in the world, so long as there is fierce competition between individuals, between groups, between nations and between empires, then so long will we have war.But undoubtedly another cause which lies side by side with the economic cause is the fact that we arc prepared for war, and when there is economic friction the tendency is for us to plunge into war before the people have had time to bring themselves under control.” Mr.Bennett.—“There would be no or four students from each university in Canada into different foreign countries to study foreign affairs.Today we are requiring a certain number of men trained in foreign affairs to be ambassadors, to be trade representatives, and so on.In the future where are these men to come from?I would hope that they would be men of wide experience, men of special training.I would hope that such positions would be open to all.How are those men to be trained?I can conceive of no better way than sending some of our brighter men abroad— Miss Macphail:—And women Mr.Woodsworth:— I beg the pardon of our one woman member.I can conceive of no better way than sending some of our brightest men and women abroad to study various languages, various cultures, and international affairs, as seen from other angles than our own, and then have them come back to this country.Such students would wonderfully enrich our life, and from them we would be able to pick certain men and women who.as the representatives of this country LeMondeOuvrier-The LtborW orld Kédtfé «a collaboration The Official Rllliifual Mouthpiece of the Province of Quebec Orjanlxed Worker» Iy« porte-parole dee ouvrier» orianieé» de 1* Province de Québec Membre de In Premie Internationale Ouvrière d'Amérique Member of the International Labor Proa» «ASTON FRANCO Secrétaire de to Redaction H«oratory, Editorial Department special fund.This makes the whole financial story pass through the treasurer's cash book, and helps to keep the record clear.When money is drawn out.of a special fund, reverse the process.Deposit, it again in the running account and make the final payments by regular cheques on the running account.Sometimes you may want to have a special checking account—say for a ball fund, or an insurance DOMINION PARK OPEN FOR THE SEASON Canada's Greatest Amusement Park.New features, spic and span, and hundreds of attractions for young and old.Bring the family and be happy.All Cars Go To The Park.PARC DOMINION OUVERT POUR LA SAISON Le plus grand pare d'amusements au Canada.Attractions nouvelles et amusements pour les parents et leurs enfants.Venez vous amuser avec votre famille Tous 1rs Chars Conduisent au Parc.a resolution on the order paper in the to reC0Bnize the principle that if we nanu o my hon.fiiend from South-1are to llave peacu we must make some V?, " 1IC 1 1 ,lopcd "ould ke special preparation for peace, and 1 o.scusse , ut unfortunately it was must ^e willing to spend something ,° , lcaclcf- t 'vas the suggestion on inculcating peace and training hat for every $100 spent on war pre-¦ peopIe for a peaci.program.1 say that _.D., .„ !
