[" MON TREAL WITNESS CANADIAN HOMESTEAD The People's Paper JOHN DOUGALL & SON, Publishers.Nuhd Slab = T was Bo exaggeration whem Dr, Ward, representing the British Con- gregutionaiists at the inaugural Council of the United Church of Canada declared that gathering to be the greatest event in Church history since Luther made his celebrated protest.Bomething very like that has beon said in the Witness.It is impossible to invest events with circumstance proportionate to their greatness.There were none but casual witnesses when a professor ia tbe university of Wit- tenberg nalled his theses to the door of the University church.There had been centuries of protest against sacerdotal assumption and sacerdotal corruption be fore that.There bad been Waldo, and Bus, and Wyklit, and Savonarola, and many another.It was only an apisode, but it has become In the world\u2019s memory the crisis of an epoch.In manner of presentation the event of last week had ail fitting solemnity and circumstance con- terred upon it.It was not at all in trap pings and pageants or even in Sunday clothes.If any proceedings had been planned at which the three streams would for the moment preserve their distinctive color, they were loat in a brotherly amd indistinguishable mingling from the first.But spiritual solemnity and elevation were there when some eight thousand devout persons partook in the communion service in form as simple as must bave prevailed after Pentecost.The scene of the meeting takes us rather back to the first ecumenical CouncH of the Church, that of Nicaea, which, though confined to great theologians, met in like manner in a great arena.There has been many an equally larga gathering to.watch a bockey match.It takes quite a aig ent aye to soe the pregnant Import of Toronto Council, upom which tiie bless ing of the Church universal was showered Ly messages from all quarters and by those who spoke for innumerable sympathetic, nay, envious, communions, who saw fa it the opening of the sluices by which the divided tribes of Christendom might, and indeed must, continue to flow together.There were present the representatives of parent and related churches to convey authoritatively their hearty congratulations.There was first, the United Church of Scotland, then the Church of Scotland, then the Wesleyan Church of England, and that of Ireland, and the Methodist Church of South Africa; the Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States; the Presbyterian church of that country; the Congregation- a! Union of England and Wales; and a de legate all the way from the United Church of Southern India, a country in which Church union is making rapid progress.All these speakers seemed to see in what was happening the dawn of a great new Gospel day, and keenly to real ize an enormous responsibility facing tbe Church generally in these days of transmutation when, if ever, the Church needed an almost creative power to give right direction to the develop ments that are tumbling over each other.This condition calls for something besides customary services, administered ordinances and the orderly work ing of machinery which 1s liable to become an illusion and therefore a deadly peril, the condition of religious unreality which our Lord fonnd more malefic and more to be denounced than common crime or common vice.Indeed, when does He ever castigate these?What the Church needs ig not, as it was not in the days of the Pharisees.a better measuring up to \u201cthe law of ordinances,\u201d b'ut a new inspiration, a new experience, and & new sacrificial consecration to the most sublime and most exacting of services\u2014not of the ministers, but the whole church.Unless such a spirit inspire the machine, the mach\u2018ne will devour the church.The only references to differences that were heard, except exhortations to tellowship, were when Dr.MaoGregor, of Glasgow, declared the Church he was addressing to be the \u201ccontinuing Presbyterian Church,\u201d VOL, LXXX.NO, 24, MONTREAL, JUNE 17, 1928, 80th Year C ANADE, wie 1 thy Mag,\" Welding race and race togetiert Union Jack, that wondrous rag, Dear to thoss who've trod the Leather, Dear to those who love the rose, - Blending Irish cross and nation $Vith the crosses of old foes In & Just end fair.relation, Bears no emblem of the men, First to cross the stormy ocean, Bringing faith and plough and pen, ; First to know with deep emotion, Kanada, thy mame, as bome.On thy o'er ships that rooms In their stead-en emblem single, Maple leaf of golden hue, Would announce to all more loudly, .Fanada, thy natieoX life, \u2018And on land, when bells are ringing {To acclaim the end of strife, : When with juy each heart is singing.Canada, is this thy flagl Welding race and race together §Vaving from each roof and crag - East and West, one nation ever!

put a color on That ia why the St George's Cross Is separated from the blue with bands of white, which stand for silver.\u2018The rule may now seem (fantastic, bit it was found necessary, and works well in the present case.and when Dr.Morrison of Chicago representing the Presbyterians of the United said of the non-concurring ele : \u201cThey wil come in God's time; but you cannot make them see uniess you include them in your love.\u201d He saw ln the tone which had prevailed since his coming the earnest of this spirit.A Canadian Flag CIRCUMSTANCE has forced the government to consider an offieial Canadian flag.The same conditions have brought this about as those which led Australia and New Zealand to adopt their own ensigne many years ago.\u2018One flag, ous fleet, one throne\u201d was, and is a glork ous ideal.There can only be one (lag for the Britannic Commonwealth and that flag is the Union Jack.But ister national law requires ships to carry the flag of their country of register.It was to that end and to that end only that Canada was accorded a distinctive flag by the College of Heraldry.The natural heraldic device was to place thé Canadian eacutcheon on the fiy of the red ensign, which was the authorised mer- flag of Britain.The aveyer insignia for a dominion government vessel is the Canadian escutcheon on the fly of the blue ensign.The southern dominions very happily adopted the blue ensign (or common use, a tit and proper backing for their special device, the Soulhern Cross, an enchant ing constellation of five stars unknown In the north, which Australia displays in white and New Zealand in red.Stupid travesties of the Canadian merchant marine flag have been for many years palmed off by flag printers for use on land, placing wreaths and crowns and lions aud what not around a collection of the arms of all the provinces, a chant marine - complication which results in a meaning less blot which no Canadian understands or ever attempts to decipher.If the use of the arms of all the provinces typllies anything it is sectionalism and lack of unity.The first essential of any fag is that it should be easily distinguished at the distance at which a flag is ordinarily seem, The first essential of a national flag is that it should appeal SINGLE COPIES, FIVE CENTS, Subscription $2.00 per year.ally balled and loved.The spot we bave referred Lo is, at such a distance, only a spot, and owing to Irresponsible produc tion, an entirely unwarranted spot\u2014a spot which cannot possibly evoke love or ea- thusisam, and fails altogether of any na tional or patriotic purpose.It might be an academic queetion whether Canada should bave for use ashore any flug but the Unicn Jack.Strictly speaking that is the one right and only flag.But It may be regarded as settled by facts that there Is need for a distinctive Canadian flag.On land there are functions and celebrations that seem to demand the use of a distinc tive Canadian emblem.Conspicuous examples are ceremonial occasions when Tepresentatives of the whole Empire par ticipate.Military parades are, perhaps, the most common.On such occasions, whatever the government says, a Cana dian ensign will be carried.If there be no official flag, then, that carried will be the production of Glasgow manufacturers with its menagerie of beasts, birds and fishes embowered in varied nonsense.The suggestion has been made that for purposes ashore the usage of heraldry would impose the Canadian emblem upoa the Unton Jack itself.For practical and sentimental purposes that would be a confus- Ing failure.No one wants to see the Union Jack defaced.The heraldic difficulties could perhaps be got over by simply substituting the maple leaf for the much bedecked armorial bearings where thèse now appear on the marine flag: and at least substitute that wherever the present reprehensible complex is now seen, while reserving the closer heraldry for military purposes.An Opportunity of Inspiration EVER was there a time in Canadian history when there was greater need for a revived and restored national spirit.There has been an inexplicable, and.to our thinking, a culpable ind.tference on the part of succeeding governments .to so obvious a means of cultivating this as the adoption of a national emblem to which all might be equally attached.The time has come when it may not be further neglected.Insistence on various forma of sectional privilege is developing threats of secession.Something that would develop a national spirit in all Canadians of every class or creed would be a veritable godsend at this time.Such a gesture might be made through the adoption of a truly national flag.One es- blem, and only one emblem, is loved by Canadians from coast to coest, and regarded ss purely Canadian the world over.That emblem is what every Canadian soldier in the (Great War wore proudly, the maple leaf.It is the theme of a ubiversally received national song.The maple grows and is loved in every province.Its leaf will be worn on Do- minivn Day.The substitution of a single golden maple \u2018leaf for the unofficial conglomeration that appears on the \"Canadian flag\u201d now fa use, would be a stroke of genius.Tt would biaze in the sky and would be easily distinguishable from afar.It would symbolize the idea of national unity and ua- tional aspirations.Does any one say it should be green and not yellow?Green cannot assert itself as yellow can.It was a good rule of heraldry that forbade imposing green ou red.In flag \u2018anguage ycl- low stands for gold.The yellow leaf would be distinctive-beautiful.It would represent as nearly as possible the leaf of the sugar maple, the king of all the maples, in that period of the year when its blaze of glorious color is distinctively golden.It would tend to make Ca nada look ahead and work for the future as well as the present.when to achieve her destiny the present mectional ele ments will blend into onc another as har- moniousiy as do the crimson aad the golden shades of the leaves in Oclober.It was the golden maple leaf that adorned the collars of those fifty thousand Cana- diane when they found their last resting place in Flanders tields.It is a serious thing for Canada that this matter of a Canadian flag has been referred to a to sentiment, and should be enthusiastic.committee of distinguished officials.The Two result can easily be a national boom or a national disaster.The adoption of this flag ia not an unimportant question.I fs long overdue.The late Lord Strath cona was an enthusiastic advocate of the maple lear flag.He spoke of it in Brio ain.He gave dinner after dinner in Ottawa to interost statesmen in it.It was generally approved, but there were amaller things with more pull upon legis.tators.It is now « time for clear vision, and patriotic sentiment on the part of this important committee.The right re suit will definitely spced the day when Canada will be in fact.as in aspiration, a land to love.\u201d Coming Alive STUDENT leader in China, in ask.A ing, perhaps vainly.for sympathy from Germany, said: \u201cWe are ready to cooperate with any country that treats vs as equals.\u201d We have here the inward: ness of this new Boxerlsm.As we have said, a student movement is the effervescence of the long suppressed, inert, large ly unconscious sentiment of a people.This utterance was coupled with refer ences to Britain and Japan as the offend- era against whom the movement is at issue.M lis easy to account for young China's sentiment against Japan, who in the first few months of the war.looking upon the epormous human mass as easy prey, made tweniyone demands upon China, which.taken together.meant no thing less than taking possession of the country and using it to her ends.Later, at the demand of the Western powers, she modified those demands.But in spirit they are all there still.and China may not be mistaken in looking on Japan as a dragon with his mouth open, only looking tor a chance to devour her.But how about Britain?It will puzzle the ordinary Britisher to know what she has done to be chosen for the bad eminence assigned to her.True, she was an ally of Japan when Japan made her over-bearing demands.Still those demands are now fn abeyance.and it was possibly due very largely to Britain that they were not pushed ten years ago.But neither Australian nor Canadian need have any difficulty in knowing where the British shoe pinches.Both countries have recoiled from the Chinese in abhorrence, as unfit to enter their countries: still more roughly the United States.The California expression for them was \u201cleprous,\u201d when, a8 a fact.they are among the cleapliest of all the peoples that seek eur coast.If they have never learned the Christian standard of life they are not beyond learning it.This repulsion 1s reason and warrant for the determina tion of these young patriots that their country shall not be manipulated by a power which holds them in contempt.If we would understand what Christendom is up against.we do not need to enquire of the hall-informed telegraphic des patches.We bave only to look into our own hearts and ask ourselves what had to happen.Storm Rumblings S our readers know, the Witness has been looking forward to this ever since the clash of races became conscious on our western border Here was an innumerable people that was for ages under a foreign yoke, strangely mobile, hardly conscious of itself as a dation, indifferent as to who ruled over it so long as it was permitted to toil and live.It was well described as a sleeping giant.What would happen when that nation became conscious of itself, when it be came electrified with the progress and vitality of the western world, as it could not help being?These students repre sent the point of contact.It is a self.deception to put the thing down simply to bolsbevism.That is the present nightmare of Europe, and the tendency is to think of it as omnipresent and omnipo tent.China is, indeed.a well-prepared culture for that germ.If there is a toiler in the world who may claim sympathy of those who are better off, it is the China- man.If there is a worker anywhere of whom the workera elsewhere have to be, and are afraid, it is he.At bottom.It is his cheaper efficiency that, more than anything else causes his exclusion from other countries.It is the sense that in his own country he will atill he the competitor of western labor.that makes western labor wish to inoculate him.One of the largest and most

demon of strife, We evangelise him with the gospel of the Soviet.This ebulllent force surging up trom below meets and .abets the panting patriotism of the educated.The readlest weapon to the hand of that patriolism is the appeal against oapltalstic exploits.tion.But that must not blind us to what our own souls teach us that we would do if similarly circumstanced.These students are no loager restricted te the excellent pedantries of Confucius.They are feeding now on western learning with a fresh hunger unknown in the west.They are fired by the \u2018enthusiasm of Thermopylae and Marathon, Morgarten and Bannockburn.If tiny nations, numbering fewer than one of their cities, were able to maintain their indepsndence, and are.for having done so, held in honor by all the Western world, why sbould Chinese youth be strangers to \u201cglory\u2019s thrill\"?Why ehould China's four hundred mil lions be manipulated by foreigners\u2014for- eigners whose contempt for the Chinese is shouted in legislative halls across the sea.but, in these days, not out of hearing?Unless we can manage to think of the Chinese as made af different stuff from ourselves, our sympathy must go with him in this natural and western-born aspiration after nationhood and for an acknowledged manhood.It Is for differ ent reasons that Japan comes under Chinese condemnation.A man's bitterest foes are they of his own household, but in the major cause of quarrel they will be found on the same side; for Japan's ruling aspiration is to prove her people equal in all worthy qualities to those who look down on them in spirit as well as In person.It is largely to this end that it has been her dream to introduce governmental efficiency into Chins and bring that country up to her own effective standard.Japan is not so silly, as timid people in the United States Congress and elsewhere imagine, as to want to bring on a war between her and the west.The Golden Rule T is, of course, easy enough to diagnose the disease.What ia terribly important, in view of Lhe impending clash, is to find and apply the remedy.The trouble about that is that we only know one cure.It is simple enough; but what hope is there in it?It is just the golden rule: Love your neighbor as yourself.That would be found a complete solvent for all earth's differences.But after two thousand years of proclamation of it, does it seem even possible to appeal to it?Has it any response in the Christian nations who are face to face with those they think of as heathen ones?It is at least fair to ask wbether that rule bas any effective response even in the Christian church, the guardian of that oracle.Oh, yes, of course.Look at all the missionaries who have gone to China, especially are not solving the race question which poms can wave aside.It Is the most threatening one before the world today.We are only indicating the direction in which the remedy is to be sought and the party which will be looked to for a lead.The East in Ferment CTUAL uprisings ln China have been, so far, rather ominous Lhas immediately dangerous.Shanghai ls in a ferment, possibly more dangerous be- causes suppressed.The most spectacular demonstration by students was made in Pekin, apparently with the blessing of Feng, \u201cthe Christian general.\u201d who is va turally a nationalist There have been isolated cases of violence in several of the larger centres but the most disturb- lng symptom is in the fact that reports from even the smaliest towns witness to the anti-foreigu sentiment.The fight for the possession of Canton should not per haps be confused with the larger trouble.Revolting atrocities were committed there on the defeated Yunnanese troops who bad held the city in subjection for many months, by the native mobs of Canton.This was not surprising consider ing the facts.It was as if, in an inter- provincial war in Canada, troops from Ontario and Manitoba had been in posses sion of Quebec, with the Quebec forces across the river.There would naturally be intense hatred of the occupying forces by the inhabitants of the city.While this fight has no visible connection with the antiforeign agitation, it is a reminder that, with numerous well-armed provin- i cial armies loose in China, foreign intervention would be a very dangerous undertaking.Some correspondents believe that there are some sincere patriots who are doing everything in their power to provoke foreign action in the hope of unit ing all the warring factions against a common foe.History records innumer able instances of the unifying influence of a foreign threat.One of the most significant facts is that Chang, the Manchurian war lord, has sent his son with two battalions to guard the British headquarters in Shanghai.This favors the theory that Chang has relations with-Ja- pan.Japan and \u2018Britain are for one res son or another the immediate objects of Chinese fury.It was in Japanese owned wills, of course, that the riots started.But the antiBritish hatred is harder to understand.It is true that the Shanghai \u201cforeign\u201d police are Sikhs.officered by Englishmen.It was thig force that quelled the first riot with mechine guns.But the anti British hatred is harder to hatred is because eighty per cent of the naturally bated concessions.monuments of foreign intrusion, are British, and Britain is, therefore.the symbol of capital ism, hatred of which has been carefully those who flocked there after the perils | fomented, as well as of foreign domina- and dire hardships of the former Boxer | tion.The Chinese

minis ters to go about the world preaching the outlawry of war, while shunning the very first requirement, the mbsolutely necessary precursor of the day of peace.Just pour a littlp love into the world

Lord Haig T a time when men long and pray for peace there is a natural tendency to deplore anything that tends to the glorification of war and warriors.It is to be hoped that this tendency will not prevent the heartiest of welcomes to Earl Haig.who visits Canada bn a few days.At a time of great crisis the British commander in-chief conducted himself in such a way as to deserve the gratitude of the present and future generations of Britishers.Field Marshal Haig is vot a Napoleon.He is not showy.Rather is he alert, efficient, balanced, sincere.He is typical of generations of British gmerals.Their model and guide is Stonewall Jackson \u2014 an American, forsooth \u2014 whose, in turn, was Cromwell.In the days of dreary trench warfare, Halg was reduced to the policy of beat ing the Germans in a miserable mathematical race in man-killing.But when the break finally came the results obtained by the British forces in comparison with their aliles, amply proved the fact that there was more to British leadership tban the policy of muddling through.General Halg\u2019s strokes wers doid, surprising.It was clear that his previous caution was not because of lack of confidence but because of courageous re serve.Certainly he deserves the grat! tude of every loyallst\u2014end & warm Ca- nadiap welcome, Fruits of Procrastination 8 bad been frequently predicted, Nova Écotia'e mining dispute has reached the violent stage.Considering the course of events since the trouble be tween the British Empire Steel Corpor.tion and its men came to a bead in eariy March such s development was almost inevitable.Following a wage reduction of ten per cent a year ago, the men refused & similar cut this year.Im the lu.terval the demand for coal had slacken] and the mines had been working om short time.It was extremely unfortunate that, just as the negotiations were under way the Industrial Disputes Act was declared invalid by the Imperial Privy Council, There was, therefore, no machinery available for applying the principle of arbitration or conciliation to the dispute.When the break came the company locked the ordinary miners out.These in turn withdrew the \u201cmaintenance men.\u201d The company refused credit to the miners through its grocery stores.Destitution was soon acute, but was in a measure relieved by considerable subscriptions from various parts of Canada.Meanwhile, there were pointed intimations from Nova Scotia politicians that no interference by the federal authorities was desired by the province.Mr.Armstrong, the Nova Scotia premier, made futile ef.forte toward setttlement.Finally the men offered to accept a five per cent reduction.This was refused by the company.The men thén offered to refer the whole mat ter to an arbitration board.but this was also refused.Violence followed immediately after this refusal.The miners occupied the central power house, ejecting the company officials who were keep Ing it in operation.The company police later, in turn, ejected the men.A mass meeting was immediately beld, and a large force of the miners moved on the power house.The company's mounted police attempted to disperse them; volleys were fired.One miner, the father of nine children, was killed, and many on both sides were injured.Troops were immediately despatched in an effort to check the outbreak of arson and looting that followed.What the country as a whole will demand will be full light on all the facts of the case.Public opinion bas never been able to solidity in support of either side.From one side we hear that the miners are overpaid and are produo ing less per dollar than of old.From other reliable sources we hear that the wages are on a starvation basis.Miss Agnes McPhail.M.P.\u2026 says the destitution is terrible.Mr.Duff.M.P., says she is entirely mistaken.But certain facts are well known.It is hard enough at any time to induce wage-earners to sc cept wage cuts.It is almoet impossible to get them to do so voluntarily when they are employed by a corporation whose financial manipulations were so notorious and unsound that they were refused a charter by the Dominion government.Under such circumstances there is naturally distrust.There are also ugly rumors \u2018concerning corruption funds by which the provincial politicians are supposed to be \u201cbought.\u201d No attention would be paid to these, if tt had not been already established that the company had spent large sums in unsavory deals with Newfoundland politicians.In any event there must be an investigation, Who gave the company authority to raise s cavalry corps of its own, armed like soi- diers?Mr.Murdock the minister of labor bas gone to the ecene of hostilities to act as arbitrator.His services, which were repeatedly refused by the company have now been gratefully accepted.it is a pity that only bloodshed and destruc tion could effeot that change.Publicity ae Rate Control IR WILLIAM PETERSEN'S suddea death adde a tragic chapter to the story of the fight for falr ocean fre!ght rates.There can be little doubt that dis appointment over the parliamentary coms mittee\u2019s report hastened the end of the career of that doughty fighter of combines and \u201cconferences.\u201d Still 14 was characteristic of the man that his state ments following the decision should be op timistic and concerned with the prospects of success rather than complaints against the recommendations.The committee suggests to parliament that responsible auditors continue their investigations into the results obtained by the conference shipping lines as well as those control led by the Petersen Interests.But of more importance :6 \u2018the fact \u2018that ae Me iy Come REL - principle of ocean rate control by means of subsidized competition is definitely ignored it not condemned.The commit- (ce recommends that the Railway Commission be enlarged to include one expert on shipping.The board would hear proposals for rate changes from either shippers or carriers (to give the companies their technical name), and would recommend certain rates as fair.Thess rates could not be legally binding on the carrlers, few being of Canadian registry, but the committes believes that the weight of public opinion would assure acceptance of the findings.It looks like a scasible way of dealing with an interna tional question by means of a national tribunal.The principle involved is that applied to industrial disputes hy the Lem- jeux Act.Should the arrangement prove as effective in this new application as it tas been in wage disputes, the net re sult of the Preston-Petersea negotiations will have been well worthwhile for Cana da.Perlious Precedents VERYONE sympathizes with the thousands of Canadians who suffer ed 1088 in the crash of the Home Bank For one thing they were the innocent victime of a gang of financial pirates mas querading as legitimate business men.For another thing they are of a genera tion that has heard in every high school in the land that the Canadian banking system is \u201cthe best {an the world,\u201d and that \u201cone bank is as good as another.\u201d Nevertheless the government, by voting fire millions to belp make good the losses of these depositors, has adopted a singu- lirly dangerous precedent.It is equive- lent td a declaration that government inspection is not only a safeguard but a guarantee against loss in inspected busi.acsses.If the principle were logically ap plied it would make the government Kk- able for damages whenever a grocer sells short weight food, or a coal-dealer s-lls underweight loads™of coal, simply because the government appoints an Inspector of Weighta and Measures.It is hard to see how the government can be «xpected to pay this \u201cmoral claim in vyuity\"\u201d when the sole justification for doing so is a supposed mistake in judg ment on the part of Sir Thomas White, the wartime finance minister; though it has been established at the trials of the Home Bank officials that the executive vificers were able to conceal the true s'ate of affairs even from some of the cirectors.À serious side to the question concerns the deposits of the province of Untario, and those of the city of Toronto.In the case of the province, a former provincial treagurer is serving a prison term for entering deliberately into fllegal transactions with the Home Bunk.In the «ase of the city, one politician at least ¢lalmed to have earned moneys for Influencing increased deposits In the bank.One result of this part of the relief blll\u2019 will be to make the whole Dominion re spousible for the losses of a provinolal rovernment whose officials deliberately betrayed the public trust.Government's Limited Liability HY was it that a great majority of the members of all parties voted fur this measure of relief?! Was it the Political instinct that saw the demand of the sufferers and their friends to be a live wire in politics while the voting away uf a few millions would not touch the lierves of the country?The Quebec legislature evidentiy calculated on such im difterence on the part of the electorate {0 misappropriation when in tbe most larefaced way it took [fifteen millions of the people's money not only to relieve the customers of a wrecked bank but the shareholders and creditors of a concern which had been sucking that benk to death.Or was it à sense, behind all tech- hicality, that banks are of necessity a na tional institution, whose security can be, as in Canada it has been, a national boast; that therefore, the Canadian gov- framemt owes it to all simple peopie who Lave no means of judging the security of banks and who bave to depend on gov.«Tnment supervision for the safety of their deposits and the validity of the pa- Per currency which passes from hand to hand; and that, therefore, a government that had to take over bankrupt railways, «s being a vital part of the national ma- «hinery, ia also in come measure liable for the right operation of institutions of Mdonal scope and significance?The a MONTREAL WITNESS AND CANADIAN HOMESTEAD, JUNE 17, 183.fact that the measure does not completely relieve the sufferers, as did that Quebec proceeding, but only recoups the los- ors in a large share of their losses puts the whole relief given into the category of an act of grace rather than of unlimited liability.There Is no saying what tbe Senate will do.It has been openly challenged by the Prime Minister to slay the act in its position of irresponsibility to the people, and thus lose votes for the party that would so act.Perhaps the wise thing to do would be 80 to amend the measure as to make it purely one of relief to private deposit ors and not one Unpiying a liability to those whose losses were due to participation in the bank's ways.Criminal Misrepresentation T almost appears as if there wete à systematic attempt on the part of some correspondents or London newspapers to brand our premier as separatist and anti- British.It is à matter on which the British peoyle are naturally Intensely sens).tive and easily territied when 8ir John Macdonald shouts \u201cA British subject I was born, à British subject ! will die.\u201d an appeal to the peopie no more rele vant to facts than Mrs.Micawber's \u201cI never will desert you, Mr.Micawber,\u201d It will be remembered that a few years ago one great newspaper featured Mr.King's statement that Canada had three alternative destinies before her: as a continued British connection; as a part of the United States; or as an independent sation, The whole effort of the article was to make it appear as if the alternatives were being discussed as equally desirable and possible.As a matter of fact the premier had added a clear cut and eloquent statement declaring himself as wholeheartedly in favor of the continued British connection.Last week, either by error or design, a far more serious misrepresentation of facts was made.The British note to France had just been despatched.There was much of uncertainty as to the definite commitments implied in the new British attitude.But it was important that nothing should dis turd the agreement between France and Britain which bad only besn reached after weary months of negotiation.The effect of the publication of such a despatch, purporting to show that Canada disapproved the arrangement can be easily imagined.What actually happened is shown by the following extract from Hansard, the official parliamentary record: Mr, J.B.WOODSWORTH (Centre Wianipeg): With regard to the matter referred to yesterday by the hon.member for East Calgary (Mr.irvine), wili the Prime Minister tell us whether Can- ads is party to any secret pact with France In regard to the hinelnd] Right Hon.W.L.MACKENZIE KING (Prime Minister): The answer is, no.One can understand partisan bigotry which will not stop at any length te injure opponents; one can understand carelessness, or stupidity.It is hard, never theless, to understand such a deliberate distortion of facts under such circumstances.A Wiss Departures RITAIN has created à new cabinet portiolio and department of state.A Secretary for ths Dominions will han- die all business between the home government and the self-governing parts of the Empire\u2014those in which consultation and negotiation have completely replaced any measure of control, a condition involving entirely different needs from the traditions of the Colonial Offtce, the relations between which and the dominions were never particularly happy.The very word Colonial and its im plied connotation have been an offence ever since the first dominion was com: stituted\u2014more so whea there was a dis- tinet isferiority of status than now, when that has been, in theory, at least, removed, and as far as possible in point of fact.But a greater weakness was the fact that a department which was chief ly concerned with governing crown colo nies and \u201cnative\u201d territories had diffi culty in adjusting itself to the viewpoint of ultra sensitive and sel serting do minions.Mr.Lloyd George invited the Overseas premiers to communicate with his goverament direct by cable.This pre cedent has since been followed.There is a great mass of correspondence, how ever, that passes between the various coveraments by way of the Colonial Of- fice.Such matters, while of less imme diate import, have all to do with Empire and world issues.!t is interesting to note that this developmént is not In accord with the widely discussed sugges tions in a recent series of articles in the Times.The proposal of that journal was to make the high commissioners imperial ambassadors whose duty it would be to keep the British Foreign Office posted on the attitude of the dominions on pending questions.The Baldwin government has doubtless realized that this would impose another heavy burden onthe Foreign Office.Tbe task of coordinating the now disjointed relations between the nations | of the empire while keeping in current touch with the representatives of the dominion governments needs the whole time and energy of a statesman of the highest constructive and diplomatic ability, ; Present Day Perlis H ISTORY will decide wheiber Mr.Coolidgs is that exalted mediocrity described my his critics, or the strong, silent executive idealized by his partizans.It is impossible to read the presi dent's speech at the Arlington national cemetery on Decoration Day, without realizing that the speaker has some of the elements of true greatness.Mr.Coolidge spoke to his countrymen with a critical frankness that has rarely been exceeded by eny important personage, and probably never by a president.There were tendencies, he said, apparent In the national life which wouid lead to certain disaster unless checked.One of these was the wholesale disrespect for law as evidenced by the murder and general erime record of the United States as compared with that of Britain.Anotber was the growth of legal loopholes that had allowed the superior wealth of one party in a lawsuit to render the boasted claim of \u201cequality before the law\u201d an empty myth.The chaotic divorce law situation he described as scandalous.He polnted to evident weaknesses in every realm of government, local, stale, and national.But his most solemn warning applies equally to Canada as well as to his own country.The tendency of individuals, of localities, of states, and of the nation to refuse responsibilities that are rightly theirs constitutes a grave modern peril.Every earnest observer must agree with the president in this.The parent who neglects the spiritual instruction of bis child in the vague hope that church or school can ever replace home influence ts courting certain disaster.The city that coastantly looks to the province to solve its problems is similarly betraying its trhst.Cases of provinces or states doing likewise to the federal government are so notorious as to require no comment, while in Canada the Dominion not Infrequently sets the ball rolling the other way.But the greatest peril is in the renal of individuals to discharge their own duties of good self-government.To imagine that organized activities can ever relieve the individual of personal responsibility is the height of folly.In stitutional efforts are a necessary supple ment for those of Individuals\u2014but they are mere illusions except\u2019 in so far as they enable individuals personaly to exercise thetr individual citizenship.Thie {s eminently the case with the Church.It is worse than a delusion where people count on It to carry them or thelr families.to heaven, or their country into the Kingdom of God.In Canada we are all fam- (Har with the inefficient business man who attributes his troubles to \u201cthe government.\u201d It would appear as if the cen- turiesold proverb, \u201cPut not your trust iu princes\u201d could well read: \u201cDon\u2019t trust to organised machinery.It will only do what you make it do.Don\u2019t ever trust the Church unless you are yourself a live wire.\u201d Kellogg Versus Calies ITH almost startling suddenness the United States goverament has sat a most peremptory note to Mexico.Cases of the confiscation of foreigu prop erty are cited and the Callies adminis tration told that it must set its national house in order if it wiahas continued sup port from Washington.This develop ment is rather surprising.Conditions In Mexioo have been somewhat more stable since the electioa of Gensral Obregom to power, followed by his alternate, Presi dent Calles, than fer à long time.Appar wntiy there fe room for complaint, how- _ THAR ever, as the note follows a hurried visit ot Mr.Shefield (the United States ambassador to Mexico.It will be remem bered that relations between Britain and Mexico have been anything but cordial for many years.The present administra tion has never been fully recognized by London.However, when Mrs.Evans, a British subject, was murdered about a year ago, It was Washington that urged moderation\u201d ofi the British government, Evidently Mr.Kellogg.now Secretary of State, who was In England at the time of the Evuns murder, believes that the day has come to protest agu'nst the series of expropristions.What the United States is objecting to is not the right of Mexico to break up the large estates, held by for elgners.but the right to do so, either within, or in spite of the law, and without any compensation.His strong language naturally, is resented in Mexico.Presi dent Calles declares that Mexico is mob \u201con trial before the world,\u201d as Mr.Keb logg had atated, and \u201cabsolutely rejects with energy imputations which in es sence would only mesa an insult.\u201c Twilight of Imperialism A STRANGE affinity seems to pre vail in Europe between royallsm and murder.Germany has lost & number of her Soblest statesmen\u2014men of the sort that save a nation-\u2014by assassination, as nobody doubted, at the bands of the royalists who seemed able to enilst sons of the gentry for the dastardly ser vice.And now we bave & royalist leader in France publishing a threat that it the goverament persists in exams ining royalists for arms, he will order the assassination of the Minister of the Interior whom he has personally warned.It such a letter were written to a private party in this country the writer would be guilty of a crime.If sent to & responsible minister the charge might be tres son.It is probably hard to define tres son but in Britain it always Included threatening the lite of the King\u2019s minis ters.There is no King in France, but France still has ministers, and Mr.Maur ras\u2019s threat is a full coufession of trea son.In earlier times it would have far ed badly with him.He is more outspoken lthan were the German imperialists, who dtd not thus publicly incriminate themselves.The French royalist party largely coincides with the successors to the old French noblesse, which is the French name for the titled class.The French also have a fine chivalrous proverb, \u201cNoblesse oblige,\u201d which means that nobility implles an obligation to do what is noble and generous.That proverb must be of much older origin than those lurid days of a century before the Revolution when the nobility became syco phantic to the last degree.Or is the present age of assassination a lower stage still?Mr.Maurras's published threat had ita natural reaction on the Bolshevik head-bunters who make no claim to nobility and who have taken the gunman's pri- vHege of shooting tirst by assassinating royalists, Was Barnum Right?6 HEN people set out to get some W ais for nothing they always end up by getting nothing for something.\u201d A few years ago the people of the United States and Canada were urged by un scrupulous or misguided brokers to buy German marks or German bonds.In epite of the fact that sesponstble author ities everywhere advised against these purchases thousands whom such advice could not reach were misled into purchasing these decorative bits of paper.When this paper became finally worthiess and was declared by the Reichstag to be of no legni value the brokers turned thelr attention to other continental securities.French francs were supposed to be \u201ca good buy.\u201d They would surely be redeem ed some day.Bonda repayable in francs were offered for sale surprivingly cheap as compared with their (ace value.Agais the innocent wers taken in.Now Mr.Cailmux the French finance minister has declared that in all probability the paper franc will be stabilised at about four cents.Before the war it was worth its face In gold, about twenty cents.Ia other words, those people who bave purchased francs from time to time at their depreciated value in the hope of getting twenty cents each for them are not going to be paid more than four cents.In stead of getting tack two or three times what they pald It is the old story. FOUR Professions] money-changers may be able to make a living by buying and selling currency, Likewise the professional race track followers can \u201cbeat the game.\u201d But the ordinary man who gambles on & fairy.proapect is pretty sure lose.There are good, stable, industrial Investments in Canada which pey fair and sure divi dends.Yet dealers continue to fatten on the earnings of ordinary wage-earnem and farmers whose vain desire for extra.protits outweigh their wisdom.Parents as Protectors AN we produce in Canada a better, bappler, and more efficient race?The Social Hygiene Counc.says, yes, provided we immediately encourage the practice of \u2018sensible sex education of children by parents.That organization has just completed an investigation into the best way of sccomplishing this desirable - object.The recommendation is that parents should unfold the wonders of life to their children, at first by pature study.Emphasis is lald on the desirability of imparting definite protective knowledge to both boys and girls before they pass the age of ten.The suggested plan of | education is not confined to the home.\u2018The school teacher and the doctor both have a part in this program.But the main respons\u2019bility rests with the parents.It is safe to say that if the pro gram of the council were followed by parents, the reproach, in this respect, that \u201cmy people are destroyed for lack of knowledge\u201d would at least not have to be said.Knowledge surreptitiously obtained comes with the curse of prurience upon it.Compared with its predecessor, this is the age of outspoken frankness.Young people openly discuss many things with a freedom that surprises and shocks their elders.This condition is wholesome, but has dangers.lt is impossible to pre- veut children from acquiring a wealth of Knowledge concerning matters that were carefully kept from former generations.This makes it imperative that the knowledge should he good and not be tainted with the mischief to conscience and the whole physical nature inseparable from forbidden fruit.It is necessary that chil dren bave a healthy outlook on such matters.Nothing but good can result from complete knowledge provided it is imparted, as in the Tuxis boys program, in auch à Way as to show that sex is like a fire which in its proper place is a great and necessary blessing to life, but which when uncontrolled can wreck life and happiness in an incredibly short time.Mental and moral degeneracy and phby- sical disaster lle \u201cright around the corner\u201d and the only sure way of avoiding it is to \u201ckeep to the right.\u201d The advan: tages of keeping right and the deadly harm of going wrong are bot all obvious to the young.The cost of error is often learned In a school of bitter experience «ll because parents, pastors, teachers, doctors have neglected a duty.If it is all-important to instruct the young from the time they begin to be curious about sex, it is needful that the lessons be graded to the age and keep pace with the.developing consciousness, Probably it is better to be ahead with the lessons than behind the development of the child.It is also of the utmost importance tbat the lessons be weil plan- ped and well understood by the parent or other teacher.To this end such ought themselves to make earnest study before having to face their task.To that end books are obtainable which are free from the condemnation of playing on children\u2019s curiosity and their fears.One such book is \u201cKeeping in Condition\u201d by Harry H Moore.It can be obtained from the Ryer eon Press, Toronto.There are other tood works known to all good booksellers.General anxiety and disappointment is expressed over an official announcement that tbe number of unemployed in Great Britain increased during the week ending June 6, by 60,778, the most formidable addition in a long time.Great Britaln's unemployed now total 1,247,300, which is 244,386 more than a year ago.When the beat wave was at its helgbt in Pembroke, Ont., last week, with the thermometer registering 92 degrees, frost was found at a depth of 18 inches in the ground, and several cakes of

even fo those things hidden from the everyday world.| Zululand.MONTREAL WITNESS AND CAN THE ZULU {By Jas.W.Roch) There is something especially pleasant in the visits of the Prince of Wales to the scenes of \u2014old, unhappy.far-off things, And battles long ago.One of the recent despatches teils of a ceremony which took place in KEssowe, Rssowe, Ekawe, Etshowe\u2014 pronounced something Ike Eccheway\u2014 was much in the public eye about forty.seven years ago.The Boers in thelr great trek from Cape Colony came in touch with the Zulu nation.There were disputes over boundaries, there were raids, there was bloodshed.At last ths Boer Republics agreed to annexation by Britain on condition that Britain protect them from their dangerous neigh.bore.Cetewayo, the Zulu king, told the British Commisstoner that he \u201cdidn\u2019t know what the Queen wanted with people such as the Boers,\u201d and binted that it would be a good thing to divide the Dutch territory between the British and the Zulus.Finding his suggestion was not favorably received, he pressed for an immediate settlement of the boundary dispute and requested leAve before the Zulus should settle down to peaceful avocations to make \u201cone little raid\u201d on the Swaji tribe, as pntil bis young men had \"washed their assegals\u201d tbe young wo men would not consent to marry them.Greatly aggrieved at the refusal of his naive requests and at the continued delay over the boundary delimitation, Ce- tewayo and his warriors recommenced thelr raids on farms and Immigrant trains.Finally a British army entered Zululand.They found the Zulus \u201cfoemen worthy of their steel\u201d and, moreover, foemen who knew every point in the war game in their own wild country.British detachments were cut off and In Zulu parlance, \u201ceaten up\u201d, the Prince Im- pegjal of France, who was serving with the Eritish was killed.For long weeks a British force was penned up in the fortified camp at Ekowe, while a column penetrating the enemy's country to their relief flashed encouraging messages to them by primitive heliograph.There is a legend to the effect that the popular hymn \u201cHold the Fort\u201d was suggested to P.P.Bliss by the Ekowe incident.FL nally the Znlu power was overthrown, {ts military system broken up and in 1887 Zululand wss taken definitely under British rule.Old snd New The Ama-Zulus are à notable people, à branch from the Bantu stock.and shar ing to the full in the mental and pbysical development for which that great color ed race is conspicuous.Jn old times they occupled much the same position among the South African tribes as that held by our own Iroquois among those of North America.Their great aad ter rible king Chaka in the early days of the nineteenth century organized the whole nation Into a terrific fighting machine.Under & more than Spartan course of training each boy passed through three stages of progress.\u2014a savage approximation to the mediaeval page, squire and knight\u2014to the proud elevatdon of \u201cringed warrior\u201d.Divided Into regiments, armed with light but effective weapons, with a developed system of strategy, and a rigorous d!scipline which prescribed a cruel and ignominious death for cowardice in battle, it is no wonder that within a few years the Zulus bad \u201ceaten up\u201d the surrounding tribes, sparing only the pick of the boys and girls as recruits tor their power.Rider Haggard describes a reception tendered by a Zulu regiment to a distinguished white visit or: \u201cBy now the regiment was gathered on the river bank, two thousand men or more .Every man began \u20ac beat his ox-hide shield with the handle of his spear.They beat very softly at first, producing a sound like the distant murmur of the sea, then harder and barder, till its volume grew to a mighty roar, that echoed along the water from hil) to hill.The mighty noise sank and died away, as it had begun, and for a moment there was silence.Then at some signal every spear flashed aloft fn the sunlight, and from every throat came the royal salute\u2014Bayete.\u201d It would be as nearly as now possible fn such a scene, and in such a manner, that the Prince was welcomed by descendants of Chaka's and Cetawayo's war riors at Essowe.It 1s probably the last gathering of the Zulu clans, in such large scale, that will ever be seen, for the Zulus, like other wild people are putting on the garb and manners of civilization.There is al ways something pathetic in the passing of the old and picturesque, especially is an age of transition awkward and pain- fui.Doubtless Chief Solomon, in black brond-cloth trimmed with leopard-skin, is not as imposing a figure as was his ancestor Cetowayo, io bis war dress.Un- doubtediy,

as traders others have shown ability as learners and as teach- ors.Many are devoted and lutelligent Christians.Seif-Government Follows Self-Advance- ment.The response of the Prince of Wales to their greeting was in his usual sympathetic and happy vein.Referring to their \u201cvery creditable aspiration\u201d toward seilgovernment he reminded them that unchallenged competent discharge of re- sponsib lity was its first essential.He urged them to continued effort for the peaceful development of thelr country.\u201cYou have here all the necessary mater- lais\u2014the Government in touch with

Sasebo naval station for immediate departure for Shanghai in case of further riots.: The Japanese minister at Pekin was instructed to lodge a strong protest to the Chinese Government concerning the damage done to the Japanese consulate and private property at Kiukiang by the mob on Friday.A report that the Chinese mob tore down Japanese flags is being investi gated with a view to demanding an apolo- &y, if true.Japanese students planned a meeting in Tokio on Monday night.but were forbidden by the police to discuss the Chinese situation or to a-lopt resolutions.The Japanere press continues to blame England for the disturbances and is accusing the British of attempting to lay the whole blame on Japan.\u2018The Tokio Nichi Nichi also attacks the United States and France for their aloofness, accusing Amer- fcan miselonaries of assistitig the Chinese student demonstrators and American cor regpobdents of misrepresenting Japan as having a band in the action fn China LABOR PROTESTS USE OF FORCES Cries of \u201cbands off China,\u201d brought hunm- dreds of members of the Independent Labor Party to their feet at a big mass meeting in London on Thursday, in protest against the use of armed forces in the trouble in Chins.A dramatic touch was given to the gathering toward its close, Several representatives of Chinese and Japanese workers now in London were presented to the audfence.They declared thgir friendship, pointing out that Japanese and Chinese workers were in reality comrades.The meeting stood and cheered for several minutes and then passed a resolution calling on the powers to give China factory legislation worthy of European standards and the immediate withdrawal of the Armed forces.The resolution also demanded an immediate revision of the system of extraterritoriality and recogmition of the fullest rights of the Chinese people to carry on their own affairs.SHOOTS LACHINE RAPIDS IN CANOE After Douglas Haines, ot Montreal, on Saturday afternoon

The Afternoon Session Signing the Roll\u2014Interesting Presentations.Almost as large a gathering as that which had attended the morning ceremon- jes was present in the afternoon, it being estimated that some 7.000 persons were present.Three addresses.pregnant with hope and thankfulness, abounding in deep faith and courage.from a prominent cler- fc in each of the three uniting Churches.and the signing of the roll by some 350 delegates from all over the Dominion, were the principal features of a service afire with enthusiasm and the challenge of the future.The service was opened with the sing fng of Psalm 145.Then followed a read: ing of the Scriptures by Rev.Richard Roberts of the American Preshyterian Church in Montreal, and a prayer by Rev.W.T.Gunn.In a neat speech.Rev.Dr.R.P.Mackay.formerly of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, present ed to the United Church, through the Chairman.Rev.Dr.George C.Pidgeon.a silver and gold mounted gavel, contain

Ît will mark a new forward step in the great new missionary enterprise.Another historic and s!gniticant event in connection with the inauguration of the new Church was the presentation to the chairman of the rolls of delegates in the First General Councll of the United Church of the three Churches\u2014the Coa- gregational by Rev.Dr.W.H.Warriner, the Presbyterian by Rev.Dr.W.G.Wallace.and the Methodist by Rev.Dr.T.Albert Moore.In addition, a small roll of delegates from the General Council of Local Union Churches was tendered to Rev.\u20ac.8 Elsey.The first piece of furniture toward the farnishing of the new home of the General Council was presented by Rev.Dr.ND.M.Solandt.on belialf of the publishing rooms of the three uniting Churches, and took the form of a handsome memorial oak table.A few minutes later the ex- chiefs of the uniting Churches affixed their signatures with the pen donated by Mrs.Carman in memory of her husband, Rev.Dr.Albert Carman, to the delegates\u2019 roils of the (ieneral Council of the United Church of Canada.While the 350 delegates moved slowly to the platform to sign thelr names to the rolls two hymns were sung by the vast concourse, On the motion of Rev.Dr.Warriner, seconded by Rev, Dr.Mackay, it was unanimously approved that s cable of \u201ctriumphant congratulations\u201d be sent to the misstonary districts.Unanimous approval also

the United Church Address by Rev.Principal Clarence MacKinnon, D.D.\u201cToday we stand on the threshold of a new epoch in our Canadian life,\u201d sald Rev.Clarence MacKinnon, D.D., of Pine Hill Theological Seminary, Halifax, repre senting the uniting body of the Presbyterian Church, in a scholarly address on \u201cThe Task of tbe United Church in Canada.\u201d The speaker was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause, and at the close received an ovation which lasted for several minutes.\u201cHitherto our religious institutions have heen largely borrowed from other lands.\u201d said Principal MacKinnon.\u201cThey reflect the peculiarities of these countries, acd bear the marks of their internal struggles.There has until now been formed no distinctly Canadian Church.Today we stand on the verge of a new venture.The spirit of our Dominion has framed for itself a new ecclesiastical home, through which its young.energetic lite will fiud more ready expression, retaining all that is most glorious in our common Christian heritage, but free, we trust, from those formalities and fetters that are the property of a bygone age.And the question we have to ask at the present moment Is how best can it minister to the spiritual life of cur country, how can it subserve the eternal purpose of God?What that purpose is, our Lord Himself declared, when he commanded us to \u2018seek first the Kingdom ot God and His righteousness.\u2019 That is \u2018tbe far-off event to which the whole creation moves,\u2019 a kingdom Ja which the will and character of God are supreme.All else is but the scaffolding.To attain this Divine likeness is the crowning mission of the Church.This is the final goal that the new United Church must set before itself, nr, speaking for the moment of Canada, it is to assist in bringing in the Kingdom of God here.For this mighty enterprise it brings with it a sinmilsriy apt equipment in the special traditions and characteristics that the combining Churches bring with them.In the Days of Cromwell \u201cThere is that stout, sturdy, independent type of manhood that belongs to Congregatlonallsm.What it has meant in British history every citizen of our Empire will proudly recognize.Never was British prestige more powerful or religion mora respected than when his army, train ed on \u2018the new model,\u2019 with reverent and praying soldiers, \u2018lronsides; iron souls they might have beer called, swept before them the proud chivalry of thelr en emies.Canada needs this type of mind and religion.True, under our freé and brighter skies the sword of persecution rusts in its sheath, and we trust shall rust there until it be consumed.But Milton's noble ode to Cromwell contains these warning words: * \u2018Peace hath her victories No less renowned than War: foes arise Threatening to bind our souls with secular chains.\u2019 \u201cAnd it is against these new foes in our imperilled land.its disunion, its conflicting and competing interests, its pray- eriess disregard of those lofty ideals that are the soul of & nation, its immersion in the pleasure of the passing moment, that we need the warning voice and the uplifted hand of those praying battalions that bring to us the spirit and tradition of Oliver Cromwell, The Story of Nathan Bange \u201cThe second partner in tbe present Union, the Methodist Church, brings to us among its other potable gifts and graces New that passionate evangelism which has made It such a benediction to the world.One of its earliest and most typical preachers in Canada was Nathan Bangs, a figure that captures the heart and kindles the {mag\u2018vation.We love to think of him on that occasion when weak and emaciated from a typhus fever he stood before Bishop Ashbury, not to ask for respite in his work, not to beg for an easler field.but, hearing a Macedonian cry from the few straggling settlers that were threading their way into the thick forest of what was then the far West of Ontario.Bishop Ashbury looked at the wasted figure, then saw the light that kindled in the eye, and the wise old Bishop said, \u201cThou shalt go.my son.\u201d Nathan Bangs went like a flame of living fire through these pioneer settlements, often gleeping on a pallet of straw, sharing the simple meal of some humble set tler, his salary practically nil, his faith gloriously triumphant.And if Method- {sm is a mighty force for righteousness and the Kingdom of God today, and ff our country owes It a moral and spiritual debt beyond our power to rspay, it is In no small measure due to the zeal and single hearted devotion of Nathan Bangs and many others like him.Religion without a passion for souls and a Gospel of salvation for the sinful and the dying, is a bit of useless mechanism, cold aud dead.But wbat a living institution this United Church is going to be when there sre harnessed together the strong and sturdy qualities of the Puritan with tlie fervid evangelism of the Methodist.Presbyterianiem's Contribution.\u201cThere fs yet a third partner to this new alliance.It is the Presbyterian.but a certain innate reticence naturally chains the speech of a Presbyterian in commenting upon its contribution.The bias is likely too great to leave the judgment fair.May 1 heetitatingly suggest, however, that perhaps the chiet contribution of Presbyterianiam is \u201cJeanie Deans.\u201d By a single word she could have kept her sis ter from the gallows, she could have prolonged her aged father's lite, she could have saved her respectable home from dis- grace-but that word would have been a falsehood.No human being could ever Lave detected it, but God would bave known it.Rather than utter a falsehood she accepted the full weight of the calamity.Calvinism is not \u2018without its inconsistencies and perplexing consequences; it has been the butt of not a little rid- fcule, but it produces upon the believing spirit a profound and awful sense of God's presence and authority.\u2018\u201cThou God aeest me' was its constant watchword.Perhaps in these days of subtle temptation, when through our modern: devices the kingdoms of this world and the glory of them are spread out before s0 many eager eyes, this severe virtue may not be a needless contribution.Forth to its Appointed Task \u201cFurnished with these splendid quali ties from each of its historic factors, the United Church goes forth to its appointed task, not to make for herseil a glor- fous name, but to serve the life of our Dominion and to help it to achieve that destiny and fulfil that mission to which we belleve it has been called in the great purpose and providence of God.And, above ail, it shall be the business of the United Church to seize that young, energetic, surging life so characteristic of our new country and to transform it by the power of the Gospel until it shall become a light unto men and a blessing to our civilisation.And may He, the great King and Head of our Church, and the Bishop of our souls, guide our new venture of faith amid the perils tbat surround it.and strengthen it with might by His Indwelling Spirit until our desires shail have been fulfilled and our prayers answered and the Kingdom of God shall have come.\u201d \u201cGod\u2019s Marching Orders\u201d Address by Rev.D.L.Ritchie, D.D., \u201cGod's Marching Church\u201d was the subject of a militant address by Rev.Principal D.L.Ritchie, D.D., of the Congregational College, Montreal, which raised considerable enthusisam in the vast throng.\u201cIt wag a fair vision that lured one across the Atlantic\u2014the vision of a united Protestant church that sought to har- nionize three forms of church government, and trusted itself boldly to the free spirit of God for leadership\u2014a church firmly entrenched within the citadel of the Christian faith, and courageous enough to claim and to give all the liberty that belongs to the children of God.That was the vision of the United Church of Canada, and it explains why some of us are here to day.\u201cTrue it Is that in seeking to make that vision a fact it has been a little blurred, and we deplore the separation of brethren whose presence with us would have made one of the crowning achievements of modern church history, and inspired churches in other lands to hasten with bold stride to the same blessed goal.Yet without these brethren, and, alas, in some senses in spite of them, there has been accomplished to-day that which will stir joy and hope In all Christian lands.\u201cToday Canada gives leadership to dl- vided Protestantism all e world over, and with unfaliering conviction we state that we are rendering the greatest service in our power to give to Canads and to the Kingdom of Ged in this word because we are endeavoring to fulfll the desire and obey the Wili of Christ our Saviour.Our Lord has spoken, and we are humbly endeavoring to obey His orders.We are here to march with God, confident that tomorrow is our possession.\u201cSuch purpose at once determines what manner of Church the United Church of Canadas must be\u2014a holy Church.What use is there in being any other kind of Church?Without holiness we can only be an ecclesiastical organization, great and powerful for certain purposes, perhaps, but without God's richest gift for men\u2014unblessed aod unable to bless oth- ers\u2014only a burden, if not a tyranny, in the world mere ecclesiastical organize ations have usually been.Without bolf- ness no Church can serve the world and so conquer and save it.If we wrestle with it on its own plane it will throw us every time.The Church of God can easily be too much at honie ih the world.We must never forget it must ever be 8 large part of 8 Church's business to kecp the pilgrims\u2019 song ringing in the hearts of men, and thelr gaxe fixed on their abid- tog Fatherland.\u2018Holy Father, I pray not that Thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that

more efficient.and & happier race?Thls is the question that the recently formed Division of Education of the Canadian Society Hygiene Council under Professor Peter Sandiford and A.D.Hardie, M.A., have set out to answer.For months these experts in conjunction with an Advisory Committee composed of biologists, hyglenists, psychologists, educationists, and noted figures in the cburch and women's organisations have been searching for am answer which is not mersly theoretically acceptable, but is definitely practical throughout the Dominion.Findings are to be Iater embodied in official publications of the Division of Edu- eation of the Social Hygiene Council, but a forecast of them is now available from recent pronouncements made by the directors of this department.The answer to all three aspects of the question is yes, but the end ln view of attaining better health, greater happiness and usefulness, as well as a prolongation ot human life, in this country is dependent bere and elsewhere.on the somewhat slow process of education of the whole people in what life is and how it should be lived.Starting with the thesis that 12 one entire generation can he fully educated in ali that scientific standards of personal and social hygiene may mean to themselves and children, it is postulated that the succeeding generation will be an improved race.In the opinion of these experts and thelr notable Advisory Committee the question will be shown to resolve itself, in its final analysis, into the problem of educating parents, because parents are the teachers in the pre-school years, a period of tite now being recognized as the most important for not only laying the foundation of health, but of morals and character as well, The report will emphasize the point that when parents are taught to realize that a child is made or marred physically, mentally apd morally before he ever sets foot in a school, there will be a much greater readiness on their part to know and to teach the science of life.A fundamental recommendation in the report will be that instruction of children from very early years shall be given in suitable form for thelr limited understanding but with neither evasion or sentiment, through such sciences as botany soology, physiology and household science with more advanced knowledge of & protective character imparted not later than the age of ten to both boys and girls.The paramount importance of training chiidren from babyhood in right habits and proper attitudes of mind will be em- rhasized, while the dangers of aloofness or s'lence about vital subjects on the part of patents will be pointed out along with the need of establishing confidential contacts with their children, and ot implanting In them gradually an ineradicable respect for {bemselves, the family and the race, Throughout the recommendations of this report will run the conviction that proper education of the young will depend first on instructed parenthood, secondly on the active co-operation of school, church, and medical fraternity in ensuring a logleal continuation of the work of building up a paperation of instructed youth, and thirdly on the tmperative necessity at all times ¢f keeping away from an over-emphasis on cx, while offering instruction to allay all natura) curiosities and recreation or other wholesome activities to provide for both physical fitness and healthy mindg in the young of the race.HYGIENE.CHEAPER AND BETTER THAN BEER {To the Editor of the Witness) Sir,.\u2014There are other beverages that are cheaper and better than beer.Pure milk at 10 cents & quart is much cheaper than beer at 96 cents a pint or 10 or 15 cents à glass.and milk is nourishing to the human system, whereas beer is detrl- mental, Pure water costs much less than beer and is a necessity for the human body.Whereas beer is not.required at all.Fresh buttermilk can be obtained for 10 cents or less per quart, and is beneficial to the kidneys and liver, whereas beer costing 10 cents or more per glass, when drunk to any extent is injurious to kidneys and liver.Lemonade at § cents a Slass is useful as a medicinal beverage.\u2018whereas beer and

people will do well to recommend the beverages that are cheaper and better than beer, and help to educate people against the drinking of beer and other alcoholic beverages.Milk is our best all-round food.It in the most perfect food we have for human diet.Milk tastes good, it is easily digested and is very nourishing.It makes bone, brawn, and blood.The vigor and suce of the people depend largely upon the amount of mlik used.A glass of milk contalus & mixture of all the Important things that make np a mixed and complete meal, as obtained from meat eggs, sugar, cereals, oils and fat.Children

Sir,\u2014I am glad to see that \u201cOntario\u201d has replied to my letter, for this problem !s sufficiently important.I advise him not to feel the least hesitation in criticising my ideas.I do not speak merely to advance personal motives, for I have a lucrative employment which provides me sufficient for a living, so that I need not returs to the farm to teach tbe work to my sons.But I speak on behalf of the country, which received me and many other immigrants.1 speak on behalf of future generations, and tbe welfare of the country, for if agriculture declines, everything suffers.It is high time to examine the question and as the Witness is read by many, competent and inSuentla! people, who are in a position to study and solve such problems, 1 ask them to act to the best of their ability.I heartily endorse \u201cOntario\u201d in his letter of May 20th.1 must givé credit to the government for what it has done for agricultural workers, in selecting immigration auk- able for this pursult ard in aiding them to establish themselves.But all this does not improve the present situation of Canadian farmers, The remedy is to induce men to abandon city lite and return to the farms Let us not favor commerce and industry to the detriment of agriculture.Let us pause and consider before it is too late.I close with these Words ot Warning: \u201cGo to now, rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.Your riches are corrupted and your garments are moth-eaten.Your sold and silver is cankered and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, it were fire.ure

your attitude toward the high tariff conditions maintained in Canads.I ear nestly anticipate the time when such conditions will be reversed.1 have profited in business in Canada because of prices | malatained by its system of tariffs, but I can honestly say that if a straight issue or vote could have been taken at any time on the question of tariff vs.free trade, 1 would have supported the latter, cr have lost my f-respect.How it is that the advocates of high tariffs convince themselves that the extension of it and the increase of it can produce general prosperity is beyond comprehension.The logical outworking must be the exact opposite.Recently an Alberta journal offered $126.00 in prizes for the best papers on how to develop Alberta's natural resources.This journal can onty think in tariff terms while [, and maybe many others, can only record our opinion tbat lower cost of living and consequent cheaper and more contented living conditions are the only possible solution of the question.Advocates of high tariff must admit, i they allow themselves to think at all, that the greatest asset of Canada is her natural resources.Any or all improvement in the condition of those employed in the development of tnem must be an improve meat in those resources and a consequent certain advancement to themselves commercially.We are compelled to the conclusion that fair commerce and fair play is not the object of high tariff advocates and they cannot\u2019 be called patriotic.Without improved conditions for farmers the very existence of permanent hired men on the farms cannot be expected.If the farmer camtot pay the hired mar- ried man enough to eaable him to live, in his own home there wil be no permanent hired men on farms again.Discus.slon of other plans Is simply waste of time.Wishing you all the success do- served.W.J.THOMPSON.Lloydminster, Sask.VOCATIONAL VACATIONS (To the Editor of tbe Winess) Sir \u2014Everyone whose vocation Is monotonous or indoors is In need of a vacation from time to time.For such people absolute rest would prove unhealthy sluggishness.Chauge of scene and personal environment and change of occupation would often prove the greatest blessing.Vaca- ticns commonly mean expeditions in search of pleasure, and are often so costly as to tax, and Indeed overtax, the pockets and poasibly the consclence of the geeker.And after all, the pleasure sought is often as illusory as the will 0\u2019 the wisp or the oasis in the wilderness.If vacations were planned for thelr variety of usefulness arrangements might be made for exchanging services not only to mutual satisfaction at a minimum of expense but to many unforeseen advantages and pleasures.The city man might zo farming for his board and the farmer's son in his off season come to the town for a visit to the home of the city man, possibly to work for a while in the city man\u2019s business.The farmer's daughter and some city school teacher might make reciprocal arrangements of some kind, and 80 ou.Granted that even exchange of cour- tesles would have to recognize that living in the city, where every item of food had to pay transportation and middlemen's charges costs more, perhaps the farm can, ofter more in the way of health than the city.The real difficulty is as to an agency through which such reciprocal exchanges ; could be advantageously effected.Could the churches not do it?Why should a young man of good character and health not ask his minister to write to a minister of the same denomination, it there be ome at the country place to which the young man desires to go, asking It he knows a farmer who would like to have such a visitor for such and such a time in exchange for hospitality in the city or simply in exchange of board for work on the farm.As a rule, these reciprocal arrangements would naturally be between a town and its own farming region.But we could imagine some very advantageous exchange between western wheat farmers and eastern mixed farmers.Such exchanges would tend to knlt city to Country, and west to east, and in a general way to broaden the horizons and sympathles of the people of Canada.IDBALIST.Quebec, June 10:26.THR SEVENTH DAY (To the Editor of the Witness) 8ir,\u2014In the Witness of May 13th, Mr.NINE Davidson takes me to task because of some things ! said about the Sabbath Day and the law of God as delivered to Moses at Mt, Binal.Mr.Davidson quotes me as saying, \"We wers carcful to mention that the keeping, not the existence of the Babbath, ended only for believers in Matt, 29:1, as the resurrection of Christ.This was repeated five times In our letter.Then unbelievers were warned that It was not #2 for them, and they were counselled be- couse of this, to flee for sheiter to Christ the only refuge for the law-breaker.The uubellever is a debtor to do the whole law, (Gal.3:5), even to kecpingethe Saturday, the Seventh day Sabbath if he is determined to be saved by Iaw-keeping.After quoting us as above, he goes on to say, \u201cMr.Paul is -surely old enough to unuer- stand that no Christian is foolish enough lo think be Je saved by law-breaking.\u201d Then agaln with reference to the Seventh- duy-8abbath, he says, \u201cMr.Paul thinks the Christian will be justified for so doing.\u201d To the first of these two statements of his I want to say | assent entirely, for we are indeed \u201cold enough\u201d to know (hat no one will be saved by law-breaking.Then baving said in plain English, that Christ is the only Refuge or Saviour, I cannot un- derstasd why Mr, Davidson interprets me as meaning that law-breaking is the Sav- lour, unless it is that he wishes to sat up a man of straw of his own making, that he may have all the glory of knocking it down, As to his other statement that I think a man is justified by breaking the law.{ did not even mention that great subject.1 understand that justification by biood, Rom.5:9;) by faith.(Rom.5:1;) works, (Jas.2:24;) by words, {Matt.12: 37;) and from ali things, (Acts 13:39;) while inseparably connected with the question of Salvation, are also five entirely different trutks.My understanding of thesg questions, however much misunderstood, is that the sinner instead of being saved by either jaw-breaking or law-keeping, is suved, 50 far as he himseif is concerned, because he believes in Christ Instead of his own ability to keep the law of God.I belleve this because of what is writin in John 3:36, \u201cHe that believeth on the | Son halh everlasting life, but he that be- lieveth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him\u201d And again it is written in John 6:29, \u201cThis is the work of God, that ye believe on Him He hath sent.\u201d i Rom.3:20 puts both sides of the case this way, \"Therefore by the deeds of the | law shall no flesh be justified in His sight.\u201d Vs.23 gives the reason, \u201cFor all | have sinned and come short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God hath set forth to be a { propitiation through faith in His blood, \u2018to declare His righteousness for the re- ! mission of sins that are past.through the \"forebearance of God.To declare 1 say.as this time, His righteousness, that He rtight be just and the justifier ot Him which belleveth in Jesus.\u201d It ia plain from these verses that as far | a3 salvation is concerned there are no law- \"keepers in our country, for \u201call have sinned.\u201d So salvation must be obtained in some other way than by law-keeping, since none keep it.Jas.3:2, says, \u201cIn many things we offend all.\u201d and again in ; Jas.2:10 we are told, \u201cFor whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend ir one point is guilty of all.\u201d So sinners l are saved and justified (not dbergnse of + law-keeplog or law-breaking) hut \u201cfreely by His grace, through

Is Increasingly Serious Boycott Against British and Japanese Goods - National Fund to Help Strikers - Great Demonstration in Pekin.Telvgraphing from Shanghal, the corre spondent of the London Daily Mall repre- seats the situation there as increasingly serious.A strong body of Chinese opinion supports the movement in favor of abolifh- tng the foreign concessions and abrogating the treaties.At a meeting of 20,000 Chinese on Thursday it was decided to begin a boycott against British and Japanese goods.The meeting gave the Chinese comm'ssioner- of foreign affairs twenty-four hours in which to comply with a demand tor funds to support strikers, who are arriving from all parts of the country.Everybody seems to be giving to the fund.Feng Yu Hsiang, the \u201cChristian general\u201d has donated $3.400,000 and many colleges are going with: out meat for the purpose of ralsing money $0 help the strikers.A nation-wide strike 1s threatened unless there is a setliement of the trouble.A despatch to the London Daily Express om Hong Kong, says British river steem- ors were arriving at night from Canton, crowded with refegees.Some of them re- posted that they were fired upon aud bad woauded passengers ob board.The strike situation In Shanghai on Thursday became acute on the riverfront when coastal steamers suspended sailings, leaving this class of shipping virivally psr- alysed.Twenty-eight vessels are tied up for want of Chinese crews.In the business and residential districts, however.the situation continued to improve, despite desperate efforts of agitators.Chinese stvtdents charged with being involved in recent disturbances here were ordered at the conclusion of their trial.to furnish bonds guaranteeing their good behavior.The Chinese Foreign Office in a note de clares that the authorities of tbe foreign concessions, at Shanghai should proceed at once to raise the state of siege exist.ag there and should re-embark all foreign marines, disarm volunteers and police at Shangha! and liberate all prisoners.It also says all lostitutions that have been closed or occupied by foreign forces should be restored to their normal condition so that order might be restored as soon as possible.Pekin Professors Make Protest A protest concerning the Shanghal riots signed by the professors of the National University at Pekin has been received in official quarters.It is pointed out that it is a mistake to describe the police of the international settlements of Shanghai as \u201cBritish-controlled.\u201d True, there is a large proportion of Rritish officers, but the police of the International furce are under the contro! of the international municipal council which happens at the present moment to have an American chairman, Ster- Ming Fessenden.Responsibility for the police action during the prolonged distor bances, it Is argued.rests with the council and its chairman.\u2018The manifesto also gives a much higher estimate of the casualties\u201470 Chinese kill- od, 300 wounded and no foreigner injured \u2014than any report recelved so far.Justification of the strong action taken by the police must necessarily be a matter of opinion, but information received In London suggests the police were in a very tight corner before they fired on the mob.| It war a good deal more than a strike riot with which they were faced.and its con- section with a mere industrial dispute in quite indirect.The mob as it surrounded the police station were inflamed by t's eirculation hand to hand of anti-foreign pamphlets of an Inflammatory description, and they showed every sign of rushing the police.Foreign Steamers Fired On Foreign steamers were fired upon on Friday as they moved within the fighting lines established by rival military leaders who continued battling for Canton, which is now hd by the defending Yunpanese army.One Chinese steward on the steamer Saion was wountied severely when he was struck while sboard the craft.While the gunfire continued from both sides, after a night of continuous shooting- neither army had rained ground.The de fending forces were anxious to attack Ho- nan, but the project couid not be promoted owing to lack of vessels, all of which are held by enemy forces.Steamers were procesding to Hong Kong PILLAGE IN CANTON Revolting scenes of murder and pillage took place in all parts of Canton, foflow- ing Its capture on Sunday dy the attacking Kwang-tung and Cantonese forces under Bolshevist officers.The surrendering Yunnapese troops ia many cases were beaten to death by the Kwangtung forces.In some cases the winniag forces shot the defeated soldlers or threw them into the river after desting them with bamboo, stomes and rifies.No quarter was given, although the defeated troops bad voluntarily given up their arms.Innocent persons were stoned and beaten by mobs and their bodies are strewn along the roads.Treachery in Ranks After taking the city the winners began looting.which was not confined to sta tons \u2018of opposing army forces, but extended to homes of noncombatant cltl- sens.Even petty articles of household property were taken in the campaign of terror.The principal cause of the defeat of the Yunnaness army was the treachery in the ranks of the Kwangtsi troops, who quit for a cash consideration.The leadership of Russian officers was also s factor, + The attacking forces landed 2030 soldiers at Tungshan and from that point they attacked, leaving the defending forces withont river transport facilities and therefore unable to lausch a counterattack.Considerable damage was done to build- imgs by heavy gunfire.Several hundred casualties resulted from tbe fighting.Thousands of Cantonese troops, all wearing red neckties, are pouring across the river in pursuit of the fleeing Yun- naliese.ANTI-BRITISH DEMONSTRATION IN PEKIN Chinese students, merchants, shop keepers, and workmen, in the largest demonstration made in Pekim during the presest troubles, on Sunday went to the foreign office and demanded that the Chiness government sever relations with Great Britain and instract the Tuchan of Hankow forcibly to Lake possession of the British concession there.This move followed the sending by the British legation of a lengthy reply to the Chinese note cf protest over the shooting of a number of Chinese last week during an attack on the British coacessjom in Hunkow.The reply declared the Chinese impression that the laws of humanity were disregarded by the British is completely erroneous; that on the contrary the British were defending their lives against a murderous mob invading their settle ment after having already killed ome foreigner, a Japanese.Refusing to admit that any responsibility rests om the Brit- ith authoritien the reply cites a previous warning against allowing the anti-Foreign agitation to go unchecked and asked that energetic measures be taken to repress it.KNIGHT OF THE GARTER EARL OF OXFORD

distinetion in recent years Former Premier howored.vas * ab auptra bte dan dt The note concludes with an expression of hope that the Chinese foreign office will lssue a statement giving a correct version of the incident and thus dispel! the atmosphere of prejudice which it says haa been created by exaggerated and mendacious stories.Treops Guard British Consul The British consulate general in Tientsin continwed ox Sunday to be guarded Ly special troops of Chang Tso-lin, the Manchurian war jord.These troops were brought into the British concession on Sunday, after 25,000 students had conducted demonstrations in the mative city as a part of the special arrangements made by the Chinese authorities and the British municipal council te prevent possible trouble in the concession.Chinese Offered Assistance by Soviet .Yang Hsi Min, Yunnanese commander.told press correspondents in Canton on Thursday, that Soviet Russia bad offered the Yunnanese $10,000,000 and 60,000 rifies with appropriate ammunition, provided a certain agreement was signed.General Yang said the offer was refused.He did not say what the proposed agreement contained.FRENCH PREMIER FLIES TO MORocco

the Riffan invasion.Abd-el-Krim.the rebel chieftain, apparently desirous of providing M.Painleve, the French premier, with an adequate re ception on his arrival in the fighting sone, made an attack upon the French along a sixty-mfle front.Several small posts had to be abandoned by the French, including Aouecour and Achrkane, blockhouses north of HA B!- bane.Other enemy elements crossed the Ouregha river east of Kelaa des Siess, and another Moorish offensive was sifrt- ed in the direction of Ouezzan, in which very important enemy groups were enraged.Native reports reaching Melilla may that more than $00 rebels have been killed in fighting near Marnisa.French air planes assisted in the operations.A Spanish squadron.consisting of the battleships Atfonso XIII.and Jaime I, with the destroyers Alsedo and Velasco have arrived at Algeciras, and after coaling will proceed to Morocco.THE FRANCO-BRITISH AGREEMENT Prime Minister Baldwin made aa effort in the House of Commons on Wedneaday afternoon to mest the criticism belay directed ia England against the proposed security pact between the Allies and Germany, a step toward which has been made tm the Franco-British agreement at Gea.eva on a basis of negotiations.Mr.Baldwin explained that the pact wouid be bilateral and not @enilaterai.and that the Rhine barrier could not be invoked by a nation gullty of treaty violations.No pact with Germany had yet besa made, and none would be made without giving the Commons full opportunity to discuss it.CANADA AND THÉ EUROPEAN SECURITY PACT \u2018The London Dafly Express, Lord Beaver- brook's paper, Ia an editorial on Premier Mackenzie King's reply in the negative to the query pat by J.8.Woodsworth, Labor member for Centre Winnipeg, in the Can adian House of Commons, as to whether Canada was party to the security pact with France.in regard to the Rhine boundaries, éescribes Premier King's reply as a final and fateful pronouncement the gravity of which can hardly be exaggerated.The Premier of Canada has given Great Britain serious and Irrevocable warning that if it goes on with the pact it must do so without the Dominion, the Express says: \u201cWhat Canada sayy to-day,\u201d the Ex a DE: GABRIELE D'ANNUNZIO Who, report says, will succeed Premier Mussolini as leader of Fascist Movement.press continues, \u2018other dominions may say to-morrow.If any dominion government veatured to give sach a pledge, it would certainly fall, therefore Britain muet choose between the French pact and the solidarity \u2018of the Empire.The dominions will simply look on silently, reserving complete freedom of the military guarantee if it has ever to be pat in force.\u201d Secretary Kellogg has authorized the statement that selther Germany nor any Allled Government has asked the United States to act as custodian of the suggested European Security pact.State Department officials further indicated their be lief that it is unlikely that any such re quest would be forthcoming, explaining that it should be well known that the United States would not be a party to such a pact, nor be responsible for it tn any way, us custodian or otherwise.Foreign Minister Briand returned to Paris on Thursday evening from Geneva with the text of the French answer to the German proposal for a peace pact in his pock et as approved by Foreign Secretary Chamberlain and the British Government.It is his intention to send the answer to Ber- Un and discuss it with his parliamentary colleagues later.PESSIMISM PREVAILS IN GERMANY Not only în her economic situation but also fu the political field is Germany feeling pessimistic and gloomy.Reports persist that something approaching an economic crisis confronts the country, To these are now added prophecies that the Lutber-Stresemann Government may soon face a crisis which may bring its downfall.The Socialists still see a menace to the German economic structure In the dif- ficalties of the Stinnes firm despite the reassuring statements issued by the leading banking circles.Against tbe Alarmist implications ints mated by the Vorwaerts it mast be borne in mind that it was explicitly stated a few days ago by

Injured - Looting of Company's Stores - Troops Sent.The strike of the 12,000 con! miners employed by the British Empire Steel Corporation fa Nova Scotia which was pre cipitated on March 6th following & breakdown in negotiations to agree upon à new wage ucale for 1925, and which has pursued a comparatively orderly and unovent- ful course for thirteen weeks, took a new and dramatic turn on Thursday, when two clashes occurred between the corporation police and striking miners during which | the strategic point of the colliery system, the powerhouse at New Waterford, was captured from the miner pickets by a surprise attack at dawn and recaptured by the miners at noon, The police were reported to have left thelr barricades and sortied out to meet the miners, sald to be about 300 strong.The mounted men were soon unhorsed and dispersed, while the foot police scattered, but not before several volleys had been fired with at least one fatal result.The men drove ouf the maintenance workers and resumed con- trdl, stopping all operations of the power plant.Four British Empire Steel Corporation police offfcers are patients in the Ross Hospital, Sydney, suffering from severe injuries and twenty-five others are confined to thelr different homes throughout the county with injuries about their head, face and body following the battle with the strikers.Gilbert Watson, a miner, and war vet- efan, 1s lying in New Waterford General Hospital elose to death from the effects of a shot In the abdomen and Injuries to the liver.Ronald J.McDonald, a coal company electrician, received a more ss vere beating than any of the police officers, he being badly smashed up about the head and face.He is now in the Ross Hospital, Sydney, and may lose the sight of an eye.Statement by Captain of Police Captain D.A.Noble, in command of the British Empire Steel Corporation police, stated that the British Empire Steel Corporation police officers went to the New Waterford power plant on Thursday morning, to protect the maintenance men who were endeavoring to start the power plant to give water and light to the citizens of New Waterford and the hospital patients in that town, as well as to start the pumps and fans In the various collieries to save them from destruction and thus provide work for the miners themselves later.The police confined their duties entirely to that end until it came to a point where they had to defend their lives.After all efforts falled, and the mob was gaining ground, the police used thelr revolvers, firing in the alr to see it that would not check their advances.It was only when shots were fired from the mob that the police used the guns for more deadly effect.\u201cOn behalf of the police under my charge, I want most emphatically to deny that they surrendered their equipment to the mob.The condition they themselves were in, as well as the condition of their clothes when the affray was over showed very plainly that a terrific struggle had taken place before they were rendered helpless by the many different weapons which were used against them.Their own weapons were forcibly taken from them.As far as the police were com- cerned, I never saw a finer body of men, nor did I ever see men who displayed greater courage than they.Belng ontnum- bered fifty-to-one., at®the start and later 100-to-one, they showed indomitable cour age and fought until they could fight mo longer.\u201d Looting and Incendlarism Looting.destruction and incendiarism on Thursday evening and early Friday Homing followed the riot at New Water ord.Four Dominion Coal Company stores were looted, shop fixtures damaged and thousands of dollars of foodstuffs and clothing taken or destroyed.The wash house at No.12 colliery, New Waterford, was destroyed by fire shortly after eleven o'clock on Thursday evening and on Friday morning at eight o'clock, the engine house at the Hub Screening Plant, New Aberdeen, was also destroyed.Some time befors midnight the Water ford power plant was entered, switch boards torn from the walls, instruments destroyed and other damage of a serious nature done.No.14 colliery store at New Waterford was looted, sometime after eleven o'clock and at the hours of twelve and two o'clock a large company store at New Aberdeen was practically cleaned out.A mob raided the company store at Re Serve about midnight and got away with about $3,000 worth of stock.Soldiers are Stoned A special train trom Hallfax with 500 troops was met by large crowds of mipers rm at the various stations It passed through in the northern collieries district, but no hostile demonstration was attempted until the troops were passing through the eastern section of Sydney Mines, where A group of youthful strike sympathisers pelted the care with rocks.On the outskirts of Sydney the train was stopped and the engines changed.It then moved Into the plant of the British Empire Steel Corporation preparatory to proceeding to New Waterford.The troops wera equipped with steel helmets and all the accoutraments of active service.Looting Continues The announcement that Hon.James Murdock, Minister of Labor, was leaving for Cape Breton in an endeavor to medi: ate the differences between the British Empire Steel Corporation and the United Mine Workers of America district executive.the movement early on Sunday morning of a detachment of troops to New Aberdeen, for the purpose of guard: ing the power station, belleved to have heen menaced by striking miners, and the further looting and burning of corporation stores, in both the northern and southern areas, were amopg the more important developments In Nova Scotia's Industrial struggle over the week-end.Sudden Death of Sir Wm.Peterson The death of Sir William Petersen was announced by Chairman Kay in the agriculture committee of'the House of Commons on Friday afternoon.Sir Willlam, who had been in Ottawa for the hearing of the apecial committee on ocean rates, was lll only fot a few minutes.Death was due to & sudden at tack of angina pectoris from which Sir William had suffered for some time.He was In his 70th year.The body will be sent overseas for interment, probably at Sir Willlam's home on the Island of Eigg, in the Hobrides.Sir William first came to Canada in 1893 in connectjon with a shipping project of carrylug cokl from Cape Breton to Montreal.Subsequently in 1897 he secured a contract with the Dominion Government with a subsidy of £153,000 a year to run the Whitney service of passenger stoamers between Canada and England.That service did not materialize owing to opposition from tbe shipping community.In 1904 he established a line called the Franco-Canadian Line, between Canada and France and London, but Sir William gave ap the enterprise.Then in 1907 he siarted a line in connection with tbe late Sir Willlam Mackensie between Rotterdam and Canada.This line was developed and became the Royal Line, which was eventually transferred to the Canadian Nor thern Rallway.Sir Willlam's latest agreement with the Canadian Government was for the establishment of a trans-Atlantic line of ten steamers between Britain and Canada.Under the contract, which was signed late last year by Sir Willlam, and by Hon.T.A Low, as representing the Canadian Government, Sir William was to receive a subsidy of £276,080 a year and the Can- adlan Government was to control the rates.It was provided in the contract that it would come into effect only oa approval by Parliament.There was strong opposition to the contract and ft was referred to a special committee of the House of Commons.By.a dramatic coincidence, the committea reported its findings to the House only about an hour before Sir William was stricken.While not specifically recommending that the submidy should not be granted, the committee In its report took the ground that opportunity should be given to Sir William to demonstrate the practicabilit of the corrugated vessels\u2014a new type o steamer which he proposed to utilise in the service.The recommendation was interpreted in political circles as involving à holding up of the contract The London Observer, commenting on the sodden death in Ottawa of Sir Wil lam Petersen, renowned British shipown- or, says he was one of the most remarkable men and one of the most valuable citizens whom England acquired trom a foreign couniry.Danish, with a strain of Irish blood, he never forgot his pride in the land of his birth and looked the north- menthe man of ships and sea, the paper it is rumored in

Ormstown has ever had came to & close.Increased entries in all divisions of livestock, and fine weather favored the exhibition and brought the attendance to « bighwater mark.Montrealers did well in cattle and horses: Miss Viau's string of exceptlon- ally good hunters and high-steppers cleaned up la ail classes, while Mount Victoria ponles from Hudson Helghts.Que., won all the championships in the Shetland divisions, as well as giving a pecial exhibition in front of the grand and with their famous high-stepping \u201cJolly Boy\", champion of a score of exhibitions.MR.T.B.MACAULAY In Holstelns, Mount Victoria Farms, T.B.Macaulay's establishment, performed a feat which has probably never before been equalled.With a selection of six head from his herd, he won senior and grand champion cow prizes with a three year-old heifer; first yearling bull calf, this animal later winning the junior and reserve champlonship, silver cup offered by the Bank of Commerce for the best Holstein cow; first in dry cows; first and second for conformation in the record of performance classes; second in mature cows in milk; second in two-year-old bulls; fourth with junior bull calf; and first in three-year-old cows in milk.Mr.Macaulay balances his strenuous duties as president of tbe Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada\u2014the largest lite company under.the British flag\u2014by farming on a large scale as a recreation.Incidentally, or is it of main purpose, he !s doing much to improve the live stock of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec.CANADA'S CLAIM TO ARCTIC ARCHIPELAGO Canada\u2019s claim to the northern archipelago was asserted in the Houze of Commons on Wednesday by Hon.Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior.Tabling a large map, Mr.Stewart said that the Canadian claim was to islands lying north of the Canadian mainland up to the North Pole.The limits of Canada\u2019s claim, as indicated on the map, formed a great triangle with the mainland as the base and the North Pole as the apex.The west ern boundary was a continuation of the boundary between Canada and Alaska: the eastern, took a line up Davis straits between Canada and Greenland and then followed long.60 west to the Pole.Mr.Stewart roughly defined the territory claimed by Canadas as that lying north of Canada, west of Greenland, between 60 and 142.Mr.W.G.McQuarrie (Conservative, New Westminster) drew Mr.Stewart's attention to claims of the United States, as set forth in news despatches.\u201cI see they claim the North Pole,\u201d remarked Mr.McQuarrie.\u201cAre we going to let them bave It?\u201d Mr.Stewart said he had no remark ta make about claims of the United States.Canada claimed the islands north of the Canadian coast between 60 and 142.He presumed that the United States would claim any islands north of Alaska.\u201cWe don\u2019t claim the North Pole.We claim up to It,\u201d sald Mr.Stewart.Mr.Stewart went on to say that be was anxious to extend the work In the north because he did not want to let people trom other countries go in and establish any claim.If expeditions from other countries wished to go to the northern islands, the least they could do was to take out permits before crossing territory which certainly belonged to Canada.The whole township of Mediks, in eastern Manitoba, 1s inundated, causing 500 persons to vacate their homes when the

HOMESTEAD, JUNE 17, 1988.-~ SEVENTEEN \u2014 The fourth of a series of adoe:tis:ments prepared by the Canadian Pulpwood Association to show the facts about the proposed pulpwood embargo.Obvious Flaws in the Proposed Embargo NE of the most obvious flaws in the Osrriment for a pulpwood embargo lies in the fact that it would impose one line of action to cover conditions as varied as the geographical location of our several provinces Consider the same method as applied to the medical profession.\u2018\u2018Insulin\u2019\u2019«ays the doctor, \u2018\u2018is one \u2018of the newest and most efficacious of remedies.1 always prescribe Insulin.\u201d ; \u2018\u2018But, doctor,\u2019 proteats the patient, \u2018\u2018it is my eyes that are troubling me.\u201d \u2018\u2018No matter,\u2019\u2019 says the doctor, \u2018\u2018I have every faith in Insulin.\u201d .But faith in a remedy, whether it be medical or legislative, is not quite sufficient.It must be not only a good remedy, but one that is applicable to the peculiar necessity that has arisen.Sovereign cure-alls are hard to find ; and legislation that would apply one regulation to govern an industry whose units are spread over some four thousand miles of territory can hardly be equitable for all The circumstances of the various units of this industry are radically different.The availability of power and transportation facilities; the nearness to, or distance from consuming markets, the conditions of ownership, the prevalence of certain menaces, the manner of growth, the variety of the growth affected ; all these factors introduce variables that it is impossible to govern, equitably, by one sweeping legislative measure.Legislation, of the sort, that might, in certain cases, be merely an annoyance to a freehold owner with a fairly dependable local market for his spruce close at hand; might, on the other hand, impose a crushing handicap on the owner for example whose resources are entirely in poplar, for which there is, virfually, no market in Canada, Any measure, therefore, of this nature, that is By RALPH P.BELL The proposed Pulpwood Embargo is inadequate to meet the widely varying Geographical and Sectional Differences, inherent in the physical character of this great country.THE PROPOSED EMBARGO WOULD BE MEETS 5 VILA IN A NUTSHELL two or three hundred perhaps\u2014and might bring a certain additional prosperity to the section in which it was located ; but what good would it do to Nova Scotia?To give employment to these few score of men, and prosperity to these one or two localities, you may have brought financial loss and perhaps even poverty to fifiy thousand owners of freehold land, whom you have shut off from the free market to which they are justly entitled, After gil, \u2018he matter of freight rates and transportation routes is the determining factor in the question.Our Canadian mills ean only operate on such wood as the freight rates will permit to reach their doors, It is idle for us to argue that we ean economically change the ordered course of our commercial intercourse, by imposing restrictions that take no account of these essential factors, What Restriction to Canadian Buyer Has Meant F ANYONE is disposed to challenge the - statement that the Canadian mills would offer a lower buying price than that now obtainable on an unrestricted market, consider this ease: In a certain section of Nova Scotia, woodlot owners were selling their logs to the Jocal raw mill in lengths suitable to manu- acture into laths.They received for their wood $4.00 a cord, They were thirty miles from a railroad and had no other outlet.But an American buyer of pulpwood came into the section and began to purchase.Immediately, the price went up to $8.00 and $10.00 a cord.If that eager market was now closed, is there any doubt in anyone's mind that the price to those sellers would again be $4.00 a cord?And is it a bad thing for Canada that (Canadians should get #10.00 a cord from an American buyer rather than $4.00 from a Canadian?Will pulpwood conserved in British Columbia benefit a mill in Quebec?Will the fact that a woodlot owner in Nova Seotia is robbed of his only market, help the paper mills of Ontario?Will the fact that the settler in Quebce impesed on the country as a whole, and that takes no sccouat of the necessarily divergent conditions that prevail im our various provinces, cannot help but be unfair, unwise andr unecongmie, The pi d embargo Is of this charae- ter, Iti a blanket regulation that says.to the private owner of forest lands: \u2018You may not sell your own property as pulpwood unless you sell it in the market that we set for you.\u201d There is no consideration of the fact that there may be no Cama.dias market available for him; that his dis- tanee from a mill may make sale in Canada practically impossible; that the type of wood he has to offer can find no market here.These facts are not considered; yet they are tangible facts, whereas the advantages that are claimed will resuit from an embargo are at best wholly problematical, Restrictions Should be Equitable .« Ir IS surely reasonable to assume that a restriction placed on any industry should bear equitably on every unit of that industry.But such could not be the case with a pulpwood embargo.In Ontario and Quebec, roughly speaking, ninety per cent.of the pulpwood areas are in Crown lands, and the lessees of such lands cannot now export their product as pulpwood.In Nova Scotia, however, the reverse is the case, Ninety per cent.of the possible pulpwood resources are held by private owners in fee simple\u2014private property.The legislation that would affeet one-tenth «of the forest lands in Ontario would affect nine-tenths of the forest land in Nova Seotia.How could one law deal equitably with these diverse situations?Years ago Nova Scotia exported large \u201cuantities of deals to the English market.It was chiefly on this that they depended to make their forest operations profitable.But, from one cause and another, this source of Tevenue has been closed to them, and they are turning to the export of pulpwood to replace this business.Are we to say to them: \u201cYou must forego this prospectively profitable source of business, in order that We may conserve our pulpwood resources for our Canadian psper mills; or in order that we may try to force an additional mill Or two to open in Ontario or Quebec?\u201d That additional mill or two might give stmployment to a score or 80 of men\u2014even Nova Scotia could not even hope to sell on the one market that the embargo would leave open, because of the great distance from the large consuming mills of Upper Canada, and the fact that transportation facilities for putting wood from Nova Scotia to these mills, at reasonable cost, is not available.It has, however, immediate and cheap water freight to the great pulpwood consuming centres of the United States.See what this means.A pulpwood shipper in Nova Scotia can, by water and rail, deliver his wood eighty miles inland, to a mill in West Virginia, at lower cost than he can transport it to a pulpmill in his own province, less than a hundred miles from the scene of his operations, THE EMBARGO SFTUATION Ventriloquiet: \"And now, my little man, what are your views on the subject of forest conservation In Canadas\u2019 Dummy: \u201cCanada's saivation depends upon pulpwood embargo.\u201d Ven: \u201cSpoken like a patriot.And you haven't any axe to grind either, have you, Jehnmie?\u201d Dummy: \u201cNot at all, of, I'm heartbroken over conservation.My pulp and paper mill ls merely a hobby.\u201d cuts his logs into boards instead of pulpwood, benefit the cause of conservation?The whole argument for an embargo is based on visionary and doubtful premises.You cannot prove that it would result in conservation: but you know that it would be a breach of faith with the freehold settler, and the American owner of frecheld land in this country.You cannot say that the paper mills urge ently need the added supply of wood that 8 now being exported; for they are making no effort to buy it.You eannot say, definitely, that a single mill would be influenced into coming to Canada.But you can say that thousands of small woodlot owners in Canada, deprived of their market in the United States, would he at the tender mercies of one of the most powerful industrial groups on this continent, the newsprint ring of the Pulp and Paper Association.Against the intangible advantages that are elaimed for the proposed pulpwood embargo, there are these definite objections that can be raised.A law that does not take coguiz- ance of the vastly varying conditions, from Halifax, Nova Seotia, to Vancouver, British Columbia, cannot fail to bear with undue severity on certain sections of the country, Is such a measure not in direct opposition to the general spirit of our constitution which wisely committed to the Provinces maticrs affecting property and civil rights, which demand special treatment to suit their separate needsf Premier Armstrong, writing to the Pulpwood Commission, emphasized this point.\u201cI am convinced,\u201d he wrote, \u2018that the varying local conditions im each Province illustrate and forcibly emphasize the desirability of preserving intact Provineial jurisdietian id dealing with property and eivil rights.\u201d Premier Taschereau of Quebec, speaking on the subject of the proposed embargo in the Legislative Assembly of the Province, was even more emphatic: \u2018What might suit British Columbia might not suit Quebec, or Nova Scotia, or New Brunswick.| suggest very firmly to our friends at Ottawa that they seek to get all the necessary information, that they gather all facts available as to the forestry situation im Canada, but to leave to each Province the oare\u2014 the exclusive care \u2014of the forests, so that each Province

and there was no reason for it to be plain.If it had been plain It wonld bave be-n extremely tiresome.Plain fur- niture\u2014no beautiful carvings.no delightful figurings in the wood.no flutings.no curves\u2014plain fabrics without pattern or design.plain carpet without any of the delightful tracings which are the charm of nin ty carpets out of a hundred, plain | hangings.and plain picture frames\u2019 What | An in:ipid, uniospiring scheme of decoration.Then why plain walls?But, you interrupt.\u201cAre plain walls never fo be used?\u2019 Yes, inde-d.¥lain walls gre surerlative in museums and in picture galleries.In museums plain walls do not conflict or compete with the rare worka of art hung against them.People visit museums not to examine the walls but to look at the objects hung against the walls, Anything.therefore.which will eliminate optically the walls in museums is greatly to be desired.But in the private home there is no desire or attempt to eliminate the walls.The walls are moat important, and the more in the picture they are the more satisfactory the scheme.Your average home owner is not a Ruskin, or a Morris.or a Whistler.He does not seek to sacrifice his home on the altar of pedantic correctness.He is not trying to set up a home that will compete with the palaces of Versailles, or Fontainebleau, or with the Petit Trianon.He wants a home that will be a pleasure to him and his friends and which at the same time.will be reusunably correct in decorative treatment.Your average home owner.therefore, has found out that his home is a better place to live In, and glveg him more enjoyment, when the * Every 0c AS XL TY ASE) À INV : WILL KILL MORGELIES THAN A FLA NC TER - 7 Clean to handle.Sold by all Druggists, Grocers and General Stores fog amp Laure WL walls are patterned than whep they are plain\u2014 and cold.You have often \u201cthe bare walls.\u201d Gio into an empty house stripped of all Its furnishings and with nothing but the plain walls facing you and see how desolate and barren that house seems.It almost glves you a chill.But paper the walls with a sprightly des!gn fu stripes or flowers and a transformation takes place immediately.True, the rooms re- mata empty\u2014but they do not strike you ag being bare or barren, or cold or desolate.They have life and interest and you feel instinctively that each room has started on its way to become a room of beauty and charm.Now, if an appropriate designed wall paper csn make auch a difference in an empty room how much more effective will that paper be !n the room when the furnishings have been completed.Her», summed up briefly, is the whole matter of the plain wall as we see it.The plain wall was popular yesterday simply because it was the easiest way out of & dvorative problem.Plain walls do not represent the highest type of dec: heard the exprersion i oration but plain walls.because of their neutrality, can be used safely with almo:t all kinds of furniture and (furnishings.That Is all there was to the vogue for plain walls.When people.however, learned more about decoration they went back to patterned walls.Plaln walls are mostly lifeless: they have no interest.Pattern: d wails are \u201cpart of the picture\u201d; they tone up a room and harmooize with the otlier furnishings, all of which are patterned.Plain walls lack character: they arc not of themselves decorations and for thet reason must be decorated with many fabrics.pictures, and similar art objects.Patterned walls besides giving design to a room also supply an interesting color treatment.Plain walls are excellent for museums\u2014but who wants his home to be a museum?\u2014The Decorative Furnisher.0660600000506000500000000 Problems of Homemakers, +00.Swelling of Eyellds A Reader \u2014Swelling of eyelids May Le one of the results of a number of things and your family doctor will probably be able to locate the trouble and advise you.Bathing .the eves in a solution ol boracic acid (one teaspoon dissolved in halt a glass of boiling water and allowed te A JAUNTY POPULAR STYLE FOR STOUT FIGURES WITH SLENDER HIPS .This Crim tallorcd model is attractive A.charmeen, satin, tub sbk or linen.The pattern in cut in 8 sizes: 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 60.52 And G4 Inches bust meamure.A 42-inch wize requires 4 3-8 yards of 40-inch material with 3-8 yard of contrasting material 9 inches wide for the vestre.The width at the foot of the dress is 13-4 yard, Patiern mailed to any address on receipt of 15e in sliver or stamps.t A SIMPLE \u201cDAY\u201d DRESS \u2014 - cool}, is always soothing.Use an eye cup or a large, teaspoon to hold the liquid to the eye, opening and shutting the eyelld while doing so.Atriug (ke Reds Reader.\u2014Fhe right way to air a bed, if bed clothes are not removed from the bed and piaced on chairs, is to throw them over the footboard across a chair.placed to keep them well off the floor, and then lift the mattress in the middle, tiiting It up so that air passes under and over it.Oue-ha!f an hour of this will thoroughly air a bed, the windows being open all the time.Air closets and wardrobes as you do a room.They are full of clothes that have been worn all day which need alring.It you have a fat roof, or verandah, take every matiress in.the house up there occasionally and leave them in the hot sun [for several hours They will come back all fluffed up and sweet smelling.It would be well for the pillow and bedding to receive the same treatment.A mattress will be easier to handle if straps are attached Lo the sides, and for this purpose pleces of! old suspenders are very satisfactory or strips made from bed ticking.Bew the straps or handles on firmly.two on each side.A mattress cover should be made of bleached muslin, buttoned over the foot with a flap.When making | the bed it is a good plan to pin the\u2019 under sheet on with big safety pins, A SUMMER HOBBY | Small cameras accompany most people : on their holidays, and secure charming: memeutoes of happy days and lovely scenes.But the woman who has \u2018\u201csnapped\u201d promiscuously for several years is apt to tire of add ng to her numerous collection of groups and views.;

CURTAINS Nothing in a house displays the taste of the home maker more plainly than the curtains and hangings.If there is little money to spend for curtains it is much better to use something simple than to buy an imitation of expensive draperies.The thrifty housewifz will find it an economy to make her curtaing at home.\u2018fans and grays are by far the most serviceable colors to use for curtains, a3 wel] as the coolest and freshest looking.India prints, figured linens and many of the best quality of chintzes and cretonnes will hold their tones, and It Is therefore often advisable to get a color effect by using them rather than plain tones.For bedrooms, however, it Is often satisfactory to use &crim, cheesecloth, fishnet, Bwiss, cross-barred muslin or plain-col- ored ginghams and chambrays, which can be bought in [ast dyes and which make charming side drapings over curtains of white net or fine white scrim.For a blue room one could use plain blue denim trimmed with a border of bine and whe flowered cretonne.When a plain wall covering is used cretonne curtains are always attractive.The use of a flowered cretonne border on a white muslin or dotted Swiss curtaln assures one of a very decorative effect with a simple material.Do not have too much crétonne in one room, however.11 tiiere are several windows with figured very anaemic.1 was not able to get around to do my work;
