The youthful Czar of All the Rus-

sias has chosen to appear in a new role as a sort of apostle of peace by proposing that the great powers shall reduce their military establishments and that an international conference shall be called for that purpose. The sincerity of this proposal is quite open to question from the fact that Russia, which has not been in any danger of attack from any quarter during a generation past, has an enormous army and a formidable navy. Her military forces on a peace footing amount to 1,743,244 Iofiicers and men, with 176,600 horses ,and 2,672 guns. Her war strength

‘includes over 5,000,000 oiiicers and

men, almost 300,000 horses and over 6,000 guns.

It is true that Germany and France

have also an enormous array of men armed and trained for military service, while France has in addition a navy second only to that of Britain. But France is the ally of Russia while Germany in no way menaces her frontiers or interferes in her affairs, The real reason why Russia is main- taining her vast army is clearly not for defensive purposes, but to be ready to take the aggressive in any quarter where territorial aggrandize- ment can be effected.

What then is the significance of the

proposal of the Czar that the great powers shall reduce their armaments? The traditions of Russia, the notorious aggressor and treaty breaker among the nations, may fairly lead us to dis- trust the proposal now emanating from that quarter. i It is not in the interest of peace, humanity, or econ- omy alone that the proposition is jmade. It is much more probable that the projected international con- ference looking to disarmment is aimed at Great Britain, and with the view to limit the rapid increase of her' I naval power. I It is well known that the British government has adopted the policy of I creating and maintaining a naval armament equal' to any two other power. Thisis necessary to her for I; the defence of her vast commerce and I to make sure of her bread supplies in time of war. But once let Britain be seduced into an international con- ference on the question put forward by the Czar, and consenting to be bound by what the conference might agree upon, the continental nations would bé a unit in demanding that she should cease to further enlarge I her navy.

Peace has a pleasing sound, and a

reduction of the crushing burdens of Imilitarism would, no doubt, 0 be. wel- come to the peoples of Europe, but it seems most likely that the specious ,proposal of the Czar arises mainly from his desire to limit the naval , expansion of Britain, which just now is the main obstacle in the way of arrying out his aggressive designs upon.China. He is not ready for a struggle with Britain on the sea at present, and is simply manouevering for advantage by proposing a confer-

EDITORIAL NOTES.

We publish in another column the

letter of Mr. D. B. McLeod, who takes exception to the use of the word “wiro pulling” in connection with Mr. Campbells nomination. We presume there is usually more or less pulling of wires in any party convention and used the word only in a general sense. We were not aware at the time that Mr. McLeod had declined to accept the Conservative nomination, as we have since learned was the case. But our objections to Mr. Campbell are entirely apart from considerations of party preference. His record as a member of a previous administration and as a member of the house and his public speeches in regard to temper- ance legislation have not been such as this journal approves.

Chicago is moving for the abolition

of tolls on the Welland Canal,through which her water-borne traiiic finds its way to the St.Lawrcnce and Atlantic. And what a disinterested proposal it is I Canada constructed this canal at a cost of many millions of dollars. She .now permits United`_States citi- zens to use it on the same termsas the citizens of Canada. The present ar- rangement seems a tolerably generous one on our part. Our neighbors now audaciously propose that the Cana- dian government shall give away all the revenue the canal produces and give them a free canal. When we do that it will be quite in order for them to ask free carriage of United States

products over opr government rail- ways as well. ,

Letter from Hr- D- H- Hclnoll- ,

Sm,-I was somewhat surprised on

reading your editorial cf the 28rd lnst., which slatcdlhai as a result oi wire- pulling in the ilrst district of Queen’s, Mr. Campbell had ieceised the nomi- nation oi the Conservatives in that dis- tricl. As a naller of fact there was no wire pulling, and I can assure my lrgends that the Convention in no way slighted me, but on the contrary offered me their best services did circumstances permit me to accept the nomination. ‘ The second paragraph ofthe editorial in question which reilects on Mr. Camp- bell, ig uncalled for as Mr. Campbell rendered the country good service in the past and may do so in the future if returned.

So far as I know. the Conservative

press refrained from reilectings in any way on the character _of lheLiberal candi~ ,date and we might reasonably expect Tru-: GUARDIAN to be as courteous as they in this respect. By inserting the above you will grQ'ly

i oblige. '
