Expensive Ambassadorial Frills

T. I. Church, .\l.l‘., has l'11l:(‘(.l his voice at Ottawa against the l1abi1 of sending novice am- bassadors roatning about foreign capitals. He objects that they uttdcrtuine thc influence of Brit- i_.h (liltlrtlllllllnls and create the false imprcssiutt that the litupire is not a unit.

This habit of "showing the flag" costs Canada i11 the neighborhood of ltalf a million dollars a year to which may be added the $150,000 or so which is paid for the stipport of the League of Nations, plus the odd tt-us of thousands for dele- gates to the League. The suggestion that these expenditures are necessary" to maintain Canada's" ctptality of status with other parts of the C0111- mtnuvealth is scarcely cunviitciug, says the Uttzttva _|o11r11."1l. Some 0f them are 110 uloie necessary than that for the uppoiitttncnt of a llitth Commissioner to Eire. the primary reason for which, according to .\lr.

WORKMEWS COMPENSATION

Slr.—’I‘l1e words “Workmenls Com- pensation" in your paper today caught my eye. I am mighty glad 1o learn that there l an agitation tn this Provltice for such 1m Act.

The Wor.k111en‘s Compensation Act". became law ln N. B. in about the year 1919 tI think that N. S. adopt- ed it a short time later) and was received with much satisfaction by all who were interested 1n worklnz- men and. their families, as one of the best and most lmmanltarlan of legislative measures.

I know fron1 my personal observa-

11011 that, many families were kept P9

together and saved from utter de_- tltution by this lust protection.

Almost every one wlll be pleased when P, E. I. follows the other pro- vinces of the Dominion. and the rest of the civilized world. and pays 11 compcnsatiorl 1.0 the families cf the wage earners who are lnlured u1" killed at their work.

The tent on the Province wlll be very litzllt. as the hazards here are so few; but when an odd accldert clces happen the sufferers are eve;y bit as much in need as tn any nu- vlnce.

1 hope that P E. I. will do better than other province and wlll oom- ncnsatc the farm laborers when tliev are injured at their work.
