IIOTES BY THE WAY

When the law ‘lords ln London ruled that the Soclal Credit Gov- ernment. should meet the ultcrest. on Alberta bonds in full, they be- came the unwilling accessories, ac- cording to opinion here tn the capital, in securing a. new lease 011 power for the Social Credit ple- niler. The people of Alberta, It i-s held, could see no reason why, in u. noble spirit of self-lnunolatioa, they should saddle themselves with an annual burden of the additional millions it would take to meet the

province's interest bill in full. And any other administration than the Abernart Government,

they realized, would accept and ;m- plement the Privy Council judg- ment. Whereas, Crusader "Bible Bill," despite this mixture of reli- gion with politics, does not sub- scrib to the theory that honesty is the best policy and alreaclv nus defied Alberta's creditors to col- lect the sums to which the highest court in the Empire has declared them entitled. - Macleod in Wind- sor Star.

Many Scots familiar wtm the history of the Hlgniand regi- ments are up in arms over tne recent B.B.C. recording of tno Cameron Highlanders’ pipe band playing in a French town on the Sabbath, for, according to tram- tion, the pipes of the Camel-tins should never be heard on Sunday. Some regimental authortles as- sert that the Camerons’ p.pe band has remained silent on that day since the death of Sir John Moore at Corunna. in 1809. Other n13- DOFiQJIS are of opinion that the pipes are stilled on the Sabbath out of deference to Queen Vic- toria, who gave her name — Queen's Ovm -- to the regiment last century. Certainly for very many years the pipes have never been played at a church parade or indeed at any other Sabbath ceremony. But, whatever tho reason for the bagpipe veto, traditzon was certainly flouted durutg the last war, when the pipes of the Cam- erons were frequently heard on

the Sabbath in French villages and front-line trenches. — Mali- chester Guardian.

The French Maginot line Ls not es=en- tialliy a piilbox barrier but rather a series of vast subterranean chambers running for mile; under- ground. There are an estimated 6,000 pillbox forts. however. ‘rile Russians proved that such de-

fences can be penetrated by iii- tensivs artillery fire. French heavy guns are the finest in

Sixth Avenue, stripped of the ug-ly steel saw-horses on WhlCll 11s old "Ei” rode, new hopes to he- come the Champs Elysees of New York. It Ls a noble nm,b.t1cn even though it ilvill not be easy to trait.- form our cement-bound thorough- fare into s. rival of the Pnrzsnn boulevard. Nevertheless, the pro- ject has been begun. The first halt dozen trees of what the Sixth Avenue Association hopes will be a parade marching solidly from Central Park to Eighth Street are already set out.

Although It ls undeniably true. as an editortal on this ‘page contention the other day, that the spzrlt rt poetry will suffer a less when the last elevated train has bot-ii tucked away in the barns. UlPTE‘ is s‘1l.l something to be said for tlu- sub- ways. True. there is livle gayetv there, no shifting panoramas o1 parks and tenement wlnriows and skyscrapers to invite the soul, btlt still, it sometimes seems, the sub- way hsbitues get a glimpse of tlio wlsdcm of the ages. In these dark monotonous tubes the riddle of lif" may become clearer. It is no place for poets, excerpt. perhaps of the intensely melancholy sort, but can it not be a forcing bed for philos- ophers? Here life 1s stripped to itl elementals. We can do no mcre. 1n lmboring this point, than to i-t-it-i- to two incidents. One is of the C‘.ii.1- ese, arrested for walking along the tracks, who was carrying a glass Jar in which reposed a button-a soli- tary button, nothing more, What better bit of symbolism could one ask for? The jar, perhaps, repre- sented the emptuic-s of life and striving; the button. the cold res‘.- due or truth. Or did it? Surely there was some meaning in tn;s Dali-like tableau. The other inci- dent. was the arrest of the man w-‘ln had chalked up a simple statement of his credo on 11 station wail hi. appeals to be the common late of underground sages in run lttoul n! the lsw, but no matter). It must be remembered that there was no on- jection to his sentiments, for he had written boldlv: "Tho world t~ no lplacc to live in." A ncnl. stint- mation. - New York Herald Tit- bune.

The maple sugar season ls at ‘hand. Little has been left uzlsnld in its praise. The delights of sugar- ing off have been sting again and again; the virtues of syrup anti sugar extolled by poet. prince and petisant. When the slip begins to

Sitiknig of a, German ship by s British submazine in the Kattegat will call to the attention of British people a fact which they have almost forgotten. Britain has undersea boats as well as Germany.

The reason more is not. heard of tits-m is probably that Britain uses llVlll in an entirely different way front lhc enemies. This particular sinking amply demonstrated that.

The ship sunk was an enemy ship and) not a neutral. The re- ports indicate that the crew of the

The causes that brought about the destruction of responsible Government in New- foundland are operating on this Is- land and will inevitably bring about similar results here if not checked r5 time. These causes were waste and extravagance, if not on the part of successive govern- ments; and indifference on the part of the people.
