interesting more from the fact that it hovered at all times on the verge of disolosures than because of the fact that real disclosures were not allowed to be made.”

This is the (irit version of the enquiry by the Royal

Comniissioii on the Kyte charges. The "verge of_ dis- closures" is the favorite atmosphere of present day Liberalism. lt does not matter whether “real disclo- sures" are made or not so long as the agiiator and the scandal inoiiger can keep the people on the “verge of disclosures,” can keep them in an expectant mood, can keep their eyes on the dangling bait.

It is a frank though huiiiiliatiiig admission, 1\Ir.

The enormous supplies from the United States are completely shut 05 by thc_»Vsea blockade. Under special agreement of about ai yeariago the allies permitted the United States to deliver to Germany a certain amount of cotton with the understanding that Germany would deliver to the United States a certain amount of dyes_ The goods were to be delivered within a certain time and the cotton was to be traded lor the dyes. N0 money was to be paid by either side, It was a special courtesy of the Allies-'toirelievc a threatened dye famine in the United States. The cot- ton \vas delivered and paid for. The time expired. And, now, the United ‘States-is surprised to learn that the Allies will not allow Germany/to deliver $50,000, 000» worth of dyes and receive cash payment? But, ‘the most signilicent part of the affair is that Germany seems to be producing dyes in _such quantities at the present time. We may well ask ourselrcszi What else

Hughes towards the "disclosures" that would substan- tiate tlic charges made by himself through his mouth- piece, Mr_ Kyte. The “real disclosures,” did not how- ever materialize, as there were no such disclosures td be made, but he succeeded in keeping his witness on the "verge”,and that furnished the necessary material for the Grit press to keep up the howl that" has been in the air since the Kyte charges were made.

\\'e have had similar experiences in our own pro-

vince duriiig the past year when the public were led. along on the “verge of disclosures" iii connection with the ariiiy oats and hay, the Dalton Sanatoriuin, the Departineiit of Public Works and other easily i'enieni- bered _scandals which never got beyond the “verge” stage but which were worked for all they were worth while there.

This “hovering on the verge" is poor business and

c wardly as well. It were better to plunge in like nieui ;l?id, if there are real wroi_igs» to grapple with them and, if not, to admit it like men. It may be true~ as sonic facetious philosopher said, that the people like to he fooled, but it is also true that they despise those who fool tlieiii_ The present day Opposition federal and provincial has gone to extremes iii their efforts to paint their opponents black; their sole dependence for political existence has been the hope that they could iiizikr- :il least soineof the paint stick_ 'l`licy have used it with a lavish hand and have gloated over what they had only hoped to acconiplisli as if it had al- ready beeii acconip`i'slied_ They have certainly made thc niost of the “verge_" Notliiiig more damaging to Canada, to the Empire and to the cause of the Aides, or more comforting to the Geriiians has occurred since the \\-ar began than the Liberal twisting and prcjudg- ing of the case iioiv before the Royal Coiliniission.
