THE BRITISH viawroinr.

The British viewpoint, as distin-

guished from the contemporary i American, is thus expressed by The

Saturday Review. of London, Eng- land:

“Mr. John Drinkwater is per- fectly right in describing the zeal for censorship as a lust for interference. The most of our reformers are persons with an itch for power and no capacity to acquire it by sane activity in the general life of the nation. Consciously or sub-consciously. they have discovered the easiest way, for them the only,way. to power. Banded with others of the same temper they seize on

,some one “evil" and cannot vest till they have forced it into a» preposterous. prominence, One i band is now proclaiming that the supreme issue, the thing by which every Parliamentary can- didate must be judged, is liquor. Another, \ve suppose, will pre- sently promote the censorship oi literature to the first place; among the problems of the na- tion. If they cannotgovern us in the manner oi statesmen, they are resolved to control what we pour down our throats and into our minds. It does not occur to them that virtue is an affair of voluntary choice. not the w- uenw oi a denial of opportunity for vice, Noi" does it occur to them that as there is some difference be- tween wood alcohol and the best produce of Bordeaux in respect of the faculties exercised in en- joyment, so there is some dif- ference in the cerebral action excited by a piece of vulgar por- nography and that aroused by a work oi art. All that they are

To contemporaries he was not so much"a man"as an institution, at the very mention‘ oi whose name faces were puckered with grins Ol‘ wreathed in smiles. To many his work was a revelation. the revels-h tion of a new world and one far; better than their own.

Dominion needs n. rtti-qe-Plwtilrls policy so badly as the Maritimes. A t . toward that end should be provided for by the iMaritlane Governments and Leg- iislatures when they meet in their coming winter ‘sessions. Lumber will" be always in demand and ‘trees grow by day and at night while men ‘sre- sleeping. - '

Coal is being imported from Rus- sia toMontrenl while Russia is the avowed enemy of England and Russian agents and emissarics are operating in Canadian cities, trying to establish Soviet government in this country. And meanwhile Eng- lish and Welshvminers, are kept idle and have to be fed ,oi the public charge. And Russians are coming into Canada as well as Russian coal and it is stated that they cannot be deported because of the suspension of- diplomatic rela- tions. ‘-

Premier, Ferguson has announc- ed that he is prepared to root com- munism out of Ontario. ‘He is gathering information in a guarded way and seems confident that after becoming more fullyfiiniormed he can formulate measures that will prove effective. This is really the business oi the Ottawa Govern- ment, but it has so far shlrked its responsibility. It has control of immigration, but within the past few years Soviet propagandists have multiplied in this country. And they operate openly, as an exchange points out, “standing at a church door and distributing pamphlets to worshippers who are about to en- ter.” and apparently having no fear of the police.

Commendation of Premier Fer- guson's intentions is given by the Toronto Globe, which goes on to say:

Much time was consumed at the last two sessions of the Federal Parliament in an ut- tempt by the Government to repeal a section oi the Immi- gration Act directed against revolutlonist organizations and individuals. i It would be worth while to learn,'ii possible, why the Government is so anxious to afford them relief. Mr. Fer- guson mFht fiiidout ifheun- dertook to clear them out of

The illness of the King has naturally put a damper on the‘ Christmas preparations of the, royal family. The Duchess of York has obtained some relief, how- ever, from anxiety over her father- in-law by diverting her mind with the subject of Christmas presents for her relatives and friends. She has just finished a. pair of heavy brown woollen golf stockings for the Duke of York. These, how- ever, are not intended as a. Yule- tide gift, but as a birthday pres- lent for her husband. who will be ‘thirty-three on Friday next. The Duchess of York was taught to knitfby her mother, the Countess oiflstrathmore. who is an exceed- ingly clever necdlewoman. The Queen invariably consults her as an expert on such matters.
