THE UN-BRITISH WAY

.'“"é-3 _ (IG

Perhaps never before in the history of _Canada has

such an unscemly and un-British exhibition of partisan 0 malice been given 'as is being given at present in con-' 1! ncction with the charges against the Shell Committee. W General Sir Sam Hughes is the object of attack and his W

arrival at Ottawa to meet his :iccusers face to face was S made the occasion of another outburst if possible more B venomous than the many that preceded it. _ t

According to British principles and according to all U B

the rtilcs of -fair play when a case is .rub judice it is'|` left-to the courts to decide its merits and any attempt to prejudice a jury is regarded as not only contenip- ‘ tiblc but crimual. Sir Sanfs case is not before a civil _ or crimual court but nevertheless it is sub judice. it is in the hands of an investigating Royal Commission who will probe every insinuation and every charge to the liottoiii." ` 'I'li`e"attempt that is being made by Liber-“u :il pqiers to prejudice the jury-the people of Ca-

nada-without waiting for the finding of"the Com-lf mission is just as reprehensible, although not subject to penalty, as' would be an attempt to prejudice the juryla

in a civil or crimual court. The principle is the 5 saine. q

\\'liat do the Liberals fear? \\'ho is leading the S

attack on Sir Sam Hughes. One at least of the lea- O ders is the organ of the Canadian Manufacturer’s As- | sociation which not so long ago came off secondbest T in an attempt to discredit the Minister of Militia and \

sociation should resent the placing of orders for mnni- D tions in the United States rather than in Canada arc Vt not far to seek. It must not be forgotten in the at- g tack on _Sir Sain Hughes that he worked in conjunction =, with thc Shell Committee and that that body was one Pg of considerable weight. Among its members were men 'C of experience and technical knowledge. Whatever W

rofessor Vernon L. Kellogg, of Stanford University,

for six months engaged in the work of the Com

r relief n Belgium, and latterly as director in Brussels f the Coinmission’s work in all of Belgium and orthern France, has written an illumiiptivc article

n “How the People of Belgium are Fed."

rticle the wonderful work done by thc charitable

orld is fittingly set forth as is also thc sys

hich that charity is administered. '

Contrary to the general belief that the

he funds for this most worthy work came from the _ ritish l‘Irnpire_ 'lo quote from Professor Kcllpgg’s _°°' I i > article: “America has done niuch absolutely, but little 'riiey win he distributed to the var- ‘ P i » \ 7 _ relatively; that is, rt-liitive to her capacity tc do.

may be taken for granted that every transaction put through by the Conunittce will be accounted for in their books which have been regularly audited. The Bri- tish authorities knew liow the prices paid in Canada compared with those paid in the United Statcsand in Great Britain ; they knew also the quality of the goods offered in Canada and it may very safely be assumed that such a Committee had good reason for its‘acts. In any case the investigation should be waited. The In any case the investigation should be awaited. The truth is being brought out and the Britishway is to wait for it.
