anticipates. Take the probe of the aluminum plant strike at Arvida, Que. The costly com- mission did not find anything the public had not known all along and could not discover any blame for anybody, but the clamor had d-Icd down and the price was worth it to the government. The Arvida commission report said there was no sabotage as stated by Mr. Howe, minister of munitions at the time. The report says the com- pany and the workers were both to blame for the serious tic-up of a vital war industry. In fact the public which must pay and which is confused still must wonder as they continue in the dark why the high-priced commission was appointed in the first place. It has solved nothing nor done anything that may deter other strikes that may be fomented in vital war industries in Can- ada when there is a crying need for fighting ma- terials. So far as the people are concerned there might be a commission to inquire into the why and wherefore of royal commissions.

The Huns In France

'A correspondent of The New York Times who ha: lived in France for 6 years and has just returned to the Llnited States, is convinced that “reprisal executions of French hostages by the Germans will fail to put an end to attacks on German soldiers in the army of occupation." On the contrary, he points out that these Nazi brutslitiea are lcourging French public opinion to a high pitch of resentment and revolt.

Preparatory to launching a new loan Secre- tary-Treasurer j. J. Hayes Doone, of New Brunswick, estimated that province will show a surplus of $382,000 on ordinary account for the current fiscal year, compared with a $31,301 surplus l. year ago. This estimate is contained in a prospectus accompanying the recent sinking fund debenture issue. The provincial fiscal year will end this week. The estimated surplus, reach- ed after provision for sinking funds, would result in a reduction of $107,000 in the pro- vince's net debt. Mr. Doone, indicating that the showing might be even better than estimated, attributed it in part to buoyancy in general re- venues. He said reports indicated that the recent sinking fund issuer of $4,500,000 would be taken up within a few days. I I l I

Admiral john Benbow, one of our great Em- pire-makera, died at lea this date 17oz. He acted as master of the fleet in the battle of Beachv Head in 1690, and subsequently at Barfleur and La Hague. In 1693-4 he was on charge of a squadron which burned Dieppe, bombarded Havre and Calais, and otherwise harassed the French Coast. In x700 he was sent after the French Fleet under Du Casse in the West In- dies, and harried them until they gave battle. Some of Benbow’: captains disagreed with him and deserted, but he persisted, and almost alone kept up a continuous fusilade. He had his left leg shot off and was wounded in the head but con- tinned to conduct the battle from a cradle on thr- deck until Du Casse sought refuge by flight being thus practically driven from the Caribbean. Ben- bow died of his wounds.
