What /\,re~Our Judges For?

The force of a bad example is being exempli- fied by the pmpnszll of the City Council to ignore our dul_v ltppointed judges in favour of 3. specially illlpuilllfftl lJ0-'l.l’(.l, of their own notnillzttinn evid'.~11tl_v, to adjust the differences l)(’t\\’(‘t.‘1l tux-payers in areas and the City.

A llvgillllitlg was lnzlrle in this departure from Collilllllllllllal 11s:l;;e by the Campbell Govern- ment when it p:1.~‘.~c'l special lcglslation to pre- vent :1 di.s.<:1ti-fictl f:lr111er front appealing to the law courts for rcpzlrntioli ill connection with (lIIlll.'lQ(‘ Sll.\‘..'llll('ll by the alleged negligence of the l'ulllic \\'nrl\'s llcpllrlrltcut of the Govern- ment. This ll1L'tllU(.l prm'('d so satisfactory to zhc pm\'(-l*~‘—tl1:1t-lie lll.’l[ it was followed by !he .\li1li-trr nf l'ul»lic \\'url<s in tztkillg unto hltn— self legzll ]7'l\\'t‘|" to assess the vzllue of any land whicll he might require for r1l.'ttl-:1t:lki11g, irres- pective of the clzliln of the farmer or other land-owln-r \\'l1o~c property was at Sl£.l\'€.

Ilaving gulttn :lw:1_v with this the Campbell GO\'Cl'llllll'1ll arr-.g.1t«-d unto itself the right of deciding what co11.t-llszltion should be paid to the f.".rlllC1‘S and ul.llL‘l‘ property owners within the Natillllal Park area, depriving these people of their right to appeal to the law courts.

Now the City Council seem to think these

prccctlcnts gnarl and sufficient justification for them also to iglmrc the usual course of iustice :l11d are zlpplying for authority to establish a judiciary of their own to adjust tax arrears. It is readily understandable that the City Council is anxious to clear up the financial inudzlle as speedily and with as little trouble to all concerned as possible. It is also under- standable that the ordinary processes of law in this instance, owing to the number and variety of cases, w«.‘l«l be slow and costly. But there is no reason why a board or tribunal could not be constituted from the existing judiciary. \Vhat are our judges for if every now and then their services must be dispensed with in favour of othcr arbitrators? Surely in an important mat- ter of this kind, where it is necessary to have both a competent and impartial tribunal, our judges are the proper appointees.

Britain And War Debts

The question of war debts has been revived in Ionic rptzlrtt-rs ill the l.'11itctl States, This brings the following reply front a correspondent in a n1.'1i1ll.'11lrl excl1llt1;;c: Of all the major (I;-btors to the United States Englantl was the one who did the most to stand by the S.'lllCllf_V of her contracts until such stand bee.’-.tt1e i11tp(l.<sil)le to continue. Front the time of the funding agrcelltent of June, 1923, Eng- land had rcgulzlrly kept up her payments aver- ~ aging 202 million dollars a year until the Hoover morzltorium of June 1931. As in the case of Frallcc, the prices cltrtrged F.ngland for the sup- plies sent over ranged from three to eight times the price which would have obtained for the same goods if sold in 1914 or in 1934. Here are the figures:

_ Purchases Prior to April. 1917 On credit April, 1917-

Nov., 1920

$3,241,ooo,ooo.oo 4. 362,91 8,8 39.60

Total [mill in cash $5.35l,767,656.69

The stalemcllts and figures quoted are from a publication issued by the Committee for the (‘rmsitlerrltiolt of Inter—(iovernmental Debts, 330 West 42nd Street, New York. Front this it is quite clczlr that England paid in cash for every- thing purchased hcfore the United States be- cant: a partner in a common cause, and at ex- orbitant priccs.

War Materials For Japan

If other countries did not supply Japan with the raw lttatcrials essrtntial to making her war munitions, she could hardly have continued to wage war in China, nor could she be an effec- tive partner of Gernmly and Italy. As point- ed out recently in these columns, Canada is an important cnlltributing factor to this situation. Very little of Japan's raw material has been sent by the Axis pnwcrs, only 3.36 per cent of her total imports of it in 1937 and-1.48 per cent of it in 1938 being their contribution. The United States supplied 57.07 per cent of this material and British countries 20.69 of it last year. But the values and volume of similarly used imports from some British countries have . been increased. Ironically then, the more Japan is helpedby Brill:-rll countries to wage war, the plainer becnmes the thrcilt it directs against them. The illngic of‘tl1_i.i is being realized, and ‘some Ilritish countries are reducing their ex- ports of war mzm-ri.'lls, to Japan. But Canada ' not -doing so. ncrehserl its export ‘of raw materials essential to munitions upon which Japan bases the I .,hllt ultimately may be It threat to the

The outstand- ing export was nickel, and amounted to 91.29 per cent of Japan's total nickel imports.

In other materials Canada was the largest exporter among British countries in 1938. It was so for aluminum, asbestos and zinc. It came second in the supply of copper and mica, and third in the supply of lead, which is so extensively used for munitions such as rifle and machine gun bul- lets and on a large scale for explosives. Other raw materials exported by Canada lu keep Ja- pan's war machine going included tin, antimony, mercury, scrap and old iron and s.cel, hides and skins,

Mr. King's excuse for lndeclslon atcut the election — the European .l.ua.tlc1n — was generally acozpted .1 gocd faith whcn he gave it. at 3 ..me of crisus a few weeks ago. Not. only has that excuse been invalidat- ed by the passing of the crisis but Mr. Klng’s statements In Toronto as to his attltude as Prime M1111- ster toward the European situation puts lus excuse definitely out of court. The c'.1ly reason for slowing the European situation to Interfere

lwith such purely domestic affairs of Canada as the holding of an elec-

[t'l:>.n is that this country must. be ln a positlan to take appropriate action should the situation develop into war involving the British Dn- plrc. The only statement of any significance Mr. King made at Toronto was that he would continue to refuse to define this oou=nt.ry'.s position in the event of war.
