No knowledge comparable was to be found at that time in what is now Canada.

It was not until more than three hundred winters’ snows had blown over the slopes of Sable Hill that the aborigines of Canada came ln contact with Europeans in the per- sons of Jacques Cartier and his sailors. S0 that this country, speak- ing in terms of archaeology, is hard- ly more than four hundred years old-the period in which the white man invaded it and over-ran it. Europe, in such terms, dates back to pro-Roman days, when the sturdy ancestors of the modern Europeans gleaned a spare livelihood from the river-valleys.

Russia has just concluded trade agreements with Japan and with France ivhich indicate her im r- tance as a factor in international affairs: the agreement with Japan may well mean something much more far-reaching than a commer- cial deal, and may presently be seen to be part of a new diplomatic line-up in the Far East which unites Russia and Japan in a policy cf mutual interest which may have important consequences for the West/em nations which also have interests in Eastem Asia.

Mr. Lloyd George, addressing l great peace meeting in London, calls on the world to follow Ger- many's example and disarm. Hon- or demands, he says, that the na- tions carry out their pledged word as contained in the ‘Treaty of Ver- sailles. Unless this is clone, he fears that there is a danger of the world unwittingly being plunged into war just as it was in 1914. l-Ie is con- vinced, also, that no ruler in Eu- rope desired war in 1914. The Li- beral statcsmaifs references to the attitude of European rulers in 1914 is certain to recall that famous British election right alter the con- flict when, ifwe remember aright.

King ’s Objections

(Montreal Gazette)

Even those who foresaw that Mr. William Lyon Mackenzie King would have difficulty in finding arguments against the con. fcrcnce “resolutions, even they can hardly have been prepared for the remarkable line of opposition which the Liberal leader has adopted. Mr. King is not a. novice in the diflicult art of making bricks without straw, but he has had more than ordinary difliculty in his effort to build a case against the work of the conference. He is determined to attack the resolutions, but upon what ground can this be done P He finds himself in the somewhat presumptuous

position of having to condemn the considered judgment of the Empire's ablest statesmen and to reject the fruit of that judgment, It is of no consequence to him that the work of the conference has beemacclziimed in every part of the Empire as establishing a ne\v principle which is to dominatcliereafter in all commercial and economic relations among the several Empire units. He goes so far, indeed, as to say that while the agreement with Canada has been approved by the National Government in Britain, “the Brit. ish people have not agreed to it." As a. matter of convenience he forgets that the National Government received from the British people a clear mandate to revise the old free trade system, even to reverse it, and that a. protective tarifl‘, to be modified in its appli- cation within the Empire by means of reciprocal preferences, was definitely included in this mandate. If Mr. King now pins his hope upon the inconsistent behavior of Sir Herbert Samuel, Lord Snow. den, and his little company of Liberal dissenters, or if he thinks that the 1111817 5901411155 0f the Manchester Guardian are the voice of British public opinion, he is imagining a vain thing, as an

the part of the irritation just as a sneeze gets rid of an irritation in the nose, and a diarrhoea gets rid of some offending matter in the large intestine. Coughs are divided into two class- es, those that are trying to rid the throat and chest of some mucous obstruction by expectornting (spit- ting) and those that are just irrit- ating and have no useful purpose. Thus, as Dr. Stuart Pritchard, Battle Creek, points out, the expec- torant cough has a. purpose and should be aided. The irritant cough serves no good purpose and should be stopped or suppressed. “Both types of cough have their characteristic sounds, and both may occur in the same patient. The sounds of an expectorant cough are always linked together, and once begun this cough ca». be checked only with difficulty until it ends with the usual characteristic sound of the expectoration coming up from the lower part of the throat. The sounds of an irritant cough on the other hand are independent and may be likened to separate blows of a hammer. “The irritant cough not only fails to serve any useful purpose but if unchecked may be dangerous. The ill effects of unchecked severe irritant coughing may cause complications in early stages of influenza, spread infection to the pleural coverings of the lungs in Pneumonia, aggravate pain,

Lloyd George And The Liberals

armament proposals wh‘ch, in his judgment, "brought Europe to the verge of the gravest international crisis since 1914." In condemning the acquiescence of these Liberals in the hoisting of various measure for social and agricultural amelior- ation, he strikes a familiar note, and strongly suggests that the rejection of the provisions of “The Sixpenny Pamphlet" has left a. rankling sore in the mind of its author, and he does not hesitate to foiat upon these erstwhile colleagues the disastrous consequences o! the dissolution of the Liberal party which resulted in

Such is the gist of the communi- cation. It is disappointing to the dissentients who may have enter- tained some hope that the Welsh leader would welcome their return to the Liberal fold, and. approve their attitude in making a breach in the National Goveurment. They are roundly scolded for what Lloyd George considers a series of colos- sal blunders on their part, and the only crumb of comfort they can extract from the mlssive is contam- ed in the statement that should the Liberal Federation make a fresh start, provided the former Liberal ministers are wllirig to erase sundry "criminal gtupiditias" by which they they can count upon his whole-hearted sup- port. Put in plain mglish. this means that Lloyd George is confid- ent that he holds the golden key to the fortunes of the Liberal party, and that the mountains must come ' to Mahomet.
