The Free Press replies by citing the long sup- port which it has given to Liberal government, present prompted, not by personal or political motives, but by concern for national interests which are

"This counii-yy" it says, “is in the midst of a world situation in which it will undoubtedly be called upon to play an important part. The lives and fortunes of thousands of our fellow-Canad- ians may soon be staked in the hazard of war. Surely it becomes a national duty, if there is ground for apprehension about the condition of our defenses, to give expression, and expression, to those doubts and whatever may be said at Ottawa, are widely held from one end of this country to the other." Winnipeg Liberal iemporary asks Mr. Dunning what he meant by' his comments above quoted. interpretation it can place on them is that Mr. Dunning has in mind the control of the press by the Government of the day. To which it replies:

“Since when has discussion of public affairs become an offence in this country? Since when has criticism of Government constitutional limits become something to be denied s free people? Since when has it been considered that the ordinary processes of pub- lie debate become chargeable as treason, for that what is implied in Mr. Diinning's remarks. "The Government of this country," the Free Plfell reminds Ottawa, "is fundamentally carried Mr_ Dunning and his colleagues. It is guided and directed by the _ of s democracy of which those who hold rsry offices are the mouthpieces.

In the brief which the Campbell Government submitted to the Rowell Commission on Domin- ion-Provincial Relations, a dozen pages of quotations from the report of the Jones Com- mission. appointed in 1934 by the Nova Scotia Government, were included. The quotations made no apparent impression on the Row-ell Commission, but they were evidently considered as of great importance by Premier Campbell, who paid tribute in his brief to the “soundness and excellence” of the tariff views expressed therein by Hon. Norman Rogers.

.\'ow from the Halifax Chronicle (Liberal) we learn that “the appointment of the Jones Coni- mission aroused little interest in Nova Scotia as a whole. From the outset it was never taken very seriously, and outside the immediate circles of the present Government the Commission had few champions. In these circumstances it is not surprising to find that when the Commission brought in its report it made but little inipres- sion and was regarded by most Nova Scotians as something of a ‘dud’. "

It is too bad the case for this Province had to be buttressed with such irrelevant and in- consequent material.

American Expeditionary Force met by chance on February 25, ‘IQXS at the statue of Eros on the Island in Picadilly Circus three other war burl- dies, an Englishmen, a Frenchmen, and an American. All four made a vow to meet again at midnight on the same dale at the same place twenty-one years later, Alas, the Scot-Ameri- can was the sole survivor, and when he was picked up by a reporter at his hotel this is what he said :— "I'm not sentimental, I'm - as hard-bit- ten as most. But if I’d ratted on this date just because I knew the others couldn't come, well . . . .I don't know . . . .I reckon maybe a promise wouldn't have meant anything to me any more." And so he had gone to London to stand on the appointed midnight by the statue of Eros —alonc. He wanted no observers at the keeping of his sacred tryst. As the first stroke of twelve boomed from Big Ben he took off his hat and gazed toward the Duke of York's statue with a prayer in his heart for his three lost friends.

Due to the Dominion of Canada's large net credit in international transactions in the last five years, Canada is paying its extenal debts “on a very considerable scale,” according to the .B:iiik of Nova Scotia in its monthly review. Basing its calculations on figures of the Domin- ion Bureau of Statistics, the bank places Can- ada's net credit from i934 to i939, inclusive, at approximately $r,ooo,ooo,ooo, or larger than the previous high which was in 1924 to 1928. Thus._ receipts from abroad arising from mer- chandise exports, gold shipments, tourist trade, interest and dividends, greatly exceeded cor- responding payments abroad. The bank, points out that the surplus has been chiefly utilized‘ in reducing Canada's foreign indebtedness and only to a limited extent in increasing her external in-

The decision of the Kitchen Committee of the House of Com- mons to run a cocktail party on, I think. the 29th of this month. has aroused a good deal of ad- verse criticism. and I am riot sur- prised.
