MISREPRESENTATION

loan article in its yesterday's issue entitled “interference with Personal -Liberty" the Putt-lot cor- rectly A. E. Arse- nault as stating. that “while point-

repoits Hon.

the peoplethe very stringent prohi- bition law which they asked for, that personally the principle 9i’ iimhibu‘ ion was abhorrent to him.‘

The Patriot further on goes tu the opposite extreme and declares tha-t "we fully believe on over- whelming majority of the peopil- an}. in favor of the principle of prohibition despite the suitemenli of the cit-Premier to the contrary. .,Just why rho Patriot should lillls misrepresent ex~Premler Arso naulit is one of the Patriot's poli- tical cnigmas. -

in its own columns its well 11B in those of the Guardian exPrsm- ier Arsenuults statement was clear ly nud distinctly published. It was in substance that the lpeoplc of the province vwinted prohibition. They demanded it and because he always maintained" the people had a right to rultathe ('0ilSPi“v'fl[iV8fi gave them the Prohibition Act which was the low of the pPUpip and should be q-nwji-ct-d, lie never said or hinted that “the overwhelming majority of the people are not ln favor of prohibition", in fact he took the opposite ground to this nnd the Patriot knows it and should make the amcnde honoraible. \VlLli the remainder of the Patriot's article we are in full accord, nml so .'ilso we lbelilevq is exfrqmier Arse- nwult.

{Ciri- THE POLISH CONTROVERSY

llow the controversy over Po- land is going to end it would ‘be vuin to attempt to predict. Poland has long been a stormy factor in European politics and the Poles are a belligerent race. ln internat- ional disputes they have usually preferred the arbitrument of the sword to (liplnniacy and they have not always been overscrupu- lous as to the justice ofthcircause. That they are brave and fearleso warriors history bears abundant ev-

idence. The present controversy is

of their own making. The League of Nations. ln response to an ap-l

peal from various subject notion; in which Poland concurred; guve them the right of self-determinat- ion. A plebiscite was taken to per- mit them to choose for themselves whether they would become u sclt- governing nation or remain stibjocx tc Germany. Whether the plebis- cite was influenced by Gcrfmzinjr or not there ls no doubt thut fGei- man influence was brought to hear upon the situation. in any case the nation's decision by a considerable majority, was to continue uiider Gcrnian rule. The minority refun- ed to nlbide by tthis ilccisiou und in this attitude they up by lldrance, Grent ilrltain, on the other hand, holds that should albide by the ilecislon of the majority its lndlezitml by the

more the impossibility of inducing minorities to see eye to eye with

majorities, even vwlillo theoretically admitting of the right of the rule. it demonstrates also the power of and national France, a member of the League

And so the mat- ter stands: France and England, allies in the great wnr, are ranged on opposite sides‘ of the question. and the controversy is becoming bitter and threatening. Whether armed intervention will be resort- ed to it is too soon to predict. That the situation is a threatening one cannot be denied. Mr. F. If. Slmonds dealing with the situation

in the current number of the Amen‘ ican Review, says: “The simplest

Current Comment

After s. prolonged Rip Van Wink- le slumber the Patriot has reach- ed a kind of restored animation, showing sufficient of life and courage to touch those treacherous Provincial Acounts. in Mondays issue it ventured to talk Public Ac- counts Commlutee, with the feign- ed opinion expressed that heculuat n10 m-lnoilllty; report was‘ moved,

the Oppositilon were satisfied that the accounts were correct and that

the government had u genuine sur- plus of $3,200. Without laughing

too loudly lat lthe profundlty of its

reasoning we rise to suggest that our Liberal friend didn't

quite get the sleep all rubbed out of its eyes when it started to

frame up ‘this slmall editorial, for with ‘its eyes wide open it would

surely never have put its foot so

deeply in it. it should have taken a glance nt the report. in question

und learn just what was in the document, ‘before speaking about lt. The Liberal apologist should re- member thal. the Public Accounts Committee, or mtlher the Bell mit- jorlty of them, had passed through some lrather bitterly correcting ex- periences at the previous session, and had learned some painful les- sons which they had ta-‘ken pain-- fully to heart. And "so, when they prepared this year's lMAJORlTi

REPORT, -they used every precaut- ion to avoid those pitfalls, which entrapped lthem so badly the pre-

vious session.

lliod the Patriot sense enough to notice in tlhe first instance. that the report WASNOT SIGNED BY AlNY 0P ‘PH: OPPOSITION MEMBERS 0F THE COMMITTEE it would certainly have had aur-

reuson why, and with the fact be- for it that the Hon. A. E. Arse- nault was one of the members of that committee, WHO REFUSED T0 SIGN THE MAJORITY RE- PORT, at this late date it blatant- ly tells its readers that the Op-

position were not only "satisfied" with the report, ‘but also “satis- fied" that the ‘Bell Goveijnmenl lmd a surplus of over three thous- nna dollams. in r68] "fact-even this majority report din nobtuke the risk of declaring that there was such a bona fide surplus, but con-

tented iitself with quoting tlhe cooked up portion of the Ac- counts as furnished ito the House,

tfrom vwhlch it jumbled up this ini- wglnery surplus. These figures be- "ln-g only such as were in ithat po ion of the iluhllcfliccounits which the aggregation permitted to be published, tihey were no more l0 ‘b0 uvlied on than the blue book itself. and on that no sane mun would place the slightest depentb once, in the matter of reaching a definite and‘ correct" conclusion.

lBut when the Patriot says that the Opposition presented ‘no counter report nor moved any re- solution, it was‘ surely still in a hall somnolent condition, _or else exceedingly defective in memory. 1r it will just fireshen itself ‘up only a little, and look into the journals of the House of April 15th, it will discover that a very comprelien~ slve resolution wiae moved, in amendment to the motion for sup- lply, going extensively into the fin- anoes of the country, and laying
