The Toronto Globe, which in times past tended altar fires of Liberalism pure and undefiled, is

the not satisfied with Hon. Mr. MacKenzie King's speech- cs during his tour of the Maritime Provinces. Appar- ently (says a contemporary) it expected the Opposi- tion Leader to deliver a iive-yvire message, showing

a definite grasp of Liberal principles, and calcu- lated to electrify the electorate. But it has been disappointed. Like other Liberal journals it finds Mr. Kinglacking in definiteness in his attitude to the problems of the day, and intimates that he is merely playing politics, and trying t0 please a sectional fol- It is patent, says the Toronto Globe, that Mr. King's “statement on public affairs are colored, consciously or unconsciously, by the fact that his Par- liamentarv support comes almost entirely from the east of the Ottawa River. From all Canada west of the Ottawa he has only thirteen supoprt- ers in the House. Quebec is not disposed to ask for advanced legislation on public ownership problems, or on prohibition; it has not the same interest in them as have the other provinces.”

The Globe observes: “To the vital question of prohibition Mr. King made no reference. His sug- gestion that the Grand Trunk purchase project should be referred to the ‘people, presumably by referendum, is not a practical one, and leaves his own position undisclosed." _

And the Globe adds: “But Mr. King cannot take a neutral attitude and expect any accession of strength in Ontario or Western Canada." A Mr. King told his St. John audience that attitude was all-important, more important than the questions to which an attitude was taken, but if he has only dis- closed a neutral attitude on Liberal principles to the senior Liberal organ it can hardly be supposed that he revealed himself in a more impressive attitude to the wise men among the Liberal of the East. Possi- bly the reason that Mr. King is a neutral pn the im- portant political questions of the time is, as ‘the Globe adapt his attitude to that of the Quebec boss, though, of course, it is possible that he had figured he owed some consideration to the attitude adoptedby Premier Foster on thequestion of national unity during the war. Assuming the cor- rectness of the Globes view it is not difficult to under-

. stand his neutral, attitude, for Mr. Lapointe’s atti-

tude is necessarilyneutral on a variety of political questions. That enterprising politician is for the moment mainly concerned about promoting his per- sonal ambitions, and he is by no means certain where he-will fit in when the perturbed political situation in Quebec begins to clarify itself.

Further evidence of continued progress in Can- ada is furnished in a building summary for 1919, published in the current issue of periodical devoted to building. In a total of thirty- eight cities whose building operations for the year 1919 are given the total expenditure exceeded that of 1918 by $37,229,523. A feature worthy of note is the fact that eighteen of the thirty-eight cities re- ported show investments of a million dollars and up- wards.

In Ontario a most remarkable increase isnotcd; Lon on and the border cities of Windsor and Walker- ville are well over the two million. ' Unfortunately, with the exception of Halifax which appropriated over five millions, only two other Maritime cities are included in the list. These are St. John, N. B., and Truro, N. S., which appropriated respectively $2,900,000 and $155,000. "

The total building operations for the thirty- eight cities included in the list amounted to $73,684,- 453. Toronto has the largest total, amounting to $19,420,000 an increase of ten millions over the pre- vious year.

These are evidences of ‘prosperity, evidences which are to be found not only in the thirty-eight cities named but all over Canada. They indicate permanent investment in real estate, employment, manufacture and confidence in the future of the country. .

‘Great Britain is not bankrupt, says Sir George Paish, Advisor to the British Lord Chancellor but intimates that the worldfs trade is facing a collapse unless the United States comes to the-res- cue._ In London some prominent financiers have suggested that the nations should cancel their war debts. The Dally Express, Lord Beaverbrook’s organ, calls this suggestion dramatic and drastic, and adds: “Millions of people are starving in Central Europe, because the outside world, paralyzed ‘by this moun- tain of debt, stands still. What wonder, therefore, that Bolshevism is securing a grip on their minds?” The Express fears that unless America comes to the rescue with substantial credits Euro e will go e chance
