Landmark In Empire Relations

The (luestion of revising the Ottawa agree- ments has been for some time now under _rl_is~ cussion between representatives of the British and Dominion Governments. The negotiations (says “United Empire," journal of the Royal l-Inipire Society) are stated to have proceeded 0n lines satisfactory to all concerned. The Chan-

cellor of the Exchequer, in his speech at tht,

Constrvative Conference at Margatc, set Ot- tawa in its proper perspective. There was, as he recalled, a period after the war, following the passing of the Statute of Westminster, when it looked as though there “'21s a real danger lest. in the event of a clash between sentiment and iminctliate national interests, sentintent might be overlookcil. -“Ottziwa," said MR. CHAMBERLAIN, “was an attempt to bring the Empire together again and to supplement and support the com- nion sentiment by bringing more material inter- ests into line with it." The Chancellor, for his part, has no doubt as to the beneﬁcial result of these :i_urceiuents, whatever (lilficulties may have zirisen over their interpretation. I-le looks for- ward to the young nations of the British limpire zidvzincing in numbers, in resources and in pow er, and forming, together with the lfnitcd King- dom. “a fortress of (lemocrzicy which need fear no onslaught from without." tlic‘ Congress of the British Empire Chambers of Commerce at Wellington suggested that pcr- haps the Governments concerned are moving forivard too eziiitiniisly, hut he agreed that the ioitiiilzitioiis laid at Ottaiva were _,-ounil_ Wllllc the innnt-tlizitt- service rendered by the Ottawa .'f!_‘l'\*t‘llIt‘i1lS has heen to give a real stimulus to linipirti trade. there are signs in other ilirectiotis of ll]il\(‘llli'lll5 that should help to round them pit. lu both ,\tl.~lt"ftll.'f and New Zeiflzinil, for iii-lance. .1 i‘(‘~1ltfll]\llt>|1 of imntigrzitioii is being advocated; and at the British Plmpirc (ihamherg ofufoiiiiiii-ri-i- tftingress a resolution was passed aiririniiig “the vital importance of thl- early n? inioreenieiit of the populations of the Domln. 171"‘ h)’ ﬂlililllilcfl and suhstzinfial migration."

Notes By The Way-

We do not love Oimmlmlam In this country, and even our Social- ists are now critical of the Soviet system of government and its re- sults. 3511f while we dislike commun-

ism, and still mom the methods by which ft has been forced on Russia, we have no desire to be associated i with Germany in an anti-Commun- ifst orgy of hate. Hen- van Ribben- trop has made a false move at the outset of his career as ambimsad

1n trying to enlist this wunlry "1 the German war on Communism.

He cannot be told tioo early or too , firmly that. he will not promote

Anglo-German friendship aloft; these lines; 1f he is to fulﬁll his mission of bringing the two counn tries closer together, he must; 1n- form his government that British collaboration can be secured only on the basis of a policy of genera‘ appeasement-Edinburgh Scotsman.

The foreigner may be pardoned for wondering ff Japan has much democracy to lose. The Japanese Diet. may say what, it likes on issues of defense and foreign policy, but it has no practical way of making its criticism effective. The peculiar Constitution of the Japanese State

issues of policy. It is laid down ml the Constitution-and the principle has been affirmed afresh in recent yearh-that the Army and Navy are responsible, not i0 the Cabinet but: to the Emperor atone-Glasgow Herald.

A rather neat. phrasewas turned bv Mr. Anthony Eden in his address at Bradford. During the course of his remarks, which were largely ad- dressed to European dictators and wciild-be-clictzitors, the foreign sce- i-etary urged the world to “turn from armaments competition to ec- onomic co-olaeration." Mr. Eden would be the ﬁrst; to admit, the present state of affairs calls for sontetfiing: more than high-sounding rurttses, but compare his ardent plea for world co-operation with Mussolinrs “forest. of bayonets" and similar utterances by Iiitlen- Winclsor Daffy Star.

DIAKING THE MENTAL PATIENT FIT T0 LEAVE THE HOSPITAL

Patients in mental hospitals differ from those outside because they are unable or unwilling to "give and take, and assume the xe- sponsfbflfties of a member of the community. i

Thus 1t. is not a matter of brains.

cides who shall be inside and who shall be out fde our mental hos- pitals.

Thus many apparently normal or average fitdivfduafs begin to find that their wot-k seems to much for them. They try to convince them- selves or ma try to convince oth- ers that the fault. is not, theirs and they seek means of avoiding work and responsibility.

Now to let. these patients enter an institution where everything t: supplied them-food, dothtng, warmth-may be good treatment for a short time in that the "lead of responsibility" is lifted from their shoulders, but if they are ever to become "itormal" again they must. learn to shoulder responsib- ilities and take their place among 141118? who are normal.

But. the Free State still has not. cast. itself loose from the Empire or the British Crown. Mr. dc Valera ls nor yet. ready to proclaim the coi1n— try as republic.

Accordingly the Frce Stat/e llﬂS joined the fest. of the Empire in aulznoivtcdgfng the transfer of kingshil) from Eldwnrd to George VI. Mr. cle Valera is always cautious in phrasing.

The Basques (Halifax Chronicle)

The incidents now taking place between the Basque country on the Bay of Blscay and Germany have centred‘ attention on this particu- lar people. The Basques are an entirely different. folk from the rest, of the peoples of Spain. Their language t not. Spatitslt. but. ts peculiar to themselves, and ft 1s not. related to any other European language. Their laws and custom are different from the rest. of Spain and they follow a national dress of their own. ’I'hey thus con- stitute a pecular people the origin of which ls still obscure.

The Basque provinces are three in number, stretching along the fertile country beginning math of the western end of the Pyrenees and following the angle of the Bfscay coast. These three provin- ces from far back have stuck to- gether in a sort. of loose federal union with one another, employing u n symbol of their unity a seal with a word meaning "The Three ma" inn-thud upon 1L Ital bu:

With nine mmiﬁs of the fiscal ~ year past 1t. would appear that Mr. C. A. Dunning, Finance Minister of the Dominion, is likely to keep the deficit of the country this year within the limit he named in his budget speech lasi Spring/when he budgeted for a deficit of $100,000,- 000.

Revenues are increasing. but that. l is no reason why expenditures l should not. be scrutinized oloselyl until they are in a reasonable ‘ balance with the income.

It ls not. likely that 1i. will t ever 1111 be paid off, but It, should certainly be reduced to more reason- able proportions 1n relation to the population so that the burden of interest. charges will not be so heavy, as they are now at $138,500,- l 000 in the fast ffscnf year.

en , And drcnch it 1n his dew, and with the sound 0f doves and ﬂutes O wipe the gash that: bled, And press wet. cloth and pour balm on the wound! For it is Spring, and Love 1a once more mrd. And from the dust of death the white brief bud _ Breaks through, and from the red hilt of his sword A mac will ﬂash out like u drop of blood! though

What walla can stand.

Death bufds deep and strong,

(By JUDITH ROBINSON.)

The Now Yea-r doesn't promise much amusement. Consider utstead Fanny Lucy, Lady Houston.

Now while she's waiting for her executors to find her will and dis- cover hoiv to bury her ts as good o time as any to consider that. most. surprising Dome of the British Empire. For about now a lot of, superior and scholarly editors of the old Saturday Review should be be- ginning to stop revolving in their graves. Like them. their successor. Lady Houston is dead at last. It.

‘must. be quite a relief to their re-

mains.

Looked at from the point of view of Beresford Hope's ghost, or Pro- fessor George Sulntsburyis or even Mr. Andrew Lang's, nothing that can happen the Saturday Review from now on can possibly be as painful as what happened 1n the years when 1t; was Iiady Houston's.

libr Itself, this space has only ltappy memories of Lady Houston's Saturday Review. Most of them concern the cover. The first thing the lady dtd when she bought the sedate and snooty Conrervatfve weekly was to change its cover. she put. it into red, white and blue stripes Each week thereafter the parallelogram of Imperial patriotism used to come to the old Globe office. Each week some joker would lay the out-rage on the desk of the only man 1n the office who was known to tiave rend and cherished the Saturday Review tn the days of its good taste. And each week the victim, taking one look at the new cover, would do hlslxest. to 58y some part. of all that he thought. about Fanny Lucy, Lady Houston. Though he never exhausted the subject. he said quite a tot. every

‘time. Yet it didn't. seem ‘to help

him much. The next WEEK when he came upon the ehangeling he'd be as mad as ever ugﬂ-ln-

As a publicist; Lady Houston affected some people that way. As a. publisher, 1t ls said that she affected her editors that; way. For the Saturday. Review did have editors under Lady Houston. though not always for tong. Editors came and went. They came and, accord- ing to report, its soon as they tried to remove a little libel from their emiployers weekly tributes tn MI- MacDonafd or Mr. Baldwin they went The strain of editing the pro- przeiressls copy was too great Moreover, the proprfetress didn't- want. her copy edited. She had boutrht. the Saturday Review as a medfiun of Imperial self-expression. She expressed horse!‘ tmperizilly and the British libel law was nah- lng to her. She was the ri l¢5i widow in England.

The theory is that. the S iiirdny"

Review escaped most of tlir- faw- ’

stilts its owner invited simply‘ 1w- cause of the shrinking oowurdaze of British statesmen. N0 politician- however l/FB/(lllCCd, dared risk a libel iwtton against Lady Houston. He would have been iauzhed If W? much

So there ircie no libel actions. though ti; was a poor issue of the Suuirdiiy Review that. held no seven-letter early-English rater-nice Mr. Ramsay MacDonald's doubtful

paternity and no announcement that. Mr. Stanley Baldwin was a. sooundref. a potiroon, a liar, n.

traitor, or 11ft four

Lady Houston was a woman of strong dislikes and no hesftancy at all 1n put-ting words to them. More than that. she was a spirited old girl and a character. Haunting fears that the race was sinking into tasteful mediocrity, small gentle- mimltnesses and thin tolerance could always be dispelled white she lived and contributed to the Sat- urdiiy Review. For her contribut- ions did not suffer from either geniiemaniines or tolerance and they were not mediocre. They were bad They were terrible.

That ls the way Latiy Houstol thought, and that's the way sht wrote. But, for all that, the world Ls a duller place for her death, and a less English. For she belonged by right; in the oldest English tradit- fon; the rich, high-hearted, wrong- headed fine of succession that. comes down from the Wife of Bath of Lffy Morris of the music ‘ails by way of Margaret Newcastle and Aphra Benn and Neil Gwynn

and Sir Jolin Falstaff and Mr. Pickwick; yes, and Elizabeth of Etngland.

She was an original. And when the Einglish race stops producing originals, then will be the time to give it, up for lost.

Which is the thing that Fanny Lucy, Lady Houston. D. B. E.. would never have thought. of doing.
