_. NOT THE ISSUE? V‘ 1t is amusing to note that the Liberal press is now complaining that the Conservatives are endeav- orln; to make the Empire trade agreement: the chief issue in the next Dominion election campaign. “In this effort," says our local contemporary indignantly, "they will not succeed"; and lt cites other issues which seemingly it considers to be of more importance from a campaign standpoint. “ l-iwe say this isumusing, because itfiyas Mr. Mackenzie King, and riot Premier Bennett, who called m.- an election show-down on the Ottawa, irazts. That, of course, was before irisrcccnt iight-about-turn. when he ivas still flaunting his 0p- position to the agreements as the chief rcrrson why he should be rc- Jgcigii in ofiicr. On that occasion b; aid many things which prob- :' > y he would now like to sponge ofl ilrc records: for example when he issued this challenge to the Prime

Minister in the House of Oom- mons. or recorded in Hans- ard of Nov. 8, 1932. when the

agreements were before Parliament for. ratification: ‘ Mr. MACKENZIE KING: "My right hon. friend suvs he will stand or fail by these agreements." ‘MR. BEINNMT: "Hear, hear." MR. MACKENZIE KING: “I challenge him to go to the country upon this issue." At that time, of course, the elm- hora had no opportunity to Judge of the agreements. Now that the pacts have been in operation auc- ceesnrlly for two years, And the Prime Minister has intimated that he proposes to accept Mr. King's

When Christ came into the world, neither He nor His im. mediate forerunner, the Baptist, nor his followers the Apostles, though under plenary inspiration. taught that the profession of arms was unlawful, John the Baptist in- structed soldiers to be content with their wages. If he had regarded these wages as but the price of blood would such have been the lesson of the reformer?
