rliosPl-zcrl 0F UNIVERSAL richer:

The announcement was recently made that the "BritishWar Office had requested the universities to undertake research into the development to the ut- most epltent of chemical warfare for both offensive and defensive purposes. ’

The other dayin the House of Commons some one asked how this request could be reconciled with Article 171 of the Treaty of Versailles under which the use of asphyxiating, poisonous or other gasses is prohibited and whether "the investigations would be governed by similar declarations by the Council of the League of Nations.

Mr. Lloyd George replied that ‘this was a ques- tion in which any action must depend upon that of other nations and, as other countries continued to develop this method of warfare the safety of the British Empire would be seriously jeopardized , by lack of similar development-

So the matter stands. The League of Nations arrived at certain conclusions by which the peace of the world would be insured for all time to come. Disarmament, prohibition of the use of poison gasses of submarine warfare and all other cruel and scien- tifically savage methods of defeating an enemy were

How like the good old lady’s faith! She had been taught that the prayer "of faith would remove mountains: if mountains, why not snow banks?

THAT “LATER/QUESTION.

The dispute, or rather the indecision, with ref- erence to the extension of the city's waterworks sys tem to the Hillsborough Bridge section is regret- table and, so far as citizens generally can see, in- excusable. It is true there are but a comparatively few citizens outside of ‘the water zone but these few are citizens with citizens’ rights. Besides this the growth of the city is at stake. There can- be no furth er extension of the city's boundaries unless some as surance is given that city privileges will follow. The want of water in the section referred to is a serious matter in other ways as well as in the privation it entails; some of the children are kept home from school ‘to carry water from the more favoured-sec- tions of the city. The affair is in no way a credit to the city and should have been remedied long ago, when it could have been done much more cheaply than it can now. The winter, it is true, is not the most suitable time in which to do the work, nor is it at all a suitable ‘time to be without water. We trust the City Council will take up the matter at once and let it no longer remain a reproach to the city and an injustice to so many of its citizens. The cost will not be begrudged by citizens who are enjoying the priv- ilege denied these and, in the not distant future, the extension will be a revenue producer as well as a means of health and convenience to those who have too long been deniéd their rights,

lSlr,-ln your paper each day ap- pear frantic arguments in favor of Protection. ‘Manly oi your "argu- ments" are altogether misleading and unfair to farmers.

For instance. you claim the manufacturers do not add th-e duty l0 the price of their articles. You next claim that the farmers re oeive the exact amount of the duty on all. farm products which they sell, over what they would other- wise receive I _

How do you arrive "at this cpn- cllls-ion in regard to agricultural products but not in‘ regard to menu lectured products?

The very opposite is tire else.

The manufacturers set their own prices and can and do add the duly. The farmer must. take what he ls offered-—a pnics ‘sot by hhe export; market. This can be easily demonstrated and admits of n9 quibbling.
