CIIRISTIILIS NUMBER

With indriyb 15.5110 is included l‘he Gurrdnzrs spccnl Christmas lumber. While the stories, illustra- tions and verses are calculated w appeal esppcinlly to the younger folk, they have a dressage which we trust none of our readers is too aid or too sophisticated to enjoy. Someone has said that Christmas h the revival of the gentler emo- tiom, s sort of llrviut llflinst the lelfish motve inhering in our prac- tical economy. Better to say that it relates itself to the highest moods of the human spirit, and stands true to the loftiest hopes and aspira- lions of our race. It ls s season of armistice amid the clash of sell interests which prevazl throughout the rest of the year. It is given aver to the exercise of the human- itics. How much better it would be i! we could continue the Christmas throughout the nerrt twelve months! Economic conditions are hard the world over, but that k all the more reason for welcom- ing the coming anniversary with loy and thsnkfulness, The one thng needfulis to give ourselves and pay each other the one eternal debt of friendship, good cheer, helpful ser- vice, and love that man owes to his fellow men. We can sll do that, whatever our financial circum- stances may be. Then may we con- fidently hope that the stare will light our way into a new heritage and in the covenant of s new fellow- trfpsllhmrtsmsyjoinandswell the resounding harmony that once rang down over the Judeap hills.

A LEGION PROGRAM y

The Summersde branch of the Canadian Legion has in Willem- platlcn a series of public lectures to raise money for the relief of needy lx-servlce men during the winter lenson. Thr- srhcme is a. commend- able one, particularly so in view bf me subjcci. matter of the pro- posed lectures, the titles of whch are n3 follows: "From Canada i0 Kurdsian," a sketch of [the adven- tures of 44 Canadians sent on a mm missicn to Northwest Perm; ‘With the Canadians in A918." d" soripilve of the deserts of Turks!-

These lectures should arouse wide interest. We need to be reminded. at other tunes than on Remembrance Day, of the achieve- ments of our service men, some of

whom will find diflicuity in getting

along during the coming months.

A TRUE DEMOCRAT

Canada lost a sterling citizen fn the death yesterday of the ' Roy. George C. Taylor. During the years of his ministry es pastor of Zion Church in this city, Mr. Taylor en- deared himself to the community as few men have done. 1n his sorv- ice as Chaplain during the Great War he was also in close touch with Prince Edward Islanders, particu- larly with the rank and filo, for whom always he had a special af- fection. Indeed, throughout his whole career ft was the virtues of the common man that most ap- pealed to him. He was a true demo- crat, believing implicitly in the equality of all men before God. ‘Ihis conviction, mellowed by exper- ience and exalted by religious con- templation. gave to his utterances, whether from the pulpit or the public platform, a ringing sincerity, an eloquence tuilaboured and un- assumed which went directly to the heart.

To many in this Province, to whom his name was a household word, Rev. Ivlr. Taylor will long be remembered with high regard and esteem.

THE KING’S BROADCAST

I

901M day. predicts the Iondon Times, a book of memoirs will be publ shed (but not yet awhile) in which the writer will explain exactly how it came about that‘ on Christ- mas Day, 1032. the King spoke from h‘s ovm home a. Christmas message to his people. We shall mad (and a very mterestlng story it, ought to be) how the idea sta.ted, how it grew, what the negotiations were, and how they felt about it all in Broadcast- ing House before their petition had been made, and agan after the King's consent had bccn received. And if a, year later, another book of memoirs shou‘d appear, delicately shifting on to other brows the credit of the success, and then perhaps a third book and a fourth, until the clamants are as many as the in- ventors of the tank and the men who won the War, that would be only natural. Who could fall to want to be believed (by himself as well as by others) the most effectual agent in so felcitous s piece of hsiory-maklng?

That story is at present unknown; but We have the result to rub along with. and it is, in all seriousness, enough. The King has broadcast be- fore; and his voice is known to his people as that of none of his pre- decessors ever was or ever could be. BL; sentiments are also known: he and his people have been too long together and have been through too much together to leave any room for doubt of his earnest good will and his heartfelt care. But it is one thing to hear him addressing some great national or Imperial gather- ing, making a speech officially in the character of the Emperor and King,

I In view of the attitude of the administration at Washington regard to trade with Canada, the war debts and other matters it does not seem that shipments of Can- adian productsover United States railroads and from United States‘ ports should have the preferences agreed upon at Ottawa. One reason advanced by the government of that time for the budding of the 'I‘rans- continental and Grand Trunk Pac-I ific was’ that grain shipments from the West should pass through all-l Canadian territory, and it was even’ said that 1n passing through United States territory inferior products might be substituted to the injury of Canada. This may have been I little far-fetched but there is good reason for requiring that all ship- ments getting the British preference

The book is by Francis Gribble, and ll entitled "What America Owes Europe." The subject is not new to firltlsh people, but it is worth‘ reviewing at the present time. -

The facts can be set out briefly as fcllows:— _

Several American states have repudiated loans. floated in Europe. for such civil purposes as roads.

The French bill for munitio supplied to America during the Wl-I‘. 0f Independence 1s still unpaid. America still owes England money paid to British subjects on Ameri- cab behalf in respect of their American property confiscated dur- lrrg the war of Independence. The sum, at Mr. Gribble's estimate. would now be £1,024,000,000 at com- pound interest!

America still retain; £10,000,000 of the sum which was paid to her to make good the damage done by the pflvaltecr Alabama during the American civil War, and which was
