League Leadership Necessary

More serious for the world today than Germany's violation of the Locarno treaty is the fact that the spirit of Locarno has long since been submerged under national animosities and _ ambitions. The ignoring of treaty obligations ; under such conditions was more or less inevit-

able. The excuses do not particularly matter. Germany is enraged over the! Franco-Russian pact, which is in effect an attempt at an Eastern Locarno, but there was nothing to prevent her L entering it herself. Her “encirclement" is large- ly her own creation, for she has frightened all her neighbors. Similarly Italy's resentment over_ the Franco-British treaty fails to take cogniz- ance of the fact that it was her own belligerence which made the agreement necessary. What is essential to the maintenance of peace in the -' present grave situation which has been aggra- vated-but certainly not created—by Germany's armed occupation of the Rhine areas, is the strengthening of the hands of the League of Nations. If the League is unable to enlist the support of the leading world powers in a de- termined scheme for self-preservation through discussion and compromise, what hope, humanly speaking,‘ is there of averting, within the very near future, a world conflict which would be disastrous to victor and vanquished alike. and would set civilization back-mot to the Christian culture of the Middle Ages, but to the barbarous period of the Dark Ages following the disruption of the Roman Empire and the eclipse of all that mankind has striven for and attained?

If League prestige is to be regained, ho\v- ever, it is necessary that its aims and problems should be far more widely understood than they are today. Canada, as a member of the League

quite‘ as important as the financial contribution it makes to League activities. At the present time Miss HERE SPAULL, of the. staff of the League of Nations Union, London, England, is making a tour of Eastern Canada, and will speak this evening irpCharlottetown in the Prince of Wales College auditorium. Author of several authoritative works on world problems, Miss SPAULL has a message which should prove of timely interest and importance to our citizens.

Why The Secrecy‘?

Premier CAMPBELL announces that at the recent Dominion-Provincial conference at Ot- tawa which he attended, a tentative agreement on a method of amending the British North America Act wasreached, and the whole matter was referred back to the law Officers of the Federal Department of Justice acting in informal collaboration with the law officers of the Pro- vincial Governments to draft a revised consol- idation of the Act.

' This information is not very enlightening. what the people of this Province are concerned’ h is the stand which Mr. CAMPBELL took with regard to scrapping the B.N.A. Act as an Im- perial statute, Did he support the New Bruns- wick representatives in their fight for provincial rights, or did he side in with the majority, as he is reported to have done at the December conference?

Surely, before the Legislature meets and Ill question comes up for discussion, the public nhculd have the opportunity of knowing what It ll ell about. The New Brunswick Liberal Government has made it clear that the issues are of vital concern to the Maritime Provinces, And that it stands four-square for minority pro- wincial rights. There seems no good reason why flu Premier and Attorney General of this Prov- heq should not be equally frank in discussing Q Question. ,

The Fish and Game Association have been discussing the replenishing of rivers and ponds with trout. Away in the Malay States they haye been up against a similar problem. Trout eggs from Scottish streams and Somerset rivers were taken to the tropics in tanks, and have been hatched successfully in the Cameron Highlands, 5,000 feet above the plains. It is hoped to have trout fishing within 25o miles of the equator in a few years’ time, but it was feared that the tribesmen would catch the trout before they reached maturity. The Fisheries’ Department of the Malay States called a conference in a jungle village, and the Sakais agreed not to destroy the fish. In return the department made them war- dens of the trout streams, and will reward them for information about the trout.

The Mennonites of Kansas ire the best off farmers in the State, due to their stem economies and “doing without.” One of their rules denies them comforts andluxuries which all farmers now regard as necessities. The horse and buggy

.remams their sole means of transportation, and, although-the more modern people use a variety of farm equipment and implements, the more devout members use only the threshing machine. Their homes have few modern conveniences. There are no carpets over the clean-scrubbed pine floors. There are no curtains at the windows, no telephones, radio sets, washing machines o: in- struments powered by electricity of any kind. They do not den "themselves these modem comforts because of, any intolerance toward mod- em inventions but because they believe the acqui- sition of too many worldly goods will kill the humble viewpoint they hold essential to happi- ness.
