Canada's Forestry Corps, London's Pigeons And Souvenir Hunters 0f War Gain Mention In Sir Lionel ’Earle's New York.

(By ‘llllllnll T. Champion. Can-

adian Press Staff Writer)

Iiounofl, March is-A 11191.7

book of autobiogmphy, containing several references to Canadian matters is offered by Bir Lionel Earle, who recently retired from the permanent secretaryship of the Office of Works, which- he bad filled for 30 years. The Office of Works has the care of the royal palaces. the royal parks, govern- ment buildings, embassies, legs- tions, and consulates scattered all over the world. Sir Lionel had al- ready seen much of men and cities when he became private secretary to Lord Crews at the Colonial 0f- fice in 1808. He was promoted to the Office of Works in i912.

In common with everystate de- partment the Office cf Works turned almost exclusively to war effort in August, i914, and 8ft Lionel had much to do with the supply of timber for the war zone. The supplies for trenches, duck- boarding and pit props, rose to roughly 120 tons dead weight monthly. "vifhen the submarine campaign became too intense, re- sort waa made to forests in the Vosges, where Canadian timber gangs, who had been operating on forests in Great Britain, had. to be transferred. The French, who have always been expert forrestcrs. marked trees in the forests which were to be spared. This was a source of in-tense irritation to the Canadian B81188. who hitherto had always dealt with a. forest like cutting through a cheese."

Sir Lionel, who was largely re- sponsible for housing in Paris the British delegation to the Peace Conference. has a lurid tale to tell of souvenir-members. Coffee and tea sets, dish covers, etc., were taken as mementoes. "It was re- ported to me that a. ‘elegate from one of the Dominions had taken a whole tea service in plate. I wanted to prosecute, as an ex- ample, but I was not allowed to do so, and perhaps wisely. Seventy lute plate meat covers were miss- ing, and I believe that every car driver attached to the Mission, who had come from the war zone where pinching had become a habit, had taken these articles as memen- toes"

Threatened the Dungeon

An entertaining letter from the Duke of‘ Argyli to the late Sir Al- fred Mond (afterwards Lord Melchett), then Commissioner of Works, is given in full. The Duke was much incensed because his Castle of Dunstaffnage had been scheduled as an. ancient monu- ment, whioh brought it to some extent under the control of Sir Alfred Monds department. The Duke referred to an "impudant letter," which the Office of Works had sent to "one of the Duke's oldest hereditary vassals as well as one of the blood of his House," and wen-t on to speak of the "very secrecy and mole-like stealth with which Sir Alfred Mond’: office was trying to carry through the mat»

ter." The 1min letter from the 1

Duke stated that "if Bir Alfred Mond or his understudy, Sir Lionel Earle, present themselves the walls of Dunstaffnage Castle,

His Grace has given the most di- an

mot instructions to his klnsmen and vassals to clap them immedi- ately in the dungeon."

The re-conditioning ‘of historic Westminster Hall-where, incid- entally King George will receive addresses from both Houses of Parliament during the jubilee cele- bration this summer-gave Sir Lionel Earle and his staff a good deal of trouble in various direc- tions. .

"Before the War s replica of the well-known and attractive statue of George Washington by Houdin, which stands in the museum at Richmond, Va, was offered to London by the United States," says Sir Lionel. "This offer was con- sidered by the cabinet and accept- ed. Within a. few weeks I began to receive letters from Canada to say that, if it were erected anywhere in the neighborhood of Westmin- sler, they would hack it to pieces. They still regarded him as the rebel. There was a certain amount of opposition iii other quarters."

Sir Lionel Earle decided that Trafalgar Square would be a suit- able site for the statue, and this proposal was enthusiastically wel- comedgthroughout America. Lord Curmn, however, who was then at the Foreign Office, persisted in ob- jections. "I fear I then got very angry and told him that I be- lieved he attached little import- ance to matters outside the realms of Persia and Tibet but there were in my opinion matters affecting our country far greater than those. l-Ie asked mo if 1 had not mm

him enough. I replied: ‘No, unless

outside e

my words bear fruit.‘ He then said. ‘Go away and return to your work and I will think over the matter.’ AnhourortwolaisrJnodCuraon agreed to ilhfl #0908113’ i

A curious little story relates to the decoration of the Nelson monument in ‘rrafslg-ar Square for tho halo-Igor centenary celebra- tions. The wholc of the platform at the top of the column and Just beneath the actual statue of Nei- son, was covered with skeletons of pigeons. ‘They evidently went up there to die. Eight tons of pigeon guano were removed in baskets. and nine hundredweight was found in the top of Nelson's hat.

“Since high commissioners have been appointed to the Dominions. the department has had to provide official residences in Canada, the Cape and Australia," Bir Lionel re- lales. “At Ottawa we were fortun- nte in being able tosbuy a prop- erty known as ‘Earnsoliffe,’ over- looking the river, the old home of Sir John Macdouald, probably the most famous of Canada's prime ministers. I believe Mr. Bennett, the present prime minister, was anxious to buy it for his own use, but with self-sacrifice stood aside, when he heard that the British government desired to possess it. Moreover. he 8c y presented a bust of Sir John Macdonald, by Sir W. Reynolds-Stephens, to be placed in the house.”

Committee Seeks Best Procedure For Get- ting Pro sob Be- fore British Gov’t.

(By ‘line Canadian Peel) UITAW . Much id-liow to amend Canada's constitution. the British North America Act. by de-

termining what support on amend- ment must have before it can be presented to the British govern- ment for eppioval. icons of the most intricate problems facing par- liament this session.

seven times the act has been amended. either the Dominion gov- ernment or parliament making the request. The provinces were con-

sulted on only one of these oc- casions. But the changes brought about by these amendments were not vital ones. Prime Minister R.- B. Bennett's reform measures make the amending process important.

Introduction of legislation which is questioned as being ultra vires of the Dominion has brought the B. N. A. act into the limelight. T. L. Church, qioronto, Conservative member and forrrer Toronto mayor has dubbed ft the "Pam-the-buck act" because it has been pointed. to as an obstacle to social reform legislation before.

So the best procedure to be fol- lowed in amending the sot is be- ing sought by o committee of the commons, headed by i". W. Turn- bull, (Cons. Regina). leading con- stitutional lawyers and the views of the provinces will be beard on the question.

Many iegard the act as a treaty among the provinces which entered confederation in 166i. On this basis any change in the treaty should have the sanction of all tho provin- ces, which would make Canada's constitution probably the most rigid in the world. Another sug- gestion is that changes should be made when the Dominion and a majority of the provinces agree.

Dr. O. D. Skelton, under secre- tary for External Affairs. suggest- ed different proceduro slwuid ap- ply to different dments. some might be made at the request of the Dominion parliament without reference to the provinces. These would be changes which did not affect the provinces. Othsrs should require the sanction of a majority of the provinces along with the D0- miniou. In the case of some clam- es, which protected the right of minorities, changes should only be ruaib when there was unanimity all found. I

Dr. solemn’; klef‘

The United Kingdom parliament is the oniyi authority that can ‘thellrtmootamiechsnge being timed is that Canada should have the power within itself to amend its constitution. All the other self governing dominions of the empire have such power. ' "No other country in the world looks to the parliament of another country for the shaping of its con- stitution," Dr. Bkclfon said in a brief now before the committee. "To retain permanently the in- tervention of the parliament of the United Kingdom is either super- fluous or dangerous. If that par- t is to act automatically, its intervention is superfluous; if it is to exercise its own discretion its in- tervehtton is fraught with danger to continued good relations between Canada and the mother country. "It would be unfair to the Unit-

-:

r ed Kingdom to ask it to intervene of in our local differences and it is

s task its parliament would not ct:- siro to exercise.

"It will of course be necenory, once we in Canada have reached as wide a measure of agreement as is possible on the method we de- sire in use in the future. to so to the British parliament and ask it to act once and for all but that is a very diffemnt thing from asking it to retain indefinitely this an- omalous and outgrown arrange- merit."

Dr. Skelton traced the methods "used in various Dominions to change their cunstltutiov- 'v~ also dealt with the United States sys- tem where the various s. h. legis- latures vote.

"It will not be an easy task for tho members of the committee to decide upon a plan of amendment, neither so rigid as to mobs change impossible. nor so easy as to make it foo frequent." Dr. Shiloh said. ‘Some one has said the amendina clause in tbs constitution ought to be like a slfiaym valve. It will r2; quire a cons ble pressure steam before it will go off. but it will allow the steam to escape ba- foro tho explosion occurs.
