net leading traducers of the

llaollillan Government are at-

tempting to snake capital of their

ownvglaring neglect or cowardice in the Legislature. _ During the last session Mr. J. P. McIntyre insinuated that he had in- formation which, if insisted upon. would compel the leader of the Gov- ernment to resign "his seat. This threat was nothing more than black- mail. offered by one who was ‘wil- i" ling to wound and yet afraid to . strike." Neither-he nor any mem- - ber of the Opposition made any charge, or any motion calling for an “I investigation on which a charge "l could be based. Such was the ‘J proper course open to him. But he was evidently afraid, by preferring ‘i charges, and courting their invest- q igation and disproof, that he would " himself be forced to resign his seat. " Now that the campaign is on and the Government guns are hammer- ’_ ing the flimsy Opposition arguments . and mlstatements inic splinters. the McIntyre insinuations are be- ing revived. Mr. LePage, as was to be expected, is the first to voice them. Having now no seat to lose and no sessionai indemnity to risk, he "gallantly" declares that the Pre- mier should resign! , _ The people of the Province may judge for themselves the merits of the Opposition case, when such cowardly tactics are resorted to. "Kill Macmillan at all costs" is the

word that has gone forth to the _ mud-slinging brigade; and they will '

certainly do their best-or worst-to do it. “Tl-As man Mschllllan," who has achieved more for Prince Ed- ward Island than any Premier since Confederation, who has brought the Province through the worst depres- sion in history and is recognized throughout Canada as one of the ablest men in public life today-he must be “rubbed out," in the inter- ests of the Liberal party.

Such is now the Liberal campaign. Is it one which the people of this Provincewill tolerate and indorse We do not Ohhlk l0! " —‘

A HOPELESS POLIC

One of the most important planks in the Conservative platform is the! assurance of continued co-operation with the Federal Government in re- ference to public works projects in order to relieve as fully as possible unemployment in the Province.

y _ 'I‘his. the Premier explained in announcing his party platform, has been the Government's policy I0! ‘the past four years, ‘and on -this policy it is being bitterly attacked by the Opposition.

But it is to Mr. Thane Campbell that-we owe the reminder of the most remarkable example of Liberal “asking" and getting nothing. At the Tignish meeting the Liberal deputy leader scoffed at the Mac-

Notes By The Way

Now the great food industries of the United States following closely the example of the textiles. have

The, Duchess of Kent made her first ofiiclal speech in England and it consisted of “I have much pleas- ure in declaring the exhibition open." Only nine words yet they constituted a beatiflc contrast to the lengthy outpourings which too frequently bore the crowd on other like occasions-Brantford Expositor.

In the speech which Lord Tweeds- mulr made in his native countryside, the valedictory note is unmistakable. It is natural that. in setting out upon his new career, the future Governor-General ofCans-da should feel the sadness of farewell; but in this case the sadness is deepened by the reflection that “all is not well with Scotland." That is a con- clusion which, however well founded in fact, no Scotsman would accept from any but a brother Scot; for however "the steamroller of pro- gress may be flattening out many of the pleasant features of the landscape,“ it has had no percep- tibie effect upon the Scottish pride of race. That is the last thin; which Socialist internationalism shall put under its feet-London Morning Post.

It need not be anticipated that the police will go out to look for trouble in connection with any sit- uation that may arise in Regina. The police prefer peace to conflict. When the police act in a situation such as may arise in Regina they act only on the instruct‘ons of the civil authority. If the police are de- fled the State itself is defied. Those who attack the police. even verbal- ly, especially where the police are acting purely on the instructions of the civil power, at once place them- selves under suspicion o: being ad- yocates of force. violence and arm- ed revolution-Regina Leader-Post.

It is easy to foresee that Peking. already deposed from its eminence by Nanking ‘and reduced to the status of a decaying provincial capi- tal, will decline still more in im- portance. The latest crisis in its history can only confirm the im- pression that the maintenance of the British Embassy there has become an anachronism. The centre of Brit- ish dipiomacy in China should be at the heart of China, at the new capital of Nanking, not in the an- cient city of the Mongols of the Ming dynasty, and, last of all, of the Munchus. The old capital has become at once a museum or past glories, and an exposed and defence- less border city.-I.ondon Times. The day of long speeches, says Sir Francis Floud, is “definitely over": in Britain. Not so in Canada where! the people, the British High Com- misioner thinks, have “an amazing patience." Sir Francis is wrong about it. What he accepts as pat- ience is Just the resignation of utter exhaustion. Canadians suffer ion! speeches, not gladly or patiently, but because they can't help them- selves-Halifax Herald.

The whole tenor of the Chan- cellor's speech shows clearly both that the ultimate objective of Brit- ish monetary policy is the return

nation or the pound sterling would be in the highest degree unlikely. It is no use "in try to anchor a ship if the anchorage is always shifting." It would be futile, as both Lord Bradbury and Mr. Chamber- lain said, to attempt to bring about stabilisation until we can see some prospect of stability of conditions after stabilisation has taken place. —London Financial Times.

Started By Stevens

(Mail and Empire) In viewing Mr. Stevens‘ declara-

party we agree with Premier Tasch- ereau of Quebec that third parties in Canada never got anywhere themselves or did any good to the country. Their history is that they bloom, blossom and. fade away. They have their moment and cease from being. That was the case with the Patrons of Industry, with the Uni- ted Funnel-s of Ontario, with the Progressives, and with other move- ments which temporarily sought the limelight, only to disappear before the onset of public opinion. Mr. Woodswonh himself has admitted that the 0.0.1". has no chance of winning the coming general election nnd he speaks as if he suspects Mr. iiievens of designs to take over his organisation and put him out of business. The prospect is that Mr. Stevens may do the Liberals as much harm as Tie will do the Conservatives. As long as he was under the party banner there were a lot of Conserv- ritivés who felt like giving him sup- pm-t. Now that he is an out-and- out rebel against the organization, the old party loyalty will inspire many Conservatives, formerly fav-

What provoked the reference was the 0m‘- ious view, much more widely heard than held. that disciplined physical training is a form of "nli1itarism"or conducive to it. The Prince con-

hownvmcmllz: fessed himself mystified that, cer mlluflty of Phy-

the systematic and gall

tain people, sharing the wmanon and. in Britain, the universal ab- borrence of war. together with the knowledge of “the appalling distrem - to the whole world" which it would bring. should seek to concentrate their hatred of war upon “any form of healthy discipline and training."

Among those who do not emulate the Prince's power of discrimination in this matter is Mr. Lansbury.

and both utterances, it must be said with respect, are masterpieces of

in a genial and unexceptional vein of expostulation. Mr. Isnsbury says that he believes in discipline. but it must have nothing to do with “shouldering a musket or playing at soldiers." Detestation oi’ the cadet corps is graven. or perhaps tattooed, upon Mr. Lansburys ample‘, heart. He wants them abolished. and doubtless it makes no difference to hrlm whether they are voluntary or not. There is moral peril in famil- iarity with a uniform. a rifle or the drill-book. Mr. Lansbury did not say what he proposes to do about the_ earlier and universal stage of contamination in the nursery; nor did he explain vi/hy. if all military training is a danger to the peace mind. his campaign for the abolition of thearmed forces of the Crown has not begun. In short, he exhib- its the usual self-cont. -" "M" of the high-speed “pacifist" and that very attitude of mind which’ the Prince described as a mystery. The avenge citizen is honestly baffled by its wilful irrationality.

It is potent in the first place to every unwarped intelligence-a mat- ter of ascertainable fact-that O.T. C.'s boys’ brigades, scouts and the like do not turn out "war-mongers." The British. it has been remarked, are a warlike but not a military na- tion. ‘Iihey have the will and the capacity to defend themselves and to defend a principle effectively if need requires it; but they (and their soldiers. too) have a notorious antipathy to the doctrine that pat- riotism always wears uniform and that the march to glory is inevitab- ly through destruction.

Never was this antipathy stronger among them. The conception of dis- cipline presented by an annual camp or Jamboree or a public schools’ field day is as remote as it could well be from that worship of force which "anti-milltarists" have imported from abroad for their own purposes and seek to fasten upon a perfectly healthy activity with a normal and nccesary place in edu- cation.

There is no doubt that he has had- quite a following amongst the less well informed elements of the coun- munity. I-le gained favor in some quarters by insisting that Parlia- ment should pass legislation which would be beyond its powers under the British North America Act and lead only in disappointment if plac- ed on the statute books. It should be added that thus far Mr. Stevens has been unable to a. nounce the oo-operatlon of any really promin- ent people in the country. A new party has to have strong leadership before it can make progress. This is about all that can be said about the fonner minister's departure at the moments-It maybe that he is manoeuvring for some objective still undisclosed.
