interesting more from the fact that it hovered at all
times on the verge of disolosures than because of the
fact that real disclosures were not allowed to be
made.”
This is the (irit version of the enquiry by the Royal
Comniissioii on the Kyte charges. The "verge of_ dis-
closures" is the favorite atmosphere of present day
Liberalism. lt does not matter whether “real disclo-
sures" are made or not so long as the agiiator and the
scandal inoiiger can keep the people on the “verge of
disclosures,” can keep them in an expectant mood, can
keep their eyes on the dangling bait.
It is a frank though huiiiiliatiiig admission, 1\Ir.

GERMAN COMMERCE
trade has been practit'§l}§ly'§!l:fitt___o@‘~.i.-Sht.' has only l\or~
w/ay, Sweden,_Switzerland, ttiiid Holland with whom
she can still trade.. i Ofithesc the iron ore and other
_minerals fro`iil_Sweden‘are most important' and Bri-
tish submarines are making that commerce very lia-
zardous. The enormous supplies from the United
States are completely shut 05 by thc_»Vsea blockade.
Under special agreement of about ai yeariago the allies
permitted the United States to deliver to Germany a
certain amount of cotton with the understanding that
Germany would deliver to the United States a certain
amount of dyes_ The goods were to be delivered
within a certain time and the cotton was to be traded
lor the dyes. N0 money was to be paid by either side,
It was a special courtesy of the Allies-'toirelievc a
threatened dye famine in the United States. The cot-
ton \vas delivered and paid for. The time expired.
And, now, the United ‘States-is surprised to learn that
the Allies will not allow Germany/to deliver $50,000,
000» worth of dyes and receive cash payment? But,
‘the most signilicent part of the affair is that Germany
seems to be producing dyes in _such quantities at the
present time. We may well ask ourselrcszi What else

tiate tlic charges made by himself through his mouth-
piece, Mr_ Kyte. The “real disclosures,” did not how-
ever materialize, as there were no such disclosures td
be made, but he succeeded in keeping his witness on
the "verge”,and that furnished the necessary material
for the Grit press to keep up the howl that" has been
in the air since the Kyte charges were made.

the ariiiy oats and hay, the Dalton Sanatoriuin, the
Departineiit of Public Works and other easily i'enieni-
bered _scandals which never got beyond the “verge”
stage but which were worked for all they were worth
while there.
This “hovering on the verge" is poor business and
c wardly as well. It were better to plunge in like nieui
;l?id, if there are real wroi_igs» to grapple with them
and, if not, to admit it like men. It may be true~ as

sult of the war, a dye industry has been started in ling
land and several processes have been put into effect
in the United States and Canada, to effect a partial
recovery from the waste. 'l`licrc is an enormous op-
portunity for capital in this sittlatioii and it is to be
hoped it will not be lost. "
