S. Hart, C. A., Halifax,! no Extemal Auditor's report has been laid over by the Government.- 'I‘he Public Accounts have been tabled, ` but these do not balance, and they’ are so badly mixed up, whether in- tentionally or otherwise, that it takes _ some little time and attention to' find out how the Province fares. Af- ter adding and correcting the figures given in the report, and including an item of some 369,000 on the ex- vlenditure side, which the report leaves suspended like Mahomet‘s col-_ lin, the fact is revealed that the. Saunders Government has gone he-I hind nearly a quarter million of dollars _ in twelve months. As there is no Eoi- ternal Auditor's report, we have no means oi finding out the extent sntl| amount of the unpaid accounts which have been carried over to the cur- rent year. The situation is most ser- ious. Year after year the Saunders Govemment is piling up huge losses, and- going on regardlessly spending money like a drunken sailor. Unless something untoward happens to bring the misfit: to their senses we may be faced with another half-mil- llan deficit at the end of the current year, with no present' prospect of any additions being added to our_ subsidy from Ottawa. The fan-ners are face to face with heavily increas- ed taxation, notwithstanding that the Government may again, like other extravagant waftrals, go to the mon. ey london to tide them over for the present. Hr. Lys Eloquence - It wgr- pleasure to note the re- t‘ll.i‘n fa old-time vigor which the I-Ion. L_.ea displayed in the Legis- lature during his speech on the Draft Address. Tha serious illness last year of the Minister of Agriculture was regretted by all, and the fact that he has been to health and strength again is ore than gratify- ing. Mr. Lea spoke for several hours, and he was in excellent form. His speech was ildlnittedly the shlest ds- livery which has come from the Gov- lmment side of the House. It i'ailed,` however, in one very important re- spect. !t was more eloquent than logical. F91' Hllmplc. Mr. Lea made a spir- ited plea on behalf of himself and the Government for falling to realize on our claim with respect to the ex- propriation of the Dalton Sanator- iilm. His contention was that no of- ment's administration. A new idea in theology was put forth by the Minister when he main- tained that as man progresses, it is necessary to surround him with more and more prohibitions. At this rate, the convict in solitary confinement is the ideal citizen. Noticeable throughout Mr. Lea's speech was his avoidance of any ref- erence to the dairy lndustry or the effect on production of the importa- tion of New Zealand butter. As Min- ister of Agriculture, some pronounce- ment on this important topic was ex- pected of him. Perhaps he will avail himself of the Budget debate to go into this question, which is really of more interest to the farmers of this Province at the present time than a rehash of the history of the Technic- al school, which he never seems to be able to get away from. Naval Reduction Upwards? The net result of the Naval Par- iey to date is that the British Gov- ernment has actually reduced its fleet tonnage by 66,000 tons, that no other nation has made any reduc- tion, that all of the other nations proposeto increase their navles. and that the United States will probab- ly spend $l,000,000,000 on new naval construction. This, as the Ottawa .loumal points out, is a. far cry from Rapidan, where Ramsay MacDonald and Herbert Hoover sat on a log to plan a millennium, and from Mr. Hoover‘s Armistice Day speech pm. inlsing to leave no stone untumed to bring about an all round curtailment in sea armaments as Ca stepping stone to reductions in land and all- arma- ments. American correspondents' in London cabled that the Conference is back where it began and that only Washington can save the situation, which it probably will not do. To sum up, the United States has lefused to reassure France by agree- inK to confer in case of a threatened war. France, in self-defence there- fore insists on a bkger navy. All this means that Britain cannot cut, down as she wishes, and this in turll involves larger fleets for the United States, Japan and Italy. How differ- ent the situation would have been if the United 'States had accepted Brltaln‘s proposal to wipe out battle. ships altogether and to limit cruisers to 7,000 tons and if the other nation; had concurred in Britain`s proposal to 'eliminate submarines, or if the United States had come in on the consultation proposal as a step to- wards il. reduction in tonnage by all the five powers. The Idealistie Uncle fer had been made to the provincial delegates and that the Federal Gov-I l ernment subsequently refused to'rec- ognlze the claim. He could produce no data or correspondence to this ef- fect however, and admitted that he was relying upon his memory of what took place. Yet we find the amount of $100,000 under this heading is includ- ed in a pamphlet on our subsidy claims, issued under Mr. Lca's au- thority, published in the Patriot of January 21st last, and finally tabled in_f.he Legislature on request of the Opposition. His arguments in support of the Govemment's administration of the Prohibition Act were also rather sur. Drilling- He praised the Premiers "slncerity"_ in making a full confes- sion of the difficulties that are being ¢XD9rienced; yet he condemned the -Opposition and the Opposition press for stressing these difficulties, alleg- lnl that their motives had been sol- °l7 "to discredit the administra- tion.” _ _ We wonder what the 'rempersnds Wm ll! U0 Mr. Lea's conten- tion that Ill arrests and convictions drunkenness in Charlottetown Sam who was so much to the fore when the Parley was being arranged has given place to the practical, pok- er-Playlng Uncle Sam, and so we are all back where we were-that is un- less some unexpected miracle occurs to save the Parley from absolute fail- UFC. Editorial Notes What really does Hon. Mr. Lea mean by prohibition? He is proud of a record of 318 drunks arrested in a prohibition city of 12,000, This means 318 out of 2,400 adults, or 13 out of every 100 men and women, or 28 011! of every loo' men in chsrlotte- town. If Mr. Lea is proud of such a record under prohibition he is easily satisfied. But was it not merely a "flower of oratory," not intended to be taken seriously; or was he just talking through his hat? While llqn. Mr. Lea was harklng back to the closing of the Tech- nical School, that white elephant of the Bell Government, Premier Mac- kenzie King in Ottawa was telling ' ` ll' CUAYIWFPWFOWN GUARD!

Notes By nie Way __ lt is svliu wind that blows nobody? any good, as the British working men' ale finding in connection with the collapse in the price of wheat. The 4 lb. loaf is the staple food of the Britlshers. and on its price hinges| rates of wages, and 'cost of living_ generally. Before the war the 4 lb. loaf ranged from lc to Oc, but dur-‘ lng the war and since it rose to from 20c to 32c. Recently there was a drop to 191:, and then to lac and now fol- lowing the glut in wheat, a further reduetionib ive is predicted. The prospect for the Westem wheat growers is thus not too roseate, for once the flour mills cut.their pricos| to the bakers thtyare not likely to return to the_ immediate post-war rates for grain. _ _'_"__ i The passing of Earl Balfour remov-_ es a man of undaunted courage, ol_ inflexible will, of clear vision, and in- variably unperturbed temper fromi the public life of the Empire. It was as Arthur Balfour he was best and longest known. He' was the nephew of the great Earl of Salisbury who 'went to Berlin with Lord Beaconsfield and retumed with the famous slog- an "Peace with honour." After the Phoenix Park murders. Lord Salisbury, then'Prime Minister, found it difficult to get a member of his govemment t/o go to Dublin to succeed the murdered Lord Henry Cavendish as Secretary of State for Ireland, and so offered the position to his nephew, tllen a young and_ rising politician. Mr. Balfour accept-‘ ed the office with alacrity, and im- mediately proceeded to the scene of the murder; and moreover, ruled Ire- land for several years with a rod of iron, or with an iron hand ln a silk- en glove. He became known among the Irish Patriots as “Bloody Bal- four," not because his hands were dipped in blood, but because he put down crime in Ireland, by means of the crimes Act, ‘which resulted in many dynamitards meeting their _fate on the scaffold. In the course of ltlme, when peace was restored in Ireland, the people began to admii~e,| and ultimately to love him, so much so that men like Mr. T. P. 0'Connor. M. P., Mr. Wm. 0'Brlen, M. P. and. Mr. Timothy Healey. M. P. used to' meet him socially at the h0n1€S Ol mutual friends, a thing unheard of theretoforet ii? ,_al°lr-_ -'I __ rlsa.

When in the House of Commons he was noted for his care-me-devil attl-_l tude on the Government front bcnch.§ He used to lie reclining on the nape* 'oi his neck. with his ion; legs] stretched across the passage and his; feet resting on the desk on which layi the mace. He listened undisturbedi to all the abuse heaped upon his head and only spoke when absolutely ne- cessary. and then with a winning smile as though acknowledging com- pliments-bouquets instead of brick-| bats. ' Mr. Balfour and Mr. Chamberlain parted company for a. time over Tar- iff Reform. Mr. Balfour, as leader of the Conservative Farty, did not con- sider it a wise policy to commit it to taxes on foodstuffs, which would be the inevitable outcome if the far- mers wcre to be protected. Bo he chose to remain a Conservative Free Trader, and continued so practically until the war drove him to see the necessity of throwing in his lot with those successors of Mr. Chamberlain who advocated "safeguarding duties“ to protect “key” industries. Mr. Balfour had practically retir- ed when the war broke out. but he immediately ,resumed his place in public life and "did his bit," in a way which no other one could have done so satisfactorily. He visited the United States and "'llned up" public opinion there in favour of the allies, at a time when the Germans were moving heaven and earth, and the place under the earth to get Washingtoll to join her, or at all events to con- tinue her neutrality. Mr. Balfour won smilingly, and the die was cast on the side of the Empire. Lord Balfour never married. It was beleived that if he had decided to do so, the lady of his choice would have been Miss Margaret Tennant. who afterwards married his opponent and friend, Mr. H. H. Asqulth (later cre- nted Earl Oxford). They were both Scotch, both neighbours in Berwick- shire, both had kindred tastes, and both .members of that select society of London fashion "The louis."
