Bri- tain might involve changes in the agreements be- tween the United Kingdom and various Domin- ions, has already been given much considera- tion in Canadian Government circles, it is learn- ed. Fear is expressed that Canada might be called upon tc give up some of its advantages under the Canada-Utiited Kingdom trade agree- ment rather than stand in the way of an agree- ment between Britain and the United States. This might be offset, how-ever, by United States granting Canada further trade concessions, al- though the present attitude of British manu- facturers and agriculturists is not favorable to further concessions. x 1v =11 The privilege of a chicken to delay to the last minute its decision as to whether it will cross a road ahead of an automobile is con- siderably abridged in the States of New York by a bill amending the vehicle and, traffic law which Governor Herbert H.

The amended law quires a tnotnrist whose car has struck a ltorsc. a dog or any one of several animals classified as cattle, to report to the owner of the animal or to the police or a judicial officer, exhibiting his license .nd giving his name and address. ln such cases an arrest may be made without a warratit.

A forest/er, Baker by name, 1n the imperial Forestry Service in Kenya. conceived the plan of m. courilglng the protecting and the planting of trees by the natives. Hence came the ceremonial of the "Dance of the Trees“ and a lodgg badge with the words "Watu wa Mitt" 0r “Men of the Rees." Not. because of the crude skim- ming 0f the 5011's fertility by m1- Erflwry maples but under the urge of the modern economic system, the trees of Britain were equally in need of protection. as Baker found Rarely has Britain's assent-ml de- mocracy-somewhat overlaid by the coronatlonb mnnarchlcal page- antry-been better illustrated than ln the llfe of Philip snowden. the Yorkshire Weaver's son who be- came Chancellor of the Exchequer. and Viscount of Inkornshaw.

London houses where he was. for 11 brief time, a sort. of saw- dust, llon; not. tn any group of men and women, but. deep within hls own complex personality. Years ago a poor boy wondered about the moors above ,.mouth, which overlook the Moray Firth. He was burning. one be- lieves. with a certain indignation -an indignation which had its roots in an overwhelming ambition ln a feeling that he was p. fellow ill-treated by life-and he was de- termined that. the ramparts of hls native heath would never set the limits of hls world. Other ele- ments contributed to hls deter- mination. and later to his success. He had a deep love of learhlltg, a desire for culture, and that capac- lty which ls essentially Scotch for dogged evangellelsm. He could ‘not buy a constituency, as the sons of richer men might do; he had no hereditary clalm upon privilege. yet he had a tempera- ment. suited to the excellence of such privilege. He was an aristo- crat. born ln n rude cottage and he ‘ did not like lt at all. One pollt-lcal channel lay open to hlm-—the La- bour movement. He travelled along ft. s It. is difficult. to say where ln- slncerlty ends and sincerity be- gins. Ramsay MacDonald's dot:- ged evangellclsm was bound to tu- serl; itself. and his political career became a great and noble crusade. Perhaps for a time he forgot the glittering prizes which gllmmered far ahead on the road he was travelling-the prizes which Lord Birkenhead, that. cynical lndlvld- ualist, so fltttngly praised berm-e he dled. He was one of’ that sturdy group of fighters; he fought well and fearlessly. He suffm-d calumny. disgrace, physical dan- ger. ostraelaatlon. poverty. He stuck to hls guns. He was a pacifist ln the Great War. He was the com- lng man. He knew lt, and he blded hls time. The hopes of Labour of the masses. were pinned upon hlm, and he liked this, too, for it touched hls vanity and gratified hls eva. gellclam. I But something else was develop- ing within MacDonald during those strussllnz years. He was always an autocrat; he ruled hls political headquarters as the feudal lord might. rule a household. He mar. rled money. He was solitary, aloof, s. little condescending. It began to be noticed (long before the 193! stampede, 1on8 before the first prime mfnlstershlp) that Mr. Mac- Donald set. himself out to be pleasant to the great personages with whom he came lnho contact, and that. the gulf between himself 8nd 1118 Dirty was widening. Still they looked to hlm - this man, so rlchly endowed. who had been given so much which they lacked. this man who would pen! u a Moses to lead them away from the land of the Phat-outs.

But. unlike Chamberlain. he marched with l1is head turned. looking back at. the country he had left forever. Political inconsistency ls one thing; congenital weakness an- other.
