Mr. Ben- n§tt rightly contends that neither Chnada nor any other country can ggvt anywhere for very long until iq has developed the capacity of living within its means. The spendthrift thinks nothing of the future, and the spendthrift coun- try or statesman is no better. The Prime Minister realizes that the time has arrived when Canada must consider her expenditure as well as her revenue. It is all very well getting new markets for our surplus products, and protecting our markets from the inroads of cheap foreign competition; but if .at the same time we are paying out more for borrowed money than the revenue we are securing, “we are Just going~as much behind as though our foreign markets were non-existent. Mr. Bennett's proposal is to have the Federal Government, the Pro- vincial Governments and the mun- icipalities recall all their loans is- sued in prosperous times at high rates of interest, and re-issue them to the jircsent bondholders ata re- duced interest. .In other words, bonds issued at from Eli to 3% per cent would be recalled and re-issued at, say, 3 per cent-saving enor- mous expenditure in interest rates. The second proposal is to pro- vide work for the rising generation by retiring all those wozkers who have reached the age of sixty years and over on a substantial pension allowance.

Each year there will be additional vacancies age. Mr. Bennett estimates that the cost of this plan will be no more. and probably much less, than the present cost ofdefraying the un- empoymcnt expenses in each of the nine provinces. Until further details are received, we cannot judge of the accuracyof this claim; but 0n the surface it seems perfectly feasible, and one which will be appreciated by in- dustrialists and Economists through- out the length and breadth of the Dgminyon. ‘ The Prime Minister points out, in: answer tovthe laissez falre atti- iude of the ‘Liberal party leader. that even if conditions prevailing at the peak oi the boom years were restored, the numbers of unemploy- ed‘ would not be reduced to the formrr level.

Canada will not take part in any war over Ethiopia, should either the League of Nations or any “bel- ligerent paciflsts" in Great Britain drag the Mother Country in. And this, as a Montreal exchange em- ,haslzes, is the only war question that can arise before the general election. As to the future, Mr. Bennett is no soothsayer and he does not pretend to be. If the very existence of the British Empire were at stake in some vast world catacylsm, certainly “the true in- wrest of Canada" would be involv- ed. Mr. Bennett is not taking us out of the Empire, but he is say- ing that he is opposed to sending out young men to die in a foreign quarrel where no Canadian inter- eet is at stake. EDITORIAL words About the most that can be said of Mr. King's reforms ir-he put them in a book. and there they remain. Mr. King capitalizes on the short memories of the average public and their lack of the knowledge of his- tory, modem and ancient. There is a great lull in Liberofl activit/les these days.

Ironically enough it has been left to the gfave and loyal Sir Austen Chamberlain to reveal the most startling of all facts about the Lloyd George Coalition. In the chapter of his memoirs, published by the Daily Telegraph on July 6th, Sir Austen discloses: that in January, i919. Mr. Lloyd George ofiercd him the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, but said he could not have No. 11 Downing Street because Bonar Law would continue to occupy it; that after high words over the house between him- self and Bonar Law, the latter was so kind as to warn him not to take the Exchequer without a seat in the Cabinet; that Mr, Lloyd George admitted this to be the plan for “his idea had been not to appoint any Cabinet!“ How could there, he asked. be a Cabinet "when the Prime Minister. Bonar Law, and the Foreign Secretary (Balfour) were all in Paris. They must be plenipotentiaries; they could notbe constantly referring to a Cabinet at home." Sir Austen pointed outthat this fantastic scheme meant no re- sponsible Government in London, and Mr. Lloyd George acknowledg- ed that misgivings on this score had already been expressed in the highest quarters. Sir Austen goes on to say that the compmmire of continuing the small War Cabinet was then agreed upfln. so that the most important MinLsters habitual- ly attended the meetings without responsibility.

Dewar, New Perth, from Mr. R. H. Campbell. Victoria, BC.) I presume it was you "who sent me a copy of the “Gust-dinn" con- taining W. P. Callaghan! interest- ing article on "Crossing at the Capes?" Mr. Callaghan! article re- called vividly to my mind an almost forgotten adventure. Bis .irst cros- sing was my first crossing too. It was, I think in 1887-forty-elght years ago last February. Most of the passengers had expected to cross in comfort in the winter steamer from Pictou to Georgetown, and consequently were not suitably clad for such an experience as was ours at the Capes. Certainly, that was so in my case. You can take it from me that a hard hat and light shoes were not what that bit- ter February day demanded. In regard to the number frost- bittcn, my recollection ls .hat on our getting back with great diffi- culty to the hotel several hours after having left it, and on a careful counting of casualties, it was found that every man was more or less frozen except me. Naturally, I was very much puffed up over my su- perlor powers of resistance, but when next morning came my com- panions gleefully pointed out a coil- siderable discoloration on my chin, as proof positive that I had not es- caped unscathed, my boasting came to a sudden end. That, at any rate, is the way I" have been telling the story. I should like sometime to pay a public tribute to the brave fellows who manned those now obsolete ice- boats. There have been tragedies at the Capes, it is true, but when one considers the manifold dangers of the crossing and the many win- ters during which those little boats were the only means of transporta- tion between the Island and the mainland, the wonder is that the tragedies were so few. That they were so few is, without doubt, due to the sklll—now only a memory- of the brave and hardy boatmen. To estimate the dangers to which these boatmen and their passengers were sometimes exposed in certain conditions of the ice and the tide and of the wind and weather gen- erally, one must see the Strait as Mr. Callaghan and I saw it on that February morning. To begin with it was bitterly cold, l6 degrees below zero. I believe. The ice was racing through the Strait at a terrific pace. The lolly seemed to boil as it sped along. the ice was thick with frost ice half.an acre or more in extent, on meeting the board ice, would grind themselves to powder or would perhaps leap the obstruction and as they spread over its surface, break into hundreds pf fragments with a grinding, reading roar. A magnific- ent spectaclc, truly, if one could view it at a safe distance, but we in our little boats would be quite satisfied with something less spec- tacular. Once as we tried to work our way towards the shore, we were caught in a field of lolly. We couldn't n nlk on the stuff and so couldn't pull the boats. Rowing was out of the ques- gan to sink in the lolly and the wa- ter oozing up began to freeze them fast. One of the boatmen Lied the end of a long rope around his waist and taking an oar in each hand coolly cast himself prone on the treacherous surface and paddled llis way to solid ice; others crossed on the rope and soon the boats were freed. Of coilrse those men could be pulled back into the boats in the event of their going down. but how long would mcn. oncc wet, survive in the scaring temperature of that day? Personally, I would as soon face an encmy machine gun 1's to do what that first man did. So much for his bravery. Among the passengers was a man who had been seriously hurt in the lumber woods, and who was practic- ally helpless. l-Ic could not move about like the rcst of us and conse- quently suffered much from the cold. - 1 sat crouched in the bow oi one of the boats and watched the faces of the passengers whiten with the frost and I watched too, the boatmen, their own faces whitening, strip off their coats and pile them around the injured man. That's the sort of men these boatmen were. My second and only other "cros- sing at the Capes" took place twenty-seven years later, and was scarcely less exciting than the first. Strange that I should have struck what were probably the two (vorst crossings in twenty-seven years-a punishment for my sins. no doubt. About the beginning of March, 1914, Hon. Murdock MacKlnnon, then Minister of Agriculture, and I, then Superintendent of Education, were going to Ottawa to attend a big convention on Agricultural Educa- tion. As the winter steamer was stuck in the ice somewhere, we de- termined to cross at the Capes. Bo on Saturday morning just as the sun was rising, we found uriieives at the outer edge of the board ice at Cape ‘Io-averse, where five ice- whoie slice and to its formation into an island."

The diy was fine, the strait was almost clear of ice, an easy crossing, I thought. But I noticed the Captain holding a consultation with the older mem- bers of his crews, evidently discus- sins with them the advisability of making the attempt. Finally they decided to try it, and we were 0B- Then I begun to discover some of the difficulties. Outside the board ice there hurl formed during the night a thin coating of ice which had to be broken foot by foot for a hundred yards or more. Worse still, outside the thin ice was a brood belt of lolly in which we were en- tangled for a. long time. At last we were clear and the crews back to the oars. But a change had come over the day. The sky was now overcast, the wind blew strongly from the north west, the sea be- came rough and the day quite cold; a strong current was setting towards the east. To avoid shipping too much water, we had to steer the boats straight into the wind and could only edge gradually towards Tormentlnc. Pulling thus against both wind and tide, our progress was slow, at times almost unper- ceptible. As the crews tugged des- perately at the oars, their work be- came harder and harder. Ice form- ed on the oars and on the hulls of the boats in a thick and heavy coat- ing. Any water that came aboard- and a. good deal came-changed at once into ice. The spray froze on our clothing, even on our faces, Ev- erything was ice. The boats became dangerously overladan. It cost l-lnle and distance to pull the boats up on floating ice-fields and rid them of ‘their burden, but sometimes it had to be done. Hours passed, hours of incessant toll at the oars. One crew became exhausted and their craft drifted helplessly down the Strait. The Captain's boat had to stand by to help them. It was nearly mid- night when they at last succeeded in making land near Argyle Shore. The other three boats succeeded in reaching Tormentine, and I assure you it was good to feel the solid board ice under one's feet again. Someone should write "A Saga of’ the Iceboat Men" before the mem- ory of their courage and hardihood is lost." PUBLIC roam lilo eels-n lo ‘open for he correspondents Qneetlell ef that.

It must be noted that while qual- ity of roads and adaptability to travel is moderately criticized in both cases, the bitterness of com- plaint is from the deceptive infor- mation handed out by government direction, in which Nova Scotia is scored, and New Brunswick oom- mented on only as to "The deflfee of excellence in the provinces is lower than in this country where every one is used to hard surfaced roads." It may be noted also. that the Liberal government has been in power in Nova Scotia for several years, there under the promises of perfect administration, with years in which to perform its work and to educate officials up to decent stan- dards of courtesy and truthfulness.
