Hon.~ L. S. St. Laurent, Secretary of Slate for External Af- fairs. The proposed settlement, it is pointed out, need not result immediately in a formal peaQ-treaty between the victorious Allies and the defeated enemy. There is at presnt no German government to sign such a treaty mr is it clear that any such government will ex- ist in the near future. The real guarantee of tho dunrbility of a German settlement will havo to come, first, from agreement among the Allies as to the basic principles which would underlie it; secondly, from their continued readiness to enforce these principles. If the present task before the United Nations be envisaged as pre- paring the first draft of an international statute for the future regime of Germany, this, it is suggested, would facilitate tho association of smaller powers with that work. The German people, the memor um states, have for many centuries constituted a recognizable racial group in the centre of Eur- ope and within the past century have formed a modern national state. lt is believed, there- fore, that a German state of some kind will have to be reconstituted in central Europe. The German people, however, have clearly demons- tigated that they have not sufficient experience in democratic self government to prevent a centralized state becoming tho instrument of despotism and armed“ aggression. For this rea- son, the German state should be federal and not unitary in character. Decentralization in Germany through federation could be mode ef- fective and acceptable, particularly if it were carried out in the economic as well as in poli- ‘tical fields. The political authority of the vari- ous states of Germany, and the economic ties between the various parts of Germany and the neighboring sections of Europe should therefore be developed. A federal system in which residual auth- ority rests with the member states and in which the powers of the central_ government are strictly limited and defined, is suggested as be- ing required in this instance. ln particular, the constitution should so circurnscribe the finan- cial and military powers of _the central gov- ernment as to make it legally impossible for the reconstituted German state to build upthe re- sources necessary to make war. _ _ The report deals with the importance in European economy of restoring industrial pro- duction in Germany. As an important contribu- tion to this end, the Canadian Government would urge the early establishment of an economic commission for Europe, such as _has already been proposed by the United Nations, but _has not bee-n put into effect "because of olbyec- tions which, in our view," the report sayi. lit!" no validity." _ . _ The report also deals with the questions of German reparations, which must be geared to the level of economy and standard of living ‘ permitted to the defeated enemy; also with abol- ition of German armaments and armed forces, and establishment of effective ipternatioiiol safeguards against violations and evasions by GermTliey" Opposition leader, Mr. Bracken, said that so far as he was able to Will“ "'9 Gwem‘ m-ant's attitude on this question was commend- able.

First, I want to com- pliment him upon the clear tatement he mode velopment of Canada. Second, I want to com- pliment him upon the art which he in common have developed rapidly, that is to keep both eyes open when hunting for the weakness of the Opposltionbut to put the telescope to the blind eye when it comes to looking upon the count- less sins of the Government.“ _.- EDITORIAL NOTE$ — The Ottawa government's non-war ex- penditures are now much greater than the com- bined war and non-war expenditures in l9l7-I8. i i One thing we may be thankful for-that we are still able to get along even when parti- ally deprived of what are considered life's noc- essities-—heat, light, power. But if would hard- ly be safe to prolong ‘the experiment. ln order to increase the quantity of Scotch whiskey for export to this side of the Atlantic onnoun ‘ is made in Edinburgh that there is to be a l0 per cent cut in home whiskey dis- tribution in i947. ls it any wonder there is an increasing demand for restoration of emigra- C Q O i Getting back to normal.

The best known are: "Round The World in Eighty Days", "Michael Stragoff", "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," "The Mysterious lsland." I ‘k i i‘ Government radio is having its own trou- bles these days, and has been endeavouring to prove alibis-to indicate that its deficiencies are no fault of thb management. This is how The Printed Word views the situation: "Here in Canada, where the government networks com- pete with private stations, the private stations are bossed by the government radio-bossed sometimes reasonably, sometimes capriciously, sometimes arbitrarily and always with no right of OPPEOl\M independent authority. Here in Canada,we combine the worst features of both government and private radio, for we are taxed $2.50 per household for the benefit of govern- ment radio and still must listen to the commer- cials. Of coiirse mast Canadians can, and many do, tune in the U. S. stations where the commercial is heard in robust purity, and un- defiled by a sonctimonious attitude of culture." ‘k it "Q i A return to wool clothing is predicted. A "far-reaching fundamental change" in wo- men's fashions, accompanied by better quality of material, is in prospect, the convention ‘of the American Wool Council in San Francisco was told by Mr. F. E. Ackerman, its executive dir- ector. He said that the demand would be for "excellent worsteds, fine wool duvetyns, suedes, meltons and modified liroadcloths — fabrics which fall in graceful lines and which respond to the increasingly intricate tailoring demand- ed by the new feminine silhouette." The trend in men's clbthing, Mr. Ackerman added, was chiefly toward lighter weight, with a corre- sponding need for higher quality of woolen fab- rics. A "battle of the fabrics" is indicated by competition of synthetics and rayon, according to Mi. W. P. Wing, secretary of the California Wool Growers’ Association. He said that wool producers would have to he alert to keep their product "all wool and a yard wide" if they were to survive. What the Maritimes need is the proper de- velopment of our resources and potentialities, and men with sufficient ability and stick-at- itiveness to see that this is brought about.

I. - Parliamentary Reflections ‘PIG-HIYZNING THE NOOSE OITAWA, Feb. '1 -Rarely has the roar of the opening guns in Parliament's Debate on the speech from the Throne been anticipated with as great interest as was the case this year. The reason was JBehlnd-the-scenes sources in the Capital had broadcast the pro- phecy that a changed John Brac- ken was going t.o be seen ln ac- tion. The story was that, after several months of patiently paying out the rope of over-confidence to the Liberal Ministry, the Progres- sive Conaervntlve Chieftain at lest was ready to begin the process of drawing lt. tlghi. around the politi- cal peaks of Mr. King and his Cabinet colleagues. The presentation of the terse Progressive Conservative amend- ment which didn't waste words to charge that the Government had lost the confidence of the country was the welcome fulfilment of this prediction. For the John Bracken who cllmaxed e telling speech with this all-out challenge to the Llb- eral Government was g different John Bracken from the one the Commons had grown accustomed to see. He was o. different John Bracken Simply because the national situa- tion had changed for the first time so as to allow hlm complete frea- dom lo attack.
