Nothing requires more emphasis at public patriotic meetings than the fact that Britain could not descend to the inhuinan tactics of Germany in carrying on the war. Were Britain so minded she could utilise means oi' wiping out the enemy that would leave them literally not a leg to stand upon. Lord Duiidonald’s secret, which is still in the archives of the War Otiice wus admitted by a coniiniltce of experts to be such us to end a war in as inuiiy hours as it is taking months to-day. But the method was described as so inhuman that it would stagger liuinnuity. Need we doubt for a moment that were Ger- inuny in posscssioii of such u secret she would hesitate to avail liersclt' of it Germany will resort to any means.l be they ever so foul or fienrlisli to gain her end. Britain cannot, dare not, do so. She is lighting for fair play ln warfare as well as in times of pence, and she will not besinirr-li her cscutchcon even though it may mean a! prolongation of thc war. Not only does Britain fight fair in the field, she fights fair in the world of diplomacy and commerce. I-Iavingi obtained command of the seas there was nothing to liliider her to declare what she liked contraband. She could have, for instance, listed cotton as contraband and probably eiidcd thc war by this time. This is what such authorities as Sir William ltuinsay, the great scientist, and Mr I-Iillair| llclloc, the great naval and military authority, deliberately; asscid. llut while it would have been to llritiiiii's advan- iuge so to uct. it would not have been to her credit-at li-nst not so long as the cotton crop of America was__stllL unsold. As ii contemporary remarks, if Great Britain had made cotton contraband at the start of the war, she would liavc induced a condition of cruel business depres- sion in thc Soutlicrn part of the United States. It ls all very well to say that wc are fighting for civilisation, but that is no excuse for a violation of international law or an action for which wc have not received the sanction of those who are to suffer most ot' the immediate consequences. 'l`hc liritish Government could not have adopted a paternal altitude toward neutral nations without serious conse- quciices. Such action would have been accepted"'as British adliorcnee to the doctrine that “might is rlglit,” since the llrltisli people have no right to assume that the honest eoiivictioiis they hold regarding the war are held with <“1u-.il force in neutral countries by a sufficiently large nnniber ot' the pcoplc ot' these countries to prevent ii critical situation from arising. Great Britain’s policy in ri-g.iril to neutrals. from the first, has been carried out with a generous appreciation of the rights and conditions ol' neutral nations. Such a policy may possibly mean ri longer wail i`or military success than a harsher policy would mean. lint the nation which espouscs a high ideal in goin;-1 to war labours under ri heavy responsibility in tlii-so matters and, in a world war, the British policy is as wise as it is lust. MACHINE GUN FUND At the rctniest of Mr l~l. (3. Flood, Mr A. W. Hynrlman, manager' of llic ltoyal llank, has accepted the position of treasurer of the Machine Gun Fund. The Committee will thus consist of the editors of the three Charlottetown daily papers, with Mr H. C. Flood as Secretary and Mr A. \V. liyndman as Treasurer. Mr Flood has iriready received promises of substantial support, and everything points to Prince Edward Island being well represented at the l`ront by machine guns. intending contributors should communicate direct with Mr Flood or Mr Hyiidman or [through any of the newspapers, ami acknowledgement of contributions will be made through the various news- ,papers. ‘ In addition to the gun already furnished by Messrs Matthew & McLorin, Ltd., the people of Sourls and vicinity have now taken in hand to furiilsli another gun, the fund for which has been started, headed by Mr John Nichols with a subscription of $300, and it is expected that within a day or two the full amount of $1,000 will he collected und' forwarded to the Minister of Militia and Defence, Ottiiwii. It is understood that Mr W. H. Aitken has offered $250, and other three such donations will provide one gun. Hon. Justice I-Iaszard has given $50, and other 19 similar gifts will provide ri third gun. Mrs George E. Auld and family have offered to provide u gun between them. Thus It will be seen that the people of Prince Edward Island have only to be shown the iiced of iinythin in coiinoello nbillty. LABOR ORGANIZATIUN IN CANADA The fourth annual report on Labour Organisation in Canada, containing 238 pages, embodying statistics, etc., for the caloniltir year 1914, has been issued by the Depart- nic-nt of Labour. Many will find ii special interest in the chapter con- taining ii discussion of the bearing of the European war on vnrlous aspects of trade unlonism. which includes also the tcxl of dellverances of representative labour organisations in dllTerent countries with respect of war in general or having special reference to the present war. Figures are printed showing the number oi members of trade unions. who to the close of the year 1914. have as recruits or reservists gone to the’ front from Canada. The trade unions furnished ln all 3,498 recruits and 417 reservists, these figures not including recruits joining the forces since January 1915. The standing of the chief cities from this point of view is shown ln the following statement.:- No. of No. of Ciiilil Enilstments Reservists Toronto Montreal Vancouver Calgary Edmonton Victoria Ottawa Regina Quebec Hamilton Saskatoon Moosejaw London St. John Lethbridge .
