March 23. - Pro- vision of a Dominion Govern. ment bill to render aid to any projects of road building in order to provide' employment as well as-io work material improvements in the ,grids of Canada will probably occupy milton for some time. it crime up Friday night when lion., Dr. lipid moved u resolution enabling tho government to devote a certain rmiouiit. 01 money for the purpose or cncouriaglns road -building. Tho plan, ns already explained at length by nioinbcrs of the govcrnment`whenever opportunity oil'crod,` is to advance money to the provinciltl governments using their road plant and organiz- ation to do the actual work. The only provision for Federal Govomincnt aid is that pious of roads io bo built, including tho location, must be approved by Dominion Gov- ernment engineers hcioro the grunt t-un be made. . Discussion of the iusiicr in com- mittee will likely raise some debate. Them is it feeling in some quarters that while it is quite right to place' upon the provinces the responsibility for road building, yet it is not al- together iidvisabln to turn the money over tn provincial road departments and thus give' them tho prestige of having larger resources and thus be ablo to use the extra road money for purpose of patronage. Men who take this view stty that while the Union Government is in power in Ottawa all the provinces still 'have ndminlstratioiis on the old line poiitlcni system and in many cases partisanship runs high. Con- sequently Conservative unionists coin- iug trom province, wberoliberal ad- ministration is in' dis- posed to look with unmixed fa r on any' plan that may increase the power of these -administrations. The same thing applies to Liberal linionists from provinces where the provincial administration is in cou- servittive hands. Obiection it is thus soon is not confined to one side of the House and there is likely to be an effort in committee to propose that the money shall be handed to a pro- vincial road commission which shall 'be under the control or the federal government. Millie from consideration of the S00d roads measure, it is dlillcult to silly Just what will occupy the attention of the House during the coming wenin The soldiers' Land Settlement pol- icy niust be given consideration soon ns the time is drawing noni- when tim mon will bo wanted on fn;-ms 10|- secdlng purposes.

Thus Ontario would get about $8.- 1-i0.000 and P. iE. island some $750,000 or lnorc. These nmounts tire not yet ileililiteiy fixed and provision will be mado to increase them if it is found the original amount is not sufficient to permit the provinces to give its sistfitice to all wanting to take-advant- age of the plan. The housing measure is not likely to be discussed during this week but` will be one of the early matters after roads are disposed of. . Altogether the week promises ro, be an interesting one from the stand- point of the importance of the legis- lation that may come up. 'lt is un- likely there will -be much bitter debate its the opposition is not likely to at- tempt to challenge the governmentfs strength until the budget. The harmonious result of the tarlif caucus Thursday und thc statement that there will be general revision oft the tariff next summer has been ui silrpriso to the Opposition who ex~ pected a serious spilt which did not materialize. i (Special to the Guardian) LONDON, Mar. 23.-The first triumphal march on a large scale or British troops which fought in l-‘runco and Belgium occurred in London to- day when fourteen battalions of the guards and representatives of all the units of Great Britains crack corps accompanied by their bands proceed- ed from their barracks to Bucking- ham Palace where they were review- ed -by King George.
