It seems now under r-rcsident Hoover that, farm relief across the ‘bordé is to be brought a‘- bout by buildingup higher and still higher the lofty‘ tariff wall to keep out everything which Canadian far- mers produce. ' " A snrplnscl almost 590.009.4309 illlt _ncw announced by Hon. Winston Churchill for the past fiscal year’ seems to" have caused suiprise and astonishment in England and "else- where. As iswell known, Britain has been setting aside 8250-0004500 yearly as {sinking fund toward the reduction oi her "war debt,_whi1e taxes have been r over there than in any 0th? country. It had not been expected that at ‘beet w? considerable surplus for lest year would be realized,-but 1s,ooo,coo pounds sterling is a very consider- able sum. _ Thene is o. general election near .at hand and there are a million and a half of workers unemployed who _must be supported, yet with ell ‘her heavy burden the, United Kinldilm is paying it's way and bailiff! "5 debts with something to the good. Quite naturally-the question arises in many minds, what adisposal will Mr. Churchill make of the handsome surplus‘). . There ‘are many things he might dc, or attempt todo with it, but ev- ery astute politician must-take note of what his opponent may be plot- ting on the other side. Mr. Lloyd George, for instance, has put for- wards plan which iieaflirms will give large immediate employment. greatly-improve the internal trans- portationof the Kingdom, end un- employment within two years, and do all this without it costing the taxpayers a single penny. That is a large order, and many Conservatives think L. G. is E large measure a." dcmagogue and that he promises better results for his _plB.l‘l than Tie‘ earl bring about.‘ Also his plan involves the. immediate bor- rowing oi many millions of pounds. Such borrowing meets with strong objections. In any case the election will be a three-sided‘ orlo. The Baldwin Gov- ernment has been losing seats in the‘ quite "numerous by-eloctions of-late the seats being captured somewhat alternately by Labor or Liberal can- didates. Quite naturally both these parties hope to gain more seats in» the ‘ Lelection. Unfortunately for Mr. Lloyd George and his plan, his party itr the present House is much the ehiailast oi the three. Ap- parently at this writingMr. Ramsay Macdcneld and his lieutenants are fairly ‘conildenif- that Labor will come through the "election with the largest number of supporters in the" House. Premier Baldwin .is still more confident that the Conservatives will be the largest party, but whe- ther it willbe sumcient to give a majority olrer all the opposing forces is seriouslyooubted. “ A ‘ ii!‘ In Ottawa Parliament has renun- ed its session since the Easter recess with the budget debate yet unfinish- B.

In November i017, tho Allied cause was over- shadowed byia double disaster: the collapse oi the Italian army at Cap- oretto and the advent to power of the Bolsheviks in Russia. The situation was perhaps the gravest which the Allies had faced since 1014. No longer was it a question, as it had been in the spring‘, how best to defeat Ger- many; the problem was now, how to escape defeat. The crisis which followed Capo- retto and the danger that theend of the war in the East would permit Germany to concentrate in over- whelming strength in the West, stim- ulated Lloyd George to the decision which he had been pondering for some time, ‘and which he had discuss- ed with. Sir Henry Wilson in Aug- ust. Ii the Allies had been unable to win when holding numerical super- ‘iorlty overthe enemy, what chance had they now, unless they adopted new methods? Reliance upon the hammer-and-tongs strategy of the General Staff, he argued, had result- -od in tremendous losses in man-force silid no material gains. Allied strength liad never been pooled, and each army llad done what seemed right in its own eyes, with the result thet_one by one they had been defeated. The -sole'hope for the Allies lay in 're- gardlng the _ battlefields“?! s. single front and in the establishment of unity of command. Lloyd George in a speech at Paris ‘on ‘November l_2 publicly affirmed- the failure of Al- lied military policy, as‘ he reviewed the strategical errors of the past three years; ‘ ' ‘It is true we sent forces to Sal- onika to rescue Serbia, but, as usual, they were sent too late. . . .

The war has been prolonged bysectionallsm; it will be shortened by solidaritf‘ Mr.‘ Lloyd George recognized the impossibility of persuading British opinion‘ at "this time to accept a ‘gcneralissimo. Such a suggestion would almost certainly have brought about the overthrow of his Govern- ment. On November 19 he told the House of Commons" that the .31). pointment of a generalfssfmo ‘would produce real friction, and might really produce not merely friction between theqArmies, but friction be- tween the’ nations and the Govern- ment.’ He was equally opposedQto a of coordination that might be secured by joint action oi .the British and French chiefs of Staff, partly, perhaps, because of hisiack of confidence in the ‘traditionalfsm’ of the professional soldiers. - The Supreme‘ 'r‘l'ar_ Cour-loll Aooordlnc to the. memoirs of‘ i4.

Up- on Mr. Lloyd George fell the burden of advocacy~of the new venture, for the - French Ministry‘ was ‘over- thrown on November 13.

CANAL AND VIAIIUOT "Sin-The fniormetim zromiottg. we according t» an item in your is- sue of this mornlnfi. is to the elect that plans for car ferry have not yet been. formulated. "It appears also that a viaduct is being considered, Intimates having’ been procured thereon. A resolution was recently unani- mously passed in the House of Com- mons to have a survey and investi- gation made with the least possible delay to ascertain the feasibility of a ship canal’ across the Isthmus of Chignecto. Such avcanal if built woulfextend along ,-or- near the boundaryliine between New Bruns- wick andNova Scotia. The entrance to the canal on the Ncrthumber- land Strait would be at Bate Verte within-about fifteen nliles ‘by rail or water from the proposed viaduct. If a ship canal were considered feaslbleit might be a great saving in time and money to have both canal and viaduct constructed at the same time. The material excavated in making the "canal could. be utilised lllfblilldlllg the viaduct and could be conveyed by rail or by water on scows from the canal at Bale Verte to the viaduct at Cape Tornaentine. The estimate made some years ago oi about $7,000,000 as the probable cost of this ship canal would have reference to a smaller canal than would bo required now, owing to ‘the ad- vance since made in ship uildlng, but on “the other hand methods off excavation and construction‘ have also ‘advanced, and, without any data at present to the contrary, an estimate of $9,000,000 or $10,000,000" might reasonably be considered as the probable cost. Estimating a simi- lar amount for the construction of the viaduct it is reasonable tosup- pose that if the construction of both were undertaken at the same time and the matcrialixcavated from the one used to construct the other‘ a considerable reduction might be made in the esifmatesw If from this were deductcdahe several millions which the new car ferry will cost. and what a third oar ‘ferry will cost in a few years time to replace the old one how getting out. of repair and out of date, and the other out- !
