In arriving at rthis conclusion Mr. Hardie travels along a line of fine logic deduced ��������� from the more recent political developments.���������. He says: '' The relations between Liber- " alism and Labor may be thus ��������� summarized. In the House we ���������are generally able, while retaining pur independence, to give a ��������� general support to the government policy, except in regard to their naval expenditure and their foreign policy. To both of these we are strongly opposed. The former is quite needlessly ex-' , travagant, and the latter quite 'needlessly anti-German. In the ^country we act wholly independently of the Liberal party in every During the last twelve months, we have contested eight bye-elections agai; istthe Liberals. "At the presen . moment, the Imperialists absolutely dominate the government and the Liberal party. For some .time. Winston Churchill worked with Lloyd George in the cause of democracy. But now Churchill has gone over, bag and baggage, to the Imperialists. And Mr. Lloyd George is the sole democrat in the cabinet, with the exception of Lord Mor- ley, whose advanced age pre- u According to information brought on the steamer Zealandia, which arrived at Vancouver Tuesday night from Australia, the construction of the Commonwealth's protected cruisers of the second class, Sydney and Melbourne, is being carried on under the strictest secrecy. Increasing Dimensions No official particulars of the ships have been published, but it is unofficially stated that the dimensions will show a slight increase on those of the improved "Town" class cruisers, such as the Weymouth. Already this class has reached three stages. The original "Town" class ships were the Bristols, of 4,800 tons. Then followed the Weymouths, of 5,200 tons, and the latest of all are the Ghathams, of 5,400 tons. The Australian cruisers will be of this latter class, the first of" which was the Chatham, launched at the port after which she was christened on November 10 last. Horse Power The dimensions of these ships have been slightly increased all round, the length overall being carried to 456 feet, 50-foot beam, and 15 feet 9 inches draft. The shaft horse power is stated to be j 25,000, with turbine engines, and the speed of the cruisers will be twenty-seven knots. eludes him from exerting his influence over the Imperial policy of, his colleagues. "Lloyd George is certainly in a position of isolation. If he withstands the pressure of his cabinet colleagues on "matters of naval and foreign policy he will then be elbowed out, and the government will then loose what confidence the working classes may still have in them. Lloyd George would, no doubt, be allowed to remain and dole out certain instalments of social reform, provided he would acquiesce in the navy scare, and the anti-German scare, and the rest. But, in that case, he would loose the confidence of the working classes." Mr. Hardie's deductions throw an interesting light on the almost superhuman efforts that are being put forth by political parties in both the Mother Country and Canada to develop the sentiment of "Imperialism" in the overseas dominions.

This statement was made today by a high official of the state department to Juan Pedro Didapp, representative of the Mexican government. Last week Don Manuel Calero, Mexican ambassador here, hurriedly, left Washington for Mexico City, bearing a personal message from President Taft to President Madero.

Arrangements have been completed between Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state for foreignt affairs, and Hon. George E.

Means are'provided also for building up a distinct Canadian consular service under the auspices of the British service. The plan should prove of the greatest value to Canadian exporters, as arrangements are made for securing information rapidly, while authentic information as to Canadian resources and development will be available in. all, parts of the globe.

MIND UNHINGED Brother of Well Known Bella Coola Rancher Commits Suicide Tuesday 20th inst. Accompanying the statement Chief engineer Arthur, of the S. S. "Venture," spent several hours ashore last Sunday while the ship was loading salmon at the Cannery wharf. Mr. Arthur who was representing Victoria capitalists, was shown over some of the choice building sites by Messrs Carlsen and Harris, (Bella Coola Realty Co.) The developments which have taken place recently, were a source of surprise to Mr. Arthur, I who had not paid a visit to our I town for some considerable time. A fire which, but for prompt action, would undoubtedly have had disastrous results, was discovered to have broken out in one of the boiler houses at Namu on the 19th inst. The fire which started during the noon hour, was fortunately discovered before it had time to get a thorough hold and immediate steps were taken to prevent it from spreading. Several lines of hose were soon playing on the flames with good effect, while hands were engaged moving the piles of lumber out of the danger zone. In a short time the flames were entirely subdued. The damage which was estimated at several hundred dollars will not materially interfere with the work of the plant.

We shall consider the, question briefly'iri'-the order stated at the , beginning of this article. '���������'.������ -<r. 1 . ' " \ '} Vt. i II Ther,e. is. no" question but what a railroad, is-needed to open up the vast interior of.the province ��������� and1 thfe Peace River valley. The crops" of' the4 interior of Canada are in danger every year of being ��������� damaged,; either in quality or price, because of scarcity of cars ^"arid other riieans of transportation to J-bnng -it^ to' the consumers. Heretofore the great bulk of the , crops'have "been shipped East. By the opening ,of the Panama Canal and, with the transformation of the Jment going on, the current of traffic will be reversed; it will flow West to the harbors nearest the producers. This will mean* a -new.-era. for the Pacific coast. ��������� It. will, in a comparitive short' -time," vie- in wealth and population with the Atlantic seaboard. The time is ripe for such a railroad ;��������� the people are anxiously looking for cheap lands, they are already pouring into the Peace River valley ahead of the railroad and they must have transportation; and it will pay any railway company to give it them even miles-ihan either Prince Rupert or Vancouver. It is nearer the 'Orient -than either of them, and the, saving of distance means saving of both time and money, the great factors of doing business economically and'profitably. Bella Coola, and this.part of the province;" - are . entitled to this railroad in preference of the r i cities already mentioned. It isrwise statemanship to ,de- C ' ' ' - ' y e 1 o pie the country - generally throughout, not to build' up one part of the country at' the ex!- pense of .another; not drain the wealth of this part of the province for instance, to build up Victoria or Vancouver.^ It is not just; and any statesman * who- is not" guided by, a sense of, justice, is either a' grafter, or a demagogue. A wise .and good* statesman will see to it, that" every part of the province receives its just" share of development. To build up and rnake a great city still'greater at the expense of part of province not naturally tributary to it, -is not beneficial to the province as a whole; neither would it be to the city in question itself. Such a policy will enrich some men more than is good for either Ihem or their, surroundings; it will congest \the wealth in'small areas and in, a few hands. The same policy is also sure to create that which we fin din every large city, namely slums', with its poverty, vice and crime, a festering sore upon the body politic and a greater menace to our free institutions than the classes financially benefitted by the concentration of wealth will admit. We are likely to return to the discussion of this subject in some future issue, and shall therefore leave the reader to ponder the above facts, ' "��������� . It is surely one of the tragi- comedies of public life, that President Taft, who a year ago i seemed destined__to become the universal peace-maker, should be known, even in his own country,- as" the treaty-breaker. * t , Whatever excuses may be offer- ed for his defence of the Panama Canal ,Act���������and the impending Presidential election is one���������the President must recognise that he has acted in defiance of public opinion in the United States. No newspaper in Great Britain or Canada has denounced this breach of international faith one half so strongly as have the large majority of the leading journals throughout the United, States. Although, the Senate rejected President Taft's proposal to submit to arbitration every dispute between Great Britain and the United State's, there happily exists , a. convention to which the former mayappealwithconfidence. The arbitration convention rati- fied at Washington in June 1908. Provides that, ''Differences which may arise of a legal nature or relating to,the interpretation of treaties between trie two contract- ing parties and which it may. not have been possible to - settle by diploiriacy, shall be referred to "the'Permanent Courtof Arbitration established at the Hague." - To this tribunal the United States must submit the interpretation of the Hay-Paunceforte treaty. Visitors to Bella Cool a would receive a better impression of the place and form a hig.-h.er estimate of its enter-prizing' citizens, if some one in authority would get the Hospital grounds ck .aned up. W-'th this gentle hint vte expect the Government repretentative, together with the othe r members without any bonus or guarantee 'of the Hospital Board will bestir An international court must decide whether or not it is possible for legal ingenuity to reconcile the words .of the Panama Canal Act--"No tolls shall be levied upon vessels s engaged in the coastwise trade of the United States,"with the words of the treaty���������"There shall Be" no discrimination . .'. in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise." To the ordinary man, whether American or British, there can be i r no doubt about the meaning of these worbs. The Hay-Paunce- forte treaty gave effect to a bar^ gain'in which the advantage was with the United States. Great Britain bartered her established right to joint control over a transcontinental canal for absolute equality, of treatment in the Panama Canal. The United States cannot repudiate the con- ditions under which they were granted control over the canal. '' It is no justification to urge ft that' other nations. may subsidise their mercantile marine. Great Britain has never adopted this' policy. . Neither is it any defence to niaintain that coastwise shipping, being exclusively American, does not invade the treaty rights. ' Apart from the impossibility of( defining what is "coastwise shipping in a country like the United States, there is the fact that any remission'of tolls must add to the charges which are levied on the ships of other'nations,to keep up the canal, and thereby violate the undertaking that the tolls be just and equitable. <1}i*sam<*a England, Germany and War The following article appears in a recent issue, of . ��������� World's Work." ��������� 'The A nation's strength and,might Are not her ships and guns, But her. rev'rence of the right And manhood of her sons. The Victories of Peace, Which moves a brute's disdain, Are worth a thousand fights, ' With many millions slain. The madness that broke out four years ago in Great Britain and Germany, the mad fear and expectation of war, shows no sign of abatement. A Liberal Government of decided socialistic tendencies, possessing among its ministers men;otherwise not only sane but long-headed and wide- sympathied, voted another great increase in the naval programme. The speeches in which the budget was announced by the Govern- in. en t and agreed to by the Opposition frankly and by name mentioned Germany as the foe themselves and put hospital matters in such a shape that hereafter patients shall not need to go to other hospitals away from home for treatment. against whom the fearful preparations were directed. "Germany plans for 41 battleships, 20 great armored cruisers, 40 smaller cruisers, four-fifths of the navy to be kept in commission and instantly ready for ;battle," the First Lord of the Admiralty told Parliament. Great Britain is to have, therefore, more than Germany; not enough more to satisfy the Conservatives, or indeed to satisfy anybody, the fact being that England is no longer able to keep an unchallenged place ahead in the race for naval supremancy. Only a few years ago it was the ground principle of British policy that England must have more battleships than any other two Powers combined.

"The strain which Great Britain will have to bear will be long," said Mr. Churchill. "The Country will groan under these .expenditures, "saidMr. Balfour. ''And,'' objected Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, "they will be utterly inadequate. You will add year by year just enough ships to tempt Germany to follow suit until war comes." ������ Has the rest of the world nothing to say1 as. to wether two members of the family of nations shall thus tempt and taunt feach other to a conflict which will upset the globe, cutting off supplies from countries dependant upon them, .interfering with trade, altering- prices,, and bringing ruin to thousahds^of foreigners? Nothing to say as to whether they shall go on pouring out treasure for instruments and implements of war, the very existence of which is the reason of the jealousy which drives' them on to conflict. In a large view of civilization in the view which a few years more is certain to be an accepted commonplace, England.and Ger many have no more, right to stop the current of world's traffic, inconvenience and injure other people dependent pn their good behaviour, than two bad boys have to start a fight in the middle of the street to the annoyance of everybody.
