The Week A British Columbia Newspaper aad Review Vol. XIV, No. 33—15th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, January 27th, 1917 President Wilson's Speech FOE a long time President Wilson has been afflicted with cacoethes scribendi. He is now breaking out in another place and is apparently afflicted with the madness of speaking. His address to the Senate is without precedent, and without justification. If it is sincere, it is the vision of an idealist and a dreamer, and for its realization the first condition would be the peopling of this world with a different type of man. If it be a political ruse, as most people believe, it is inopportune and indefensible, indeed it has been not improperly designated a piece of "colossal impertinence." In any event it ignores the prime essentials of the case, which it professes to discuss, and it enunciates new principles, which no nation in the world would agree to accept. A Munroe doctrine extended to Europe by the will of an American president, and a "peace without victory," are two inconceivable propositions. President Wilson has done nothing to justify his attempt to force these views upon the world, indeed his whole conduct during the progress of the War is the strongest condemnation of his present attitude. His severest critics are to be found amongst those of his own countrymen who think for themselves, and their opinion is admirably expressed by a cartoon in New York Life which represents the President as a blind old man carrying a stick, cautiously feeling his way and being led by a dachshund. If this is not the true conception, The W0e.k has another guess coming. A True Story THE indignation aroused in the ranks of both political parties by the unjust dismissal of the late Deputy Minister of Lands has. placed the Minister on his defence, and forced him to offer some explanation. It is a pity that before doing so he did not consult his constituents of Prince Eupert, because they would undoubtedly have warned him against publishing such an improbable story as that which he gave to tho Press, especially when they themselves were in possession of the facts and the latter were bound to leak out. Those facts are, that prior to the General Election the ono man in Prince Eupert in line for the Liberal nomination was Mr. G. E. Naden. He was easily the most popular man locally in the Party, and his past services to Liberalism, as well as the great strength which he had developed practically ensured his receiving the nomination. Then there was Mr. Patullo, an aspiring young lawyer, whose friends realized that there would be a portfolio going for the northern districts, and as it would probably be the portfolio of Lands, it would be almost bound to go to a lawyer. Prince Eupert also was ambitious, and wanted a portfolio. So a bargain was struck; Mr. Naden and his friends agreed to stand back, allow Mr. Patullo to get the nomination, and do their best to secure his election, with the proviso that if he succeeded Mr- Naden was to get the position of Deputy Minister. No further explanation is necessary, and under the circumstances it is little short of contemptible to suggest, as the Minister does, that it was necessary to get rid of Mr. Eenwick, in order to clean up the Department. As a matter of fact, no Member of the Liberal Party, from Mr. Brewster down, ever criticized the work of the staff of the Lands Department. Their criticism was directed solely to the policy of the Department, for whieh no responsibility could possibly be placed on any subordinate. Mr Kenwick was an ideal jcivic servant; he had rendered fourteen years of good and true service. His departmental work bore the strictest scrutiny; he was selected for the position on the advice of the Provincial Auditor, who is undoubtedly the best judge of any man in the Service, and his dismissal, especially on the ridiculous pretext put forward, is equally distasteful to men of both political parties. Hard as the treatment is on Mr. Eenwick personally, it is more serious in its relation to the Service as a whole, because it furnishes conclusive evidence that the new Government is prepared to disregard the personal merit of the members of the Service and to allow political considerations alone to influence their appointments and dismissals. This is certainly a strange comment on an avowed policy of abolishing patronage. The Patriotic Fund THE band of ladies working so energetically under the direction of Miss Mara, deserves better success than they are meeting with. This does not mean that the response to their personal appeal is at all inconsiderable, but it does mean that there are a large number of people who, for some reason or another, refuse to contribute. The Wteek is inclined to believe that this results largely from lack of acquaintance with the work which the Patriotic Fund is doing, and also to some extent to the many unfounded rumours flying about which reflects on its efficiency. Its efforts are by no means confined to the collecting and disbursing of money. Its work lies largely outside of this, and it is assisted by ladies of an Auxiliary Committee, which is comprised of a special committee of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire known as the "Patriotic Service Committee." There are now some 70 lady visitors, who each month pay a visit to the soldiers' families, not only with the object in view of reporting on financial conditions, but in order to keep in touch with the dependents of the soldiers gone to the front, in a friendly way. In cases where the dependents are alone and feeling the loneliness of their situation, they try to overcome this by more frequent visits of a social nature. When advice is asked it is cheerfully given, and if at any time assistance is required in business matters, they are directed to the office. There are always matters to be written about; sometimes there is delay in the separation allowance; if so,- it is at once taken up with the proper authorities. Numerous cases can be mentioned where the Society has proved itself of special benefit. Such is the case where the dependent may have lost some one at the front; a visit ensues, and pension papers are'made out and forwarded to Ottawa, free of expense. Or it may be, that during the soldier's absence his wife dies, leaving the children motherless. In such cases, a suitable guardian is obtained, and arrangements are made for the separation allowance and assigned pay to be transferred, and everything is done that can be thought of to replace the loss of the mother in the bringing up and management of the children. The Ladies' Auxiliary has now been working for two and a half years, and has been rendering splendid service. Naturally, much of the work they have been doing, owing to its personal nature, cannot find its way into the papers. The Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire besides providing this committee, also undertakes to collect subscriptions to the Eund in this Campaign, and this trying work is being carried on cheerfully and willingly by them—the members of the Committee so engaged feeling that they are in some measure supplementing the part of the soldier at the front. The Khaki Club AN influential and representative committee has been appointed in Victoria in the interests of the formation of a Khaki Club. Before it is too late, The Week wishes to draw attention to one or two matters which will have an important bearing upon the success of the enterprise. The title Khaki, while not perhaps designed for that purpose, is distinctly exclusive of the Navy, yet any club which seeks to provide for the comfort and convenience of men who have served in the War should undoubtedly recognize both branches of the service. The Week is sure that it is quite unnecessary to elaborate this point. Now wherever the two branches of the Service have joined in such an enterprise throughout the Empire, they have adopted the title of United Service Club, and there does not seem to be any valid reason why the same course should not be followed in Victoria, while there are a great many reasons in its favour. The only argument The Week has lieard in favour of the "Khaki Club" as a title is that it is desired to make the Victoria Institution one of a chain stretching all across the Dominion, and as several others have already been formed with this title, we should follow suit. Surely this argument cannot be regarded as a strong one. The main point, and indeed the only point that really matters, is to provide the accommodation and to benefit the men, and The Week ventures to think that this would be done far more effectively by combining the two Services, and by selecting a distinctive title which does not suggest the exclusion of either. It must be borne in mind that Victoria and Esquimalt have special associations with the Navy and enjoy many hopes and aspirations, which are not shared by other parts of the Dominion. This would seem to furnish a sufficient reason for considering local conditions in the formation of any Service Club and in the selection of its title. In view of these considerations, and others whieh might be urged, The Week hopes that the Committee will reconsider their policy, both as to the Membership of the Club, and the name by which it should be known. The "Blue" is at least as distinctive and as honourable as the "Khaki." Wherever soldiers and navy men meet, they desire to fraternize, and they should be allowed to do so at least on an equality in every respect. A eiub lor Soldiers' Wives REGULAE readers of our morning paper rubbed their eyes on Thursday morning to make sure that they were awake, when they read a ponderous editorial, urging the formation of a Club for Soldiers' Wives. The only explanation is that at times "Jove nods," because the same paper published early in December a detailed account of the formation of just such an organization for the exact purposes so particularly set forth in Tuesday's editorial. In addition it also published the names of Mrs. E. S. Day as Hon. President, Miss King as Secretary, and four soldiers' wives as an executive committee. In view of these factB, it would be interesting to know who the public-spirited lady is who so adroitly pulled the Editor's leg. She cannot be a reader of The Colonist, or she would have seen the original announcement, nor can she be engaged in patriotic work, or she would have run across some of the numerous activities of the organization already formed. In fact but for our unshaken confidence in the Editor, we should be half inclined to say with Sairey Gamp, "I don't believe there aint no sich person." A detailed account of the constitution and work of this invaluable organization will be found in the columns of the current issue of The Week Editorial Notes Next Tuesday will be epoch-making in the history of Victoria. For the first time, men and women will meet on the same political platform as equal members of the same party. The Conservative Association has arranged to inaugurate the new order of things made possible by the granting of tho franchise to women, by holding a public meeting to welcome the fair sex to the political ranks of the sterner sex and to discuss topics of mutual interest. The occasion will be unique and may be regarded as one of the most conspicuous "signs of the times." The outcome will be watched with intense interest, and in all probability most of the speculation as to the practical outcome of the new departure will be wide of tho mark. 5c a copy $2.00 a year One thing is certain—the newcomers will not be a "rubber stamp" in politics. The Victoria Times says that the Vancouver Province lies when it states that the Provincial Government was criticized at the annual meeting of the Victoria Liberal Association for dispensing with the services of the late Deputy Minister of Lands. Three of the leading Members of the Liberal Party who were present at that meeting confirmed the statement of the Province, whilst admitting that no resolution was submitted on the subject. As a matter of fact members of the Liberal Party known and respected by everyone in Victoria are the most outspoken in their denunciation of the transaction. Many people will have been interested in learning that the first prize for oratory offered by the B. C. University has been handsomely won by a Chinese student. The arbitrators declared that as compared with his Canadian competitors the winner's dissertation was more carefully prepared, couched in better English, and more ably delivered. This fills the bill and gives every point to the Oriental. There is an explanation beyond the fact that the winner was probably an exceptionally clever student. It is that Canadian students will not give themselves the trouble to study English. Dr. Bryce, the eminent educationalist, told the writer years ago that when he established a special class for the study of English in Manitoba University, he could not attract sufficient pupils to keep it going, and those who did join it fell away because they considered it waste of time, and they knew English "anyhow." The Prohibition Party is getting mad, at least the Committee is. Its members are seeing visions and dreaming dreams. With that peculiar mental and moral twist which characterises them, they are unable to attribute their defeat to anything but the crookedness of their opponents. Not satisfied with alleging crookedness all round, they are making the Agent General the special butt of their criticism, and even before the official returns are to hand, they are demanding an investigation, and even the recall of the Agent General. It would be too much to expect men of this type to accept a beating gracefully, but in view of their religious affiliations and pretensions, it would N> more consistent if they had a little more regard for the Ninth Commandment. A cause which demands for its defence a reckless, wholesale impeachment of the personal character of Sir Eiehard Mel i ride must be in a "parlous" state. The Week has persistently inveighed against the wholesale emigration of young Canadians to the United States. A Detroit newspaper recently printed an editorial "welcoming" our Canadian "newcomers." The article mentions that Detroit received from Canada during the past year 17,631 Canadians, mostly virile, independent, educated, aggressive, combative, upstanding young men. The combativeness is not so apparent, the rest may be true. The Week is in receipt of the latest statistics with respect to the emigration of young men from British Columbia to the United States, and it will no doubt come as a shock to many people to learn that the number exceeds 14,000 to date, since the outbreak of War. Comment would be superfluous, except to say that in justice to our country and our soldiers, the Government ought to stop it. The Federal Government has announced not a moment too soon that the system for determining and paying pensions is, speedily to undergo a radical change. Branch offices are to be established throughout the Dominion, the main object being not only to get in touch with the men who have returned, but to ensure the prompt payment of the amounts due to them. Everything takes time, and probably this has been arranged as speedily as it could, but all the same there has been a regrettable delay, and men have suffered because of that delay. It is all a matter of systematizing the work. Undoubtedly the administration of any pension fund is an extremely difficult and complicated matter, but there is no necessity for the delays which have taken place, and under the new system they should not be repeated. It is to be hoped in this connection that the Government will soon see its way to accede to what is undoubtedly a general desire to place the pensions of officers in the same scale as those of the private soldier. There is no reason whatever why there should be any difference. _ The history of the Sunset Film Company is hardly creditable to Victoria. A man who had been convicted of bigamy was allowed for two months to run an office in which he daily received a number of young girls, ostensibly for the purpose of appointing them movie actresses. He and his associates took at least $250 from them for "fees" and his associates at any rate subjected them to personal indignities which landed one man in the penitentiary for five years. The Secretary has "skipped." What The Week would like to know is why the thing was allowed to go on for two months, and why a convicted bigamist was allowed even to start such a business. It would perhaps be superfluous to ask why the Secretary was allowed to escape when the conviction of his colleague should have rendered it impossible. Incidentally it may not be out of place to remind stage-struck ladies that any film company which demands a fee or makes the purchaso of stock a condition of securing employment is a "fake."
