From TtntLv 24A. Dec. 1917

Of an extraordinary debate which took
place at the November meeting Of the Lp-
g~islaIive Council ofTrinida9. That no hlnt
of the matter discussed on this occasion
should have reached the English pubic
although The facts have been brought to the
notice uf'lie Home Govrnmpnt-lN in itself
Il singular circumstance, anu helps to show
how little one part of the Empire knows Of
what is going on in another. For The credit
of all parts of the Empire it seems desirable
that alietle more light should BE- thrown upon
the Island of Trinidad without loss of time.
The debate to " hich | refer w%as0pened by
Mr.. Marryat, on a motion expressing regret
that the Secretary ofState for the Colonies
should have permitted the Senior PuiSne
Judge. whose Incorporate habits had been
brought to the notice of his Lordship, to
have returned to the Island and.to have re-
sumpd his duties" The sSeni0r PuiSne
Judge" who is the subject of this crafty
ing ,notice, is Mr.. Justice Cook, and against
this learned Judge Mr.. Marryat proceeded
TO make u series Of charges of such an as
tonishing character that. but for tie fact
that they were made in the Legislature
OF the Island, and in the presence of an un-
precedented gathering of the general public
and that they passed without rebuke, or
even challenge, they would be absolutely
incredible. On the truth of these charges
| am III no position to express an opinion.
That they are denied by Mr.. Justice Cook
must b. assumed from the vepv terms of

Sir: Your letter Of the oath inst has been
received, stating that a urge contribution
Of -four and breadstuffs has been contributed
bv the people of the Northwest for the relief
Of the suffering population Of Russia, in those
districts where the crops have failed, and
suggesting that contributions be forwarded in
a naval vessel Of the United States.
In reply it gives me pleasure to say that
the Navy Department ooncurs heartily in this
proposal and will willingly do all in its
power to further 50 generous and suitable a
project
The friendly relations between the United
States and Russia date back to the beginning
of our national existence. Upon more than
one occasion when this country has been Wis
tied by misfortune or has found itself labour-
ing under the stress Of foreign or domestic
conflict. the Government Of Russia, moved
by a spirit of friendship far beyond that inn
piied by the ordinary relations Of peaceful
intercourse between nations, has given the
strongest proof of sincere attachment and
regard for this country, Especially at those
critical moments when friends have been
most needed, and have been most difficult TO
ind, the courageous and outspoken sympathy
of Russia has had a powerful influence on the
/. views and conduct Of other European States.
1t is a duty no less than a pleasure to every
patriotic American to do all that lies in his
