the Associated Press. The rejection OF
the arbitration treaty by the United states
senate has been received with much as
appointment here. and many hard things
are being said about American politicians
The weekly newspapers indulge IN eausuc
comments on the subject,
The Saturday Review says: "it 1t is
has done nothing more, the discussion OF
this unhappy measure has opened the eyes
Of many Englishmen to the bitter feelings
entertained against this country by large
section OF Americans, and constantly
fomented by large section Of the Ameri-
eau press"
The Spectator remarks; The failure OF
the treaty, rightly or wrongly, will be re-
garded as a sign that America does not
want position Of permanent friendliness
with the old country The result ia de-
plorable, but it is no good TO blink at
the fact"
Tho Speaker explains The defeat OF the
treaty by the absence OF It's friends, who
did not care TO accept a treaty which only
stood In the way of a better ono by and by.
and adds: I'VE must wait until public
opinion has acted on the senate, very
uncertain and lengthy process. or until the
republicans find it worth While to capture
the independent electorate"
The Daily Chronicle uses the rejection
OF the treaty as a peg upon which TO hang
rahid denunciation Of the Marquis OF
Salishury's premiership which II says.
represents a record Of failure almost un-
paralleled in the history Of England" add
Ing: England hardly sank SO low in the
evil days Of The Stuarts"
The Chronicle then mentions the Mar
quis Of Salisbury's pro Turkish policy be
Ing used as an arm against the treaty, and
declares that his "fouting OF America in
the Venezuelan trouble was partly the rea-
son FOR the defeat OF the treaty"

OF producing white pine lumber n the

shows that while the average wages in

day ana in Canada Sill. the average
labor cost OF 1000 feet of lumber is 81 cents
in this country and Sl.23 in Canada This
discrepancy is due 10 the fact that the
improved machinery used in this country
