ed that a correct delimitation of the
boundary under the terms of the Rus
sian treaty of 1926 would establish the
line miles outside of the head of tide
water on Lynn Canal. We have always
been prepared to compromise on any
basis which will give us port there.
What we object to is an arrange
ment which would shut us off from

hinterland Short of possessions for
commercial purposes of a port on Lynn
Canal, from which there is already part
communication by rail to the head of
Yukon navigation, Canada cannot be
expected to accede to a REIMBURSEMENT

a reference. to arbitration. Any fair
arbitration will suit us.

United States declines to arbitrate sim

own by right, and she is so confident
of her case that she is ready to go be-
fore any international tribunal. Recip-
rocal concessions are talked of. but
why should Canada pay high price
for what seems to be her own.
whenever the United States has pro-
posed arbitration of any dispute Eng
land has invariably acceded. Why
should the United States to-day hang
back unless they think that their case
is weak? The United States has the
reputation of being hard bargainers.
That is all very well, and we have often
made concessions to them simply be-
cause we did not desire to quarrel over
trif1es, but here the vital interests of
Canada are concerned and it must be
clearly understood that we cannot sac
rifice Canada. We want justice and an
open port or two if not justice"

ton. Great Britain now seems willing
to consider the proposal of the United
States to give Canada the privilege of
port of entry into the Dominion, willis
retaining absolute sovereignty over the
Lynn Canal, and it is around this sort
of proposition that the hope of set
tlement now hovers.
The speeches of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
and Sir Charles Tupper came up incl
dentally, but no serious attention was
given them. The settlement by direct
negotiation will be the easiest as well
as the most satisfactory method of dis
posing of this troublesome question and
such a settlement, from the facts de-
veloped at to-day's Cabinet meeting, is
regarded as by no means out of the
realm of probability.

Christians and to your city and country
as citizens in this emergency. 1t has al
ways been our proudest boast as Ameri-
cans that we have shown the world that
we are capable of government; that
nowhere on earth are law and order so
well respected and obeyed; that here, at
least, true liberty reigns and that every
guaranty is given for the full pursuit of
life, liberty and happiness. But now, alas,
what do we witness? Anarchy reigns.
Riot and rebellion prevail. The civil au-
thoritieS are defied and openly resisted.
The city is terrorized by the mob and the
militia must be called out to preserve or
der. The fair name of our city as law
abiding community is in danger Business
has been paralyzed Visitors fear to en-
ter our portals; our own citizens are in
danger of their lives.
What then is your duty to God, your
duty in conscience to your church and
your country? 1t is to uphold the civil
authority, to obey the laws, to give no
countenance to mob violence, to show no
sympathy for those who. are in rebellion
against law and order. Avoid all crowds.
Let no idle curiosity lead you to mingle
with those who are thus disturbing the
public peace. Remember the words of
to higher power, for there is no power
but from God, and those that are, are
ordained of God Therefore he that re-
sisteth the power ressteth the ordinance
of God, and they that resist purchase

subject of necessary not only for wrath,
but for. conscience sake" (Romans xii.)
Pray, therefore, brethren, that peace may
be restored and dwell permanently in our
midst and that brotherly charity may
once more reign among all. Prayer is
powerful and if offered up for peace and
unity it must be pleasing to God. For
the reverend clergy we hereby direct

~ TTAWA, Ont, July 25.-What is

~ diff1culties-cession to Canada of
a free port on Lynn Canal
would probably prove acceptable to
the Dominion Government.
While the boundary question was
before the joint high commission in
Washington the negotiations narrowed
down to this very proposition, which
was at first accepted by the American
Commissioners, but subsequently they
refused to agree to it, and pourparlers
were not resumed on those lines.

much as possible.

ELECTIONS IN WAR TIME.

IL is view commonly held among
