A GOOD CANADIAN EXAMPLE

1t appears that the government of Can
ada has done precisely what the American
newspaper publishers desire their govern
ment to do: i. e.. strike blow at the
paper combine. The course of the gov
eminent in striking this blow was direct
~ in line with the policy advocated by the
Wisconsin publishers at their convention
in Milwaukee on Thursday.
1t will probably be news to American
readers, but The Canadian tariff act of
1897 had an "anti-combines'' provision
which squares with the ideas of those
Americans who hold that the tariff should
be removed from or reduced on every
trust-made article. In a recent report
Consul-General Turner at Ottawa calls
attention to this clause. which provides
that whenever the governor in council
fnds that the manufacturers of any ar
ticle have formed trust or an agreement
to enhance prices unduly, 1.-THE govern
ment may obtain evidence and place such
an article On the free list, or so reduce
the duty on it as to give The public the
benefit Of reasonable competition
Now as to the operation Of this law. A
year ago the Canadian Press Association
represented to the government that the
price Of printing paner was very much
higher in Canada than In the United
States, and offered to prove this advance
was due ITO "a combination among the Ca

The Review of Reviews falls into the
error Of assuming that the Oregon dis
pute between Great Britain and the
United States in the early forties, when
the popular cry in America was Fifty
four, forty or fight" involved British
Columbia and Manitoba" and, of course,
the intervening regions of Assiniboia and
Alberta, or such parts of them as lie
south of $40. AS matter of fact, the
dispute related entirely to the boundary
line west from the Rocky Mountains By
the convention of 1918 the forty-ninth
parallel was fixed upon as the information
al boundary from the Lake Of the Woods
jog west to the "Stony Mountains That
parallel was fixed by the treaty of Paris
Of 1888 as the boundary between the
American and British portions Of what
had formerly been British territory. The
convention of 1918 definitely fixed it as the
northern boundary of the Louisiana pur-
chase also, as far as the Rocky Mountains.
The American claim did include British
Columbia as far north as $40, but it
never included Manitoba, SAssiniboia or Al
berta. If the Americans of the forties
had made good their bluff Canada would
have been shut out from the Pacific coast,

CANADA AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE

In the March Review Of Reviews, DR..
Albert Shaw points to the dangerous con-
sequences of Canada's voluntary action
in taking part in the Boer war. He says:
Canada's participation in the South African
war-a matter which was no concern of hers,
directly or indirectly-is the most fragrant
violation of the essence of the Monroe doc
trine that has ever been committed because
it makes a precedent under which Canada
will be deemed by Europe party to all of
England's quarrels, and therefore legitimate
fighting ground.
The Monroe doctrine applies, in a
measure, to Canada as we'll as to the
independent nations Of the western hem
isphere, though Canada's unfortunate
political attachment to an old world
power has kept it from participating in
Pan American conferences and has pre-
vented 1t from thinking of itself as being
in any degree under the shield of that
doctrine. The United States would view
with the utmost disapproval any attack
made upon Canada by an enemy of Eng
land, yet how difficult it would be con
sistently to. oppose a course that the
Canadians and the British have invited
through the participation Of Canada in a
struggle which was in no sense hers. The
precedent having been created. we may
expect to see large Canadian contingents
raised to assist England in the event of
war between the dual alliance and the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. Canada will
then seem to the dual alliance legitimate
fighting ground. And suppose the VIC
tory should be with it, would not
France be justified in demanding the ces-
sion Of French Canada to herself as war
indemnity? At this point, of course,
Uncle Sam would arise and take in all of
Canada with the cordial approval of most
Of it's people. And then we would be
drawn into a war with the victorious
allies.
Reflections Of this sort show how short
sighted was the Canadian policy Of offer,
ing to help powerful England in a war
with the poor little Boer republics. Had
Canada kept out Of that fight the United
States could consistently insist that in
any future war England's enemies should
leave her alone. But If, now, we insist
we are likely to be drawn into the fight
ourselves. 1t seemed all very fine to. fight
for the empire, but it won't seem so fine
if the day should come when the Russian
eagle will float at Victoria and Vancouver
and the trico1ors at Quebec.

Questions Answered

George c. Webb, Minneapolis Can you tell
me when the very first typewriter was made,
it's name and the name Of inventor ?-Henry
Hill, an English engineer, was the first to
attempt to make writing machine. He was
granted patent in 1714, but his machine
never perfected and no description of it ex-
lists. The first typewriter invented in the
United States was termed the ssTypographeT'
and was patented by William Austin Burt
OF Detroit inventor of the solar compass,
IN 1929. 1t was very crude device, but die
actually, though slowly, write with type.
Between this date and the appearance of the
first practically successful machine there were
many crude attempts in England, France ana
America. The first practical writing
chine was the invention of three residents Of
Milwaukee,. Latham Sholes an editor and
printer; Samuel w. Soule, printer, farmer
and inventor; and Carlos Gliddeu, a gentle
man of leisure. The first model was COM
pleted in September, 1867. 1t was largely the
work of Soule, who suggested the pvoted
types, set in circle; Sholes contributed the
letter spacing device One of the letters writ
eth on his model sent to James Dens-
more of Meadville, Pa, who Immediately pur-
chased interest in the invention by pay
ing for all the expense already incurred The
patent was granted in June, 1868 SOule and
Glidden dropped out, leaving the enterprise
to Sholes and Densmore. After some years
with E. Remington Sons, Ilion, N. y, tc
manufacture the machine, and it has ever
since been known as the Remington.

THE TRUSTS LESSON


But, just as the development of the trust
in the world Of private business has demon
strated how collective ownership may be made
superior to individual enterprise, so, possibly,
will the costly experiences which trusts must
yet pass through teach not only them, but
1.-The masses also, some needed lessons of
economy in the conduct of great business
enterprises that rest upon a basis of social
organization. Then may the ownership of
great properties be transferred to the public
to be managed for the common good by the
ablest business talent, under the wisest legal
advice. Methods will have been demon
strated, economics will have been learned.
the era of trusts will be remembered as
one Of great ventures, great wrongs, great
trumphs and great hardships, but perhaps
chiefly because, after all, it was essentially
of experimental education; an era in
which mankind, in a costly and bundering,
but thoroughgoing way, was learning how
the resources of the world could be colec
lively owned and publicly controlled in the
interest of all, and at the same time be man
aged by supreme individual ability.

REDUCING LABOR HOURS

The present stage of the discussion of
the question of reducing the working
hours OF labor is not Immediately ,sug-
gestive of any general application of the
principle in the near future. The APP
Dlication is sporadic In this country,
and there is no evidence Of any industrial
cooperative action to promote the change.
The twentieth century may bring it about.
The term labor is too often applied
only to the industrial workers, which is a
false discrimination, for all work day
people, whether they work with their
hands or their minds are laborers, and if
hours Of labor are shortened, all laborers
should be partakers of the accruing ben
etits, and employers. will have to adjust
their respective businesses to meet the
change. If it comes, the question whether
it will be a great advantage to the bene-
ficiaries will be answered according to the
individual use of the larger freedom.
DR.. Alex F. Chamberlain says, in pa
per in the current number of the Popular
Science Monthly, that two hours of manual
labor by each worker and two hours of
intellectual labor each day, will suffice to
supply all the needs of the civilized world
Under right conditions and with the eco
nomic distribution of the product The
latter condition of this shorter labor day
is wisely stated. To produce such condi-
ton demands closer cooperation among
employers and employed than now exists
The French socialists, in the early portion
of the nineteenth century, came to the
front under Saint Simon and Fourier with
a program for the reorganization of hui
man society through the phalanastery
system. which included the reduction of
the hours of labor to about three hours,
and Fourier's idea was to make labor so
enjoyable that it would be no hardship
Labor was to be regarded as pleasure BILE
for it's own sake. Louis Blanc, in his
proposed organization Of labor through So
cial work shops, advanced the same idea
of Limitation of labor hours. The later
schemes of iaealists embody it, the late
sEa1rd Bellamy presenting it in form
s.1lSch has enchanted a vast number of
readers. These schemes are impractica-
