these cases as in all others. the con-
sumner ultimately pays the bill either
IN increased prices or inferior goods.
The charge is very serious one
which the union will of course DENY
as slrenuously as they can. and
which the manufactures will do their
best to substantiate. But il is A
foolish and short. sighted practice
which 1t is to be hoped will never
gain a real foothold in this country.
We were fast gaining commercial
asoendency in the world when this
laborer blight struck us.
There is great deal of talk in
Department circles over the treaty
between Great Britain and Japan
which has just been officially pub.
lished. The treaty is regarded fa-
vorably on the whole in diplomatic
circles. 1t is classed as very
strong guarantee in diplomatic cir
eles. 1t is classed as a very strong
guarantee for peace in the far east,
because no power would be likely
to attack either Japan or Great
Britain, knowing that each nation
was pledged to come to the others
assistance. 1t is spoken Of as
great victory also for the open door
policy as assuring the maintainance
OF the status quo IN the far east.
This, however, may be taken with
as large an allowance as suits the
taker. Everyone kRows that
Japan has nothing to fear from the
open door, being geographically and
naturally the most, and in fact, only
favored nation in that regard 1t is
quite likely that Great Britain,
whose trade in China is already on
the decline, may find in her ally
more powerful rival in the CONNER
cial orient than either Germany or
the United States.
The question of old age pension
in the civil service has again come
to the front. There has been formed
an organization in the government
departments to plead for legislation
in that line, and the initial meeting
has just been held, at which the
principal address was made by w.
f.. Andrews, Auditor of the Treas.
ury He urged that the clerks
should combine to form common
pension fund, and said that with
the rapid increase Of the government
service the question Of superanuation
pensions would force itself on the
people in few years. He gave fig
ures to show that this was true, and
urged a compulsory retirement age
as in the army.
