tigate the situation in the west in view OF
the alarming statement sent out from Cal
gary. It seems undoubted that some men
have left work but nothing exists which
can be described as a strike.
The cause Of the trouble, so far as is
known here. seems TO be a misunderstand-
ing.
The new act requires thirty days notice
to be posted OF any change in conditions.

did not understand that this was in accord
ance with the provisions OF the act and

tions. The situation throughout the west

another by Commissioner Ba ] niger Of the

tion Of the land to the public domain has

to his notice that heretofore when lands
have been restored to the public domain in
terested parties have been tipped" by

order is issued and persons have located
on the more desirable portions OF the re-
stored lands, thus obtaining an advantage
over others whose first information is not

ton sale Of isolated tracts" Of land

plicant now has pending thirty-three ap-
plications to purchase different isolated
tracts" The order cancels all sui pend
, ing applications and makes a further re-
quirement that all applications hereafter
20 have such tracts sold at auction must

LONDON, April 1s-F1eld Marshal Lord
Roberts presided at banquet given to-
night by the Pilgrims society in honor
Of the various colonial prime ministers
who are at present In London to take part
in the Colonial conference.
At the table with Lord Roberts sat
whitelsw Reid. ambassador Of the United
States; Sir Edward Grey the foreign sec
retary; Lord strathcona. the Canadian high
commissioner; Alfred Deakin, premier OF
Australia, and the duke OF Devonshire.
The government was represented by
majority of the members Of the CABINET
and in addition to many OF the most
prominent men at the bar, in the church
and in the commercial world, sat down
at the tables. Canada alone among the
colonies was without a spokesman.
The speakers we're Sir Edward Grey,
Alfred Dealkin, Sir Joseph Ward. premier
OF New Zealand; Alfred Littleton, T. ".
smartt commissioner Of public works for
Cape Colony, who spoke for DR.. Jameson,
who is III; the duke Of Devonshire and
Lord Roberts
Sir Edward Grey referred 20 the mistake
Great Britain had made in her colonial
policy in a former country and he was
sure this would not be repeated. Lord
Roberts and Mr.. smartt spoke OF the re-
union of the Anglo-Saxon nation and re-
minded their hearers that Americans were
taking part in the celebration Of the even
ing.
Independence for Colonies.
Alfred Deakin dealt with international
problems with straightforward words that
undoubtedly will make the careful British
diplomat shudder.
He said It was fact that the colonial
office was farther from the colonies than
the colonies from the colonial office, and
emphasized the claim that the colonies
should be independent nations. He said
It was refreshing" to come to London
and talk with the government face to face.
He promised that Australia next year
would inaugurate a system whereby 1t
could defend itself in the event of war
without assistance from the mother coun-
! try. He emphasized the fact that the
! problems of Australia were not the prob
lens of England, saying the mother coun-
} try had no Asiatic population as menacing
rivals.
! Then. referring obviously to the Ger
/ man occupation Of the New Hebrides, the
| premier said he wished It to be noted that
! England had not allowed a rival European
nation to secure a foothold close to Aus
! tralia without consulting Australia. While
the British navy had not been called on
4 in a test OF sea supremacy during the last
/ century, the speaker said this would hap
pen in the NEXT hundred years. Without
/ mentioning nations by name, he said
1 pointsdly that there would be war for the
supremacy OF the Pacific with Germany
and Japan.
