WIRELESS TELEPHONY.

An interesting series of experiments was car.
red on by the Atlantic battleshp fleet in its tour
of the world with the wireless telephone in order
10 test its usefulness as a means of communica.
ton between boats at sea- The results are said
to have been far from satisfactory; that the wire
less telegraph was much more useful and reliable
and that the wireless telephone in its present state
of development was Of little real service The an
nouncement that the experiments with this latest
means of communication showed little to encour-
age the belief that the new system is practicable
should not however, be in the nature of disap-
pointment for the instruments are yet in very
crude and rudimentary state of development.
The wireless telegraph has proved It's useful
ness to oeean-going vessels; has proved beyond
peradyenture the practicabiity of the apparatus in
times OF the greatest stress and danger few
years ago this means of communication would
also have been found wanting sadly to meet such

THE TARIFF AND POLITICS.

Several years ago the suggestion made by
Senator Beveridge for a commission to take up the
subject of the tariff and investigate the subject
from non-partisan standpoint; to seek a scien-
tifc solution for the problems of revenue for the
national government and to report its findings to
the congress. Since that time there has been
steady progressive movement toward the establish.
ment of such commission, though the movement
has been rdiculed somewhat by newspapers that
have generally been considered liberal and progress
sive in their political discussions.
The idea of taking the tariff question out of
politics is purposey misinterpreted. No one would
suggest the separation of this subject from the
science of government or the regulation of the
nation; the idea is to get at the facts and to treat
the subject in the light of those facts; to take the
question away from petty partisan politicians who
have used the tariff as an issue in political cam
paigns profit the particular party of which they
were the votaries. The tariff question is inherent
ly political, inasmuch it has been the subject
of legislation since the republic was founded. AND
through the mutations of time it has become par
tisan question: which everybody understands thor

who puts his faith in the intelligence of the people

THE COMING SESSION.

The coming Parliamentary session in England
promises to be tame one, and none of those cru
cial questions which caused such agitation in Eng
land during last year to be revived for the pres
ent at least. 1t Is the intention of the Govern
ment, according to those in position to know to
make this session a Budget session. The Chancel-
Tor of the Exchequer finds himself face to face
with a serious deficit created by an excess of. ex
penditures over income, and unless he contents
himself with leaving the nation under an increase
ing weight of debt he must make provision for the
deficit by additional taxation How that is to be
effected remains to be seen. There are many Lib
erals, however, who think that the Government
should deal promptly and theoretically with that
effete institution called the House of Lords. and
give it dose with a touch of ginger in it," as
Winston Churchill puts it,
An appeal to the country should be risked they
say, for the present position of the Liberty Party
will not improve.
Mr.. Spender, noted Liberal journalist and
man well in touch with the inner workings of the
Liberal Party, sums up the situation very neatly
in an article in the Nineteenth Century. He says
the only wise policy for the Government to pur-
sue is to confne their efforts for the present to
financial legislation. and then in time to return
with increased power and prestige to the great con-
tested measures of the last two years. the Licens-
ing Bill and the Educational Bill especially Gath
er, then, he continues the threads of these great
proposals which have been rejected by the House
of Lords and send them up afresh on the eve of
the inevitable general election. Whatever happens
it is evident fact to the man in the street
that the coming session will not be paved with roses
for the Liberal party. There is widespread con-
viction growing up in England today that Lber-
alism is dying and will soon be dead, and that in
its stead viii spring up live, working demo-
cratic party who will do and not say; party
whose motto Will be Safeguard the principles of
civil and religious liberty"

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.


In speech delivered at the Canadian club in
Ottawa recently, Mr.. Ewart, one of Canadas most
astute statesmen, made the suggestion that Canada
give her active support to the Monroe doctrine as
enunciated and upheld by the government of the
United States. At first flush, this seems to be
rather startling suggestion for a Canadian, but
when considered in relation to the history of the
so-called Monroe doctrine it loses much of its APP.
parent boldness. And in that light Mr.. Ewart
simply enunciated what should be and is the logi-
cal attitude of the Canadian government.
The doctrine which bears the name of Presi.
dent Monroe was probably conceived by Adams,
and it not first applied to England, but to
Russia, to put quietus upon her ambition to sub.
due the territory making the states of Oregon
and California, to which ambition Great Britain
was most earnestly opposed, for obvious reasons.
When later the enuncation of the doctrine brought
us into diplomatic controversies with England, the
business of the cause was so apparent that even
Johnny Bull compelled to give assent.
Canada occupies just about the same relation to
the United States with reference to the Monroe
doctrine as do the republics to the SOUTH and the
guarantee of protection, though hardly needed in
the dominion. is there Just the same Canada is
SudrduIeeu security from aggression Dy a foreign
foe, and Great Britain is guaranteed the unds-
turbed possession of the territory to the north
as long as the loyal Canadians want to remain IN.
der the protecting arm of the mother country
which is apparently indefinite.
As long ago as 1928 the principle was enunciated,
and from that time down to the present has been
upheld. In 1925 the United States refused to let
any other power than Spain occupy Cuba and in
1910 the United States pledged itself to defend
Spain in the possession of the island. Circum1
stances might arise in the future which will make
the enunciation of the principle in relation to
Canada as interesting as was the incident to which
we have referred.
Cuba, of course, was entirely unable to defend
herself against the aggression of foreign foe,
while it is doubtful if any power of Europe q
combination of powers would be able to wrest Can
ada from the mother country. even if England, in
the exigences of war, left Canada to shift for
herself The suggestion that the government of
the dominion give assent to the American Monroe
doctrine is the most frankly honest intimation of
a community of interests which we have seen. 1t
is not made in diffidence, either, but with CON
fidence in the power and security of the dominion
and with a knowledge of the business of the doc
trine which has been maintained by the Amer
can government for the past eighty-six years.

the tariff question has been the means of keeping
alive sectional differences and antagonsms. There
was no opportunity to draw the two sections into
conference to discuss the regulation of tariff du-
ties and so the nation was divided against itself,
and ever since the tariff has been a sectional and
partisan question: and all tariff legislation of the
past century has been pretty much sectional and
partisan in its nature
The permanent commission to consider the
question IN all its phases seems be the first at
tempt ever put forth to bring the antagonisic in
terests of the two sections into conference to dis
cuss the duties to be imposed with the idea of
treating both sections and the nation as a whole
in fair and impartial manner. Certainly COM
mission to study the economic interests of the
whole nation, looking at the question from all
Sides and with the interests of the people rather
than the success of political party at heart would
be much more likely to suggest equitable sched-
ule of tariff rates than would or less biased
and partisan committee of the congress. The com
mission idea to deal with public questions seems to
be growing rapidly, and nobody seems to be unal'
terably opposed to it except the politicians who
find comfort in wise discussions of questions which
nobody knows very much about.

would he pligble to take advantage OF the olo-aSe
nansion act. and that the cost to the country would
be something like $3O,OOOOOo year. However
those foures have been exceeded and it is now eS-
tipated that there are some $4,000 persons en-
titled to the pension and the total annual cost 10
the government will exceed S40OOOOO0. There have
already been some 100000 applications, each OF
which is taken up by local board to investigate.
The New York World gives an interesting sum
mary of the applications received and their geo
graphical location England furnished some fO0'
600 applications; Scotland, about l2OOO' and Ire
land 100000 London alone furnished more than
10000 applications. When application Is re-
ceiyed investigated and allowed, the pensloner re-
ceives books of vouchers and collects his pension
from the local postoffce 1t is said that fully ~
per cent of the pensioners far ON the rolls are
women and about so per cent of the women are
widows In the short time that the system has been
in working order. many mistakes have been mace
For instance, it has been discovered that several
men worth thousands of dollars have been pen
stoned and that some in AFFECT poverty nave
had their claims disallowed when under the law,
they were really entitled to the pension. These
things of course are inevitable. and 1t will take
time and much work to get them worked out sat
isfactorily.
The pension is easily criticised, whether 1t
be an annuity after certain age or whether 1t be
for services performed. In the United States, the
war pension last year amounted to more than $780,
100000 and since the close of the war, the amount
exceeds three and half billions of dollars. Here.
too the pension has been made political asset OF
ambitious statesmen as no doubt it will later de-
velop in Great Britain with its modest old-age gra-
tuity The objection to the pension most frequent
y urged is that it dscourages thrift but to an am
bilious American, with opportunities on every hand
to secure a competence for old age. the prospects
of drawing down from a two-bit piece a dollar
and quarter a week holds alluring prospects,
and would hardly lead to wastes his early life
in the hope of having the state for him thus
generously in old age.
The greatest objection is that the oldage pen
sion as inaugurated in Great Britain is sociastic
it puts the state in the position of an ungenerOus
employer who holds out prospect for easy old
age-provided the worker gives him enough to
make it worth while The certainty that the state
will care for the poor is commendable but the
would do this and has done it in one way or an
other from earliest times without a special and
complex system wherein the prospects of political
corruption aluring.
