RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS.

In the British elections which closed
last Saturday, the Liberals and Tories
received about the same. number of
votes and neither has any cause to
crow over the other. AS they now
stand, neither party can assume con-
troll of the government without the
aid Of the Irish Nationalists and the
British Laborites. Both Nationalist
and Laborites helped the Liberals in
favor of the budget and in return for
their support they expect the Liberals
to pass measures in which they arc
most interested.
The moment the Liberals show dis
inclination to grapple with the ques-
ton of home rule, the Irish National
lists can throw them out of Office, as
they form the balance of power. The
final returns show the following
strength of each party: Unionists,
274; Liberals, 273; Labor party. Al;
Irish Nationalists, 80, of which S are,
O'Brienites. 1t is thus seen that the
Liberals are at the mercy of the Ma
tionalists whenever the former fails to
carry out the alleged pledge made by
Premier Asquith in his Albert Hall
speech.
The Liberals can govern with the
aid of the Labor members so long az
the Nationalists maintain an attitude
of neutrality; but the sword of Dam
ocles hangs over the head of Asquith
and is ready to decapitate him when
Redmond lets it fall. The Liberals are
trapped and must give home rule ,r
resign. That is the position in which
Parnell desired to see both British
parties. II they will not legislate for
Ireland they cannot legislate for Great
Britain, and there you are.
1t is evident from the election that
the English people are about equally
divided about curbing the house of
lords. Other matters entered into the
campaign, such as free trade and pro-
tective tariff, but home rule for Ire
land was almost eliminated. Some of
the Liberal candidates who were sure
of being elected declared they would
not vote to pass home rule If it meant
a repeal of the legislative union be-

STILL AFRAID OF GERMANY.

A special from Ottawa, Ont, to the
Chicago Record-Herald attributes u
startling utteranee to Sir Edward Grey,
British minister Of foreign affairs. That
functionary is credited with saying:
If war were to come and our navy
were worsted it would spell the ruin
of the British empire. Germany would
not need to land a soldier in England.
Our food comes across the seas. We
could be starved into absolute submis-
sion in a month. No other great power
has to face such a consequence of de-
feat"
What the British statesman is re.
ported to have said is absolutely true.
but why he advettizes England's help
lessness in the event of war with Ger
many is not so apparent. Perhaps he
thinks such a statement will have the
effect of convincing the Canadians OF
the necessity of building a few Dread
noughts at their own expense for the
protection of the mother country. The
Tory party Of England. which is large
ly composed of jingoes, has been de-
handing an increase of the British
navy and soaring the people about a
German invasion, but when Lloyd
George prepared his budget and taxed
the aristocracy for the building OF
the ships, the Tory party kicked Wig
orously and appealed to the country
after they rejected the measure. Tho
country has emphatically spoken by
upholding Lloyd Georges bill in send
ing majority of 1913 in Its favor to
the house of commons. The budget
will again be submitted to the aristo-
Gratis in the upper chamber. and time
will tell whether they pass 1t or not.
They apparently will not have the
audacity of rejecting it the second
time.
Then the British can build navy
big enough to keep Germany from at
lacking it, but who believes for mo-
ment that sensible nation like Ger
many has any intention of meeting
England on land or sea? What could
be Germany's object? That great EN-
pire has the right to build a navy for
future emergencies and laughs at
England for her trepidation. If Eng
land minds her own business without
encroaching on the rights >of others,
she has no cause for alarm from a
war with Germany. The German En-
peror and his warlike subjects will
avoid war with other nations as long
as 1t Is possible to do 30 with honor.
