Prevention and Relief.

By the terms OF its federal charter the
Red Cross is charged with the duty OF
trying to prevent we'll as relieve dis
tress caused by disasters In this in
stance the salary and travelling expenses
of Mr.. Jameson are borne by the Red
Cross while the Chinese government pro-
yides for all other expenses. Most of the
great Chinese disasters which have %
frequently shocked the world have been
in the form OF floods. or famines re-
sultng from the destruction of crops by
floods. The terrible famine for the relief
of whose sufferers the world was called
upon TO give last winter was caused in
this way. 1t would seem that here is
one of the most striking opportunities
ever afforded for demonstrating the value
of preventive as compared TO relief
measures.

Attitude of Department.

The position of the Attorney General,
since the decisions Of the Supreme Court
in the oil and tobacco cases. to quote
the language employed by him in his
speech at Battle Creek, Mich: The
area of uncertainty in the law has
been greatly reduced and the mean
ing of the statute in its application to
great monopolistic corporations made
clear. and this makes it necessary for
those combinations to resolve themselves
into number of distinct, separate enti-
ties no one of which shall be in itself a
combination in restraint of trade or
threaten monopoly. How this shall be
done is of course. a separate problem in
each Casa problem which in the first
instance those in control of the combina-
lions and their counsel must work out.
The law department of the government
cannot undertake to act as universal
counsel for the trusts. 1t is preparing to
bring before the court all the c0mblna-
tons which appear to be in clear viola
ton Of the law If the courts agree with
the governments views they will doubt
less follow the precedents set by the Su-
preme Court in the tobacco case and by
the United States circuit court in the
third circuit in the powder case. and de-
cree the combination to be illegal and
give to it a reasonable time to reorsanize
in conformity with the law, under penalty
of injunction or receivership II IT should
fail to do so.

wheat with few offerings. Prices

This was a gain OF about I cents from

opened at 1.1lal.12, against yesterday 5
close of 1.GI3.al.G15s. Prices showed Il
steadily rising tendency and there was

December and liz for May during the
first hour. While supplies of wheat are
large the demand far exceeded the sup
ply, although a large part of the buy
ing was on account of shorts covering.

Needed President Taft.

The Unionist Globe says that while
there were some side factors in the con-
test. the issue was reciprocity. and the
people would have none of it. They
heard the voice Of President Taft de-
claring that reciprocity meant anneXa-
ton. They heard the voice of Sir Will
frid Laurer in indignant denial, but, on
the whole, they decided to believe the
President rather than the premier. They
were right in doing So The struggle is
on between Imperialism and continental
ism, as the German papers pointed out
months ago. and imperialism has won.
The Canadian sees the road to which
reciprocity leads. He has no wish to
move in the orbit of Washington.
