GRAFT IN CANADA

That graft in municipal and ma.
tional affairs is not indigenous to this
country and that corruption in poll
tics Is not an isolated practice in the
United States is shown by the
startling report of the royal investi-
eating commission Of Canada, which
has just announced the conclusions OF
its inquiry into the scandal connected
with the construction Of he new
parliament buildings Of the Province
of Manitoba, al Winnipeg. OF course
these revelations are not in any man
ner comforting TO us for our own
shortcomings. but IL may be that
when we see the shame OF others we
snail be more determined to wipe out
these evil influences and corrupt
practices.
The Canadian Commission finds
that enormous overpayments were
made 10 the contractors who erected
the parliament buildings. and that
these overpayments were designed to
provide a campaign fund for the re-
cent Robin government Of which the
members OF that government had a
guilty knowledge. As usual the in
