Jeff, member of the parliamentary COM

that nothing less than a monopoly for
Russian cereals on the British market
can satisfy Russia, excluding Canada
and the Argentine. The allies as WE'LL"
he says, should agree not to import
wood except from Russia in place of
bringing it from Sweden and Norway"
But Canada, being British colony,
would probably protest against this
action. What" asks NJ. Hoschiller.
"if Russia, in place of adhering to the
economic bloc, should enter into con-
flict with England"
This example should suffice. For all

from Russia or France, sugar or wine.

Besides. if the proposed regime offers
facilities to the dominions DESTROYS of
selling off their raw material on the
markets of the mother country, it pre-
sents, on the other hand, the moment
the principle of reciprocity is admit
ted, disadvantages that destroy all its
advantages.
NJ. Hoschiller expresses the idea that
he would have wished to know how Mr..
Hughes, great Australian propagahGist

how the British colonies could, without
compromising their prosperity, main

States, for example. relations according

The fact that complaint has been sent to the secre taly of the interior by an engineer regarding the waste of timber makes one believe that several such complaints have been sent These complaints do very little good They bound to be made in all public government work There not an official of any government who is not con- p.aned of from time time and many times We may be sure that Secretary Lane has direct means of keep ing in och with the progress of the railroad work than by listening to voluntary communications. Whether we
 think the railroad being properly constructed or not we should remember that individual knocks are waste of time There probably not moment when the people acting collectively could not have the whole work nveSti gated they wanted but the kicking of man at time positions that they would kick anyhow if the rail road were being built by the engineers that laid out Para disc The knowledge that such chronic complanerS exist is one of the chief causes why kicks not needed even when they are justified.

PREPARE SUIT AIMED TO STOP
AUTOMATIC PHONE SALE
81 expect to fight the automatic
phone ordinance up through all the
courts and into the United States sU-
preme court, if necessary. You can
make it as strong as you like. Say
this ordinance works a fraud on the
people of Chicago, by which they will
be defraUded of millions of dollars
worth of property rights, if the terms

This was the statement of Attorney
Charles P. Schwartz today as he
stopped for a few minutes between
debating new documents involved in
the action before Judge Windes.
The action aims at getting tenn
porary injunction restraining the
mayor and city officials of Chicago
from selling the city's rights in au-
tomato phone system. According to
the terms of the ordinance passed
Saturday the city drops all its rights
and claims in the automatic phone
property and sanctions the sale of it
for 1,532,05 The actual value is
at least $6,3OO,OOO, states the bill
filed in circuit court by Schwartz,
acting for John Fitzpatrick, taxpayer
and president of the Public Owner
ship league.
Mayor Thompson said today he will
discuss the ordinance with Walter
Fisher, special counsel for the mayor.
He may or may not sign it. His veto
would stop it from going into effect.
Predictions are that he will neither
sign nor veto.
The ordinance is taken in political
circles as marking a new lineup. It's
the first time in Chicago that the
Daily News has been the hacker and
advocate of an ordinance attacked as
a steal by aldermen with high ratings
from the Municipal Voters league.
