ing their civil policyholders against war
risks on soldiers. This Brobdngnagian
stride toward state socialism will cover the
military army, but the suppression Of all
attempts to furnish the industrial army
with either life or employment insurance
may safeguard the nation against COM
pleter state socialism.
Meanwhile the men-at-arms are not slow
TO test their rettle in useful service at
home. At East ST. Louis the state militia
helped to make the world safe for democ-
racy" by patrolling during the race riots.
At Bayonne the bayonets Of the state mi
litia brstled inside the fences of the In
ternational Nickel Company's stockade,
ready to suppress the two thousand strik-
ing workmen who might offer violence in
their demands for Is per cent higher
wages. At Boston enlisted men made
short work of socialist-pacifist parade
which flung on its banners the legend,
"The United States Has Ordered 100000
Collins" and after riotous hour the SOL
diers in uniform compelled the paraders
to kneel and kiss the flag for democracy's
sake.
Canada. our nearest ally, initiates US
in our popular CONSUMPTION programme,
though not without hating and difficulty.
It is not so easy TO be democratic in Can
ada. There are not only the French, but
also the Scotch Canadians. The French
speaking Canadians feel that CONSUMPTION
is aimed at them. Men like Henri Bouras-
sa. Armande Lavergne and l.. p. Gauthier
talk treason and hint civil war. But the
opposition to CONSUMPTION cannot be APP
praised in terms of French Quebec alone.
The Hon. Sidney Fisher, former Minister
of Agriculture, falls foul of "those who
say that CONSUMPTION would be defeated in
referendum, and yet who oppose ref
crendum and call themselves democratic
Fisher contends that "a large majority OF
the farmers of Ontario are opposed to con-
scription" by parliament which sits ille-
galy.
Our neighbors are thus seen TO be hav-
ing less easy time with war democracy
and drafts than we are having.
Quebec, however, is much more resigned,
because she has no notion of accepting
CONSUMPTION. Passive resistance" is the
thing. As Jean Baptiste is represented
as saying: Put the French-speaking
Canadian in Jail? Very well; there are
100000 Of him.

Lucius p. Brown, director of foods under
the Department of Health, rescued ten
loaves of bread, five pounds of meat, three
pounds of cake and one pound of cereal,
possibly on a slack day.
Some controyersiaists avow that the
placing of society upon bread tickets and
the distribution of meat rations would al
ford thousands of the poor more and richer
food than their stomachs could stand.
Nothing on the political horizon indicates
that such people need stand in any fear OF
such a fate, though President Wilson Is
determined upon price regulation for
wheat and coal and possibly other commod-
tiles in the large.
The largest reason for the prevailing
high price of meat is the placing of an ini-
tial order for 397,63S,240 pounds of beef
for the army by the Quartermaster Cen
erals office. Other items are 100000
pounds of coffee, 4SO,OOOOOO pounds of
potatoes. 3OO,O0O,OOO pounds of -four and
100000 pounds of butter. The men who
will eat this food are drawn in large part
from food producing industries, nor are
the cantonments likely to yield much from
the planting.

The Slav Peril

KERENSKY, the impassioned figure
IN who leads free Russia to who knows
what goal, is neither ruthless Attila
from the Ural plains nor an embittered
Mirabeau from the schools Of Moscow,
nor yet conquering Napoleon from Kron-
stadt. New world revolutions give birth
to new and composite types Of leaders who
WELD new terrors, if not to the lowly,
then to those in high places.
The "Slav peril" of which the Germans
craftily warned US, has put off the spurs
of autocracy and put on the boots of the
peasantry. and there are those who be-
lieve that with these boots it may be
bent upon the destruction Of existing
forms of government in Europe from
Petrograd to Madrid. Is Socialism, then,
the new "scourge Of Cod?
From London and Copenhagen como
warnings that the Germans are not ripe
for democracy, that the Wilson appeal for
peace through internal German reforms
has been lily received and that German
Socialists have little in common with the
Russian or the American and English
Socialists. When the faithful "Tageblatt'
blatts feebly about the, well, rather too
conservative Chancellor, the sign Of DEM
ocracy is insufficient.
