Hun. Openly he opposes any propa-
ganda which aims to weaken in any
way the cause of the Allies. AL
though he was born in Massachu-
setts, his home influences were very
decidedly French-Canadian, his fore
bears having been born and brought,
up in Quebec, and in Quebec he re-
celved his college training before
going to Rome. "He is all the time
a worker" was the comment of one
of his parishioners concerning him.
And his work counts" the same
person went on. "Recently, in the
third Liberty Loan drive, he discov-
cred that among 1000 families in
his parish $4,000 had been sub
scribed in the three loan campaigns.
OF course, the other priests in the
parish and in all the parishes work.
IN this particular parish the families
who gave are nearly all mill work
ers, and they really had to stint
themselves to do so much to help
the boys who have gone to the
trenches. To be sure, many of their
own boys have gone, for 620 French
Canadians have marched away to
the cantonments thus far from this
city; altogether from this city 2.30O

In Holyoke I met Joseph Lussier,
managing editor of LA Justice" a
newspaper printed in French and
having wide circulation among the
French-Canadians south of the St.
Lawrence, who do not agree with
the Bourassa type Of politics. At
one time in Quebec Mr.. Lussier was
the political opponent for office of
Mr.. Bourassa, designated by many
natives of his own province and
former associates as the "frebrand
of Quebec" and as the man whose
"one-idea-ed obsession has done the
greatest injury to the name of
Quebec" Mr.. Lussier is a Conser-
vative in politics and believer in
the firm controlling hand in matters
relating to public welfare. "No half
measures should be used with the
men or the women who endanger
lives with propaganda of any kind
that antagonizes governmental prin-
ciples,'' is his opinion.

Commercial Union
AS a Safety Valve

Germany herself, despite her close
touch with helpless Russia, is dis
covering that the twenty-four Allies
can strangle her in time of peace
merely by withholding metals and
other products. If that is the posi-
tion of the most powerful isolated
country in the world, how could b.
hemia expect to survive except as a
member of an international family?
In the case of Serbia before the war
it was the custom of Austria Hun
gary to bring pressure to bear by
raising tariffs against Serbian ex-
ports, and especially pigs. A Ser
bian tariff against Austria was no
remedy. But if Serbia had enioved
'mmercial union with the rest of
tne Balkans, to say nothing of the
rest Of the Allies, she would have
been secure of markets which would
have rendered her independent of
her hostile neighbor.

The relief work for the Belgians,
was, as we know, discontinued after

its place in Woonsocket among the
French-Canadian women, as it did

Great Britain
And Free Trade

Some people would like to see a
threefold tariff consisting of pro-
hibitive duties against Germany,
lower duties against Allies and
friendly neutrals, and still lower
duties against our own colonies. 1t
is pretty scheme, but my belief is
that it will not survive parliament
tary discussion. Moreover, labor
will demand that all industries fos-
tered by such protection shall hand
over their profits, so derived, to the
community. Protection with US

continuously, via Jerusalem to Cape

is already abridged. The English
Channel will soon be tunnelled. The
old free traders may have pressed
things too far when they argued
tnat one country would be devoted
almost wholly to agriculture while
another would be almost wholly
manufacturing. We are learn;no
that every country, when fullv de-
veloped, can be Jack-of -alltrades
But we are also finding out that the

Quebec Question
Is Not Brought Here

rades and its public meetings for
patriotic purposes, the flags of the
Allies fly together?" | concluded.
ooh, yes" agreed Mr.. Archam-
bault. "You are thinking of Quebec.
The question in Quebec is not a
question which concerns the loyalty
Of the French-Canadians in the
United States"
'The peasants in Quebec think
as their priests think, politically and
religiously," | had been told by
French-Canadian clergy. "Thc peas
ants do not have time to read the
news of the world in papers or in
magazines. They get up early and
they go to bed early, and they work
all the time between. Besides, some
OF them cannot read. They must
depend upon the priests to do their
reading for them"
"What is your influence in this
country upon the thinking of your
parishioners? Is it of such weight
as it is among the peasants Of Que
bec?" / ventured.
No." was the answer. "Condi-
tions here are different"
In Woonsocket there are five
French Canadian parishes to prove
that in general the French-Cana
dians keep the faith of their fathers,
the Roman Catholic religion. The
priests in these parishes are work
ing with high degree of willing
ness to have their churches make
records above the average for the
Red Cross and for enlistments in
the army and navy. They are not
telling the men in their several
parishes to stay at home to con-
serve the man power Of the coun-
try and along with it the natural
resources, in order that there may
be a sufficient strength among them
after the war has done its worst to
other nations to make within the
United States a French h-Canadian
republic. They are bidding the men
and the women, too, to do their duty
in the need of the hour.

orandum on trade after the
war sweeps the resolutions Of
,he Paris Conference into the limbo
ubere already moulder the secret
treaties published by Lenine and
rrotzky. 1t means that, in this
matter as in some others, the en-
trance of the United States into the
struggle enables US to start afresh.
The valor Of our troops, now SO
fuliv shared at such severe sacrifice
bv the American army, can be rec
ompensed only by settlement Of
world affairs in which the one COM
pcling motive shall be the happiness
and unity of mankind.
What Is Meant
By Commerce
For hundred years since Water
loo Europe has been tortured by the
constant anxiety and frequent ca
lanity of divided condition. If the
world is 10 be split up again into
fragments, each carrying on against
the other a futile and pitiless COM
petition in trade, in ornaments, and
in colonial expansion, the war will
have been fought in vain. Life will
be no more happy and secure than
it was in the early months of 1914.
Indeed, the fever will have spread
from the old world to the new and
from the new world it will inevita-
bly, infect the vast populations of
China and India.
There must be, therefore, solu-
ton of the question, What is meant
b. commerce? Is it mutual destruc-
ton or is it mutual service?
The latter is my belief. The trade
Of every country stimulates the
trade of all the others. 1t is to the
interest of every country, therefore,
to see trade developed among it's
neighbors. For seventy years Great
Britain has acted on this principle.

would thus mean meticulous state
control Of commercial undertakings,
with the workingmen auditing the
books. This being so, / don't think
that the United Kingdom will be re-
sponsible for any obstacles to what
ever international agreement as to
commerce may be proposed by the
United States.
Countries which already have
tariffs must find it difficult to mod
ify them. In our own case it meant
a struggle bordering or revolution.

actual demand for higher duties at
the ports. In Britain we have to
face precisely the same financial
artificiality, but if were asked to
mention the most important single
result Of the war l should refer to
the patriotic acceptance by all
classes of Americans of the income
tax. That changes your entire ap-
proach to world finance. 1t means
that your indirect taxation becomes
of secondary Importance.
Trade Alliance
The Real Victory
Lord Robert Cecil's statement does
not imply that any commercial union
is yet established between the twen-
ty-four democratic belligerents. In
your own case no such treaty would
be possible without the approval of
Congress. A gentleman's agree
ment is all that can be expected at
the moment.
But it is significant fact that we
are to-day talking about ALLEGATION
of food and raw materials, about
public instead of private exploita-
ton of natural resources in unde-
veloped countries, about an interna.
tional debt at low interest, an inter
national marine, an international
postoffice and international confer
ences to manage them all. Such an
alliance will be the real victory over
Germany and whatever powers are
so foolish as to cling to Germany.
Whether Germany comes in or
stays out she will lose her former
predominance as mischief maker in
Chrlstendom. Whether her role be
pariah or partner, she will have
ceased to tyrannize. And her rulers
know this. 1t is the reason why
they dislike the League of Nations.

In addition to economizing food the
