MENNONITES FIGHT

REGINA, Sask, oct pa little

Colony Mennonites in central Saskatche-
won presides ddly over a school without
pupils.
The school opened September l.
Teacher was there on time. She took
her seat at her desk. surveyed with
pleasure tho shiny new desks and the
freshly painted blackboard, and waited
for pupils. None came. Every day
since then she has sat out the appointed
hours in school with empty benches
\ school in n neighboring Mennonite
district has only six pupils.
The Mennoni.es, German religious
sect, have from the first fought the
Canadian compulsory school law. They
have insisted on sending their children
10 their own parochial schools where the
German language is tauSht and the Ger
man Bible Is the principal textbook,
Government authorities now propose
vigorous action TO enforce the law
among the Mennonites. A number who
refused 10 send their children 10 td'
public schools have been arrested anc
fined.
Meantime the Mennonites are in Z
quandary. Because OF the law they
threatened some time ago TO withdraw
their colonies from Canada JohT
Fenrichs, who was sent to Argentine

there, has just returned ana reported
that all desirable land there not ye

Montrears View OF the Loan.

special Correspondence to the Canadian
Section Of THE SIN.
MONTREAL. Oct 20.-Hard work has
begun on the campaign for the 1919
victory Loan, which will close its sub
scription lists ON November Is. Its sue
cess will be almost wholly a matter of
the energy displayed by the selling or
ganization, for the factors which brought
about certain amount of natural or
voluntary demand for the previous loans
are now totally lacking.
The country is no longer strung up to
a high pitch of self-sacrifce for its war
operations The very rich have no
longer the inducement OF exemption from
normal and super income taxation to
drive their funds into this form of in
vestment: in fact at the present dispar-
ity between the 1919 taxable Offering
and the market price of the long term
tax exempt issues, a man with an in
come exceeding $4,000 would probably
lose money by buying the new loan In
stead of the old one. The money is
needed by the Government, not for the
exhilarating process OF smashing the
Germans, but for the prosaic business
or getting the soldiers demobilized and
extending credits to the country's export
trade. And worst of all, the minds of
investors are no longer wholly coucen-
trated on high grade bonds. as they
were during the war but are occupied
by the prospects Of immense speculative
profits in industrial stocks. as shown By
the rises that have already occurred in
several groups OF securities of this kind.
But the Canadian bond seller is moth
ing IL not re ,lurceful. The harder the
fight the bett4i the work he puts into 1t.
The men at IT, mead OF the various
local organizations have now had a
chance to try the mettle of their workers.
and they are confident that the campaign
will put over" not merely the SOC. OOO.-

Dread of a French Alliance.

1t is in the light of these events and
circumstances. as 1 have summarized
them from Prof Usher's article. that
the words of the farewell address must
be read II was not the fear of an Eng
lish alliance that led to the counsels of
Washington against permanent alliances.
It was the dread OF the French alliance
which his enemies were anxious TO pro-
mote. The real meaning Is as clearly
revealed between the lines az II II had
been definitely expressed 1t was. more
over. a counsel not only implicitly but
definitely restricted to the period of ma
tional infancy. The term of twenty
years was explicitly mentioned by Wash
ington-not in the farewell address. but
in the correspondence with Hamilton
and Madison which preceded it--as the
time required for the republic to be-
come sufficient and able to hold its
own among the nations of the world
Had Washington been living in our
day can any one doubt where he would
be found or what counsel he would be
giving?
When he assumed command of the
armies of the thirteen colonies he has
told us that his soul "abhorred the idea
of independence" How gladly would
he at that moment have embraced a
proposal 20 ground arms and disband
his i'll furnished armies on the condi-
ton that the colonists should be ac-
corded tho ordinary rights OF British
freemen! And II his great and noble
spirit, the greatest of all great Eng
lishmen--so Freeman pronounces, unless
my memory plays me false, with the
possible exception of Alfred the Great
were now able to determine the policy
OF the republic which owes ITS very
existence TO his statesmanship and his
generalshp, who can doubt that his
counsel would be to seize at once with
avidity and fervor the opportunity now
offered by a beneficent Providence to
heal forever the wounds inflicted in the
sad and terrible days that tried mems
souls in the century before the last and
to consummate an alliance which prom

"Finish the War" is Slogan.

1t is quite clear that thousands of peo-
pie who have bought Victory bonds will
be ready TO buy from bond houses after
1918, while the willingness OF corpora
tons to Invest is already demonstrated
weeks before the canvass for this year
begins. In fact, ]. II. Gundy, for the
special Subscriptions Committee told
the Toronto workers the other night Of
DEFINITE promises from corporations on
ooth sides of the line amounting to al
most Soc, 100000 already. This. with the
slogan of Dominion Chairman z. r.
WOOD, The important thing is to finish
the war you<cannot do that unless YOU
make success of this loan" seems to
indicate sound conditions on which to
begin the campaign.
Here enters the place of the United
states in this loan. II has been ex
pected that subscriptions from your side
would be large enough to affect the ex-
change situation. 1t is known that cor
respondence between Washington and

the West Indies, which were under the
British flag, in order to secure the sugar

ish manufactures without which 1t was
at that time helpless. Even at the time
when Prof. Usher's article appeared the
United States was realizing how us
prosperity was threatened by the block
ade of its shipping tied up in the home
harbors. What must have been the
condition of absolute dependence upon
Europe in the early days of the ~
public?
1t was clear to Washington and Ham
lton that good relations with England
were the absolute condition OF any pos
| sible degree of national prosperity, and
| it was as clearly realized that Britain
need not go to war IL it desired to ruin
| the United States. All 1t need do was
to exclude their commerce from the re-
naming British colonies. 1t did not
desire their ruin, but there was a Bit
| terness of feeling on both sides that was
a serious menace to American stability
and prosperity.
| The republic had repudiated debts.
| both public and private in the days of
! the loose federation just after the close
/ OF the war. and there was no certainty
| that the new government would do any
| better But Washington cav that peace
with ENGLAND must be preserved at any
price and relations between the two
countries made as friendly and cordial
as they could be under the adverse cir
cumstances of tho case Should the
| British sea power be definitely and per-
manently antagonized even the existing
minimum of privileges would be de-
stroyed, there would be a commercial
and financial collapse, the new Consti-
tuition would be wrecked, the anti-na-
tionalists would reign supreme and Ham
ilton's plans for funding the debt and
establishing credit abroad would be
ruined.
And yet there was a great party that
favored this antagonism to Britain and
was ready to fall into the arms OF
France. whiol was at war with Great
Britain, and with a majority OF the
small states The emissaries OF France
we're bringing persistent pressure 20 bear
on the republic TO take sides with the
enemy of Great Britain. There had been
2 defensive alliance already, and there
were popular demonstrations to promote
q. still closer alliance. Efforts had been
made to force Washngton's hand and
bring the United States into collision
with England. Washington knew that
this would be national suicide. He issued
4 proclamation OF neutrality and
pnubbed Genet. the presumptuous
F'renchman who had sought to take
charge OF the American republic. Finally
he sent Jay to England to arrange
more satisfactory basis. "a step for

Dinner.
Special Correspondence Of the Canddian
Section of THE SUN


TORONTO, Oct. 2o.--As the date for the
opening of the Victory Loan campaign
approaches more information is available
as to the extent and purposes Of the en-
terprise. There has been some com
plant because Of The indefinite descrip-
tons Of the objective, but Mt dinner Of
the Toronto Honorary Committee a few
days ago, one of the officers spoke of the
necessity of raising from $500, 00O, 900
to $500. 900, 900"
1t is quite apparent that this is elastic
enough, and doubtless the Minister of
Finance, Sir Henry Drayton, will be
more specific later on. Early statements
spoke of $500, 100000 as the objective,
but it Is known that the Government has
already borrowed nearly that much from
the banks. which must be repaid, and
the necessary amount raised to carry Oh
until March 81. the end OF the fiscal
year.
There is still some doubt as to future
loans. Ten days ago Sir Thomas white.
former Minister of Finance, told the Sol
diers' Reestablishment Committee at OF
tawa that another loan would be neces-
sary next year. This was when he was
showing the financial impossibility of
meeting the demand of some of the vet
Grams for $4,000 gratuity all round
Sir Henry Drayton, speaking in Toronto
on Thursday. laid emphasis on the fact
that the coming campo ign is for the last
war loan. II is not thought in local
financial circles that the Government
can avoid rather heavy borrowing next
year Sir Henry Drayton probably
meant that this would be the last loan to
be raised by public campaign. Next
years borrowings might be secured
through existing bond houses and other
machinery without going through the
turmoil of n campaign and countrywide
organization
