Whv We Are Loved

Boy-Ed is reported inquirng as to
whether it is possible for him to return
to this country. And now comes Berns-
torff, urging his countrymen to make
friends with the United States. Won
Papen has not been heard from, nor
Dumba, nor the author of "spurlos
versenkt," but perhaps they will be in
due time.
Such approaches are calculated to
make America suspicious of herself.
What have we done to be chosen as de-
serving of special German regard? Berns-
torff reveals one reason. 1t is that if
Germany but plays her game skilfully
she may secure through US a revision of
the peace treaty. Germany is poor, but
he hopes to keep enough out of her pay
ments on account of arson and chopped
down orchards to launch another
massive propaganda.
The old propaganda paid no dividends.
The more funds spent on the propa-
ganda work the weaker Germany be-
came in this country, as Bernstorff and
Dernburg will doubtless recall. But it is
German quality to be persistent and
to make no change in methods. Already
the tone of certain publications in this
country shows that hope is with them of
melon-cutting in future not distant.

A Valuable By-Product

i. Those fearful lest America be made
unsafe for democracy have been heart
cned by the following words in the Presi-
dents speech to the Senate, words in
some respects the most important then
uttered:
my services and all the information |
possess will be at your disposal and at the
disposal of your Committee on Foreign Re-
latons at any time, either informally or in
session. as you may prefer, and hope YOU
will not hesitate to make use of them"
The Constitution makers carefully
limited the executive departments
powers touching foreign relations by
providing, first, that only Congress-
could declare war, and second, by pro-
viding that no treaty could be made
without the advice and consent of the
Senate
The first limitation has become prac-
tically barren, because a President. as

ming of the Mexican War and bv Presi-
dent Wilson in the Vera Cruz LANDING.

this respect, but other Presidents have

contents did not concern the Senate until
the formal document was handed to it.
What this means President Wilson him

one OF his lectures as "usurpation." He
recognized that substances count rather

theories, and saw that If the Senate

representative Chinese viewpoint. He says,
in part in Chinese, that it is not for us to
apporton the blame on either France or
England, having agreement with Japan for
the disposal of Shantung. The Chinese peo-
pie, however, cannot be expected to take
the gross injustice sitting down or uncom-
plainingly.
1t is felt that we bullied and brow
beaten by "frendly" neighbor, which Ger
tainly is misfortune and, what is worse,
we are deserted by friends and comrades in

we are victim of intdeity Fettered by

pacts, England, France and Japan may have
possible grounds for their claims, but it is
not unknown to us that these nations are
mutually interdependent on one another.

ever, the position is entirely different

British Coal Prices

The British government, which has
been described as about goriously to
achieve naturalization of coal mines,
gives notice that on Wednesday the
price of coal will be advanced $1.25
ton above the war levels. Alarmed coal
dealers announce they must pass the cost
on to buyers and consumers, and there is
general CONSERVATION.
Figures submitted to the House of Com
mons show that the cost of the British
railroad administration is $3OO,OOOOOO
year more than receipts, the bread
subsidy is another $3O0,00O,O00 and the
deficit on coal is another $233,0OO,OOO.
1t is bluntly said that this sort of thing
must stop, and it is proposed to redress
the balance on coal first.
The leaders of the miners, who have
been getting ready to demand more, have
an easy explanation. The government is
meanly trying to discredit naturalization.
How many miners accept this is not
stated, but probably not many, although
it is the business of their leaders to
pretend they do. A man with brains
to mine coal has brains enough to know
the costs cannot be progressively in.
creased without corresponding lifting
of prices
Golden, Bright and Gladstone held
that the easiest way to increase real
wages is to lower the cost of the neces-
sites of life. But they We're old fogies.
1t is fashionable now in Great Britain
to agitate for higher nominal wages,
and then to complain loudly if the money
received buys less. The idea prevails,
and will doubtless continue to prevail
until jolted to death by impact with
hard facts, that it is possib BILE to sell your
own product for more and not pay an
other fellow more for his product.
How long Great Britain and other
countries will whirl around in this circle
no one may predict. When the move
ment stops, a real beginning will be made
toward reconstruction--tl that is, toward
the readjustment and stabiization which
are the heart of reconstruction.

What Is a Rlimp?

While the problem still is in LIQUID
condition we wish to offer our contribu-
ton to the surmises of wise men and
satirists. Frankly, the problem seems
to US absurdly simple. All that is lack
ing is the clew. Granted that, the whole
field and application of this new and
charming vocabulary unrolls beneath
one as before the observer in a mount
ing spad.
A rigid is the most modern type of
self-sufficent young woman. Inevitably
she is dirigible. Neither storm nor
speed can buckle or bend her. Hers is
no mere task Of observing Imply. She
goes where she lists and waits, upon
neither man, wind nor economic depend
ence.
The semi-rigid is transition type,
not uncommon in period of change
and many Inventions OF no fixed char

herself, if need be, we can whisper. But
that is neither her appearance nor her
job. Dora was her name for David Cop
perfield; and long is the line of her glory.
To cling and smile and admire, such is
the great career Of the blimp. And the
smartest fileted semi-rigid that ever tried
to eat her cake and have it, too, has
lived to envy the simplicity with which
these modest creatures ascend and soar
and conquer.
Perhaps the rigid is the type of the
future. But may the blimp be long in

Vise Lunacy
In the past the suggestion OF estab-
hsh'ng manufacturing industries in the
prairie provinces would have been consid.
cred abundant proof either Of objectionable
ignorance or of candidacy for lunatic
asylum. During the past four or five years,
however, this attitude has undergone con-
siderable change. Already the advance
agents of indrstrialism are on tie field.
the Imperial Oil Company has been making
extensive industrial investments Ia the
prairie provinces, also have certain of
the packing interests. Prince Albert, in
Saskatchewan, aspires to rival Kansas City
as packing centre number of the most
progressive companies in Eastern Canada
and others in the United States have cs-
tablishcd branch plants in Western Canada
A growing realization Of the wealth Of these
provinces in natural resources has been
largely responsible for the new attitude.
Then, too, Alberta Is particularly rich in
coal, with an estimated IL per cent of the
worlds total supply, one quarter as much
as is contained in the United States. This
fuel for the most part is low grade, but
its industrial possibilities are very great,
and already Alberta is the foremost coal
mining province of the Confederation. IN
deed, the proposal has seriously been made
that iron ore from north of Lake Superior
be shipped to Western Canada to be smelted
with Saskatchewan or Alberta coal In ad-
dltlon, there are large supplies of natural
gas and probably oil, too. Wool of excellent
quality is now being produced in Western
Canada and, if the necessary labor were
available the prairie provinces should offer
attractive locations for woo.len mills Ste
fansson has already made known some of
the possibilities in utilizing the caribou
iand IN The Northwest. According TO official
estimates there are between 10000 900 and
S000o,000 caribou in this territory. Caribou
hide, when tanned, is said to be equal to
