Canadian War Veterans
= To Meet in Montreal

Ottawa.-The annual convention
Of the Great War Veterans Associ-
alton of Canada is to open in
Montreal on March %, according
to announcement from Dominion
headquarters here. The date is
much earlier than usual and is so
fixed owing to the fact that at that
time the Federal parliament will
be in session. A series of provincial
conventions will precede the Do
minion gathering.
The Montreal convention is -ex-
pected to decide whether or not the
organization should enter the DO
litical field. As there are 761 vet
erans' branches throughout Canada
the assembly, which has been
termed "the returned mems parlia-
ment." will be of considerable pro-
portions.

will America see 15-cent loaves
Of bread? Will the rising prices
OF wheat in the big markets hit
the average consumer?
On the contrary. bread is likely
to come down. Tho average con-
sumner should be immune from these
abnormal prices being paid for
wheat. IL he will use sense in buy
ing.
Anyone who tries to corner the
wheat market, anyone who tries
to get rich by speculation in wheat
and flour. is liable to lose heavily.
Julius H. Barnes. federal wheat di-
rector. has even gone so far as to
warn jobbers and millers not to
speculate in wheat with the Sp-
preaching dissolution OF the L. S.

LABOR SHORTAGE

The labor shortage has never been more acutely felt in this district than at the present time, declares the Mccarthy Weekly News. Cop. per and placer mining and the Fed eral Road commission work are all being held back on account of it.
 We do not say the government should adjust the wage scale, but the cost of supplies must be reduced. For instance, sugar, which is a com modity every man must have in this climate in some form or other; at the present price no property owner can ever entertain an idea of making higher wage as an inducement to labor.
 Until supplies are more normal thcre is little hope of better results for employer or employe.

as of party eXpediency, the attention of the American people must contin- uously be called to the fact that the present national administration, at a time when the very fate of the nation was at stake, filled posts of high re- sponsibility with incompetents, and that as a result the people are now being taxed to pay the interest on debt that is perhaps twice as great as it need have been if the administra- tion had not deliberately proceeded to treat the American dollar as if it were worth thirty cents. This waste, whether the result of criminality or mer stupidy, did not win the war; it would have lost the war if the war had lasted as long for us as it did for tEe allies. Let it not be understood that the nation and the people can thus be imposed upon and that those who commit such outrageous wrongs can get away with it without censure, though they may escape the punish ment that is their just due.
 It is not surprising to note that after the experiences of the past few years the people of the country have not the old time faith in the promises and programs of political parties. It will be the duty of the Republican party by actual performance to re- store the faith of the people in public leadership The Republican national platform wisely refrained from prom ising tfat it would quickly get back the coU-,try to normal It called at- teItion to the fact that where such chaos had been created, the job for the wrecking crew was a huge one, and tsat all any political party could safely promise now was to halt the destructive influences now in opera tion, and make a start toward prac- i tica1 reconstruction.
 The Republican party will be re- l turned to power because the peo-
 pie have experienced the present na- tional administration, and their recol- l lection of Republican days gives | them reason to believe that Repub- lican supremacy means a better or doring of national affairs The more 1 1Srr1,& so T ] ing, the almost unbelievable story | of national business mismanage- ment under the present national ad-

Garfield lived about six months, and Mckinley from March to Sept. IA of his second term. Hayes and Taft were one-termers. Virginia's five presidents were in office thirty-six years only one, Tyler, serving a single term.

NO COMPROMISE WITH NATIONAL
 MiSMANAGEMENT

The remark is sometimes made that the Republican party should not depend upon denunciation ot the short comings of the party and administra- tion in power to bring it to victory. It is true that criticism, to be of value must be constructive. But sometimes the most constructive thing it is pos. sible to do is to arrest destructive forces already in operation. When a house is on fire the paramount issue is to put out the fire. Nobody wants to stop to look over the blue prints of the architect who says he is ready to put up a new structure in place of the old. The principal issue of the campaign of 1920 is the comparative ability of the party and leadership, to run the government, and an essential part of the argument is a complete comprehension of the extent of the break down of government under the present national administration.
 The Republican party cannot safely leave to the radical elements of the country the task of criticizing and de nouncing the mistakes made and the wrongs committed, especially in war management by the present national administration Failure to severely criticize the outrageous waste, if not downright dishonesty, which has char acterized much of the mismanage- ment of the business side of the war, would be taken as a confession Of sympathy with a betrayal of trust which makes the blood of every worthwhile American boil in contam- plation of what was done, in many in stances with the money collected from the American people through ap- peals to their patriotism and their un- selfishness. Moreover, failure to char acterize strongly such transactions as the purchase of one branding iron for every two horses owned by the gov ernment, is a failure in loyalty to the country. The Republican party must make it clear in this campaign that it IS in sympathy neither with the off clal lncapacity, or whatever it was, that permitted the government to be sWindled, nor with the cupidity which took advantage of the nations neces- sltles in time of war and dishonestly made away with hundreds of millions of dollars collected from the people in the name of patriotism and altru- ism. It is such betrayal of public trust, such exploitation of the nation at time when four million men were being asked to give their all that the republic might endure, and millions more were scrimping and saving and sacrificing that these soldiers might be properly fed and clothed and armed, that more than all else tends to break down the faith of the peo pie not only in the government but in human nature. With such wrongs as these there can be no palliation in the minds of those who really love, and desire to serve this country.
