The Conservatism of Canada.

ANADA is in the league of nations and is
not regretting If. She has status now
that was lacking before, and her increas-
ing sense of nationalism is grati6ed by the fact
Or Robert Borden, the premier who carried
through negotiations at Paris that fixed this
status has not had to suffer any bitter criticism
Tor what he did, and in his voluntary retirement
can tnd much comfort in the fact and also in the
contrast between his estate and those of Clemen-
ceau, Orlando, Venizelos and President Wilson
When 1t comes to meeting Immediately the
larger problems of reconstruction. within the
British Empire that was and the British Common
wealth that IS to be, the Canadians, irrespective
OF party, seem to be in a conservative mood A
lively fight over the tariff and future sources of
dominion revenue is on; and it deserves more
attention that it is getting from the American
press because the recent election here has given
an American slant to the contest that may cause
the issue between the two governments to be-
come acute in 1921. .
Broadly speaking, however, Canada wants time
TO think about some of her coming duties to Great
Britain and the other dominions before she sits
IN with them at the formally announced imperial
conference OF 1921 She has been wont to consider
herset a daughter She claims to be sister
IN widely scattered family; and she is not quite
certain Just what sisterhood implies, and how far
1t may change past political, commercial and
military relations.
Australia, like Canada, is face to face with
problems of rights and duties in the coming re-
construction of the large British state; but she
has domestic problems much more acute than
those OF Canada, some of which have their in
ternational bearings. Hence she is speaking out
more boldly now, just as she did al, the Paris
Peace Conference.
No sincere attempt to visualize the burdens of
and =
the ministry carry, can omit this problem
of readjustment of internal conditions sufficient
in themselves to tax the powers of statesmen, of
FIRST rank; but precluded from calm and
careful study by the of perplexing issues
that grow out of Europe's and Asias chaos

Citizenship for Indians.

The Society of American Indians now in session
IN St Louis has the audable purpose Of protecting

is numerous, and with its blood flowing in the
veins of persons eminent in the state, Society
and the ranks of mionares in the Southwest
1t is race that has shown capacity to endure
quite atrocious treatment by its white conquerors
and to remain stoical in the face of frauds prac-
tced upon it by persons of the superior" race,
by politicians, and by the government itself Any
time it wishes it point to treaties made by
Uncle Sam which have been treated as scraps

Washington the Mason.

Tardily, after delay for which there is no ex-
cuse, the Masons of the country are busy raising
100000 with which to erect memorial to George
Washington, in which precious relics such as the
Alexandra Lodge has in greater degree than any
other organization, be worthily housed and
cared for. The Father of His Country does not get
that attention from men of today that his character
and service deserve. His fame does not lend itself
to the variety of socially organized that Lincoln
has proved fertile in suggesting, that Roosevelt
will. The events of IoI4-2o have crowded farther
back into the remote past the American Revolution
and also the '6I-6s war The greater the necessity
then of any organization, with legitimate claim
to pride in Washington loyal member, doing
handsomely all that can be done to make him seem
to be what he Undoubtedly was, namely veritable

A Universal Communications Union.

In the not distant future representatives of forty
nations are planning to sit down and agree upon
organization modelled after the Universal Postal
Union. Its object will be the standardizing and
making universal of rules governing transmission
of information by cable, telegraph, radio, and all
the latest devices of applied science now at the

Great Britain France, Italy. Japan and the United
States, who have been sitting in this city for the
past seven weeks. Their assignment to this task
was direct result of decision of the Paris peace
conference, after the experiences of national dele
gates there present with conditions of news trans

nation more strenuously insisted on the need of
reform and Standardization than the United States
But when it comes to giving effect to any
such plan of coordination and Standardization

that they hardly go along with them owing
to the lack of national power over cables owned

Points a Lesson.

Perhaps more unique memorial was erected to
Abraham Lincoln than when John Finn of Decorah,
Iowa, went into the woods and found a blackberry
shoot which he transplanted in front of his home
following the assassination of the President.
That tree has been nominated for place in the
hall, of fame for trees with a history which is
being compiled by the American Forestry Associa-
ton at Washington.
That tree teaches powerful lesson as to what
could be- done toward correcting the forestry
situation in this country. Fifty-hve years seems
long time to look ahead but John Finn can span
the years and span them quickly. There stands
the tree, towering lesson and warning. .
America must wake up and have forest crops
just as the country has wheat and coming

PAY UNION FINE
Car Company Asked to De-
duct Sum in Peculiar
circumstances.
BY RICHARD sPILLANE.

IT HAPPENED in New York State.
There was a traction strike.
The men resorted to sabotage. In
one instance a conductor ripped the
packing out of the journal boxes of
car. AS a consequence the fric-
tion caused a blaze and the car
took fire.
The motorman was not so close
Tipped as he might have been. He
told about the conductors act. For
so doing he was called before the
dnion and fined $50.
The strike ended. The men re-
turned to work. The motorman had
not paid his fine. The union there
upon sent a demand to the trolley
company to deduct the $50 from the
motorman's pay and remit il to the
treasurer of the union.
THAT'S a queer story that comes
/ from Buenos Ayres about the
threatened strike of liquor dealers,
tobacconists and purveyors OF play
ing cards. 1t appears that in the
province of Cordoba the authorities
became alarmed over intemperance
in liquor. in smoking and gambling
and, to check it, put heavy tax

bacco stores and sellers of cards,
whereupon the storekeepers an

from the large number Of jewel
L robberies reported these days IL
would appear that never in the his
tory of the country did the people
have such an amount of wealth in
precious stones. The deduction is
correct. Europeans have sold an i'm
mense amount of their diamonds,
rubies, emeralds, etc, here in the
last five or six years. There's an
other 1esson. Money put into jewels
increases with the increase in value
of the gems and is not subject to
income tax or, rather. the income tax
can be evaded.
The latest robbery is that of $4,000
in gems owned by Hugo r. John
stone, of the Metropolitan Club, New
York. He went to Garden City to
play golf. When he put his street
clothes in a locker he left his jew
elry there. When he finished his
game his gems were gone. Among
the things stolen were a $1,000 ruby
ring. a pearl stick pin, two other
rings set with gems and various
other articles Of high value.
Why a man should go around with
$4,000 in gems for adornment is not
plain.
But there is no accounting for
Comparatively few persons appre-
ciate how much some families have
invested in gems.

MENT" IN 1917.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Noticing the editorial '-The Par
lament of Man" In your paper of
the 18th instant. ] felt induced to
send you, here enclosed, a circular
letter which had issued long before
our country entered the war and be-
fore anything of President Wilson's
fourteen points was known. A
synopsis of this circular appeared
in your paper on the I'd of February,
1917, and 1t seems to me my sug-
gestions were not very far from the
mark.
The points brought out in Mr..
Braendle's circular are as follows:
Peace Preserved without Recourse
to Arms.
1. All questions OF minor details
'of peace shall be deferred for a Pc
riod of five years.
2. The establishment of a world
parliament represented by all ma
tions-a senatus mundi-with its
seat in Switzerland.
3. A court of justice. peace and
arbitration, with its seat at The
Hague. The members of this court
to be appointed by the world parlia-
ment.
4. All matters of international
law, of claims, equity, justice and
national rights, to be settled by the
two bodies.
5. The diplomatic present day sys-
TEN to be replaced by commercial
and Industrial commissions.
6. The furnishing of arms, ammu-
milton, food, or financial aid to any
belligerent whatever shall be deemed
an offense against mankind.
Z. Intercourse with any nation that
contemplates aggression against a
freedom of the seas abrogated, and
it's representation in the senatus
mundi suspended.
s. The forces that might be re-
quired to enforce peace may be re-
Questioned by the world parliament.
but there is no status of an en-
tangllng alliance with any country
in the world.
8. Indebtedness of nation can
not be collected, by force of arms,
by any other nation.
10. All nations to abide by the
final decisions of the international
court of justice, as reviewed by the
world parliament.
