Conference or Cabinet.

THE exact status and future functions OF the British
imperial conference which will be held in Lon
don next month and attended by the prime min
isers OF the great self-goyernng domnions matter
of great interest and is causing great deal OF COM
ment in English and dominion papers In a speech
before the Anzac Club, Mr.. Winston Churchill, the
colonial secretary asserted that the colonial statesmen
were not coming to England this year to participate
in an imperial Conference" but for meeting OF the
imperial cabinet" which was established in 1917
Comment on this statement, the Manchester GHGrdGn
says:
when Mr.. Lloyd George summoned the Dominion
in that year, and included for the hrs
time the spokesmen OF India the summons emphasized
the fact that this ordinary conference, but
participation in cabinet meetings. While disownng all
adventures in 'flamboyant Imperialism he spoke OF
this new body as "a memorable landmark in the
stitutonal history of the empire But he admitted
that the institution must be extremely elastic and he
forbore to prophesy to what Developments il might
lead 1t cannot we think lead to any in the way OF
joint cabinet government OF the empire. Yet that is
what an imperial cabinet should surely aim at if it is
to have that The logical end of such device
would be that the British people would be ruled by
executive of which a part had responsibility to
them, and the domnions would suffer much more
acutely from the anomaly. 1t is wonder that
the device, when first used provoked great deal Of
criticism from Australians Canadians and South Afri-
cans, who rightly jealous for the autonomy of their
countries The need of consultation between the chiefs
OF the British commonwealth is great it
was and do not doubt that1t to consultation the
meeting of june next will in fact conhne itself But
why them persist in calling the conference cabinet
which in this connection has and provoca
tive signifcance?" =. p .-..r. K ~; x

Rumanian Agrarian Reforms.

The original plan of agrarian reform in Rumania
has been considerably altered According to the Near
East it at first proposed transfer appropriated
lands to cooperative lands cooperative societies
of the peasants who should work it in common and
share the profits This plan, says this paper, found
no favor in the eyes of the peasant, who does not
take kindly to cooperation. So loud and insistent
his complaints and his demands for individual
ownership that the present government finally
obliged to give way them. Committees of experts
who appointed for distribution OF the land have
been working for many months but owing to the
many complications among which the varying
quality Of the land and the desire of each man to
have part of the best, little progress has been made.
The amount OF land which each peasant receives de-
pends to certain extent upon the density OF the
population in his district and in the of densey
populated where there has been enough land
to go around, peasants have moved to more sparsey
settled districts In order to receive their shares. AS
the law stands the largest of land allowed
to any landowner In Besarabia Is 100 hectares in
Pennsylvania 500 hectares, and in the old kingdom! Of
Rumana, 900 hectares.

Comment on British Strike.

Referring to the British industrial troubles the
HGmbnrger NGehriehten says: The triple alliance Of
British workmen has failed. The so-called common
which in British labor circles always prevails
has won victory over the ultra-radical elements,
revolutonst and social reformers, for whom the coll
lapse of the existing society and the present scheme Of
the universe cannot come quick enough. A healthy
intellect which further than the horizon of
party doctrine which recognizes the nterdependence
of the factors in economic, political and social life and
understands that part live unless the whole
lives-that is what is called common sense in England.
The collapse of the great strike in England must be
great disappointment to Socialists. Will il be a
warning for Socialist party? Will the latter recol-
lect their German nationality? And finally will it
learn that there is nothing important in these
times than to feel German. think German and act
German?" t.,,, ...

Tides for Water Power.

According to the Erporatem Francois a bill will
be introduced into the French Senate to enable the
government to complete experiments now being car
red out for the purpose of deriving power from
the tides 1t is expected that the reduction of Frances
coal requirements by the production of water falls
be extended by the OF the tides for the came
purpose. France has coast line of 100000 kilo-
meters the Atlantic and the channel where the
force of the tides greater than in any other country
At ST. Malo the force of the tides is greater than
almost any other in the world The experiments
along this line not and from 1887 to 1870 a
number of patents have been secured for for
utilizing the water power of the tides
In spite of the fact that extensive construction
and costly equipment will be necessary if this project
is carried out, Is estimated that the of produc
tion of sea water power would be considerably less
than fresh water power.

The Krupp Works in Chill.

THE Paris Information regards as exceedingly
alarming the report that the Krupps OF Ger
many about to establish metalurgical works
in Chill 1t is pointed out that, besides rich iron de-
poss Chill possesses almost monopoly Of nitrates
which will permit the manufacture of high explosives
1t is believed that the establishment Of armament
plants in Chill will make the district into a German
arsenal, which would facilitate the mobilization of Ger
man subjects abroad A large force of Germans in
South America fully equipped and possessed of a
monopoly of the material for the manufacture of high
explosives would constitute very serious to
any nation with which Germany might be at
Germanys disregard for the rights of neurals would
permit her to possession of Chlis nitrate de-

be an obstacle to the operation of armament factories
