Bills for Veterans Care.
{ New York Post.


 In most features the Sweet bill for coordinating Government activities in behalf former soldiers just reported by the House Commerce Committee, is sound. It would establish a Veterans in the Treasury Department under a $10,000 Assistant Secretary. The Dawes commission wanted the bureau independent of any department and responsible only Ito the President. But Congress is reluctant to create such body, and it is not worth delaying bill to overcome it's reluctance The measure recog- n1zes the principle of bringing under head the soldier-care activities of the War Risk Bureau Pub lie Health Service, and Vocational Board It pro- vldes for decentralization, with fourteen regional offices and fifty sub-offices The administration of the Governments insurance business is beraized. AS soon as the bill receive a few changes it should be passed It should have the right of way over the Kenyon bill, which would place the same Veterans Bureau in the proposed Department of Public Welfare This long delayed of justice to disabled soldiers and sailors must not be made to wait on the passage of debatable measure and on the subsequent organization of the new department If created t5a %T
 The salient feature in which the bill needs amend ment is in it's failure to carry out completely the Hprlnc1ple of coordination It gives the Veterans Bureau all the powers of the War Risk Bureau and all those which assigned to the Vocational Board by the Rehabilitation Act of 1918. But it g1ves 1t only part of the powers of the Public Meath Service It takes from the Service those duties which relate to the examination, assign ment to hospitals, and welfare of veterans But actual hospital care and dspensary would Still be left to the Health Service, and the Veterans Bureau would not be guaranteed adequate super vision Of them The Service should be stripped of all functions concerned with the of veterans.

 The same idea has been used in the States. though with what would seem to us the more sensible plan of having the stirs to the upper floor inside the entrance. Especially in a country where winter is a long siege of snow and ice, a flight of 15 to 20 steps to be kept in condition for

THE THIRST AND FUR TRADERS

teries. asylums, schools-nearly all under the direction of some churchly organization. and nearly all French.
 When you consider that four fifths of Montreal is French. this is not surprising. The surprising fact is that so much good English is spoken Most of the people seem to use both tongues. The public schools teach both, and the Government issues all it's proclamations and street signs in both English and French. Even the bill boards are apt to proclaim the excellence of their wares in the two languages.
 A cosmopoliton City.
 Despite the prevalence of the French, all sorts of types are in par ade in Montreal. Tn a downtown street, you may see a typical Irish man, pipe, smile, umbrella, and high topped felt hat: then a Britisher, with cane, tweeds. and perhaps spats. His London patois bristling with "cheerio" and ''toodleoo," Is more striking against the French back ground than it would be elsewhere in the Dominion. It reminds you suddenly that Montreal is British territory.
 The American is all over the city too. with his inevitable camera and guidebook. and his exchange of con- fidence with his fellow travellers about trains, boats. connections, things to see. how to get stung. the best restaurants, the rate of ex- change. and so on, endlessly.
 The French types do not stand out so, by reason of their prevalence. and because they fit into the atmosphere, Their houses. however, are extremely picturesque. In the older quarters of Montreal. long rows of these houses may be seen. They are dec orated flamboyantly with scroll work balconies, spires, towers and dormer windows.
 But the quainest touch is that ev- cry one has a flight of steps on the outside going up from the street to
