decides to call for general election rather than
take the chance OF being defeated in the house.
Encouraged by the defeat OF the government in
byelections the leaders Of the opposition parties Mr.
Mackenzie King and Mr.. Crerar, very busy
strengthening their organizations and preparing to
carry their fight against the premier with greater
energy. Although the Liberal and Progressive parties
have not united. they take very similar position
with regard to the important question of tariff and
both opposed to the protectionist doctrine of the
government Neither favors free trade, but advocate
a tariff for revenue, but not for protection There is
OF course considerable resentment because OF the
American tariff which would keep out Canadian food
suffs and supporters OF the government making
the most of this argument for Canadian protec-
ton On the other hand, the importance of the Amer-
can market is realized and this has again raised the
issue OF reciprocity.

Criticism of Pacific Policy.

A article in the Paris Journal quoted by the New
~ York Times expresses strong disapproval Of the
which has been followed by the United
States with regard to the Far East The basis OF the
argument is that the American is endeayorng
to repudate the engagements of the previous administration
especially concerning Yap and Shantung and in the
of the latter has secretly been encouraging China oppose
the japanese The writer OF the article NJ ST. Brce.
ders the question of Yap characteristic of the equvoca
policy of this government He maintains that when the
island formally awarded to Japan objection was
made, but later the American has held that il
is bound by the action of the supreme council and the
signature of President Wilson 1t is also eontended that
the Lansing agreement which recognized the particular
interests of Japan in China, gave tact the
sumption by Japan of the German rights in Shantung The
present administration is refusing admit that the
Shantung question is settled and is urging the Chinese
government to refuse to accept the proposals offered for
settlement by Japan NJ ST. Bnce declares that the
Americans inclined to regard the LanngIsh agree
merely of Mr. Wilson's mistakes the Japanese
would be foolish to discuss any treaty with the United
States He also believes that would be great mistake
for France to attempt to act mediator in this affair.

The Green Internationale.

The Green Internationale is an organization OF
the agricultural classes of Europe formed along the
lines of the various Socialist and Communist Inter-
naonales AS it exists today 1t represents organized
peasants estimated in the following nunbers: Hun
gary, 3oooooo;s Austria. 100000; Bavaria 100000;
Crotia 10000; Bulgaria 100000 This internation-
ale formed at Passau by representatives of the
peasant parties of Bavaria Austria, Hungary, Nor
mandy. Croatia Switzerland and Bulgaria. Regarding
the motive and purpose of this organization, d.
Thompson and NJ W. Fodor have this to say in the
London Nation and Athcndenm:
ut is worth while to recall that the of
this conference DIR. Helm, of Bavaria. probably had
the welfare and progress of the peasants less in mind
than the idea of forming countcrpoise to the various
Red internationales But il this his purpose he
failed because the body thus assembled did not knde
to any program of championing the town capitalist
against the militant town worker. What captured
the imagination of the gathering was the idea of
putting down once and for all the ascendency of the
interests those of the country. Their an
tpathy was toward industrialism in all forms In
sense II may be said that the peasant is uncon-
sciousy 'Bolshevik than the Socialist town worker,
for the latter merely wants to transfer the control Of
the industrial system, while the peasant is willing
to see the end of it,"

II notice that the irreconcilable opponents of

seem that 70 their vision towns must
appear as large or small ant-hills
without special characteristics. yet
Il is not so. studying the habits Of
ants from so great a height should
be but "a mild diversion when coupled
with the soft drink that mythology
tells as IS their only solace. But
doubtless they have amused them
selves By the comparison OF villages
and towns; and it will be no news to
them (nOr. perhaps. 70 many NOR
taIs), that ia one particularly New
York stands unique among the cities
Of the world. This shall be. the
theme Of a little story addressed 20

Sabbath-slippered feet on another

first IL is a fight to a finish.
Your opponent IS the city. You
must do battle with it from the
time the ferry boat lands you on the
island until either it is yours or it
has conquered you. 1t is the same
whether you have a million in your
pocket or only the price of a weeks

The battle is 10 decide whether
you shall become a New Yorker or

You must be for or against-lOver
or enemy-bosom friend or outcast.
