IMPERIAL FEDERATION is
NOT PRACTICAL NOW
Canadian Premier Says Only Feasible
Plan Is To Have Delegates Rep
rcsontatiye of People

London, Nov. Premier w. u.
Mackenzie King. of Canada, speaking
at a dinner given last night by the
Overseas league. said that although
modern means of communication
might eventually make it possible for
elected representatives of all the en-
pire to be seen in the empires cari-
tai, the idea of an imperial fedora
ton was not now within the scope Of
practical politics.
IF by imperial cabinet or council .
the Canadian prime minister said,
you mean a gathering of representa-
tives who speak not as individuals, but
for the people they represent, and who
are responsible to them for the ad-
vice they give the sovereign, then
should welcome it with all my heart
But If you mean gathering of
gentlemen without authority to speak
on behalf of the parlianfents or the
peoples they represent xxsx it
would be a reversion to the old order
when men were nominated from the
top down, while the whole spirit of
cur constitution is from the broad
base up"
In Mr.. Kings opinion the most en-
during system of imperial relations is
that of community of free nations
with full rights and privileges.
Premier Bruce of Australia agreed
with Mr.. King. He thought the i'm
perial federation idea had died long
ago. central parliament at West
minister with a cabinet controlling the
destinies of the empire was a system
that would never come, in his opinion.
The Prince of Wales spoke OF tho
empire as "a group OF virtually indie
pendent sister states all cooperating
for the common good"

Condemn "Baby Talk
Rv Kindergarten Staff

Chicago. March o2.-Baby talk. de-
fined as IAN expression of self-vi-
brating with parenthood,' is con-
demncd as a dangerous and ludicrous
practice by Miss Marion Lanphier.
Ph.B., instructor in essentials OF
speaking at the National Kinder
garten and Elementary College.
Exhorting young fathers and moth
ers to ware of "itta darlin"" and
"wittle wambkins" and kindred terms
Of parental endearment, Miss Lam
phier points out that only six out of
every ten children escape detrimental
impressions FROM the absurd Ian
guagc of their parents affections
Says Miss Lanphier:
"There is a serious side to baby talk
which is forcibly presented to the
students at the National Kinder
garten and Elementary College. Dur
ing the first six years of the average
child's life he passes from the isolated
syllable stage to the full sentence
stage Of language development. From
there on the process is an intricate
elaboration Of all the twists and
idiosyncracies of English expression.
Woe to the child who has been
bit weak in language development
and who has had IN his ears incorrect
auditory imagery from early baby
hood to the primary grade periods.
There is constant danger that this
child may be either weak in his IAN
guage development or so precocious
in some other development that the
language process, not weak In itself,
is simply retarded before the stronger
growth, mentally or physically. In
either case the practice of baby talk
is distinct danger. Furthermore,
baby talk is frequently groundwork

Editorial Comment
A Humorist's Sound Sensc
(Boston Herald)


Prof. Stephen +. Leacock of NcGill
University in Montreal has an inter-
national reputation as a humorist. In
New York the other day, however, he
eScheWed all appeals to the risibili-
ties of his hearers at the luncheon of
the Canadian club and hammered
economic facts home with all the pre-
clsion of a Dawes and all the enthus-
iasm of Roosevelt.
For example: We know in Cana
da that the moment government
steps out of its proper field into pro-
ductive enterprise. it fails, absolutely
and completely. Take the case of our
Canadian government railways. We
are losing enough millions every year
on them to turn possible prosperity
into hard times. / cannot see why we
should keep up the elaborate pretence
that Sir Henry Thornton or anybody
else can manage with profit the vast
misbegotten and struggling creation
called the Canadian National Rail-
ways. The Chinese are said to need
railways. Let them come and take
ours"
And again: Capital is dscouraS ed.
The root of the trouble is that we
have discouraged and checked private
enterprise. Infected with the collec-
zionist ideas of ouladay, we look with
suspicion upon the huge fortunes
that used to fall to organized indus
try. We called them Empire Build
crs.' but now term them 'Profiteers'
and all they can do, is to sit still and
keep out of the penitentiary. As to
his money. the most he can do with 1t
is to buy government bond and
watch the government waste the
principal and tax the community to
death to pay the interest"
Rather neatly put, and the points
the genial humorist makes are as
pertinent this side the international
boundary as the other.

Americans Enticed
BY Sunny Islands

honolulu. T. H.. March 6.--(MaiI)
The United States harbors a large
number OF citizens who would be
Kings. according to letters applying
Tor royal jobs which have found their
way TO Governor Wallace r. Earring
ton. They come as a result OF an
apparently widespread Instrumentation
OF the South Seas.
The applicants got busy after read
ing a mainland newspaper article
headed Rulers Wanted for Isla nds I'm
south Seas" and the erroneous in
formation that "details might be OBJ
tanned from the American Consul at
honolulu" The deluge OF letters that
followed found their way, in the alb
sence OF an American Consul at
Honolulu. to the American governor
OF the American territory Of Hawaii.
The newspaper article was part Of
series entitled life as It Really Is
in the South Sei.s." The first article,
according to information here, began
with the question:: "How would you
like to be the ruler Of South Sea
1sland?" Apparently the number OF
American citizens who crave to don
royal paraphenalia in some far-off
palm lined, trOpic island is legion. The
applicants included insurance sales
men, farmers. university students, oil
men. cowboys, clerks and bankers.
The position OF king was described
as not arduous, hours not long, and
with continued series Of tall glasses
OF amber rum punch always at the
elbow of the monarch. The only dis
advantage to the job was given as
''the loneliness. which grows"
One applicant wrote: Seeing re-
Gently in one of our Texas papers an
article in regard to kings jobs in
the South Sea Islands. would you
kindly furnish me with information
in regards to /king's job in said
islands? What part of the islands
are men wanted, what experience Is
necessary, if transportation is fur
nshed, what salary Is paid, and I'M
der whom does the applicant work
if awarded a position? Is it 4 y. .
government position, or is it a local
concern? Any other information you
can furnish will be appreciated.
Another applicant states his quail
fcations in these words: MY dear
Consul: This story appeals TO tne
Writer,and If there is anything 10 u
would be pleased to get in touch win
the maker of kings. Have mad lots
of experience handling men and con-
quoting business, and am sure
could learn how to make copra. ii
