ST. CROIX STATION.

81. lROIA STATION.
London, Jan. 9Th The British Isles
has sustained the ravages of an unusual
gale of cyclone force, which caused enor-
nous damage to the whole country and
it is feared took MAJ y lives. From every
part of Britain and il Gland come tales OF
damage caused by tie uprOoting OF trees
and telegraph and telephone poles and
the complete demOllsUIng OF small struc.
lures. The wind attained its maximum
velocity, estimated at IS miles an hour,
off the Yorkshire coast, and numerous
shipping accidents ere reported in both
the English ana Irish Channels. Many
parts OF the country, that had hardy re-
covered their telephone and railway con.

were again isolated and the extent Of the
loss OF lie ana damages in the rural sec
tlOns have not yet been Cetel mined.

Empire stands today at the dawn Ot,a

Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs
told the Canadian Club on Saturday IN
his first message to Canadians while
the last Imperial Conference formally
announced that all nations in the I'm
pire had a place Ut absolute equality one
with another the future greatness OF the
Empire would not lie along lines of
separate individual development he said.
A future much greater than the past
must be built upon lines OF complete CO.
operation both In business and ID spirit,
he urged. Canada today is a great
Pacific Power" he said, while she drew
her clvInsatiOn from the Atlantic it looks
to the future also across the Pacific"
The purpose OF his tour, be said, was
to meet the citizens of Canada face to
face and to understand them in the new
era OF Empire relations" The old Colo
NAL era, starting with Lord Durhams
report ended with the great war he
declared. The war he continued, had
placed the Empires nation on a new
footing of equality and this status had
been completely accorded them at the last
Empire Conference" While the Confer
tnce marked a great constitutional
deve. opment it could not surprise any
student of Empire affairs. The con-
illusions Of the Conference were impli-
cit in the very foundations of the Empire.
All we tried to do was 10 sum up the
situation as it existed. This was not The
first time the British people had done
this ana on each previous occasion good
had resulted. The Conference had land
down ln the first place the complete
equality OF British nations, that none
was subor dinated to another. Canada is
not more subordinate TO Britain than
Britain is to CaLada he declared. That
pIiI cipie was LAID Gown tor the hole

5 January, 1928.
The Honorable,
The Chairman of the Colonia! Council,
Municipality of Saint Croix,

In accordance with a request from
the Chairman of the Municipal Commit
tee dated January 4. 1928, there are
forwarded herewith statements of the
Municipal Telephone Fund for the years
1926 and l926-27, together with copy
Of the Regulations for the St. CroiX Mu-
nicipal Telephone Service and Schedule
of Charges IS approved by the Municipal
Committee April Is, 1925. and His EX-
celleDcy, the Governor, on April 20, 1925.
On several occasions statement of the
Municipal Telephone Fund has been fur
nished the Municipal Committee upon re,
quest of its Chairman, but no record can
be found in the office of the Despatching
Secretary of a previous request to have
this statement furnished the Colonial
Council.
Due to the installation of the Depart
mcnt of Finance it will be necessary to
make certain changes in the present reg
ulatlOns in order that they may conform
to the requirements Of this Department,
When prepared, the revised regulations
will be submitted to the Municipal Com

prior to submitting them to the Governor

The text Of Governor Moody's response to Repre-
sentative Buchanan's inquiry whether the State Of
Texas would establish noneotton zones in areas infest-
government should agree to bear the entire cost Of
those who would be put under the re-
straint Of that action. has not been made public Such
information has has been vouchsafed il that given in d
dispatch TO The News from its Washington corre-
s~pondent.
According 70 this, Governor Moody did not make =
categorical answer. Instead, he seems to have argued
that il would be impossible to maintain n%oncctton zones
unless funds for indemnifying those Immediately af-
fected were made available In advance. Mr.. Buchanan's
inquiry was based upon the hypothesis that that would
be done. SO that, as The News correspondent remarks,
the governors response may not illogieally be regarded
a. an affirmative answer. Yet IL Is 10 be wondered
that Governor Moody made an answer whose exact
meaning il left to Interpretation. TIE purpose Of Mr..
Buchanan was, manifestly, TO get warrant 10 assure
congress that If n supplied the funds necessary for
making a war of determination Texas would supply
the authority for the employment Of the measure which
such a warfare would make necessary. The governors
answer does not give that assurance, at least in the
categorical way to make it serviceable TO Mr.. Buchan-
ans need. The contingent proposition which is pre-
scented to Texas in Mr.. Buchanan's resolution Is one
which Texas should accept lot only positively. but
eagerly. Mr.. Buchanan will find 1t difficult to accom-
plish what he has set out to do. It has been the prac-
tice Of the federal government to defray but one-third
the cost Of decentralization. and that precedent will
stand az a formidable obstacle to his resolution pro-
posing that the federal government defray three thirds
that cost. III he Is to succeed he will need u positive
assurance that, il congress shall be induced to do what
ne has proposed, Texas can be depended on to COOP
crate earnestly.

SAFEGUARD PEACE
By WILLIAM r. CASTLE, JR.,
Assistant Secretary Of State.

Assistant secretary o. state.
Xilliam r. Castle. Jr, was born in Honolulu,
II. i, in 1878. He was graduated from Harvard
university in 1900. Castle served as assistant dean
az Harvard university from 1905 to 1918. He then
entered diplomatic service at Washington. Castle
was appointed assistant secretary Of state in 1919.
He now is chief Of the division Of western Eu-
ropean affairs).
The primary business Of the department Of state, as
everybody knows. who knows anything AZ all about our
government, is the conduct Of our foreign relations.
They must be 50 conducted, If the business Is well done,
as 70 strengthen all those principles on which interna-
tional peace is based in a manner which win, at the
same time, maintain and increase respect for this
country.
II is natural, Of course, that the public should con
slider the principal work Of the department. in advanc-
ing the cause Of peace to Be the negotiation Of treaties
directly bearing on that subject. Fundamentally this is
a mistake, because the real buluark Of peace is the
growth Of international understanding which comes
through the give and take Of normal international re-
lations. The Just settlement Of trade disputes, the
elimination OF barriers which restrict the flow Of COM
merce, the protection Of legitimate American interests
everywhere. and the corresponding respect for the rights
Of foreigners in the United States; the true interpre-
taticn OF events and tendencies which might otherwise
he misunderstood-al these things which are the daily
routine OF all departments az foreign affairs the world
over, are the true safeguards Of peace.
The fact cannot be denied that in tie normal course
Of international relations there j. certain to be repeat
ed Misunderstanding This Is inevitable, as il is in
evitable that in a large family different members should
disagree. But disagreement does not mean the disrup-
tion of the family. Very few quarrels lead 70 blows
and his becomes more and more true as the members
of the family grow older and learn to recognize each
others rights.
Exactly the same procedure Is true In the great fam
ny Of nations. The two who disagree talk il over and
reach a settlement, OR they cali for outside advice. Or
they Put their ease before a court. or they 20 to war.
