Britain's Favorable Position.
(vancouver. B. C.. Star.)

Vancouver, B. C., Star)
 The British Parliament stands adjourned until February unless sooner called together again in case of emergency. The members disperse for the Christmas with the Knowledge that indus trial conditions better than when they met Ito take measures to deal with very critical Isituation.
 They know today that the budget is certain to be balanced and they have been told the authority of MT. Neville Chamberlain that not only will the Government meet all it's obligations out of current revenue but substantial contribution to the sinking fund will also be made It should not be forgotten that when the budget deficit to avert which such drastic steps were taken, held to be impending, the figures mentioned invariably included the customary payment to sinking fund account.
 Taking it for all in all the financial position of Great Britain is probably sounder than that of any lother country with which it may reasonably be compared Assuredly it is far better than that of the United States, which, while accumulating the larger portion of the worlds gold supply, has also achieved deficit which, by the end of the financial year, will exceed three billion dollars.
 Nor should the comparison between the two countries end here Unemployment, according to the ascertanabe statistics, is proportionately much less in Great Britain than in the United States and is decreasing there while it is increasing in the republic
 It may be added that Great Britain always states things at their worst; in the United States lit is almost criminal offense to acknowledge facts that are unfaVOraDe. FTencn governmental finance, too, like American unemployment figures, avoids unpleasant revelations long possible. For this reason, while it is known that France has a deficit the full amount of it is not easily lascertainable.
 It is unfortunate that, while, the whole, the British Ministry able to strike hopeful mote, it compelled to announce the suspension lof work on the giant Cunarder.
 There was, however no attempt to blink the facts. MT. Runcman almost blunt in his declaration that, owing to falling off in earnings,
 the Cunard Company had not sufficient funds avail able in it's depreciated coverage account to go on with the work and that the Government could not provide the money The best he could say was that he trusted circumstances would permit the resumption of work before long.
 It may be taken for granted that this latter depends a general improvement in world trade, which, again, is held back by Germany's inability to meet her foreign obligations. The solution of the problem thus created is to be found in part in Paris and in part in Wash ington Paris, however, resolutely blinds herself to the urgency of the case, while the capital of the United States think of world politics and world crises only in terms of a Presidential election and that is almost year away.

A WISE MOVE.

One of the best first steps toward restoring nor- nal conditions in the world is the American proposal for an international conference for the purpose Of revising world tariffs downward With Spain Italy, the British Dominions Argentina, Great Britain, France and other countries joining the United States in making all but prohibtive tariffs world trade IS drying up. It is freezing at the source, and with trade between the nations becoming less and less international obligations getting larger and larger. specified debt might be an easy matter when the trade volume is large and become as big as a mountain when commerce declines. It is a matter of relativity.
 American exports in 1881 were more than one billion dollars less than they were in 1880, and they are growing less month by month. Other countries are experiencing similar condition The only thing that would get the countries of the world out of the depression would be to build up trade so that the debts would relatively appreciaby shrink With nations with individuals country doing large business might carry large debt much easier than one with little business could handle small debt
 It is encouraging to know that President Hoover approves the international tariff conference provision of the Democratic tariff bill.

RETIREMENT OF JUSTICE OLIVER
 WENDELL HOLMES.

rho resipnation of Associate Justice Oliver Wen- dell Holmes from the United States Supreme Court is a matter to regret, though it will be readily ao- mitted that his right to retire is absolute He has given splendid service to his country and continued it far beyond the years anyone had right to expect of him. His term of service on the Supreme Court was more than twenty mine years. He has quit as he was nearing his ninty-f birthday. He has earned the right of curcease from toll
 Only eight of the seventy-eight men who have been members of the United States Supreme Court since it's organization in 1789 served longer than Justice Holmes Justice Bushrod Washington of Virginia nephew of the first President, appointed Tn 1798, served thirty-one years; Chief Justice John Marshal also of Virginia, appointed in 1901 con- tinued to preside until his death in 1885, giving thirty y-four years of distinguished service to ms country Chief Justice Roger B.

Wayne Of Geor- gia thirty-two years; Justice Stephen J. Field Of California, thirty -four years and Justice John M Harlan of Kentucky, thirty-four years.
 Other Justices who have served for quarter of a century or more include Chief Justice Fancy, twenty eight; Justice Gabriel Duval of Maryland, twenty five; Justice John Catron of Tennessee, twenty eight; Justice Samuel Nelson of New York, twenty-seven; Justice Samuel F. Miller of Iowa, twenty eight; Justice Joseph McKenna of Califor- nia twenty
 AS Associate Justice for sixteen years and Chief Justice for eleven, Chief Justice Edward D. White spent twenty-seven years on the Supreme Court.
 All these men who were on the Supreme Court bench for a quarter of century or more and many who were not there long, have through learning, patriotism steadfast application to the perform ance of duty done more to make the United States what she is than the average is likely to recog- nize But among them al none has worked harder, with finer sense of duty greater patriotism than Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes for nearly thirty years.

The Economy AK.
(New York World Telegram,

Prodded by demands of Democratic leaders iIl Congress for at least a $300O0O,000 cut in the Hoover budget estimates the President says he wishes Congress in it's economy move. Spec- fically he agrees with the Democratic proposal to save funds by recognizing the government to elim- mate duplicating bureaus.
 That makes it almost unanimous.
 The difficulty, however, is that this unanmity regarding the need of Federal administrative re- organization has existed for at least ten years. Every President since the has given this program lp-service.
 The rub is politics Added to that is the human factor-bureaucrats, like of other professions, tend to perpetuate themselves and their machinery
 Hence ten years of talk about much needed reform has resulted in action.
 Prospects of action this year better for sev- eral reasons. One reason is that the huge Federal deficit gives sharper spur than ever before to the economy motive.
 Another reason is that the Democrats in control of the House of Representatives Demo- crats Democrats purer and no more eff cient of course, than Republicans such. But it so happens that the Democrats, for the first time since the war, have good prospects of winning a national election-provided they make good show ing in this session of Congress.
 If the Democrats can claim credit for Federal economies, that will be perfect campaign ammuni- tion By the token, it is to the political ad- vantage of the Republicans-now that the Demo- crats have embarked economy crusade-to show that the administration cannot be outdone in this matter.
 Therefore chances are fairly good for some measure of Federal administrative reorganization and consequent saving.
