session There is plenty of material for discussion in Lieut General Sir Sam Hughes correspondnnco with Premier Borden Dr re port the returned in a double sense be cause Ihoy chose to come homo and be colonels rather than go to the front and become lieutenants the superswollen mili tary establishment in England and many other matters bearing on the Borden Governments in capacity to manage its end of the war Meanwhile the talk in the cor ridors is all of registration and national service Is the Govern ment pulling it over briskly Arc he cards being filled in After Ihe cards are filled in what next How long will it take to count classify tabulate and cross index the answers Two months Three months perhaps A cen sus of any kind is always slow work When the first count la indexed will the Government have another registration this time with fines and penalties to catch the sulky fellows who tore their cards up And after this second count is how long will it take lo tabulate that Another two months Three months well perhaps And that brings us to July 1917 about which time the allied offensive and the German counter thrust should be at their height Many things can happen In six months if the registration takes that longand there is a dispo sition in these cynical precincts to believe that the Borden Gov ernment is going let them hap pen which is a wise course lo pursue because now could the Borden Government prevent things happening in any way It would he very much like Mrs Partingtons attempt to sweep back the Atlantic Ocean course is to wail and see meanwhile making use of no ble gestures like national regis tration and such Members of Parliament who are in touch with labor say thai there afro several reasons the doesnt sign the registration cards- quite as cheer fully as he would a petition to hang Kaiser One reason is hat he doesnt consider it a square deal lo make an inventory of the man power of Canada lo neglect making an inventory of the moneypower If the one is mobilized or conscripted the oili er ought be too There may be something in this objection If the national registration has any other object llan finding out whos married and whos not whos Two in Canada so to speak it must be the war and if men can fight money as Shakespeare says is a good soldier too and will march This naturally brings up question of the excess profits of munition manufacturers and oth ers who liave got rich out of contracts fs the Government point to do more with these gentry and if it doesnt it let the workingman know beforehand so that when they ask him lo Jell all he knows about himself he may do with a glad heart Hosvsillv by the way some of the questions must appear lo the profiteer Of course he would ho if hi fare was lo go anywhere else In Canada and make same money he is You your life ho would As for the he doesnt look at It quite that way Why he asks should he tear up his home by the roots and go elsewhere in Canada some rich munition maker rich er If the manufacturers of munitions were nationalized ah that would be another I One does for ones what one hesitates to do for the cnnllrilisl They got thr right idea in England there the Government he io make sacrifices offices in arc fighting this taxyto last gasp One Canadian capitalist who had a big contract from British War Office Is said to bb organizing opposition to this oil thai It Is Can adian money and not English that the British trying to tax This samo capitalist over hero In Canada sings quite a different song Ho lolls the Canadian profilcors Is to soy those who make their pro fits out of the Canadian Govern ment and not like him out of the British War Office that they ought to he ashamed of making so much money and that tho time haft come for them to make great sacrifices for their country In fact he is to sacrifice everybodys profits but his own This Is habit philanthropists frequently develop being gen erous with other peoples monoy Mr has given it out that everybody should mako sac rifices and he pretty nearly has his Wish Wo arc all sacrificing lo Mr and his follow food monopolizers Tho soldier marches bravely the war It and leaves bis wifo and children behind lo spend the separation allowance and what they get from the patriotic fund and what else they may earn besides on buying something to eat For example bacon costs forty cents a pound Al that scale of prices it is not long before Canadas patriotic slip back to a few men who are gelling very very rich out of necessaries of life 1 Chairman mes sage is lo the effect that Canada is drunk with prosperity If Canada is drunk with what Mr says she is alio doesnt know it A few fellows have made good money in munition factories but the aver age man has not had his wagck raised in any proportion to the cost of living Tho dollar is only twothirds value il was before the war General ly speaking food has gone up thirtyfive per cent and wages two per cent If this is being drunk with prosperity is a very sober kind of drunkenness All most of us do nowadays is see our and then kiss goodbye It is true that Che customs re ceipts show large increases and that Canada has had a riot of spending But this extravagance Is not so much the exuberance of prosperity as the recklessness of despair Eat drink and be clad gaily say people for tomor row Ihe beneficiaries of a forly- tariff will take it Jill out of us anyway Prices arc because the shopkeepers make ern high while the making is good Besides everybody is doing Hut the ultimate con sumer is no further ahead On Ihc
