conference of the premiers has side-stepped the issue after a discussion lasting for three days. Tentative plans were agreed to for a big scheme under Federal auspices to promote settlement and provide work. The settlement plan includes an elaboration of the idea of immigration of the best and most carefully selected kind. The British Isles will be the recruiting ground. . Sweden, where water -powers abound, is undertaking a. verywide expansion of el- ectrication. This includes plans for run- ning all its trains -by electricity.

The man you might hesitate to borrow a monkey-Wrench from `greets you ` cordially when you call him. While others cool their heels in outer. offices, waiting, you sell him. He is in a receptive frame of mind. His curiosity is appealed to. : He realizes the conversation `will be brief, and lets down the bars. .

Your goods go through doors that were formerly closed to them. ` We were satisfied with the pony post, until the railroad came. The mail and telegraph answered every need until the telephone came. All means of communication have their special uses, but for speed the tele- phone is best of all. Long Distance reaches more places than there are Post Offices.

Anglo-French negotiations and relationship: there is discernible a note of relief, as 1 a crisis had been passed and the Pleasant Willey of Friendship once more entered upon.

Standing as they do on the \hreshold of the economic conference which will spell a new start or continued chaos` for,.Eur-ope, -there is need for vccfndence. Raymond Poincare, who succeeds Briand as Premier of France, was a. keen and persistent critic of his prede- ceesor"s-policy. He now professes to be an- xious to continue the negotiations with `equalit' . Behind that is the determin- ' ation of France to maintain its attitude on the question of a large submarine eet, and to continue to demand that Germany There seems to `be no doubt, however, that an arrangement will be made i between assure joint action in the event of aggres- sion by Germany against France. Fitting- ly enough there is in the negotiations now progressing a. tacit acknowledgment of the part oia Britain that the overseas self-gov erning Dominions are free nations. It is specically stated in London that Canada and all the other Dominions will be ex- cluded from any agreement that is entered automatically include the Dominions in such -arrangements as these. ' This time no Dominion will be bound by Downing Street to take any part in the arran_gement un- less it expresses a desire to be in it. This is one of the fruits of the conference of Empire premiers last summer when there was some `plain talking on foreign relation- ships. and some frank criticism of the at- titude of France. It has been said before that there is no wild enthusiasm on the part of the British people as to the pro- posed agreement. A commentary on their attitude toward such matters in these days is said to -be furnished inthe view of Brit- ish mothers who feel that they do not care to raise sons to be sacriced for France and other countries as they were in the past war. Whether these who advance this opinion are correct in their analysis of the British mothers attitude in the mass. it is reasonably certain that a large nymber of women hold such` views.

Whatever may be the future the new world. and whichever nation _is be the star in its rmament, Britain is st the mainstay and prop of the old. Every nation but Turkey is to be invited to the economic conference. The probab- ilitia are that the Turks will worry less about -the gathering -and its decisions than any of the nationalities to be represented.` That in spite of the fact that decisions which willeect Turkey as profoundly as many other nations are likely to be reached. `the great conferences held since the Arm- gmany respects, though some good has -un- T world is'now- trying to get away from. It ` these words:>Tl1_e weakness of the whole _ during the armament conference was an illuminating There is 'a possibility that the third of istice will have more immediate and bene- cial iesults than either of the other two. The Peace Conference dragged its weary waythrougli the months while the exalt- ation of spirit that had ca-rried the allies to victory ebbed to nothingness. In the end the nations were content to accept patchwork compromises. The Washington armament or disarmament conference has not-lived up to its early promises because it, too, `lost the spiritual glow in which-it began. It has been a disappointment in doubtedly been accomplis`he(l. But the na- tions are to Ibuild-at least one or two great post-Jutland vessels. though some of their capital ships are tb be scrapped. The sub- marine is still to be a weapon of warfare. True, it was agreed that it should not he 1 used against merchantmen- But as the nations are to dene for themselves what. 21 merchantman is, the agreement on this point is of doubtful value. The Germans had. no difficulty in persuading themselves that the Lusitania was a war vessel. Re- cognizing, as one is bound to do in any study of world affairs. that hope would vanish if the Uriitecl States and the rest of the English-speaking world fell out, it is nevertheless true that the failure of the former to take -her real place is -primarily `responsible for the -bulk of the troubles the has been pibhily put.`by one reviewer in case is what it `has -been since the war end- ed---the unwillingness of the United States to assume a share in -world management equal to the frontage she occupies on the main street." ` The refusal of the United States to enter the League of Nations has handicapped that body from the start. It offers the best machinery yet devised for the attainment of -the ideals the United States professes to have at heart.` More and more the opinion of the thoughtful American is turning to the view that his country made a great Vmistake in staying out.

A year or so ago Bullock s younger brother got into an altercation with a white man over the sale of three apples. A race riot followed in which two white men were wounded. Bullock's bro- ther and another negro were" arrested and lodged in jail. A mob brokeiinto the jail and lynched both men with the attending atrocities that lynching affairs have come to-be associated with. Bullock himself fled the town and made his way to New York State. Thence he tried to cross into Can- ada, but not having the money required by the immigration laws was refused ad- mission. In March last he made his way into this country across the ice at Fort Erie. He got to Hamilton and worked there. maintaining himself in apparent re- spectability until a few weeks ago. when a demand for his extradition was received from Carolina. Having broken the immi- gration regulations he, was liable to deport- ation anyway. This has been_ ordered, but ; has been stayed a week on appeal to Wash- ~ ington. In the interim colored and white folks -. alike have subscribed to a defence fund and the press of the country has taken upthe man s case. His oence-~or at least the offence of leading a. race riot which is iteal States. The point for consideration is what guarantee is there that Norlina folks will not treat him as they treated his bro- ther and lynch him. He couldbe sent back to New York State as one who had broken our immigration laws, and that state and North C;arolina.could ght out the question of extradition.
