A succession of sen- sational political events in Britain during the past few days has thus reached one climax. Others will fol- low. Bonar-Law, who is a retired_ successful business man as well as a` figure in politics is a Canadian, Rex- ton, New Brunswick, being his birth place on Sept. 16, 1858. A few months ago he resigned the leader- shi of the House of Commons (to wh ch he was firstelected from Glas- gow in 1900) because of ill health. He was for a considerable `time a member of the Coalition Government. Lloyd George has been a prominent gure in British politics for many years, and Premier since December 1916. His resignation was the, dir- ect result of the action `of a meet- ing of `Conservative members bf the Coalition who by a vote of 186 to` 87 decided in favor of an appeal to` Thursday, October 26,`192_2` Cnmfort-Soap ind Penri White N-.a=,Lha oifer the best~-in quality, size nnd cleansing power-that V money can buy, In addition, you get ' splendid" Premiums for the wrappers.

At this distance the ` situation is confusing. But in a gen- 5 eral way it might be explained with the statement that the chief troubles of the Lloyd.` George government ,; came from within the ranks of its own supporters. The Coalition has i really become weak through its own strength, paradoxical as such a state- ment may seem. In theeg-eneral elec- tions of December 1918 it was re-_ turned to power on a wave of en- thusiasm that gave it a majority over all other elements of 249 in a House of Commons of 707 members. There have been a number of more or less internal troubles since, particularly among the die-hards, the `Conserv- ative elements which after the war were in favor of a return to the party Political Situation conkusea` _--.... ..,...4u..J- system/, and which have never thor-.. oughly trusted Lloyd "G4:-*.=-3'2.

Hm nnrhr v-nnlr: nnfsidn, whom among tnelr memuersnlp u1.un: nuuac or in the party ranks outside, whom they would hail as leader. None of the worries of the government, or at least no serious worries, have been due to the Liberal party which hardly seems _to have recovered from the slaughter it suffered in the last elec- tions. Nor has Labor been strong enough to make much of an impres- sion. -There` have been some by- elections in which both Liberal and_ `Labor candidates have won strik- _` ing successes, and `others in which the majorities of the winning government candidates have been `severely cut. But it is not possible to predict with assurance what these indicate as tol a general election. Developments. are` followings?) swiftly upon each other K hgalt comment upon them is impos- S) e. . - I Labor Looms Strong - Whether the Liberal party of Bri- tain is to emerge from its obscurity during the next elections is doubtful in the view of many old country cri- tics. Elections are un_certain, how- ever. The general view seems to be that Labor will give the government Iparty, or the Lloyd,George party,` its I greatest battle. Labor made the big- gest effort. of its history in the last ielections putting 362 candidates in the field and carrying 63 seats. The result was a disappointment to the party, but not to anyone who happen- ed to be an impartial observer in Britain at the time, for Lloyd George and, his government were irresistible , as a war winning combination. It `is the belief of Labor men in Britain `to-day that they can carry enough seats to hold the balance of power. There will have to be a better under- standing` between Liberals and La-` L bor if that is.to be done than there was at the last contest when each party. lost many seats through par- -ticipation in three-cornered contests. 1 All these speculations are, however, beside the mark. The silent.voter ' is as potent in Britain as in some ' other countries and his vote will do ' the work. The contest is likely to be 7 the most bitter one in generations, 1 and it is not likely that. 107 members of the Commons will be lucky enough : to get acclamations as was` the case 1]] Elle meal` mast. uuucu DU out: xuauy personal triumphs of his remarkable career.

It comes as a sur- S1 prise to most people, on this side of pl the water to learn that Australia is nc not only growing cotton successfully, ` ai but that these experts predict an pul-|m timate development which will mean ,si ,that the Commonwealth will also man- b1 ufacture from the raw material on a dc very large scale. In the interim U Australian ,-growers are assured that k: the mills of Lancashire can absorb all C lthe cotton that the Australians can air. igrow. Experiments of recent years ti have been so encouragingethat in theini state of Queensland alonesome sixty h thousand acres are under cultivation f( this season. That does not sound, much in comparison with the areas of cotton plantations in the Unitedl States, with the `crop in Egypt and India also. But it is a very gratify- ing thing for one of the Empire Do- minions to realize` that it can expect 9 to fulfil in a very large degree, the requirements of British cotton mills. It has always been a matter of re- gret to many ardent Imperialists that `the old land should be so dependent on the United States for the feeding of its cotton mills. The steady ad- vancement of cottongrowing in var- ,ied sections of the Empire will please these as well as others who do not give much thought to ideas of Im- perial Federation, but who from sent- imental and national reasons like toll think of an Empire whose own re- 5 sources would make her absolutely `self sustaining if need be. Looked at from a still larger angle British Empire cotton crops will, in the years 5 to come, he a factor of importance 1 in trade bargains. [ I st E Canada : Most Non-thlerly P.O. E l 1 Canada is establishing post offices 1 within 850 miles of the North Pole. 1 That is reaching a long way. Whalers 1 mostly and fur traders will benefit. ` A few years ago such an expansion 1 would ave been thought wonder- I ful and perhaps a bit theatrical. To- ! day theworld is smaller in the sense that the airship, following upon the advances in navigation. and explor- ation, is helping to annihilate dis- '1 tances. There is a realization too 4 that the north contains riches not - alone of the sea, but in mineralized ` land that will one day be blasted and 3 torn by -modern mining and engin- ; eering devices. Where wealth is, man has a way of conquering ob- stacles that his fellows of by-gone centuries deemed insuperable. There has been considerable activity in late years by successive Canadian gov- ernments in making sure that the sovereignty of this country over lands xnfthe north, is not to be open to question. The world is full of ex- amples ofapparentlyl` inhospitable ar- eas` being neglected .until wealth therein was discovered.

This official action and view oint may, however, be due `more to t e exigencies of the political ,situation than to conviction as to its being the absolutely right thing to do.` Henry Morgenthau, former United States ambassador to Tur- key, has been confirming to some Canadian audiences the growing sent-1 `iment among the people of the coun-' try he so ably represented, that it! must take a more practical part in` helping Europe to get back on its` feet" and to ensurerworld peace. I 1 I Q Motorless Airplanes I 4 British aviators have been demon-%] strating their ability as gliders, thati is in the operation of airplanes with- 4 out motors. Only a short time ago world's records were made by Ger- mans who` had been experimenting with this class of machine, one of' them staying in the air for vnearlyi 7 three hours by catching a succession} 1 of favorable air currents. A record: I of two hours has been made in Bri-{ . tain by Captain F. P. Raynham who` _ had previously made several good i flights. There are other develop- '_ ments pending in connection with the! _ British; experiments `to `which the : _ authorities attach the greatest im- _i portance. n - 3 I K The Rush-Bagot Treaty - E Canada has presented to the United! States her views as to a treaty to} replace the Rush-Bagot agreement re- garding warships on the Great Lakes. It is for the American government now to announce its intentions in the matter. If Washington desires it, a member of the Dominion govern-l ment will go there for further dis- cussion, but it is believed that all` that is necessary preparatory to the attachingof signatures could be ac- complished by correspondence. The British authorities have left the mat- . ter entirely in the hands of the Cana- dian government and the negotia- tions have been direct. The Rush- Bagot pact dates back to 1817, an aftermath of the war of 1812. It was proclaimed in 1818, a year after signature.

The desire to give naval training to men adjacent to inland waters is usually the excuse for those across the border who would not have any treaty, or who would discard the arrangement now in effect and which time has made obsolete anyway; The two countries ought to be able. to come to an amicable understanding. Neither of them has a `legitimate ex- cuse for building up fleets of armed vessels on the inland waters. Hon. James Murdoch, Minister of Labor,~ W. C. Coulter and Tom Moore are in Geneva . where they will be joined by Hon. Ernest Lapointe, to represent Canada at the Fourth In- ternational Labor Conference. It` is expected that this country will again be elected to the governing body of the Conference. Direct results from conferences of this nature are not World : Labor Conference readily seen; But they come in time so long as there is intelligent dis- cussion of the affairs with which they deal. Matters relative to immigra- tion and emigration have a large share of the agenda at the present conference.
