Carelessness in respect to furnaces. recklessnes< in the handling of matches and the throwing aside of still lighted cigar and cigarette stubs. all bring their toll in the wiping out of commercial buildings and houses. But there has also been an unusual num- ber of fires in institutions connected with - the Roman Catholic church. Most (le- plorable of -these was the conflagration history. romance, and faith, the Basilica of Quebec. This building was so inextric- ably interwoven in the development of this country that its loss is, in the nature of a national_ disaster. The burning of the Basilica has given zest to the rumors that a sinister `plot has for its chief attainment the destruction of all notable. Roman Catholic buildings in Can. ads.` .The assertion of such a charge is a cruel libel against Canada and against Canadians. Our people, regardless of their religious beliefs and political affiliations, are not in the habit of_ willfully and wan- tonly s destroying property belonging to others. The lesson of these tires is that extreme care should be taken in the guard. ing of old historic structures which often lack the modern devices designed as . ventatives, of fire. It is possible that in some instances firebugs have been set ag work; but it should be born in mind that such persons are mentally diseased and usually plan destruction regardless of who 4 owns, controls, or occupies buildings. a i _ Immigration Light This Year l Ottawa does not encourage the idea that there will be a heavy flow of immi- gration this way during the present year. Wait and See" would appear to he a good vmotto for Canada on this matter. Economic conditions at home are improv~ ing. but neither here nor abroad are they sufficiently robust to warrant the embark- lation upon an immigration scheme on a huge scale. What is done this year is; likely to he done. with care. and mm`: people will agree that there, cannot be too] much care in the matter. l _' From an obscure hiding place.

S i 5 France and Repara-tions I In France there is considerable qlllt rejoicing over what is described as 8 V1.0` tory won before the allied reparations cogn- mission in respect to German deliverl'_?5. of wood during -the year just closed. T_h15 triumph was in the nature of a declaratwll by the majority of the` Commission that Germany was voluntarily in default: ; France, Italy and Belgium voting together ,against Great Britain. In considering this [matter it must be remembered that part i [of "the [reparations consists of German) ldelivering certain quantities of raw mater- . ial to France in particular. The Germans . -admitted that they have delivered only six- _ ty per cent. of the required amount of - `wood. but claimed that they could not stlive more. The French contention is that - `Germany defaulted deliberately and should be dealt with accord ngly--in other .word9 9 .that penalties should be imposed. Britain 9. largument is that any. additional penalties}; {at this time will only add to the financial !.

Observers on the continent ,see in the turn of events a new develop- ?ment in the allied treatment of Germany. . Their view is that France has won I:al_v- to jher side and will also have the support of Belgium "in the conference of allied pre-3 .-miers from which so` much has been hoped ` ifor as` an inaugural event. of the present , year." - A f 1 1 I 1 c I Parliamentary Groups in Europe _..3__ L-, I, I L, uul vulloy WUI{l;.l1li.Vl:l % THEIR SlGNlFlCAN( De Valera Still THE BARRlE LEXAMINER` - WNgtional issues emerged along with the problems of` youth in the business that }1JU|IlClIlDn . ~ Th session was opened by Dr. Day, act- ing as Lieutenant.-Governor.

""l`he delicate task of governing India grows instead of lessening with the pass- ing years. It must be obvious. to all fair minded readers, however, that the. people are not yet ready` for real home rule. They will get that by degrees. But if India were left to herself now the anarchy prevailing there `within a. few months would undoubtedly be as bad as anything {that prevailed in ancient times. There `would also be a scramble amongst the pow- ers to get. concessions and territory that would `make conditions much, more chaotic than they ever were under British rule from its earliest times.
