This country lhas a deficit at the present time getting oni `to nearly nineteeii million dollars on its im-arine and there is no chance `of `making iup the loss. It is proposed to keep some `37 vessels of the fleet and to dispose of '27 others. At the same time it is suggestedi that There should be a reduction of the capi-i ital charges now carried against the eet. This is merely a matter of bookkeeping. though it may nominally show that the ships to be retained are capable of earning `some part of their cost as was the case in lthe war time and for ashort while after- . wards. The vessels to be kept in commission !will owe their life to the necessity of giv- `ing the Canadian National Railways some sea cargo space of their own. When it} comes to selling theevessels which'it is` `thought should be so passed out of Gov-' |'ernment ownership,` the country will be! Wlucky to get anything like one-half of their} ivalue. It is more likely to approximatei [ about one-third. This was Britains exper- =._.. z.. ....n:.... gnrnn `A90 fm-mar German about one-tmm. nus was pmmu .~ c..,...-h ience in selling some 420 former German tvesnels. These ranged from'traw1ers to a; "fifty-one-thousand tdn vessel. All the maxi! `time nations on the Allied side in the war` built many ships under compulsion of cir- cumst-ances. and there is" no way out of the losses. At..th'e same time it is a strange licommentar,v on the situation that a number iof new ships` are being built in British yards and some in ouriown. Fashions in ,ships change. I HIE Iruuc nun: nu u-nu... It British political currents are seeminglyfb sweeping towards a real battle on an oldie gissue, namely, protection versus free trade. | V It will probably be more or less complicated 1 S `by the issue of a levy on capital raised by t the Labor party. Premier Bonar Law, who '1 is away for a month s sea voyage ,seeking, lcomplete restoration to health, has pledged his word that a tariff measure will not be brought before the House during the presentl parliament. but observers in Britain are rather inclined `to the view that present tendencies are towards a measure of tariff }` .re'form that will really put Britain on ail [protective-basis. Other commentators take l, the ground that t-here is no danger of Bri-l ltain reverting to protection, but that thei 'reaI" fight in the next few years will. be,` .waged between Capital and Labor. This in; spite of the fact that a number of the Labor leaders` are constantly urging moderation and -are not. in their speeches at any rate. R associating themselves with `the more radical ' [views of some men in the labor party. As" evidence of-the trend toward protection free traders` point, among other things, to the V roposed. duty of ten shillings per quarter (eight bushels) on malting barley, with a. T preference of one-third to the Dominions. --:1.-1 Vast Returns From Betting Tax Later estimates of the yield to the Brit- ish treasury of a tax on betting are one hun- dred million pounds as against the original figures of thirty million pounds. It is more than ever evident that a. tax is to be im- posed. The various laws involved are being examined by a committee of experts, whose interim `opinion is that there are 9. great ~ many difficulties in the way but none that" ..........+ he nwamnme- Even one-half of a tlaxtozi. difficulties in me way our. uuuc vuav cannot be overcome. Even hundred million pounds would be a. tre- mendous help to Britain in meeting its nancial obligations, It begins to look as if bettors and book-makers would soon be con- tributing much more generously to the `National treasury than in the past. Halting The Turks Turkey was brought to an abrupt halt in its attempted playing off of the'United States against Britain and France at the Lausanne conference. The French govern- ment has no intention whatever of allowing the Chester concessions to go through if they interfere with any rights -previously granted by Turkey to France. The latter country, at one time or another, also ad- vanced very large sums of money and is in- the -Turks want to pay in paper. The move of Turkish troops to the border of Syria, despatch of French reinforcements, accom- panied by a -blunt intimation to Turkey which in effect amounted to the statement, If you want a fight you can have it. If France had stood by Britain at the first Lausanne conference the present one would not have been necessary. But in this in- stance theunity of the Allies has healed a : lot of wountk left by misunderstandings and differences in the past few months.

The proposition is that thirty | billion gold marks should be accepted as liq- 3 uidating `the whole debt, but this is depend- l ent upon the raising of a huge loan. It is ob- lvious that a loan of such magnitude would have to be raised in allied countries or in the United States. One ofthese days Germanyl may realize the fol1y'of her course of eva- sion and insult. In the interim she is mak- - ing her own path as thorny as possible. ` TWO COLON ELS (Owen. Sound Sun-Times) There are few people here who would sym- pathize with C01, J. A. Currie if he had re- ceived a good threshing at the hands of Col. Carmichael invthe Legislature early on Friday morning. Col. Currie, to insinuate that he is a senior officer to C01. Carmi- chael, in fact to attempt to bring out any comparison between the two men, simply drew attention to the difference that exists in every way. (`AI (Yum-in urnnf nvprnna: in command Ofi in Col. Currie went overseas in command of the 15th battalion and went to France with that unit on February 8, 1915. He served with that unit until the battle of St. Jul- ien, when so many of his men were killed, wounded and taken prisoners. Col. Currie was not killed, wounded [nor a prisoner, but within a few days of that battle was in England, and within a few weeks more was back in Canada. -And he was relieved of or superseded in command of the 15th battalion.
