DWARDS & EDWARDS ` m-nnln Si Tnpnnin II `nevus YC'II" ,' The na{n'e of the late Sir William Mac- Kenzie, who died at his Toronto home after a brief illness, will ever be associated with that of Sir Donald Mann, as the builder of the Canadian Northern Railwa,~y.v That- railway was later embodied in the Canadian National Railway System and is now an in- tegral part of the same. It was always the dream of Sir William, from early man- hood, to betknown as the builder ofa trans- continental line. While he succeeded in his ambition, circumstancw compelled him ' and.his associates torelinquish its control. a The taking over of the C.N.R. has never ceased to be a matterof discussion and dis- pute in -Canada, and this _is not the place to enter into it. Sir Will-iam was a strik- ing example of the young man who `has nothing to boast about of this world s goods, making name, fame and fortune in Canada, of which country he was a native. A corm- panionable and likeable `man with his friends, he was a hard fighter and a. clever financier in the business world.

In Australiathe Parliament has just passed a bill for the introduction of domestic servants from Britain, The Labor - `Party made a bitter fight against this pro- - posal, which has as its main points that servants must be"over eighteen years of age and must serve at least twelve months . of an apprenticeship at wages thesame as those of farm apprentices, the whole scheme to becarried out under strict government, supervision. The same measure also grants to every farm apprentice who has served a proper apprenticeship and who will take up land himself, the sum of 300 pounds, to be expen ed in the purchase of stock and plant. , t will always be a question of opinion as to whether such state-aided schemes of immigration are best." We have in our own country various forms of assis- tance to immigrants` and settlers on the part of some of the Provincial Governments as well asthe Dominion.

Fortunately for Italy, it has an energetic Premier and government, who will know how to take quick action to relieve the sufferings of others `who are threatened as a result of this catastrophe.
