D8 I EDWARDS St. Toronto. . R. Edwordl, B.A.&.' British Coal ` [Strike Threatened The British Government is likely to undertake early action in the hope of pre- venting a big strike in the coal .f_i'elds. In "spite of unemployment G problems British -trade shows a steady improvement which would suffer .a severe check should the ' ' miners abandon work. A few years ago Smillie, the miners leader at the time, backed by many other labor men, put up _ a big campaign for Government ownership or control of the mines. It is improbable that the Labor party could force such a measure through at this time, but it will` be interesting to see to what extent the Government is able to meet the situation. _ 7 . , A_ $|Z,776 ACTION . Sitting in Supreme, Court on March 18 His Honor Judge Vance reserved judgment in n m_echanic s lien action from Midland in which Wm. Birmingham, a Kingston contractor, was plaintiff and J. A. Tro- lmanhauser, a Toronto `contractor, and the Aberdeen Elevator Co. Ltd}, of `Midland, were defendants. The amount involved is 812.776, which the `plaintiff alleges is due him from the` defendant. Tromanhausar and which he asked to secure by way of lien on the property of the elevator com- pany. A great part of the day was taken up with argument of -counsel. `F. W. Grant. Midland, appeared for the plaintiff, T W. Finlayson, Midland, represented the dc.-_l fendant company and the defendant, Tro- manhauser, was represented by Wm.

I19- `:83 of I Fortunately the paciiists are not such a dominant factor in the British Commons as ' soxneactions and speeches might lead out- siders to suppose. A motion to `reduce . the British army by 150,000 men, its pre-V sent: str_~e`ngt`h, and. which motion was tan- tamount to,abolition oi the army. was de- feated by a `majority of 334., Only thir- teen votes were given for it. Premier Mac- . Donald `took occasion to say that the army! would not be further reduced unless other countries were ready to agree on a general` plan of military reduction. In the interim it would be kept up to the state of effi- ciency and high standard of ,personnel which now marks it. and.; if events war- lranted suchpa step, would be increased. The efficiency and quality of the Origin- als" was amply `demonstrated in` 19l4.' 'With .a `world in arms some people would like to see Britain even `less ready for war than she was then. A report that on April 10 the Canadiani National Railways will file a tariff showin material reductions on freight rates for a Eastem` lines is good news. Coming at atime when the trade returns show a steady `increase and a steady gain of exports over imports this report indicates -a. belief `in official circles that trade is to expand` still more rapidly.. For the twelve months ending" with February 29th, Canada's ex- `ports totalled $1,029_.263.88l and the bal- lance of exports over imports was $130.- 924.965; There is nothing much to_ worry labour over that condition. Having decided against proposed .naval base at Singapore the British government lost little time in aci_ng'the issue in the House, where the question will be under consideration in `various stages connected with naval affairs. The MacDonald cab- inet has the support of Liberals and Labor men _in itsdecision, but a number of these i oppose it onanother naval issue, namely, the building of five new cruisers and some destroyers, while the Conservatives approve of the new ships. This playing of the left against the right, so to speak; gives Labor a chance to hold power thoughin the min- 3 I ority. One might wish that Premier Mac- lDonald's reasons for abandoning the plan` were less altruistic. _are in the na tureiof what has come to be called a "'ges- A ture." in the direction of universal dis- armament. In theory this is a beautiful ideal.` If Mr. MacDonald could point to any other country that is living up to it-most neople in Britain would feel more comfortable. All -the `Dominions were con- sulted about Singapore. Canada declined to. give advice, South Africa favored drop- ping it, Australia, New Zealand and New- foundland favored it. This division of opin- ion among the Dorninions is in away natur- al--the ones most directly interested would of course be for it, and the others might be expected to be apathetic. The whole question of defence is one that is likely to the made a paramount issue before long to the discomfort of the government. -.-- .._----, |_ The thoroughness with which. Beritishl `people set about investigations is illustrat-` ed in that which was conducted into rheu- lmatism and its effect on industry. It was `instigated as` a result of the large amounts of unemployment and fraternal insurance V paid to workers suffering from rheumatic diseases. Approximately ten million dol- lars is paid yearly on such claims to nearly one hundred thousand people whose aggre- igate loss of time from work is three million weeks. The committee making the investi- gation believes that propenhousing. greater attention to the elimination of dental sep- sia`--.or to put. it in another way. better care of the teeth-`-and closer attention to diet and mast-ication`would largely obviate . rheumatic diseasesI' Greece Banishes King Greece has once` more said goorlby-e to Al its monarchy.` Time only can showwhe- rther this is atemporary or permanent fare- well. King George Wil1..be` allowed to re-' `tain his title and will also receive a gen- erous income, -butvhe must stay outside of Greece. .There is no indication, however. that these decisions mean reformation in the country. Venizelos, the greatest stat-es-) man modern Greece has known. has been compelle'd~by ill-health to abandon the task of bringing chaos into order. Only a strong irovernment assured with several yehrs .of office could do that. .All well- wishers will hope that Greecewillg secure such a government. ` - a Accidents to.Prince of Wales The riding mishaps of the Prince of Wales have given opportunity to a good many jokesmiths, especially those who know little about riding and hunting to exercise theirwit. Considering the num- ber of times that he participates in steeple- `chasing and cross-country events the per- centage of falls and throws the Prince sus- tains are comparatively few. Were it not for his rank and fameimost of them would never be mentioned in the press. A great many -British papers take the matter ser- iously, however. and are urgingithe Prince to abandon a good deal of the more excit- imz formsof `riding, because of his popular- ity 'in the Empire, and the more exalted position 7to which, .in the ordinary course of `events, he will be called, There is a strong. revival in France in ful society organized in Paris and with branches everywhere, is pushing the pro- ject..
