When the govern- ment of Ontario agreed to submit the act' to the people a 'difference of opin- ion occurred as to the percentage of the voters which should be behind it. Mr. Ross suggested that the affirma- tives be sixtv per cent. of the whole. The prohibitionists would not have that. They would have nothing to do with a "loaded referendum." Time passed.

Prof. Adam Shortt of Queen's, was | the guest of the Canadian Club, on | Friday evening, at a special meeting, and delivered a remarkably clear ad- mainly devoted to the com- relations between Great Bri- tain and Germany and the United | States respectively. He concluded with a review of present conditions in this --eountry, which incluaed a con- sideration of the question as to whether there is a prospect of hard times visiting this quarter of 'the world, and a warning that the. only danger now visible in the situation is to be found in speculation. Prof. Shortt described Th¥detail and with great clearness and force the conditions in Germany and the United States, holding that Great Britain is in no danger whatever from the form- er until she has revolutionized her so- cial and political system, and has little to fear from the growth® of the United States, owing to the peculiar- ly close relations which are springing up between them. So close are these relations becoming, he remarked, that even were Great Britain to cease to Le a great manufacturing centre she could live as a capitalistic centre. In conclusion he asked the vill the present boom end? on the verge of hard times ? These usually come. in eyeles" of from nine to eleven The last period of dey came to its climax in 1803, and 1903 should by precedent be a particularly bad-year, with -the be- ginning of the due in 1599 and 1900. Germany, Russia, Belgium, ete., had answered "Here" when hard times called, but Great Britain, the United States and Canada had con- tinued to prosper. No crisis is in sight, and the building trades, ete. have orders booked for the whole of 1903. 'lL here ms, he said, quite a possibility of getting past the hard gimes period if onlv the speculators will give the industries a chance Speculation in stocks, lie pointed out. has necessary connection with in dividuals, and trade may be para gitimately when the countr in a sound condition.
