~ DAILY BRITISH WHIG. J A NEW FORCE EO EA FOR IRELAND E | To Aid the Constabulary-- Will 'Be Composed of Ex-Officers. London, Oct. 6.--It is tacitly ad- mitted by the authorities, says Major- Gen.

At the Orleans Labor Congress tha French trade union leaders gave | their answer to the fiat of Moscow. | Lenine, the Russian dictator, seeks | to dominate the world by the power {of an idea propagated through the Third Communist Internationale, a political orgahization represented in many European labor bodies. Le- nine's recognized leader in Frence is Marcil Cachin, who laid down at the Orleans Congress the conditions drawn up in Moscow. The tried leaders of French labor rejected the proposals because they were not a political party and did not wish to attempt an immediate violent revo- lution, the course advocated by the Bolsheviks of Russia, and finally they were 'Frenchmen before they were internationalists." In considering the attitude of the French toward Bolshevism it is well to remember the French revolution, when the people responded to the slogan, "Liberty, Equality, Fratern- ity." The horrors of that revolution are not likely to be forgotten while {the French language lasts. Bolshe- vism differs only in that it seeks to strike at the foundations of every civilized nation and create a world revolution the consequences of which (not even Lenine and his apostles can foresee. No subtler blow was ever aimed at the root of civilization than that contained in the Bolshevik doc- trifle which seeks to find response in Individual dissatisfaction with ex- sting condtions of life. In a country such as Russia, where the vast majority of the people are ignorant and the least advanced industrially and politically, it is no wonder that the artifices of the so- cialist fanatic succeeded in securing a sufficient following to enable him to seize the governing power. How that power is maintained and exer- cised 1s, however, quite another question. After three years it still remains a military dictatorship as complete and ruthless as that of the late czar, a condition that would fot be tolerated by the self-governing people of the advanced countries of the world. While there are nominal local governing bodies, they exist only by the grace of the central gov- ernment which holds unquestioned sway in national affairs. But its prestige has received a hard blow at the hands of the Poles in.the ab- hortive attempt to capture Warsaw. Latest advices from Paris predict that the Bolshevist rule will crumble before the end of the year. The action of the Orleans Congress is interesting as showing the deter- {mination of French workmen to be independent of Red control. By a vote of 1,478 to 602 the proposal to co-operate with the Moscow Inter- {nationale or active revolutionary | party was rejected. The majority. de- clared unreservedly that the "revolu- tionary objects are incompatible with present institutions and with capital and its politcal expressions." At the same time the improvement of the workers socially and industrially is urged by the spread of unionism, The "secret of French solidarity is that the country has gone through { 75,000 cars.

A New Doctrine, (Boston Transcript) The deacon of the colored church thought he would tip off the new par- son that he was using too many big | words, "Why, in you sermon, par- son", he said, "you used 'procrastin- ation' about six times an' no one heah knows what it means."

The automobile has vanquished the big red barn, as the cement bottomed centre of boyhood life has disappear- ed. Imagine the gang sneaking off from trusting parents on a hot after- noon and congregating in the shiny new garage. Where can they. conceal the forbidden weapon, or the thumb- marked yellowback that mother thinks has long since fallen into the | ash heap? Where do they hide to es- | cape the starched shirt and stiff | shoes and the party? Where are the circuses given? The train robberies planned? And the hair raising stor- ies repeated? The carefree scenes of boyhood are gone. Imagination has | no field to grow and expand in. Half | the joys of youth have vanished with | the passing of the old red barn. - Signs of Changing Times. (C. Reinold Noyes in Yale Review) The high cost of living in the pre- | sent situation has been the result of an actual disparity between the out- put of goods which the public buys for its own use and its enlarged pur- chasipg power. This shortage has been due to the diversion of econo- mic effort to war purposes, to the slackening in the efficiency of labor, and finally, and particularly since the end of the war, to the diversion of economic effort into supplying Eu- | rope with many billion dollars' worth of goods for which we have received nothing but I O U's in return, Our foreign trade has become very large- ly not a trade at all, but a pouring out of good's and a pouring in of promises. Promises are not good eat- ing, This lopsided export business has prolonged a shortage which grew out of the war, and it is only now, when these promises to pay are assuming less the character of currency and when our own: production is rapidly returning to normal channels, that the shortage is beginning to disap- pear. It is the first sign of the chang- ing times, % Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER PAPER CLOTHES. They're talking now of paper suits, and paper shirts and collars, and pa- per socks and paper boots -- great scheme to save the dollars! My pa- per rags seem good and right, while at my lyre I'm slaving; but there's no other gent in sight who is in- tent on saving. Men do not want the cheaper things, when they go blithely shopping; they'd like to wear the robes of kings, though bank accounts be popping. The jani- tor of this, our flat, says, like a lord blue-blooded, "I want to buy an er- mine hat and necktie diamond-stid- ded." And he would paw and beat his breast and cut an angry caper, if you in kindness should suggest a nice new suit of paper. The tinsmith wants imported cloth when he goés out for raiment; €or paper suits that cut a swath he'd never make a pay- ment. My paper pants look lather cheap, and they're a frost almighty, and often I'm inclined to weep when in my paper nightie; beneath my pa- per hat I wgite, beside the heaving billow, I save all day and sleep all night dpon a paper pillow. And I'm the only guy on earth who's cau- tious, saving, thrifty; my paper duds have little worth, but bank accounts are nifty. ~WALT MASON, Asquith's Irish "solution" hes raised. It is to be composed entirely of ex-officers with good war records, and its members will not he mixed with the Royal Irish Constabulary. This, says Gen. Maurice, "will pro- bably make for contentment and dis- { cipline, but these, after all, are minor matters. The question is, will it make for the restoration of law and order in Ireland? There must either be a settlement with Ireland or a reconquest of Ire- land. I still believe a settlement, which shall safeguard what is essen- tial to Great Britain, to be possible. "It is our first duty to give every possible facility for such a settle- ment, Murders and reprisals make a settlement daily more difficult. There- fore, the time has come to issue an ultimatum. Since the policemen cannot be left to be murdered, they should"be withdrawn from the dis- turbed districts; soldiers should be concentrated at the ports, and Irish- men should be given a reasonable but definite period within which to pro- duce a settlement, "If no settlement is reached, then the soldiers should be given orders and powers to disarm Ireland from end to end." CANADIANS PAYING OLD GERMAN DEBTS |Two Million Dollars Has Al- Been Sent From his Country. Ottawa, Oct. 6.--Two million dol- lars in good Canadian money has heen paid into the government and sent to German firms in payment of vealy, | pre-war debts of Canadians, mostly merchants. It is carrying out the | terms of the peace conference and forwarded clearing has been prescribed the - money through the houses. Certain difficulties in the adminis- tration of alien enemy properties have arisen between the state depart- ment here and the general clearing office in London, and an officer of the | over to | department is being sent straighten out the trouble. For one thing, it has been suggested that all | the govern-, communieations from ment to the central clearing 'ouse be through the Colonial Office, ~hich is objected to. Then the forms pre- pared in Canada are different from those in use in England, though none sent of ! were forwarded or notice their intended. preparation. There is also a difficulty through the British office computing Canadian claims in pounds rather than in dollars. It is expected that they will be adjusted. Victim of Pseudo Employer.
