Despite the conditions under which this country entered the League and the World Court there still remains in the minds of some European statesmen the erroneous idea that Great Britain is the spokes- man for the whole Empire. Several episodes during the last ses- sion brought this subject to the fore and in such a Way as to make the position of the Dominions abundantly clear. One of these had reference to the World Court when exception was taken by several European delegates to a British Dominion being separate- ly represented even if the question dealt with was of paramount import. ance to that Dominion. Such a contention is absolutely con- trary to the whole basis of Dominion inclusion in the League and the World Court and the British delegate, Sir Cecil Hurst, replied very forcibly with the statement that even if an English judge was on the court the Dominions would have the right of representation should it be cedling with a question which directly affected their interests. Neither Canada nor any of the self- governing Dominicns have ever recog- nized the right of the Motherland de- legates to vote or speak for them and the sooner this is clearly understood by all member states of the League the sooner will progress be made in matters affecting our interests. Canadians are heart and soul behind the general idea and ideals for the maintenance of world peace of the League but they will never be satis fied to take any position of inferiority in its councils or relegate their vital interests to any one but their national representatives. minum comes from Arkansas.

The perma- nent population of the capital is now about 8000 and it is expected that within 'three years the entire staffs of the various departments will have been transferred. Financing Was Difficult The financing of the new capital Is the most serious problem which has to be encountered, and owing to the strenuous period which Australia has passed through in the last two or three years, the difficulty of finding money which is essential to the de- velopment of Canberra has been very great. There are many who take the . view in an entirely uncompromising manner that every pound sgcat by the goverment upon Canoerra Is sheer 'waste. However, against this, there is a strongly growing body of publie opinion that some day Canberra will be the show place of Australia, Owing to the steady number of public servants which are being transferred form Melbourne the com- mission's responsibilities in regard to housing have greatly increased. No Private Enterprise As the result of a lack of support by private enterprise, the commission was compelled to assume the entire ibility: of providing residential accommodation and up to June 30, 1028, 723 houses had been erected. There have been many complaints re- garding the cost, both for purchase and rental of these houses, as enm- pared with the cost of similar "ruses in Melbourne. This, the commission explains, is due to the high cost of building in Canberra. The total capi tal value of the commissicn's houses is about $3,600,000. Those members of the public serv- fce and the general public who do not occupy houses, have to live in the commission-owned hotels and board- ing houses of which there are eight. Hotel Canberra, the leading residen- tial establishment in Canberra, cost $940,000 to erect. The commission has come to the conclusion that it would not be possible to make these places pay their way under any tariff obtainable, and it is likely that the commission will decide to cut its losses and let them to private enter- prises for whatever can he obtained Tunnel Inquiry Starts in Britain Commission Named to Consid- er Solely Economic Aspect of Channel Railway London--Edward Robert Peacock, a Canadalan ,who is also director of the British banking firm of Baring Broth- ers & Co. ,has heen appointed to pre- side over the long-promised official in- quiry into the question of a channel tunnel to connect England and France. Mr. Baldwin announced this in the House of Commons, adding that consideration of the military and poli- tical aspects pf the question is to be postponed until the economic side has been investigated and published. This avoids for the time further conflict of opinion upon the much dis puted potendy of tire mititary consid erations. If the committee decides that the scheme is economically impossible, then it falls to the ground apart from other considerations. If it Is de- clared feasible from this viewpoint then the military question can be re- considered. Other members of the committee ; of Inquiry are Lord Ebbisham .ex- 5 Lord Mayor of London; Sir Clement i Hindley ,ex-chief commissioner of the xd railways of India; Sir Frederick Lewis, chairman of Furness, Withy & Co., ship owners, and Sir Henry Stra- kosch, member of the financial com- mittee of the League of Nations. pent "Im very careful I always send my children out of the house before I quarrel with my husband."
