OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1922 PAGE NINE WORLD EVENTS: THEIR SIGNIFICANCE. o "William Banks. If she has to do it alone--that is without the aid of her European al- lies--Britain will keep the Turks from control of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmora and the Bosphorus, She would not have to call twice for help from the overseas Dominions, however, That has already bee dem- onstrated nowithstanding the hope of those Dominions that the difficul- ties will he settled amicably and that they will not have to take part in a new war, Having made good their claim to status as nations and sign- ed various treaties and agreements as such, the Dominions are in honor bound to assume some part of the responsibilities they committed them selves to~in the opinion of the ma- gJority. who have studied these points. Nothing would be done without the consent of the various Parliaments, however, That is the recognized pro- cedure, and every separated country should have a right te deliberate on the action it proposes to take, and to voice its opinions through its par- liamentary representatives. Earlier in the crisis it appeared for a few days as if there had been a hurry up call to the Dominions for aid, and waves of excitement swept over the British Empire. Subsequent exchang- es showed that the British Govern- ment had informed the Empire Gov- ernments of its intentions, and had invited co-operation. What form this should take would naturally de- pend upon military developments. The Canadian Government held daily meetings so long as such seemed to be necessary and remains in close touch with Britain. However, the arrangement between France and Bri tain to call a conference at which Turkey shall be represented has re- lieved the situation somewhat, the measure. He is emphati¢ in his stand too, It has been estimated that the bonus would ultimately have cost the country hetween four and five billions of dollars. As fi- anally agreed upon in Congress the proposal would have given the aver- age United States soldier about the same allowance that Canadian sol diers received at demobilization. LJ - L The Kaiser Will Marry Despite "denials it is reasserted that the former Kaiser of Germany is to wed on November 5--Guy Fawkes' day. A princess of Germany is to he the bride of the war lord who was ambitious to force his will upon Kurope and a good deal more of the world besides and who is now a broken exile. While all the world was at times apprehensively interest- od in his doings in the days when he ruled the German Empire, its inter- est is now not mixed with fear. It believes that the day has gone hy when Germany would receive him with open arms and follow him on another war either of revenge or con- quest, * * Ll] Safe Guard Livestock Sir A. Griffith-Boscawen, British Minister of Agriculture has been ad- viging the British farmers to accept the verdict of Parliament admitting live Canadian cattle, At the same time he suggested that they should wess for such regulations as should | safeguard both the health and parity | of their own live stock. While these regulations should not he such as would prevent trade, it was possible that arrangements could be made whereby no serious injury to British live stock would be done. The view * * - French--Turk Agre Britain's firm stand st the proposals of the Turkish Nationalists, who are excited because of their vic- tory over the Greeks, has not been received with sympathy in France or Italy. The former does not like the idea of Greece being in a position to make headway again, and besides | she has an agreement of an economic nature with the Turk Nationalists. Nor is she particularly friendly to the "Little. Entente" whose co-operation | and support is encouraged hy Britain. Nor does Italy like the idea of Jugo- Slavia and the other members of the "Little Entente" playing a part in a game *which might put a check to some of her own hopes. The very boldness of Britain's course in send- ing reinforcements of troops and ships to the scene of possible con- flict has on the other hand blown away many of the clouds of vacilla- tion, and put an end to the policy of drift which was only leading to more entanglements and misunderstand- ings. For the sake of the Moslem | countries which Britain rules or pro tects, she had to show a firm hand or run the risk of 'uprisings and disor- ders that would have added to the chaos. For her own self-respect she was bound to make the Turks understand that there was a limit of insult, de- mands, murder and rapine, for at least one Christian power. The ma- terial issues at stake are many for Britain; the spiritual has not alto- gether been lost sight of. * *® * Soon Destroyed Symrna As matters now stand Britain has probably a strong enough force there to keep the Dardanelles secure and to prevent any other menacing move against her interests for some time. If Kemal Pasha and the Turk Nationalists he leads are bent on a real campaign, Britain will need help. It is probable that in spite of their present cold attitude, naither France nor Italy would refuse aid should they come to the conclusion that their interests demand it. Meanwhile Britain is going ahead as if they did not count much, which is perhaps the best method to pursue under the circumstances. There bas been too much lost in trying to reconcile the the conflicting ambitions of the powers. One result has been that the Turk thinks he can continue to play them to his own advantage and wipe out the Christian nations under his sway in the meantime. It did not take him long to destroy Symirna by fire, with a property loss of There is said to have been sixty mil- lion dollars of insurance mostly on foreign property, longing to Americans. The brunt of the loss will fall on the British underwriting companies. The fire left thousands of people homeless. Many of these have been taken away by foreign ships, others are living in the surrounding country and the Turks have killed a good many. It is not improbable that the powers will make another compromise with the Turks so far as Thrace and other! territories formerly mandated to the Greeks are concerned. But Britain will insist and undoubtedly carry her point of keeping open the straits of the Dardanelles and the Bos- phorus, and maintaining most of the neutral zone areas intact. Some such solution would prevent a new war * * * President Vetoes Bonus (in Britain that Canadian millions. | including some be-| cattle are subject to disease to a greater extent than the old country stock dies hard.

This was due more to the secrecy with which the transaction was conducted than to anything else. In any event the mark is low enough; an ever present reminder to Germany of the cost of war. It is probable that the arrange-! ment means that the governors of the Bank of England are satisfied of the ultimate recovery of Germany in spite of the present black outlook. The view that assistance given now might lead to additional trade of a mutually beneficial nature may also have been one of the reasons for the trax tions. It's a queer state of affairs in which one country horrows from a former entente ally to pay claims to another entente ally. * * *® Dictatorship in Bulgaria It is said that peasant dictatorship is now an accomplished fact in Bul garia. There have been some lively political events in that country which while they might not seem to be of size enough to class under big world events, nevertheless have an influ- ence in the Balkans, and it is there that the eyes of Europe are turned it the present time. Recently opposi tion parties in Bulgaria had planned a great demonstration against the government. ' Bands of peasants stop- ped the trains and ejected the would be demonstrators, giving them to un- derstand that the government of their choosing is the one that is to stay in power. This same government, how- ever, is reported to be massing troops with an eye to snatching something out of the frying pan under which the Turks have built a fire.

[Tw I I'll Show You Get "the Cream of the Trade "What lovely styles! How do you manage to get all these, delightful novelties?" said the new customer as she looked around her. "I got tired of seeing my customers boarding the trains to buy elsewhere, just because I didn't have some novelty that was being advertised." "Whenever a new style makes a decided hit, the whole- saler or manufacturer's salesman calls me on Long Distance, and tells me about it, and I order a few."

They leave me no excuse at all for going up to town to buy."
