The author} ities have now officially stated that the pro-`i hibitory laws are in effect in Constantinople` and everywhere else where the Turk rules, andthnt alcoholic beverages must not be sold or imbibed by Turks. Severe penalties it is announced, will be imposed for all in- fracions of this order. As the country is being ruled by a military body in effect, -t-hough nominally by a responsible go,vern- ment, it is more than likely that prohibition will have a fairer show than in some other landswhere responsible government is; boast- !*d of. In Britain where the prohibition question comes up at more or less regular; intervals, but wi h more persistency as time passes it has been dl.i~(`.ll&*`8d by thc'In-U u nu av `dependent labor Party.

' Lord Cecil on the League Lord Robert" Cecil, the foremost British exponent of the League of Nations, is mak ing a short` tour of the United States and Canada. beginning with"-the former country, in support of the cause. Cecil. who is a tall, rather ungainly man; careless of dress, `has plenty of brains. He has all along had a sane if somewhat broader view than many critics of the abilities and purposes of the League. A little while ago he rather astonished those who approve his view by affirming that one of the questions that bother the statesmen of Europe. should not be submitted to the League. His- point was that it was a matter for adjudication -by the parties affected themselves with the aid of the Council of Ambassadors or some other body, but not the League. In other-`words, he-sought to impress the view that he does not consider the League capable of dealing with and settling every dispute that may arise.

The corpmutation of sentence of death on one of the eminent Roman Catholic priests for alleged offences -against the state, to a term of ten years imprisonment. has been followed by" the execution of another--a lvicar general. The Moscow papers in a few lines announce that he was executed by a firing squad. Semi-official despatches \paint the heads of the Russian government `as being in a fine rage -because Britain and several of the other nations pleaded for cle- mency. In the Eastervcelebrations some Russian churches were used as theatres by various organizations and others were dese- crated in different fashion. One town gov~ A ernment boasts that it executed a number of people who belonged to the aristocracy be- cause they criticised the manner in which the country was governed. The idea that all the people in a country can be made to think alike and live alike by means of ter- rorism was exploded long ago.

It is likely to remain so. Not a single one of them has shown theidetermina tion of the British in the matter of meeting financial `obligations. Ruthless, cutting of expenses of government was in the main ,responsible for the good showing. There is some uneasiness in Britain over decreased expenditures on the army and navy, more I French are making to be rparamountin the air. It is obvious, `however, that Britain cannot at the same time increase her mil- litary expenditures, or maintain them at ltheir 'recent high standing; and pay off i the debt.

But -it would not be out of place for her to send a follow-up` of A the note addressed to her allies of Europe some months ago, to re- mind them that expenditures on war-like preparations might better -be diverted to re- ducing their obligations to her.

Walkerton 'l`elescope-We notice in our exchanges that a good many merchants throughout the province are announcing the cash system. Chain stores and others have proven that it can `be done and more- over :he cash stores are getting the cream of the trade and are able to undersell `their competitors. It stands to reason that mer- chants cannot pay for goods within thirty days, as they have to do these times, and then give their customers unlimited credit without charging a longer price than would be necessary if they were buying and sell- ing on the same basis. A Walkerton gro- cer announces in his advertisement this week that he is going to give his customers only the same measure of credit as is meted out -to him by the wholesalers. "He is buying for cash and in no case more than thirty\ days and `he is limiting his customers to the! same terms, promising them closer prices under the new cash" arrangement; Next to absolutely spot cash, which would be harder to enforce, our friend s scheme ap- pears to be a good one.
