'7L_l'\'___ - - V .. .- I Position of Lloyd George [ British criticisms of Lloyd" George s tour-: of Canada and the United States have been! marked by some speculation as to his real purpose. Indeed. some of his critics, both in the press and on the platform have ac-I cured him of interfering in international; politics. and of arranging the tour with: the idea of indirectly influencing British! opinion. ' Whatever degree of cleverness` may be attributed to Lloyd George, he is not superman enough to have pre-arrangedf for such tremendous demonstrations as were `JD LB plla Ul_ L113 IJLALBLI LICLHICI D uuvv; tariff and preference proposals to encourage ' the production in the Overseas Dominions and Colonies, of. the raw niaterials that Britain must have. Cotton is one of thel most important of these. It has an added; importance at this time because of the pre-la diction of the United States Governmentl of a short crop in that country. Naturally,` there was violent iadvance in prices and! considerable excitement invthe cotton ex- changes. The great cotton industries of I Lancashire with Manchester as their pivot! will, therefore, be more than usually ni- terested in the proposals of Premier Bald- win. Of course, existing` British cotton projects in India and Egypt have not beenl lost sight of and have, indeed.-_made steady! progress. The acreage devoted to cotton in India will be largely increased when the Sukkur barrage is completed.` This will involve two bridgesta mileilong across the: River Indus and seven canals of goodlyi size with many branches, and other_tre- mendous works. It is estimated that some} six million acres of land now so arid as to} be almost a waste, will be perenially water-' ed. and a good deal of this will be devoted to cotton and grain. Great irrigation pro- iects for cotton growing lands are under way in the Soudan also. One Manchester expert has declared that with proper atten-. tion the British Empire could, in five years,l grow all the cotton it requires. ` ll \nJ |}`JL41vL L \.ILIvA.), Alb`)- Eeznple Building, Barrie iv 'rn IHAN Cotton Growing in Enipire I ' It is part of, the British Premier's new} fen-N' ant` nrn`t.'u-nnnn nrnrnneula fn nnnnill-non} THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1923, rm: BALI; PLANING MILL co..

Not!` '50 very long ago Britain was all alone, with If France and Belgium most strongly opposed ' ` to any but their own principles in dealing.` [with "Germany. where another l'8V0llltl0Ilt lprovokes another crisis, while Italy waef lapparently neutral. Now, Italy and Bel-i gium are in accord with the United States and Britain in favor of, an unrestricted in-1 lquiry into Germany s ability to pay. Britishl I `diplomacy is often charged with painfulie : blunders p and lack - of decisiveness. It isj c isurprising how often it wins out in the|z {long run. She hasasteadily gained prestigegl and good-will during a trying period init which for months her ttitude has been mis- 1 `represented in the rench press. and by! laecorded him wherever he visited. on the} jAmerican Continent. It is significant, how-| lever, that British political parties waited }withVkeenest' interestfor his return to the Old Land; where on landing he was greeted {with honor anckacclaim, in order that -theyi irnight know what his stand`is to be on the , lissues raised by Premier Baldwin s protec- ltive tariff and- the Imperial preference pro- gposals. Already there is a remarkable cleav- . age among British politicians. Former Pre- mier Asquith is bitterly opposing the pro- itection propositions. Winston Churchill alsoi | [is out with a declaration in support of free U 'trade. and w7ll. it is expected. be a candi- date in one of the divisions of Manchester where -the British Free Trade policy has lbeen an object of worship almost, for gen- leration`.=. . It is not improbable that Mr. | Lloyd Georze has hadetime in his short tour. 'of America to gain some new impressio ` `and new figures on trade matters. T e, ,opin`on in Britain ii that an election will' lbe held early in t-he new year. It is obvious ]that it will line up the countryin-to two `main camps with protection and. free trade I! as the chief issue. _ . 4 ` [RE enters oftenest through the roof! `Embers alighting on your roof from surprising distances may start a re which will destroy your home.

THE BARR-IE EXAMINER Jugo-Slavia recently followed the example of Italy 'n ignoring the League of Nations, when ma ing demands upon another "coun- try for satisfaction for assault upon a.repre- __sentative from its own. In this case, Bul- garia wasthe offending country. Jugo- Slavia puts itself in a somewhat delicate Dosition in demanding and exacting satis- faction without a reference to the League, because it is appealing to that body to ad- judicate the claims of itself and Italy in respect to Fiume and other border points. There is much, powder lying around loose in Europe, and" the hasty_act'ions of a num- ber of nationalities which have reached larger proportions as the result of the peace treaty and the aid of the great powers is lidble to explode some of. it. A speedy aet- tlement of a `number of disputed points wouldgbe of imme _nse_ benefit at this time,_ but many of these disputes cannot get the attention they deserve until the major ques- tion of German reparations is out of the; $AV -. `drilling of a number of wells in thegdistricti by large companies is reported as meetingi wit-h gratifying success. A_t the same time a big oil gusher has been struck in Kent County, Ontario, and the [opening up of` a new field is promised there. Britain has gone fa; afield for her oil, and has been the subject of allegations that her only in- terest in Mesopotamia wason that account. Large supplies of oil in Canada would be a tremendous asset for the Dominionitself land for the Empire at large. _.,-.g- ..--rr-..-mg- ... _.---_- There are strange happenings in Greece where the King is now represented as being virtually a prisoner in his palace at Athens. lSome leading men of the country have gone lso far as to sound the Britis'h Government Ion the question of establishing a republic, ;though. of course, such inquiries were made lonly\ in an unofficial manner. through the lBritish representative in Athens. Natural lly, Britain has advised against any further revolutionary movements in a country al- ready in a sad state, and whose energies should be devoted to rehabilitation rather than to creafpg more turmoil. Former Premier Venizelos of Greece, one of the foremost of European statesmen, and now residen-t in London, urges his people not to A make any changes in Government by violent means. He suggests a plebiscite on the question. while at the same time expressing `doubt as to whether the majority of Greeks [favor a republic. l Republicans Still Winning A number of elections in the United States which were closely watched in the hope that they might give an indication of the Presidential elections of next year, did not make any radical changes in the stand- ing of the parties. A Republican candidate who `had the backing of the Anti-Saloon League was elected to the Federal Senate for the State of Vermont, 8. bye-election there for the House of Representatives also resulted in the return of a candidate of the same po'1itical persuasion. The State which greturns President Coolidge therefore remains true to its allegiance. Generally speaking. the Republicans will have a small majority in both the House and the Senate in their next session. To peoples in British coun- tries the United States system of govern- ment and its elections are cumbersome and incongruous. But it is all a matter of_ get- ting used to it, and they probably work out as well as the systems of most other coun- tries. \ """""'* I - .._-. vvv - ... u . ._...-.--vu - vuv . . Reaction against prohibition manifested in British Columbia and Manitoba found an echo in the `Province of Alberta where, as readers know, government sale of liquor was strongly approved after seven years of prohibition. This comes as the result-- of the one`fair way of making change, namely. a vote of the people. A democracy may sometimes be wrong, but on the whole the will of the `people governs `and there is no more complete democracy than that which lexistsin Canada, althoug-hvit is part of an I empire which owns allegiance to 9. mon- archy. A referendum on the liquor ques- tion willprobably be held in Ontario before another year passes, and probably also in Saskatchewan.
