A HAMILTON W South Afr-icaVn`_Eleci':ion.s `While not unexpected, the defeat of the South -African government by the combined National and Labor parties was a mattervof concern to. those who have hoped for peace in` that country and throughout the Empire generally. Premier -General Smuts himself was defeated in Pretoria West and sever; al other cabinet. ministers also lost their seats. The Premier occupies? a unique position- in world politics, _but is not so well thought of in many sec- tions of his own country as in Britain and elsewhere in the Empire. That is largely because he has had many very delicate problems to. deal vwith. in `the effect of consolidating the elements which he has. displayed a steadfast l_oyalty to Britain and British institu- tions and has onoccasion ruthlessly put down disturbances led and fostered` by men whose main aim in life is ,to ' break connection with -Britain. The Nationalist and Labor parties are al- leged to have made a pact whereby the former agreed not to push its program for separation from Britain for at least five years, and then to take actiononly| on vote of the people. Such promises; usually haverno weight after elections. when parties move along the lines} which seem to them to be politically the most advantageous. It does not follow that the South African Union is to immediately separate from Bri- tain. The election results can only-be taken as a temporary victory for re-I action, and. as Gen. Smuts' party haaf still 'the largest group, `should have in the Union that are for the retention of British connection. Secret Treaty With Russia This is an age orfsecret treaties and arrangements in spite-of the open dip- lomacy" which the Peace Treaty was supposed to `inaugurate. - It is` now stated that Japan and Russia have` made a treaty whereby the former is to supply heavy artillery, war`-ships and other armaments to the `latter in return for vast oil concessions in Rus- sian territor,v.-_ This would make Ja- pan independent so far as her oil re-I quirements are concerned of America nr nnv nthnv nnwar. Other matters An extraordinary report from Paris is to the effect that Premier Herriot will propose to Britain `that the latter guarantee German payment of repar- ations to France in place of giving a pledge of military assistance -in the event of renewed German aggression. It is to be hoped that this has no basis in fact. France is making no effort whatever to pay her war . debts to Britain, the one nation in the Old` World that has faced the task of meet- ing her obligations 'with_ courage and frankness. Just the other `day Britain paid sixty-five million dollars in cash as an interest instalment on, her debt to the United States. . To ask her to assume the entire _responsibility for the Germandebt would be to invite not only a- refusal but one accompanied ' e by the suggestion that France shou]lgi- begin its duty of debt paying and ta less. One would rather hopethat ini the conferences between Premiers MacDonald and I-Ierriot grounds -for harmonious action by Britain and France will be found and pursued to the advantage of `both. ` . ..,_j_ Britain to Guarantee Payment? . . quu'>-:menLa tuft! uuuuuruuu UL Jsuxcruza or any other power.

V _ Ivlwztlvu vunupouvuuuvuw Complications between Britain and Mexico cause additional axiety because the former is about the only country . of consequence which has not recog- nized the Mexicangovernment headed by General -Obregon. There has not been a British Ambassador to Mexico for some time owing tovthe points still at issue between the two. 411 the trouble of the last few months, which recently came to a head, involved Her- bert C. Cummins in charge of British affairs. The Mexican government Vmade complaints about 'him to Bri- tain and asked that he be immediately recalled. -To this Britain did not agree holding that the allegations did not form sufficient ground for such action. An order of expulsion from Mexi dwas deeply resented in London an A remier | MacDonaldand his colleagu s had un- ' der consideration the cancelling of the Emission` of Sir Thomas, Hohler, who 1 will go to the republic with a view to paving theway for complete resump- the two countries. tion of diplomatic relations between . White Indians in Panama "Explorers returning to the United State with two or three` blue-eyed, .golden haired and white skinned In- |,dians from the wilderness of Eastern I Panama, are giving another proof that '.many stories which used to be regard- led as the myths of uninformed wan- derers. are based on facts. The expe- dition leaders are quoted as saying that they have discovered many prim- itive types of white Indians whose territory has been kept clear of the civilized white men since the time of the Spaish conquerors at least, and perhaps before. The whole scientific world_ will be interested in the"fu1ler details of these discoveries` which will no` doubt shed much new light on the l history of the human race. Apparent- ly there is a very rich field for the ex- plorer and investigator in the South American `zone. In Africa also new discoveries have been.made of an an- cient civilization, but nothing has been found to equal in interest the white races discovered to the South of us. 1 vuuuu vs -xw It would be a strange thing indeed if Canada was to accept as definite the contention that Parliament had no power over the Civil Service Commis- sion. I! it is admitted that the gov- ernment has not--iih authority to in- terfere with the rulings ot the Com- mission, it would not appear that the government is, or has been at any time, debarred from taking Parliament into its confidence and showing that the elected representatives of the people are supreme. A widely spread long continued strike of the postal employ- ees of this country would really be a. disaster to business which is recover- ing after a long struggle. There is a grave responsibility attaching to all whose action led to the present strike. The weakness of our machinery for avertin such calamities in connection with pu lic utilities is also revealed.' . Communist Congress One thousand delegates representing over `sixty countries are in attendance at the Congress of the third Interna- tionale held _in Moscow. Canada. and Great. Britain are included in this rep- resentation at a conference which is concerned with the prosperity and the spread of Communism throughout the world- Whether we like it or not we must face the fact that Communism has a strong hold- in many countries where it was scoffed at a few years ago; in other words that the activities of the-Reds is a thing that must be reckoned with even in the most civil- ized of countries. Communism itself shows that it_ has some fears of contra action in its decision that plans must be found to combat fascismo, of which, the `Italian Fascisti is an outstanding example. In Italy the Fascisti handled` communism with ruthless determina-I tion and probably saved the country; from a terrible revolution. Signs are_ not wanting. however, that there is a. reaction against the Fascisti which unruly members of thatorganization have helped to hasten. The recent murder of a member of Parliament is laid at the=door of one of.Premi`er..'- Mussolinfs ministers whose `public record was under fire, and other grave charges against the Fascisti and its uynrlzincrn are: being` made. cnarges against. um rum workings are being made. Slmcoo orner Toronto entral Church 67 ' Monument to Loyalists . _ `-A significant feature of the one hun- dred and fortieth anniversary of the landing of the United Empire Loyalists in the Bay of Quinte district, was the decisionto erect at Be1l_e_vi1le a mon-V ument to the Loyalists who came to the district not to continue war. but to help in the making of a new country. Canada is rich in``the quiet heroism of the men and Women who in forest, land and prairie made homes for. themselves and `entered upon the practice of the arts of peace in the face of many hard- ships, dangers and difficulties. Much precious mategial bearing upon the deeds and accomplishments of. the pioneers has been lost or destroyed, becagse its significance was not appre- n of`: ~' - UUUGJ-I5! ciated. ' Right of Reply in" Press \ The newspaper world of France is agitated over a recent decision by the courts which gives the right of reply to persons who are criticized in the columns of the press. A case arose over a criticism of the translation of some ancient verses. The translators being refused space in the newspaper to answer the criticism took their case to court and-won. They also won in the appeal which may, however, be carried to other courts. , The_argu-. ments of the newspapers is that proper criticism of theatrical performances. _ works of art. books. and the like would be impossible it .the people who felt that their {work was unkindly treated should have the right to answer through the paper publishing the cri.t-I `icism. In that event they say all their space would be occupied by ex- planations and defences tothe exclu- sion of. news items. In other words, that owners and editors of newspapers would have no control over them un- less, to be on the safe side, they merely mentioned that such and such a work had been published or exhibited,` and caretully . avoid any criticism.

I I Canada at Power Conference Canada will be well represented at the first w`orld s.Npower conference to be held in` London from June 30 to July 14. Power "in this instance means electrical power or power for indus; trial and domestic purposes developed by some other method. Hydroelectric- al development in Canada during the past few years gives this country a very important standing when . such matters are under discussion any- where. `Advanced as Canada is in this respect. in comparison to some other countries, she haststill wonderful pos- sibilities in the development of elec- tricalpower from her great waterways. Properly handled there is no reason why this country, with its own `coal supplies and its great water powers, should not `be absolutely independent of all other countries for light, heat and power. vvvulu up--u-v- -----.-..
