war and war preparations the expenses of government would be met every where without permanent indebted ness A large percentage of all bor rowings tends to become war debt because the army and navy

HYDRO It may be rue that treaties and agreements in the past have some- limes failed especially where dir ected by I lie military It may bo hat war is sometimes inevitable bough seldom when effort is put forth to make war a last not a first resort No nation as yet has re fused to accept at least a degree of arbitration This means of settling disputes has a tendency to clinch and hold public opinion and public opinion ultimately predominates War is only a manmade condition a coarse brutal and blundering way of settling dispues way peace lies through peace and the way to peace is through disarma ment and arbitration No civilized nation real reason to provoke aiiother nation to war There is nothing to gain in war and all to lose every quarter of the globe there is a group which desires war but this war party would be in a pitiful minority ils hatreds its suspicions and ils ambitions ridiculous if it wore disregarded rather than upheld by the powerful influences of tra ditional militarism That Ibis war should sink into the back- 1 ground and I he peaceloving body advance to the foreground is very evident The civilized world is be coming intellectual and a moral unit The

influence should be hopeful and wholesome the strong must then be peace with By co operation men can best secure the chief benefits that a country can give without danger of the sacri fice of heir own honour or their own culture and education every dollar spent in arm ament strengthens the financial in terest in war because it gives more volume to war and war tulle it Is clear hat the armaments of the world- constitute in each of Iho armored countries the chief danger Armament such as we know to exist at the present lime is far from being a perfect national defence The true defence of a nation worth defend ing must find root in the intelli gence and alertness of its people this are the increasing powers of internal ionalism the lies of common thoughts and aspirations and most immediately the innumer able bonds woven by trade and by common interests of business small as well as great Many words in the English voca bulary express many shades of meaning Such is the case concern ing that great word peace Some times these stand in sharp contra diction the Peace of Force may be contrasted with the Peace of Law It may indeed bo well to work for llin former peace when latter is impossible It may bo at times wise to spend earnings of millions to secure it It may be bolter than no peace at all But at best It is not inure a temporary It demands that each and nil should bo fully armed before it Is vision of universal discord held check by fear Such conditions decidedly undesirable when the of nation is deeply concorncd of Law stands In direct opposition to the Peace of Force Tho Pcqcc Law looks forward to universal order and brotherly affec tion not brutal hatted and ulti mately a hotter world This has no need of force for with he advancing civilization rises power of selfcontrol In peace and friendliness the final glory of and of nations Thero is no greater than war and the solo honourable fight of our limes Is the struggle to evil to the Sections of the Conservative press as well as a large body of public opinion are still convinced that- the Hearst Government is opposed to Hydro An example of this feeling may bo seen in the following extracts from a recent editorial in the Toronto Tele gram Conservative Ontarios trust and nickel trust affiliated with a com munity of interests in the United States- These affiliated interests have sympathizers in high places of government at Ottawa- in Queens Park Toronto and in Washington Big power interests and allied electric and other trusts on both sides of the line will he menaced by the establishment of

make it a political football instead of a great and beneficial public service managed on non partisan lines All this is had for thc HydroElectric It reveals to public what has been very well known for some time in the inner circles of the Conservative party that relations between Sir Adam Beck and the McGarry faction of Hearst Government are strained almost to the breaking point Tho Globe believes that the friction will continue until Sir Adam Heck is forced to give up the work he has carried on with a wonderful measure of success or until the Government in Queens Park frankly recognizes that the control of the system should be vested largely in Commissioners appointed by the municipalities whose financial hacking alone made system possible Tho Government in seeking to exer cise control and in refus ing the municipalities- an ade quate share in the management of the system are displaying an autocratic tendency that Is resented all the more by municipalities of a general heliof that
