THEIR SIGNIFICANCE. 1 34 The assassination of Field Marshall Sir Henry Wilson as he was entering his home in Eaton Square, London, belongs to that class of wanton and senseless crimes for which no' punish- ment seems adequate, It is stated that his murderers were members of the Irish Republican Army, They not only shot the Field Marshall, but wounded several policemen and civil ians who aided in their capture. Their capture, Their crime, like all such murders, can only result in a crushing blow to the cause which it was doubt- less thought it might aid. The gun- men of any faction cannot terrorize the British people and government; all they can do is to show the world that British leniency has been mis- placed, If any responsible Republican had a hand in the planning of this crime they are as guilty as the actual perpetrators and as lacking in their understanding of the British tempera- ment, Sir Henry Wilson was a most distinguished soldier, He was form- erly Chief of the British Imperial Staff and lately military adviser to the Ulster government, This latter, it is inferred, was the reason for his assassination, vy An amazing statement is made by the League of Nations Armament Com- mission which has been holding a session at Geneva, It is that notwith- standing the events of the past decade Europe is spending more on arma- ments than in 1913. In view of the fact that Germany, Austria and Bul- gavia are practically disarmed, this must 'he regarded by all lovers of peace as disquieting news, It is re- ported that some members of the League charge that the United States is one of the largest vendors of arms and ammunition, and that those are sold extensively in countries where slavery still persists, thus making it difficult for the civilized nations to stamp out that evil, This is a charge that until war time at any rate, could have been made with equal truth against most of the other civilized nations in spite of a number of treat- ies, understandings, and so far as Britian was concerned, the activity of naval units against arms trafic and slavery wherever these affected her in- terests, Gun-running has long heen a profitable calling for many private concerns in many lands. The influ- ence of the League of Nations and the spirit which brought it into being, must needs. be wider spread if the world is to be weaned away from war. Secret diplomacy, which was thought to have had its day before and to have heen discarded by the mations after a struggle at the Peace Confer- ence, seems to have made another fight at the opening of the Hague conference, Curiously enough the Dutch government in whose territory the conference is being held, was the instigator of the idea that the pro- ceedings be all transacted with sec- recy. They refused any information to correspondents from Dutch news- papers, who were, however, kept fully informed by the British and French. This is the conference at which it is hoped to come to some definite ar- rangement with Russia, the Genoa CWilliam Banks. Canada, . President W. 8. Fisher of St. John N.B, put the case very well in opening the annual meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers Association at St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, He said that Canadian business was steadily, but slowly, improving; that the inter- national situation was clearing; that money was easier; prices stabilizing; unemployment decreasing. Basic pro- duction was recovering from "the trying experfence of the past two years." y % 9» Britain accorded the Prince of Wales a series of joyous welcomes after the completion of his 40,000 mile tour. The heir to the throne has now made the round of the British Domin- ions and possessions, visiting a num- ber of other countries as well. It is doubtful if in the past generation the Empire has had 'a more popular ambassador, He has been hailed with pleasure everywhere and his person- ality has certainly had as much to do with that as his exalted rank. He has not been called "The Sunny Prince" without reason, It is natural that with his return rumors should revive |: as to his early marriage, and there is expectation in Britain that announce- ment of this will soon follow, x. % 8 Additional details continue to con- firm the victory of pro-treaty candi- dates in the Irish Free State Blec- tions, It should be remembered by those who are reading the despatehes for all of the returns that the Labor and Independent candidates are nearly everyone pledged to support the treaty with Britain. Some experts have fig- ured that Michael Collins and his friends made a grave mistake in agree- ing with the Repwyblicans, who follow de Valera, for a coalition panel on the basis of the strength of the res- pective parties in the Dail. They argue that if this arrangement had been refused the treaty supporters would have swamped the Republicans, There seems to be little doubt that what the Free Staters feared was that if they did not enter into some such arrangement there would not be any chance of free choice at the polls. In other words that the Republicans would have carried on a bitter and widespread armed campaign which would have terrorized voters and kept many thousands of them away from the booths. It is unfortunate that the campaign of murder and arson should still be maintained, though in a lesser degree than was the case a few weeks ago. It is more unfortun- ate still that there should he a grow- ing number .of women victims, What is to be feared now is that 'the irre- concilable Republicans will not quiet- ly accept the verdict of the polls, but will begin warfare on a large scale once more. Everyone who hopes to see the "Irish question" settled as a matter of Empire and international politics will hope that this will not be the case, * x Signor Marconi, the famous "wire- less man" thinks that he is on the eve of discoveries that will revolutionize radio as we know it mow.

France holds to the point that Russia should be compelled to make arrange- ments for the meeting of her finan- cial obligations to other countries be- fore the latter make any comcessions to her. If any of the other mations had suffered as France has done, and had sunk so much money in Russia as she, they would probably be as insistent. However, there has been a meeting in London between Premier Lloyd George and President Poincare and the latter is understood to have consented to a line of action by France that will not wreck the Hague par- leys before they are well started. Ld * * Public opinion in Britain has been keenly disappointed by the string of conferences on European affairs and the fact that hoped for impetus to trade, expected from a number of them, has not been so marked as to cause enthusiasm. For that reason a new movement which has as its basis an intensive development of the re- sources and trade within the Empire, is attracting more attention than usual. A number of meetings have been held for the discussion of ways and means. One favored plan is a great publicity campaign through the press, to familiarize people with the advantages of Empire development. Sir Robert Horne, Chancellor of the Exchequer, President Baldwin of the Board of Trade and Winston Churchill are among the members of the govern- ment who are taking an active part in fostering the idea. It must not be supposed that the plan involves the suggestion that trade with Europe could take a secondary place. Britain could not exist long if that market for imports and exports was absolute- ly denied her. Seers and prophets who vision the time when the will trade within itself and "let the rest of the world go by" will be the first to admit, no doubt, that under esent conditions that would only be suicide for all the Empire's units. ime will be one is justified in be- ieving, when this country will have population equal to the present population of the British Isles, and he same will ultimately be the case with Australia and South Africa.

He is still at a loss to account for the signals he received more than a year ago from distances greater than had ever been recorded. At the time his tentative query as to whether these were from Mars, was seized upon as the basis of exaggerat- ed schemes and ideas that were accep- ted by lots of people as being actuali- ties. Though the earth went past Mars at a closer distance than since 1909, on the day that Marconi put in- to @ United States port, he gravely informed all his interviewers that he had made- no attempt to send or re- ceivé wireless messages or signals with Mars. As the distance, the scien- tists say, was merely a matter of forty-two million miles, Marconi was probably warranted in his declaration that he had more important matters to thipk of than signals or messages from to that planet. Few will question that wireless, by whatever name is known as it develops, is to exélpise a great influence in com- munication, industry and many phases of our gaily life.

It is from C(aicago that the story comes of the transie cnce of a gland from a man of Bo means to cne who had lots of money and paid well 'for the transaction. It is from Europe that most of the stories come as to the rejuvenation of elderly men by the transfercace of glands from monkeys. The doctors and scientis s owe it to the hum:.n race to give plain explanations of these alleged miracies as soon as a stated lapse of time has shown whether certain claims are sub- stantiated. There have bz2en numer- ous stories of late of advances along these lines, and of wonderful discover- ies in the prevention and cure of dis- eases to which the race is subject. It is not fair to humanity to propagate hopes of conquering certain deadly but widespread diseases without solid and substantial 'ovndation. There is enough suffering row without adding mental torture to it. Coincident with the announcement that Canada's publicly owned mercan- tile marine was operated at a consid- erable loss last year, comes a des- patch that a syntlicate in the old land would be willing to take it over and operate it under certain conditions. These are matters for Parliament to deal with first, and are, in any event sure to be subjects of controversy.
