They see Britain's position as "whitens of the seas" threatened. and contemplate with dread the posslhit- iy of an invasion of their country by a German army. To one at tide- distaste. from the scene, the talk of a German invasion seems like the wildest of dreams, un less, indeed, it he pre -supposed that Germany has gone stark mad. 1Vhat object could Germany possibly have in such an exploit ? It is much more likely that the war lords of the Kaiser's realm, if they are looking for conquest, have their eyes turned its some other direction than towards the "tight little island" acro.. the. North Sea. 1Vhen the bolt falls, if it dies fall, it may b. that Great Britain will have to take it hand in the trouble but Germany will hesitate a long while before it throws itself upon the fortune. of war.

Tho Opposijion at Toronto should put itself strongly on record in con- demnation of the proposal to hand over to Markernie & Mann two mil- lion acres of land in the Northern On- tario clay belt. Hiner the 1.ilw•rels carne into power at Ottawa in 1566 not an sere of land has been given by the Dominion Govern- ment to railway companies. except the right of way for the (:rand Trunk Pacific. "The land tor the people" should be the policy of every Gov- ernment in Canada and the proposal tit SirTaines Whitney to hand over kingdom to those princes among wire- puller, Masers. Mackenzie and Mann, should be fought at .very step. Sir Janes Whitney claims credit for not granting a guarantee of bouff ns* • cash subsidy. Either of these courses would be preferable to the alienation of lands which, it ie con- fident ly hope(i, will furnish homes for tboueande of Canadian settlers in the not far distant future. in any ease, the Province of Ontario is under no obligation to Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann. - • LOOKING FOR ACTION. On the subject of the combines The Toronto Star says : "Mr. Fielding and hie colleagues *annul afford to ignore or under- estimate the strength of the footle' entertained on this eubjeet.

If the town expecte to at t: in business to this harbor, it must do what it can to provide the proper facilities for bmlling the business. The business certainly will not come if the proper facilities are not provided. ' The question is, What traffic can we reasonably expect to get ? and then, in expectation of this traffic. what can we afford to spend in pro- viding iaviding improved facilities for hand- ling the traffic ? It there is a reason - stile prospect that the freight sheds,.if constructed, will be used by the C. 1'. R., the G. T.

Last week The Signal chided Mr. Borden for having made the state- ment, it. reported, that he "was con- vinced from what he had seen at Ottawa that half the revenue waw an much waisted as if it had been thrown into the sea." A reporter of The Tor- onto News who took shorthand notes of Mr. Bordeda speech writes 111 to the effect that what he said was this : . "1 repeat here tonight what I have said on many • platform, that in the 'expenditures of the last five or six years especially not lees than a sem of about ten million dollars of public money of this country of ours has been so absolute) wasted that it might just as well have been thrown into the see. 1 firmly believe that from what 1 have wen golug on." This is certainly not so extravagant a statement ae the former one on which The Signal lased its remarks last week. Yr. llorden, however, seems to be in some danger of falling into the Whitneyesque style of talk, which may be passable for a Ptovin- eial politician but would never db for a Prime Minister of Canada.

Frank, outspoken criticism because of the slowness of the Dominion Gov- ernment to take action for the sup- pressioh of the combines continues on the tart of the Liberal men. The WindsorRecord. in discussing this matter, pointe out that relief from the exactions levied by eombinal ions can scarcely be expected from the Ontario Oovernment, because many of the wont offenders are political friends of that Government. Since there is nothing to hope for at Toronto an appeal has been made to Ottawa. and unfortunately, The Record says, the recent interview twtween representa- tives of the Dominion Grange and members of the Government indicates that little is to be expected even from that querfer. i1 will bre unfortunate for the Administration It this view comes to be generally held byinde- pendent Liberal jo.trnals and y the rank and file of the Libctal party.
