THE WAR SCARE AGAIN.
The German war scare is "again in
our midst." and it is alleged that the
Canadian Government will propose an
emergency grant of ten or fifteen mil-
lions to the Imperial deteoce funds.
How will this strengthen the hands
of Great Britain/ The money would
he borrowed by Canada from British
capitalists. and if it is needed for any
emergency. the British Government
might as well do the norr•owing itself.
To ,borrow money from Britain and
then hand it back to, Britain does not
increase Britain's available supply of
the "sinews of twat." Money is the
one thing this; Britain can control
more readily than anything else. '
If there is really an emergency -if
the British Geeernment is in posses-
sion of information indicating imme-
diate danger of aggression from Ger-
many or from any other source -why
should not Premier Borden call the
Parliament of Canada together in
special session and have a declaration
passed pledging the resources of Can-
ada, to the last than, the last Stick of
timber ant the last bushel of wheat,
to the detence of the Empire ? This
would show any would-be aggressor
where Canada stands in the time of
danger, and as a warniug "Hands Off"
would he the most effective action
Canada could take.
Both political parties in Canada
have gone on record in Parliatnept
ageinsta money contrihution se a
permanent policy fixe this country,
and if Canada is t.• Five a hand in the
naval defence of the Empire it is time
a permanent policy wet e jn the mak-
ing. The Laurier Government in-
augurated a plan for the development
of a naval force which tbe present
Government has seen fit to set aside,
without providing anything to take
its place.
Their Publicity Committee has pt•e-
pared an attractive booklet setting
fostb the advantages of the Couuty,
which has been circulated very setee-
sively. All this publicity has natural-
ly resulted in settlers being *Mooted.
A large numbs{' of Eugliah people
bsve settled in the county. the greater
number going into market: gardening.
while some have zomwenoed fruit
fanning. A few instances are reported
of American farmers muvtng over from
the United States, and not a few Can-
adians have come from other parte of
Ontario.
Within two years four canning fac-
tories
artories have been established within the
county for the canning of pees, beans.
tomatoes and fruit. In addition there
are two canuing factories located just
outside the boundaries, so that six
factories provide a market for these
products in every section of the county.
"DISRUPTIONISTS."
The Toronto News terms "dis-
ruptioni.ts" those who admit the
gtiet-ances of Alberta and Saak-
atcbewan and urge that they should
he removed. The reference is par-
ticularly to the desire of the Western
Province, for an extension of their
markets such as the reciprocity agree-
ment with the United States would
have afforded.
It is not yet a century and a half
since' the colonies which have since
become the United States were lost to
Great Britain by the stubborn refusal
of the Old Country Tory party to re-
move grievances of the colonists. If
The News bad been in existence at the
tine of the Boston tea party IS would
have applauded the restrictions which
provoked the rnlonists and shouted
"Disruptionirts" at the liberal -minded
stateemeo tit Great Britain who wished
to remove the cause of the troubles
which eventually led to the great
Revolution.
The people of the West are Dot
asking for any special privileges.
N -hat t hey desire ie relief from trade
rratrictionn imposed upon them et
the behest of Eastern interesto.
Tbae people of the West are not
talking disruption. 14 is The News
and those wbtn. it represents that
threaten to smash things if they are
not allowed to have their own war.
STRATFORD HAS A GRIEVANCE.
The city of Stratford is finding that
its contract with tbe Hydro -electric
Commission is an obstacle to let
securing an electric radial railway.
A company- has offered to build the
railway on condition that it be
allowed to secure the cheapest power
available. 11. is waling to use the
Hydro -electric power it price and
other conditions are satisfactory, but
refuses to be bound to accept any
terms which the Hydro -electric
Comnussion may wish to impose.
This seems fair enough, and the citizens
of Stratford requested permission of
the Government to enter into the
agreement with the tailway company
on these terns. A deputation re-
presenting the city council the Board
of Trade and the Stratford Railway
Company waited upon Sir James
Whitney and Hon. Adam Beck. and
presented a petition eigned by 1,101
ratepayers of the city asking assurance
that the necessary legislation for the
validation of the agreement would be
passed by the Legislature. The
Ministers refused to grant the request,
Mr. Beck stating that the use of
Hydro -electric power must be insisted
upon. it Stratford were allowed to
slier its contract with the Hydro-
electric Commission. other munici-
palities could not be refused the same
privilege, and what would then be-
come of the Hydro -electric proposi-
tion? asked the Minister of Power.
Naturally, the people of Stratford
are greatly disappointed at the block-
ing of their railway scheme. The
Stratford Beacon says:
"Is there a man io Stratford today
who does not regret hating been in-
duced to enter the Hydro -electric
ring? We are at the outer edge of the
circuit., have assumed liabilities
aggregating $600,000, and what for?
Largely to assist municipalities in the
inner circle and those close to the
source of supply at Niagara to sell
power anywhere from 110 per h. o.
down cbeeper than we can in Strat-
ford. What chance have we, under
such circumstances, to get inaustries
depending on any large quantity of
electric power? iNone.

Henri Boursesa is out with an ar-
ti.le in his paper, Le Devoir. discussing
enoezation, and finds many points in
which he thinks union with the United
States would be to the advantage of
the people of Quebec. their language
and their religion. It has been gen-
erally supposed. and it is probably
true, that the French-Canadians re-
gard their position under British rule
as preferable to that which they would
occupy if Quebec were a State in the
Union. We fancy that even Mr.
Bouressa, with all his gifts of leader-
ship, will not be able to shake their
fidelity to Britain. In tact, it is to be
doubted if Mr. Bourses* really believes
himself all that he sass. He ie so
anxious tc he the centre of political
agitation that be appears to be swilling
to take up with anything that prom-
ises to kelp him prominently in the
public eye.
The churcb union project is making
progress. Following the favorable
attitude of the Presbyterian General
Assembly and of the Congregational
body, the General Conference spacial
committee of the Meth -dist church

1, The vote of t', • Methodist
ch, ooh membership was over eighty -
live per cent. in favor of union. The
Congregationalists also voted over-
whelmingly in favor. and the Presby-
terian vote, while not :o strongly
favorable. gave a large maiority for
union. There can be no doubt that,
whether soon or Dater, an organic
union of the three churches will be ef-
fected. the diff'tences which in the
past kept them apart are disappearing
io the tees of two great facts: One,
that Christian people in these days
are more and more regarding a
simple faith in God, rather than a cor-
rect theology, at tbe essential: the
other, the recognition of the waste of
energy involved in the maintenance of
the different denominational organiza-
tions and the desire to throw the whole
force of the united churches into the
work of evangelization at home and
abroad. There are reasons and sen-
timent., especially the latter. oppoed
to union; but irresistible forces are
working to bring the churches to-
gether.
