A viers- 01 ,tupendousfolly would he the piop.".ed visit ot Mr Winston Churchill to Canada to attempt It) in Hueuce the. t anadian people io thei action regarding the navy. Any suc interference in their affairs would be h iretvly resented by large numbers of Canadian,, and instead of hringing Canada in closer touch with the Motherland it would Ur likely to have the reverse effect. l'enadians want to do what is right in the matter of 041111 defence; they want to secure the most tenable informatics that will assist them in reaching a rigbt conclusion in the matter; but they do not want anybody- from Britain to come here and:try to persuade them into a course of action which they would not adopt in accordance with their owe judgment.. What is wan ted is information, not advice and if the British Cabinet bag any in- formation to give on the subject there are recognized channels through which it may paw. The. Cabinet of Canadian Ministers is responsible to tbe Cana- dian people for any coarse it may adopt in tbis as in other natters, and it would he an .unpardonable cunfes- don of weakness on the part of the Canadian Ministers tr, try to unload their responsibility for any policy they may adopt upon the shoulders of a British Cabinet Minister. Further, there is no seed of any- thing in tbe shape of a jingo cam- paign in Canada. Instead of encour- agement for war-ecare-mongers. those who talk glibly- of the imminence of war. when no occasion for war is in sight, ought to beregardedand treated as public nuisance... Perhaps ('ana- dians could perform oo greater ser- vice for the Empire than in demand- ing thecesaation of this talk of war between 'treat Britain and Germany. Neither the British people not the people of Germany have any desire for war, hut in both countries there is a small but noisy element whose blat- ant war talk constitutes the only real danger in the situation. Muzzle the alarmists. and the war scare will disap- pear. A quiet little speech of five minutes from Mr. Borden, stating that Canada is prepared to do its duty wben real danger arise.. hut deprecat- ing needless alarms, would have con- siderable effect in the right direction. EDITORIAL NOTES. Another big crop in the West is in prospect, and along with it another year of activity In Western sub -divi- sions. Which will make its appearance first—Mr. Borden's naval policy or tbe Hydro -electric Commission's report on Maitland River power? Mr. Borden would like very much to here Sir Wilfrid Laurier pull him out•of the hole be has got himself Into on tbe navy question. A reduction of meat prices 1s ex- pected as the result of bumper crops in the baited States. The thrifty housewife wilt be glad of the promised relief. _ Perhaps, as some people think. the Asquith Government is -tottering to its fall," but -it bee already a reeved of achievement that will Mader it ine- snort al is Meters; .

A Judge la Eastern Ontario has Riven a decieioa that the *mainsail indemnity of • member of Peril *sent is assessable. A MU of impeachment of that judge nay be expected at the next session. Arrangements are tieing made for • series of meetings and p(csics to be bekt In various parts of Ontario in the early part of September and to he ad- dressed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The Chief will get • great reception, wberever he speaks. Just when some doubt was booho- oing to he entertained of Wisatcn Churchill's fealty to Liberalism, he lands upon Bonar Law with a savage denunciation which shows that be is not looking for friends in the Unionist ranks. at env rate. When Roosevelt entertained Booker T. Washington at the White House. he won the admiration of men who believe in human brotherhood. When he allowed his convention at Chicago to exclude the negro delegates, simply because they were negroes, he showed the weakness of the ordinary vote - hunter. Which is the real Roosevelt ? Mr. Rowell and his fellow -Liberals of the i.egislatur•e have been visiting Northern Ontario with a view to in- forming themselves as to the re- quirements of the country. And if incidentally they shuuld strengthen the position of Liberalism in that part of the Province there will be no regr'er.s on tbeir part. The Toronto Telegram states.. a pretty well-known fact when it says that the small property -owner "pays tax on perhaps ninety per cent. of the selling price of his home, while the large property -owner escapes with taxation on fifty or sixty per cent. of the: selling priee of his real estate." The assestnent law of Ontario re- quires radical amendment. Conservative newspapers are point- ing to Uncle Sam's had faith in the Panama Casal affair as a proof of the wisdom of the rejection of reciprocity. The United States, they say, cannot he depended upon to abide by any agreement which it finds does not suit its own purposes. But how does this affect the reciprocity- question? These same Conservative newspapers told us the agreement which was voted down last September was all in favor of the United Staten. The trouble with the restrictionist editors is that' they are too narrow -gauged to see that a trade agreement may be beneflrial to both parties, and there would he no occasion for either party to wish to withdraw from it. The Christian Guardian has a large suspicion that the manufacturers of war supplies have a good deal to do with the manufacturing of war "scares." ft believes that ninety per cent. of the war scares are without any foundation whatever, and that it would he well if people would get into the habit of discounting them. "When they have not back of them some interested purpose of a personal or political nature, they usually have nothing more substantial than the vivid imagination and love of excite- ment of irresponsible people. The folly of allowing ourselves to be stampeded into a belligerent mood by every fool war *care that comes along is altogether unpardonable." The United States Senate has plumed a bill eat •hlishing • discrimination in favor of United States vessels passing through the Panama Canal. This is in direct violation ot what is known of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, made between the United States and Great Britain Kum. years ago, and Britain, as party to that treaty, end also as spokesman for the shipping countries of the world. has been making • quiet protest against the passing of the bill. The leading newspapers of the United States are, to their credit, protesting against the action of Congress which would violate treaty obligations and place upon their country- what one newspaper terms an "indelible disgrace." it is recog- nized that Great Britain would have an excellent case to take before the International ('curt of Arbitration at The Hague ; but the United States Senators who put the bill through state that they will not allow the question to go to arbitration.
