What ie the message be will being book Y Will he put Uasadet 'fib ledge while be is ore r• there, or will he come beck and get the oon- seot of Parliament 7 Although the matter has not been made puhllo yet, It is an open secret among the members of Parliament that all the overseas elovernmelltet South Attlee, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, were consulted in regard to the Allier' reply to the German peace note. The views of the various overuse Uoveruwrnts were found to correspond with ethos. of the Allied Governments ad the reply was dratted with their previous knowledge end consent. No doubt the British Uoveruruent took the view that Can- ada had paid well to get a look in on the negotiations and a look in she got. The logic 01 this attitude is, of course, that Canada accepts joint responsibili- ty with the European powers for the continuance of the war, and the out- come of this joint responsibility is that Canada should take • band when the peace terms are being settled. In short, Great llritnin seems dis- posed to let Canada take as much re- sponsibility end, inferentially, es much of the burden of the war u she feels deposed. Such being the case, members of Parliament are asking what Premier Borden Will do next. Having subscribed to the Allied re- ply and thereby havipg eslabluhed Censdr't title to tike part in the peace treaty, what is the next step wbich the Burd.ntiovernsueut contemplates? Having accepted the doctrine of joint responsibility Inc the war and the pesoe, it follows in some minds that there should he joint terponeihili- ty for the trials and (roubles and gat - ganturt. taxes which will he the fruit of Great Hritain'a staggering war dela alter the war is over. Also there ie the core of lulperiel defence. Will Great Hrutein want to hear this bur- den alone, or 'vill Premier Botden t1e met with suggestion, that Caned& should beer a share by wa'- of a yearly contribution of fifty millions • year ? Such are the views of Mr. Lionel Curtis and his fellow enthusiast* of the Round Table. Wbet is more to the pointe such are the views of Lord Curzon, Lord Milner and Boner Law, members of the inner War Cabinet, who have a very high idea of the duty of the colonies toward the lent pile, and such are the views of Bir Kdweird Carson, who loathes home rule en much that he hes kept Ireland out of it Inc the last five years. W hat Parliament cenout help ob- serving ie that when Premier Bordeu goes to the Imperial Conference hr sticks hie bead into aden of the fine.[ old cr tasted high Tories that England has seen in Cabinet positions for Mee last ten year.. They belong to the gond cld high -binding Tory type which built up the Empire in the eighteenth century, incidentally lou ng the United Siete* of America h the lipenesa of their opinicJoe. Mr Lloyd George is a rest reining influence hire, of roars.. Premier Lloyd Georg can't be with Premier Borden to pro.- tect him all t he time. They'll 'find him and get et hien some day when David Lloyd George isn't looking. Beside., Premier Lloyd George would probably aide with them anyway ! The queerloy.-Qment is asking ire will Premrer-Borden be able to stand up to them or will they put it In his eye? They are great per- suaders over there in WVeetminster. The last time Premier Borden wentrto a conference in England he came Mack with three dreadnoughts in hie head— put there by Winston Cburchill, who has since blown up. When Premier Borden couldn't put his Canadian special contrihutiop p tI4t'y over;" by was so enraged that t Niobe and the Rainit tw were not only dis- mantled, but the tenders for the Laurier navy were dropped in the waste basket, with the result that when the war broke out Canada was in the humiliating position of having no ships either to defend herself with or to help the Mother Country.

Knowing Sir George's tendencies, Parliament does not reckon on hie acting es e brake on Premier Borden'. impnisivenese. We may take it Inc Panted tbgt-live great_minda—Lloyd George, Milner, Cuckoo, Caraou and ▪ Balfour—velli concentrate tbeir argu- ment on one lone premier from over- seas. What chance has the nor tet low against this brilliant attack i They e will *m round and envelop end scorch his back Bair like a curtain of file. Naturally they will ask him for all that England would like to have from Canada.. end we would be glad to feel lbat Preoter Borden will answerer), offering all that Canada can afro.d to give. But this is not Parlament'* rt. perience of Premier Borden. When he gets one of those promising moods on he would part with his suspenders, or anyboly.Le'e. Canals will have her own troubles after the war,—troubles she has been glad to assume Inc love of the Mother Couotly. Not to mention the treas- ure of blood Canada has spent, theta will be a national debt of staggering proportions, taxes such as run not in the memory of man, and leterest- charges and a pension list that will aggregate one hundred million dollare a year. All told, it will take about three hnndred and fifty million dollars ei year to wee ug through. Some have alluded to this arra man's burden on a May's neck, but Canada cheerfully bears it se the price of her duty to the British Eutpire. Canada has done, end continued to do, her bit, fights for the Motherland and pays her wow. When the war is over she will have a big hill to foot. The question every- Medy is salting now is whethet Premier Holden intends doing anything senile in England to make it bigger. H. F. °ADMIT. Pessimists on both side s of the House view with alarm the fact that Pieruier Borden will be the only front rank statesman from evenness present at the conference. Sir Louis Botha, fore- seeing a dilemma, perhaps, dors not appear for South Africa, but sends a deputy, who eon always hack out of a tight hole by Raying that he must con• bull his principal. Premier Hughes, freeing failed to deliver the good.— that is to say, having failed to put conscription aeioss in good old Alas- tial1N—wltl also be among three ale bent. He will send a proxy to London' and stay rat home to mind his own business, ahich at this moment ie to hang on to his job by the skin of his teeth. Aintralla is very, very Britibh' --perhaps more British than Canada —but not Britirb enough to do what Premier Hughes wanted it ca do. With Au.tralia and South Africa rep. resented at the conference by depntie•, Canada and New Zealand will he the only overseas eiNtep to Rend plen• i ot.entiaries. The chances are that Premier H(rden will be more plen- ipotentiary than his comrade of New Zeeland, which is a democratic coun- try and very insistent that its Premier should commit the people flet and make hie answers mitrtwards. — Premier Horden, on the other hand, has developed a habit. since the war began of doll g things first and ex- plaining or negl.eting to explain then' afrurwarde. Premier Borden does a I01 of governing by order -in -council, which, of creme, is the good old Tory way of doing it. By, order -in -council, we have hi.
