In some quarters the giving of the vote

it may be better than an excuse -it
may be a reason. All the food pledges
in the world will not save a pound of
food, any more than you can feed a child
on milk tickets. A housekeeper who is
thoroughly in earnest on the food ques-
tion, and who is looking about for some
means of making her influence felt, might
ver, well seize the opportunity presented
by the pledge canvas,. to enter her prottest
against the exactions of the profiteers and
the Government's apathy with regard to
them. A refusal to sign the pledge card
is not recrsaarily any indication that the
woman wh-1 refuses is not doing her full
duty in the matter of food conservation.,

THE WiTNESS ON THE C.11. R. DEAL
t
Y The Montreal Witness speaks out
11 plainly' on the Government's peculiar
) transaction for the purchase c the stock
r of the Canadian Northern Railway. The
following article was puEtished editorially
by The Witness before tate bill had been
passed by Parliament:
re , From the beginning of the discussion
of the Canadian Northern Railway bill
we have been asking Ix more informa-
l' tion. That was clearly necessary be-
! fore the country could possibly give its
' consent to such a transaction. Fortun-
ately Senator Bostock has taken up this re-
quest in the Senate and has proposed
Govern -
amendments asking for: (I I A produc-
tion of the report made to the mept by the directors of the Canadian
Northern Railway System; (2) An ex-
planation of why the funded debt of the
Canadian Northern shown in the balance
sheet was a hundred and sixty-two mil-
lion, together with a hundred and twenty-
three million for affiliated companies,
making a total of two hundred and
eighty-five million, while the statement of
securities outstanding, as shown by the
financial statement printed by order of
Partiament, amounts to three hundred
and sixty million dollars ; (4) The
bonded and floating debt and other habil-
ities direct and indirect of each of the
affiliated companies; (4) The amount
of loans and the amount of securities on
which such kerns have been made to the '
Mackenzie and Mann Company, Limited
a to the Canadian Northern, and when
these loans are paid will the securities so ,
pledged revert to the Canadian Northern
Railway, or to the Mackenzie and Mann i
Company Limited. or to other parties?J 1

At ptiRftlls of Australia says the
Commonweaklt will not give up posses-
sion of the seised -Gentian colonies. The
Premier of France says France will never
consent to peace without acquiring Alsace-
Lorraine and an indemnity. The Pre-
mier of Italy says peace is impossible
without the recovery by Italy of her old-
time territory from Austria. The Pre-
mier of Great Britain says Belgium.
Northern France and Serbia must be re-
stored and indemnified, and the Presi- {
dent of the United States says the war j
cannot end until the Hohenzollerns are
dethroned. • The Emperor of Japan, the
Chinese Premier. and sundry other mag-
nates, have still to be heard from.
Under all the circumstances, it is not sur-
prising that there is a pretty general
agreement that the war will last at lea.4t
another year.

The St. John Valley Railway gave a hun-
dred thousand dollars to the Premier of ,
New Brunswick to.secure its railway con-,
tract. The Canadian Northern Railway
made a large gift to politicians in British
Columbia for the purpose of securing its
requests in that Province. In what way 1
has the Canadian Northern paid, or what
is it intending to pay. the Dominion Gov -m
ernent for not keeping the bargain en-
te('ed into a few years ago that the rail- /
way should fall into the Government's ,
hands if it had again to appeal to Parlia-
ment for funds? In the words of Sir James
Lougheed, who steered the Goverrunent

of thirty-five millions to the Cana -

1914, the Canadian Northern would
automatically corse into the poeaeasion

Government being recompensed for buy -

buying the railway without first taking a
look into its affairs to see what they are
