Out thereit ie a very lively as well as a serious Wenn So grave indeed that after an .all -dray debate in the Canadian House of Cummins, a tresolutien was pared an Envoi of the "effective restriction" of "Oriental immigration Into Canada. Tieroughout the ldebate there 'was clear indication that the feeling of the country is for the exclusion alto .gether of Orientals a (Oho come with the idea of colonizing or malting their homes in Canada -fora long e period. The fact that Canada and Japan, are about to discuss the ques- tion of immigration from the latter country was the only thing that sav- ed the House from placing isel£ on record as against such a class of im- migration altogether. Frankly, there is a very strong feeling against the Japanese in the West. All along the Pacific coast of this continent they are malting a foothold. As most peo- ple know they 'are an aggressive race. In the language of one commentator they do not "walk softly." They have acquired much land, 'fishing rights and concessions, lumber leases and business, and in other ways are planting themselves as a race that has come to stay and to have a large part in the affairs of the country. No one pretends that it is possible to assimilate them—British and Orien- tal stock do not do that. If they were of the races that readily coa- lesce with those which laid the foun- dations of this country and are its chief peoples so to speak, there would be no problem. But when dne finds the Canadian Minister of Im- migration himself admitting that ex- isting conditions are a menace to white supremacy on the Pacific Coast, there is reason for apprehension in" all parts of Canada. What is a dan- ger to one of our provinces is of im- mense importance. to all. The vdhole question is one that is hedged about with perplexities and dangers. Chinese do not arouse anything like the racial antagonism that the Jap- / anese do, chiefly because they do not bear themselves with the air of a con- quering race. There is need for. real diplomacy in the handling of the whole 'natter, since it is obvious that while Japanese are in the main the cause of the. anxiety on the.part of Ss4 those who are studying the situation, ut' wound: be, difficult to proceed as a- h$beroahiereaatoeprsweh Thedebate exist are another reminder that (n- ada hes taken her place in the world affairs as a netien. Hair splitting a- bout her status within the Empire may continue for some time without altering that fact. Australian, Toil Give Preference Only to Britain At a ttnae when Canada is looking for the oxpai'ision of her trade a- broad, sand especially with sister Do- minions, it is curious to note that the recently revised ,Australian tariff eaanfines the preference to Great Bri- tain alone. This follows the line of previous legislation, but there had been a confident impression that an alteration was to be made, and that an Empire preference was on the way. New Zealand has also lately had a tariff revision. aIn this prefer- ence was given to all British Domin- ions. Subsequently this was, with- drawn in so far as it applied -to Au- strrilia, pending negotiations for re- ciprocity between the two. These have now been completed and await the sanction of the respective parlia- ments. 4 0 d The Interminable War in Iffitocco Spain is in the limelight again with a scene ptisn._ni= ..the.. intermin .. able war in Morocco. This time there have been considerable Spanish successes. There 'does „not seem to be any British raised legion with •the Spaniards now. Adventurous spirits who served in the great war and still sought for the excitethent of battle, enlisted in considerable numbers in such a 'legion some time ago. But they complained of bad amine by their taskmasters and there was a tremendous falling off in recruiting. p , 0 France Releases 50,000 (Government Employees France, like every other country in Europe, is forced to resort to drastic measures for economy's sake.. One measure recently taken was the dis- missal of 50,000, governinent employ- ees. This does not, however, mean that " the permanent civil service— which is very extensive—leas . suffer- ed to that extent. The vast majority of those now let out were auxiliaries taken on during the war period. France, in common with most of the nations, has found the untangling of 4 the ricins lett by the wart to be as lass diens and difficult 'rash., Armee of wmleyces were built up e.er;y*bene fes ~v,, iaus departments, wheee ICV sora i'oa existence paSSeil with the end of the c at.. But the demobilizing of most of these has been a parch teng- erob than was, the case in the de- mobilizing of roost of the actual cane- batan.ts. The Finance Commissioner of Frunze has made the propaastl tai, cut the salaries of ministers, mem- bers, of parliament and the leading permanent oflkeials of the government services. In Britain also' estimated government expenditures tiro being eut with a sharp axe. One recoils nay ndatiaaza +-f the economy committee calling for ✓aggregate reductions of one hundred million pounds has been adopted to the extent of half that a- mount. There is to be a seduction of about sixteen million pounds in naval expenditures, including those covered by the accepted proposals of the Washington armament conference as against twenty-three millions recom- mended by the economy cotannittee, 4 4 4 f Feeling in Britain that Dominions Are Not .Doing Their Share Of course there are differences of opinion on the matter of naval reduc- tion, but Britain is determined to live up to the principles to which she subscribed at Washington. At the same tisane there ie a feeling ever there that the Dominions are not just paying the game in respect to their shlire of the still staggering naval burden. Lord Lee, First Lord of the Admiralty, gave expression to this view in an address in which he recal- led ecapled that the Imperial Conference had agreed that the maintenance of the Empire navy was the common con- cern of..theewhole_,',i inpiree and that the "extent and form wherto the bur- den should be shared, should be left until after the Washington Confer- ence." The results of that Confer- ence were now known, but Britain had no word of comfort or offer of help from the other nations of the Empire. On the contrary she was confronted with signs of even more drastic reductions of Dominion na- vies, and signs among some of them of demobilizing altogether. The re- sult was that Britain was being com- pelled to shoulder the entire respon- sibility of the protection of the eom-� merce and liberties of the Empire. She would continue to do it as long as she could, This was unfair and unwise, said Lord Lee. Well most Canadians feel that they would like to do more to ease the Motherland's burdens, or to become responsible for their own defence. But there, as the other Dominions, every item of financial responsibility must run the. gauntlet of close scrutiny and inspec- tion. It is not easy to decide that large sums should be expended for MGM ICI 12131131431213121121313181138013111CMCICIEMICIIMI The 1 Royal Ladies' Ready4o-Wear. 1 a , a Is the New Name for the Odd Store That Has ' I 1 Been SELECT LADIES' READY-TO-WEAR ® 0 - . i Re -Adjustment SSale We Are OfFering You Our Entire Stock Absolutely • ga At H.aif Price aiti 0 Como With Come For 1 to Come Seek -in the Bargain Thrills of a Lifetime- 1 pi Never before has such a dazzling array of Super Saving, been assembled!

Militia and naval estimates in this country are being severely cut, Bonuses to civil ser- vants, giving in lien of increases in. order to meet the higher .cost of liv- ing as compassed with prewar times, are also being t`cduced. On salaries of over $2,400 it is suggested that. there should be no bonuses at all. The ,politicians may argue as to the inerits or demerits of some of these measures. What -Canada hopesfor is a steady improvement in the com- mercial and industrial situation. 'L'he League o Nations Justifies Its Existence Every once in a while the League a Nations shows that it was based on sound principles and has an as- sured future if the nations will"but support it. It is announced from Ge- noa that representatives of Germany, and Poland have accepted the rogue latiane of the League of Nations for the settlement of the Upper Silesia question. Germans and Poles at Ge- neva, where the League Council has been dealing with the matter, have been instructed to sign a treaty bind- ing for fifteen years, This in addi- tion to defining the frontier line .set- tles many other intricate and vexat- ieus matters. For instance in many seetfons the raw materials for certain manufactureres were in one country and the factories in another, work- men sometimes living in one country and following their avocations in a- nother. This followed the unsatis- factory plebiscite of some months ago. This plebiscite was in turn fol- lowed by inability of France and Bri- tain to decide for Poland and Ger- many er many how the frontier should actual- ly be drawn. The reference to the League" was made at .a time when Germany and Poland seemed deter- mined to fight over the question and there was • dissension in the allied camps about it. Italy and Britain ;Getting Together Though not yet officially detailed the report that Italy and Britain are getting together in a general politi- cal and .economic agreement, is in keeping with the friendship between the two countries. This has been traditional in the past rather than actually practical. The war brought them much . closer together and they have stuck .to one another in a num- ber of difficult diplomatic situations. Italy's position in the Mediterranean is always -a matter of grave concern to her and any formal treaty between the two would no doubt include im- portant provisions in that respect. The Indian Trouble at Brantford Not only in Canada, but. through- out the continent and the Empire, there has been evoked it lceen inter- est in the trouble withthe Six .Na- tiaitis Indians on the Erant Reserve, Ontario. There is always a halo of romance eround•the Red Man, though the day has gone when there is real danger of Indian uprisings of magni- tude on this continent. Efforts made in some quarters to present the pre- sent trouble in the light of a menace to Canada are to be deprecated. :One may hope that good sense and fair dealing will prevail to the end'and that a settlement mill be reached without the' violence that some Indian chiefs predict and some whiteerfear. As far as it can be sifted the matter resolves itself into a question as to whether certain Indians can be de - possessed from a farm which it is al- leged they acquired by simple squat- ting. The Indians claim the right.to confirm their fellowmen there. The Government holds that possession is held by unlawful means. Anything that turns attention to our Indians is full .of interest for most people who have 'any acquaintance with .history or love•of romance. Sive- Two plugs for 25 cts.! And some .tobacco too!

By that title you had, in your last edition, published an item which won't let lie .sleep.• The rea- son is this. 'I have no fence on the front side of .any property, and every, 'summer some cows, living in the neighborhood near me, come to . my garden, and you can imagine what such a visit (sometimes it happens at night) means. Generally it was Mr. Billy Garret's cow, a fine cow so far as that goes, and very fond of my mangolds, but as bosay is now sold out of town, others come along. So far I had not need to go to court for the damages I sustained. I charge moderately, from 50 cents to $1.50, but I find out, even if I take nothing, it males no friends, so I had serious- ly considered to build a fence. Now that I have read your item, "flow a- bout the Cow Bylaw?' I confess I don't know what is to do! I am not a lawyer, and have not much to do with the court at all, still I thought, in my humble opinion, the bylaw is tnade to p-ohibit cows grazing on the roadside inside the town limits. If I do erect a fence, the new fence will attract, and plenty of gram in • front of my house 'will bring, if not Mr.': Packwood and hie caw, others, with the same object in mind. That can be counted on. Arid that may bring we into the same box as Mr. 'Weston was. Ile objectedto iir.eing a cow tied on his fence wia:les.nt his cosascnt.

In others words, and+ in very plain English, it means,' as the bylaw now stands and--tho inter- I pretation prevails (this is important) legally a' now can be tied on any fence, in Goderich, provided there is grass on the roadside. And it seems elles gal for the :owner of said fence, in such a case to protest and to protect his property. This suit brings me in an awful di- lemma. I am not against a cow, in a sense. I consider her n useful anis mal. Only last year I peid 14 cents for a quart of milk. Yes, Goderich paid 14 cents for a quart of milk last year. But I hate to have her tied on my new fenee (if Is make' one), parad- ing: in efront of my house.: Some- times such a bossy gets, a fancyfor roaring' louder and in quicker tnter- vals than our Goderich foghorn. Then I dislike her mermen too. Any manure when ploughed under int - proves the land. Everything grows better in it. Potatoes grows bigger. But manure spread over the sidewalk gets on my nerve, and if t make not any fence nothing is safe in my gar- den during the whole season. May I ask you, Mr. Editor, a quer- tion, If you were as I ern, what would you do under such circumstances,. and oblige. May 10th, 1922. ELDON STREET FARMER.
