The postoffice gives a wonderful

occasionally there is complaint of

A forecast of-1the first session
of the new Parliament mentions
among the matters likely to come
up for ' discussion that of a flag
for Canada. It is to be hoped,
though perhaps hardly to be ex-
pected, that we shall- not hear the
cry that to have a distinctive
Canadian flag would be "doing
away with the Union Jack." No-
body, so far as we know, is trying
to do away with the Union Jack;
it will still remain as the emblem
of the Commonwealth and may be
flown as conspicuously as it is to-
day, while beside it may be flown
