Thus spoke Daerid Lloyd Geoege, the
British Prime Minister, before the
110Use of Commons on Thursday in
outlining the work of the recent con-
ference of the Imperial Prentiers.
' The Premier was dealing epecifie-
ally with the Anglo-J4paneee salience

eoznassrence had unanimously recogniz-
ed that Japan loyally had carried out
her obligatioea to Great Itritain dur-
ing. the war in letter and in sperit.
Mr. Lloyd George asked if it was
to be suggested that Great Britain
now should turn her back upon Japan
with a mere thank you and good-bye,

The Closing Door.
Thedoor to peace in Ireland was
unfrocked by King George in his speesh
• Let Belfast, Lloyd Germge opened it
in his "final appeal" for a conference.
It was thrown wide by Jan Smuts,
Premier of South .Alrites.
That door is being closed by Eamon
do Valera end the Sinn Fain, writes
the editor of the Philaaelphia Ledger.
There is a lingering hope in London
and Dublin that a way will yet be
found to steroid the return to roadside
murders, ambushes by day and by
night and the sordid horrors of "guer-
rilla warfare" This hope is without
base or conviction.
Last week the British Government
expectedly gave to the world three
documents. The first was the British
offer of dominion status to Ireland:
entire self-government, complet
autonozny, everything but political in
dependence. The second was D
Valera's reply, demanding comae,
ale] absolute Irish indepenclenee. Th
third was the British rejoinder to ,th
Irish claim of Irish right to wed
from the empire. "No such right ca
ever be acknowledged by us,'' say
Lloyd George, who points out:
"Our proposals present to the Irish
people an •opportunity such as has
never dawned in their history before.
We have made them in a sincere de-
sire to achieve peace, but beyond them
we cannot go."
In his reply dealing with these same
proposals, De Valera. has said, in Te-
jecting there:
"0.bvioasly we are tumble to urge
acceptance of such proposals upon our,
people."
Greet Britain has . gone as far as
she dares to go. Lloyd George ex-
plains the dangers to England of go -
Mg any further, reasons that every
Englisbanan knows and that the world
has rioted and reoagnizod. This is by
no means as far as Sinn Fein de-
mands. The deadlock seems to be
complete.
This is the suni and the pith of the
situatioe. The negotiatordealt with
other things, with 'Ulster, with stipu-
lations and with guarantees, but the
rack that was struck was the rock of
Irish determination to be independent.
Offered independence in practically
everything but the name, tho Irish
would have that or reject all.
London and Dublin profess to find
hope in the conciliatory tone of the
correspondence. It is true that there
is neither arrogance nor anger in the
communications, but there is a note
of finality on both side's,
The Irish problem that was with-
elrawn from the world during the ne-
gotiations is before it again. The
world will note that England has
made the concessions; that Ireland
has made none. Great Britain has
gone further than the British public
expected; further than the world ex-
pected. Sinn Fein clings to the one
idea, indepenaenee or war.
What now? Sixth little hope as re-
mained of possible conciliatory action
by the Dail Eireann is aljedowed by
word that it will reiterate the demand
for independence. The only reply that
England can make to this has been
made by Lloyd George.
The world has been- watching, sit-
tirsg in. judgment on Crown and Sinn
Foin for months. Its verdict is not
yet ready. But Lloyd George has laid
his case before the world, midi it is
etrengthened the English position ill?,
measurably. It will have a profound
effect upon public opinion in Eng-
land, Ireland, the United States
and the world.
A world that is weary of strife and
the sounds of war will note it was
England who opened the door and
made the cencessions. In the United
States, where the Irish movement has
drawn much of its Strength, a settle-
mernt has been expected since the out-
lines of the British terms were made
known.
The door is closing, The neat, and
maybe the last, move possible for a
•, N. -
weary time waits upon De Valera and
Sinn Fein. It is theirs to •chose be-
tween going the road that Canada,
South 'Africa and Atiatralia have

LINK IN EMPIRE
WIRELESS CHAIN
First Messages Sent to All
Stations Within Range.
A despatch from London says:—
Hon. F. G. Kellaway, British Post-
master -General, on Thursday sent the
first messages through the eta link
in the chain of Imperial wireless com-
munications, The transmitting sta-
tic n at Deafield, Oxfordshire, has just
been reinitiated.
Keslaway sent a message to all Brit-
, ish statione within range, and another
meseage to all European and other
o foreign stations in range; receiving
a within a few minutes messages of
o felicitation front stations in Malta
o ateeese, Rome, Budapest, Posen, Nor-
, way, Sweden and Germany.
The links to follow, as decided by
a the recent Imperial Conference, will
be: Csdro, East Africa, South Africa,
India, Singapore, Australia, with a
branch from Singapore to Honk Kong,
and a link from Britain to Canada.

T 10 new premier of Alberta. A seat

Legislature.
A Gigantic 4ob.
There have been famines that have
menaced more millions of people than
a -o now thrlat505d iii Rusaia. In
famine-steicken districts in India the
British have dealt with 70,000,000 peo-
ple endangered by lack of feed.
• The .trouble in Russia is that civil-
ization, government end transporta-
tion have broken clown. A further dif-
ficulty is that the whole population
in many districts has been on the
verge of hunger for yeare. There is
no reserve strength in the nation, It
is all burned out, wasted, used up in
mad experiments.
That is what makes the Russian
problem the most gigantic job of all,
famine relief undertakings. Tho Brit -i
MI in India were dealing with an
orderly people who had not been Ilan-
gry long, and they had rail lines ond
unaffected sections of the land to aid
them There was a trainee official
class ready to take over the work.
In Russia there is none of these
things. Rail and river transportation
had teased to exist in many areas.
Roads have not been mended for
years. The people have been hungry
for a. long time. Then are no officials
accustomed to dealing with such
problems.
It will not be a job of a month or
,six menthe or a year, 3d ie likely to
require several years. As Herbert
Hooves. segs in his cable to the Swiss
Presidemt, famine in Russia is beyond
the reach of charity and will ream

This is one of the most sacred spots

1812-1814, American troops crossed the

The' Government park which occu-

beautiful spots in Ontario. It com-

the Niagara plain that is scarcely sur-

panorama of river and orchard and
vineyard and tilled fields which
spreads away to the shares of Lake

A despatch from London says:—
Score.s of unemployed former British
servioe men are reporting daily to the
Spanish Consulate here for enroll-
ment in the: Foreign Legion of the
Spanish army.
Information which led to this re-
cruiting is said to havo bean circulated
secretly among the unemployed. Ap-
plicants far enlistment are asked only
two questions: "Can you fight?" and
"Will you fight?"
Although the men are informed of
the dangerous nature of the prospec-
tive campaigning against tribesmen
in Morocco, they readily enlist in view
of the inducements offered. These in-
cludesa bonus of 700 pesetas fog: a
five-year enlistment, and 400 pesetas
for a four -yeas. enlistment. Other at-
tractions are eligibility for medals,
decorations and promotion to com-
missioned: rank, as well as daily pay
of four and one -hale pesetas on final
acceptance at the headquarters of the
Foreign Legion in Ceuta, Morocco.
Volunteers rejected in Ceuta are
promised return transportation. It is
stated that the number of enlistments
