B, BENNNETT who is perfectly satisfied with the way Imperial Conference is going so far and who is hoping to be able to announce something definite in about ten days, Hone,Fty Truth is stronger than. any net- work of deception, however complex may be its weaving, and sooner or later the reality will break through and snake itself manifest. It is only a question of time when he whoa pretends to wisdom which he has not is weighed and found wanting. Yet the betrayal of his ignorance will be the least of the penalties he will have to suffer. The greatest mistake he has made .has been in supposing that the wise and good, whose esteem he covets, value knowledge. above sincerity. Ignorance is, in it- self, no disgrace. It may result from circumstances over which he could have had no control. In any case the few things he can by the utmost labour acquire are a mere nothing to those of which• he must remain ignorant. But honesty is a characteristic which all may possess, and its absence is a disgrace that nothing can wipe out.
