For if groups have come to stay, so have minority Governments. The giresent Government does not •seem wholly 'to' have graeped the : position as yet. "The Labor Government represents only a minority of the British elect- --orate. Ie certain of its proceedings, in the present Naval Conference,' for example, it can certainly speak for the whole nation, but in domestic at. it must enlist Liberal dilemma iierhaps, but a dilemma •which must be faced. "No one wants to have a fresh elec- tion or to turn the Labor Government out. The Liberal attitude is certain- , ly entirely benevolent. Many Liberals indeed' would. join the Labor Party if its Internal constitution were other than it is. But 'naturally .the .Liberals will never consent to act as the ser- vants., until their rights van's• of IiabO 1 of independent judgment are ungrudg- ing1v recognized., They cannot be ex- pected to accept the designation of 'traitors' merely because they oppose aS on the defective Coal Bill—meas- urea about which .they have never been consulted. "Minority Government implies com- promise. There is no reason we knee, of wliy the Labor and Liberal Parties should not work together -quite-happily for the next two or three years. The two parties have al- most nothing to quarrel about. Statesmen and Personal Feelings "Tire Labor Party, we think, is quite -wrong in believing that it has .any - 'thing to lose by being friendly to the Liberals. It seems to have a sort of 'inferiority complex' -a feeling, that is to say, that if it ever admits any appreciation of the virtues of Liberal- dsm it will endanger its own sou] -- not to mention its electoral organiza- tion. "These absurdities cannot be avoid- ed, but at least the Government might realize that it leas everything to gain and nothing to lose by a general rap- prochement with the Liberals. There is so much that the two parties count do together. Mr. MacDonald's per- sonal dislike of Mr. Lloyd George is. the primo difficulty, but statesmen have no right to indulge their per- sonal feelings. The two parties can certainly work together for a long time without any serious friction if only personal feelings could be ignor• ed. "At all events it is necessary that the implications ot a three -party sys- tem should be studied and understood. The Labor Party possesses no major - Sty of its own, nor is ever (with its present constitution) likely to do so. "The group system has come . to stov, and it is important that the lead - ere of the Labor Party, from the Prime Minister downwards, should realize this fact and should adapt its organization accordingly. "Laborism needs Liberalism to help it. It cannot stand alone ,except as a spurely class party, and as a Class party it can never rule England. We want.a national, not a Trade Unionist Government. Liberals Cannot Be Crushed "The Liberal Party is not, nor ever •will be a nonentity. It represents an important section of the electorate,. slid cannot be hoped out of existence. It can be used or abused, as the Prime Minister chooses, but it cannot be. crushed. "In any case we can perceive no national advantage at all in the at- tacking of. Mr. Lloyd George about errors of judgment for which he was responsible many years ago: The letting of bygones be bygones mast inevitably be the rule 01 any effec- tive political criticism. What mat- ters is not what Mr. Lloyd George did ten o1' twelve years ago, .bat what he is going to do to -morrow. Certainly 1te is not going to turn the Labor Government out if he can help it." "Per my own part, and I. believe that I speak the mind of the vast ma- jority of Liberals," Sir Herbert Samuel, writing in the Yorkshire EVeuing News, asserts, "I earnestly desire that differences should be avoided, and that this Parliament should lite long enough to accomplish many measures of useful reform for the benefit of the people. I am con: v!nced that its success or failure lies within the discretion of the Govern- mcnt Recently the newspapers announc- ed that Mr. Graham had heel, is non eultation with the Liberals about the Coal Bill. Fire Losses Sherbrooke Tribune (Lib.): From the simple point of view of material loss, fire reduces the wealth of the Canadian people by several millions each year. Insurance companies may compensate it whole or in part those who have suffered losses, but the fact remains that it is wealth lost for the Canadian people.

Rheuma- tism is not a surface ailment that can be banished by rub- bing with liniments or oils. Watery, poison -laden blood must be built up and puri- fied before there can be any progress toward permanent recovery. Time and again, sufferers have proved the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment of rheumatism. "For some years," writes Thomas Martin, of Novel., Ontario, "I was so badly troubled with rheumatism I could hardly walk and suf- ferer! great pain. I had medi- cal treatment but did not get much relief. After tak- ing Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for some time the trouble disappeared and has not since shown the least sign of returning."

"An inadvertent step—or shall we say motor-tire—may flatten the worth that is unwise enough to take exercise upon the public way, and next morn- ing some passer-by, noting the trag- edy, commiserates the stupidity of the little creature in exposing itself to certain obliteration," writes Mr. Douglas Gordon in the Coruhill Maga- zine. "It does not perhaps occur to the casual, observer that the worm may not have been as stupid as it appear- ed, its death being merely due bto'the fact' that motor -cars' never as much as entered into its scheme of things; or that even an earth -worm, in its own dim earthy way, is capable of con- siderable shrewdness.

In South Africa Our Sister Colony Has a Big Problem Little Under- stood in Canada COMMUNIST ACTIVITY ' The native African is the most pa- tient of all people, but imposing white civilization on him, says Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, former Premier of South Africa, can only result in'bol- shevizing him and making hint a men- ace to the rest of the world. And from another source Coutes word that this is actually taking place. In an address before the Natal Mis- sionary Conference, quoted. in "The South Africa Outlook," Ray E. Phil- lips declares that a large number of native South Africans are becoming communistically minded, and are in- creasingly feeling that the wrongs done thein by the white man can not be righted by peaceful means alone. They are rapidly losing their faith in the searcey conscious life of which he Government, says Mr. Phillips, who. is is in search, I a missionary of the American Board, "Even worsts, it would seem, arelspecializing in Christian social service capable of putting two and two to- work in South African industrial centres.

If this occurs; a suitable epitaph to be placed overthe grave of the institution which' called' itself the Christian Church might be the despairing words of Christ—'They said, but did not:' " General Smuts, to return to him, would leave the native African to his own system. In speaking in New York re.ently on racial problems in Africa, he maintained it is wrong to make "an inferior European" of a na- a: who is justly proud of being an African. As quoted in the New York "Times," Cenral Smuts went 'on: "There i5 a great deal of good in. the African eul:ure and system. For one thing, the. African is a Socialist. All land is owned in common, as are most of the cattle, and each tribe is run• by a council of elders and a chief. If you try to break down this system, it is very easy to do so, but it im- possible to substitute a European or any other system in its stead. By doing so you bol t y shevize the most docilecin =. b 5 on the face of the earth, the African negro, and you make him a menace to the west of the world. "Why should we standardize human- ity? That may be a fine thing in the United States. You want to Snake a great nation, and you are succeeding; but you can not do that with the hu- man race. In. Africa you must build on the African foundation. It has been created in hundreds and thou- sands of years, and I have a very high respect for any system of time, as I have for all natural facts. Let there be differences in type as long as they are ethically sound. "Leave them their villages, their dancing and'their songs. In the past. we have gone astray in South Africa. There have been misguided efforts on behalf of governments and mission- aries, although I do not in the least wish to condemn the latter, with whom I heartily sympathize, and we now have perhaps millions of Negroes who have lost their native contacts, and no .longer belong to their old tribes: "Our system is individualists; theirs. is socialists. The result of trying to Europeanize theta has caused so many to be lost to their own people." Any change in the African cultural system, General Smuts warns, should be made without violence. He advises that the native laborers in the copper mines of Rhodesia, and other parts, be not allowed to take their womenfolk and children with them, "Let them remain in their tribal areas," he urges. "Do not bring them to be contamin- ated by white civilization, which, after all, is perhaps only an experiment. When we reflect o little on our own foibles, our wars, our tremendous losses of human lives, it may not be so fine. At any rate, the black soon learns the vices of white civilization, and they soon degrade hits."
