ditions of the War Measures Act, the
Government could have taken the -
beaver off. the Canadian flag and
changed its colors to a pale pink, and
incidentally have made the British
North America Act lot* like a village
'bylaw. But eviOently some fair legal
talent think i4 harder to break the
Reiss claim on Canada than per-
form any or ali oi the aforementioned
chores. -
.And it may be a sad corollary to
the war that Canada has to pay an
additional war debt for refusing fur-
ther to arm her song with a weapon
in which they had lost all confidence
'and which fhey claimednwas a good
shooting weapon, save and except
rrhen shooting was modt necessary to
save their lives. "
It was Sir Wilfrid faurierre Gov-
ernment that, in 1904, contracted to-
tuy rifles henceforth and forevet
Li om the factory of Sir Charles! Ross.
• It was a contract that bad a begin -
ping but no -end. It was a contract
that provided that even in case of
rebellion or should the Government
require more rifles than the Ross fac-
tory could produce, it should give
the factery six months' notice before
buying elstwhere.
What does the ordinary Canadian
s -y about the Ross rifle, -its buyers
anti its makers?' You'll remember
how early in the war the soldiers
started throwing them away and
creeping out into No Man's Land to
pick up stra,y Lee-Enfields. You'll re-
member the rows in Parliament, how
manfully the Borden Government
fouht. to cry down complaints and
IiVe up to the contract which Sir Wil-
frid. Laurier had bequeathed theta.

ened to throw lute the tower some -
erific of the faino-us weapon and was
pessibly Only deterredfrom doing so

reminder that the towers of the old

Dat the time care* when no fur,

demanded to be armed with -a rine
that would shoot when It was wanted '
to shoot, and not when it blamed
well pleased. The cry from the
trenches was loud and insistent and
It was finding echoes at home that
no Governraent could afford to dis-
reo-°ard. Sir Sam Hughes still insist-
'fedthat the boys in France were

but the people and the GOvernment
knew different. So the day came
when the Laurier contract was
broken, the factory was expropriated
and. the boys at the front were given
a °hence for ,their lives.
Now Sir Charles Ross proposes to
make the country pay for the gfins
that were not- bought And by , the
time he sizes up his losses from

eral line of procedure for the
settlement of ',the- di-fferences itrisine
out of the World War can be fore-
eliadowed. Even a military armistice
does- not always follow peace par-
leys. When Mr: Roosevelt intervened
to put ail end to the Russo-Japanese
war,- hostilities dragged on for a
Jong time while delegates were jour-
neying to Portsmouth, "U.S.A., and
it was there arrange t4 that fighting
