A LIGHT AHEAD
The budget made a break in the
clouds just large enough to show the
Liberal party where it stands. The
best judges say that the position is
Just as the war had to finish before
we knew what the. war Meant so the
budget had _to be voted on before we
could enalyze its milli:Ica results. It
seems plain enough that there are to
be two_ great political parties M. this
country and that the Conservatives—
. they may call themselves 1 Unionists—
win be the High Tariff party and the
- Liberals will be the Lower Tariff party
but not so lciw as to stop the goose
from laying eggs. Both parties will
• be safe and sane and they will absorb
one way or another, the groups which
are now making so much noise in the
Of the two parties I could say that
the Liberal party has better organize- i
tion, better prospects and a better
knowledge of its own aims and objects. 1
The budget vote makes it clear thati
Free Trade, as Mr. Crerar and his 1
faithful band conceive it, is still some-
thing of oan ideal and that there are
not many members even in the West, 1
who are prepared to hazard their
political existence for it The senti-
merit may grow as the West fills up
but just now Mr. Crerar's gospel -which
• commands only twelve seats out of
fifty eight is only twenty per cent.
This means that the West is more an
influence than it is a power in Liberal
party politics, It is a good influence
to .be sure, and it may have consider-
able effect in shaping a radical plat-
form for a Liberal party at the big
convention in August but I am dis-
posed te think that the platforni will
be more radical/than the party's per-
formance if it achievee offiee. The
Liberal party can do a lot of tariff
reforrning• and still leave a substantial
margin of protectien. It must be re-
, membered that comparatively nothing
has been done in the way .of.tariff re-
duction except on certain agricultural
Implements. All that was taken off
was the war tax of seven per cent. so
that the: tariff practigally remains
where it was in July 1914. The
British Preference is put back *here
it was—nothing- is added, nothing is'
taken away—so that our friend, the
tariff, is apparently in the same robust
health ,es it was five years agee.
.I say "apparently" because .there
are signs that the National Policy is
not as cocky as it once was, Tire_have
been familiar with it forty years and
ferty years- of familiarity with. high'
protection, if it does not breed con-
tempt, breeds at least a knoWledge of
its weaknesses. As Dr. lelichkel Clark I
aptly remarks "We have at least got
the cursed thing defending itself."
e It is not likely that the Liberal party I
will lay reeking hands on the tariff—
`which commands respect as a revenue
prodacer—but neither is it likely that t
the Liberal party will get the manu-
facturers' trote which will go Conserva-
tive as usual.
The Liberals will probably indulge
.in nothing more than moderate reform
of the tariff—not because they love the
tariff mere but because they favor t
national bankruptcy less. .- Land tax
income tax, inheritance tax—all thes
are good, as far as they go- but the
don't go far enough to pay the bill
The tariff we shall have with us fo
!many years to come but we can eas
it in the ,right spote by, having free
trade in food, thoesi clothing and th
necessaries of life. I
Of course the Liberal party will no
get another leader like Sir Wilfri
Laurier—they breed hisecind only onc
in a hundred yeare—but it has isevera
- admirable 'contenders to choose from
Not a day goes by that a dark horse i
not mentioned. There' are enough dar
horses on the list right now to mak
- up a squedron of black cavalry. So
far as leaders go the party suffer
from an embarrassment of nehes.
Where so many have equal claims to
the job, somebodly's nose is apt to be
; put out of joint.
To begin With there are seiten pro
vincial premiers, any one of whom—
not to mention any -of their more
brilliant colleagues --might be pro
emoted to Ottawa. I do not think, how-
ever, that a leader will be chosen from
any of the provincial legislatures. I
am inclined to believe that the choice
of the 'convention will be an old Par-
liamentary hand with a long Ottawa
experience, andce sound record on the
tariff, and, that the stand he took on
conscription will make little difference
one way or another. He will probably
be a member of the Old Guard and the
older he is the better for that will
mean that he will drop put after a
decent interval and give the- Young
Brigade their chance.
.The Liberal party has. a very prom-
ising Young Brigade—young; that is
to say, as politiqans go—and among
those present are Mackenzie King,
Premier Martin, of Saelcatehewan Ex -
Attorney General Hudson, of Mani-
toba,, Hartley Dewart and Fred Pardee.
When the Old Guard, retires there is
a fine buneh of brigadiers ahy one of
whore might well become cominander-
in-chief. And the others who de not
bee.orrile eornmander-in-ohief, will make
brilliant lieutenants. In short,' the
Liberal' party has not only ae, leader
but a capable headquarters staff t'o
r do not need to name tver the Old
Guaed—all of them doughty fighters
—but. I repeat my pelief that one of
the Old Guard well be the next Liberal
leader, not only to keep the young
Guard quiet but to give Canada a
sizable figure of national reputation
and approved record. Several mem-
bers of the Old Guard answer this
description—Frenk Oliver, Geo, Gra-
ham, RadoIphe Lemieux, Jacques
k ` , Will am Stevens Fielding
and others. Qu bec is not disposed to

atrorite sons to sure—and they are
second to none in ability and renotrin
—bat she assents to the proposition
hat it is an -English Protestant's turn
and will make no dittculties.
I miss my guess if the chosen leader
s not from the East, because the
East has a monOpoly of wise men, but
because the Western tail isn't big

the late Sir Jobrr Macchmald, and is a
"mixer" ef no mean proportions,.
Somebody said the other day "If De
D. breezes into that eonvetnion and
gets off' three of his best stories I
think he'll capture . it hands down:"
And there isanetthittchance if D.. D.
—as he is affectionately called—wants
it which I do not believe he does. The
genial D. D. will lay his golden crown
plentifully lined with thorns, 'cheer-
fully down when the Shining. One
comes along.
Who is that Shining One-? IVIore and
more opinion here turns to W. S.
Fielding .who has all the marks that
lead the seekers to him. He is from
tb.e East, he has a national reputation;
he has done notable things for freer
trade --wide Reciprocity and the Bri-
tish Preference; he is the author of
the German Sur -time -which should be
a feather in his eap just now; he is
one of theatest armee ministers Can-
ada ever had and heaven knows a
financial expert is what this country
needs; and he is old enough not to
stand too long in the way' of that a-
spiring youth which waiter to have its
fling now that the Liberal party has
got over its unreasonable epposition to
young men in office.
*Moreover 'Mr. Fielding tame out
strongly against the budget .and in
favor of the Melitaster resolution
which is a siger that he is back where
he belongs. It is time that Mr. Field-
ing gave Sir Wilfrid Laurier a brief
-Gethsemane in 1905 on the Autonomy
Bills, but in the end he stood fast.
Quebec has forgiven him not only for
the defection he did'not ma,ke in 1905
but ter the effection he did make in
1917—if for no other reason than that
he looks like the Joshua, who is "to
lead them into the promised land.' It
is understood here that the combaina-
tion is Fielding-Gouin• with, Quebec's
strong man in the second place. At
all events the ' Quebec membere Utile

Wake coneidereelt "such. an intricate
question that it wae about as Weil for
the delinary citizen, who ,was mot

lone, but it seems to me pow that
the coneumers of Canada heve the
solution right at hand if they will,
but act in 'unison.
We aIle know that in the past.
the consumers or middle class who.
are in the timidity, have largely
occupied neutral ground- in the
conflicts between Capital and Lobor
but to my mind the time has -come for
ehe middle class' to, abandim their
neutrality, and make momeetuous de-
cision in their own intereets as well
as the Country's, and this decision
ought to be easily reached dei the face
of the challenge the consumers of
Canada has had recently in the state-
mentment at Ottawa, by Patton of
the Dominion Textile Co. -before the
comfrassion to inquire insto the high
cost of living, when the filet was
brought 'out—that his company. had
made seventyttwo per cent. profit, and
when aeked by the eounsel if he did
not think that was too big' a profit,
replied that they were not working
for the gloey of God, and that there
must be something wrong' with any
man if he did not make money during
the war. Just think of such a state-
ment which consists of brazen impu-
dence and greed, a lack of honor and
patriotism to his country, and a big
display of ignorance in making such
a statement,. When the average citi-
zen of our Deminion had contributed
generously for five weary years out
of his ihcome to help his country, and
some had dipped. so deep into that
small income in doing so, that when
the time had come when they probably
needed a new suit of clothes, they did
not buy, but instead made an inventory
of the clothes eloset, and cheerfully
thought they could do for a time, with
a clear conscience that they had been
true to their country in the years of
distress. Then comes forward this
-human hyena and says there is some-
thing wrong with us that we did not
make money when our country was
fighting for its existence. But it is said
sometimes good comes out of evil, and
I think that that evil statement should
decide the middle class to take up the
matte* and demand legislation, which
I will 'briefly summarize,
fully paid up capital, give them a
generous sinking fund -t9 ant. the
wear, and tear of the plant, also pos-
sible breakages, accidents, insurance
and taxes, and in addition a moderate
eontingency fund. After those items
had all been met, the profits over and
above to be divided on a 50750 basis
between employer and employees. No
fair minded capitalist could find fault
with such an act and it would be
beneficial to the worknian and be an
incentive to him to produce as good
an article as possible in order to hold
the trade and to .increase the output,
and he would be interested in keeping
the _plant in good ,ortler, to be always
ready to do effeettive work,

then decided to sign. thein.
en doing so, however, the Geritian
Cabinet virtually said that they ittere
doing. something dishonorable. 'These
are their words:
It appears to the Government of the,
German Republic, in consternation 'at
the last communication of the Allied
and Associated Governments that these
Governments have decided to wrest
from Germany by force acceptance of
the peace conditions, even Wiese which,
without presenthig any material sig-
nificance, aim at divesting the German
people of their honor.
No act of violence can touch the
honor of- the German People. The
German people afthr, frightful suffers
ing in these las't years, have no means
of defending themselves by external
te superior force, and with-
out renouncing in the meantime its
own view of the unheard-of injustice
of the peace conditions, the Govern-
ment of the German Republic decluees'
that it is ready to accept and sign
the peace Conditions imposed.
The implieation that this is a peace
of violence Comes with bad grace from
the Germans. Whatever violence there
is in this peace is German violence,
ineffapeably recorded in Belgium and
northern Franee, The Germans' com-
plaint that they yield to superior force
is tha same complaint .which the can-
tered criminal might make against
the police
What do the Germans mean by
honor ? They say that they are being
asked to sign away the honor of the
German people, and then they peaceed
to sign. King Albert of Belgium was
asked to sign away the honor of the
Belgium people and be refused to
sign. If the Germans really meant
what they seid, they would much pre-
fer to have German. territory overrun'
by the troops, of the Allie,s than sign
the peace terms. They know very well
that Germany would not have any such
experience from French, British, and
American troops as that a. Belgium
from the soldiers of the Kaiser, We
an perhape judge better what Ger-
ans mean by honor from theii deeds
ban from their words,
On Saturday, June 21st, German
ffieers and sailors, intrusted on their
onor with the care of the German war
citizen should take up this challenge
so impudently and heartlessly flung in o
our faces', and do his bit to have ; h
prelude to such an act, a sister eact t
ought to be passed, as outlined hethe F
hips which had been surrendered to
he Allies and were in-texhed at Scapa
low, in the Orkney Islands off Scot-',
PI* from the Obstruction of their
presence. Otherwise it really: doe
met inatter whether they are raised or
not. Naval auttiortties say that,
though they served, the , German Par -
pose of a. fleet that -could keep in
hiding, with an occasional sally at
bigle speed for short dietances, the
German war -vessels would be of little
navy as Great Britain or America or
France does. Indeed, the British .Pre -
,,posed sinking the vessels, anyway .
The French and Italians wanted these
,vessels divided uP among the, Allies,
The question is solved now, however,
and solved, we believe in manner
that leaves many compensations.
sln the 'first piece, there will be no
further occasion foe dispute on -the
matter. In the second. place, the
German navy is where it really be-
longs. In the third place, "the act of
the e*rinans in sinking their fleet,
dishonorable though it was, reveals
.that there is in the Germans the
veitige of a sense of shame and self-
respect, even if it is atrephied -and
perverted. In the fourth place, this
act serves as a fair Witibing of what
We must expect from the - Germdns
hereafter. The signature, to the peace
terms has the vial" only of the spirit
and purpose - behind it What the
Germans did at Scapa Flow is in
