Every citizen of the British Com- monwealth of Nations desires to • strengthen the ties which hind it to- gether, and the time has now come definitely to decide upon the Principles which cannot fail to render them • permanent. If these principles are sound, then the ties binding the Com- Monwealth together .wiln be strong and enduring, but if unhound; then they will be -weak and temporary.' It 1 might, however, be that when they are proved by events to be unsound 'the time for revision would be already past and that disscdution would be in- evitable. Therefore, it is of the high- est importance for Bring'. citizens, to whatever part of the Commonwealth they belong, without delay, to con- sider and decide Upon the principles by which the family of British nations shall be maintained. - . In coming to a decision it will be :well for thern to ponder the matter item all points of view. Especially must they not overlook the lessons Of the past. They must not forget that, great and powerful as the British. Commonwealth is, it might have been infinitely greater and more powerful; -indeed, that it might nav-e been so great SQ powerful as to have prevent- ed the recent war. Were the American people still members- of it the power of the British Commonwealth would be sufficiently great to prevent any nation from entering upon a war of ag-greseion such as that which has been recently inflicted upon the world. And it is essential to recollect that the break-up of the former Britieh Com- monwealth at the end of the eighteenth century- was caused by the adoption of uneounci principles by British states- men. - Nor must they forget that the recent war arose from the unsound principles held by German statesmen, who sought to promote the interests of Germany at the expense of other nations, instead of endeavourin.g to build up the 'welfare Of Germany by contributing to the well-being of other nations. Furthermore, it is essential for them to take into account the consequences of the recent' war and that the British Commonwealth will in. future hold in trust a still greater part of the world's surface, and will be responsible in a still greater measure for the general welfare. If it seeks to promote its own special interests at the expense of other nations the injury to the world. .and utimately to itself, Will be Meal- culable, but if it continues' to pursue a policy of promoting the world's well-being, them its own and the gen- eral prosperity will be "still greater in future than in the past. Prior to the recent peace the area of the British. Ernpire was nearly 13,000,000 square miles, and with the addition of the territories for which -she is to be given a mandate , under the terms of peace the extent of her territory will be searly 14,000,000 square miles, or not far short of a quarter of the entire globe. ••:* On what principles are these great territories to be administered and de- veloped ? Is their administration to be the concern of the British people alone or is it a matter of moment to all nations? Mien one considers that the territory administered by France, including the new territories, will be .somewhat over 5,000,000 square miles; that the total extent of the Italian Empire will be. no more than about 700,000 square miles, -that the German Empire will be reduced to only about 200,000 square miles, and that the United States, notwithstanding their vastness, do not cover Much more than. 3,500,000 square miles, one realizes that the position of the British Coln- monwealth is a unique one and that the principles applicable to smaller nations compelled of necessity to trade with other nations camiot be applied to a nation with territories of such vast extent. In Plain. words, the British peoplemannot regard their Dominions as their own special pre- serves, regardless of the rest of the I world. They are both extensive and too valuable for the rest of the world_ to assent to such an attitude. • It is indeed abundantly evident that the sound principles Open which the British Cornmonwealth han been built • up are the principles upon which its permanence and funire well-being de- pend. The Britiin people have for many years sought no exclusive ad- vantages from the possession of their Colonies, and the development of these has brought as mach benefit to other n.ations as it has to themselves. The British people have proved to the world that they considered themselves trustees of the vast territory for which they were responSible or the benefit of the whole rate. Had the British people acted upon different principles it is evident that in the recent war they would not have enjoyed the sympathy and assistance of' the greater part of the world in fighting against a military Power whose principles were in such marked contrast to :their own. Ger- Many desired colonial empire in order to promote her own wealth and to render her military and naval strength still greater, hoping to ex- ercise over the vAOrld that domination whieh she had Ita-gely succeeded in exerting in Europe. On the other hand, the policy of the British_ Com- monwealth has been to foster her own well-being by promoting the well-being .of all nations and to obtain a small participation in the immense expan- sion of the world's income resulting therefrom. This 'policy has caused the British people not to confine their beneficent actiVcties to the British Empire in the matter of production or of trade. Their policy has been to supply' capital freely to every nation that could -give the requisite security. The only distinction they made, and that was instinctive, not designed, was that capital was supplied at a lower rate of interest to their own Colonies and Dominions than to foreign coun- tries, Ine.ause of the Wed relation- ihip, which caused "them to regard their capital as safer in their own Colonies and possessions. 'AUGUST ,29, 1919 In pursuance - of this policy the Brit- ish people bad stipplied, prior to the war, no less than $4,000,000,000 of capital to the rest of the world, of which almost one-half was invested in the British Dominions and rather more than half in foreign countries. There were no limitations and no re- strictions. Every nation that needed capital and could convince the British people it would be advantageously eine ployed had its needs satisfied. And in no small degree was this enlightened policy responsible for the six or sevenfold expansion in the world's income during the past century. Then what principles should govern the future policy of Great Britain and her Dominions? Shall they now seek to grow, svealthy at the expense of other ,nations? Shall they seek grow rich by endeavouring to ke their wealth to themselves and doi what in them lies to prevent the expa sion in the well-being of other nation Shall they try to grow rich ny ere ing a peeferential tariff wall areu the entire! British Commonweal which Willi keep ell the mutual sources, of their vast territories, well as their manufactured goods, f their own use? Or - shall they gr rich by not only developing the weal of the great territories they no possess, but also by assisting to pr mote the production of natuiral weal wherever it can ,be found, wheth within the British Empire or in forei • countriie, as well as by excheegin without obstacle or bindrance, t wealth produced within the.Empire f the wealth produced by other nations No .one can doubt what their fate wi be if they seek to pursue the fir policy. If the British. Comrnonwealt with the vast Dominions in Tits posse sion, were to adopt the pry of th British Empire for the British. i fate, sooner or later, would be. Witho doubt sintilar to that which has be fallen: the German people. The nation that' enjoy no great dominion's have right to participate in the friuts the earth wherever they can be foun and should any nation refuse to re cognize that right and seek to monop olize the ‘bountiful gifts which Natur has, placed. at its disposal its fa will be sealed. And the democracies he world would not have tbe least dif ficulty in maintaining and enforcin heir legitimate claims.- No nation however •powerful, can in these day ucceeisfully oppose the world's publi pinion, as Germany has learned, an a other nations will discover ghoul hey venture to place themselves i pposition to the world's democracies( The -disadvantage Of such a coups .obvious -not only -to •persons ho have been convinced of the wis om of this nation- in the past, bet t veryone conscious of the growin ower of world opinion. The curren f world affipirs is Compelling indi idual nations and groups of nation o become less and less insular,. an Ay nation or group of nations tha uns counter to the interests of all th est of the world would invariably in ite destruction.' No one with a know edge of world affiairs and of world pinion can contemplate the piospee f the creation of 'a preferential tariff all round the British Empire withou eelings of anxiety amounting almos o consternation. It is true that the ritigh -Dominion's have given pre- erence to the Mdther Country ut ' in practise this preference as so far been found to be n illusion. The growth of the trade f the United States with Canada, rior to the war, wae infinitely great - r than _was the growth of the trade f Great Britain with Canada.. This as, of course. as it should be. The nited States is in close proximity to anada, and if Canada can purchase ore economically from its neighbor an from Great Britain she ought to 0 so rather than that goods should conveyed thousands of miles when ey .can be procured locally. Again, spite of the Preference •which ustralia gave to Great Britain her ports from foreign nations grew ueh in proportion to sthe growth in ports from Great Britain, and this eference too was largely illusory. The action of c;reat Britain in grant - g Preference to her Dominions, were seriouOy intended, would, however, a very different matter. Fortun- ely, the Preference so far is of no ry great importance; indeed, it areely affects our trade with the! eat British overseas communities. e Preference, in order to be effect - e would have to be imposed not up- gends which Great, Britain herself educes to any great extent, but up - the goods which the other nations the world produce, more particular - the Ueited,ntates„ Russia and South merica. It will be obviounthat were e British people to ,exclude by any stem Of Preference the produce of se conntries her own welfare would eive a tblow from Which 'it would t recover. Hitherto the prosperity. the British people as been mains ned because on the one hand they ve been able to purchase the 'goods d produce they needed from ,every ntry that could supply them, and ause, on the other hand, they have n able to dispose of their own pro.. tions to any and every country t could purchase thein, t is of very greet importance that British Dominions should realize. t any interference- With the position Great Britain as ist World market on al terms for all nations, or any triction upon her activities as rld banker, or any curtailment in number of markets available for •dale of her own goods, would not ly injure the • British people, but uld most seriously injure the Brit - Dominions. What the latter need ve ,all things are population and ital; the former comes to them in from the surplus population of at Britain and in part from. the phis populations of other nations. come winch the British people receive from al the world, and 'if that income Fo 3 is curtailed thee the aniount of capital which Great Britain ean supply to he Dominione win be cosmespondingly re- duced. Were the ineoine of Great Britain to suffer from the restriction of her activities to the British Empire it is certain that she would be unable to provide the Dominions with the capital they need for their development and not only would her own prosperity come to an old, but the wonderful ex- pansion in the wellebeing of her Do- minions would also ceese. The Brit- ish Comenon,wealth has grown wealthy by the far-sighted policy which Great Britain. has puesued the past on basing national evelfare upon world well-being, and it •ie of vital import- ance to the Commenwealth that this to policy should' not be changed. One ep has only to look back to the success Slig of the policy to realiie how extra- n-• ordinary fruitful of good it has been- ? to all concerned, and how during the et- recent war it has greatlir assisted nd the world to surmount a situation of th exceptional danger. To change that re- beneficent policy just at the moment as when other nations have begun to re - or cognize its supreme efficacy is a ow -course to which the British people •th ought not to assent.' • THE -VETERAN'S' THANKS The Seaforth Branch of the W.

Dear Expositor:—It was with sor- row I read in the columns of 'your issue of August 15th, an *account of the death of Mr. Solomon J. Shannon, formerly one of our neighbors of the eighth concession of Mc4illop in the days of long ago and I take this op- portunity to extend to his family, relatives arid friends my syninathy in this their hour of deep sorrow. Friend Solomon, as in my memory I liked to r4call him, is the last of that grand band of pioneers who hailed from the° British Isles and resided on the 8th and 9th concessions of McKillop in the near neighborhood where I was born and Went to school, and who took up lands in the then trackless wilder- ness where then roamed unmolested wandering bands of Indians and wild animals, including the bear, wolf deer and ethers, and who by indomitable energy and hard work converted these virgin forests into beautiful • farms and homes and suffered at first all the privations mid hardships incident- al to pioneer life. bid good-bye to Mr. Shannon -in April, 1882and little dreaming at that time it would be the last sad farewell for all earthly time. With melancholy sorrow I re- call those days of "Auld Lang Syne" and that splendid band of pioneers, who to the best of my knowledge, have' all joined the silent majority. May all reverence be paid to their memories. • On Saturday, August 16th, in Duluth was "Welcome Home Day" for the soldier boys. By proclamation of Mayor C, R. 'Magney it was pro- claimed a holiday. All -business was asked. to close and everybody asked to am turn out and give the boys the wel- wi come of their lives, and this request 88 certainly was obeyed to the letter. For a week or more previously a large wh number of workmen had been busily wi ' Holiday Dance E The Blackstone -Buckley g Orchestra will give a Hol- E •=-iday Dance in Jowett's g Pavilion, Bayfield, on Monday eve'g, Sept. lst = Labor Day • E...." 4Ime...fisINsor but this did not narnpen the en- thusiainn of the tens of thousands who participated in and were spec- • tators of the festivites of the day. The parade' commenced shortly before 3 p.m. and was a most stupendous and. magpifieent affiair, the greatest in i Duluth's history. Societies of all kind were represented. Bands of ' music were plated some distances a- part to liven up things. It was esti- mated 1,2,000 persons were in theyar- ade, and 200 floats were in line many 'gall and re r ti I d y p esen ve y reseed, and suggesting much in connection with the late world war. The costumes and dresses worn by hundreds of young women and girls in the parade would almost defy description. It certainly showed a carnival spirit, one hundred per cent. strong. The parade was two and a half miles long. The line of march along First and -Superior Sts. , was one solid jams of humanity, and every one seemed to be in good humor and enjoying themselves. Everything was free to. Uncle Sam's boys and the boys of the Allied nations, includhig ice cream, coffee, doughnuts, fruits and other refreshments and smokes. The merry go round and other devices of 'amusement were free to them and at their disposal. They certainly enjoy- -4 themselves and appreciated it and we're svelcome. At 6.30 p.m: dancing commenced on West First Street and was spread over several block, bands playing at every corner. •The side- • walks and street for blecks was one jammed mass of onlookers and dancers the like of, which was never seen here before. This continued until. midnight and it ended as a' perfect day for the 'soldier, sailor and the marine who had done his part in the great war, and along with the Allied soldiers and sailors had won the war and saved liberty, freedom •And civilization. for all people and nations. ,Your truly, Robert McNaughton, MIDDLE SCHOOL EXAMS The candidates named below,, under counties, have passed the Middle School examination for entrance into the Normal Schools.
