THE IIUROrsi EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTII, Friday, Nov. 21st 1919:
THE DEGRADATION OF
PARLIAMENT
The degradation of Parliament is
coraplete. A Governntent thet no
longer represents the country, which
has no mandate for the laws it now
is forcing through, is enabled, by the
simple process of packing the jury
box, to secure a verdict in its favor.
But it is not Parliament only which
is involved in this breach in our consti-
tution. The Opposition is a recogniz-
ecl part of the machinery of govern-
ment. It is not enough that this Op-
position should enter a protest against
the autocratie action of the Executive
and then remain to assist the latter
in carrying on the - government a the
country. The time has come for
stronger action unless the Liberal
Party, too, is dead to the voice of the
people and willing to extend the life
of the present Parliament. There is
one way only in which the Opposition
can save its honor and reputation and
that is by withdra-wing from a House
which no longer represents the nation.
Millions of the peoples' iraney has
been voted away by a Parhaea it that
comes, practically. with empty hands
to the returned soldiers. Over a mil-
lion has been wasted on a Session call-
ed ostensibly for the purpose of ratify-
ing the Treaty, but in reality as a
Government sop to followers who de-
manded an increase in the sessional
indemnity which the Government dare
not openly grant. Millions more have
been amassed by well known politi-
eians who have sPeculated on the safe
passage of the Grand Trunk -deal. Al!
these things are undermining the con-•
fidertee of the public in. our parlia-
mentary institutions, Instead of stay.-
ing by the wreck of the Union Gov-
ernment, and thereby giving to it a
semblance of authority it no longer
possesses, the Liberal Opposition
should decline to be a partieipator in
the extra sessional indemnity, • and
should appeal from Borden to - the
people. Every day the Opposition
lingers in, the House and lends sanc-
tion to the crime of unconstitutional
government, it is digging its own po-
litical grave in the constituencies. No
one bothers any longer what Parlia-
ment may say or do. The average
elector has made up his mind definitely
to put an end to all who make such
a farcical form of government pos-
sible. The leader of the Opposition
woulct strengthen his hold on the con-
fidence of the electors, if he and those
he leads made a dignified exit from
a Parliament which, in all but name,
has ceased to be the Parliament of the
Dominion of Canada. The country is
waiting for a dramatic lead.—The
Statesman.
THE WORLD'S WAR LOSSES
The first comprehensive report on
the "Direct and Indirect Costs of the
War" has just been made by the
Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace and published in a volume un-
der that title.
-The direct costs for countries ac-
tually involved in the war are pat
at $186,Q00,000,000 and the indirect
costs at $151,61.2,542;560.• •The' tat: -
ter total includes losses to neu-
trals, which are put at $1,750,000,-
000. It also includes loss of produc-
tion put at $45,000,000,000, and war
relief estimated at $1,000,000,000.
The capitalized value of soldier
human life. also given among, the
indirect costs is placed at $33,531,-
276,280. The property losses are di-
vided as follows: Ori land, $29,960,-
000,000; to shipping and cargo, $6,-
800.000,000.
The report, which was gathered
by Ernest L. Bogart, professor, of.
economics in the University of Il-
linois, irr estimating the "capitalized
value of human life," fixes the worth
of the individual at figures ranging
from $2,020 in Bulgaria. Turkey,
Greece, Japan. Roumania, Serbia and
several other countries, up to ..4,720
for the United States, where the econ-
omic worth of the individual, to the
nation is placed at the highest.
An additional $f33,351,000 000 is
allowed for civilian losses. Although
many of the hitter were of children
and old persons, the estimate .given
for. the civilian loss is 'believed to be
conservative.
The number of lelown dead is
placed at P:958,771. and the missing
presumed to be dead ati2.991.800. To
the losses from deaft and wounds
there is added "those resulting from
disease, pestitence, privatior.. hard-
ship, physical exhaustion and similar
causes."
'STATES REJECTS PEACE TREATY
After a desperate Parliamentary
struggle.. the UniteA States Senate,
just before ten olel•g:k WedneseLay
rOght, by e. vote of 51 to .41. rejected
the Treety of Peace with Germany •
by defeating the Lodge resolution with
the draitie re4E-rvations of the Foreign
Relations Committee -majority.
The defeat zrf the treaty was brought
:about by Adminiitration Deinderats,
aided by eieht of the irreeoncilables
among the Republicans. Earlier in the
night the Senate; by a vote of 55 to
39. had defeated the Lijdge resoln-
tion. It came up again, however, after
tvarious Parliamentary moves, -daring
States, this being done so as to pave
the way for an independent treaty
with Germany.
Inasmuch as the House had ad-
journed sine die, the Lodge resolution
had to go over until the next session
of this Congress, which meets De-
cember lst.
President Wilson, it was stated by
Leaders, might withdraw the treaty
and resubmit it at the next session of
Congress, after December ist. If this
were done, Senator Lodge said, the
opponents of the treaty without re-
servatioes undoubtedly -Would take
exactly the same attitude that they
did Wednesday night
"The treaty .is dead, through the
votes of the Denaocratic minority,"
said Senator Lodge. "They` stub-
bornly refused compromise when it
could have been made. The op-
portunity was gone,' once the Sen-
ate reached the voting stage." .
The general sentisaent seemed to
be that there was only a slenyier
chalice that the treaty would come
up at the beginning of the next ses-
sion of Congress next month.
One effect of the Senate's failure
to ratify the treaty will be the con-
tinuation of various war -time laws
and regulations at -least until the
new .session opens. Among these is
the War -time Prohibition Act.
The resolution presented Wednes-
day night to declare a state of peace
will COME) up at the beginning of, the
new session, and is expected to staxt
another stubborn fight. The Admin-
istration is understood to be oppos-
ed to such a method of legally end-
ing the war, and in the background
is a constitutional question. as to
whether Congress can do so by a
resolution) net yequiring the Presi-
dent's signature.

MAKING NEW CANADIANS •
. Thirty-nine young Canadiens march-
ed up ,and down the 1 yard of
a country school in. Northern Manitoba
and took their marching orders
from a sergeant -major of fourteen
years. They went through the man-
ual exercise as precisel7 as a regi-
ment of trained soldiers, and when
they were through with it they pass-
ed in'ftle into the school house. The
day's work indoors began with some
singing, in English, and the instruc-
tion during the -day, as every day,
was also in English. Yet a year ago
not one of the young folk in that
school could speak or understand a
word of the language. .
All through the prairie West the
Canadianization of the foreign -
speaking people is being given an in-
creased amount of attention, and in
many cases with •.surprisingly good
results. What has been done in that
one Manitoba school is being done
in many others in that province and
in Saskatchewan. and Alberta. With
or without military drill, the lemon
of British patriotism is being (len

the new plans of the Education De-

munity life and betterment. In' the

halls for lectures, concerts, and such
like. A grant of fifty per cent. of
the cost of equipment for movable
and adjustible seats will be made
to each ,rural school district, up to a
maximtun. of $250, and In thisway
it is hoped to encourage the country
people to use their schools as real
centres of social. welfare.
Saskatcbiewan will try the plan ot
stocking some of its schools in non;
English - communities with news-
pispers and raagazines. Grafanolas
will also be reconimended to the trus-
tees as a means of cultivating the
children's taste for good music and
oratory, and wherever practicable
sewing machines will be installed for
the girls. Libraries will be establish -
in the foreign schoole of Manitoba by
the Daughters of the Empire, as war
memorialt to the fallen. -
Some of the rural districts of Sas-
katchewan, where the non-English
population is dominant, have -never
before had winter schools, but the
experiment has proved a success, and
will likely be continued. In all euelt
case's an effort is being made to -cul-
tivate community spirit and to use
the school as a real source of social
betterment. Here is a report from a
teacher in one such school that
shows how the plan is working out:
"We opened salool about the mid-
dle'of Jan,uary. It is the first time
they have ha4 a winter school in this
Ruthenian district. I have about
thirty' enrolled, and twelve aro det-
tending night school *four evenings
if:week. On February 1 we held our
first social evening. I was agreeably
surprised to find the people so neatly
dressed. Two other English teachers
assisted me. We played games, and
later danced. I was WO& faVerahlY
impressed with the manner in which
all appreciated our efforts to en-
tertain them. They used English
quite freely throughout tho..-Troning,"
