AUGUST 19. 1915 EDITORIAL NOTES The extent to which immigration has fallen off as a result of the war is in- dicated by a booklet published to -day by the Immigration Department. It shows that only 141,789 immigrants arrived in the Dominion in the year 1914-15- From Great Britain 43,276 newcomers came as compared with 142.622 the previous year, and from the United States 59,779 as compared with 107,53b in 1013-14. Orders placed in Canada by the Brit- ish Government in reference to war supplies and now executed or under ex- ecution total the vastsum of $230.000,- 000, according to an official statement issued Monday, in which details are given of the different articles purchas- ed and their amounts. The Trade and Commerce Department is also collect- ing information as to orders placed in the Dominion by the Allies. And all the time that there are rumors of `peace talk,> from Germany the Keiser's forces are on the offensive on the west front, making air raids on England, and endeavoring to crush the Russian, in the east. The only time to take peace proposals seriously is when they emanate from the Allies. The sacrifice has been too great to expect the Allies to desist whenever Germany should be inclined to cry "enough." How can Germany hope for an "honor- able" peace. The Kaiser and Prussian - ism must be crushed. Ottawa Journal:—Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who rarely speaks on any subject with- out contributing sorne fine thought or picturesque phrase, did not fail in his address Sunday in his native town when he proclaimed:— "If anyon3 here has the men- tality to say that this war is not our business, and that Canada is not vitally concerned, I can only say that it is not my mentality. It is a war of absolutism against liberty. If you have liberty at heart, how can any of you say it is not our business?" "If I were young enough myself," he declared, "I, too, would be in the firing line, and share the honor and privilege of fighting for that for which the Union Jack stands — justice, tolerance and liberty." These are words which deserve a warm welcome in Canadian hearts. Canada has not dealt in billions of dollars and millions of men, but Cana- da has nevertheless made commensur- ate war sacrifices in money, suffering and blood. The temper of the Canadian soldiers has already been proven and app_oved in the theatre of war, but the same bravery of the home people in facing a rapidly rising public debt has had a much less spectacular setting. France, England and even Belgium are fighting and making sacrifices—but no greater sacrifices in proportion—in the midst of a struggle that actually threat- ens their existence, but Canada is giv- ing lavishly of her best blood and mon- ey and without any thought that physic- ally at least she is in danger from the Teuton. Both life and money are more precious, too, to a country just entering upon a period of national development. Canada is giving humanity one of the real returns of a frightful war. It is the triumph of the pure't patriotism and unselfish devotion to the mother country. —Chicago Tribune. PRESS CENSORSHIP The Times is in receipt of an import- ant pamphlet from the government giving information what should not be printed in regard to the war. The pamphlet is of a strictly confid- ential character and intended for the personal information of the newspaper men who are responsible for what ap- pears in their respective publications and who are warned that it should be carefully guarded and not allowed to get into the hands of persons for whom itis not intender:. Onrreaders can appreciate the impor- WHY _YOU ARE NERVOUS The nervous system is the alarm system of the *human body.

WHY IS IT? Why is it, it, is often asked, that people in small towns can find no better business than prying into other people's business, and then exaggerating the truth in regard to the same. People who pretend to be Christians, who et - tend church regularly, who, in the sight of their church neighbors are generous and charitable, yet who, without the slightest provocation, pick up some little mistake, or more often at nothing will so scandalize one as to ruin his or her reputation for life. While they would not steal from them worldly goods, yet they rob him or her of what is more precious than gold —a good re- putation. Why can't people practice the Christianity that they preach and "do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" MR. ROWELL'S PROPOSAL. Mr. Rowell's proposal liquor osal on the ]i nor question after his return from the West, where he saw the marked development in temperance feeling and legislation, has aroused keen interest and is sere to re -open the definite question of what to do with the liquor traffic in Ontario. Mr. Rowell's proposals are as follows: 1. Let the Ontario Government close all drinking places by legislative action, for example, as the Government of Saskatchewan has done. 2. Failing this„ let the Government at least give the people of Ontario the opportunity to say themselves whether or not they do want the liquor traffic abolished as the people of Alberta have done. 3. Let the Government act quickly. For instance, the people• could vote on the question at the same time as the next Municipal elections. The Govern- ment could call the House to sit in November and the necessary legislation could be passed at that time. LABOR ORGANIZATION IN CANADA -- o The effect c ofthe war on trade union growth is shown Canadian in a de- crease of membership, the loss being 9,646 according to the fourth annual report on Laboar Organization for the year 1914 stood approximately at 166,- 163. The membership for each of thh past four years, as reported to the De- partment, has been as follows: 1911, 133,132; 1912, 160,120; 1913, 175,799; 1914, 166,163. The membership in 1914 of internat- ional organizations operating in Can- ada was 140;482, members of non -inter- national bodies numbered 20,935 and 4,- 746 belonged to independent unions. The report shows that the trade unions furnished in all 3,498 recruits and 417 reservists for the war, these figures not ,including recruits joining the forces since January 1915. Of the 102 international bodies whose activities extend into the Dorainion, 79 have benefit features on a varying scale. The total disbursements during 1914 by the various international organ- izations amounted to $12,837,987, being divided for each class of benefit as follows: Death benefits, $8,864,731; strike benefits' $1,053,350; sick benefits, $90:1,353; accident benefits, $635,580; old age pensions, $266,395; unemployed benefits, $97,392; travelling benefits, $47,286. Of the non -international bodies three reported having made payments on ac- count of benefits, the total disburse- ments amounting to $8,266,75, Mit FIELDING HITS BACK. Hon. W. S. Fielding, who as Minister of Finance in the Laurier Administration was a prominent figure in the reci- procity negotiations of 1911, is now editor of The Montreal Journal of Com- merce, and some remarks in that publication a few days ago indicate that he ie enjoying the opportunity of getting back at the men who four years ago accused him of selling out to the United States because he tried to arrange mutually advantageous trade re.ations between Canada and the 1te- publw. The Journal of Commerce says: The Bank of Montreal, the chief bankerfthe u Dominion n n Government, ,. ass,st d the Minister of Finance TA the operation of borrowing forty-five million dollars from the once despised Y eel c'es, and in speaking of the loan the general neral manager of the Bank, Sir 1 re :(rick Willigms-Taylor, is thus re- r;orttd by the New York Sun: "Sir Frederick spoke with gratifica- tion yesterday of the good feeling between the two countries that would. be promoted by the conclusion of the loan. He said; that the friendship al- ready existing would be further stimu- lated through the loan negotiation, and that the two countries promised to be drawn closer together." These will seem to many readers, as they do to us, very excellent sentiments, which do honor to Sir Frederick. But surely that eminent banker must have some recollection of a time not very long ago, when the expression of a de- sire that the two countries should be "drawn closer together" in business affairs was declared by a large number of people knot unknown to the Minister of Finance) to be a policy of selling the birthright of the Canadian people, a be- trayal of the interests of the Dominion, a diversion of Canadian trade to north and south lines instead of east and west, and a disloyalty to King and Empire. It must he both saddening and alarm- ing to these good people to find that Canada is again at "the parting of the ways," and is being made an "adjunct" of Mr. Morgan's American banking in- terests. THE POULTRY BREEDERS' O. PORTUNITY Canada in past years has imported more poultry and more _ eggs than she has exported. Yet her production has materially increased, but it has failed to keep pace with the consumption. In twenty years the egg production, developed from 64,499,241,dczen to 123,- 071,034 dozen, but the consumption in- creased from 11.8 per capita to 17.39. That is to say the individual Y ndi v fondness for eggs had increased over fifty per cent. The population grew in those twenty years, or from 1891 to 1911, a" - cording to the census, from 4,833,239 to 7,204,838, an increase of 2,371,599, and the egg production mounted up 58,- 571,703 dozen. In spite of this fact, and although the exports fell about to zero, 2,378,640 dozen had to be import- ed. In the same time the number of poultry in Canada grew from 12,696,701 to 29,548,723. Here again, although the increase was close upon thirteen million, the imports exceeded the ex- ports in value to the amount of $111,- 696. Last year, the excess of imports of eggs over exports reached the virtually enormous total of 11,140,106 dozen, while of poultry in 1914 we exported in value $206,370, but we imparted $406,- 366, a difference against us of $190,396. These figures, striking as they are, and almost impossible asthey seem, are yet official, being taken from Pamphlet No. 7, of the Poultry' Division, of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, entitled, "The Egg and Poultry Situa- tion in Canada, with notes upon the possible effect of the war upon the Development of the Industry," by W. A. Brown, B',S,A., M.S,, and can be verified on application for the pamphlet to the Publications Branch, Depart- ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. The statistics given in the pamphlet are both phenomenal and interesting. No other articles of food have shown an increase in popularity. 'At the, same time prices generally have increased and been well sustained. Mr. Brown does not undertake to explain thephen- omena, but contents himself with prov- ing that it is so and that the increase in every particular;is common to all the pro-:inces. He also gives particulars of imports of poultry into Great Britain, which in 1913 amounted in value to $5,- 411,684, of which Russia supplied $1,- 640.923, the United States $999,890, Austria Hungary $170,767, Italy $410,- 902, China $219,472, Egypt $130,300, Holland $121,739, Belgium $108,268, Norway $68.960, Germany $58,005 and Canada. seemingly, nil. From the foregoing figures and the general condition of things in Europe, Mr. Brown arrives at the conclusion that Britain will this year be short of eggs and poultry to the amount of a million and a half of dollars, or of eggs alone to the sum of one hundred million dozen. Every Canadian producer should endeavour, therefore, to produce this year more and better eggs and poultry than ever before.
