Great Britain. The Italian dictator
is not likely to succeed; but Canada
has been placed in a very humiliating
position. Better to have taken the
risk of future complications than to
throw a bomb into the league camp
at this juncture.
The view that Canada is not di-
rectly interested in She
pian quarrel quarrel is- narrow :and unjusti-
fied. Canada is -deeply interested in
the peace 'of the world. She is s'till
more deeply interested in the main-
tenance of the 'prestige of the British
Empire, which provides more than
half her trade, and !gives this Bowfin-
ion her international standing. 'The
collective system -provided by 'the
League of Nations, -which Britain is
endeavouring to make effective, With
prospect of success, is the only me,
thod that gives promise of putting
restraint on the ssgga'essive military
powers. Both as a member of the
League and of the Commonwealth
Canada should 'be ' ready to 'assume
her responsibilities. The last thing
she should do is to-vea'cen the front
against war.
Should the effort to prevent iVlus-
solini ,from' entering on a career of
imperial conquest ultimately involve
military measures, Canada's position
admittedly .will be difficult, because
of the isolationist attitude of. Quebec.
The only solution, probably, would 'be
to allow those 'Canadians who were
bent on going to the help of the.

GOVEiR1iTi1tuamr TRACES CANADA
IN 'HUMILIATING POSITION '
Canadians lane learned -something
during the past week as to the deli.
nate nature sif ,international rela-
tions. As was remarked in these
columns last week, it was the Cana-
dian delegate to the League of Na-
il:lon;3; - Dr. Riddell, who ;suggested
that sanctions on oil, coal and steel
should be imposed against Italy.
Faced with the threat that oil ,ganc-
tions might lead to military Aiepsds-
als, the Canadian Government this
Week repudiated Dr.. Riddeli's nation.
The Ikon. Ernest Lapointe, Acting
Premier, issued a statement that :Dr..
Riddell had spoken "personally" and,
not for the ;Government. Dr. Riddell
has since been transferred to a post
in South America.
Dr. Riddell may have been injudie
ious in taking the initiative in pro-
posing drastic sanctions, in view of
the delicate political situation • in
Canada. ' But if Dr. Riddell made a
mistake, ldr. Lapointe was guilty of
a first class blunder. His object
probably was to keep Canada's hands
free in-, case sanctions should event,
pate' in war. But the Government
might have taken . some less violent
and more diplomatic way of provid-
ing against the now remote contin-
gency. As it is, they have given, aid
and countenance to the world's pub-
lie enemy. As was to be anticipated,
Mussolini is using the Canadian
statement to try to drive 'a wedge in-
to the League front, and to weaken
THANKED FOR. SLAPPING
PAL'S FACE
An amusing incident that took
place at the town hall one morning
last week, is the story of the man
who slapped his, pal's face and ,was
thanked for doing it.
The two men had been out in the
yard cutting wood and were waiting,
for the chief to make out their meal
tickets. One of them began to
,stretch and then opened his mouth
in bne of those delightfully long sat.
isfying yawns that give a person
that "Oh so comfortable" feeling.
The yawn ended, but the man's
mouth remained open, and he was
trying to say something. Finally
the words were distinguished. "Hit
it. hit it!" His jaw had become stuck,
so entllusiastic was his yawn. His
buddywho was' standing near, drew
back his hand and landed a resound-
ing blow on the side of the °ther'e
face. It didn't work. He repeated
the performance and, this time the
jaw went back into place andthe re-
cipient of the slap murmured a
gruff "thanks," at the sane time
thinking perhaps that the job might
have been done with a 'little less en
ergy being used ,and 'without the
accompanying grin on ` 'his friend's
face,•--Goderich' Star.

'. Presenting the financial] statement
of Huron` County at - Wednesday
morning's session Treas. A. H. Ers-
kine predicted that next year Huron
County would be in a position to pay
the balance of the highway accpunt,
allow the county highways :an addi-
tional one-fifth of a mill• and hold to
the present rate of 51/a mills.
"These reports indicate that the
county is continuing, to liquidate its
debt and at the end of 1936 should
show nothing but the balance of
highway debentures to pay," said Mr,'
Erskine. "In view of the fact that
the tax rate has been lowered it aug-
urs well for the county."
The general account from. January
1 to November 30 showed receipts of
$107,533.23 " a,n,d expenditures of
$109,804.65; estimated receipts, "$143,
637,79; estimate dexpenditures, $146.-
193.91; estimated deficit, $2,556.12.
In estimating the expenditures Mr::
Erskine ; said ' he had estimated $70o
for jury service, which : may not he
expended. All .other estimates were
inclined to be high.
The county highways statement
showed receipts of $167,2$8.41 and
expenditures of $167,415.93, with a
bank overdraft of $127.52.
Communications Received
,A letter from the Canadian Bankers
Association with regard to a letter
of June 13' outlined the views of Lin-
coln County to the effect that a low-
er borrowing rate of interest should
be accorded to the county and town-
ships therein. The county's finance
committee is advised to take the mat-
