ME WAR SITUATION
The situation on. the Italian front

the Tagliamento River, where the
Italians made their first stand after

_ passes and positione which they
had gained only after months of tre-
menduops effort, has had to be aban-
doned owing to increased pressure by
the: enenty. The Italian armies are
now failing back upon the plains of
Venetia to a new and shorter line of
defence. Order, however, has been
restored since the first wild rush and
substantial aid has been sent by both
France and Britain to the. hard press-,
ed Italians. Where this assistance of
the Ailies will be used will not be
closed. until it is actually on the fir-
ing line, but it is there and its apt
pearanee has greatly heartened- not
only the army'but the Italian
Where Ale final. stand of the Italians
will be made is not now known, but
when1tcontes we are encouraged to
believe that it will effectually, stay
the Teutonic advance and may ouite
Possibly bring disaster them upon it.i
The real causes that led up to the
Italian disaster, are, of course, not
blown outshie of the general staff,
and perhaps not all .of them there,
but there is grave cause ;to fear that
German intrigue and perhaps Gernian
gold had a good 4:eat te do with it.
Certin it is that the blow came at
a point hi fact the only point, where
success, could be obtained and if was
delivered with a confidence and suc-
cess that would seem to call foi‘ some
inside information.
On the. western front the situation
is decidedlyi more hopeful, we might
say elating. The pressive being
brought to ,bear on the Germans is
meeting% with results every day. On
Tuesday it,culminated in the capture
- of the fortified town -of Passchendaele,
lying north-east of Ypres, the most
vital of all the remaining defences
held by the Germans on the ridge of
heights of that name. This big task
was entrusted to the Canadian troops,
and like: other undertakings that fair
to their' lot, they carried it with a
dash and completeness that left no-
thing to be desired. The enemy had
been. ordered to hold this important
position at all cost, and.prisoners tak-
en by the Canadians were all seasoned
soldiers, well fed, and well clothed,
showing that the Germaas had mann-
ed their defences with their best. The
Germps' best, hot -fever, is not good
enough for the Canadians. The en-
tire ridge system of German defences,
is not yet in British hands. and may
not be for weeks, but the recent Can-
adian success shows the uurelenting
pressure the Allies are exerting on the
Germans. There is no doubt bat that
the Germans wold like to see the
Italian situation result in the calling
off of the struggle in Flanders. The
very opposite, however, is laappehing.
The more the Gerrnans venture into
Italy, the greater, the presure that
is exerted ami Germany will shortly
find her highly, prized coast positions
in imminent anger.dNo successes
that Germany can 'win in. Russia or
Italy will end the war for the Allies.
On the other hand no matter what
other successes she gains, if Germany
loses her coastposittions, which will
mean a general retreat of her armies
en the western front she is beaten.
The Italian , tituation is creating
many arid lie's, difficultieo for the Al-
lies, but it has eot shaken the grip
they- have obtained on the Germans in
Flanders and it is in Flanders that
the decision of the war wM be reached.
On Saturday last British destroyers
sank a German auxiliary cruiser arm-
ed with six inch guns and ten amted
patrol craft in the Cattegat, an arm of
the North 43i..-t.t. between Sweden and
Denmark. This is not the first en-
gagement by any it:eane that has been
fought in thees waters, but it is the
first that British destroyers armed
with four inch guns have eni;_aged
et uisers, armed with six ineh guns and

THE LAURIER MAN/FESTO.
Si? Wilfrid Laurier has !lisped hiie
manifesto. Insia document adressed
"Te the Canetdieri People" the Oppos-
ition leader (*hires ihis :policy and
outlines his aims in.Part as fellows:
On . the all-important question of
participiation in the hvar, Sir Wilfrid
claims that "a fundarrientei objection
to the Gevernment's polity of con-
scription is that it conscripts human
life only, and does not attempt to
conscrnit wealth, resources, or. the
services of any persons other than
those who come within the age limit
preteribed by the Military Service
Ate. t •
The first duty of a Laurier' Admin.-
istration would be "to find the 'men,
raciness and resources necessary to
Sure the fullest meature of support to
our 1 twee soldier's at the front,. and
to enable Canada to continue to the
very find to do her -splendid part to
wtt! the war." ti
To thie Sir Wilfrid adds:
"As to thespresent Military Service
Act, my policy will be not to proceed
farther under its provisions until the
people have an opportunity to pro-
nounce upon it by way of refereeduni.
pledge myself forthwith to suhinit
the act to the people, and with my
followers to carry out the Wishes of
the malorly of the nation as thus ex-
pressed."
As remedies for an economic, situ-
ation "which is admittedly critical,"
Sir Wilfrid oromises:
"Tariff ireforin. Control of food
sfinnlies and prices. Stop. to profi-
teering"
The two increases in the tariff made
since the beginning of the Wer he
would remove. These are: 7% per cent
on all commodities .coming into Can-
ada from outside Great Britain, and 5
per cent. on goods coming. front Great
Britain. He also "would immediately
remove the duties on egricultural im-
plements and other essentials as de-.
mended by the W tern. farmers.'
In connection yth the high cost of
livinghewould "take drastic steps to
bring under Government controlII
feodproducing factories so 'That. food
Mit be sold at.a fixed price Under the
control of the Government)' •
If satisfaetory arrangements could
not be made with the food producing
factories, Sir Wilfrid declares, he
would not heeitateito commandeer. The
Manifesto proceeds:
"One of the most iraportant contri-
butions towards winning the war is to
put a stop to profiteering on war sup-
plies. The Government has deliber-
ately encouraged profiteering for the
benefit of its partisae. followers. A
first duty of my administration would
be to insure to the eountrywhich' pays
for war supplies theexceds of exorbi-
tant profits being realized by pro-
fiteers."
If -necessary, Sir Wilfrid contin.ues,
would not hesitate to. till-- feel-
ta•ol of the factories engaged el ;lle
supply of war materials
Suitable govermient shot* also,Sie
Wilfrid believet, should be turned to,
the production of War materials at
.cost prices.
t
e$ Wilfrid misiestiit review alike
some. of the legislation- of the late
Government and the program of the
present. He finds no trace in the man-
ifesto of the Union. Go-vernment that
its Liberal meet -ibises have infleenced
their colleagues to the.'Adoption Of
measures they deemed. essential. He
refers to "most of the articles" *that
manifesto as "stale commonplaces

tion."
Be declares of the War Times Elec-
tion Act, passed last session, that it is
a blot upon every inotinct of justice.
and holds the view that the Canadian
Northern Railway purchase shu1d be
ackindicated upon by the new Parlia-
Ment.
"A consultation of the people at
short and regular periods is the right
of a free people. The constitiition
provides accordingly for a general
hleetiten every five years. It is un-
deniable that there. 'has existed a
strong desire in the oommunicy5 to
avoid an election during the war.
"Au impression prevails that had I
accepted the invitation. of the Prime
Minister to join his Government a,
new extension would have been post
sible 'this impreasion is absoiutely
erroneous, the fact being that the in-
vitaticn extended to me was coupled
with the stipulation that the Coalition
Government would 'pass a concsription

try thus making an election unavoid-

.1 'policy. • - - • .
"No measure to reduce the cost of
living can be effective Unless and un-
til the tariff Is reformed its pres-
sure removed from those conunodities
in which there are 'excessive profits',
'hoardings', and 'combinations for the
increase of prices.' Of this obvious,
fundamental reform thereis not a
word in the Government manifesto.
Indeed members of the present Gov-
ernment have announced that all ques-
tions of tariff legislation must be re-
legated to after the war.
Believing that increased ,food pro-
ohictien is one of Canada's best con-
tributions towaeds winning' the war,
1 would propose, ifentrusted with the
administration of the country,. to im-
mediately relitiem agriculture from its
disabilities in this regard.
"Since' the conopencement of the
wee the Governmentplaced an in-
crease of 71/2 per cent im our tariff on
all conunodities , coming into .Canada
from outside' Great Britain, and.art in-
crease of 5 per cent. on the goods

immediately reetoie • those bith dis-
abilities as respects conutuafities from
, allcountries other than those with
which we are • at war. her ' is nc
doubt that under existing conditions
these iitereases ht. the tariff are a
hindrance rather than a help to pro-
duciien in Cananh, whilst 11, is certain
that in :the final resort the' eontumer
has to pay these extra taxese .
"The increased duty on imports
from Great Britain was an unfriendly
and an unnecessary action on the part
of Canada towards the mother coun-
try at a time When -British trade was
staggering under the disadvantages
incidental to the War. It continues to
bearunfairly andt unduly- on existing
trades and should be speedily removed.
"In further mitigation of disadvae-
tages to agricultural 'production I
would 1rnmediate1y remove the duties"
on agricultural implements and ether
essentials, es demanded by the Wes-
tern farmers. A gentral, well con-
sidered reform , of the tariff for the
purpose of helping Canadian produc-;
tion and relieeing the Canadian con -
,sumer *ould also be an object' of my
'administration. .
"In connection with the high cost
of living, I would take drastic steps
to bring under Government control all
food -producing -factories, so that food
may be sold at a fixed price under the
control of the .Government, as has
been done .in Great Britain, To this
end arrangements should be made
with the management of the food -pro-
ducing factories allowing fur a, fair
interest on investment an,d fair and
reasonable net profits, so that food
may be obtainable by the ordinary
consumer at the best possible prices.
Should such arrangements not be pos-
sible, I would not hesitate to com-
mandeer all food factories.
"Nor is thet all. The Government
is invested with powers • which it
could and should have used to reduce
the price of ell commodities. , These
powers it has already exercieed
in the case of news print Paper.
"As far back as the month of Feb-
ruary last an order in Council was
passed, by which it was enacted ,that
'With a view te insure to peblisliers
of Canadian newspapersnew rant
paper at reasonable prices,' the :Min-
ister of Customs was 'authorized and
empowered to fix the quantity and
prices of news print in sheets and rolls
to be furnished by the manufacturers
to the publishers in Canada.'
, "By virtue of this 'order' the Gov-
ernment has coonpelled manufactur-
ers of print paper against the latter's
protest, to ' supply publishers and
newspapers at a price -whieli it
itself fixed as 'reasonable. If it could
thus reduce theprice of paper to -
consumers 'of paper, why did it stop
there? Why should the Government
not have reduced to the hundreds of
thousands of anxious housewives anf.
breadwinners the prices of all those
commodities which made the ever-in-
creasing cost of living one of the
most insistent and dangerous of all
the problems that II.OW Confront us.
.S to the Tvresent Military Ser-
vice Act my policy will be: not to pro-
ceed farther under its provisions until
the people have an opportunity to pro-
nounce upon it by way of a referen-
dum. I Pledge myself to forthwith
submit the act to tlie people, and with
my followersto carry out the wishes
"The Government; as recently re-
constructed, the Union Government,
so-called, is now appealing to the
country for support. k Six members of
the Liberal party, some of them close
personal friend's, have consented to
become members of the Administra-
tion- and the program. which they in-
tend to follow has already been placed
before the public, but in this program
no trace is to be found that the Lib-
eral ryernbers 01 the AdministraLum
have succeeded in influencing thOr
colleagues to the adoption of measures
which they ideemed essential not only
to win the war but for the welfare
of the country at all times.
"Most of the articles in the Gov-
• ernment's manifesto are simply tale
commonplaces extracted from the
Conservative program of 1911, for-
gotten after the election, resurrected
for a new election. Such is the pro-
mise of economy of public expendi-
ture. and such the promise of civil
service reform—two reforms which
the Opposition would have been
happy. eto sunnort in the last Parlia-
ment if the Government had afforded
them the opportunity. •
"One particular item. is deserving
of. attention. 'A strong and progres-
sive policy of immigration' is .prc-
rnised. This Will be, perhaps, the
most important question after the
war. The burdens which are now oe-
ing accumulated and which will have
to be assumed and borne by the
Canadian people can be faced if tne
ehorreous resources of the country
are developed'. But development de-
mands a rapid increase in the popu-
lation. • Hence the necessity of a
strong and arogressive immigration
