OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1922 ie tastes tali -- WORLD EVEN THEIR SIGNIFICANCE. "William Banks. There will be many anxious mo- ments yet in 'respect to the Néar ast situation, But hours are pre- cious, HKveryone thet passes with: out an outbreak of hostilities is so much gained for peace, The dan- ger, as pointed out before, is not so much that there will be formal dec- laration of war by Kemal and his advisers at the head of theTurkish Nationalist forces but that irregu- lars who have attached themselves to the Turk armies, or some fanati- cal Turk soldiers, may start war on their own account, The buoyancy of feeling that displaced pessimism within the past few days had its re- flection in the stock and money markets of the British Empire at any rate, and indeed in most of the markets of the na- tions, Compromise seems to have won the day, though to the shame of the great powers it is a compro- mise which should never have been made with the Turks, But for the firmness of Britain, however, the Turks would have emerged as victors not only over Greece, hut over Brit- ain and her allies as well, What- ever of territory and honor has heen safeguarded from the spoilation of the Turks, has been so held because Britain had the courage to draw a line beyond which sh: would not re- treat, The French are welcome to all the pleasure they can extract because of their part in the negotia- 1 \ . Britain Has Surplus For the first six months of the fis- cal year the British Treasury is able to report a surplus of revenue over expenditure of filty-six million pounds, This is a rare achievement in view of the state of trade which, while showing a slow improvement, is still far from what it ought to he It has not been reached without dras- tie cutting of the expenditures. The Chancellor of the Exchequer in his budget had hoped that these would be eut by at least one hundred and sixty-nine million pounds. To date --or for the six months' period, rather--the saving totals one hun- dred and fifty million pounds, Thus, while there has heen a shrinkage of revenue to the extent of fifty-two million pounds the savings effected hy the policy of economy have en- abled a much better showing to he made than was thought possible when the budget was delivered, Ir is unfortunate that the Near East situation should have intervened at | this time, The efforts made hy | Britain to show the Turks that she | was in earnest in her determination to keep the Straits open and invio- | late, have cost a great deal of mon- | ey. Warlike preparations are not | conducive to economy; indeed there is very often no actual time in which | to give heed to that; Britain is mak- | ing a huge paymeni of interest on her loans from the United States very soon and would have had a| | more comfortable feeling regarding! | finances if it had not been necessdry -- that the Washington Conference has become a matter of history ques: tions as to Its actual values and ac complishments are arising all the time, Far from disarming the na- tions are bending a great deal of their energies toward the perfecting of war machinery. If some war ma- chinery is scrapped and every ef- fort made to so improve the more limited armament as to make it ten times, or a hundredfold more effci- ent, does the world gain? Probably the accumulative effects 'of such con ferences will in the end kill a good deal of the insincerity with which some participants regard them, But it does look sometimes as if the whole world would have to go prac- tically bankrupt before a substitute is found for war, Briand As a Farmer While many other prominent pol- iticians are agitating themselves over affairs at home and abroad, former Premier Briand of France has set an example that lots of them might try to emulate. Some years ago he purchased a section of land that whs considered so poor as not to be worth bothering about by the tarmers in the locality, He fertil- fzed it and gave it the attention he thought it needed with the result that wheat from that land has carried off a coveted prize in one of the rural: agricultural exhibitions. And the| seed for the prize winning wheat] was imported from Canada. Briand] has done another good thing for his country ,and incidentally this.

In many settlements not a house was left standing, farms were destroyed and fresh fires continually broke out as the gale carried burn- ing embers over miles of country, North Bay, Sudbury and other sur- rounding towns immediately de- | spateched relief trains to the district, | and the train crews did heroic work in their struggles to reach and res- cue the thousands of people who were fleeing. New Liskeard was to charged with the murder of a young girl, has resulted in a disa- greement of the jury, and prisoner has been remanded to jail, This world's record in murder trials is not one that any place will be anx- fous to emulate, But it certainly opens the. way for discussions and debates especially in legal circles. The questions raised are such as to interest many people outside of the legal fraternity also. Off hand it would-seem ag if it were impossible to ever convict the man now, and one wonders what course the law will take, Floods in India Swift on the eve of news from In- dia of great.crops throughout that country comes the reports of terri ble floods in northern Bengal where the rural community had reaped a great harvest and were seemingly on the eve of remarkably prosperous times for that part of the world. It is feared that th. loss of human life, has been very heavy, while cattle hy the thousands have been drowned, Cholera has hroken out and is adi- ing to the trials of the situation. British and Indian officials and civ- flians alike have entered upon the work of relief with the promptitude that characterizes these measures in a land which so often is called upon to cope with flood, pestilence or fam- ine, The fact that throughout In- dia Moslems are in many cases cele- brating the Turkish victories over Greece and agitating for still wider measures of home rule for their own land, has been rather stressed in some quarters. But though the sit uation may at times appear to he al- most beyond control, the manner in which Britain manages to keep her authority attracts the attention of thoughtful people the world over A Pure Green Tea-- ocd el io a ut is guaranteed the finest when it bears the name "SALAD" Famous for its Flavor--Just try a sample. heen ohvious 'for some time that the Republicans were in a hopeless posi- tion so far as armed resistance wus concerned and that their best inte- rests and the best interests of Ire- land could hest he served hy their cessation from armed warfare, A london despatch asserts that the Free State has been negotiating with Britain for the leases of St. Helen, the island famous as the last deten ARFTE TW a T ON, S-- | {fon home of Napoleon, the idea he- ing to send leaders of the rebellious faction there if they will not come to terms.
