into working mens clubs has been inaugurated in thc states the plan contemplates retention of tho lunch counter but instead of selling liquor as the saloons havo done the salvation army clubs will handle coffeo soft drinks and the ddughnut made famous by tho organization during the war some such scheme should bo in augurated in every town in canada where prohibition comes into force the working

upon as advisablo by the special committee of the house of commons dealing with tho matter tho committee also concurred in the recommendation favoring the abolition of hereditary titles which now exist in canada this country is aiming to establish a true democracy and wilt oventually accomplish it mr herbert hoover food controller of tho united states has recommended that great britain go dry it seems that ho strenuously resists tho use by tho brewers and distillers of england of grain imported from the united stares and declares that if such use is to bo made of it ho will stop supplies the london morning advertiser states that england could go dry as the states had tho advertiser 13 the organ of tho liquor trado and waxes warm in indignation because of an outsider attempting to meddle with british affairs but tho advertiser had as well keep cool for there can be no justification of the use of grain or brewing and distilling when a large portion of the world goes hungry every day and the advertiser had as well face the fact that ere long england will put the ban on drink us the united states has done richmond advocate quebec appears to be in tho experimental stage so far as the hquor traffic is concerned and its recent vote gave no hope that general solo of intoxicating liquor will bo permitted in that province the montreal star says the socalled liquor interests will be fooltsfi in the extreme if they misunderstand or misinterpret the verdict of the people on wine and beer quebec has not voted in favor of hard stuff and the more clearly tho anti prohibition element realizes this ihe better for it quebec has voted for an experiment in moderation may day was a great day for canadians who in vested in victory bond3 lost november on that day the government of canada paid them by cheque 18000000 the interest due for tho first six months this is only ono of tho numerous sources of interest from the government canadians will draw over 70000 000 in war bonds interest thi3 year will the 1000000 holders of victory bonds in the dom inion become systematic savers thus helping them selves and tho country wo suggest that every yopng man and woman set aside this money as j nucleus of a savings account if they have not ajreadj opened a bank account or invest it in war savings stamps at the neaiest post office the need for increased food production continues to 4e a pressing problem from present indications farm help continues very scarce many women and girls will go out again this summer to help on farms and fruit gardens last year 2400 women and girls were placed in situations of this kind in ontario by the provincial government bureaux their work generally proved satisfactory both to the employers and to the employees wages it is stated will be somewhat higher this year and crop prospects are cn- conraging in order to secure good conditions for the women sent out in groups district secretaries are appointed who investigate labor conditions se cure a contract from the fanner and supervise the work of the girls throughout their term of service house mothers and chaperons are also arranged for jn securing trade orders under canadian credits abroad the canadian trade commission reports that certain industries have taken a predominant place and that other classes equally important have done ijttlc to obtain an allocation as tho main idea in establishing credits was to enable dominion indus- tries as s whole to carry oa over a difficult period aqd to enable a larger entry to be made into the export field the attention of business men in all in dustries is called to the conditions it s thought advisable to spread the credit over unused factory capacity without confining the benefits to a few line and thus prevent unemployment where possible present conditions offer to golden opportunities of entering the permanent export markets which may not again recur and the commission impresses on trades which may never have exported before ths striking advantages of group endeavor for nearly two years certain politicians havo in dulged in whofffstflc slander of that section of tl o liberal press which favored the format ou of a union government with a policy positively stated as calculated to enable canada more effectively to assist to win the war in the briefest possible time mr lemicux member for gaspe reiterated these aland ers in tho house of commons last week ho was promptly brought to book by hon n w rowel and others the globe on monday said mr lemicux alieltcfodinuiftillbokof parliamentaryprivilege makes another attack on tho liberal press or on that portion of it which by its support of compulsory military service and the formation of a union gov ernment at a timo of national crisis put principle and conviction above party solidarity the liberal press can be proud of the part played ih shaping tho policy of the country during the war the attack upon it by men of the typo of mr lemicux whoso canard may bo believed by some credulous persons is one of tho penalties it is paying for its moral cour- ago but canadians who bcllcvethat party is a means to an end and not an end in itself should pray that cniadan newspapers wih- continue to servo canada as faithfully as they served h jin tho emergency of 1017 the returned soldiers are evidently determined to have all citizens qf canada occupy the same positions in relation to responsibilities of citizenship as they have themselves been under the great war vet erans association has requested tho dominion gov

fords conviction a gross miscamogo of justice the parasite was written in england was a strong arraignment of the liquor traffic it made no reflec tions on our soldiers but pointed out the evils of the liquor temptations they were forced to face it was circulated in england by tens of thousands and was banned by no censor there it is quite apparent from what quarter the influence for action in canada came the prosecution was clearly a persecution with a sinister purpose there are strong hopes that in the appeal which has been entered the magistrates decision will be reversed no one can misunderstand tho farmers movement among the fighting organizations tho farmer is now one of the first he has quit considering himself the underdog hi proposes to go on top ho says the manufacturer and the traffic ite and the recon structionist are out against him as though he were menace he is determined to fight compromise is not in hts dictionary he is an absolute last- ditcher pown with tho

as a tilrect class interest from coast to coast it is time for the old parties to take notice timo for tho old leaders to conclude that what tho labor party is in britain the farmers party is in canada tho party of radical measures like it or not there it is and we shall have some lively politics yet out of this protest that became a party canadian courier the people of acton havo manifested
