Surrender The Timber, Faronto Globe, It asserted {hat Emperor Wil liam is a holder of British Columbia timber to the value of "$29,000,000. If his capital is given for the privilege of holding for a rise in price it is used destructively, and if used in the cutting and manufacture of timber and Jumber it is a productive or actual investment. The largest Ger.- man investments in Canada are said ww he in the Canadian Pacific rail- way. So. far as these investments are employed in the transportation of freight and passengers they are beneficial, but so far as they repre sent speeplative holding of land they are injurious. The one service is productive and the other obstructive As we have not yet adopted a dil ferent attitude toward the two classes oi domestic investments there is not likely to be any discrimination be tween the two classes of holdings by foreign enemies if a policy of con fiseation js adopted. The investiga sion of German holdings in Canada may not only wield valuable war prizes, but may ' shed some needed hight of the question of absenteeism in general, and of idle Canadian hold- ings both by Canadians and foreign ers.
