It is mot a question of whether or nor oriental civilization is good or bad, but simply that it is distinet in every essential feature from the civil- ization, represented in our national life. ' "I do not 'think that the destinies of India canbe worked out by im- migration to Canada. There seems to me to .be ample scope for their influence and expansion on the hin- terlands of India, which still remain undeveloped to a great extent, or in similar tropical climes under Bji- tish rule. - Aside from. a few agit tors, who are frankly disloyal and antagonistic to 'the empire; the great mass of the. people of India are quite indifferent to the question of immi- gration to Canada, Their ' recent splendid response to the call for men to help fight the British em- pire's battles in Europe was res markable demonstration of the fact that' their loyalty has been unimpair- ed. by the opposition to their settle ment in Canada and other overseas dominions. "In this connection, it is interest- ing to note that since the war an the" question of Hindu immigration; { so far as this province is concerned, is becoming. adjusted to some extent by natural "economic causes, The closing of the mills and other similar - avenues of labor 'has. resulted in the { throwing eut of employment of hun- {dreds of the natives of India. A large proportion of the laborers have al- ready returned, to their native land, where living is cheap, and where a few dollars go a long way." Taw Paris, Dec. 9. 'The censorship foems to have decided that the voy- age of M, and Mme. Caillaux to South American was not an event that should occupy public attention at the present moment. The Temps was allowed to state that the for- mer minister of finance had been placed on furlough by the minister of war and by the minister of fin- ance, under whom M. Caillaux ser- ved in his quality as paymaster of the forces, and had been placed at the disposal of the minister of com- merce by the minister of war for a mission in Brazil, 'with rank of colonel, "THis news," added the Temps, "will cause some surprise, and pro- bably arouse some comment (the cénsorship here reduces the nature of the comment to a blank line). It can be said that anotiier wission had heen contemplated and that at first there had been talk of the United States. As to tho object of this mission, the minister of commerce has issued & note (a twenily lMne blank follow- ed but the censorghin apparently changed its mind ond late editions were allowed to print the note. It is as follows: "M. Joseph Calllaux has been charged with an economic mission to Brazil. This mission has for its object an investigation into food- stuffs. and raw materials existing in Brazil and of their use for our sup- port or for the manufacture of ob- jects pertaining to the national de-| fence. It also deals with manufac- tured objects at present supplied by Austria and Germany to Brazil, which our h manufacturers might supply--<cloth porcelains, chemical products, ~pachines and tools of every kind. "The mission finally has to do with submarine telegraph connec- flons with Brazil and modifications which might be introduced into the cable service between France and Brasil, with a view to replacing the German lines of Teneriffe, Monrovia and Pernambuco." As the Ecole de Paris remarked after printing this note "the full im- of this mission can thus be een and no. surprise can be felt that it was decided on until approv- ed by the cabinet under M.

Paris, Dec. 4.--The Temps, in the course of an editorial on "Neu- trals and Peace," asks: 'Where is tLiere a neutral who can believe that he is assured against one day being treated like Belgium by a victorious Germany?" The Temps continues: "Any atempt at compromise would be veritable desertion of all which would render useless all the blood which has been shed and the ruins and miseries of the last four months. It would be no less dan- gerous to allow neutrals to inter- pose between the combatants to be- come the arbiters of peace when liostilities are over, Only those who have fought, who have borne the weight of the most frightful of wars should have 4 voice and when the vanquished desire peace it is to the combatants that they should address themselves. "The combatants alone, who have measured the whole extent of the ef- fort, can fix justly the conditions of peace and judge justly of the guar- antees which 'are necessary for the future. This is as much to the in- terest of those who remain neutral to the very end as It is the right of those who have fought." \ new broom may sweep clean, but it never comes with a guarantees not to raise blisters.
