But until Sir Sam Hughes demanded its production in Canada, backed by the demands of other members of parliament, nothing was done to- wards the production of it. En- quiries would be made. That was the substance of the replies of the premier and others speaking in his behalf. Persistent calls for the re. port have brought some result. It is now learned that Sir George Per- ley has made-some explanation, but the premier has been too busy to read it. Meanwhile Sir Sam Hughes has published data which appears to es- tablish certain facts, to wit: That Col.

Any combination or arrangement between the parties at Qitawa, for a union government, must be of a temporary character. It must re- semble the war government which serves In England, which has had its troubles and tribulations, yet holds to its plans with an intensified devotion. Later, when the war , Clouds have rolled away, there may be a return to party government, as that appears to be the best suited for this country. In the next elec- tion, there will be conscriptionist liberals and conseriptionist conser- yatives. They will act in harmony until peace has "been restored, with- out, it is hoped; any evidence of party favorttism hip #rejudice. The question for the liberals js, who will lead them? Sir' Wilfrid Laurier has made a third statement, on the invitation of the -Hamiiton Win-the<War League. He has amn- PHfled hix position on the issues of the day. He has been accused of rejecting the overtures of the Bor- den administration; and he explains how It was Impossible to aceépt them under 'the circumstances. :A coalition should precede a definition of policy, while he was expectéd to assist In carrying out a policy, with respect to which he was not con- syfed. One can accept the argity ment, that an extension of the term of parliament was not. feasible" with the west inadequately represented | and so many seats in the Commons vacant, 'but Sir WiD_ (a 1s stil} wedd- ed to a referendum upon the ques- tion of conscription, or an election out of which may rise a governmént that will be composed of the ablest of all classes; with a desire to pro- secute a vigorous and compact sys- tem of voluntary enlistment. He does not say the word for which an expectant party waits--that all oth- er expedients falling he will resort to conscription in order that Canada may maintain: her army at the front. Already the effects of his state- ment are apparent. There Is a call for another leader. It is most in- sistent in the west, It 'may be that at the close of the session Sir Wil- Arid Laurier may summon his par- liamentary ® and place his resignation in thelr hands. It will be for them to put on record a pro- per tribute to his greatness, to ex- press the gratitude of the party;for the splendid and unselfish service} he has rendered during the many |' years he has been in public life. It of course, but there other planks, as the ; el .| to say about it, and Bruce threatens report and for all that Perley has that unless he is vindicated he will return to Canada and give to parlia- ment and to the people the informa- tion which will be a revelation as to the hospital conditions in Eng- land. The outstanding feature in this case is the evident desire to suppresd an official report which parliament will not stand for under any circumstances. Cabinet reconstruction would be an easier task i parliament were not in session and the government were not resorting to tactics which getie its professions. COMPLIMENT TO CARVEL. On fs impressed, but not favor- able, with the references of the Canadian press to Frank Broad- stiget Carell, as the Telegram calls him, with special emphasis upon the middle name. Qarvell for premier! His name had been mentioned in Ahis connection. He had earned the recognition. He was, of course, the exploit thé war for the purposes' of profit, whe involved the -govermmnend| in a, series of scandals Which cdi never be forgotten. But Carvell was in earnest about his work. He undertook to expose certain wrongs. He asked for no personal consideration while he de- voted himself to a most unpleasant task. When he completed it he went on hif way. modestly and with no desire for anything more than the consciousness of having done hia duty. Then came the time when the exigencies of war 'suggested a change in the tactics of the govern- ment, Mr. Carvell . heard all that was to be said upon the subject of conscription. He favored it. realized that it was a nece was to be maintained. He speech, in its behalf, with dn takably patriotic ring. He stood by it. He has lived up to §t. He has talked and acted like who can put his polities aside for the time being and play the man. The government has paid him the compliment of offering him a _seat in the war cabinet, Mr. Carvell's' reasons for declin- ping this position have not been stat- ed. But if is certain that the fre mier honors his earnestness and in- tegrity, and in attempting to belittle or besmirch him the conservative enemy of those who undertook tol" press only demeans itself.

Will Sir Robert Bordea announce his war cabinet to-day? He pro- mised a definite' statement at the end of the week, Judging by the expressions of some of the senators the bilingual school troublers are.at the bottom of the _congeri mn difficulties in Qucheg » Beciluse. public opinion is being asserted agaist the C.N.R. pur- chase, Hon. Arthur Meighen, the government's professional apologist, favors the closure. The Montreal Gazette conserva- tive? Cgrtainly. Any 'paper that can approve of the soldiers' voting bill in its original form, (and the GRzette has done this), cannot be accused of liberal - or - independent tendencies, The opposition in the Commons want every soldier who belongs to Canada to have a vote, and to re- gister it in the constituency to which he belongs. The idea of providing that a host of aliens, with the Can- adjan army, shall have the fran-; chise, equally with Canadians, let the government hive their votes, is surely an outrage. PUBLIC.

A quarter of an ounce costs very little at any pharmacy, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hara ot soft corn or callous. You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled that it lifts out without pain. It 1s a sticky sub- stance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoining tissue.
