A NERIOUS_ BREADOWN AND LUE TO THE HEAVY TASKS PLACED UPON HIM, I Regarded as the Best F inance Minis ter Cansda Has Ever Had--Liberal in the Bone and Conservative .in Training--=Sensitive to Chiding. {Special to the Whig.) Ottawa, April 27..--The good news is that the Provident Son has return- ed--that is to say that the Finance Minister, Sir Thomas White, will be back on the job by the end of the session of soonery Who or what the fatted calf or calves will be is a mat- ter of conjecture. Rumor has been busy with 8irj Thomas' state of health ever since he went away. According to some tie was on the brink of the grave-- his eonstitution as badly shot to pieces as the British North America Act--all over except the. obMuary notices, According to others he was not sick at all, except it might be a Rd of spleen which would speedily | sappear if he got his own way. "he truth is that Sir Thomas suf-| fered a nervous breakdown, brought | on by cares and anxieties such as no Canadian Finance Minister was ever called on to bear before. Working gixtean hours a day and not being able to sleep the other eight had its inevitable effect. The cares of state could not be dismissed at will. They kept whirling the long night through. If Sir Thomas had not been {a man of clean life and regular hab- ! with reserves of energy to draw { upon, he would have suecumbed to | the straih long before. As it was | no man aid his bit more heroically than the Finance Minister, who stuck to his post until the doctor or- dered him south and would take no denial. © . prescription was rest, open air, golf----above all rest--and i is gratifying to learn that these sim- | ple remedies, so easy to prescribe and so hard. for averworked Finance Min- isters to take, made the cure. When Sir Thomas comes back to his job, probably the best Finanté Minister Canada ever had reports for duty. It is dificult to imagine where Canada could have found another man as keen for work, as emthusias- t.¢ for his country, as competent in knowledge, as resourceful im meth-| ods, as democratic in his taxation' jdeas, as equitable in distributing the white man's burden, as this young financier from Toronto, who gives the prime of his life, the flower of his'girength, and the ripeness of his mind to the great task of shoulder- ing Canada through the money-lcad of the most ruinously expensive war in the world's history. | Canada can set it down ad a great' blessing that when the tile of trial came she had in Sir Thomas, a statesman whose high sense of duty was only equalled by his honesty of purpose and his ability to accomplish what at first glance looked like mir- acles. When Bir Thomas took office in 1911 he never expected to steer. Canada through the barbed wire en- tanglements of war finance, but when Armageddon camé he took it on,all in the day's work, and put his back into it. ©unly bis closest friends know what laborious and exhaustive study he gave this subject of war finance-- examining, on their money side, all the great wars from Napoleon's down. No budget of Sir Thomas' was ever halfbaked, you may qepeng on that. Sir Thomas is Liberal in do bone and Conservative in training--a man of the people who understands their interests and kvows their ways-- even handed to rich and poor--not a demagogue and not a plutocrat--an admirable combination in the Finance Minister of a Union Government pledged to winning the war with as little derangement of the social and economic fabric as possible. Si¥ Thomas his been absent twp months, but his record of distinguish- ed service has kept his memory green enough to prevent hooms for any other Finance Minister making much | headway. The Hon. A, K. aclou, i who i$ a capable understudy, did no aspire, and the Hon. W, A, Inelding, who is a Finance Minister emeritus, his had enough of the toilsome honor fo last the remainder of his days, but the Hon. Arthur Meighen is am: |' bitious of any amount of hard work. elsewhere, and if Sir Thomas wore fiot coming biatk be might be an eligible candidate, If Sir Thomas moves on and up Mr. Meighen is still in the runnifz, but meanwhile he dolis very well where he is. Mr. Melgton has Deen held wp as a Fi- nnles Minister who would be seized of tie western spirit and that may well be, bit we remember that when Durie] was Prime Ministe: in Baby- lon he always kept his Jinons Alyy to Jerusalem.

What Canada needs just now is a Finance Minister that has windows looking bath ways. 1 Pie story goos that Sir Thomds 1s not as docile to tho éastern Juunelal HWE Him : Li {than once with his makers that that, plus his ill-health, twas thn cose of his visit to California.

Just now Sir Thomas is in 'Wash- ington fixing up a Canadian credit which came to grief some time ago when -Sir Thomas' ego cldshed with that of Secretary McAdoo, who 1s also an earnest, honest, purposeful man, who believes in giving his country the pest of it. The latest news is that these two big men have composed , that differences ahd that when Sir Thomas comes back he will bring the golden spoifp with him. Sir Thomas has the faults of his qualities. According to Horace, the man conscious of right is triply armed against criticism. But that is not Sir Thomas' nature. YAtter six years in politics he is still as gensi- tive to newspaper chiding as the veriest novice in public life. His ego is not hard-dboiled---on the con- trary, itis "very thin-skinmed, in- deed, and criticism that runs off the average politician like water off a duck's back chills Sir Thomas to the bone. 8ir Thomas is in politics, but he does not like the little tricks the heckling, the misrepresenting, the deliberate distortion of facts by political opponents. 1 doubt, too, whethér he likes the hustings and the turmoil of elgetions and the en less explaining of matters--simyle enough to him--te low-browed fer- gons who can't understand anyway. Having had business all his life with highly inteiligent people, who grdsp a proposition in a flash. Sir Thomas is naturally impatient- with slow thinkers. When this war is over and Sir Thomas has gone threugh his tre- mendous ordeal of service and sacri- fice, Canada will probably find a Hace. for him where she can utilize great talents without flicking Wim on the raw---some place where he will be in politics, but out of them--the directorship, fay, of Gov- ernment railways, which is a job that will soon be hunting a fifty- thousand-dollar-a-year man. ot course the Railway Ccommission would disappear, and that would ledve another good and faithful ser- vant of the publie, Sir Henry Dray- ton, free to join Sir Thomas in his new department, and give Canada an example of team-work by two big men which would result in great benefit to this country. The time approaches when, Can- ada - will need wer best brains wheréver they are ncw, on the job of readjustment." To quarrel with our big men simply because they are- big is to ent off our nose to spite our face. Big men serve in a blg way and are entitled to big- treatment from those they corve. Wherever the big men are séattered we must call them Home to work for Canada. Ons of the biggest is now a voluntary exile in England. To come right down t{o cases, when is Sir Clifford Siiton going to take Gis full share in the | atfairs of his native land? ~--H..F, GADSBY.
