Russia, says one of them, is ruled by a little clique of some two hundred men. And this is the inauguration of de- mberacy in the empire of the czars! Russia has less freedom to-day than she had before the liberation of the serfs. Trotsky says frankly "free labor can only exist in a capitalistic state." Lest there should be any misunderstanding of this axiomatic confession, Mr. Lansbury, who visit- ed Moscow on behalf of the workers of Britain, calmly foreshadows mar- tial law for the workshop as the in- dispensable condition. of progress. "Discipline--iron, rigid discipline of 90 | the workers by the workers," will compel every man from 18 to 60 years of age to do his bit. Ca' canny will be treason to the common- wealth. None will be allewed food who has not worked for it; the slack- er will be a deserter and treated as such. That is the inspiring message which Trotsky and Lansbury have for the working men of the world-- for democracy in old and new coun- tries -alike. Bolshevism, naked and thing it is, has proved too much for Empire, the journal Colonial Institute. They were invit- ed, it adds, to join the Third Inter- national as Moscow, and voted to 206. They realize that any pledge to participate in the Lenin-Trotsky regime means armed revolution. For that few of them are prepared. THE HEARST PAPE'S. Considerable criticism and indig- by the cartoons and statements published in the Hearst papers der- ogatory to Britain. This is certainly pathy of all fair-minded people, not only in Canada but also in the United States. For the preservation of themselves and the Anglo-Saxon race, it 1s imperative' that Great Britain and the United States should keep on terms of mutual friendship and understanding. It goes without any 'attempt at argument or proof, as the facts are well-known the world over, that the portrayfls in these papers are false, unjust and maliei- ous. Although they are not to be blamed for their policy in the war, considering the uncertamty of condi- tions and the seriousness of entering the conflict, yet the peoplé of the United States and particularly the newspapers of the country should be the last ones to cast slurs on Britain. Even the most prominent of Ameri- can men and the American news- and the most widespread popularity have at different times expressed 'hemselves as feeling some shame for the delay of their country in entering a conflict which was undeniably in the cause of humanity. One of the cartoons which aroused Canadian and British anger was a portrayal of Uncle Sam saving an un- grateful John Bull from drowning, and was entitled "The Ingrate."

Verandrye. Few of the explorers who penetrat- ied the vast wildernesses of North America in the pioneer days ac- complished more valuable work than did Gualtier de Varenne, Sieur de la | Verandrye, but few have received less | recognition for their -explorations than he. He began his career as a young French officer in 1697, while in 1704 he was a dashing figure in the raids of the new world. He took part, too, in military expedition into New- foundland about 1705. Then for seventeen years following wounds received in the battle of Malplaquet, he was the Governor of Three Rivers, Quebec. It was while in this position that he heard from Indians who came to sell their furs of the Great West. They came from great distances and pene- Rippling |. will he no doubf about Germany's| the, trated far into-the northland in quest of the fur animals. What he heard inspired in him a great ambition to see the lands they visited in their an- nual hunting trips. He followed the braves to the head of Lake Superior where he heard from the redskins of a great river flowing west far in the interior. The reports were constant aad persistent so he determined to go 0 suade the Governor to send him on a tour of the land to find the great stream. On the 19th of May, 1713, he certain papers with some mer- sjgad in. the colony by which he '| secured an outfit for the trip. With Father Messdger, a Jesuit priest, he left Fort Michilimackinac on August 26, of that year to cross the grand portage at a point 45 miles farther along the coast than the present Fort William. From this point he was to set inland on a trip never beforg tak- en by a white man. His goal was Lake Quinipigon. In the second year of his trip crossed the Lake of the Woods: on its shores he built Fort St. Charles. Then he descended from Lake of the Woods to the river Win- nipeg which he called Maurepas until he reached Lake Winnipeg--the Quinipigon he had sought. He press- ed on in his trip naming the Assini- boine river the St. Charles River; to a branch now known as the Souris he gave the name St. Pierre. Garroters Out of Practice.

Constantinople, June 2.--Thé Bol- sheviki have shipped 100,000 tons of oil from Baku to Russia by sea. The British and Polish Missions, which were' arrested at Baku, are still held prisoners. Little hope is felt that they will be released, as the Bolsheviki refuse to answer wireless messages. .

The British nation eould mever be accused of any ungratefulness or lack of a broad vision in international affairs by the most venomous of its critics if they wished to retain a semblance of the truth. If there is anything owing to the United States it will be paid in full, and none know it better than the Americans. Whether or not there is strictly anything owing Is a mat- ter of debate. It would rather seem that the United States is indebted to the Allied nations for its present security. For the years previous to its entry into the war the United States fattened on the lifeblood of the European countries who were battling in the cause of civilization. It may not be exactly magnanimous to remind Americans of this fact, but neither is it any high motive which prompts the sdurrilous accusations of the Hearst papers. These papers should be very careful when using the term "ingrate." It would now be advisable to con- ider what Canalla and the people of Canada can do to counteract the work of the Hearst publications. Continued buying and reading by Canadians is certainly not going to have the desired result. The course is plain. The Hearst papers must be banned, boycotted, done away with, 3s far as Canada is concerned. Can- ada stands to-day as independent as 'any republic in the world, but she is glorified by the distinction of belong- ing to the British Empire, the test democratic institution in Xistence.
