No other nation in the world is so deeply involved in internation- {al affairs, no other nation has so great a burden to bear. The ending of the war hag in- creased, instead of lessened, this bur- den, for the smaller nations, espec- ially in the near east and Asia, are coming to depend more and more on stability. Without the influence of Britain in world affairs, it would indeed be a poor outlook, but the British people have never been known to shirk a duty, no mat- ter how unpleasant it might ba. Britain has always borne more than her share of the burdens of the world, 'At the present time she stands almost alone as the custodian of the liberty of the small nations, for, as yet, the policy of the United States is not apparent. The outlook for 1921, then, is not an alluring one, but British statis- men have faced greater tasks in the past, and have faced them success- fully, and the proverbial British grit and capacity for getting things done will be successful in cleaning up a many intricate problems which weigt heavily upon the government. THE GLOBE AND LAWYERS. The Globe takes exception to the Whig criticizing its remarks regard- ing Premier Meighen"s professional calling, and it is a good thing to ob- serve that it grants a place to the lawyer in public life and is not de- signedly giving impetus to class dis- tinctions that would bear exception- ally gifted men from public life. The Globe's criticism was destructive and ill-considered, inasmuch as it failed to avail itself of judicial opinion on purely constitutional questions, and in the absence 'of such support, its mere assertions place it in the position of the reck- less Belaior. We Have an example of this very sort of thing in West Peterboro where five candidates are seeking election, some of them basing their appeals upon purely class preju- dices; and had dissolution taken place when Mr. Burnham and the Globe desired it we would have had the class cry raised simultaneously from one end of the country to the other. Premier Meighen had a duty to perform under such exceptional cir- cumstances, and that is to promul- gate his national policy and endea- vor to force the attention of the peo- ple upon broader national issues in order that they may recognize the duty they owe to Canada, her wel- tare and prosperity by and through which their happiness must be sought rather than in class solidar- ity. Education on national affairs is badly needed. This is especially so respecting the farmers and labor. The British emigrant artisans comé to Canada, join a trade union and start polilical agitation before they learn anything about the national affairs of their adopted; country. The labor unions have a great responsi- bility in Canadianizing this class of citizens and we believe that they can do it. The rise of our farmers to class consciousness and their exploitation for political purposes at a time when they enjoyed the greatest prosperity in the history of the country shcws the need for their education on na- tional affairs.

Paris, Jan. 19.--The duplicity the Germans employ in secreting aero plane equipment in violation of the treaty of Versailles is frequently giving rise to amusing incidents, ac- cording to reports reaching official quarters here. The latest of these occurred in one of Hugo Stinnes' Berlin factories, where interallied control officers agreed to inspect ithe three lower floors of a six-storey | building in the morning and the other three floors after luncheon. All went well until one of the French officers during the - after- noon returned to the second floor for a notebook he had dropped there. To his surprise he found the {employees of the place during the {luncheon hour had transferred | there sixty complete motors from {the upper rooms. Gen.. Nollett, head of the control commission, has reported a case of |a German school mistress who fell under suspicion by the control"ex- | perts. Although she protested that |she did not know an aeroplane part | from a pretzel, forty magnetos were |discovered under the kitchen table. | When officers tried td open what | was supposed to be a child's bed- {room this patriotic frau dramatical- {ly placed herself in front of the |door, swearing by all Deutschland's | gods they would enter the room only {over her dead body. She is still alive, however, but the control offi- | cers found fifty complete helices, a sc ore of magnetos and numerous al- | titude barometic appliances Not the least striking feature of this case arose a few days later | when the woman demanded dam- ages to the amount of 200,000 marks for violation of the privacy of her domicile, but Gen, Nollette per- sonally interpreted the treaty's clauses for the German judges and the case was dropped. Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER A TRUE STORY. There was a man who'owned some flats, out in a western town, fit dwell- ings for aristocrats, all painted white and brown; and renters took their kids and cats to them and settled down. In time the greedy rent hogs rose, on get-rich courses bent; the hearts of many landlords froze, they grasped at every cent; and people soaked their furbelows, to pay the monthly rent. And landlords got an evil name throughout that plunder- ed grad; they played a profiteering game that made the victims mad; said victims said it was a shame, as they dug up the scad. While other landlords raised the price, the hero of this tale old time prices would suffice, old contracts should prevail; he would not ask an extra slice of hard-pressed tenants' kale. These tenants, being safe and sane, to gratitude not dead, when rent day came did not complain, or fear the landlord's tread; but they gave him a handsome cane, that had a golden head. Oh, all the tenants stood in line, and then, with seemly mirth, they sprung their tribute, high and fine, to one of sterling worth; and he was moved to shedding brine that trickled to the earth. He gets more pleasure from this gift than do the pirates gay, the' profiteers who strive to lift the prices every day, from all the coin their evil thrift has won and filed away. --WALT MASON.

Kidney and Bladder weakness re- sult from uric acid, says a noted au- thority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and inflame, causing a burn- ing, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the blad- der, obliging you to seek relief or three times during the night. sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scald- ing sensation, and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urina- tion. While it is extremely annoy- ing and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ail- ments to overcome. Get about four ounces of Jad Saits from your phar- macist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, con- tinue this for two or three days. This will heutralize the acids in th$ urine 80 it no longer is a source of irrita- tion to the bladder and urinary or- gans which then act normally again.
