One of the spBakers at the return- ed soldiers' meeting in Macdonald Park on Wednesday evening last was Rev. E. H, Burgess, pastor of Zion | Presbyterian church. A report of his | address was given in the newspapers, and while it was followed by a letter ¥rom the reverend gentleman in which he attemptbd to give a clearer idea of what he meant, there were Some points in his address which he did not refer to, and which, we feel, in view of his failure to retract or repudiate, call for censure, What his object was in addressing, the meeting it is difficult to see un- less it was to create irritation and incite his hearers to action against the government which has done, and continués to do," everything for re- turned men consistent with thle finan- cial ability of the country. 'Here is a sample of the gentleman's utter- ances: "Were the boys treated right when they returned? No, Their pensions were lowered and other unfair ad- vantages taken of them." In view of this what did Rev. Mr. Burgess do? Did he go before any of the parlia- mentary committees of the House of Commons that sat suecessively since 1918 for the purpose of hearing evid- ence and establishing a system of monetary benefits, by way of pen- sions and other allowances designed to make the lot of the returned sol- dier better than that proyided by any other country? Was this gentleman so fired by zeal on behalf of the sol- dier as to, take be most direct and effective means to remedy what he regarded as improper and unfair treatment? But we cannot permit his state ments to pass without challenge, He ought to knpw better than to make statements of the sort quoted above in view of what has been done and is still being done toward the re-estab- lisiment of the returned man, The only question that the returned vet- eérans raised that could not be met was that of the bonus and the only reason why it could not be consider od favorably was the financial inabil. ity of the country to grant it.

Paris, Aug. 16.--The news which has come from America that only English Will be admitted as the of- ficia] language of the Washington disarmament conference has caused in France a resentment which many may find hard to understand, but which must, none the less, be taken seriously, as it is founded on very deep pride fn the language, which has been, since Latin passed out of use, the diplomatic language of the world, In literary circles in France the new departure announced from Washington is regarded as nothing short of a catastrophe, and among the rote it is felt that France as a country 4s once more being slighted by the Anglo-Saxons, who seem so completely td dominate the world. If, as it is reported, all reports and docu- ments of the conference are to be written only in English and all speeches to be made in English, France feels that it is almost idle for her to be.represehted, for neither ler premier nor more than a fraction of her diplomats speak any other language than their own, Commenting on the news, a writer in the Temps says: "It has not been denied as we hoped it would. But are we to resign ourselves to the elimination of our language? One can scarcely beligve it." Even After France'sedefeat in' 1870, the Temps points 'out, French continued to be ianguage, and the first deplorable loss of prés- tige was when Clemenceau consent- ed that the Treaty of Versailles should be written in English as well as French. "But even then," says the Temps, "although it had to share the honor, the French language was not ex- cluded. This time, at Washington, the disgrace will be complete and the disaster irreparable. To such a pro- ceeding our government must not subscribe under any pretext. It must guard not only the thateria] but the moral interests of the nation. BEvie- tion of our language must, 100, soon- er or later, affect our national pros- perity. Our int8llectual prestige would fall, as fewer and fewer people would consider it necessary to learn French. French thought would re celve less currency and consideration abroad, and French authors would be financial losers. At th> same time the world would lose from lessening acquiintance with French thought and ideas." o This patriotic outburst in the Temps in defence of the French lan- guage is finding expfession also in other quarters ,and if the Washing- ton conference does decide to elimin- ate French from .its proceedings #t will certainly wound many French people in a very sensitive place. On the other hand, the testimony of Ambassador Harvey may taken as to the utility of two -languages. After the meeting of the Supreme y W. J.
