Are men to guide the larger affairs of the social life, or will the Women grab off the job and take it over for complete remodeling? Or --Mhave the women already taken it | over?

One of these questions is, have men degenerated unnoticed qr have they just siarted into. de- generacy?' Are they making them. selves less of men without becom- ing something better? Certainly they have no claims as women. As they stand they are not genuine, full- blvoded men, while as women the behind knew, themselves Ives real women can't hide their snickers | at them, There is something out of mesh somewhere with the man who wants to tell women how to dress or who Is enough concerned swith women's dress to be able to detai] a descrip- tion, Among men of the traditional type there was never anything but a grin. or a word culled from strong language for the male being who fussed about Women's clothes, By common consent there ig something Wrong somewhere. Men who before complained that their office girls spent too much office time fixing | their hair now hide their modest faces because the office girls come to work with bobbed heir. The man who moans or fusses around because women's clothes don't suit him is either a ninny or a mollycoddle or is about to become one. The difference is negligible, ---------- EAST AND WEST, When the Britisher grew too num- erous for is "tight little isle" and began a policy of world emigration, he was welcomed as an excellent as- set wherever he went. Indeed, the vast areas of the globe awaiting de- velopment eagerly souglit him, and many countries vied with one an- other to attract the British emigrant. To a less extent perhaps, but still with open arms, the white races, and especially the northern races, were cordially welcome. It is different with the Oriental. He has never been welcomed; he hag been scarcely tolerated, and {You constantly hear of the yellow peril. The prejudice against the Oriental is partly though not 'wholly economic, Accustomed as he is in his own coun- tries to unremitting toil for almost sixteen hours a day, to a frugality unknown among us, to the coarsest and cheapest food,' and in not too great abundanee, he comes in this country into immediate competition with the laborer who for generations has been steadily lessening his hours of work and raising his standard of living. It is a simple fact that the white races are fin no position to Compete with Oriental labor, The Oriental has also been stead- ily exploited in the interests of large construction and mining corpora- tions; for the Oriental, to the extent that he has been organized at all, hag been organized In guilds of his own countrymen, operated largely from foreign headquarters, He has had nothing to contribute to the country to which he came, no jdeals, no high standards, no enriching cul- ture, or literature, or art or religion. He has had nothing but his own in- dividual asset of cheap labor to sell, often cheaper than it was worth and always cheaper than his fellow white laborer could offer, It is no wonder, therefore, that on economic grounds the people on the Pacific coast ofthe United States and Canada, who have been the only ones to feel this econ- omic pressure" with any severity, should be In constant protest against any policy of the League of Nations or. the Imperial Conference which would make possible, even remotely, the relaxing of Immigration laws against Oriental laborers, But there is a deeper reason for protest against the influx or Orient- 8s. It lies in an instinctive anti pathy to the mixing of the yellow and white races, Without calling either of them the inferior of the other, without observing the disdain with which the native East Indian looks upon cheap white trash, or the equal air of superiority of the white man in the Orient, there is a deep- seated conviction thad the Eurasian seems to retain the vices of both the races from which he springs without Pthe virtues of either. "Missionaries feel this. They are willing to spend thelr lives with great sacrifice to help the Oriental in every conceivable Way, to preach the gospel to the Poor, to heal the sick, to cleanse the leper, to ® the lame walk. But it is ) ad- vantages alone that, in thet sacrifice, they are willing to make the further sacrifice of keeping 'thelr children in the compound abroad and to. send them home to their native country in their tender years, less greater j evils befall them. It is no uncom- { mon sight in British Columbia t> | 8¢0 in the boxes of the theatres well- | to-do, prosperous, even rich, and | generally attractive Orientals. It is { more than economic fear, and it Is { not lack of religious zeal on their be- | alt, that keeps these Orientals out {of the drawing rooms of our people. { There is no reason why there { should not be peace on the Pacific; [no reason why there should not be | the fullest measure of co-operation | between Eastern and Western civili- | zations, but Mr. Metghen will have | the fullest support of the people of | Canada, and the overseag dominions {an well, in hig insistence that the {Canadian parliament shall have full control of her immigration policy, It Seems to be the mature judgment of those who have thought most deeply | into the problem that the world will {be a better world if each nation, re- | specting the rights of all other na- | tions, makes its own contribution to advancing civilization, and works out | its own destiny in its own way, | ---- CANADA'S STRONG POSITION. According to many public men | from Great Britain and some of the | European countries who have recent- | ly been visiting Canada, the people | ot this country do not fully realize {Just how fortunate they are in liv- ing in such a dominion as Canada. It is perhaps strange, but it is never- theless true, that visitors to this country find far more to praise and In which to find hope that do our Own people. Time and again during the past few weeks, speakers from other countries, prominent amc ngst them being Councillor Peter Wright, that great patriot end orator, have pointed out the splendid position which Canada occupies in compari- son to the other countries of the world to-day, and have wondered why our people do not appreciate our good fortune in the way they ought to do. A glance through the columns of any newspaper any day will show the truth of their assertions. In comparison with other countries, the position of Canada is indeed a good one, and our economic life is in a far more healthy condition. .In spite of the improvement in conditions in most countries, compared with what they were a year ago, they are still far behind Canada in prosperity and in economic law and order. Let us look around us, and what do we see? Germany, with the mark depreciated to such an extent ag to be almost worthless, finds herself once again in a critical position, with the govern- ment resigning because of the im- Doseibility of saving the economic fabric 'of the nation. China is in a state of almost complete bankruptey. Side. by side with that announce- ment is one that Holland is in the throes of a financial debacle, and it is suggested that she should sell her West Indian colonieg to the United States in order to put her finances in order, Austria and Hungary . are in the grip of governmental troubles, and are suffering from absolute pov- erty. Russia hag twenty millions in a condition akin to starvation, and is dependent on outside relief to keep them alive, and Great Britain, with a deplorable unemployment situation, is staggering under a huge load of debt, with the added handicap of greatly reduced trade, Even the United States has its troubles with unemployment and labour disputes, and is in none too good a position. Then let us turn to Canada. We have, it is true, a certain amount of unemployment, but that is de- creasing, and were our natural re- Sources to be utilized to get rid of this problem then not & man would be without work, unless he did not wish to work. Canada, of all the countries mentioned, is the only one which can stand an influx of popula- tion. All the others are overcrowd- ed, and it is this very avercrowding that has been the cause of most of their troubles, They are unable to absorb even their own population, while Canada, with its illimitable ve- sources, can not only absorb ita own Population, but can provide for mil- lions-more, There is little poverty in Canada, and no starvation, except in, perhaps, one, or two isolated cases in which there are other contributory factors. The present time is singularly free from labour troubles, and the coun- try, although suffering from a alight temporary depression, is in such a position that the wheels of Industry can be set revolving at full speed again almost overnight. Finaneial- ly, the country is sold. That eannot ' | be questioned. The national debt is higher than it has ever been, but not 60 high that it becomes a burden on 2 country with such vast resources as are contained in Canada. The peo- Ple of Canada are citizens of a fav- oured natiom, of a nation Which stands in a position which is the envy of the world. But we are either too indifferent or too blisd to realize our own strength, and to set to work to develop it, for development is an; sh boafed. 16 Jie Cann ds, not only prosperous and to take care of her own population fn a man. ver which befits her greatness, hut #150 to help the other countries, and THE DAILY BRIT | } | | | | . 7 3 " WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2, in.

For when we're young the world's before us, tomorrow is the day of fate, and languid hours but peeve and bore us, it is a punishment to wait. But when we're old the world's behind us, we are but relics of and all the fleeting hours remind us that any one may be our last. And new the hours seem in a hurry, like racing figures on the screen, and swift the seasons scoot and scurry, as though propelled by gasoline.
