The most { difficult phase of its work remains to 1 { others which threaten the peace of { mankind still await solution, Reducing armaments is in itself a comparatively simple thing.

Such an agency is inevitable, It will be based not only the economic advan for mankind but upon an which is built on something than taxes or materialistic considera- tions. Its foundations must rest on | justice, fair dealing 4nd good will among nations, This is the aim of | the League of Nations;; and sooner or later the United States must in- evitably lend its support. ages it has idealism on finer THINK, TALK, PRAY, FOR PEACE, The desire for peace is universal. If the will to maintain peace is suf- ficlently strong there is no question of the outcome. But there must be a popular demonstration that will override every objection which prac- tical statesmen of the old school may advance against disarmament, on which peace in large measure de- pends, in The conference now as- sembled at Washington, On the people devolves the mak- ing of the demonstration, the im- pressing on' the minds of those dele- gated to make decisions the truth that nothing less than peace--dur- able peace--'will satisfy the peoples of the earth. The demonstration will be psycho- logical. 'T'will be the more effective for that. Let us make the very air vocal with the popular demand. There is no power on earth capable of resisting it. "The voice of the people is fe voice of God." It will be heard. Think peace. Talk of peace. for peace. Thus can the people convince their representatives that peace through disarmament, warranted, justified and guaranteed by the simple spirit of justice, must be, . Pray for peace, earnestly, unre- mittingly, Think peace--it can and shall be--and you will support the faith which your prayers voice. Faith without work is futile. The plain people thinking peace will make their will felt where it needs to be felt, Talk peace. A mighty volume of sound raised to the single purpose of compelling peace will be_heard. Faith we have, but we must make it known, Too long have the people been inarticulate on this subject nearest their hearts. Their thoughts, their prayers and thelr voices will carry to the ears of those gathered to act for us--if you so will.

Those who are responsibie for the | of Dr. Rois and who by running him they | dragoon all ex-soldiers one political camp, are ce ly us- ing every opportunity to play entiment. The ex-soldiers, ti thought "that into | upon | these misguided zealots, must s* their all, their and fuiure welfare upon the return :o power of the Meighen government, and upon of Dr. Ross, It is as mischevious as it !s eruel to try and make ex-soldiers and their relatives feel that they should espouse the cause of any one caudi- | that failure to do so will | deep displeasure, The ex- soldiers should be protected from anything like that, for all political parties recognize a deep debt them, and their just claims should | not be prejudiced in the manner that certain unscrupulous political work- | ers are trying to prejudice them. All ex-soldiers are at liberty to they please, and they can rest assured that no matter whether the Liberal or Progressive parties come into power, both of them will, | present date or merit to as {as in duty bound, give them every | consideration, for Canada's honor is | with respect to them and | not the mere caprice of a particular party, Under these circumstances misguided politicians who | endeavor, through the in- | strumentality of organiza- tions, or local bosses, to coerce the veteran . {soldier and ex-soldier vote, are ene- | | summer ones. mies and not the true friends, If they | were permitted to have their they would ruthlessly expose these | way voters to the cruel buffeting of party politics. The ex-soldier in casting his vote bl s entitled to judge for himself--and ! he is quite capable of doing so--the | {issues in this election: whether the | {conditions prevailing throughout the | | country at the present time are to be | | ; | permitted, or whether he is going to | acquit himself as a soldier and a | | man, help change them for the bet- | | ter, He should endeavor to realize that his interests are bound up in| his country'® welfare, and not en- | family, to the fortunes of a govern- ment that has become u terly dis- credited through inability to institute business methods, and which is doomed to certain defeat. With respect to the local situation little need be said for all know the need of an awakening and John M. | Campbell, renowned as a business | man engaged in big undertakings, has a clear-cut policy of development that he has been pursuing with great energy during the past four years, which will spell progress not only in Kingston but throughout the whole of eastern Ontario, He has, during that time, given his services without remuneration of any sort, not even putting in his bill to the eity for ex- penses tq cover his journeys to out- side points, such as Toronto, Mont- real, Ottawa, Hamilton, Buffalo and | other cities, Qnly his intense desire | to put into practical effect big pro- | jects for the development of indue- | tries, transportation and power, has brought him into the field for eleec- tion to parliament at this time, and his defeat will seriously jeopardise the progress of the scheme, He asks all citizens to go-forward with him in the march of progress, and con- sidering his past achievements, his vision, and business capacity he is entitled to our entire confidence. We can never go back to pre-war conditions, and the returned veteran, perhaps more than any othér class of citizens, knows that Canada is not the same place it was when he left it. 'This is pot his fault, but the fault of those entrusted with its wel fare and his. While we all know that something is radically wrong we must all give what assistance we can to those especially qualified to carry out with vigor constructive and ag- gressive policies. We have waited too long already. Something has got to be done. Pat's Come Back. "Father," sald a liquor-loving Irishman, on meeting 'the parish priest one day; "phwat is lumbago?"
