GERMANY'S FORESTRY POLICY. The timber resources of Germany are nx only thoroughly protected against forest fires but have been im- tensely developed by scientific fores- try practice so that Germany in 1914 |€ut more timber than comes from the | whole of Canada each year, and at oho same time Germany is rapidly in. creasing its "capital stock" of for- ests. The explanation is hat in the [tat decade the German forestors | have so succeeded in excluding forest | Aires and in operating their entire {forest arem as a self reproducing | "timber farm" that while taking great timber crops out of the forest year by year they have not in the |alightest degrees weakened the na- | tional store of commercial woods. | Canada on the other hand has allow- {ed her forest wealth during the "past few decades to be so ravaged by fire and so destructively lumbered that her forests, unlike Germany's, have been cut easily in half. Ope quarter | | of the whole German Empire is wood ed and practically every acre control. led and exploited by skilled foresters, ------------ A MONARCHISTIC COUP. Later developments in Germany leave little doubt that the scheme for {a monarchistic coup to overthrow | the republic was a really gigantie | plot which has been traced so close arms and military equipment discov- | ered in various locations is a wara- | ing to the democratic t! watch upon those known to be Wve i | in monarchistic conspiracies, With | Ludendortf at the head, must be made more rigid. | | As the situation turns out in tie | light of recent information the! | scheme was not to make a swift, | | vigorous assault upon Berlin with | j fae view of capturing governments, authority in one dashing stroke, but | to stage a series of revolts in a num- ber of towns and cities, throwing an iron ring about the capital. Then | the plotters would Just sit down an | let the siege run along until the re- public's officials should be ready te capitulate, running the country fro. | another capital, The significant feature of the ex- posure is that the former kaiser and crown prince have not been the in. nocent, philosophical, resigned exiles they have pretended to be. Both were ready to take flight back to Germany when the signal went up. Their disappointment must be de- pressing. ---- GERMANY'S DESPERATE PLAY. An interesting situation would be created by an officlal German declar- @tion of the country's bankruptey. 14 would be unparalleled in that the ré- pudiation would be mot merely of or- dinary indebtedness. The repara- tions claims of Germany's war vic- tims occupy a preferred position in such degree that nothing more than default on a single Payment is need- ed to justify eeizure of the country. To some extent there will be seizure, we may be sure, but that this will re- sult in gatisfaction of the French claims, for instance, is very doubtful. A confession of bankruptey by Germany would amount to an admis- sion of ineptitude in management of the nation's affairs. The indicated treatment would be a "receivership," something never before undertaken in the case of a country of any mag- nitude. The purpose of receivership 'would be to reorganize the German fiscal structure to the end that Ger- many might pay her debts. It would be for the benefit of creditors primar. ily. That the creditors' interests might be saved, it would be essential to put Germany "on its feet." At the end of the receivership Germany would be found more substantial than some of its present creditors desire it to be. And these latter would have contributed to the rehabilitation at no little cost to themselves, prob- ably. - Leaving aside all questions of Ger- man deflance of her conquerors, of downright dishonesty in the manage- ment of her affairs with purpose to cheat those with Just claims against her, it will appear that Germany's state, if as represented in current Te- ports, is a bit more favorable to the late enemy than it would have been had a somewhat different course been followed by the Allies from the be- ginning of the attémpt to make her pay as she should. -------------------- HERE'S TO YOU--THE MAIL. A' Half certury ago'the Toronto Mail, now the Mail gnd Empire, came into existence and to mark the event it has issued a splendid special edi- tion in magazine form. The develop- ment of Canada in its lifetime is ably Presented by the editors. The finan- cial, industrial, commercial, agricul- tural, education and social advance- ments are succintly stated. The pap- | 85th year, along with all new er started its career with "high vik hopes, good intentions and a capital of $280,000." Its aims are same but its capital hag been advanced several hundred per cent.--happily its divi- dends are always paid and at a good per cemt. The Mail has been an ab- sorber; i merged with the Empire in 1895 and has since bought the News and the World. The Sunday World Is otill continued and is conducied with greater brilliancy than ever. The Paper's fifty years of service has been abundantly satisfying. It hés had a dig share in moulding and fashioning the peoples it catered to and today it is one of the leaders in Canadian newspaperdom. It has a circulation the equal of anything in the morning fleld. Iis news service is amply and wide spread; it features Canadian events with pardonable suc- cess, its world-wide news comes from the most efficient sources, Every de- partment is capably manned, is care- fully supervised and only the best, finde entry to its pages. Its political policy is virile, definite, aggressive. The Whig cannot follow #t but as the exponent of Conservatism it stands Square for all the political convic- tions of that party. It is not a wob- bler but is as genuinely Conserva- tive as the best of the Canadian ex- ponents of its shibboleths. It is frank and fair and positive as to its beliefs and this is to be admired, even in an opponent. The Whig, in its spapers, congratulates the Mail and Empire on {ts vigorous half-century and hopes It may see more Prosperous times in the days to come. * ------ REVISING THE U. 8. TARIFF. All 18 not going well with the Re- publican party at Washington. Tha attempt to raise the tariff schedules is meeting with strenuous opposi- tion, not only from the Democrats, On Thursday the ajority leaders in the senate suffer- ed a severe defeat when their party deserted them and voted with the Democrats to defeat the first ten of the cotton schedule rates. The old guard, the dispatches relate, battled In vain to break the lines of the op- position. Senator Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey, is the latest Republican to serve warning that the tariff bin must be revised. A staunch believer in protection, he declares he cannot vote for a hard and fast tariff whieh fails to provide for elasticity in rates to meet the changing condi- tions due to world wide instability following the war. To do so, he says, might invite national calamity, re- sulting in a diminution of trade with the world necessary for the prosper- ity of all Americans. A tariff which, w better protection, results primarily and practically in a general raising of prices at home without corres ponding encouragement to world trade would be, he believes, a fata] error. He boldly says that congress has not the technical knowledge needful to pass on the entire list of duties. The need is for scientific as- sembling of facts about costs of pro- duction at home and abroad and provision for adjusting the rates the fluctuations of exchange and for- eign producing conditions. Neither of these are provided in the present bill, which would loosaly authorize the president to make whatever adjustment subsequent changes may demand. But before the president can act he will require technical information and, unlike congress, has confessed his desire for it. The increasing revolt against | haphazard tariff making by con- | gress without scientific information and the demand for basic facts upon which rates may be determined and executive adjustments made, is the outstanding feature of the protracted debate. In view of the latest eventu. alities, following as it does Repiibil- can losses in three or four states, It would not be surprising to see the entire tariff bill shelved until after the fall elections.
