It $8 ammounced from the head- quarters of the G.W.V.A. at Ottawa, that a definite plan for amalgamation '{'of the various organizations of war veterans will be undertaken at the '| provincial convention of that body. to be held at St. Catharines in the first week of September. There is every prospect that the move will meet 'with success, and that, after years of effort, the veterans will be united in one body, Instead of being split up into several as they bave been for the past five or six years. The consummatiol of this plan will be peculiarly gratifying to some of the men who have labored for it ever since organization of the war veterans began. The only unfortunate point is that is has been so long in reaching its prescht stage. Had this been ac- complished in 1919 instead of in 1923, it is possible that a unit<d body of veterans might have accomplish- ed much during the re-establishment 243 | period following the war. Even with the veterans divided into several organizations, they were able to do many splendid things for the widows and orphans of our fallen heroes, and for those who came home «is- abled in mind and bedy. To the G.W.V.A., belongs undying credit for the splendid fight made for re- cognition of the claims of the veter- ans, and the constantly constructive policy of that organization is one of the brightest spots in the varied his- tory of organized war veterans. While other bodies sprang up, made fantastic claims and passed away &f- ter a brief and fruitful existence, the G.W.V.A. pursued a sane, even course, and more than justified its existence. That, however, belohgs to the past. The days of hard fightling- for a square deal for the war veterans are over. For that reason, it is unfor- tunate that the amalgamation has been delayed so long. Had it been possible four years ago, the united effort of the alliance of veterans would have brought even greater re- cognition of their services and sacri- fice than has been given. The amal- gamation has come too late to be of effective use in fighting the battles of the soldiers. Except for a few isolated problem cases, the re-estab- lishment of the veterans is complete. Pensions problems, thanks largely to the efforts of the G.W.V.A., have been amicably settled so that there is. very little left to do. 'The new alliance, of course, still can find im- portant work in perpetuating the splendid spirit of patriotism and self- sacrifice which animated our Cana- dian soldiers, and in doing this it can stifl render a service to Canada which will be worth much to the gen- erations to come. KINGSTON'S PAVED STREETS. Kingston has forty-two miles of streets, of which thirty-enght are built, the other four miles be- ing unopened. Of the thinty-eight miles in use, over eleven are of per- manent paving construction. In another year one-third of the city roadways will be paved with sheet asphalt and asphalt blocks. This is considered a high percentage of permanently paved roads for a city the size of Kingston. In fact it ie doubtful if any other place near its size in the province can show up so well in regard to road paving. When the city (is able to effect an agree- ment with the etreet railway com- pany for the paving of Alfred slreet from Princess to Union, Kingston may be able to take a 'paving holi- day," as most of the main road ar- teries will have been constructed permanently. BRITAIN'S PROBLEM. Great Britain has found herself in a difficult position owing to the more recent developments in the Eu- ropean situation. In making a sin- cere effort to bring about & settie- ment of the question of reparations, a question which must be settled before normal conditions can re- turn, she hias been charged by some of the Qeading French statesmen and newspapers with going over to | the side of Germany and opposing her former Allies, Belgium and France, This is, of course, a distort ed viewpoint. Britain's only desire 1s to discover a way out of the eco- nomic muddle in which Eurapd finds itself as a result of the fron hand the unsettled condition of European affairs, which have z deciding effect ! on British trade. With these figures | before them it j¢ but natural that | British statesmen are anxious for a | settlement of affairs and insist taal drastic methods must be pursued to bring about a settlement. Unless there 4s a speedy change, conditions in Britain will rapidly become worse and her trade will disappear entire- ly, with disasirous results to the in-| dustries upon which the nation de- pends for its prosperity. Great Bri- tain cannot afford to stand idly by and see her industries close their | doors and her trade vanish. Tkat| | i8 the problem British statesmen are | called upon. to face, and. in their ef-| forts to settle. Europe's uroubles they i are not making any choice betwoen | France and Germany, but are takung | the steps they consider wisest for the | preservation of their own national | prosperity. SELECTION OF IMMIGRANTS. The report sent to the British go-| vernment by Ambassador Geddes re- | garding conditions at Elks Isiand, the receiving station for immigrants at New York, has aroused a cansi- derable storm of criticism. On the one side, the ambassador {is being cri- ticized in tne Wnited States on the ground that be has no right to in- terfere in a question which 1s a do- mestic one ard in which he should take no part. This is a fine point, but it by no means covems up the criticism wilich has been arousad of the United States' methods 6f dealing with immigrants and the newspaper comments from Great Britain expres- ses horror and disgust, at the condi-| tions revealed in the Geddes re- port. Wtkile these conditions are perhaps not as'good ms tiey might be for the comfort and convenience of people entering the United States, it must be admitted that the problem is by no means an easy one. The officials are faced with én unprecedented rush of people from all the countries of Europe, a heteregenuous mass of people of all clas¥s, ranks aud cal- lings, speaking many different lan- guages. Every ship brings its thou- sands, and the wonder is that it is possible to give them any accommv- dation at all during that trying pro- cess of examination. On the other hand, these officials are furnished with regulations which are of the very striatest, and which are hard to enforce. The guota re- gulation, by which only a certain fix- ed number from each country are al- lowed to enter eachmonth, is one of the hardest to enforce, and it works the greatest hardship on pros- pective scttlers. As soon as any country's quota is exhausted, no more from that country can enter the United States until the next month. This causes much of the trouble at Ellis Island. 'The biggest trouble with the im- migration system, not baly in the Un- ited States but in Canada as well, is that the weeding out is done at the wrong end. It would be much more effective, from every angle, if the selection and restriction of immigra- tion were dome, not at Elis Island, after the immigrants have crossed the Atlantic, but at the port of em- barkation. This would avoid the tangled conditions on this side of the ocean, the paim of rejection to the settler and the difficulties of en- forcing the law regarding the quota from each country. The United Stat- es already has its representatives in the various European countries. They could very easily be given au- thority to issue fmmigration permits to those who seek to go to the Unit- ed States, and to see that no more settlers left each country than al- lowed by the quota law. These per- mits could then be accepted as the only thing necessary to ensure entry on this side of the Atlantic The immigrants would then no longer have occasion to complain of condi- tions at the port of entry. | PRESS COMMENT Britain's Policy British, British policy is not pro-German.

There is the severe headache, vomit- ing, and acute abdominal pain, and | you feel "fed up" on everything and | everybody. What has happened? Its hard to say, but certainly there has been an "upsetment" of your liver and bile apparatus This does not necessarily come from overeating. I'll admit that overeating or wrong eating is most frequently the cause. But any exciting emotion, and severs shock, mental strain of any kind, even the strain on the eyes of poorly fitted glasses may bring on these attacks. Sometimes our old enemy con- stipation, simply backs tlyings up 80 badly that the liver and bile quit working. bs Now what's the treatment? Well, if it only occurs once in a great while, Nature will take care of you all right if you stop eaimg for a day or two. But if these attacks come at fre- quent intervals, consult your phys- ician and he may be able to locate the cause. Remember the symptoms of being "fed up" 'should really suggest the | treatment. You are "fed up" actually literally, so go to the other extreme. If fed up on too much or too rich food, avoid food for two days, and drink plenty of water. Pernaps & dose of caster oil would help mat- ters, If fed up mentally, take thought on the matter and if it is caused by strain or worry, try_to get con- | trol of yourself for your own and the family's sake. A good brisk walk or a change of scene for a few days will help the mental condition. However, the first thought as ever you know, is. the elimination of wastes of the body. » Why Pope Remains in Rome By Clarence Ludlow Brownell, M.A, F.R.GS. Those Knights of Columbus who would invite the Pope to the United States mean well and have ail due reverence for the Holy Father, Pon- tifex Maximus, but they do not give sufficient weight to the fact that the vicar of Christ, Sole Patriarch of the Western Church, is also Bishop of Rome. The Bishop of Rome, Archbishop of the Roman Province, must make iis home in his diocese. So Rome is and ever must be the home of its bishop, who is the Pope, or, as the Italians call him, Papa, Pastor Aet- ernus, According to the law of Italy, passed in 1871, the person of the Pope is inviolable, as sacred as the person of the king. He has royal privileges and all the freedom of any monarch, should he care to ex- ercise it. Even the postal service makes mo charge for communica- tions addressed to him. Merchandise from gbroad reaches the Vatican duty free. Cables and telegraph lines aye at his service. He may send messages to any station on the surface of the globe, and the Ital- ian government franks them. But, gince May 13th, 1871 his tempor- al power has been defined and lim- ited. At that time, the government set aside something over $600,000 annually, for a Vatican fund, but no pope bas touched a penny or it. Had this been allowed to accumu- late with interest, it would repre- sent a tidy fortune by now. Us- ually gonations of this sort are void it not accepted for five continuous years, but the government has hand- led the papal allowance with pecu- lior consideration. Father wish to use it, he may.

As there is no other office like that of Pope, so is there no other home compared to his, Such a home anyone, even a Vic- ar of Christ, would be loath to leave, and would do so only under the most dire necessity. Mere ex- pediency would not count at all. Indeed, Leo VIII made a most posi- tive declaration in the form of a motu proprio, a statement made on his own accord, to the effect that the Church was Roman, and that Rome must be its headquarters. Nevertheless, now and again there is a wave of discussion. Insuffic- jently informed, but unquestionably pious persons debate the various im- possible proposals. Some of these read well and to the unwitting are pleasingly plausible. The Vicar of Christ | has received invitations ' to ia, Africa, North and South Am- A and to France, Switzerland, Austria, and to the Azores. At one time many newspaper editors in the United States discussed the sugges- tion that the Pope should establish himself "in the land of the free." The so-called A. P. A., American Protective Association, which declar- ed for several sentiments similar to the Ku Klux Klan of today, saw death to all. liberty if the Holy Father came to the conthnent of North America. The A. P. A. is dead mow, and the Papacy nevér was so prosperous. This might not be so had the Popé come over, One declaration of the A.P.A. was flag of the United States that were there an attempt sion, hdaded though it might be the Vicar of Christ himself, he would enlist in an army to keep his Holiness out. 3 J Not counting anti-popes, who at varjous times were set up by politi- foal power not in harmony with the Fy { 11.00 Non-skid, guaranteed first quality Tires The Central Garage Limited Brock and Montreal Streets. WE NEVER CLOSE. College of Cardinals, or by groups of cardinals out of harmony with oth- er groups, there have been more than 28 popes, all Bishops of Rome. St, Peter was the first. In the sixteenth chapter of Mat- thew, there is an account of a dis- cussion as to who Jesus was. To some, he seefffed the reincarnation of Jeremias; to others, of John the Baptist, and to yet others, of Ellas. Peter said "Thou are the Christ, the Son of the living God.™ This pleased Jesus, for he replied, "Blessed art thou, S8imon Bar-jona (son of Jonah) for flesh and blood bath not revealedl it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. "And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gales of hell shall not prevail against it. "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt find on earth, shall be found in heaven; and what- soever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." The Roman Catholic Church claims that Peter was the first Bish- op of Rome whose home it has been 'definitely declared shall ever be in the Eternal City. Waste is not grandeur.
