Lill first read the American declar-: ation of independence and the original dom: she will find in Canada. Most of the article is devoted to criticsim of ; conditions in her native country, where ; with the Ku-Klux-Klan, the Society | for the suppression of Vice, the Anti- { | Cigarette League, racial organizations: censorship and so forth, neither though nor speech is now free. cof the conditions across the border that call forth these strictures. = It makes, however, pleasant reading to' be told that there is vastly greater iiberty in Canada that in the republic that has so long boasted its freedom. Yet let us lay no flattering unction to our souls. it be filched away, as this writer de- clares it has been in the United States | In Canada, a$ in other countries, the war brought curtailment of freedom. i At times it appeared that the British | ! tradition in this respect was in danger of being lost forever. Since the war; conditions have been considerably im- proved, but the swing back to normal "has been slow. If this is really to be {a land of the free, we must still strive "to assert and defend every proper lib-} erty. 'and of. the community. What we have of freedom: | : 'away as requires zealous watch and guard, lest | The ardent anti-prohibitionist will of course come to bat immediately with the assertion that the worst and {greatest restriction of liberties and violation of the British tradition is the prohibition law. That, however, is not the case, since every province has the option of controlling the sale of liquor exactly as suits it best, and prohi- [bition cannot stand except by will of the majority. : It is rather the tyranny of minor- ities that results in improper restrict- ions upon normal liberties--the min- orities who, when something does not}: please them, immediately clamour loudly for the law and 'sometimes se- cure it by the very loudness of their shouting... Or, if it is not a matter to be effectively dealt with by legislation, they frequently obtain their undesir- able objectives by other memans----the boycott or gross distortion of -pbife opinion. There is an example in the Sati, of the Roberts case, 'Before the awr, the country owuld have been ringing with} denunciation of the action of the Que- bec legislature in passing special leg- islation for the sake of imprisoning Roberts without due trial in the courts. When this actually transpired, how- ever, not a few Canadian newspapers casually remarked that the paper Rob- erts edited was a very objectionable] sort of sheet, and he should be sup- pressed. There thesubtle influence of war-time suppression and censorship, *is clearly revealed. That the Robert's case is an. outrage upon the liberty of the subject and an arrogant misuse of 'power by a group of politicians, did not seem to occur to these papers at 'all; and certainly. theere has been little public attention paid the matter. We have seen the same thing in Winnipeg quite recently, though in somewhat different form. The Sun- day observance law was being enfore- ed in Winnipeg in a manner satisfac- tory te nine-tenths of the people, All at once, at the demand of a neglig- ible minority, the law was enforced to the strict and arbitrary letter, and thousands of people put to greater in- convenience in consequence. If we have greater freedom than the people of. the United States, that for and also .-to be concerned about.

In Prague, important steps are being taken to co-ordinate the work of gov- ernment and voluntary social agencies to that a minimum amount of good | may be done with the least possible overlapping of effort. Belgium is now | launching a vigorous campaign to] to bring about the complete suppres- sion of white lead industry. As far East Africa, an energetic campaign is being carried on against 'he ravages of cattle plague, but what- aver the place, it has its own prob- Jems to be dealt with. ! ':.

An interesting publication has just been distributed among the Mussulmans of Northern Africa: It is éntitled "Kitab- Lec-Cibba" which ' signifies, in Arabic {Book of Good Health".

The booklet makes reference to the 'words of Mohomet! "Cleanliness is the sword of the believer. If any evil overtake you when you have not per- formed ablutions, blame no one but sourself." The passage of Koran; "Allah creates beings that you know not of." has been introduced in the chapter on contagious - diseases; the beings that man knows . not of are the micro- organisms.
