Travelling by rail across Canada, one meets many and various people. It is extremely interesting to hear them discuss Can- adian problems, and the problems of the world. You get new view points, and much information. Many who are now travel- ling from East to West, or West to East, are. men representing big business interests, and they tell of business conditions from the angle where they stand. Occasionally, however, a different type of traveller is found and it is about one of these travellers of different type and the work that he represents that we will write for the present. Mr. Alfred Zimmern is a quiet English gentleman who would not be picked out at. first glance as a person of first-class import- ance. But he is, and has played and is playing an important part in the work of the League of Nations. I could not tell exactly what his official position is, but one thing was learned--he wrote the original draft of the Covenant of the League of Nations and is at present engaged in explaining the purposes and problems of the League in the various countries of the world. Mrs. Zimmern accompanied her husband. She is a French lady and possesses all the enthusiasms and volubility of the French--a most interesting conversationalist but it is not at present possible to deal with any of her topics of conversation. Mr. Zimmern had been speaking in Boston, and was just re- durning from Saskatoon. He was slated to speak in Hamilton, Toronto, and New York. After that he returned to Europe where he travels from country to country seéking to harmonize the many differences that arise. He can converse with ease in many languages, and is equally at home with Czeck-Slovakians or Can- adians. War Now a Crime. The greatest accomplishment of the League of Nations is that for the first time in the history of humanity war is declared to be a crime; and the nation that refuses to arbitrate, automatically becomes the criminal. That is a wonderful step in advance, and it is well to note some of the reasons which made such a step possible. The greatest of these reasons is that war conditions have been reversed. In former wars the "defensive" was a great if not the greatest fact. Now there is:practically no "defensive" nor 1s there any "safety zone." Any great war conducted today would be almost entirely an "offensive" campaign. Flotillas of airships with given zones of patrol will carry high explosives and bombs of poison gas over enemy territory. These weapons are said to be 80 effective that towns and cities with all their inhabitants can easily be wiped out of existence, Poison gas has reached a stage tion with incredible rapidity, if all its terrors were let loose. If in past years the world could not afford-to go to- war, it-can- still less afford to do so now. Effective Public Opinion The League of Nations has three main offices. It is a court of arbitration, having dealt with some 600 treaties, making many adjustments, and stopping war where friction arises between two countries. It is a moulder of public opinion; and this is its great- est function--to give the world constructive ideas of peace, in- stead of destructive ideas of war. It is a policeman able to~call to its assistance the nations which have signed the Covenant. It is about this third office of the League that the great dis- cussions regarding the League of Nations have arisen. Nations have signed the Covenant, but are inclined to haggle as to their esponsibility in the matter of enforcement of the findings of the gue. In the protocol dealing with this phase of the matter each signatory nation is asked to be responsible for such quota of source warrant. In brief this means that the nation close to the enforcing power as their geographical position and military re- scene of trouble would be expected to give greater assistance than those at a distance; and nations with strong military. force would be required to assist according to their strength. 'Under such conditions Canada would not be required or ex- pected to take any prominent part in the enforcement of' League findings affecting European or Asiatic countries; but if trouble arose in North America our forces would be fully engaged (which they would be in any case.) ; But there is another phase of enforcement that affects every signatory country." It is this: As soon as a country is declared to be the aggressor in any war, all the signatory nations cut off all business relations with the offending country. It is claimed that if such united action can be secured, this yeott will put an effective stop to war, because the country. will} not be able to buy or sell with other countries; and its inter- national banking operations will be suspended, which will effect- ually cripple its national credit and effectively stop its ability to 4 The League Idea Growing ping from Monday's Globe gives an indication Nations idea is growing: - rman Government has that it has every intention of joining the a amber, ut at the same Home aa ition is dependent on ing a sec shall have tn equal place with France 3 Doc FOR TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION ~~ ["** nreliability of the temperance of Parliament atroducing and largely dependent on factors beyond the realms of the farmers' control. = There must be a good market demand for farm pro- duets and the production costs must be kept in proper relation with market returns.

When a temperance "plebiscite" or a referendum is taken there is but one issue before the people. But when a provincial election is held there are many issues, and it is not easy to decide for whom to vote. If it were merely a choice between "wet" and "dry" candidates, the matter could be easily settled; but it seldom is as simple as that. In fact the election, in which Sir William Heart was de- feated, did not feature temperance legislation in any form. He was defeated by the farmer movement--that and nothing else. And none were more surprised than the farmers themselves at 'notified the| The young men's Parliament meets | a platform, and have always stood legislation.

As Jarvis had already paid $140,000 of the fine to the Province, Mr. Nickle declared, it is not to be considered seriously that he will not pay the other $60,000 to escape the five years' imprisonment. : : real) Qin.
