LLOYD-GEORGE’'S BIG LAND SCHEME. The despatches tell us that England breathless with astonishment at the audacity of the British Chancellor of the Exchequer in trenchng upon one of the most sacred of all the sacred vested inter- ests—that of land. He has de- clared that Britain's land sys- tem is a ghastly failure, and one must not be overready to attach the same discouraging label to his campaign against it on aecount of the indefinite- ness of his speeches as they are briefly reported to us. He knows and clearly understands the evils He also know and clearly understands the rem. edy. His political career has not warranted the fear that he will hesitate over the ap- plication. He knows that land owners can take to themselves the benefits of increased fer- tility of the soil and improved agricultural methods, that they can take to themselves the benetits of mineral richness, and also the benefits of the im- proved industrial processes which multiply the productive power of labor. He knows the dand owners cau take to them- selves the benefits of Britain’s freedom from trade obstruc- tion, and the benefits of every improvement in industrial, commercial and financial meth- is ods. He*‘knows that old age pension and ternity benefit will be collected by the land owners, who will thereby be enabled to propor- tionately shade up rentals, It is clear to him that the land system must bring every benefit and improvement to naught, for the land owners are not obliged to leave the productive even his his ma- workers anything more than a bare living. Where this hard principle of business is abandoned the results are still more deplorable, for the land is then turned into . private parks and the producers driven away. Lloyd-George has shown the courage to adopt emergency measures’ to avert the racial deterioration and = destruction which the British land system would, if unehecked, entail. Will he be equally courageous in adopting a fundamental and permanent reform? There is every reason to hope that he will, But if he should prove disappointing, if the mountain should bring forth a mouse, the cause of reform must go on without him. The move- ment has now too much head- way to be checked by recalci- trance anywhere. Even with- out the stimulus of the Chan- cellor’s commanding ability it will be earried on to ultimate success, { QUEENSTOWN NOTES. D.

Word to this effect came in on the Empress of India, illustrat- ing the curious channels’ by which news items of world in- terest often travel. The great Chinese revolutionary leader is charged with misappropriating in the neighborhood of two mil- lion tael, approximately $160,- 000, presumably from the funds of the revolutionary party. Local Chinese some time ago became suspicious when they re- ceived no receipt for the $5,000 they forwarded him for the fur- therance of the cause. They were treated in this way once before by a Mandarin at Canton to whom they sent money. Investigations were carried on in the usual Chinese way and it was discover- ed that other money forwarded to Dr. Sun had not been received by the heads of the party. It was only a few days ago that passengers from the Orient brought information that Sun Yat Sen had. travelled) on the Awa Maru, disguised as a Japan- ese and landed at Kobe. Passen- the ‘the gers on Empress of India confim this, saying that it has been known for some time ‘he was hiding near Kobe, but that he had not disembarked at the city. Dr. Sun’ left the ship at Kobe and had no diffieulty in hiding as he has many friends there. fact in connection with his sensational flight from China came to light through the American consul at Formosa, who was @ passenger on the boat and who stated that Dr. Sun did Another not travel directly from Hong- kong to Japan, but spent some weeks in Formosa and boarded the Awa at that port, This cir- cumstance fills in the big gap since the announcement of his flight from Shanghai some weeks ago and his discovery on board the Awa Maru. The arrest in Japan was undoubledly at the instigation of the Chinese Goy- ernment, for those, familiar with siluation state that Japan would never have taken any steps to interfere with Sun. Japan is believed to have fin- anced the revolution and was al- together too friendly with Sun Yat Sen to have taken steps of its own accord. There is an extra- dition treaty between Japan and China, however, and Sun is held pending the presenting of ar- rangements for taking him back to China to face the charge aga- inst him. The Empress. of bound, received the information from the Empress of Russia, outbound. The two vessels were in wireless communication and India, in- the Russia had picked up the in- formation in a message from the Oriental coast. ENGLISH CAPITAL TO BUILD RAILWAY TO GROUNDHOG COAL ARRANGEMENTS UNDER WAY FOR LONDON SYNDICATE TO TAKE UP LARGE COAL AREAS AND SUPPLY COAST CITIES WITH FUEL According to a special article in the Vancouver Province, Eng- lish capital is behind a project to develop the Groundhog coal fields on a large seale and in this connection will build a= railway from Stewart to the coal fields. The Miner has on more than one occasion pointed out that Stew- art is by far the nearest town to the coal deposits, and being on tidewater has the additional ad- vantage over all other competi- tors in the matter of economy in the handling of the “black dia- mond.” The writer in the Prov- ince says he has the best direct authority for stating that ar-| rangements are under way in London to organize a company to take up a large portion of the) Groundhog Mountain coal field | and build a railway from Stewart to afford transportation so that| the coal can be mined and shipped out to coast cities, in which the anthracite coal would no doubt be in demand for heating pur- poses; though it is probable the price will be high on account of transportation costs and the cost of living to miners working there until the field becomes well de.~ veloped. Whether or not it is the pur- pose of the English company to take over Sir D. D. Mann's Can- adian Northeastern Railway char- ter the writer does not state, but the outlook appears to be more hopeful that a move of import- ance is now on foot in which Stewart promises to play an im- portant part.—Portland Canal Miner.
