The news of the redistribu-

speculators are to be allowed
to retain their lands,

tion of the British forces along! If the figures of acreage

available for farming, brought
down by the Hon. W. R. Ross
and his colleagues in the past,

the western front is one of the
most reassuring items that has
been received for weeks. There
denying the fact that
there has been just a little un-
easiness as to the final out-
come of the repeated furious
German assaults against Ver-
dun.
of the ability and bravery of
the French’ soldiers, there has |
sometimes been a vision of |
Hun hordes breaking through
at some weak spot and causing
no end of trouble, though, of
course, there has never been
the slightest doubt as to the

Tories were now about to hand
out rather harsh treatment to
some of their former friends.
In spite of our knowledge If there is such a huge avail-
able acreage which the specu-
lators have not grabbed, why
not open up the entirely new
lands to the returning soldiers?
The public benefactors, as

past, would still have their op-
portunity of doing noble work

Now comes the news that, soldiers would be given a
while the Germans have been chance to open up territory

which is at present untouched.
The fact of the matter is, as
Moses Cotsworth has shown
from the official records at
Victoria, the lands really worth
having are in the hands of the
“benefactors” and the boys
who are returning from the
front must be given land and
not rocks.

Our returned’ soldiers are
entitled to nothing but the
best, and the speculators have

Allied troops on the other por-
tion of the same front have
been calmly indulging in new
moves on the board, not with
a view to checking any possible
German advance, but in prep-
aration for a big offensive.

confidence of the Allies in the
ability of the gallant little
French army at Verdun to re-

last visit tc Prince Rupert,

AT LAST talked of the millions of acres

of farming land which was still
open for pre-emption, all good
land, but evidently this huge
acreage is not good enough for
our soldiers, which is just ex-
actly in keeping with the state-
ments made by Moses and many
others. The speculators had
the best and, at last, some of
them are to be made to hand
it over. Doubtless the results
in Vancouver and Victoria had
much to do with this move.

The Soldiers’ Homestead Act,
brought in by the minister of
lands, is ample evidence of the
fact that the Bowser govern-
ment is ready at last to adopt
the Liberal policy of taking the
land away from the speculators
who have not paid for it. Of
course, the government has
brought down an extended mor-
atorium by which the Lieuten-
ant-Governor will be able to

NOTES AND COMMENTS

A number of fishermen along
the waterfront were discussing
the recent article in The Daily
News on the salmon monopoly
yesterday, when one of the num-
“All we want is
that white men have equal rights

with the Japs.”
s s s

With the American fishermen
on strike, the Canadian bottoms
are doing good business. If the
strike lasts long enough it may
lead to a big increase in the num-
ber of Canadian craft out o!
Prince Rupert.

remarked

The Victoria Colonist takes a
column to show that Bowser was
not boss of the McBride govern-
ment and that poor Dick had a
will of his own. We suppose i
was Dick’s strength of will which
stopped that April 1915 election.

Now that the drydock question
has been amicably settied every-
body is happy.

If the siayor can save the city
$1,800 a year by making a trip to
Victoria, how much _ could he
