May Be Difficult Position In Britain. The general opinion seems to be that the Labor Party in fireat llritniu will get a larger group than it has now as a result of the election which is to take place this month. That Aill mean they will still be dependant on the Liberals for support to keep them in power or to turn them out, If the proportion of parlies after the election is anything like what it is today the government will have In institute an inquiry into the alleged irregular withdrawal of the trial of a communist editor and will also it would seem have to withdraw from the Russian treaty, because both Liberals and Conservatives have expressed themselves as opposed to its terms. - If these matters are forced, it would seem as if the government will resign and there would be nothing for it but to choose the Conservative leader to again form a government. The threat to do this will doubtless be held over Liberals. J Everthing connected with the election is largely a matter of speculation for no one knows what an electorate is going tol do. There is a hare possibility that Labor may get a majority over all, but even the strongest supporters of the government hardly expect that. j Extend Welcome To Visiting Ministers. There- is no need to urge on the people of Prince Rupert to extend a hearty welcome to-the visiting Prime Minister and other ministers of the crown whn-arc Turning tomorrow. Prince Rupert people have a. habit of welcomingvisitors cordially and especially will it be the case with the Prime Minister of Canada. They will extend themselves a little on so important an occasion. .Messrs. Cardin and McfSivern are visitors who have not been here before, officially at any rate. The fornver is the Minister of Marine, and Fisheries and as such will be of special interest to Prince Rupert. Dr. King as Minister of Public Works has' "a. great deal to do with expenditures of public money. The elevator, however, is not under his department. It comes under the department of Trade and Commerce over which Hon. Thomas Lowe presides. Unfortunately Mr. Lowe is mil of the party, but the Premier will be well posted as to the progress fn connection with the elevator. Shipping Lumber To Empire Points. From a trade point of view it does not seem to be t much advantage to belong to the British Empire. Whenever Ihere is any business to be done the British people lake it to theAXiiited States. The latest example of this is seen in the purchase of a lumber mill at Silka to supply spruce to the rubber planters in the Straits Settlements. We also see it just across the line where the Ketchikan mill is shipping lumber to Australia steadily while B.C. mills nre idle. It costs as much to manufacture lumber in Alaska as in British fjoluinhia and the timber is the same. British merchants and others do not seem to realize that Canada has anything to sell. If the business is all going to the States it would seem as if it would be belter for us to be a part of the States than connected with the British Empire. The Wembley incident is being repeated in many places. Urges Confidence t In Our Country. J The: European Manager of fcoloiiizalioh.aha' Immigration for the Canadian National Railway urge's,, Canadhins -have -confidence in their own country so as to inspire, confidehe'e fn people who would come here. It is difficult to do this when they see business which should be hers going to another country, not once or twice but with increasing regularity. It is time Canadians raise a bowl every time they see any slighting of this country in a business-way. It is only by asserting ourselves that we can gel what we want. Because we are "so quiet and docile it is possible the rest of the Empire does not know that we exist. Thorn In Side Of Republicans. Im Follelte continues, to be a thorn in the. side of the Republicans of the United States. He is making political inroads into Hie party strength and seems likely to carry A great many candidates throughout the country. His fs a policy of protest and he is making the whole country lake notice. The outcome will prove inleresling to Canadians for the politics of the United Stales are always of interest here.

The question before the people is Are the greater number of these men to swell the exodus of skilled and able bodied workers from the Dominion? The answer depends upon the fair and equitable solution of the British Columbia timher royalties question. If the present Act which threatens nulomallcally to treble the already heavy royally rale Is not repealed by January 1st, 1925, many of Jhe lumbermen will be compelled fn cease operations.

The Trans-Canada Limited, the crack transcontinental express of the Canadian Pacific Railway operated from May to September, completed its 1924 schedule on September 13th, when Its last trains started and on September 17th these trains steamed Into the termini at Montreal and Vancouver, bringing to a close one of the service's most successful seasons. The train covers the 2.8 S 6 miles of its run between the two cities In 90 hours and Its Toronto-Vancouver run of 2.707 miles In 86 hours. Mr. C. D. Foster. Passenger Traffic Manager, summing up the season's performance, gave out some remarkably Interesting figures which afford a partial Insight Into the magnitude of the task of maintaining such a service. The Trans-Canada Limited bet.au Its runs this year on May 18th, and before being dlscon-Unued made 119 trips In each direction, or 238 In all. The equipment of the train Is limited to one baggage, one dlnln r;r, four standard sleepers, one 10-compartment car Vancouver to Montreal, and one 10-compartment car Toronto to Winnipeg, rtth a drawing room-3-conipartmtnt observation sleeper till to Vancouver, plus a local sleeper on the wes. -bound novement only from Fort William to Winnipeg. Thus the max!-num accommodation available In each direction between the :ast and Winnipeg Is forty-eight sections, twenty-three cora-u-tments and five drawing rooms, while between Winnipeg and he Coast tftere are forty-eight sections, thirteen compartments ted five drawing rooms. The arerage number of passenger! n the train at night varies from seventy-five to 110 on different lections of the line, but for the 119 days the train was In service 'aat season, there -as a one-night use of approximately 100,000 berths. The sast-bound and west-bound trains together covered 6,292 miles every day, rhl.cb. includes the distance between Montreal and Vancouver, 2,886 miles, ind between Toronto and Sudbury, 260 miles, covered by each train and Its Toronto-Sudbury connection. Thus the season's mileage was 758.748 for he 238 tr'i, or three times the distance from the earth to the moon. Kuch day four Trans-Canada trains were in motion over the Company's lines In ecch direction. At 8 A.M. each day, one waa west-bound between Cartlerand Chapleau, one between Kenora and Winnipeg, one between Medicine Hat and Calgary, and one between North Ilend and Vancouver, while at that hour one east-bound was approaching Glacier, one approaching Rtglna, one east of Kort William and one between Chalk Itlvtr and Ottawa. Ten complete sets of equipment, of which four were In motion each way :very day and one waa being cleaned, refitted and turned round at each end it the run, were required to maintain the service.
