DAILY EDITION JUDGE FOR OURSELVES 98 66 Tuesday, Dec. G, 1927 OIL ON QUEEN CHARLOTTES Seepages of crude oil on Queen Charlotte Islands nave been reported time and again and the latest was only a few days ago when it was stated in a Skidegate despatch that crude oil had drifted In on the tide to Skidegate Inlet Numerous efforts have been made to prospect for oil on the Queen Charlottes but none have ever bored very deep. Whether oil will ever be found in paying quantities, no one can say, but there in certainly a chance that it may. The Queen Charlottes are full of possibilities. It is to some extent an undiscovered land. NO HAS1S FOR AGREEMENT Sir Austen Chamberlain reported after an interview with the Russian delegate to Geneva. that he could find no basis of agreement with a view to better relations between the two countries. Britain was one of the first countries to enter into a trade aVrwSesTwttfr Russia. ' Yet she haH afwayr -bWrf rrJ ir with more or tessnroity because she has been the great stumbling block' in the way of the extension of the system of government by which few people control the great mass, as in Rassia today. Britain Is a democracy, Russia is a beaurocracy. That is the great difference. Between countries ruled so differently there is little basis for agreement. We have a letter in regard to the mayoralty, which like many other letters received, is not signed by the writer. Such letters do not appear in print. However, we may say the writer suggests that people are able to judge for themselves as to the fitness of any can didate for the mayoralty and with that we folly agree. It is for the people to judge. So far, however, no candidate has offered him self, although there has been talk of at least three and possibly more. Had "J.D." signed his letter it would have been published. While speaking of letters, we may say that while we, as a rule, allow a correspondent to sign a nom de plume in place of his own signature, provided always his own signature is enclosed, there are letters which we cannot so publish. The newspaper pub- usning letters is always responsible for them to a certain extent but more so when no name is attached. Anyone wishing to express very radical views or advocate some unusual course of action would be expected to sjgn the communication and not throw the onus on the newspaper. The paper reserves the right in any case to refuse pub lication it it, thinks doing so. is in the public tinterest, We suggest xnai-ine writer ot a letter should not ask a newspaper tb thing, he dares not say over his own signature. AS TO THE MAYORALTY ' say so me- As to the mayoralty, it is not the policy of this paper to advocate the election of any person to that position. We agree with the correspondent that it is for the candidates themselves or their friends to place their views before the people and for the people to judgef either from what the candidates say or from their records. It is possible that there may be several candidates in the field, either of which would undoubtedly make a good presiding officer for the city. However, we would suggest that it is about time those wishing to have a candidate in the field bring him forward in some formal manrief 'so that people may have a chance to consider the situation well.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT BEING ACCUSED OF PROFIT SNATCHING (Manchester Guardian) Waste and lack of business method Is supposed by the vulgar to V char-xcterlstle of all Government departments, but the most astute expert at the jyi.Jfim .took, to TsbVfbr 'nay ffaee of thone qualities in the Mint's offer to supply eu of the new silver coinage to collector!. The complete set. comprising crown, half-crewn, florin, shilling, sixpence, and threepenny bit. wUl be supplied In a cardboard box for 15s, or if you like to psy s guinea you can have the same collection In a red leather ease. One would not adrtse Intending pur-ehaeers to let tfcemselres (snd another six shillings) be carried away by the temptation of that red leather case the Department which Is nobly pre-fred to sell eleven and three-penn'oth of coin of the realm for fifteen shilling !s not Ukely to be doing anything very tenerorus la the matter of red leather.' What is more, even If the new coins were eold at their fsce value of Us 3d., the suthorlUes would still be making a handsome profit, thanks to the large proportion of base metal which now goes Into our nominally "silver" coinage. Of course It pays, and taxation is Mlghtly reduced In conseqvenee. But since we sre to have new designs it seems rsther a pity that we eannnt have the old. real silver to sopport them.
