SATISFACTORY
STATEMENT
OF
CANTONESE
COMMANDER.
Considerable
satisfaction
may
be
derived
from
the
manifesto
of
the
Cantonese
commander,
General
Pai
Tsung
Hai.
Openly
professing
his
nationalistic
and
revolutionary
principles,
he
has,
however,
counselled
his
followers
that
the
property
of
foreigners
must
not
be
destroyed
and
that
it
is
not
"the
intention
of
the
Cantonese
to
create
a
general
anti-foreign
movement.
The
manifesto
presents
one
of
the
most
encouraging
declarations
that
has
come
out
of
China
since
the
present
trouble
began.
The
manifesto
may
be
taken
as'
an
answer
to
the
demands
of
Great
Britain
and
United
States
for
protection
of
the
persons
and
property
of
foreigners.
It
is
to
be
expected
that
Pai
Tsung
will
do
his
best
to
live
up
to
the
requirements
but
he
has
a
difficult
situation
to
handle.
If
there
should
be
further
casualties
among
foreigners
they
might
not
constitute
an
overt
act
Such
casualties
are
very
liable
to
occur
among
such
"frenzied
Chinese
mobs
as
there
are
in
Shanghai
today.
If
Great
Britain
and
United
States
went
to
save
their
people,
it
is
up
to
them
to
take
as
many
of
them
as
possible
out
of
the
seat
of
the
trouble
until
the
danger
is
over.
That
would
be
more
effective
than
making
demands
which
it
is
apparent
will
be
most
difficult
to
fulfil
until
conditions
have
righted
themselves
with
the
new
order
of
things.
POOLEY
AND
TWIGG
CHANGE
THEIR
TUNE.
Mr.
Pooley
and
Mr.
Twigg
were
very
free
with
their
charges
under
the
protection
of
the
legislature.
Their
change
of
face
when
under
oath
before
a
royal
commission
where
they
are
responsible
for
their
statements
is
very
significant
It
is
difficult
to
reconcile
their
words
in
the
legislature
with
what
they
have
said
before
the
commission.
Mr.
Pooley
said
to
the
court
that
he
"had
not
the
slightest
reason
for
supposing
that
campaign
fund
contributions
in
1924
had
influenced
the
vote
of
any
member
of
the
B.C.
legislature."
".Mr.
Twigg
confessed
that
"he
had
no
knowledge
of
beer
transactions."
Such
admissions
are
nothing
but
amazing
in,
the
face
of
their
previous
declarations.
PATTOLLO
TAKES
STAND
FOR
RUPERT.
It
is
obvious
that,
despite
ten
years
of
residence
in
Victoria,
Mr.
Pattullo's
heart
is
still
in
Prjnce
Rupert.
His
reply
to
the
report
of
the
Peace
River
outlet
engineers,
as
published
in
the
Daily
News
yesterday
and
in
the
Vancouver
Province
earlier
in
the
week,
was
very
reassuring.
It
would
have
been
very
easy
for
Mr.
Pattullo
to
let
the
Prince
Rupert
aspect
slide.
He
has,
probably
let
himself
in
for
some
trouble
in
his
protest
against
an
obviously
prejudiced
report
but
he
will
have
the
support
of
every
or.e
of
his
constituents
in
the
fight
he
has
started.
GOOD
LISTENERS
AND
GOOD
TALKERS.
To
refer
to
an
individual
as
"a
good
listener"
is
by
way
of
paying
a
high
compliment,
but
it
is
a
compliment
scarcely
deserved.
It
arises
not
from
the
intrinsic
merit
of
the
good
listener,
but
from
the
fact
that
the
demand
is
greater
than
the
supply.
The
small
crop
brings
the
best
price.
Nothing
could
be
more
depressing
than
thought
of
a
company
of
gpod
.listeners
with
nary
a
good
talker
among
them,
unless
perhaps
it
is
a
"company
of
good
talkers
Tvith
not
a
single
good
listenur.
As
s.
matter
of
fact,
the
ability
to
listen
attentively
is
almost
invariably
a
sign
of
inferiority
as
a
talker.
Listening
is
an
admission
that,
the
other
fellow
has
aomething
more
'important
to
say.
JIow
can
.a
man
of
spirit
and
intelligence
.and
convictions
listen
without
once
being
provoked
to
break
his
'golden
silence
?v
Good
listeners
have
the
admiration
of
the
majority
because
the
majority
of
people
prefer
talking
to
listening
and
do
not
like
to
talk
to
themselves.
But
the
fellow
who
prides
himself
on
being
a
"good
listener"
is
no
less
an
egotist
than
the
person
who
takes
it
for
granted
his
opinions
alone
are
worth
while.
There
Is
one
specimen
of
listener
wio
is
intelligent;
but
because
interruption,
is
regarded
by
him
as
a
cardinal
sin
against
good
manners,
he
permits
another
to
hold
the
floor
to
the
latter'
content.
He
has
intelligence
but
it
is
as
worthless
as
that
of
an
Individual
who,
in
an
emergency,
know
what
to
do
but
does
nothing.

During

Since

Of
the

some

the
