RUSSIA
OR
BRITAIN?
IS
it
true
that
Canada
has
turned
down
the
proposal
to
import
British
coal
but
ljas
agreed
to
take
a
quantity
of
Russian
coal?
A
Toronto
newspaper
says
it
is.
The
Globe
says
editorially
:
"The
logic
of
the
idea
entertained
by
Right
Hon.
J.
H.
Thomas
that
if
Britain
gave
preference
to.
Canadian
wheat
Canada
should
give
preference
to
a
comparable
British
export
commodity
coal
is
so
forceful
it
is
little
wonder
that
failure
of
the
plan
so
far
has
assumed
the
proportions
of
a
grievance
in
the
Old
Country.
Labor
members
have
demanded
that
Mr.
Thomas
give
an
explanation.
Newspaper
complaints
to
the
effect
that
Canada
is
importing
laige
quantities
of
Russian
coal
show
that
the
matter
has
gone
much
farther
than
Parliament
so
far,
in
fact,
as
to
call
for
the
attention
of
the
Canadian
Parliament.
'
"There
is
a
fundamental
difference,
of
course,
in
the
attitudes
of
the
two
governments
toward
such
questions.
The
Dominion
government
is
not
directly
concerned
about
the
marketing
of
wheat;
the
British
government
has
made
the
marketing
of
coal
its
business.
But
if
the
importing
of
coal
to
this
country
is
conducted
in
a
way
to
arouse
antagonism
in
Britain
against
Canadian
products,
it
becomes
a
subject
of
much
importance
to
Ottawa.
Moreover,
in
view
ol
the
wish
of
the
federal
government
to
increase
trade
frith
the
United
Kingdom,
a
basic
point
to
be
kept
in
mind
is
that
coal
is
to
Britain,
larkel.v,
what
wheat
is
to
Canada.
"The
Morning
Post's
announcement
that
a
contract
had
been
made
to
bring
2,500,000
tons
of
Russian
coal
to
the
Dominion
in
the
next
four
years
was
followed
by
a
somewhat
jubilant
comment
in
the
Daily
Herald,
the
organ
of
the
British
Labor
Party,
that
"the
brevak-up
of
the
great
hold-up
by
Canadian
and
American
wheat
pools
is
near.'
The
Daily
Dispatch
of
Manchester
found
an
qxuse
to
re
f
er
again
to
what
it
regards
as
ill-advised
expenditures
by
the
Empire
Marketing
Board
by
asking
if
theiskfe
sunV
of
money
is
spent
yearly
to
encourage
purchases)mwn
the
Dominions
so
that
Canada
can
buy
Russian
coal.
The
Montreal
Star
is
authority
for
the
statement
that
the
Russian
contract
calls
for
250,000
tons
of
anthracite,
instead
of
2,-500,000,
Tbut
this
does
not
alter
the
principlerinvolved,
nor
does
it
disguise
the
fact
that
importations
of
Russian
anthracite
are
increasing
yearly.
'
"Canada
owes
nothing
to
Russia,
sentimerijta
or
otherwise,
yet
for
the
first
nine
months
of
the
current
fis?;
cal

in
aggregate
coal
imports
this
is
small.
But
Britain
wants
the
business,
the
British
coal
miner
needs
and
deserves
the
employment,
and
Canada,
as
circumstances
seem
to
indicate,
requires
the
good-will
of
the
British
importer."
NEWSPAPERMEN
AND
THEIR
TRUST
In
the
United
States
only
recently
three
newspaper
reporters
were
sent
to
jail
because
they
refused
to
reveal
the
names
of
informants
who
had
given
them
some
facts
under
a
pledge
that
the
source
of
the
information
would
not
be
divulged.
In
South
Africa
another
journalist
was
sent
to
jail
for
eight
days
under
similar
circumstances.
In
each
case
the
plea
was
one
of
professionaLprivilege
in
refusing
to
answer.
.'
Members
of
the
fourth
estate
who-write
important
articles
calculated
to
relieve
community
ills
claim
that
they
should
be
just
as
immune
as
medical
men
when
it
comes
to
refusing
to
betray
sick
bed
secrets.
.
It
is
one
of
the
unwritten
laws
in
journalism
that
information
given
in
confidence
must
remain
a
secret.
It
is
a
practice
that
no
real
newspaperman
would
ignore,
and
for
that
reason
has
become
one
of
the
cherished
traditions
of
the
profession.
A
true
newspaperman
will
not
break
the
confidence
placed
in
him.

BRADY
ON

In

on

Conrt
Thls.Is
the
first
time
in
three
years
that
I
have
spoken
upon
this
very
important
question
and
tonight
I
do
so
because
of
the
great
importance
of
the
bill
which
is
before

house,"
said
J.
C.
Brady,
M.P.
for
Skeena,
in
speaking
in
the
House
of
Commons
at
Ottawa
last
week
on
the
proposal
for
art
Ontario
divorce
court.
"I
have
given
very
careful
consideration
to
the
various
arguments
that
have
been
presented
to
the
house
during
the
last
two
years,
and
I
find
that
the
question
before
us
tonight
is
not
one
involving
the
principle
of
divorce.
We
are
not
dealing
with
divorce;
we
are
dealing
with
only
one
aspect
of
the
question,
namely,
whether
it
is
to
the
benefit
of
the
people
of
Ontario
that
the
procedure
under
which
divorce
Is
ted
shall
be
taken
from
the
federal
parliament
and
passed
over
to
the
legislature
of
Ontario
and
Quebec,

the
case
may
be.
Looking
over
the
record
of

in
Canada-
and
particularly

to
Ontario
and
Quebec,
I
find
that
in
1774.
1791
and
1848
the
various
parliaments
assumed
the
right
to
grant
divorce.
This
is
exactly
as
It
is
laid,
down
in
the
i
various
parliaments
preceding
con-federation.
I
find
that
in
Ontario

and

today

is
a
moral

but
there

to
which
an

"Furthermore
it
Is
obvious
thatj
the
number

applications
that
are
being
made
to

l
is

and
give
it
to

The
Nlckle
bill
of
1919
set
the
question
forth
in
these
words:
"'The
Interests
of
the
country
demand
that
something
be
done
to

virtttis
evident,
therefore,
that
the

of
handing
over
the
right
bto
pass
upon
dlverce
from
the
fed
eral
parliament
to
the
legislature
of
Ontario,
is
to
facilitate
divorce.
."In
the
Quebec
conference
of
1865,
Solicitor
General
Langevln
used
these
words:
'
,
M'We

as

as
possible..'
"And
he
refers
to
the
power
granted
under
the
English
constitution.
He
found
this
power
of
divorce
placed
in
the
provinces.
Ml
believe
that
we

foundations

at
