While
most
people
are
learning
to
hate
war
and
see
in
excessive
armaments
one
of
the
great
dangers
to
peace,
they
must
at
the
same
time
realize
that
an
international
police
force
is
very
necessary.
The
present
outbreak
at
San
Salvador
is
an
indication
.of
the
need.
If
the
British
do
not
protect
their
own
nationals,
no
one
else
can
be
expected
to
do
it
for
them.
The
two
little
Canadian
naval
boats
are
already
proving
their
usefulness.
REPARATIONS
AND
TARIFFS
Following
the
publication
a
few
days
ago
of
an
editorial
article
defending
the
United
States
in
connection
with
its
dealings
with
Italy,
our
attention
has
been
drawn
to
an
editorial
of
a
different
tenor
in
Toronto
Saturday
Night
in
which
the
writer
says:
"I
believe
that
history
will
assign
the
United
States
a
large
share
of
responsibility
for
the
world's
sufferings
of
these
and
recent
days.
And
I
think
she
will
be
judged
more
harshly
for
her
sin
today
the
persistence,
owing
to
greed,
in
a
course
of
action
destructive
to
society
than
for
those
errors
which,
while
producing
the
present
situation,
were
due
to
error
of
judgment
rather
than
intent.
"The
United
States
has
committed,
and
commits,
the
error
of
obstinately
persisting
in
a
foolish
and
impossible
course
of
action,
the
wrongfulness
of
which
has
been
abundantly
demonstrated.
She
insisted
on
payments
of
war
debts
and
reparations
while
raising
her
tariff
walls
to
heights
that
precluded
the
import
of
goods
from
the
debtor
countries,
leaving,
in
effect,
gold
as
the
only
medium,
in
which
payment
could
be
made.
The
consequent
withdrawal
and
sterilization
in
the
treasuries
of
the
United
States
and
France
of
nearly
two-thirds
of
the
world's
monetary
gold
had
the
inevitable
effect
of
forcing
down
to
a
corresponding
degree
the
prices
of
all
goods
and
ser-,
vices,
and
business
became
progressively
paralyzed
No
other
result
was
possible.
"War
debts
and
reparations
should
be
wiped
off
the
slate
for
the
good
of
everybody,
including
the
people
of
;
the
United
States.
They
will
be
eventually,
whatever
the
Lausanne
conference
recommends.
And
the
world
should
1
get
together
on
the
question
of
tariffs.
It
is
not
practicable
!
at
present
to
eliminate
entirely
these,
obstacles
to
world
;
trade,
but
they
should
and
can
be
scaled
down.
High
tariffs
are
destructive.
Since
Mr.
Bennett
raised
Canada's
tariffs;
fo
sharply,
no
less
than
thirty
countries,
some
of
them
our
best
customers
in
former
years,
have
taken
steps
to
re-;
strict
their
imports
from
Canada."
EXCELLENT
WORK
The
management
of
the
Daily
News
wishes
to
pay
a
tribute
to
the
work
done
by
the
newsboys
on
Saturday
evening.
Although
it
was
about
seven
o'clock
before
most
of
them
got
away
and
a
gale
was
blowing
and
it
was
raining
hard
yet
only
one
complaint
was
received.
Apparently
all
others
received
their
papers.
The
whole
eleven
were
on
the
job
and
most
of
them
were
on
the
road
for
at
least
two
hours.
Appreciation
of
their
excellent
work
was
expressed
by
a
number
of
subscribers.
CITY
ASSESSMENTS
It
has
been
drawn
to
our
attention
that
it
was
stated
at
the
meeting
of
the
Ratepayers'
Association
that
the
C.
N.
R.
assessments
had
been
cut
in
half
while
the
assessments
of
the
other
ratepayers
had
remained
the
same.
Our
informants
tell
us
that
the
city
assessments
have
been
cut
47
per

in
that
time.

was
becoming
more
and
more
accepted
by
the
world,
every
down
to
present
times.
Burns
ranked
first
among
the
creative
artists
and
in
spirit
reigned
today
over
a
greater
dominion
than
that
which
could
be
boasted
by

a

His

In

read

Burns
which
had
been
sent
by
Mrs.

former
resident
of
this
city,
from
Santa
Monica,
California.
In
responding
to
the
toast
of
"SeoUand,"
Mr.
Stua't
said
that
he
intended
to
talk
of
Scotland's
place
In
the
sun.
Scotland
had
found
its
fame
througn
the
character
of
her
people.
The.
co-mlngllng
of
th
early
forbears
the
Celts,
the
Anglo-Saxons
and
Normans
had
Imbued
the
Scottish
people
with
loyalty,
caution,
religion,
patriotism
and
love
of
liberty.
The
influence
of
the
Scotch
had
become
firmly
imprinted

Mayor
C.
II.
Orrhe,
in
respondir?
to
the
toast
or
"Canada
and
Oi:r
City,"
added
his
tribute
to
thr
memory
of
Robert
Burnt
of
whose
works
he
too
was
a
lover.
Canada
had
benefitted
by
having
so
many
Scottish
dUzens
and
Canada
had
in
turn
been
good
to
the
Scotsman.
The
mayor
referred
to
the
influence
of
the
Scotch
upon
this
country.
Turning
to
the
city,
the
mayor
declared
that
the
same
reason
which
had
caused
the
founding
ot
Prince
Rupert
existed
as
strongly
today
as
In
the
early
days.
AJ
that
was
awaited
was
the
putting
into
effect
of
the
opportunity.
S
far
as
the
future
of
Prince
Rupert
was
concerned,
there
was
nothing
to
fear.

THE
FRONT
DOOR
OF
THE
PEACE
RIVER
COUNTRY
1
vr,-,-i
j
t
Economy
is
the
keynote
of
all
activities
today.
No
money
is
expended
unless
it
is
looked
upon
as
an
absolute
necessity.
It
is
at
a
time
like
this
when
the
advantages
of
the
Pacific
outlet
to
the
sea
should
be
recognized
by
all
Canadians.
It
is
the
hope
of
a
very
large
section
of
the
country,
particularly
of
that
new
and
rapidly
growing
young
empire
through
which
the
Peace
River
flows.
PRINCE
RUPERT
WAS
BUILT
TO
BE
THE
WESTERN
OUTLET
the
logical
point
from
which
the
grain
of
the
Peace
should
be
shipped.
There
are
other
points
which
might
be
made
available
but
the
railway
is
already
built
into
Prince
Rupert
from
Edmonton
by
the
best
grade
of
any
line
on
the
continent.
The
port
is
already
here
and
a
fine
elevator
ready
to
receive
the
grain.
No
expense
is
necessary
except
for
the
piece
of
railway
connecting
the
existing
Peace
River
railways
with
the
main
line
of
the
Canadian
National
at
some
point
between
Hansard
and
the
coast.
With
that
operated
jointly
by
the
two
big
railway
companies
and
with
the
C.
P.
R.
granted
suitable
running
privileges
over
the
C.
N.
R.
to
enable
them
to
do
business
on
an
equality
with
their
competitor,
the
business
of
hauling
grain
to
the
Pacific
by
the
best
possible
route
can
commence.
While
this
is
a
time
when
strictest
economy
is
being
practised
every
where,
it
is
a
time
when
the
employment
of
labor
in
a.
large
way
is
eminently
desirable.
Men
are
out
of
work
and
must
be
fed.
The
reasonable
thing
would
be
to
set
them
to
work
on
big
undertakings
of
a
productive
nature
and
this
Peace
River
Pacific
outlet
is
one
that
lends
itself
to
the
purpose,
especially
if
one
of
the.
longer
and
more
economical
routes
such
as
that
to
Hazelton
should
be
adopted.
SETTLERS
ARE
STILL
POURING
INTO
THE
PEACE
COUNTRY
The
towns
are
growing
into
cities
and
the
villages
into
towns.
The
people
are
a
unit
in
demanding
a
western
outlet
and
they
have
adopted
the
Prince
Rupert
attitude
which
is
that
it
be
built
by
the
most
feasible
route
to
the
coast.
The
location
of
this
route
means
everything
to
the
country.
If
it
should
be
built
south
instead
of
west
and
should
go
by
a
tortuous
route
with
mountain
grades
instead
of
by
Way
bf
a
perfect
water
grade
to
the
sea,
it
would
mean
that
high
freight
rates
would
be
set
to
enable
the
railways
to
earn
dividends
under
the
difficult
circumstances.
A
case
in
point
is
f
that
of
the
C.
P.
R.
which
wasbuilt
through
the
difficult
Kicking
Horse
Pass
and
as
a
result
of
which.a
mountain
differential
had
to
be
established.
It
would
be
little
short
of
a
crime
to
place
a
permanent
embargo
on
all
western
shipments
from
the
Peace
River
country,
especially
at
a
time
when
people
are
looking
for
the
most
economical
way
of
carrying
on
the
business
of
the
country
and
enabling
the
farmers
to
compete
with
grain
growers
in
other
countries
to
the
best
advantage.
The
interests
of
the
grain
growers
should
be
paramount.
Any
line
that
is
built
should
be
for
the
purpose
of
serving
them
and
not
to
advantage
any
particular
port
or
district.
"
PRINCE
RUPERT
IS
THE
PORT
OF
THE
WESTERN
ROUTE
for
the
products
of
Northern
Alberta
and
British
Columbia.
The
port
lias
one
of
the
finest
harbors
in
the
world,
open
all
the
year
round
and
easily
accessible
from
the
ocean.
It
has
one
of
the
most
up-to-date
elevators
suited
for
terminal
shipping
purposes.
It
has
docks
suited
for
deep
sea
.shipping,
a
large
dry
dock
and
shipyard
and
other
conveniences
that
go
to
the
making
of
a
port,
such
as
a
quarantine
station,
wireless
and
radio
telephone
stations.
Nothing
is
lacking.
The
port
is
ready
for
busi-
nets,
the
railway
is
ready
to
carry
the
grain
and
all
that
is
needed
is
the
western
connection
with
it
from
the
Peace
country.
It
would
seem
the
part
of
statesmanship
for
any
government
to
enable
such
modern
facilities
to
be
used
for
the
benefit
of
the
Peace
River
far-jners
arid
at
the
same
time
to
provide

for
