December 13. 1902. LITHUANIA IX LIMELIGHT Lithuania is now in the limelight and it seems quite possible that the situation in Memel will prove troublesome. Evidently this city is largely German and the people there are strongly German in sympathy. Some action toward either making Memel a part of the Reich or making it an independent city practically under German control has been looked for. It was expected by many that the first German move would have been to annex Memel, even before the annexation of Austria. Memel was part of the German Empire prier to the Great War. ANOTHER LOOKED FOR MOVE Another looked for move is for Germany to make a drive in the direction of the Russian Ukraine. That would probably lead to war but to what extent the rest of Europe would be involved no one can say. It is thought that Great Britain would let Russia fight her own battles ami that France too might keep out of the fray. There would be a possibility of Japan attacking Russia on the east, the pretext being the differences over fishing leases or possibly the Russian help given to China. FISHERMEN'S NAVAL RESERVE A number of fishing vessels, part of Prince Rupert's fleet, will be leaving early in the new year for Esquiftlalt where they will train for defence purposes iri case of trouble with a foreign country. This is the first time Canada has sought the tid of her fishing fleets for possible war purposes. It should prove an effective force in the matter of mine laying and in fact for many purposes. Britain s mystery boats proved very effective in the Great war. SUPPORTS IMMIGRATION SCHEME John Mclnnis of Prince George has a letter in thr Federationist supporting immigration to Canada of settlers for the land under the Hornby or Page Croft schem for putting British settlers on the land in Central British Columbia. He says: "It must be obvious that Canadians must sooner 0-later share their resources and opportunities with people from countries that are 'overcrowded.' "Shall we welcome British and other desirable settlers? Or shall we reserve the country for the Japanese' Don't worry about giving these settlers Provincial Jhtere are mi,llons of acres of good land in central B.C. n which under present conditions have no market value. Why not let the settlers have this land, and whv not have the British government spend fifty millions If thev vi8htodoso? "More settlers comine to B.C. will not'solve our economic problems, neither will it be a hindrance." Mr. Mclnnis is a member of the C.C,F. at Prince George highly respected by his political foes as well as by those who voted for him in several elections.-- markedly less, but Sir Charles said ties."
