IN VIEW of the huge percentage of the water-carried trade of the world which is in British bottoms, it was to Be expected that the regulation of the traffic through the Panama Canal would: attract wide- spread attention among the British people: Whether the system established was the most favorable possible for British ships or injurious to their interests, the subject was bound to demand a great deal of space in British newspapers. Ultimately settled as it was by the United States Govern- 8 months, in advance; 500 editorial columns of British newspapers than any other matter for many mouths, bly the European international Journals of all shades and allegiances have delivered their opinion on the action of the republic and what it'means to Brit ish shipping. It is safe to say that no trade question of late years has been so ex- haustively studied by writers as the canal question. The unanimity of opinion among the British newspapers, widely di- vergent on most policies as they are, has been striking. And why has all this been? The two chief causes are that the inter- ests of British shipping are touched very closely by the regulations of the canal, as of course, the interest-of the world s fore- 2) ed in the belief*that they had a treaty with the United States which embraced the equitable operation of the canal. The pos- sibility that the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, under which the United States carried on all its construction work in the Isthmus, would be disregarded, did not enter into the sion of Congress. The debates of the Pan- ama. Bill in the governing body of the re- public drew the attention of the British to the matter very forcibly, hewevyer. When at last it was found that the Hay-Paunce- fote Treaty had been cast aside, sentiment in the Motherland was stirred deeply. Dis- exssion of the question grew in volume un- till at length the determination took form that the whole matter should be submitted to the Hague Tribunal for a decision. In the course of an extremely able ar- ticle in the London Daily Mail, Norman Angell s ts forth his yiews on the funda- mental causes of the present vexed sitna- tion. After study producing a rarely com- prehensive p of the primary rules un- derlying the whole attitude of Great Bri- tain toward the United States, Mr. Angell finds it impossible to be optimistic regard- ing the outcome of the dispute. He traces the situation to the failure of the War Sys- te r stating that during the past decade the United States has offered affronts to Britain, which, if coming from Germany, would have made war inevitable, -he de- clares that we will not go to war with the - even over such a large question as the Panama Canal matter. The reason we shall not go to war, he says, is because war would be ineffective; we could not impose our will by.war. Am- i quite obviously impreg- nable.

And we have no other instru- ment for the simple reason that we have given no equivalent effort to its creation. The basic fact of the whole matter is certain ideas coneerning the nature of the relations of one state to another; and until you get some modification of those ideas arbitration will be mainly a pious aspira- tion. And when you have got that modifi- cation of those ideas arbitration will not be necessary, any more than it is nee between England and Australia, which communities, like England and America, have realized that the use of military force as. between them is unavailing. And that is the outstanding fact: whether we have the wisdom to create a new instrument or not the old one, however pathetically we may cling to it, has failed. And not only has it failed; it produces the very evils which it was forged to prevent. pale ae gee sae IN ORDERING the News to be sent to his address in the East a summer tourist writes as follows: I took a trip through the West this summer and Medicine Hat was my choice of all the prairie cities: TI found it an ideal climate with plenty of good water, whieh could not be had in quite a number of places I was in. Natural gas is one of the greatest resources in . the world for a city. I believe Medicine Hat will be one of the largest centres between Winnipeg and Vancouver at no distant date. See ee IN- VIEW of the large amount of railway construction which has been complet- ed in Alberta this year, the wind is taken out of the sails of the Conservative organs which have held Premier Sifton s great railway development policy up to ridicule fas a paper policy.
