0=0=0=‘ Mr. King strongly questions the advisability of be- stowing titles in times of unrest, distress and Widespread unemployment, declaring it shows how remote from the realities of the existing conditions the Government is and how far from understanding the country’s real problems and needs, when it considers the present time opportune to advise His Majesty to resume the practice of conferring titles in Canada. The Liberal Leader recalls that an effort was made last session to discuss the question after the Prime Min- ister had intimated to the House it was the considered opin- ion of the Government that the present Parliament was not bound by the report adopted by the House of Commons in May, 1919, banning titles. Mr. Bennett said there was not an opportunity of discussing the matter toward the end of last session; and the brief statement he made to the House at that time was not debatable under the rules. After reviewing the history of the titles controversy and recalling the various steps taken by the House of Com- mons to spare Canada the scandals connected with the granting of baronetcies, knighthoods and similar honors elsewhere, Mr. King denounces the action of the Govern- ment as “an affront to Parliament.” The decision of the Dominion Government to advise His Majesty to resume the bestowel of titular honors upon Canadians is sharply criticized by Right Hon. W. L. Mackâ€" en A ie King. ,Sometimes people speak lightly of the country news- paper, but it is one of the most potent and uplifting factors in our national existenceâ€"Christian Science Monitor. Scandals are rarely published in the country news- papers, but if it so happens that decency demands it, the uglier details are omitted, or given a kindly touch that is Widely different from the unfeeling publicity of the city press. The offenders may be our neighbors or people we have rubbed elbows with all ou lives. They are real human beings to their town peOple, while to the great city dailiés they are merely grains of a sort that are ground out hourly in their news mills. ‘ Then picking up the papers that record the happenings of the little towns around us, one gains renewed faith in life Here are set forth only that which uplifts a communityâ€" the activities of the business men, the church items, the happy social gatherings of the people, the marriages, births, and deaths, farmers’ items and all the thousand and one daily occurrences that make up the simple annuals of the great common people, Who are really the Ioundation of this broad country of ours. THE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER Turning from the city newspapers to the small town press exchanges that come to the editor’s dsek is like step- ping from the slums, full of vice, into an old fashioned garden sweet With lavender and thyme and the scent of perennial flowers. The pages of the big dailies are full of mude, thievey, immoality and selfishness that the bet- ter news is obscured by these glaring shatterings of the Decalogue. One puts the papers aside with a feeling of depression and heartache that the world is so full of terrible and unhappy things. “Without doubt world peace is menaced to-day as at no time since the close of the Great War. Canadians did their part nobly in that war, and know only too Well its horror and its cost in blood and treasure. Another such conflict might imperil Western civilization. - “The people of this country worked together in war. We ask them now to work together in the nobler task of helping to substitute for the use of Violence and force in international relations, the principles of law and justice upon which a world society as well as a national society“ must rest.” “The aim of Canadian foreign policy is peace and that aim expresses the desire of every Canadian. But peace cannot be maintained without knowledge and conscious effort on the part of democratic peoples. For this reason we believe all Canadians should study the position of our country in the world and the contribution Canada may make toward strengthening the agencies‘designed to en- sure world peace and economic stability. Your Hardware Requirements Will Receive Our Best Attention The appeal of the three leaders, made in support of the League of Nations Society study project, is (in part) as follows: These three Canadian political leaders, realizing that the war menace is greater now than at any time since 1918, urge the Canadian people to study the contribution zvhich Canada might make to the building of a peace world. They point out that the Canadian people should co-operate in peace, in the same manner in which they co-operated in war. For this reason, the recent announcement of Right Hon. R. B. Bennett, Prime Minister; Right Hon. W. L. Mac- kenzie King, Leader of the Liberal Party; and J. S. Woods- Worth, Leader of the Co-operative Commonwealth Feder- ation Party; is all the more to_be considered. It is undoubtedly a very unique and unusual circum- stance When the leaders of the three recognized political parties in Canada join hands in a common effort for what they consider is for the goOd of the Canadian people and the world at large.
