MONOPOLIES AND THE LEAGUE.
Another nasty little bump has cropped up in
rhe pathway of the League of Nations, having
to do with national control of natural re
sources. A resolution dealing with the point
is before the assembly, its aim being to give all
the world the benefit of whatever raw material
may exist anywhere in the world. Nations
.such as Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany,
whose resources are limited, and whose pros
perity depends on manufacturing, are concerned
in having access to a steady supply of such
basic materials as they require. Newer and
undeveloped lands have interest in the other
direction. This conflict is certain to awaken
something of controversy, and its disposition
' will mark again the 'efficacy of the league.
Canada sets up the principal opposition to
the proposal. Our great and lusty young neigh
bor on the north is just beginning to realize, its
importance as a source of supply. Those "few
hundred acres of snow." to which Louis so
airily referred when told that Wolfe had de
feated Montcalm and the prcwince was lost,
have turned out to be a wonderful storehouse
of materials the world needs and will continue
to need. Canadians are bent on not dissipating
their iatural wealth through prodigal use or
'by alienating title. Some of the methods
adopted are not such as may easily be excused
or arc generally practiced in, polite society. I
"Stand and deliver!" very nearly describes the j
policy adopted with reference to wood pulp and
paper, but Canada controls the supply just now,
and the paper user pays the Canadian price or
does withont. Other resources are being care
fully conserved, so that the future prosperity of
the land Is fairly well assured.'
While the ethics of the proposition are de
batable, custom at least supports the Canadians.
Sympathy may go out to the Swiss and Italian
manufacturers in their extremity, but this will
hardly remove the objection raised in the as
sembly that the resolution contemplates "an un
: warranted interference with 'domestic affairs.
The'alternative is the adoption of the Wilson
ian doctrine of internationalism, under which
all the governments of the earfh would co-op-crate
to the extinction of whatever natural ad
vantage the people of any particular country
might possess. No sign has yet appeared to
indicate that the world is ready for such a de
parture, however attractive it may be in theon-.
Even the presence of the United States at
Geneva would not have the effect of inducing
the nations to forego those things on which
their existence rests. Approach to agreement
rm many things may be expected, but certain
important point's still must be left to the dis
position of the individual nations, because so
only docs it seem possible t maintain the I
tranquility so greatly desired.
the tendency to invent new restrictions and
appoint a horde of officials to carry them out
seems to have promise of being curbed.
Six-Day Week; Seven-Day Industry.
'Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work," a good v law in the days of Moses, is a
good law today. So. also is the injunction that
the Sabbath day shall be kept holy. However,
each is susceptible of some latitude in its appli
cation. Devotees of the Hebrew faith hold the
seventh day of the week to be the one desig
nated; Christian believers set apart the first day
of the week, and followers of Mohammed as
cribe v to their especial observance the sixth
day.
This difference of, opinion is composed by
admission that the day .observed by any partic
ular faith will be considered as sanctified and
consecrated in accordance with the command
ment. Following this to a logical conclusion,
it would seem that so long as one day in the
week is kept inviolate from labor and that
appears to have been the original purpose, a
full twenty-four-hour rest period in each seven
days the spirit as well as the letter of the
law is fairly met, and no harm done to religion
or to secular effort.
However, a group oi reformers proposes
to go before the.congres and -ask for the en
actment of a law that will require the cessa
tion of all effort that entails labor on a particu
lar day each week. Moses had no such
thought, because he realized that certain opera
tions must go on continuously. He did pro
scribe all work as far as possible, but, as was
explained by Christ many centuries after, ne
cessity always calls for some effort. Society
is more highly organized now than when the He
brews were wandering in the wilderness around
Sinai; life is more complex, and the literal ap
plication of the Mosaic law would mean such
disruption of industry as would result in the
practical extinction of much that is needed for
the protection and progress of the race. Take
a blast furnace, for example; it requires three
days to blow out and four to blow in, and so
could not be operated at all tinder the pro
posed law. Iron and steel would have to be
turned hack an hundred years to comply yith
the regulation asked.
It is possible, however, to organize a seven
day industry on a six-day basis, and this has
been done generally. A few still hold out
'against the modern practice, although it is mak
ing headway. The old seven-day work week !
is passing as rapidly as is the ancient dogma
that specified a single particular day to be ob
served as qjie of rest. Christians generally will
continue to-worship on Sunday; Jews will re
frain from labor on Saturday, and Mussulmcn
will turn their faces towards Mecca on Friday,
but the great and essential industries of the
world will be permitted to go on continuously,
because they are needed.

It might at least be expected that llie demo
cratic administration would be willing to dimin
ih appropriations for the incoming repub
licans, but it appears that all idea of economy
U lost to them. While the people have recovered
from their fit ot lavish spending, this thrift has
not reached to the federal government.
The chief business to come before congress
when it meets December 6. will consist of the
annual appropriation measures. Preliminary
estimates of the amount of taxes that will have
lo be collected in order to carry on the bus
iness of ' government already are before mem
bers of the appropriation committee, who arc
said to be amazed at the size of the figures.
No apparent effort is reported to reduce the ex
penses of the various departments and thus
lijhtcn the burden of the people.
This i not as it should be, and a rigorous
program of governmental economy is expected
by the people who voted so clearly against
democratie'extravagance. Loud talk from some
ot drastic cuts in the number of clerks employed
in official work docs not forecast any large
saving, although there is no doubt that the
government ought to get along with fevVer
employes. Shifting from direct to indirect tax

and might even result in free spending of funds

Somewhat Late on a Big Job.
The Ethical Motion Picture Society of the
United States, whfch has its headquarters at
Los Angeles, is setting about to "clean up" the
film drama. It proposes to eliminate bathing
beach scenes, barefooted girls, cigarette smok
ing and a lot of thing's that are looked upon as
almost vital to the movie. While the object is
laudable, and without making any question of
the good intent of the society, we suggest that
it has set about doing the job a little bit late.
We have progressed to the point in our social
development where a one-piece bathing suit ho
longer excites comment; a woman to attract
attention at a bathing beach nowadays must
cover herself much as oriental women are sup
posed to do when in public. From the bathing
beach these have been transferred to the stage,
so that a half-naked chorus girl or dancer is
accepted as a matter of fact, and only gets no
tice as she is plump or skinny, symmetrical or
awry. Nudity is not a novelty. And herein
may be found the answer. When the first
"runway" chorus flashed its naked limbs over
the heads of the audience, it was daring; now it
is tolerated merely as a survival. It will pass,
just as other things of its kind have passed.
The Ethical society may yet find its object
achieved by a healthy reaction, signs of which
may already be noted.

proposed that the slate of Missouri erect two or

state to spend $60,000,000 on good roads has also
stimulated discussion of such a movement. In

Sir: You are cordially invited to become ,a
member of the Canadian club of Montreal. At
one time we had a chapter in your city, but
lately all American charters have been with
drawn. Mr. John Walker is our president. The
other officers are: Daniel Crawford, secretary
treasurer; Halg & Halg, solicitors. Mrs. Sam
Thompson was lately forced to resign his posi
tion as vice president. I am sure, however,
that either Mr. Guggenheim or Mr. Gordon will
fill the vacancy. t
As to our memberships, each is non-refillable
and bonded. While we cannot offer, as of yore,
a sojourn at our country home at Sunnybrook,
we expect a veritable cascade of applications.
Our meetings are held frequently in the Imperial
building. Upon receipt of your application, the
pin. art Old Crow, will be sent you.
MR. HARDING'S golf games are faithfully
reported, but the score is never mentioned. No
doubt he plays the usual statesman's
"around a hundred."
