But Great Britain feels that she ' She has hinted to both the United States and Japan that she building. Japan has just made an official ‘statement that it would be perfectly grand to stop building, but that she feels the time has not yet jcome. The United States has not as lyet ceased to build. The weight of British sentiment in favor of over- powering naval strength is not fully understood on this side of the water. Forced to go on building, as she sees With them she ” {it. ahe has becn casting about to find the means cf continuance. It looks as though she has found it: The dominions will help pay the cost. Perhaps it is too early to accept this assumption at par. But in June an imperial conference will be held in London. It will be the most im- portant British conference ever_held in peace times. The premiers o# the various British dominions will meet with the British cabinet to discuss a number of questions of vital impor- tance to the empire. One is the mat- ter of a nearer federation. So far as the sentiment in thg various domin- ions has been learned in responsible { quarters here, little change will be made in the present status. Want More Independence. “The dominions will not accept a ! nearer relat!oT to the empire than | they occupy at present,” is the state- ment of a well informed man. ‘They prefer an even greater measure of self-government and independence, nor is there any apparent desire on the part of Downing Street to deny this. Canada and Australia and New Zealand will assume practically the position of self-governing nations in close treaty relations with the mother i country.” But the time has come when the British Isles alone cannot continue to pay the cost of the naval contest. ] | Even’if the war had not intervened, this decision would have been reached sooner or later. It is true that so long as the isles paid the piper they had the privilege of naming the tune, but they cannot go on paying at the | rate which seems to be forced by the competition of Japan, and the prob- able competition of the United States. So that it is~entirely probable that i at the imperial conference in June the dominions will agree to pay their | “This will undoubtedly mean,” in Washington opinion, “that Canada {and Australia and New Zealand will in the future have a share in deter- | mining the activities of the empire. War may no longer be made by Downing Street without consultation. But the domirfons realize that they | cannot continue to claim naval pro- | tection without paying some share of { the navy's upkeep, nor, 8o far as we | can learn, do they desire to do s0." So_that it is likely that the do- minions will not only pay a share in naval costs, but will have a share in} the navy itself. Perhaps the various dominions will build, arm and man | ships, in co-ordination with the greater navy's plans, and perhaps the navy will be continued on the present plan, except that the dominions will i be called on for money—which they are not at present—and for a share ! of the men. In any case, if this de- is obvious that Great Britain will jagain become a competitor in the armament race. 1f an ypderstanding were reached between The three nations most con- { cerned, naval costs might be kept | down. ' Without that understanding— i British sentiment being what it is and the British pocket refilled by the | dominions—whoop-la! They're at the | post for the great naval derby. |BILL HAYWOOD. RAPS U.

Haywood. secretary-treas- urer of the Industriai Workers of tne World, who recently fled from the United States to Russia, through a two- the Pravda, pictures the United States ias a place’ where potato fields, apple | orchards, rice plantations and other full crops are deliberately allowed to rot be- cause of a “capitalistic conspiracy to hold up prices and starve the working- man Into submission.” America, says Haywood, is passing through its greatest economic crisis, due © “the vast conspiracy of a group of capltalists agalnst the working class as a_whole.” PERPETUAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION Pays 6 Per Cent on shares maturing in 45 or 83 months.
