Reactionary or radical, once a statesman steps into power he begins to see things Aristide Briand, seven times prime minister of France, used to be a red-shirted, He began his career a cross between Karl Marx Then, proportionately as he had shifted upon his shoulders the responsibilities of governing France, his Utopian visions faded and he became practical. Today he is about the sanest man in France. Ex-President Raymond Poincare right now is the leader and mouthpiece of France's most’ rabid, “On-to-Berlin” militarists. With Marshal Foch and others, Poincare would crush Germany so deep into the ground that so much as a sauerkraut plant would never grow again where “les Alle- “Make Germany pay or give her another licking!” is the cry of Poincare and his followers. “And don’t give up the army or navy!” Poincare js now in power.

She will not get that assistance so long as her militarists maintain uncompromising attitude which causes Briand, even in the moment of victory, to m office from sheer disgust. _ Poincare, the reactionary, will become Poincare, the reasonable, just as Briand, the radical, became Briand, the rational. ” Responsibility will tame him or break him. “I hold to the doctrine that if a man will buy a seat in the senate he in turn will sell it.

A lib- eral government is now In power. It Is the highest possible tribute to relations between Canada and the United States that this change of administration is a matter of only casual Interest to the Ameri can state. It affects no interna tional relations, We are so accustomed to enjoy- ing this immunity from fear of our neighbor that we do not re- alize how differently elections are regarded in Europe. A change in the political policies of a trans atlantic government may affect half a dozen nations. A general election in Great Britain or France would be watched with the closest attention by neighboring powers. A new ministry in either country might necessitate altered policies far and near. But, Canada and the United States have progressed beyond that stage. Even the possibility of a change in Canada’s tariff ex- elites no general interest in the United States. Persons directly affected may exclaim; but the peo- ple at large regard the subject as a matter of domestic detail, Nothing Canada’s new govern: ment is at all likely to do can a feet the friendly relations nortir and south of the border. Foreign Policies between the dominion and the United States are needless. If troubles suddenly develop, they are settled by commissions, as a matter of routine, and gre for- gotten, That is the ideal in interna tional affairs thruout the world for which America is striving. The necessity for this legtslation (prohibiting the importation of birds of paradise) is due to the fact that the present inhibition has be- come a practical farce.

Even leading lumber barons, are now declaring with one ta multuous shout that they are with Col, Willlam HB. Greeley, chief for ester, in his Alaskan policy of public ownership and public com trol of our great forests. Asserting that while “Gifford Pinchot may know of some Indi- vidual lumbermen who may favor the transfer of the forest service to the interior department,” a group of lumber barons, headed by Dr. Compton, manager of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ association, has definitely lined up against the new bill, now in com- mittee, which proposes to turn over the forests to the Interior department, charge of Seere- tary Fall, an avowed advocate of private ownership.
