tial campaign. Of late, with the
Wickersham, commission at work
and the House Judiciary commit-
tee in the midst of what seems to'
be a very thorough survey of the
entire situation, the plan has
gained a great deal of prominence
in discussions of the prohibition
laws,
The suggested law is not perfect:
no plan that attempts to regulate
the habits and morals of a people
can ever be entirely successful.
There are, however, a number of
features in the law that merit se-
rious consideration. The Ontario
Liquor Control act, passed three
years ago, provides for a rather
complex system of government
control, sale and regulation of in-j
toxicating beverages, with a local
option feature. The entire situa-
tion is under the administration of
a Liquor Control board, equipped
with extraordinary powers to ef-
fectively regulate the distribution
of liquor.
Many faults have been found
with the Canadian plan. It is al-
leged that bootlegging is as prev-
alent as ever, that the law is not¢
being enforced, and that drunken-
ness has increased. It is worth
noting, however, that most of the:
critics of the Ontario system live:
in Topeka or Kansas City. The
popularity of the law in Ontario is!
proven by the fact that Premier
Ferguson's government, elected on
the sole issue of government con-
trol, has been kept in office for
three years, and that all attempts1
to change the law have been over-
whelmingly defeated. The question
is certainly a debatable one, and

WORLD PEACE ILLUSIONS.
The poor old London naval con-
terence, white hope of pacifism,
tax reduction, the Hoover foreign
policy, and the MacDonald Labor
governnuent, is eking out its last
days with only a few tosses of its
once proud head. It will soon be
ready for the "de-mortuis-nihil-
nisi-bonums" of its sponsors and
devastating post mortems of min-
ority politicians. Its present de-
bilitated condition is already cause
for a few remarks anent the hope-
lessness, by and large, of universal
and eternal world peace.
The World War proved to be so
terrible in its destruction, and sug-
gested such potentialities for utter
annihilation in any future war of
similar proportions, that the world
took a severe scare. There sprang
into existence the League of Na-
tions, the World Court, the Locar-
no pact, and Kellogg-Briand pact,
the Washington "5-5-3" naval
treaty, and legion individual paci-
fists to preach against the dread
arbitrament of war. It was the
normal, healthy reaction of civil-
ized peoples to the horrors of thej
conflict just ended.
Today peace is still enshrined in
the hearts of the many and
preached without shame in high
places, but its cause no longer
kindles the violent protagonism of
a decade ago. Ten years have
caused men to forget the cruelties
and barbarism of a war that knew
no precedent in bitterness. Na-
tional jealousies and ambitions are
again raising their ugly heads: the
United States holds snobbishly}
aloof from European entangle-I
ments, France and Italy are at
each others' throats for Mediter-
ranean supremacy, Russia has be-
come a law unto herself and a
growing menace to security, Eng-
land and France are diplomatically
cool, India is in ferment, China in-
ternally restless, and Germany re-
sentful of her economic bondage.
These are fertile fields in which to,
sow the seeds of war.
The harvest of bloodshed is still, '
in all probability, a generation or!

it may be that my presence there

SEvidently one may now play ten-

the almighty varsity men are not

the way, are always locked), and If

I presume it was merely a matter
