THE statement which appeared a few days ago in the Petit Journal, of París,that Japanese troops were to be dispatched to the Russian front is now declared to be devoid of foundation. It is suggested that the report was spread by the agents of the enemy with the object of creating a sense of disappointment when it was. discovered to be untrue, and of provoking discussion, and finally dissension, as to the part which each of the Allied nations The news was is playing in the war. certainly calculated to produce a feeling of confidence in the result of the struggle which is now taking place on the Russo- Roumanian front.

The Governor-in-Council could settle this matter in, I suppose, ten minutes, at

special meeting of the Council called for the purpose; and the money could be refunded to the Colonial Treasury when the Officials at Home have grasped the fact that at 28. one pound sterling is worth 810, whereas at 3s, it is worth only

$6.68.

And even if the financial magnates at Home never did agree to refund the money, would not part of the Colony's contribution have been used for the pur. pose for which it was raised, namely, to Pay a portion of the Empire's War Bill A

That the procedure outlined above would meet with the approval of the rate- payers is a foregone conclusion; but, if the Council have any qualms of conscience at the possibility of acting against the wishes of the majority, it would be a simple matter to call a meeting in the Theatre to feel the pulse of local opinion.
