The word ‘‘Washington,”
which holds its accustomed place
at the head of the column, is
something of a misnomer this
week, since the copy is being pre
pared in Vancouver. British Col
umbia. a young city, as cities go,
having been on the map but 54
years During that time, it has
assembled a population of 300,000
yet it remains a city of contrasts.
One can get a moderately priced
room in a ten million dollars ho
tel. In the foreground, from the
tourists window, can be seen the
changing traffic signals that be
speak the bustle of an up to date
metropolis. A little more remote,
but clearly visible, are the log
booms, saw mills and sawdust
burners of the still-continuing
lumber days. Behind all, rise the
eternal mountains, still crested
with a portion of the winter’s
snow, and accessible In most in
stances only a foot, or by pack
animal and trail. Moving in the
shadow of these heights is a wat
er-carried commerce that
streams away to every port of
the seven seas.
There is talk here of the “de
pression,” the ingenuity of the*
tax collector is in evidence, and
upon the whole, the dividing line
between Canada and the United
Slates does not seem to run be
tween national troubles and prob
letns that are essentially differ
ent. To those accustomed to the
Washington vehicular snarl, in
which fender contends with fend
er, and bumper smites bumper,
British Columbian traffic seems
mild, and driving circumspect
and considerate; yet the conserv
ative Canadian brethren are not:
satisfied and arc in the midst of I
a safety-first campaign to better.
Conditions that on our side of1
- ■ ■ ----- ~ ~~~
the boundary would be regarded
as a close approach to the ideal.
Vancouver is heated up over the
invasion of the salmon grounds
by the Japanese, a matter that
has given the United States some
concern, especially as to Alas
kan waters, but on the whole, the
Amerean salmon trouble does
not go much deeper than trying
to find the can opener.
The course that Administration
plans have to travel, like the
course of true love, seldom runs
absolutely smooth, as Presidents
Republican and Democratic can
testify. Mr. Roosevelt, therefore,
did not find himself in an un
known predicament when the
Senate foreign relations commit
tee voted to put aside until the
next session, consideration of the
neutrality bill: yet it was a set
back for the White House never
theless. Congress sometimes has
raised its foot with good grace,
afteij having set it firmly down.
Again, the foot has remained
where it was planted in the first
place, a good example of abiding
by an original planting being the
payment of the veterans’ bonus.
The President is represented as
intending to go right ahead with
the neutrality fight. Some of his
generals would discharge the
committee and battle out the is
sue on the open floor. With an
adjournmafnt-minded Qongness
on the one hand and an Admin
istration eagerly pressing for ac
tion arid not particularly con
cerned about adjournment, on
the other, there are side issues
which, of themselves, and inde
pendent of the merits, are suffic
ient to give pep, to say nothing
of downright bitterness to the
domgs of concluding portion of
the session. According to com
mon report, Congress has ear
marked enough labor of the
must variety to satisfy even
those who think that the body on
Capitol Hill draws its pay and
gives little in return. Among the
measures scheduled for consider
ation before closing time are ex
