CANADIAN I.EGION COMING E V E N l'S DOMINION HOUSING ACT The m ost sifmificant feature of th e crisis in th e M other ,Chf P arliam ents, a s it'seem s to us, is th e rejoicing which took place in th e official circles of Berlin and Rome over th e resig ­ nation of A n thony E den ._ I t would be h ard er to And a s tronger endorsem ent of th e la te Foreign S ecre tary 's stand, fo r therein in indisputable proof th a t In . th e proposed discussions w ith Ihe d ic ta to rs , to which Eden objected tb the point of resign­ ing, they a t least expect to reap some solid advantage a t our {'Xi^nse. 'A m ong our. friends .France im m ediately took steps which showed she had come tb regard us a weak sis te r, while Ihe gifowing friendsh ip between England "and th e United States, on w hich more than any single facto r th e peace o f ' the world rests,, has received a d is tin c t setback. ' Unless P rem ier Chamberlain is able to make a brillian t .success of th e negotiations to be undertaken -- and it .will have to be such a success ah to, be obvious to the m ost ignoran t --he will have sold us fo r a mess of po ttage and wrecked his own political ca ree r beyond redemption., A t th e p resen t m om ent the odds seem to be all aga in st him, and consequently us. It is a very long- tim e since th e personal honor of a P rem ier of G reat B rita in was publicly held in question on the- ffoor of .th e House. I t does not look well for his ab ility as a " leader th a t his Foreign Secretary .should have resigned a t a time and under such ciroumstance.s .'IS to give even the. appearance of i ts having been really forced by foreign d ic ta to rs . W hether tru e o r false it has given our prestige a te rrib le blow throughout th e world. Moreover, this does no t tend to give us- much confidence in th e lik e li- , hood of his negotiations w ith these men proving an y th ing bu t abortive if no t in jurious to our in te rests . He will be dealing . and endeavouring to reach a,greements w ith those who have consistently and y ea r a f te r year broken every trea ty o r agree­ ment, they have ever se t their hands' to, virho have said they would not dO' th is or th a t even while th ey were actually very busily engaged in doing these very th ings, and who a re f ra n k - , ly and avowedly oUft. to steal our em pire and liberties. One th in g is certain , and - P rem ier Cham berlain m ust take the blam e fo r it now, namely, -th a t he has given the dic­ tators a new lease of power.
