Thedistinguishingcharacteristics ofFatherGasson'saddresswereits clearness,candorandcourtesy.lie admittedwithouthesitationatthe outsetthatthereissomethingwrong insocietyatthepresenttime,with itscolossalfortunesanditsdepths ofpoverty.InsofarasSocialism meanstobenefithumanity,tolessen poverty,andtomakelifebrighter forthemassonmankind,weareall heartilyinaccordwithit.Father Gassonasamemberofanorderinr whichallgoodsareheldinecmn, noonereceivingasalary,everyone spendinghimselfintheserviceof hisfellowmen,whileallthegoods ofthecommunity,aboveitsmodest maintenance,arepromptlydistributedamongtheneedy,isPeculiarly abletoappreciatetheconditionsof thetimeandthegoodintentin manyformsofSocialism.

APHASEOFTHE ImperialConference

Ourreadersmusthavenoticed thatthecablesinourdailyPress duringthelastweekmadefrequent referencetothe"Declaration of London."PerhapssomewerePuzzledbythisoft-recurringsub-heading.

AConference,oftheChiefNaval PowerswasheldinLondonatthe endof1905andthebeginning of 1909,whoseobjectwastoarriveat adefiniteagreementfortheguidanceoftheInternationalPrize CourttobeestablishedinaccordancewithoneoftheConventions arrivedatbytheSecondHague Conferencein1907.

Theresultofthe'o8-'o9ConferencewaswhatiscalledtheDeclarationofLondonwhichthoughagreedtobyGreatBritainandthe otherPowers,awaitedParliamentary sanction.

"Blockade,"conditional,and absolute "contraband,"and manyothertermsweredefinedasclearly aspossible. Byoneofthefinalprovisionsthe PowerssigningtheDeclarationbind themselvestoensuretheobservance oftherulesagreedtobytheirarmedforcesandPrizeCourts.

AspecialcommitteeoftheLondon ChamberofCommerceconferredon the"declaration"andintheirreportfurnishedintheendof1910 unanimouslyagreedthatthedeclarationshouldnotberatifiedinits existingform.Thecommitteewas oftheopinionthattheeffectofthe declarationwouldmateriallyalter thepresentlawofNationsand wouldbedetrimentaltotheinterests ofGreatBritainwhosePeculiarpositionhadnotreceivedsufficientconsideration.Theleadingmercantile bodiesconsideredthat strengthwouldbelessenedintimeof war,andaveryseriousincreasein thecostoffoodmightbefeared, evenintimeofPeace.

RumourhasitthatBritishDiplomatistswerecompletelyoutclassed bytheContinentalrepresentatives. However,thatmaybe,welearn fromthelatestcablesthatthedeclarationofLondonhasbeenratified bythemembersoftheImperialConference,withtheexceptionofMr. AndrewFisherandMr.Batchelor, whorefrainedfromvoting,because theycouldnotagreewithsomeof theclauses,particularlythosewhich dealtwiththequestionoffoodand contrabandinwartime.
