Chicago, Dec. 82. Another steip to
.vard church unity is seen in the af-
diation of the Protestant Episcopal
hureh with the more than one million
nembers of the Czecho-Slovoak Ortho
lox church n the United States, the
csult of conferences between Bishop
"Jorazd Pavlik of the Czechoslovak
hurch, and Bishop Thomas G. Gailor,
iresident of the Episcopal National
'ouncil, and the foreign born division
f the department of missions.
The council adopted a resolution, in
vhich. 'assurance 'was given" that' "we
viil commuicate with our bishops li
vhich communicants cf the Czecho
slovak Orthodox church live and urge
hem to provide the sacraments ano"
jastoral care for them in such places
where it may be difficult or impos
sible to obtain a priest of the Czecho
slovak church." Desire also was ex
pressed that the Czechoslovak church
ninister in like manner to cemmuni
ants of the Episcopal church visitin;;
r residing in Czechoslovakia.
Following a memorial from Bishop
Pavilk urging "mutual fellowship of
v.ir respective churches," the agree
ment provided that the Episcopal de
partment of missions shall "keep in
vital and intimate touch with the
situation, need and development ot
the Czechoslovak Orthodox church in
Europe and America."
The rapprochment was brought
lbout through ; declarations of the
Chechoslovakian church at eeclesiasti
al mass meetings held in Prague, that
its dogmatic standards had the same
'oundation as those of the Anglican
Communion, and the fact that Bishop
Pavlik was regularly consecrated by
ihe Serbian Orthodox church, whose
orders are recognized by the Anglican
Churches as Apostolic.

IBSHIPSiflBED ;
to the patriotic Canadian action
After the war the question of re
turn to the old conditions or mainte
nance of prohibition or some com-,
promise arose everywhere. Many pop
ular votes have been taken, specifi
cally directed to the question in hand,
and the result of them is that today
of the nine provinces of Canada sever,
are dry (Ontario, Manitoba, Sask
atchewan, Alberta, New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia. Prince Edward Island),
and two (Quqbec and British : Colum
bia) sell alcoholic liquors under new
conditions, indicated by such terms-as
"government control" and "govern
ment dispensaries." One may here add
that the Dominion of Newfoundland is
also dry
just published by Ben H. Spence,
with foreword bv the prime minister
of the province, E. C. Drurv ( De-
minion alliance, 24 Bloor street, To
ronto; free on request).
My interest in this question is sole
ly that of the eugehist and hygenist
who sees in Canada the chief lund
arear on our earth yet remaining suit
able for the support of its leading
races; and for me the evidence about
crime, automobile accidents, arrests
for drunkenness, etc., is trivia: com
pared with the data, to be found
everywhere in the dry provinces, re.
garding the health and education ot
the children who are Canada'.; future
The cause of education ;ias been most
notably advanced, as. Mr. Spenee'3 XSP
ord shows, for Ontario; and the Scot
tish tradition, dating from John Knox
and his village schools, is. now going
strong in largely Scottish C.mr.da.
The usual stories, of course, are
told, and of these the most constant
which practically ail who dislike 'pro
hibition believe and repeat, both of
Canada and the United States, i-; the
"drugs" myth. Considering the post
war ravages of the drug habit in
"wet" cities like London, Parks aiid
Nice, one would have thought that
Europeans, at least, would be silent in
this regard. According to the offi
cial criminal statistics of Canada, of
1864 convictions in respect of drugs
in the whole dominion during 192i,
1153 were from Quebec and British
Columbia and 711 from the seven
"dry" provinces. Per 100.000 of popu
lation the figures are 12 for tb3 dry
and 40 for the wet province",, in the
first eight lnohths of the present
year there were 632 persons arrested
in this city of Montreal with drugs
in their possession. In the wdiole of
last year the figure" was 335 and foi
1920 it was 199. So much for ihel
! view that "prohibition leads to drugs.'
In this city, the . wettest m Canada
or the States, the drug vice and the
drug traffic-have their poison center
for the . whole of ' this continent, a
fact now recognized by the govern
ment, of Quebec. But for general
conditions in relation to drink, drugs,
and prostitution one must go to J':n-:
for anything comparable whh Montreal.

ing even so much as set foot in New

British Columbia except that general
opinion seems , to suggest that the
present arrangement . can only be
temporary. ' -
In the seven dry provinces, which
I know at first hand,-it is generally
agreed that ney votes would confirm
the present laws. The actual records
of voting here as in the Unitad
States dispose of the idea that 'when
the soldiers returned they would
make short work of those who had
"filched their liberty at home while
they were fighting for liberty abroad.;'
(By the way, we need a. universal
law to orohibit any but poets and
nhilosonhers from ever using, those
noble words, love and liberty, which
are the of tenest. prostituted of any
in our language). The security of the

The occasion is the first convention of

which was first projected on Canadian

neariy 30 countries in Washington
