A Hollow Sound
It would seem to be a little early
for political parties to be making pro-
mises on the Federal level. Apparent-
ly, though, Mr. Lester B. Pearson
made or implied at the recent Liberal
Council meeting would do credit to a
politician with only a few weeks in
One of Mr. Pearson’s promises is
of particular interest to people in the
Atlantic region. “A Liberal Govern-
ment,” he said, “would put the annual
$25 million Fereral grant to the Atlan-
tie Provinces”—provided by. the Con-'
servative Governnient—‘“on a more
permanent basis.” By this, presum-
ably, he meant that the grants would
become a fixed annual disbursement.
pluses amounting to hundreds of mil-
| | lions of dollars, it was virtually im-
_ possible for the Atlantic Provinces to
_ squeeze an extra dollar vut of the Fed-
| eral Treasury during the many years
_ of Liberal rule. Even the so-called
“tax-sharing’ payments were appar-
ently given grudgingly; and, on at
_Jeast one occasion, when a few hun-
. dred thousand dollars more than the
allotted amount was inadvertently
_ forwarded to this Province, their re-
‘turn to the Federal Treasury was.

er back and forth, during which the
| Legislature had to be adjourned, it

‘was finally decided that the reim-
_ bursements could be made on the in-
_ stallment basis; and the Liberal Gov-
_ the special problems of the Atlantic
region would appear much more con-
_ vineing if there were any precedent,
for it in the days of Liberal domina-
tion. As it is, his words-haye a hollow...

‘brass and a tinkling cymbal.”
Fear Predictions —
Gordon C. Rupp, a safety expert
- in Des Moines, Iowa, has suggested
doing away with predictions of how
many people will be killed on the high-
ways on various holidays and week-
are likely to plant a “death” thought
_ in the minds of motorists. ‘“Wouldn’t —
it be better”, he asks, “to reverse our
_ eommon practice of publishing a fear
_ prediction by adopting the positive
policy of predicting no deaths at all?”
We think it would. Apart from the
psychologically gruesome aspect of
these death predictions, they do not
appear to have any practical value.
There is nothing to show that they
have ever prevented accidents; and
it is just possible that they have help-
ed to cause them; for the power of
suggestion is great.
In any case, it seems inappropriate
_ $0 predict that so many people will be
killed in a given time: almost as
though nothing can be done to prevent
it: ;
West Indies Trade
What Canadian exporters can ex-
pect in trading with the new West
Indies Federation was outlined by Mr.
R.G.C. Smith, Canadian Commission-
er in Trinidad, in a recent issue of
‘Foreign Trade”,
As far as the immediate future is
concerned, Mr. Smith says that “the
act of federation changes nothing in
the problem of the easier movement
of people and goods. Canadian ex-
| porters contemplating this old and
familiar market will continue to deal
with each isiand as in the past, tak-
ing into account the respective rate
of duty levied by each and considering
the exchange problem as it is handled
by each.”
_ Concerning long-term prospects,
when the proposed customs union will
have been put into effect, this’
says Mr. Smith, “wil! give Canada
a larger, more uniform and easier
trading area. The people of these is-
lands have been familiar with Canad-
ian goods for a long time, and with
the easing of inter-island eommerce
and the resulting benefits to foreign
trade, Canada cannot kelp but secure
her share of an already well establish-
arcdian

Life On Other Planets
It there life on other planets?
That question, not so long ago dismis-
sed as mere nonsense, is now regarded
seriously by the scientists
In a recent address, Dr. Melvin
Calvin, University of California chem-
ist and researcher in photosynthesis,
stated that in his view “millions of
planets” in the known universe are
capable of supporting life similar to
that on the earth.
“Chemical knowledge is now such,”
said Dr. Calvin, ‘‘that given the start-
ing materials of the primordial earth,
the source of chemical evolution from
inorganic materials up to and through
the formation of a living cell was pre-
dictable and inevitable. The evolution
of higher forms of life could also have
been predicted, but the precise path-
ways could not be predetermined.
Thus, plants ana animals were inevit-.
able developments, aithough their
physical appearances were not.”
Dr. Calvin quoted scientists at the
Harvard College Observatory, that
_ there may be as many as 100 million
earthlike planets in the known uni-
verse. be eet
Should all this be confirmed by
further scientific knowledge, it will in
interfere with the
spiritual destiny of man. Nor will it
| bring into dispute the moral interpret-
ation of the universe. On the contrary,
it will emphasize it and suggest that
the Psalmist was speaking the litera]
truth and not merely dealing in poetic
fancy when he wrote: “The Heavens
declare the glory of God, and the fir-
mament showeth His handiwork.”
EDITORIAL NOTES
The Federal. Government is
-hinting at reductions in price sup-
ports for farm products. This is a
far cry from the stand taken by
Consevative spokesmen in the last
election. At that time they called
for higher supports on everything.

Mr. J.W. Pickersgill told the Lib-

policy for the Atlantic area.” Mr Pick-
ersgill is noted for a keen sense of

a jest too far, considering the great
improvement that has occurred in
Federal-Provincial relations since the
Liberal Government, of which Mr.
Pickersgill was an influential mem-
ber, went into exile. :

The United States has made plans

Mr. Churchill’s Warnings
By Patrick
‘The Honourable Gordon Chureh-
ill, our Minister of Trade and
Commence, has embarked upon
of the facts of Canadian life.
In a) series of clearly-expres-
sed, friendly but hard-hitting
speeches, he is repairing the er-
rors of omission by our govern-
ments over the past twenty years,
and explaining that we wish and
intend to be a free people, not
an economic satellite of the U.
S.A; 4.
“The United States and Can-
ada are each other’s best cus-
tomers,’’ he told a business au-
“Sixty per cent of Canada’s en-
tine export trade crosses the bor-
der. Seventy per cent of our im-
ports come from your country.
Measured in dollars we buy four
billion from you and you pur-
chase three billion from us.”
So far, so much the same; the
been proclaimed from so many
platforms for so many years.
But here Mr. Churchill adds a
new punch line of his own,.a sig-
nificant hook from which to hang
explanation of a fact overlooked
by Americans but a source of
dian who troubles to ponder our
future. : :
‘Tt is that difference of one
billion doliars in your favour that
causes some concern in Canada,”
continued Mr. Churchill. “The
i
Nicholson
question that arises in the minds
of Canadians is wheter or not we
are becoming too dependent ec-
onomically upon the United Sta-
tes. The second. question is whe-
ther economic dependence may
lead to political dependence.
These questions are sometimes
the subject of debate in Canada,
for historically we have strug-
gled for generations to build up
| and maintain a country polit
tically and economically free and
independent.”
| HOW TO REPAY DEBT
» That difference of one billion
dollars is now a regular yearly
occurrence. How can we pay that
suin«to-thestates 2... The. answer >|:
is that we are now accepting
eapital investment to that extent
each year, so we don’t have to
pay for the high living on U.S.
luxury imports which we cannot
afford to pay for. Mr. Churchill
implies the great problem: How
are we going to begin to pay in-
terest and to repay the capital
on all this flood of U.S. invest-
ment, so long as we have an ad-
verse trading balance with that
country? Unless we develop a
favourable trade balance, we will
not be able to meet those ob-
ligations on what is becoming a
mortgage on the whole of Can-
ada. At tthat time, will the U.S.
foreclose on the mortgage, and |
absorb Canada as an economic
satellite? —
Thus Mr. Churchill demonstra-
ted that it is essential for Can-
ada to diversify her trade, es-
pecially by seeking in other coun-
tires new markets for those of
our products which the U. S.
does noi need. The best exam-
ple of these is wheat, he said.
“And if other countries are to
buy from us, we must also buy
from them.” ;
Speaking recently in New York
City as well as in Chicago, Mr.
Churchill introduced mito his
“Lecture to the Philistines’ eight
-suggested rules for good man-
ners on the part of U.S. com-
panies operating branch plants
in Canada. These points all con-
tain mere horse sense and good
manners; it would not be neces-
sary to point them out to any
“management which observed the
| Golden Rule.
1, Permit and encourage your
Canadian. subsidiaries to seek ex-
port markets. ae :
..2. Use.as many Canadian ma-
terials and components in your
Canadian operations as can be ec-
onomically justified.
3. Do more processing of Can-
adian materials in Canada. —
4. Encourage and train Cana-
dians for managerial posts.
3. Undertake more research and
development work in Canada.
6. Give local management grea-
| ter autonomy within Canada.
7. Offer equity stocks in your
Canadcian subsidiaries to Cana
Canadcian subsidiaries to Cana-
dian investors. ~
8. Encourage branch plants to
participate more fully in the life
of their communities.
This Churchill rap-over-t h e-
kunckles to American Big Busi-
ness is a job very long overdue,
now being done well by our Trade
Minister.
Lawyers And Lawmakers
Arthur Blakely in the Montreal Gazette
In a recent address to mem-
risters’ Society, Mr. Grattan O’-
Leary, president of the Ottawa
Journal, drew. attention to the
substantial role which the legal
profession has played in COana-
dian public life.
He cited the distinguished pol-
itical careers of such great Cana-
dian lawyers as Edward Blake,
Sir John Thompson, Sir Robert
Borden and R. B.. Bennett, Nor
did he neglect Sir Wilfrid Laurier
Arthur Meighen, Louis S. St.
Laurent and others who, regarded
strictly as lawyers, may not have
all reached the first’ rank.
“In fact, Mr. O'Leary said, he
ment or an effective Parliament
functioning without the benefit
of the services of lawyer-parlia-
mentarians.
.“Indeed,’’ he is quoted as hav-
ing said, “‘the main role of the
lawyer in Parliament is to take
political thinking out of the heady
atmosphere of speculation and
philosophic introspection and
base it solidly in the practical end
of useful laws-good and just that
the citizen will understand, ac-
cept, respect and obey.”
The lawyer-parliamenitarian
was, he believed, indispensable,
TOO MANY LAWYERS? s
Not all observers, of course,
have shared Mr. O’Leary views
in this respect. A good many dis-
tinguished parilamentarians have
suggested that Canadian parlia-
ments contain too many lawyers
for their own good. Understand-
ably enough, almost all. of these
critics have been strangers to the
‘legal profession. The CCF par-
liamentary group, which ‘rarely
has a lawyer it can call its own,
has always professed to be disen-
chanted with the role which law-
yers’ have played in Parliament,
suggesting that they have been
preoccupied with the letter rather
than spirit of the laws. But the
CCF group has been, of course,
open to the suspicion of bias on
the general question of the value
it lacked members of this class
so frequently.
Another careful student of Par-
liament, Hill and its ways who
weighed the lawyer-members and
found them wanting in some res-
pects at least was professor
Norman Ward, of the University
-of Saskatchewan, author of an
extremely useful book entitled
“The Canadian House of Comm-
ons.” :
PROFESSOR QUOTED
“The chronicle of controverted
elections and election expenses
has been,’”’ he wrote, “‘partly one
of evasion of the country’s laws
by those who enacted them, and
who might on that acount, one
might think. properly be found
among the law’s foremost champ-
ions.
“That so many of the regrett-
able aspects of Canadian politics
have been made possible by legal
procedures and devices suggests
that the preponderance of law-
yers in the House of Commons
has not been an unmixed bless-
ing. But it would be unfair to
legal profession alone has been
blameworthy.....’’
COMMONS MEMBERSHIP
That the legal profession does
dominate Parliament and Govern-
leave the impression that the.
ment, there can be no doubt. Can-
ada’s first Prime Minister was a
lawyer, as is the present Prime
Minister, and as have been most
of those in between.
The story of the House of
Commons membership is similar.
Of the 181 M. P.’s who were
returned to the first Parliament
of the new Dominion of Canada
in 1867, at least 66 were lawyers.
There may well have been more.
At this late date, the economic
and occupational interests of 27
of the M. P.’s of 1867 are in the
‘“mknown’’ category. Over the
years since that time, the legal
profession has usually accounted
for at least one-third of the Com-
mons membership. A peak was
apparently reached in the 1911
general election, which despatch-
ed 93 lawyer-MPs. to the House
of Commons. The total number of
seats at stake in that election was
only 221.
R. M. Dawson once explained
the gravitation of lawyers to
Parliament as due partially to
“natural sympathy between the
practice of law and politics.’’ But
he added, that there was more
to it than that. A lawyer with
a good practice and a good part-
ner could make the temporary
withdnawal from his) normal oc-
cupation required by the uncer-
tainty of political life, more easi-
ly than others. This, incidentally,

Not Likely To
Transmit TB
By Herman N, Bundesen, M. D.
CAN PETS transmit diseases
such as tuberculosis?
Well, they can, but often the
pet is in greater danger of catch-
ing the disease from you than
you are in getting it from the
animal. In fact, even elephants
are known to have died from TB
infected by the human strain,
OFTEN GET TB ;
And, according to a recent is-
sue of ‘‘The American Review of
Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Di-
seases,’’ animals kept in zoos
frequently become infected w i th
tuberculosis. :
As far as pets go, TB in dogs
is pretty rare in the United Stat-
es. It does exist, however, in
some parts of the world. When
dogs do become infected with
TB, the human strain of bacillus
is more often to blame than is
the bovine strain.
Cats, on- the other hand, may
become infected by drinking milk
of tuberculous cows, but they ap-
pear to be very resistant to hu-
man tuberculosis. \
DANGER OF PSITTACOSIS
Both canaries and parrots can
catch TB, but, of course, the real
danger from parrots, as far as
their/owners are ~oncerned, 1s
psittacosis, a Virus infection
somewhat similar to influenza.
While canaries are more SUSs-
ceptible to the avian strain of
ally are infected by the animal
strain.
Monkeys seem to be the most
susceptible of all animals when
in captivity. In their native habi-
tats, however, they apparently
never contract TB.
RARELY HAVE IT
Laboratory animals such as
rabbits, mice and guinea pigs
might make good pets since they
very rarely have tuberculosis. t
But foxes and minks are quite
susceptible to bovine infection
when they are raised on fur
farms. Naturally, this doesn’t
mean that you can catch TB
simply by wearing a fur coat.
While some diseases, even TB,
ean be transmitted by pets, you
really don’t have to worry about
it in the light of our knowledge
as to how these diseases are con-
trolled. ;
QUESTION AND ANSWER
A.K.: My seven - month - old
grandson has what the physician
terms “bronchiolitis.” He said
nothing can be done to help this
condition. Is this true?
Could there possibly be any
connection between this ailment
of the baby’s and smoking on
the part of the mother when preg-
nant? ;
Answer: Bronchiolitis refers to
inflammation of the véry small
bronchial tubes called ‘‘bronchiol.
es.” It may be due to infection,
allergy of an asthma-like type,
or may be part of some general
disease. In most cases,.much can
be done to help this condition.
- Smoking by the mother during
her pregnancy probably has no
relationship to this disease.

destroyed three warehouses, and
three freight cars loaded with
flour and potatoes. Also threat-
ened were the two stations and
a string of freight cars.
The mortagage on the Cana-
dian Legion Home was burned
last evening at the monthly meet-
ing of the Charlottetown Legion
Branch, The meeting was lar-
gely attended, and great satis-
faction was expressed by the
the northern walls of Paris. Their
daily gleanings furnished the
mart with its stock in trade, and
their reputation as carriers of
vermin gave the Flea Market
its name.
Thrifty French housewives got
in the habit cf going to the
Marche aux Puces for odd items
hard to find in more prosaic
shopping centers—a new wheel for
the baby carriage or a porcelain
doorknob to match the wall-pap-

Foreign travelers discovered
the place shortly after the turn
of the century. They found it a-
musing, and told their friends.
Canny Paris antique dealers,
quick to recognize a good thing,
moved in. Some came first to
buy stock for their shops on fash.

ART OF BARGAINING
The thousands of merchants

shrewd bargainer. Except _ for
very cheap objects, a dealer
does not expect to- get his ask-
ing price. As one merchant ex-
plained, ‘‘If I want 300,000 francs
I start at 325,000. If I say 5,000
I mean 4,000.’’
But a customer has to be
shrewd to get a dealer down to
his last price, as an American

A Hollow Sound
It would seem to be a little early
for political parties to be making pro-
mises on the Federal level. Apparent-
ly, though, Mr. Lester B. Pearson
made or implied at the recent Liberal
Council meeting would do credit to a
politician with only a few weeks in
One of Mr. Pearson’s promises is
of particular interest to people in the
Atlantic region. “A Liberal Govern-
ment,” he said, “would put the annual
$25 million Fereral grant to the Atlan-
tie Provinces”—provided by. the Con-'
servative Governnient—‘“on a more
permanent basis.” By this, presum-
ably, he meant that the grants would
become a fixed annual disbursement.
pluses amounting to hundreds of mil-
| | lions of dollars, it was virtually im-
_ possible for the Atlantic Provinces to
_ squeeze an extra dollar vut of the Fed-
| eral Treasury during the many years
_ of Liberal rule. Even the so-called
“tax-sharing’ payments were appar-
ently given grudgingly; and, on at
_Jeast one occasion, when a few hun-
. dred thousand dollars more than the
allotted amount was inadvertently
_ forwarded to this Province, their re-
‘turn to the Federal Treasury was.

er back and forth, during which the

‘was finally decided that the reim-
_ bursements could be made on the in-

region would appear much more con-
_ vineing if there were any precedent,
for it in the days of Liberal domina-
tion. As it is, his words-haye a hollow...

‘brass and a tinkling cymbal.”
Fear Predictions —
Gordon C. Rupp, a safety expert
- in Des Moines, Iowa, has suggested
doing away with predictions of how
many people will be killed on the high-
ways on various holidays and week-
are likely to plant a “death” thought
_ in the minds of motorists. ‘“Wouldn’t —
it be better”, he asks, “to reverse our
_ eommon practice of publishing a fear
_ prediction by adopting the positive
policy of predicting no deaths at all?”
We think it would. Apart from the
psychologically gruesome aspect of
these death predictions, they do not
appear to have any practical value.
There is nothing to show that they
have ever prevented accidents; and
it is just possible that they have help-
ed to cause them; for the power of
suggestion is great.
In any case, it seems inappropriate
_ $0 predict that so many people will be
killed in a given time: almost as
though nothing can be done to prevent
it: ;
West Indies Trade
What Canadian exporters can ex-
pect in trading with the new West
Indies Federation was outlined by Mr.
R.G.C. Smith, Canadian Commission-
er in Trinidad, in a recent issue of
‘Foreign Trade”,
As far as the immediate future is
concerned, Mr. Smith says that “the
act of federation changes nothing in
the problem of the easier movement
of people and goods. Canadian ex-
| porters contemplating this old and
familiar market will continue to deal
with each isiand as in the past, tak-
ing into account the respective rate
of duty levied by each and considering
the exchange problem as it is handled
by each.”
_ Concerning long-term prospects,
when the proposed customs union will
have been put into effect, this’
says Mr. Smith, “wil! give Canada
a larger, more uniform and easier
trading area. The people of these is-
lands have been familiar with Canad-
ian goods for a long time, and with
the easing of inter-island eommerce
and the resulting benefits to foreign
trade, Canada cannot kelp but secure
her share of an already well establish-
arcdian

ly being improved, and through the

Life On Other Planets
It there life on other planets?
That question, not so long ago dismis-
sed as mere nonsense, is now regarded
seriously by the scientists
In a recent address, Dr. Melvin
Calvin, University of California chem-
ist and researcher in photosynthesis,
stated that in his view “millions of
planets” in the known universe are
capable of supporting life similar to
that on the earth.
“Chemical knowledge is now such,”
said Dr. Calvin, ‘‘that given the start-
ing materials of the primordial earth,
the source of chemical evolution from
inorganic materials up to and through
the formation of a living cell was pre-
dictable and inevitable. The evolution
of higher forms of life could also have
been predicted, but the precise path-
ways could not be predetermined.
Thus, plants ana animals were inevit-.
able developments, aithough their
physical appearances were not.”
Dr. Calvin quoted scientists at the
Harvard College Observatory, that
_ there may be as many as 100 million
earthlike planets in the known uni-
verse. be eet
Should all this be confirmed by
further scientific knowledge, it will in
interfere with the
spiritual destiny of man. Nor will it
| bring into dispute the moral interpret-
ation of the universe. On the contrary,
it will emphasize it and suggest that
the Psalmist was speaking the litera]
truth and not merely dealing in poetic
fancy when he wrote: “The Heavens
declare the glory of God, and the fir-
mament showeth His handiwork.”

The Federal. Government is

ports for farm products. This is a
far cry from the stand taken by

Mr. J.W. Pickersgill told the Lib-

policy for the Atlantic area.” Mr Pick-
ersgill is noted for a keen sense of

Pickersgill was an influential mem-

Mr. Churchill’s Warnings
By Patrick
‘The Honourable Gordon Chureh-
ill, our Minister of Trade and
Commence, has embarked upon
of the facts of Canadian life.
In a) series of clearly-expres-
sed, friendly but hard-hitting
speeches, he is repairing the er-
rors of omission by our govern-
ments over the past twenty years,
and explaining that we wish and
intend to be a free people, not
an economic satellite of the U.
S.A; 4.
“The United States and Can-
ada are each other’s best cus-
tomers,’’ he told a business au-
“Sixty per cent of Canada’s en-
tine export trade crosses the bor-
der. Seventy per cent of our im-
ports come from your country.
Measured in dollars we buy four
billion from you and you pur-
chase three billion from us.”
So far, so much the same; the
been proclaimed from so many
platforms for so many years.
But here Mr. Churchill adds a
new punch line of his own,.a sig-
nificant hook from which to hang
explanation of a fact overlooked
by Americans but a source of
dian who troubles to ponder our
future. : :
‘Tt is that difference of one
billion doliars in your favour that
causes some concern in Canada,”
continued Mr. Churchill. “The
i
Nicholson
question that arises in the minds
of Canadians is wheter or not we
are becoming too dependent ec-
onomically upon the United Sta-
tes. The second. question is whe-
ther economic dependence may
lead to political dependence.
These questions are sometimes
the subject of debate in Canada,
for historically we have strug-
gled for generations to build up
| and maintain a country polit
tically and economically free and
independent.”
| HOW TO REPAY DEBT
» That difference of one billion
dollars is now a regular yearly
occurrence. How can we pay that
suin«to-thestates 2... The. answer >|:
is that we are now accepting
eapital investment to that extent
each year, so we don’t have to
pay for the high living on U.S.
luxury imports which we cannot
afford to pay for. Mr. Churchill
implies the great problem: How
are we going to begin to pay in-
terest and to repay the capital
on all this flood of U.S. invest-
ment, so long as we have an ad-
verse trading balance with that
country? Unless we develop a
favourable trade balance, we will
not be able to meet those ob-
ligations on what is becoming a
mortgage on the whole of Can-
ada. At tthat time, will the U.S.
foreclose on the mortgage, and |
absorb Canada as an economic
satellite? —
Thus Mr. Churchill demonstra-
ted that it is essential for Can-
ada to diversify her trade, es-
pecially by seeking in other coun-
tires new markets for those of
our products which the U. S.
does noi need. The best exam-
ple of these is wheat, he said.
“And if other countries are to
buy from us, we must also buy
from them.” ;
Speaking recently in New York
City as well as in Chicago, Mr.
Churchill introduced mito his
“Lecture to the Philistines’ eight
-suggested rules for good man-
ners on the part of U.S. com-
panies operating branch plants
in Canada. These points all con-
tain mere horse sense and good
manners; it would not be neces-
sary to point them out to any
“management which observed the
| Golden Rule.
1, Permit and encourage your
Canadian. subsidiaries to seek ex-
port markets. ae :
..2. Use.as many Canadian ma-
terials and components in your
Canadian operations as can be ec-
onomically justified.
3. Do more processing of Can-
adian materials in Canada. —
4. Encourage and train Cana-
dians for managerial posts.
3. Undertake more research and
development work in Canada.
6. Give local management grea-
| ter autonomy within Canada.
7. Offer equity stocks in your
Canadcian subsidiaries to Cana
Canadcian subsidiaries to Cana-
dian investors. ~
8. Encourage branch plants to
participate more fully in the life
of their communities.
This Churchill rap-over-t h e-
kunckles to American Big Busi-
ness is a job very long overdue,
now being done well by our Trade
Minister.
Lawyers And Lawmakers
Arthur Blakely in the Montreal Gazette
In a recent address to mem-
risters’ Society, Mr. Grattan O’-
Leary, president of the Ottawa
Journal, drew. attention to the
substantial role which the legal
profession has played in COana-
dian public life.
He cited the distinguished pol-
itical careers of such great Cana-
dian lawyers as Edward Blake,
Sir John Thompson, Sir Robert
Borden and R. B.. Bennett, Nor
did he neglect Sir Wilfrid Laurier
Arthur Meighen, Louis S. St.
Laurent and others who, regarded
strictly as lawyers, may not have
all reached the first’ rank.
“In fact, Mr. O'Leary said, he
ment or an effective Parliament
functioning without the benefit
of the services of lawyer-parlia-
mentarians.
.“Indeed,’’ he is quoted as hav-
ing said, “‘the main role of the
lawyer in Parliament is to take
political thinking out of the heady
atmosphere of speculation and
philosophic introspection and
base it solidly in the practical end
of useful laws-good and just that
the citizen will understand, ac-
cept, respect and obey.”
The lawyer-parliamenitarian
was, he believed, indispensable,
TOO MANY LAWYERS? s
Not all observers, of course,
have shared Mr. O’Leary views
in this respect. A good many dis-
tinguished parilamentarians have
suggested that Canadian parlia-
ments contain too many lawyers
for their own good. Understand-
ably enough, almost all. of these
critics have been strangers to the
‘legal profession. The CCF par-
liamentary group, which ‘rarely
has a lawyer it can call its own,
has always professed to be disen-
chanted with the role which law-
yers’ have played in Parliament,
suggesting that they have been
preoccupied with the letter rather
than spirit of the laws. But the
CCF group has been, of course,
open to the suspicion of bias on
the general question of the value
it lacked members of this class
so frequently.
Another careful student of Par-
liament, Hill and its ways who
weighed the lawyer-members and
found them wanting in some res-
pects at least was professor
Norman Ward, of the University
-of Saskatchewan, author of an
extremely useful book entitled
“The Canadian House of Comm-
ons.” :
PROFESSOR QUOTED
“The chronicle of controverted
elections and election expenses
has been,’”’ he wrote, “‘partly one
of evasion of the country’s laws
by those who enacted them, and
who might on that acount, one
might think. properly be found
among the law’s foremost champ-
ions.
“That so many of the regrett-
able aspects of Canadian politics
have been made possible by legal
procedures and devices suggests
that the preponderance of law-
yers in the House of Commons
has not been an unmixed bless-
ing. But it would be unfair to
legal profession alone has been
blameworthy.....’’
COMMONS MEMBERSHIP
That the legal profession does
dominate Parliament and Govern-
leave the impression that the.
ment, there can be no doubt. Can-
ada’s first Prime Minister was a
lawyer, as is the present Prime
Minister, and as have been most
of those in between.
The story of the House of
Commons membership is similar.
Of the 181 M. P.’s who were
returned to the first Parliament
of the new Dominion of Canada
in 1867, at least 66 were lawyers.
There may well have been more.
At this late date, the economic
and occupational interests of 27
of the M. P.’s of 1867 are in the
‘“mknown’’ category. Over the
years since that time, the legal
profession has usually accounted
for at least one-third of the Com-
mons membership. A peak was
apparently reached in the 1911
general election, which despatch-
ed 93 lawyer-MPs. to the House
of Commons. The total number of
seats at stake in that election was
only 221.
R. M. Dawson once explained
the gravitation of lawyers to
Parliament as due partially to
“natural sympathy between the
practice of law and politics.’’ But
he added, that there was more
to it than that. A lawyer with
a good practice and a good part-
ner could make the temporary
withdnawal from his) normal oc-
cupation required by the uncer-
tainty of political life, more easi-
ly than others. This, incidentally,

Not Likely To
Transmit TB
By Herman N, Bundesen, M. D.
CAN PETS transmit diseases
such as tuberculosis?
Well, they can, but often the
pet is in greater danger of catch-
ing the disease from you than
you are in getting it from the
animal. In fact, even elephants
are known to have died from TB
infected by the human strain,
OFTEN GET TB ;
And, according to a recent is-
sue of ‘‘The American Review of
Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Di-
seases,’’ animals kept in zoos
frequently become infected w i th
tuberculosis. :
As far as pets go, TB in dogs
is pretty rare in the United Stat-
es. It does exist, however, in
some parts of the world. When
dogs do become infected with
TB, the human strain of bacillus
is more often to blame than is
the bovine strain.
Cats, on- the other hand, may
become infected by drinking milk
of tuberculous cows, but they ap-
pear to be very resistant to hu-
man tuberculosis. \
DANGER OF PSITTACOSIS
Both canaries and parrots can
catch TB, but, of course, the real
danger from parrots, as far as
their/owners are ~oncerned, 1s
psittacosis, a Virus infection
somewhat similar to influenza.
While canaries are more SUSs-
ceptible to the avian strain of
ally are infected by the animal
strain.
Monkeys seem to be the most
susceptible of all animals when
in captivity. In their native habi-
tats, however, they apparently
never contract TB.
RARELY HAVE IT
Laboratory animals such as
rabbits, mice and guinea pigs
might make good pets since they
very rarely have tuberculosis. t
But foxes and minks are quite
susceptible to bovine infection
when they are raised on fur
farms. Naturally, this doesn’t
mean that you can catch TB
simply by wearing a fur coat.
While some diseases, even TB,
ean be transmitted by pets, you
really don’t have to worry about
it in the light of our knowledge
as to how these diseases are con-
trolled. ;
QUESTION AND ANSWER
A.K.: My seven - month - old
grandson has what the physician
terms “bronchiolitis.” He said
nothing can be done to help this
condition. Is this true?
Could there possibly be any
connection between this ailment
of the baby’s and smoking on
the part of the mother when preg-
nant? ;
Answer: Bronchiolitis refers to
inflammation of the véry small
bronchial tubes called ‘‘bronchiol.
es.” It may be due to infection,
allergy of an asthma-like type,
or may be part of some general
disease. In most cases,.much can
be done to help this condition.
- Smoking by the mother during
her pregnancy probably has no
relationship to this disease.

flour and potatoes. Also threat-
ened were the two stations and
a string of freight cars.
The mortagage on the Cana-
dian Legion Home was burned
last evening at the monthly meet-
ing of the Charlottetown Legion
Branch, The meeting was lar-
gely attended, and great satis-
faction was expressed by the
the northern walls of Paris. Their
daily gleanings furnished the
mart with its stock in trade, and
their reputation as carriers of
vermin gave the Flea Market
its name.
Thrifty French housewives got
in the habit cf going to the
Marche aux Puces for odd items
hard to find in more prosaic
shopping centers—a new wheel for
the baby carriage or a porcelain
doorknob to match the wall-pap-
er in the guest bedroom.
Foreign travelers discovered
the place shortly after the turn
of the century. They found it a-
musing, and told their friends.
Canny Paris antique dealers,
quick to recognize a good thing,
moved in. Some came first to
buy stock for their shops on fash.

they had established branches.

ART OF BARGAINING
The thousands of merchants

shrewd bargainer. Except _ for
very cheap objects, a dealer
does not expect to- get his ask-
ing price. As one merchant ex-
plained, ‘‘If I want 300,000 francs
I start at 325,000. If I say 5,000
I mean 4,000.’’
But a customer has to be
shrewd to get a dealer down to
his last price, as an American
