These two outstanding events, occurring in one week, make Prince Edward Island the centre of interest at the present tine. This interest will be enhanced next week when the b1!

FROM THE RECORD

One or the things Mr. Mackenzie King inveighs against is the appointment by the Bennett Gov- ernment, beiore the dissolution oi

m.

y ‘ Parliament, of several members of " ' "the House oi Commons to the Sen-

ate. That, of course. has always been the prerogative of the Prime ' Minister but Mr. King professes to l regard it with alarm, as an indica- tion that democracy is being flout- ed.

‘This attitude is amusing in view oi the Liberal leader's past record. It will be recalled that in 1m Parliament was dissolved on September 5. On that same day

- Mr. King asked the Governor-Gen- eral to alpprove the calling to the Senate oi no fewer than three oi his colleagues in the Cabinet- Hon. Jacques Bureau, Minister o! Customs; Hon. H. S. Beland, Min- ister oi Health, and Hon. Charles Murphy, Postmaster-General; of two men who had sat in the dis- solved House oi Commons-J. J. Hughes, oi Prince Edward Island, and W. A. Buchanan, of Leth- bridge; together with two mn-opar- liamentarians. Creelman Mcarthur and John Lewis. Not only this: AFTER the dissolution. and before the polling on October 39, Mr. King asked ior the nomination to the Senate oi J. P. Rankin, A. B. Copp and J. P. Mulloy, all oi whom had been his supporters in the House of Commons.

What happened five years ago? Parliament was dissolved May 30, 1930. Once again Mr. King took advantage oi his prerogative u Prime Minister to "fill the Upper House with partisans." I-le did this AFTER the dissolution, not simul- taneously or before, as has been

The nomination of Rt. Hon. W. 1.. Mackenzie King ior his old con- stituency, Prince Albert, should surely mean at least one Liberal seat west of Fort William.

General Smuis’ warning as to Italy's action in North Africa may be spurned, but nevertheless it will be at the peril not only oi Italy but the white race generally. No one giving thought to the subject can fail to realize the significance

or General Smuts intervention at this juncture.

Oflice seekers have received a broad hint from Mr. Lea to be pre- pared for disappointment, to be- come "economic" sacrifices. That is all very well, and excellent advice had it emanated from one prepar- ed to lead the way in self-denial. But coming from m". Prime Oilloe Seeker it has tho suspicion oi rubbing salt in a raw wound.

The publication of the personnel oi the Bennett reconstructed gov- ernment is the starting signal for the party race ior victory at the polls. We now have in the running Federally four main parties, viz: Liberal-Conservative, Liberal, C.C.F.

and Reccns‘ ionist. there are local Communists, La- bour, Farmer and lrllependent,

but these may be summed up under C.C.l". with which they are likely to align in nine cases out oi ten.

Canada's export oi tar-m imple- ments and machinery was valued at $710,244 in June compared with $602,243 in May, and $321,192 in June, 1934.-Ploughs and parts ex- ported were valued at $178,868 com- pared with $82,938, the leading markets being British South Africa with $99,304, United States $40,779. United Kingdom $13,034 and Ar- gentina $8,959. Reapers-threshers were sent out to the value oi $150,- 163, the amount to Argentina be- ing $132,406.

Implements for the farm im- ported during June were valued at $542,217 compared with $662,064 in May, and $292,452 in Julld. 1934. The main supplying country was the United States with $570,904, ioliowed by the United K111840111 with $33,299. lntemal combustion traction engines. valued up to $1,- 400 each, was the largest item. the import being 383 engines at $292,455. oi which 369 came from the Unit- ed States. Paris for the foregoing engines were imported to the value of $132,268, the amount coming from the United States $131,467. Cream separators and parts amounted to 1.112 at $40,920, main- ly from the United Kingdom. Sweden. United Stain and Ger- many in the order named.

Germany has just concluded a summ school oi 1,500 German youths, guests oi the German Youth Movement.

And when that had been ac- complished. a racial alien arrived. a member or the Jewish people. and lived on land which others had made into proallsealahc.

Compared with these enormous issues a mere flood seems hardly worth rating as a calamity, yo; in China 5,000,000 people are said to be homeless at this moment be- cause oi an inundation. This is the numerical equivalent oi one-half of Canada's total population without shelter and destitute. Nor are they favorably placed for reliei to be brought to them. An appalling pro- portion are almost certain to per- ish, and to what terrible straits they may be driven ere that hap- perls is too ghastly to imagine.

The Evflnseiical Protestant church unwilling to accept the dictation oi Hitler-appointed bishops, and view- ing with misgivings encroachmen‘ upon the spiritual power. has been treated scarcely less harshly than Catholics and Jews. In the circum- stances, and seeing that the oom- blned adherents oi the three faiths must form a great part oi Ger- many‘s population, it may well be that Hitler has taken in too much territory, that the tale of Bismarck wgl be told again-Ottawa Jour- n .

The only place in which thstrnth is being told about Germany is out- side oi Germany. Foreign corre- spondents in that country, who wire facts to their newspapers, are being more and more subjected to ofllcial intimidation. Some have been ex- pelled and the rest may follow. For

Besides business reasons the Nazis dare not

close the doors against tourists and travellers, and. disguised journalists will get the news. Hitler and his gang cannot conceal themselves from the modern Argus.

Abyssinia was out off from the rest oi the world in the seventh century by Mohammedan conquests. Gibbon, the historian, wrote; "En- compassed by the enemies of their religion, the Ethiopians slept ior near a thousand years. forgetful o! the world, by whom they were ior- gotten."

Anti-Japanese newspapers in Shanghai are indulging in an out- burst oi unfavorable comment and are thereby disturbing the Chinese government who know that there is no hope or a rapprochement until these attacks cease. At the same time Russia has moved a force oi 160.000 to points in Siberia whence it might readily enter Mongolia.

For the fllsd four months of the present fiscal year the Dominion Government's income tax oovections Qccceded by $15,000,000 the yield of

Solitude is the culel Montaigne sought this soli- tude several hundred years ago and we have his matohlss essays as a result.

The minister oi health immed- iately appointed some oi his high- er oflicials to make an investigation.

As a result of this eillcient clean- up there has been no serious crime for more than a year and we find that the statistics now show a tctal absence oi violence. Shooting and stabbing affairs are practically unknown on Prince Edward Island.

Chiei Elrtwhistle and his men have risen to the situation with alertness and commendable elli- ciency and with the loyal support and co-opcratlon of his department as a whole. Besides his service in the Northwest Mounted Police the present police head served in France with the R.C.M.P. Squadron, the Canadian Light Horse and the Can- adian Corps Headquarters. He wears a King George's coronation medal and also\the King's Silver Jubilee decoration. For some years he served as Sergeant oi the RC. M.P. Dope Squad at Windsor On- tario, and has a wide and varied ex- perience in the branches oi pol- ice work.
