The bill specifically states that "nothing herein shall be taken to authorize any amalgamation of any (Canadian) Natonal Company with B-HY (Canadian) Pacific COmpany."

Whatever may be the advantages 0f Lh¢ Imperial Czuilcruuce to Great Britain, says the nfcibourne Argus. there can be no doubt of its advan- tage to the Dominions. It will be for exporting countries to make thfl most of their advantage, and to sec that the quality of $110 products O1‘- fered‘ in the Brtish market is de- serving of the preference that the tariff bestows upon it.

llOW T0 AVOID THE NEED O_I1‘ MENTAL TREATMENT

The difference between a patient inside the mental hospital and t-hn individual outside is that the one inside cannot get along with his fellow man, cannot fit into the or- dinary scheme of life to make a living, and the one outside can.

Sometimes we meet cases outside

who seem Just a. little queer or ‘un- ‘ usual’ in their behavior and we per- ‘haps wonder just whether they will ‘continue to remain outside the

mental hospital for any length of ltime.

One oi these types of cases is known as that of “rigid personal- ity.” Dr. Wendell‘ Muncie says that the study of any mental patient be- comes a study of his personality.

The rigid personality 1s made up ,of many factors such as obstlnacy, laggressfveness, pride, serisltfveness, in rigid code oi personal ethics or unorals, an inability to make eon- fcessions (give and take), a hundred per cent attitude on every subject, and so forth.

Now as you and I look at the

above we may wish at times that ‘we-were a. little more obstinate or firm about some things; that we were a little more aggressive in- stead of standing back and letting some one else do certain work; that ‘we had perhaps a. little more pride or dignity at times; that we did not agree with other people so easily or so readily; that we took a. hundred ‘per cent stand instead of straddling the fence in our opinions. l Dr. Muncle points out that in general these qualities are valu- able; these very quaiities may achieve considerable success.

However these same qualities are like a “two-edged sword," and many of the difficulties that best the pat- ient and make it hard lor him to be really happy and able to get along well with other people are ,dlrect!y due to these severe or rigid ‘qualities.

It is to prevent the rigid person- ality that teachers and parents try now to have the ‘youngsters take part in all the affairs of liie in school, in the home, and outdoors. A youngster will learn to seek his rights. but not to demand more than his rights. He will learn to undergo just criticism without feel- ing to deeply hurt.

In other words he will not live within himself too much, but will learn to live with and for others.

Is It Success?

(Financial Post) Most first-hand observers of the Russian scene find so much activi- ty, so much that is new and vital, so much that impresses them by its sheer stupefying immensity that

their imagination and their honest

intellectual conception can hardly grasp it. In the brisk and earnest industry of the Russian scene there is the atmosphere of success. People are improving the shining hour with a. persevering hum: they are doing things that are not be~ lng done anywhere else 1n the world and doing them in newer ways. Russia today is a picture oi a sluggish and somnolent people aroused to restless working.

But is mere action success? Com- munism‘ 1n Russia seems 1o be working because thereds so much to see. But eventually there will come the testing time when all that is blng accomplished and all that is planned must be measuered with age-old social and ec0n0m1O yardsticks. Only then will we know if Lenin and Stalin have served Russia well.

Most people who went into West- ern Canada five years ago would have seen in the Canadian wheat pools the most important and suc- cessful experiment ever attempted in the history of the world's agri- cuitur. There was brisk enthusiasm. new velocity, eager vitality, persis- tent splendor to support the im- pression of tremendous success. But the wheatipools crumbled. be- cause they were built cn the foun- dations of false economics and in their wreckage were seen the dis- tress and suffering of the farmers.

Most observers who looked upon the Canadian National Railways five years ago saw a throbbing ma- chine in motion under full steam, expanding. advancing, to become a scientific and popular wonder. sir Henry Thornton was the greatest railway chieftaln in the world, the Stalin of the rails who had but m dream to conquer. Today we know something of the cost at which this show of achevement was attain- ed.
