VIVE LE ROI

Today, His Majesty, Kins George ..'V., eeiebrazes his twenty-second anniversary as a reigning monarch. It was on May 6, l9l0—twenty-two years ago-that King George as- cended the throne on the deccase of his father, K1118 Edward VII. g It will be the wish and prayer of all hs people, on this signiﬁcant day, that, His Majesty may long continue to adorn the high office to which he was called in the provid- ence of God and by the will of his people, an office the burden of which has been so tremendous throughout all those years, but ;\i'llich has been so manfuily and ﬂlccesshllly burno- ii When King George took over his heavy task, while some dark clouds darkened the horizon, ihcre were few people, however farseeing, who could even have anticipated the tremendous e\'ents which were to characterize his reign, The shat- tering of so many ancient dynasties in recent years has but served to emphasize the achievements of His Majesty and the estimation in which he is held. As Sir George int-um wrote at the close of his book. "King George, a sketch of a Great Ruler":

.‘ "Then may have been, nay itherc surely have been, Monarchs a who by personal beauty or charm, 3 or by the tenderness of their youth f_ or even by their very misfortunes gand frailties, have made livelier iappeal to Popular imagination

than King George V.: there are

others whose memories began to ‘fade almost before their bodies iwm cold. But history might be ‘ransacked in vain to find a ,S<rvercign on whose life, and life- } wcrk, its people set a. higher and Wiper value."

I In such tribute all true Canadians will join gBady on this anniversary, and w.ll cry "Vive le Roi."

ECONOMIC CONFERENCE

Now that the Beauhamois Scan-- dJl has been aired and got rid of, the Government and legislators at Ottawa. wil1 have more time and inclination to devote “to the arrange- ments for the coming great event this summer in the Capital.

i The agenda of the Imperial Eco-

comprbo two main and essential ltcms-intra-Imperial trade and Intro-Imperial currency. These _ l subjects will wmprlse the mlridsmcntal work of the confer- circa.

i Under the heading of trade will come the whole question of int-ra- ilmperial tariffs and preference!- Under the heading of currency, consideration will be given to such measures as will make for stabili- sation. x

i The conference is not 801M W hear delegations or individuals, al-

foro the conference in writing. Drdinarily an Imperial conference opens and clmes with plenary, pub- lie sittings. The rest of the time is spent in camera in various sections or committees.

CANAISNS WAR HISTORY

A question asked in the House of Commons recently elicited the an- swer that only one volume of the of- ficial history of Canada's part in the Great War has so far been com- pleted, qlamely, the record of the Medical Forces, written by Sir Andrew Macphail. Other volumes, it was intimated, were in course of compilation, but no information was obtainable as to the prospec- tive date of the publication of l completed history.

The question also came up in the Senate, and Senator Meighen, replying, sold the intention had been to prepare such a history, and that intention has not been aband- oned. For his part, however, he agre- ed with senator Pascal Poirier, him-

self a. Doctor of Literature, that official historians are not most

suitably entrusted with such a task, and none of the great histories of the world could have been written officially. Such l. history us had been contemplated would take a commonplace form. What the Gov- ernment would prefer, apparently, would be to place at the disposal of a “real writer of English and of French prose" the matter in its files and other facilities, and have such a h'storian write the history of Canada in the War.

There is no finer writer of 13mg- lish prose in Canada than Sir An- drew Macphcil, and if Sir Andrew's services can be obtained in editing the suixscquent volumes there will be no question as to their lit- erary merit.

TWO LEA DERS

If Mr. Mackenzie King has any doubt as to the opinion in which he is held by responsible elements in his party, he has only to follow the editorial comments of the Tor- onto Globe, leading Liberal news- paper. Commenting recently on Mr. King's utterance on the forthcom- ing Imperial Economic Conference, the Globe says drily: '

"If the ‘ was intended as a contribution to the cause of Empire trade, its value at this time is questionable. It may have a place as a declaration of party policy, but the Liberal leader's opposition to the Empire First idea is strangely in contrast with the notable campaign he con- ducted in behalf of the Dunning Budget. . .In so far as it is Liberal policy to seek expan- sion of Empire commerce and open the door to British com- modities without lfnperllling Can- adian industry, a declaration to this effect would enhance the good-will spirit of the visiting delegations. But why is it neces- sary-or considered even good politics-to talk of shackling the freedom of self-governing Domin- ions, or of raprisals on the part of other countries?"

Prom these and similar refer-

leader, it is in-

piring by way of contrast to

turn to the words with which tacked us. Failure to do so has Premier Bennett concluded a not- driven the Empire into the slouch able speech on the financial sltu- o‘ despond‘ we are dmggmg our"

"I am willing to balance the confidence which the people of this country have in the Govern- ment against the confidence they have in the Opposition. I believe that they fairly and clearly ap- preciate and realize the burden, the difficulties and the respons- ibilities under which we labour. I believe nothing more clearly ex- presses the thought which is in the mind of every hon. ﬁiember who sits to the right of the Speaker than the words of the Poet Laureate:

‘though much is taken, much abides; and-though We are not now that strength, which in old days Moved earth and hgaven; that which we are, we are; One equal tamper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but _ strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

economic ills might never have at-

selves out of it slowly and painful- ly. But it would be well to re- member a grave word of warning. "If practical results are not achiev- ed it stands a grave risk of

cures B liE WAY

While neither the United States nor any other nation that trades heavily with the United Kingdom can do other than regret that the British are makug the entry of foreign products into their coun- try increasingly difficult, the fact stands out that they have definite purposes to achieve. Furthermore, they believe that the attainment of those objectives warrants the means to accomplish them. How- ever unfortunate it may be for the rest of the world, one can hardly disregard the fact that the British are only cmulatng the example given them by the suffering na- tions=4=rovidence Journal.

An investigator in Calgary has been giving certain "Made in Ca- nada" goods which people are urg- ed to buy a careful scrutiny with the result that he finds U. S. A. or the word Japan, or Germany or Hungary along with that of Cana- da. He finds some Canada goods in foreign containers or with for- eign printed labcls. That is to say in order to buy a made in Canada article you often have to pay for another article not made in Cana- da, although the words “Made in Canada." appear. The remedy of course is with the buyer, who is free to make a choice.

True patience is not merely a. dull endurance of the hazards of fortune. It is rather the habit of turning to some account the changes and chances that lie in our path, so that when our high op- portunity comes we may be ready for it.

Hoarding is so great and real an evil that. the American Govern- ment must establish elaborate ma- chinery and vote immense sums to try and cure it. But what causes it? Nothing except lack of public confidence in bunks. This feeling exists in the United States but not across the border in a very similar community in Canada Why not? Because our banking system is sound and sane. It is as easy as that. -

The Anchor-Donaldson liner Letitia has sailed from Glasgow to Canada with a thoroughly repre- sentative body of Scottish manu- facturers, industrialists, and busi- ness men. She has been fitted up after the manner of the British Trade Ship, with arcades of shops along her decks, and she will pre- sent an exhibition of Scottish pro- ducts and manufactures that has probably never been ' equalled for completeness and variety. Tﬁc ship will be open for inspection every clay she is in the port of Mon- treal. Scotland is definitely be- hind this venture. It is no local enterprise. The whole country north of the Tweed has taken up the idea enthusiastically.

Now, by the Import Duties Act, Britain, in so far as she herself is concomed, has accepted the Em- pire as an economic unit in regard to tariffs. Will the Dominions reciprocate? This is the real question which must be faced at Ottawa. The difficulties are for- midable, and manifestly the Do- minicns cannot be expected to adopt at once the "lock, stock and barrel" attitude which was possible in Britain's case. On the other hand, they can-if they are wil- ling-commit themselves to a road which in time will bring them to the desired goal. Sacrifices will be necessary, and may bear hard on certain industries, but the re- wards are immense-Dublin Week- ly Irish Times.

An opportunity says the Trini- dad Guardian, is about to present itself which may never be repeat- ed. Ottawa will be the great cp- portunity to put Empire trade on a proper basis and to provide u. common standard and stable med-

In experiments on animals, small animals like guinea pigs, and lug; animals such as horses 811d’ cows, the food given has been shown to have a most important effect upon the health and the Imwlh o! the animal. Not that the amount of food is unimportant although ﬂuﬂlg- lent food must be given, but the quality, and the different factors in the food, are even more important. Just because you and I feel ‘sat- isiled‘ after a meal does not say that we have eaten enough food or the right kinds of food best suited to us. One individual will eat nothing but meat, potatoes ,and bread, and drink tea or coﬂee; he has no use for vegetables and fniits as he thinks they just fill him up and don't ‘stand by him’ during his work. Another, feels that moat was never meant for man, inst his stomach is large to hold bulky food; his small intestine was made 20 feet long so as to give plenty of surface for absorbing the food into the blood; and the large intestine, very large in diameter and 6 feet long, was meant to hold the large amount of waste and ﬁbrous or hard tissue that is found in vege- tables.

The vegetarian thus argues that if meat, eggs, and other concen- trated foocls were meant to be eaten, man would not have needed the large stomach and intestines that he possesses.

As you know we are not all alike, there is a difference in the size and positions of stomachs, some empty- ing amealinl toilhours, andan- other taking 4 to 6 hours to get rid of the same amount and kind of food. ‘Ihere is a difference in the

It was not possible to raise peaches, pears and pine- apple; in England for canning pur- poses, but other small fruits, as well as vegetables, could be cultivated in large quantity. The very. first step. and it is significant of British thoroughness, was the creation of a. cannng research station, and when business men fumed their attention to the quastion of factories this station gave them advice as to machinery, raw material and the technique of canning,

ainount and quality of the diges- tive juices; a. difference in the rate at which the food is absorbed into the blood; a. difference in the gian- dular system which regulates the rate at which the processes work; a difference in the nervous makeup or nervous system, in that the least emotional disturbance affects food and digestion.

What is my point?

That just because one individual has found a certain diet that agrees with him, and that another diet upsets him, that doesn't mean that the one that agrees with him is the ideal diet for everybody and the other one is not.

Our best food or nutrition experts are agreed that a mixed diet-quest or eggs once a day, some bread, the various vegetables including one leafy vegetable, and fruit-Julﬂlls all the body requirements as to heat units, vitamins, and minerals.

Tho Free State, says the Auck- landweeltly News, has been the spearhead of separatist inﬂuence. Entering the Imperial Conference in 1923, it took at once the role of dissolver of union, thanks to the pressure of the Fianna Fail.

grads in the motion of censure ‘ Senators MacDougBld d Bay- don for participation in Beau- barnois transaction was thus lum- inod up by the Rt. Hon. Arthur Molghen, Government leader in the Senate, at the close of his speech on April 28: "I ask honourable senators, while being/scrupulously careful not to do In injustice to one of their fellow members by the passing of this re- solution. to be at least equally careful to do no injustice to those who are our first concern, the peo- ple whom we serve.

But whether the public mind is more sensitive or not, assuming that we act as we would in normal days, can we face the people of our country and pro- claim to them and before the world that the conduct of two of our number-is such as to be within the right of every Senator? "Are we going to place the seal of our approbation upon such con- duct?

Yea, more, what are they going to think of our institutions. one and all? If confidence in parliamentary go- vernment is still further reduced. if it is affected detrimentally by our verdict, it will be the‘ responsi- bility of every member of this House, and a very painful and lasting responsibility.

The responsibility of se- just as great as that of senators just as great as that of seoatnrs on this side of the House. I should lament a party verdict on this question. I should not like to see honourable members on this side vote their approval of such con- duct, but I would rather see a di- vided conception of duty here than that honourable senators u- ito, to a man, should vote against this motion. A party verdict on this matter would be a very serious thing. We do not want it. Hon- “ - must vote as dri- ven by their consciences. and I hope that no man, on any side, will be driven by his conscience to vote against this motion-the ver- dict of a unanimously chosen com- rnlttoo of this House and the una- nimous verdict of a committee of the other. "Surely we can remove this sub- ject from the sphere of party. I have not made this speech from a party standpoint, and honourable members now know it. I have made it because I shall be held ac- countable for the conduct of the Government in relation to this matter. I know that I shall be held personally responsible, and I am trying to discharge that , on- al responsibility to the best of my power. "In closing I want to say that not one atom. not one element of antagonism has moved me for the moment. The simple reason is that such antagonism does not ex- ist.

Atlantic Salmon

(Fisheries Bulletin) More than 31,000,000 Atlantic salmon eggs were collected during‘ the autumn of 1931 by the Fish' Culture Branch of the Dominion‘ Department of Fisheries and the' resultant fry will be distributed in suitable streams next spring and summer. It is by work such as this that the fish culture experts help to maintain and build up the stocks of Canada's commercial fish and sport fish. These partcular eggs were ob-i tained at.the seven salmon ponds’ which the department operates in the Maritime Provinces, and ai- though most of the ponds yielded larger collections than in 1030 the grand total was not quite as high as in that year. A feature of the year's work was a record collection of landbcked salmon eggs at the Ohamcook lakes, New Brunswick. All told. over 346,700 of these eggs were obttfncd.

(Mail and lilmpire) The voice of the lawn mower will soon again be heard in the land. It is interesting to note that; this machine is one hundred years old and is of British origin. ‘The firm which first maoﬁ it is still selling it. This device, which lop. ented a. wonderful advance in gardening, has not been much modernized
