TUESDAY, JUNE 20. 1939

Still Unsolved,‘

'1

According to a statement issued by the Dom- inion Minister of Labor, Hon. Norman Rogers, the grand total of Canadians on urban and agri- cultural relief i11 April numbered 1,005,000, a. de- crease of 2.2 per cent as compared with March and nearly two per cent below April, 1938. The number of “fully employable” persons on relief was 187,000 in April, as against 192.000 in March, the decline from the earlier to the later month being about 2.6 per cent. Persons re- ceiving “nou~z1gricultural aid" totalled 686,000, a decrease of 2.7 per cent from the preceding month but an increase of more than 8 per cent

' over April of last year.

A‘ ’I"h_e‘ investigator concluded:

A farm population of 319,000 received relief in April. 264.000 of these being in Saskatche- wan. This was a drop of 18.6 per cent from the April record in 1938.

The amount of agricultural relief fluctuates, of course, according to economic conditions in the \\'estern drought area, and there is nothing any Government can do but accept the situation and pay the price of nature's ravages. But urban relief stands in a different category, and it is this category with which the Government may be expected to cope with measures cal- culated to stimulate business and manual em- ployment. \’\’hat is particularly disconcerting is the Minister of Labor's frank admission that there were actually more wage—earners out of work this April than a year earlier, that;he in- crease is so large as 8 per cent and that the total stands at the huge aggregate of 686,000 persons.

What one should like to know is what, if anything, the Government proposes to do about it. The unemployment problem not only remains unsolved,—it seems to be taken for granted, like taxes and the weather.

There is logic in Dr. Manion’s condemnation of the Government on this score. and in the em-

j phasis he places on work and wages, with op-

portunity for youth and security for all as the keystones of social reform.

Farm Purchasing Power

The Canadian Bank of Commerce index of Canadian farm purchasing power for "the twelve months ending March last was 84.47 (1926- 100) as compared with 83.14 for the twelve months ending December 1938 and 79.35 for the corresponding period ending March 1938.

The rise above the level of the calendar year 1938, says the Bank's monthly letter, is due to a decline in farm costs (77.67 compared with $0.19) which is in turn the result of substanti- llly lower costs of feed and seed, more than offsetting minor increases in those of fertilizers- lnd agricultural implements. Farm income was actually lower (65.61 as compared with 66.67) owing to the relatively small returns for the first quarter of the current year, which was estimated to have been nearly 7 per cent, below those of the first quarter of 1938. Much lower grain prices were responsible for this decline; the market price of wheat, for -example, was only about 42 per cent, of the corresponding 1938 price. \‘Vheat deliveries during the quarter were actually higher than a year ago, as were sales of most classes of live stock, while the prices of the latter averaged considerably higher. Potatoes and tobacco also brought higher re- turns, but those from all grains, hay, milk, poul- try, eggs and furs from fur farms were lower.

Compared with the previous twelve months, farm income for the twelve months ending March last was about 3 per cent. higher, owing in the main to the heavy deliveries of wheat in the third quarter of 193.8.

The Bond Complete

nn aftermath to Their Majesties' visit to the United States is an apparently well-authenticated claim that Queen Elizabeth is distantly related to George Washington; also to General Robert E. Lee, leader‘ of the Confederate forces in the Civil .War. Authority for this interesting claim is a British genealogist, Anthony’ R- Wagner, an official of the College of Arms, London, and director of the heraldic display in the British pavillion at the New York World's ‘Fair:

The relationship, as stated in The New York Times, runs back to colonial days in America, It is claimed that Queen Elizabeth arid George Washington had in-common several ancestors, one Col. Augustine Warner, who came to Am- cries in 1628, and the line of his descendants in- cluded Robert E. Lee. Another relative married Lawrence -Washington, _the grandfather’ of George. Branching off in another direction, this

. genealogist finds that one of Colonel Wamer'1

descendants became the wife of Claude Lyons-' Bowen (as the name was then), -thirteenth Earlof Sn-athmorc and the gnndfstheijwof Queen Elizabeth, ' 7 "Her Msiesly in not onlv dmna from,severs'l of th est pioneer fnjthc“‘Vlrglni

If correct, it indicates again that, by going back far enough. astonishing-PCYMPS startling——relationships may be established. The branches of a family tree spread far and wide as the centuries pass. - There was an impressive moment in Wash- ington when King George VI placed a wreath in Washington's tomb. Thoughts flew back to the days of that other King George whose associ- ations with America were so different; but, if this genealogist has investigated accurately, the ceremony at Mount Vernon had an added significance: It meant that the King was honor- irig, not only a great American, but a man to whom his Queen was distantly related. Had this announcement been made before the Royal visit. Her Majesty's reception in the United Sl8l€5

would have been even more 1mpressiv¢.=-if that were possible.

————-———<——-———<—--' After Thoughts

Prince Edward ‘Island is evidently not the only Province in which there was disappoint- ment over the arrangements for the Royal Visit. The Toronto Globe and Mail says:

“It is poor satisfaction to those disappointed in not seeing Their Majesties to explain that if the Royal train had run slowly past all places where crowds had assembled the whole pro- gramme would have been upset. The fault lay in the arranging of the program-—too much op- portunity for officialdom and too little for the general public—especially the children.”

In lighter mood the Globe and Mail notes that at Charlottetown Queen Elizabeth was greeted by Premier Thane Alexander Campbell and re- calls the lines: “All hail Macbethl Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis."

In the eighteenth century the house was the headquarters of the Kit-cat Club, and a. special room was ad- ded to hang the paintings of the club manbers done by Kneller. At the same time the Sports Club vacates its premises in St. James’; square and leaves a curl- ou.s remnant of lstory to be swallowed up by s new bulldln . The present house is 262 years od. and la first oacupant was Honore Courtln, the French Ambassador to the court of King Charles II. The Ambassador had a. small chapel built for him at the back of the house. After 1688. when they ran as risk of demolition by a. crowd frenzied at the flight, of James 1. house and chapel sank into obscurity until, in 1795.

Having been occupied in turn by Bwedenborglnns, Baptists. and Anglicans, the chapel disappeared ln 1876 and to all oubwnrd ap- pearance was swept away.

Another effort to wean the Soviet citizenry from their traditional national drink~—vodka—— has started to the accompaniment of a campaign to improve the quality and increase the quantity of Soviet wine and beer. Joseph Stalin himself is understood to have inspired this campaign. An ambitious program of wine-making has been instituted. Last year, according to official fig- ures, the Food Industry gave the country near- ly 1oo,ooo,ooo quarts of still \vine and by 1942- the last year of the Third Five‘Year Plan-it is to produce 150,000,000 quarts. The chief rea- son the Soviet regime is anxious to increase champagne production is to give the big money- malrers, such as "Stakhanovists” and the upper bracket engineers, something on which to spend their surplus earnings. Most staple consumer goods, such as clothing. textiles and the like, are now unobtainable or almost so, and the only way in which big carriers can receive commodities in return for their work is in luxuries. It is a sort of "let 'em drink champagne." ‘

Dr. Wilder G_ Penfield of Montreal, claims to be able to cure epilepsy. Dr. Penfield, a. di- rector of the Montreal Neurological Institute, and surgeon at the Royal Victoria and Mont- real General hospitals, spoke before the I58th annual meeting of the Massachusetts Medical Association. He described his method as first questioning the patient to discover which section of the brain was suspect; then definitely locating the faulty portion by electroence—phalography, or the use of a delicate machine to measure elec‘ trical impulsesifrorm various portions of the brain. The particular brain convolution which is the orgin of the seizures and which may be faulty through improper blood supply, growth, or injury, is cut out. He said large portions of the brain sections have been removed without impairing the normal fiinctioning ‘of the patient.
