In. England this matter was in- veatlglted. and it was found that ‘instances at‘ sane persona being wnoiigly detained must be of the rarest occurrence."

However the whole system of treating men-ml cases in these in- stitutions has -been undergoing ,a change lu the last few years. Formerly as you know. when an individual became sick linen-tally the family, p- rlraps much against ‘their inclinations. simply reported the

Washington strenuously opposes the Mexican policy but the hlexican Government. is unyielding. In a past century great wars often resulted from less serious causes than are now dis- lurbing American-Alcxictln rela- lions.

Among the mistake: of ‘Canada's immigrztion policy in the past was the bringing in of Doultllobons and Mennonites. The latter were not so crazy as the Doukoibora and thud more good qualities and: fewer ob-

Rather there is, in some lines. a too sharp competition for the welfare of the whole commun it)’. as well as for that of individu- al dealers. A dealer doing fairly well in one line of goods, may gain a few additional dollars when he enters into competition with his neighbor dealer who is struggling along in an effort to make a living out of another line of business. But he does not benefit the community. even if he should for a. time "cut prices" just enough to get the trade. The victim of ‘his competi- tion may be forced into liquida- llvn 01‘ may vbe constrained to go HWB-Y to a larger-field in the United States or iWestern Canada, and the community may lose a good citizen and the benefits of his products and expenditures; or he may struggle here unprosperously until he dies. ‘Such a victim of un- fair and over-competition, if hon- est in his dealings should be favor- ed and preferred by the purchasing public. and his over-reaching oo-m- petltor should be taught that he had better stick to his own busi- ness and give others, in otherllnes. n chance to make good in the com- munity

Here tllc "treatment" simply meant keeping him under observa- tion all the time so that he did m1 injure himself or others. Once the brain had become sick. it was thought to ‘b0 useless to do other than just keep the patient away fromtsane people.

-'I'llll-l royal commission in London tells nu that there is no clear dis- tinctlon between mental illness and physical illness, and that the man- ner of handling the matter should be the same.
