CANADA'S EXAMPLE

Canada is being watched closely and appreclatively by observers lll the Old Country, as is evidenced by the following interesting comment in an Irish exchange, th Cork Examiner: ~

"The representatives of the Free State (at the Imperial‘ Confer- ence) cannot but gain in knowledge from contact with men who have helped to build up-thc, Dominion countries. If we were to select ex- amples for consideration, the prin- ciples on which Canada solved her racial ,.robleins are worthy of in- vestigation. Some persons in this country who know nothing about Canada may look on it as an over-

ing of the sort. Before Englandnac- qulred Canada by the fortunes of ‘I very complicated war,‘ it~was1 a French colony. The French still form the ‘ ‘ individual racial section of the population-and they

If the present Japanese occupa- tion, says the ‘Manchester Guard- ian, is, as seems probable,‘ continu- ed indifinitely there is likely to be serious trouble between Japan and Russia. For Russia has consider- able interests in Mancl-iuria. iAl- ready a state of tensionhexists be- tween the two countries that shows itself every now and again in some inflammatorylncldent followed by an exchange of diplomatic Notes. According to the Soviet authorities, there are plenty of White Russians knocking about in Manchuria.who are ready to intrigue or fight against the Government that has exiled them: on the other hand, rumors. always unsubstantiated, are from time to time circulated to the effect that Chinese resistance to" Japanese aggression receives en- eouragement and help from Rus- sia. Though it is clear enough thsifneither Russia nor Japan has any stomach for a war, the actual situation in Manchuria might easily cause them to drift into one.

Time heals many sores. Ram- say MacDonald, during the Great War, was called "pacifist", “trai- tor", and “pro-German," but he has for years-been Britain's pre- mier. Generals Smuts and Hert- zog-fought against Britain in the South African war, but they have been successively prime ministers of a British Dominion. De Valera was commandant in the Irish na- tional insurrection, but he is at the head of another British dominion, succeeding Cosgrave, another revo- lutionist. In Germany, England's great foe of a few years ago, von llindenburg. has just scored a striking victory. and Englishmen applaud the result.

foods as eggs and milk irritate the skin, while others suffering with acne find these foods have not this effect.

Others ilnd that pork, salt meats, salt fish, fresh fruits, veal, goose, liver, oatmeal, candles, cream but- ter, hot cakee, fried foods of all kinds, hot bread, hot cakes and hot rolls increase the number and sev- erity of the pimples. '

What about fats?

Dr. Jean Bogert tells us that fats act iii two ways to cause acne, boils, and even occasionally to cause ec- zema. First, large amounts of fats in the food slow down the movements of digestion and interfere with the digestion of other foods so that the putrefaction of undigested food may take place in the intestine. Second, if large amounts of free fat are eaten the body may not be able to handle it all at once, and products due to the incomplete use or bin-n- ing up of fat, may accumulate in the tissues. Thus these products and those due to the intestinal putre- faction, when absorbed and carried to the skin, are so irritating, that skin disorders may follow. Sufferers from acne or pimples should cut down on_ fats-cream, butter, fat meats, rich _ desserts, greasy and fried foods.

The thought then is that while the treatment of the pimples by ointments, washes, x ray and other methods are usually necessary, the food and getting rid of wastes, must also be given attention.

Out of the briara boughs. When March winds eke

So old with their ti’ &N— 0h, no man knows

Very old are the brooks;

If anyone has any idea that the present depression is, as some have thoughtlessly said, the worst in history, I can only feel amused when 1 think of the summing up o! the situation by Payson Tucker at that meeting. I was so i impressed with what he raid that his words, which I can repeat verbatim, are as fresh in my memory as if they were ‘ yesterday. He said, “if con- dtlons continue as they are now, every railroad in the United States w‘ll be bankrupt in six months, and we might as well all be in the same boat, but iron the other hand we have a change for the better by that time, and we complete the road now, we will then be all ready for business when the good times ar- rive." Thst short speech by Payson ‘fucker decided the issue; the road was completed, and by that time we had all the business we could handle. There is a lesson for us today in the wisdom of Payson Tucker.

Having weathered three or four panics in my time, I have no hesi- tation in saying that prosperity is now simply waiting for us to go out and meet it half way. Don't keep on waiting; if both wait we shall never meet. 1f all of these who have the money, and there are a sufflcent number who have, would go out and buy as freely as they did in ‘i929, the dopression would soon be a. thing of the past.

In the past there has been agitation for preference. But always there was the difficulty that Britain was s free trade naton, and having no protective tariff, had no way of granting a preference. Now that Britain is no longer, a free trade country. the way is open, ‘The Dominions and the Motherland can advance from general principles to details.
