National Finnncinq

Speculation continues. says the iloncton Times, as to just how Pre- mier Bennett as Finance lvlinister will attempt to meet the present rin- ancial situation. What is known as the Dunning budget, brought down last year late in the last session of‘ the King Government, made no at- tempt to balance the accounts and gave no information to Parliament or the country as to what was expected revenue and expen- diture. In spite of the fact that the national revenue was falling at the rate of five million dollars e. month, lhe Dunning‘ budget made. some rc- ductions in taxes and also provided for expenditures designed to assist! the Kine Government iii its appeal: to the electorate. Admittedly Prom-l icr Bennett and his colleagues liavel a difficult task, which is not lighten- ed by the fact that Canada has over a billion dollars of war and other

debts maturziig within the riexc two‘

gveurs. This is not the grcatesbof the Government's worries, however. us money is plentiful and cheap and Do- niiiiicii bonds woud find a ready sale nt fl. lower rate of intertst than the due. It is probable. however, that Mr. Bennett may draw upon the enormous amounts oi rc- FFITCS held by the insurance com-

issiiz-s coining

jar-mos and also upon the savings de- posts in the banks for which, it is believed, it is difficult to ﬁnd proﬁt- able emplovriicvit. Indeed, Mr. ‘Ben- nett, speeiking in Parliament in i921 as lciialci" of the Opposition said “the time had come for this parliament in the exercise of its unquestioned authority say that those. bunk tic-posits of the people should be utilized to the extent necessary to provide for maturing ob- ligations not met out of surpluses. At the slime time there would be creat- vd :1 sccuritv that would rank with the consols of England, n consolidat- ed 4 jvrr cent. security that could be

On the other hand the Fredericton Glcaivrr. in n special dcspatch from Ottawa, says:

“There is little if any foundation, ‘The (‘dunner learns, for such an as- sumption. Mr. Bennett is knoivn to liolu the opinicii that financial con- ditzons a great chance since 1927 and that a scheme which €l(l])>3Z\l'Cd attractive then is

"rho Dominion of Canada is pay- ing on its present public debt slight- 1y over 5 _'- per cent. interest, and if the jiresciit favorable money market continues for another two or three jcnrs.

That is exactly what we say. and I repeat, there is no reason in the world why gentlemen from the west. from the central provinces and from the Maritime Provinces cannot agree to pass legislation that will ensure to Canadian citizens the full home mar- ket. Then. our farmers would find a market for their goods.

Board of Health Report

Last year an excellent prececlcn: was set by the Provincial Board of Health in presenting a comprehen- sive annual report of its activities to the Government, wi-ileli report ‘c115 duly tabled in the Legislature. ‘Phi-i year the same procedure has been followed, and the second annual re- port of the Board was tabled by Pre- mier ma. last week. The report contains, in addition to a re- view of the various health activities carried on, a valuable series of tables of vital statistics for the Province for 1939, together with tentative syn- optic tables for the past your. The jircpziration of these tables involved much time and clerical work, and reflects credit on the compilers.

Dr. CPGEIIIIHII, Provincial Health Officer, in his annual review sums up the purpose of the reorganiza- tion of the health activities of the Province under the lBoard of Health and emphasizes the necessity of con- tinued interest on the pan of the public generally if the work thus undertaken is to achieve the results anticipated.

The annual report of the Public health nursing service as given at the recent annual meeting of the provincial branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society, is included.

The Provincial Sanatorium (J0m- missi0n's report, which is also in- cluded. indicates that the Sanator- ium is now nearing completion. The Commission is making every effort to have it ready for patients shortly after the contractor hands it over. A close supervision over the cori- struction work has been maintained and the Commissioners have every conﬁdence that the institution will be satisfactory.

Of special interest are the tables dealing with tuberculosis. The death rate per 100.000 population from this dread disease was 105.6 in 1030. as against 86.2 in 1929. 116 in 1928, 83 in 1927. 103 in 1926, 99 in 1925. 114 in 1924. 106 in 1923, 127 in 1922 and 144 in 192l~indlcatlng that while pro- gress has been made in reducing the death rate prevailing ten years ago. there is still much to be done in the way of improvement. An analysis o: the present tuberculosis records for the Province. classiﬁed according to age and diagrioss, shows a total of 237 tuberculous cases.

Editorial Notes

The whole nation, will approve the thoughtful act of the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett in placing a bronze bust of Sir John A. Macdonald in Earns- cliffe, the official residence of Sh- William Clark, British High Com- missioner in Canada. This residence was formerly the home of Canada's first Prime Minister. The bust is the work of a I-Irzttsh sculptor. William Reynolds-Stephens.

Notes by the Way

Dean Inge in the Forum (New York) says: "Those who go nhoui abusing cur social system are doing

about the worst disservice to their country that any man could do. With all its deficiencies, the civilization oi‘ the twentieth century is the happimt and best for the average man and woman that the world has seen. And

ness to poison people's minds and stir up discontent everywhere until the temper of society becomes sour, embittered, despondent and quarrel- sonie. Our social arrangements are better for the poorer citizens than they have cver been before and they are on the way to become better still."

Massachusetts, says an exchange has acted wLsciy in compelling mot-I, orists to insure against injury toi persons. It is difficult to see why motorists should not also be required l0 protect ‘the public against proper- ty damage. The cost of this added feature would be relatively small. The great majority “of motor car drivers do net find it easy to pay the expenses of maintaining an auto. It is not done without some exercise of thrift in other directions. When a drivcr observes the law. uses duc caution and regards the safety of otheis it is not reasonable to leave the Fiiiiaticn so that he must piiy all- the damage when some reckless mot- orist crashes into him, even though no personal injury results.

Britain has not Inst her moral In- fluence in Eurcpe, as is once more shown by the decision of Germany and Austria to delay their plans for a customs union.

_ Afcr some years of trial the New York State Legislature has decided to modify the Baumcs law by which a criminal, upon his fourth con- viction for felony, was, ipso facto, condemmed to prison for life, with- out the possibility of reprieve or parole. The theory upon which the Baumes law was originally based was that the fourth offender was an in- corrigible criminal and that to re- lease him again was to unchain an implacable enemy of society. It may well bethat those who so argue are right; certainly therc bass in and out of our prisons plenty of crimin- als who, for whatever cause, are a menace to any community where they may happen to be. Eventually some method other than that of in- carceration may be discovered or evolved for dealing with this class; in the meantime confinement away from the rest of the world sesiris the only way of treating them.

Great Britain has up to now con- centrated upon quality, and acted on the assumption that there are al- ivays people who will buy iihe best article, even if it is expensive. This is a most, dangerous doctrine says UK Hﬂmkong Press at any time. and fatal in periods of depression. In 111986 days the only sound course is to find out what people want, and what they are prepared i0 pay.

The important part Canada has played at the Imperial Economic Conference and the contact estab- lished with France, Ireland, Austra- lia. and other Dominions, coupled with the prospects which the forth- ccming Ottawa Conference holds out for improved trade relations, ensure for Canada. in the early future an export trade of great magnitude says the Barbadocs Agricultural Reporter.

There never was a time in India's history says the Bombay Times when tho need for wise and forceful lcadership was so great as it is to- day. Standing on the threshold of responsible Government, India re- quires above all things unity, the de- Sife that her best men should take the lsad in directing affairs, and absolute loyalty from their support- crs. If the new Government is to be faced with attempts at coercion in its initial stages the result may very wcll be anarchy, and no one, surely not even Mr. Gandhi, desires that.

The latest liner under construction at lhe Clyde-bank shipways has a. burden of 70,000 tons. 'I'hree thous- and workmen will be engaged upon its structure. Ninety thousand pieces of cutlery and silverware have been contracted for as part of the equip- ment of a vessel which, besides pub- lic rooms, will contain more than

four hundred cabin beds, and in which the electricians will thread over a. hundred miles of wiring.

Things have gone very far in ship- building improvements time it was first gladly announced that the screw propeller had attained eleven knots per hour or the twin-screw steamer made the westward passage from Liverpool t0 Now Yofk in eight days. And the constfuction of a modern liner above mentioned which in size. equipment and luxurious furnishings is the equal of a capac- ious hotel, and by radio 1a kept in touch with landward events all through the vﬂmse is a notable aim of the times.

COMMITTEE FOR THE CONTROL OF RIIEUMATISM

Some years ago the medical pro- fesslon throughout the world attack- ed tuberculosis, and to-day tuber- culosis no longer heads the list ms a cause of death.

Similarly a few years ago, in Eng- land, Germany and the United States societies ivere organized to try and solve the problem of heart diseases which with diseases of the arteries, hardening of the arteries, heads the list as the cause of death.

And now in different countries we find organizations formed for the Control of Rheumatism.

Rheumatism as you know is one of the oldest of dseases known. Evid- ences of rheumatism have been dis- covered in skeletons of the earliest known mun.

Its ravages on the health of the community, the tremendous loss of time from the work o! its suffvcrs, the distressing crippling effects left in its wake have so aroused com-, munltics everywhere that whereas ten years ago there were only two or three clinics in North America study- ing rheumatism. to-day there arc clinics in nearly every medical cen- tre.

Now that infection from some part of the body-teeth. tonsils, intestine -was the active cause of rheuma- tism has been known for some years. but that this is not the whole story, is now ‘being recognized.

It has been definitely shown in thousands of cases that the removal of infected teeth and tonsils has cleared _up the rheumatism in from n few days to a few weeks. The cuics have been almost astounding. However it has been shown also that there are cases where the teeth are badly infected, tonsils badly broken down and pouring out pus, and yet these individuals have no rheumatism.

Why do tiicse people not ‘nave rheumatism?

Ralph Pemberton points out, that rheumatism-arthritis -— is really a disease of the entire system, not just. a disease of any particular part, such as a joint. That heredity enters Into

1 think if the Government wants to do the farmers a rear favor that they have the chance of their lives by having the winter roads in this province broken for double teams.

POTATO GROWERS ASSOCIATION

Slrz-I see that Mr. Horace Wriizh: wants to get the Act incorporating the Potato Growers Association a- mended so that every member of the Association will be liable for all the debts of the Association. I feel sure this is legislation that would be condemned by nine tenths of the members. Even Mr. Wright when questioned did not know whether the Directors wanted such legislation. A good way to find this out would be for the Legislature to refuse to con- sider the bill till the Directors ask for it by a. signed letter. There are nine Directors and if this legislation is really l ecessa y 1t is very easy for Mr. Boulter to call the Directors to- gether and get them to sign a pet- ition to the Legislature setting 1.11111 what they want. v

For years Mr. Boulter has told us at the Annual Meetings that the

the cause; that a certain type of in- dividual—the nervous type-As more subject to rheumatism than the fion- nervous type; that the circulation in some individuals is poor, and pre- vents propcr nourishment of the part; the blood vessels do not open as wide as they should.

It is when iln infection of some kind-death. tonsils and intestine~ attacks this type of individual that rheumatism so frequently follows. Eating too much bulky starchy food which distends the large intes- tine is a cause of rheumatism, rather than the eating of meat, has been shown by Dr. A. A. Fletcher, Toronto» Now that rheumatism is being studied so carefully, and the above points already discovered. there will likely be a better knowledge of this distressing ailment, and earlier and more efficient treatment.

Carlyle Letters

(Toronto Globe)

Many readers of The Globe ex. periericcd a mild thrill the other day on reading of the letters by Thomas Carlyle which were owned in Toron- to. Carlyles sister, Mrs. Banning- Janet, 0r "wee Janle"-lived in Hal- ton County, eight miles north of Oakville, some forty years ago, and received numerous letters from her distinguished brother, which later found their way into the possession of other relatives.

Carlyle was a literary figure who was seen almost at his best in his letters. Keats. Edward Fitzgerald. Charles Lamb and Robert Louis Stevenson were among others whose pon seemed gifted with magic when recording the thoughts intended for the eyes of their near and dear ones. Letters helped Tennyson to the ver- dict that "Keats was the vreatest of us all." While Keats regarded the world as a Dream-garden, Carlyle found it a battlefield where the fight, never lagging, is almost lost. He is a man in pain, but at times his heart overflows with tenderness. One of his letters to his mother, written just before her death, is an example o: his thought in this mood. He wrote in 1853:

"Dear old mother, wee-k and sick and near w me, while I live in God's creation, what a day has this been in my solitary thought; for, elwfii» B icw words to Jane. I have not spoil"! m My one, “or, indeed, hardly seen any one, it being dusk and dark be- fore I went out-a dim, silent Sab- bath day, the sky foggy, dark with damp, nndaunlversalatllleness the consequence. and it is this day WM fifty-eight years that. I was born. Ann my poor mother! Weill we are all in God's limos. Pireli’ God h

credit of the Association was so good it could borrow all the _monev it wanted. It now appears that H113 is no longer true, and we would like to know what has happened to change things. The members were always told they were incurring no ﬁnancial liability by joining the As- sociation. This is to be changed, and each one of us is to be made liable for all the debts and obligat- ions. Surely the Legislature will not pass such a bill without giving (he members a. chance to be heard for or against.

I think a special meeting of the members should be duly called tn consider this thing. At the very mast the Legislature should ask for a pct- ltion signed by the Directors ask- ing for it. And the petition should show why this legislation is wanted now when we got along for ten years without it. I would suggest that members of the Association write to Premier Lea and Hon. Mr. Stewart giving their views on the matter. I am afraid that if the proposed bill passes, it will be the death knell o! the Association.

I am sir, etc. A MEMBER

mother I had. 'I'hat is a truth which I know well, and perhaps this day again it may be some comfort to you.”

A letter to John Sterling in 1843 complained of the burden weighing upon him to write of Cromwelfs times, when "dead heroes buried un- der two centuries of atheism seem to whlmper pitfully, ‘Deliver us! Canst thou not deliver us?“ He secluded himself from the world:

"I see almost nobody. I avoid sight rather, and study to consume my own smoke. I wish among your buildings you would build me some small Prophet's chamber, fifteen feet square, with a separate garret and a flue for smoking, within a furlong of your big house, sréred from all noises oi dogs, cocks. pianofories. insipid men, engaging some dumb old woman to light a. fire for me daily and boil some kind of a kettle."

Jane Welsh Carlyle, his temper- amental wife, was a large factor 1n his moods, happy and uncertain, but Jane had her overﬂowing momenta, as when she wrote the espitle of distress on not. reoeivink I- MW!‘ from him on her birthday. The pootmistresa had missed deliverln! it, and hours later it was sent. Jane shut herself in her room in torment until the letter came. "I om as much broken m pieces by that little inci- dent u 1f I had come through m attack of cholera or Wbhus fever." she wrote.

Journal, and the Charlottetown Guardian have all indorsed wilih- out reservation the proposals put forward by the Board of Trade o! ‘Nova, seotiiva greatest collierv town. for the protection of the coal mining

industry through Federal legislation. The most recent and perhaps most‘ significant evidence 0f the ripened

vote, lndorsing the position of the Glace Bay Board of ‘Prado, and urg-

ing the Dominion Government to adopt. effective measures of assig- tance to the coal-steel industries.

The Free State

(Toronto Star) The progress of the Irish Free State is oi particular interest to Canada because its constitution was modeled closely upon that of the Do- minion, and of particular interest. to Ontario because in the Free state. as in thisprovince, a large hydro- electric enterprise is under way. It is gratifying to learn that not only this scheme, but the Free State as a whole. has had a favorable year. The Free State, in common with oth- er countries, has felt the effect of world-wide depression, but has suf- fered less than most. ' In the Commercial Intelligence Journal for March 14, John "H. Eng- lish, Canadian Trade Commissioner, has the following to say about the hydro project on the Shannon River: , "The Shannon hydro-electrificat- ion scheme, which came into oper- ation just over a year ago, has more than justified itself in the fourteen months of its operation, the rapidly increasing sales of electric current being at least a. year ahead of the most optimistic estimates. As a i-e- sult, it is likely that a further de-

velopment and enlargement of the scheme will take place in 1931, and it is understood that legislation will‘
