ious in Canada than in the United States, this suggestion might be W9“ worth the consideration of Canadian business men.

The suggestion raises the question of why more market and chemical research has not been done on behalf of Canadian wheat. The research that has been done has been largely in the direction of improving the "M-lrquis" and "Garnet" varieties are two outstanding Te- sults of this type of research. There

A Serious Charge

Speaking in the Draft Address de- bate, Premier Lea commended the Bennett Government for having lm- plemented its promise with regard to the unemployment grant to this Pro- vince. The Government, he said, had dealt “fairly" by Prince Edward Is- land.

As our readers are aware, the Lea Government had the handling of this money. Did they act as "fairly" in

expending it as the Bennett Govern- ment did in handing it over for un- employment relief in the Province? Evidently, Mr. A. E. MacLean. M.P.. does not think so. Speaking in the House of Commons on April l7, Mr. MacLean is reported in Hansard as saying:

"No WOTlf of any importance was carried on!" This statement from the solitary Liberal member for this Province in the House of Commons is a significant comment upon the following paragraph in the Speech from the Throne, put into the mouth of His Honour the Lieutenant Gov- ernor at the opening of the present session of the Legislature:

“To alleviate unemployment my Government. in common with the other Provinces, shared in thc ad-

- vantages of the Federal Relief Act.

Legislation will be introduced to

ratify the action of the Govern ment in this regard."

And also to the following state- ment in the Speech from the Throne, which deals with a particular scheme carried out by the Lea Government with the assistance of the Unemploy- ment Fund:

“The Department of Public Works last year carried out the experiment of constructing a mile of sand asphalt pavement, and it is the intention to further pursue this policy of hard surfacing our highways to an extent consistent with the revenues of the Province."

Altogether, a sum of over $90,000 was granted by the Bennett Govern- ment for unemployment relief in this Province. If the work carried on with the assistance of this money was not of any importance, as Mr. MacLean states so emphatically, it is surely a serious matter to the elect- ors. After doing all in its power to discredit Premier Bennett's policies in the last federal election; after contending, through its mouthpiece the Patriot, that there was no unem- ployment in this Province and that we would get no share of the unem- ployment grant, the least the Lea Government could have done was to make proper use of the moneys which it received so generously from the Bennett Government. If there is anything in Mr. MacLearvs state-

‘ ‘ment, it is evident that the Lea Gov-

ernment failed in its duty ln this re- gard. Ancl since the charm. is made by the Liberal representative n rar- liament, it cannot, surely, be dis- missed as political criticism!

Hero, we submit, it‘ a splendid op- portunity for the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee to show that Mr. MacLean ls all wrong and

that the $90,000 received from Ot- tawa was not wasted, as he alleges.

Another spccialmeeting of the Lib- eral members of the Committee might bc held; evidence might be taken for publication ln the Patriot and later for distribution surreptiti- ously ln the various constituencies, denouncing the “gross exaggeration" of the Prince County federal repre- sentative and hinting darkly at what "they would do in the Southern States" to a politician who would dare to make such an insinuation against his erstwhile friends and col- leagues.

A Laboratory For Wheat

Won't some millionaire endow a research laboratory for wheat ‘I This is the suggestion made in an editor- hl in Printers’ Ink of New York. With the wheat situation more aer-

the juice of the grape, or with bar- ley malt, or with some other fruit. grain or animal product. Possibly wheat might be crossed with some other grain. to form a. new product that would have great market pos- sibilities, Wheat is not merely a grain or a food product. It is composed of a. number of chemical elements that might be combined with other chem- icals to provide a wide variety of new uses for wheat entirely distinct from its use as a food product.

Ideas that seem fantastic often prove feasible. Think of the once des- pised coal tar. which is now used to

and various medicinal preparatioru. And who would have thought that wood fibres would produce the beau- tiful rayon fabrics ?

‘The automotive industry, the steel industry, the chemical and dye in- dustry, the electrical manufacturing industry. and other industries on this continent spend millions in research to discover new products. ways to improve old products and new uses for them. Why, it is asked. shouldn't millions be devoted to wheat rc- search? ,

Perhaps a non-political group of business men might get together and take this matter up with the Do- minion Government, or themselves organize a National Wheat Research Laboratory‘ to be endowed by pat- riotic suhscription. In view of the present world-wide conditions in the wheat market, any new outlet for this cut modity would be worth many times 21h- cost of exalrlmentation and ve-svarch.

Fiscal Reform In Britain

It is reported that the British La- bor Government has asked the Gov- ernment of France for a reduction of 25 per cent. in the French customs duties on rive hundred speciﬁed ar- tlcles. Being a free trade country and having, therefore, little or noth- ing to offer in return for concessions by France, the net rmults of this overture are likely to be negligible. The French are very keen business people-the last in the world to give something for nothing. In comment- ing upon this news, a Paris corres- pondent says that the British Labor Government “is obviously making a kind of last-stand tight for tariff re- ductions before it ﬁnds itself com- pelled to adopt protection on which the cabinet is known to be divided with opinion hardening in favor of protective measures for British in- dustry." A great proportion of the rank and file Laborltes are convert- ed to the necessity of tariff legisla- tion in their own interests. Mr. Philip Snowden, immovable free trader.

In the first case mentioned above, the resistance oi the patient to the organisms wasso strong that the or- ganisms could notget a ﬁrm hold on the system and werememoved from the body bythe circulation of the blood in a very short. time.

In the seconcLcase, the organisms got a somewhatﬁrmer hold. and re- mained in the. . intestine for some months, from whence they kept up a certain amounifof trouble or stiff- ncss in the. joints. Gradually they were removed from the intestine or other parts by. the circulation of’ the blood whichhas perhaps been aided by heat and exercise.

In the third case . the organisms have caused a deposit of mineral salts about the joint which may im- prison the organisms. or the deposit naturally interferes with the smooth working of the joint and causes pain.

Naturally the treatment in all rheumatic conditions after the-in- flammation has gone and the tem- I perature is normal is the use of heat 'in all forms to increase the circula- tion.

Heating-the joint with hot water bags, or baking, then moving the joint gently, and then using heat again, is the safe method of getting rid of the stiffness in the joint.

De Profundis

(New Statesman and Nation)

On the eleventh of June, 1930, Dr. William Beebe and Mr. Otis Barton descended to a depth of 1,426 feet, a little over a quarter of a mile, in the open waters of tho Atlantic off Bermuda. The descent was made in a spherical diving chamber of steel, with windows of fused quartz three inches thick. As Dr. Beebe has point- ed out in the first official publica- tion dealing with this unprecedented feat, Volume XXXIIL. No. 6 of the Bulletin of the New York Ecological Society, it was carried out with no thought of merely beating a record, but for a definite scientific purpose.

It was the belief of the early nat- uralists that the great depths of the ocean were without life. They failed to see how any creature could exist under conditions of total and per- petual darkncss, and where the tem- perature was but little above freezing point and the pressure almost in- conceivable. The pressure of the wat- er increases by one atmosphere. four- teen pounds to the square inch, ev- ery thirty feet, so that the pressure at a. depth of three thousand fath- oms is some three tons per square inch!
