A Damning Indictment

When the Ontario Liberal Premier visited here in 1935, campaigning for the federal Lib- eral leader and party, he was acclaimed in the Liberal press as a statesman of great promise and ability. It was predicted he would go far.

l\1r. Hepburn has justified this prediction to such an extent that he has thrown the whole lllackenzie Ring Government into a state border- ing oii apoplexy. Two years ago he openly dissociated himself from the policies of his fed- eral leader, declaring that he was “no longer a Madcenrie King Libera ", and has since been out- spolccn in his criticism of the lack of initiative prevailing at Ottawa. _

llc has now gone so far as to declare, in 3 reply to the charge that he was “conspiring" against the King Government: “Why shouldn’t I, or anyone else with the welfare of the country in mind for that matter, take exception to the half-baked, impractical, unworkable theories which emanate from Ottawa?”

\Vliy not, indeed?

Again, says Mr. Hepburn: “I don't think there ever was a. government which was elected with greater promise and which has failed more dismall_v. Its attitude on all important policies has been one of drifting. Its ministers appear to'be living in another age and generation alto- gether. They have failed completely to realize

they should be dealt with."

Nothing smacking of “conspiracy"_ in_ that statement. It is out and out repudiation by Premier Hepbum of his federal party leaders.

Summing up, Mr. Hepburn finds that he “can no longer su port a party led by Mackenzie King, whose vernnient in a time when action on national issues was badly needed holds the worst record in this respect in the history of the Dominion."

This damning indictment comes with all the greater force from one who was not only a potent force in electing the King Government to power, but is Liberal leader and Premier of the Province of Ontario. Presumably he speaks for all his Liberal stipporters when he thus pub- licly castigates his incompetent party colleagues at Ottawa.

Horns Of The Dilemma

‘This from a recent issue of the Halifax Chronicle, (Liberal): “Central Canada does well in the federal parliament, which it domin- ates by maintaining a national policy which con- sistently works to the benefit of the central areas. That national policy strangle: the eco- nomic life of the Maritime: by increasing the coat in the Atlantic provinces and defeating piti- ful efforts to meet these costs.”

If this be the case, who is responsible? Ob- viouoly the Mackenie King Government, elect- ed Iiore then three years ago on a pledge to leg- islate fairly and impartially in the interests of all sections of Canada. The “dominance" of Cen- trel Canada. in the federal parliament can only be attributed to the weakness and incompetency of die Government, whose large parliamentary majority should enable it to put through any yneasiire it has the courage to introduce.

And if our Halifax contemporary is correct. what becomes of the charge that the Premiers of the Central Provinces are “ganging up" in a conapiracy to oust Mr. Mackenzie King for the » urpose of dominating the federal parliament? BVhy should they go to the trouble -of “conspir- ing" to achieve something already in effect? It is surely the height of absurdity for a Federal Government which has permitted the Central Provinces to “domihate" its policies, to pose u the champion of the other provinces whose in- terests it has ignored or to appeal on that ground for support against the devastating attacks of Mr. Hepburn. ._

!'One Touch Of Nature

An entertaining article is contributed by Fred H. Phillips to the current issue of The Maritime Advocate and Busy East on the history of circus visitations to the Maritime Provinces. The sub- ject matter isione worthy, in Sir Philip Sidney’: words, of holding “children from play, and old men from the cliimney-corner." Since earliest times, we are told, the leading showmen of Am- erica liave brought their offerings up to the land of jack Canuck; and as far back as the 4o’s, pioneers from that cradle of circuses in Putnam and Wcstcliester Counties, New York State, were threading their uncertain ways over the mud roads‘of New. England and oh into the Eastern Provinces. The earliest show of which there is record in the Maritime Provinces is the Burgess 8: Dexter Menagerie, which appeared in New Brunswick in i836. From then on, the re- cord of circus visitations is pretty continuous.

Some colourful incidents are related by Mr. Phillips, in whose account, however, there is a

lip between the years i844 to 1869 which we s ould like to seefilled in,‘if only to satisfy our curiosity as to the name of the circus whose visit in Charlottetowncoihcided entertainingly with the gathering here of the Confederation Fathers. _Ij..'_1‘_he incident referred to is related in Prof. illiam Measles Whltelawb "The Maritime: ndvfianada Before Confederation”, from which we’ learn that the Nova Scotia delegation reach- fiig Charlottetown on the Heather Ball on the af- ternoon of Aug. 3i, i864, "were not officially

Human nature, it would seem, was pretty much the same then as it is now.

A Liberal Tribute

The Globe and Mail (Independent Liberal) says of Coolnel George A. Drew, newly chosen Conservative leader in Ontario, that he has won “confidence and admiration" by his personality, honesty and conviction, strength of character and fighting qualities. It says of the convention which elected him that “the ultimate unanimity of the delegates, and their general satisfaction with results leave no room for rancour. For the first time since the last convention the Conser- vative Party in Ontario is in a favourable fight- ing position. Unquestionably it looks forward with confidence to defeating the Hepburn Gov- ernment, which, all things considered, has given comparatively good administration.”

The Globe and Mail took a prominent part in re-electing the Hepburn government, a fact “which, all things considered,” makes the above comment doubly interesting_

The New Brunswick Department of Agricul- ture will purchase 1,000 bushels of Coronation seed wheat for resale to farmers of that province. The measure was made necessary by the poor wheat crop this year and the fact that none of the home grown product would have been avail- able for seed. The action will mean the intro- duction of Coronation wheat into New Bruns- wick for the first time. The variety is highly resistant to leaf and stem rust and the expecta- tion is that its introduction will prove a benefit to local growers, since loss from rust in recent years has been high. ii- e w

Earl Baldwin gave a dinner in honour of the King at his residence in Eaton Square recently and invited to meet His Majesty the leaders of the Labour Party, vir. Messrs. Arthur Green- wood, Clement Attlee, A. V. Alexander, Tom Williams, Fred Marshall and James Chuter Ede. All wore dinner jackets-informal dress in Eng- land. sThe only explanation offered was that Lord Baldwin arranged the dinner to give His Majesty a chance to meet some of the Loyal Op- position in the House of Commons. Alas, Mr. Justice Saunders, Premier Campbell's predecessor, will be unable to render a. like service here for the LoyaLOppositipn in tthe legislature.

onto, commander of the Mackenzie-Papirieau Battalion in Spain states there is no immediate prospect of evacuating 28o Canadians who have been fighting for the Spanish Government as members of the International Brigade, now dis- banded. Major Smith in an interview in Bar- celona. said he had been advised the Canadian Government had notified the British Consul it could not pay the expense of transporting the men home. This, however, would be unnneces- sary since the Spanish Government is paying evacuation expenses in addition to a cash bonus to each volunteer. A majority of the men had

to go, Major Smith said, adding they were still hopeful and awaiting ‘fugthe: instructions.

New Zealaniib socialist government has begun a defensive fight for its New Deal with an increase of l0'per cent in the rates on State-owned railroads, effective Dec. 1r. The railroads have been in the red for the past two years, feeling the strain of wage restoration and the application of the short working week. Fig- ures forthe fist six months of this year show- ed that expenditures were rising twiceas fast as income. Up to October the roads hadincur- red a loss of $400,000, against a profit of $750,- ooo in the same period of i937. Lin: month Prime Minister Joseph M.

1n speaking of exercise ln the “treatment of chronic (not: recent) heartland bloodvessel disease, Dr. Louie miigeres Bishop, Jin, New York. in Archives of Physical 'I‘lie- ropy. Xray, Radium. states that with bed patients. massage, breath- lng exerc ses, and -‘reslstlve' exer- cises are beneficial ln that they help to force the used blood ln the velns back to the heart. What ls know as the Oertel method of exercise consists of graded walks carried out until the ptilitlent begins to feel the effects of e exercise by very rapid breath- ing. Beginning on the level, the walks are increased gmduullv with regard to distance and incline or steepness. The fact that flhls ex- erclslng gets the patient outdoors helps the mental as well as the phvslclal condition. For less severe cases. where the patient ls up and about most of the time, Dr. Bishop suggests that as It ls difficult to know exactly how much exercLse the patient. can take safelv. he should be allowed to tell how his everyday mariner of llfe affects him. By learning how much walking or working and how much resting‘ effects the patient the physician can get a falr ldea of the strength of the heart and how much work lt can do safely.
