‘ A TIMELY SUGGESTION

A pertinent suggestion is oflered. by The Montreal Gazette in com- menting on the provincial election results. we quote: - -

“Mr. Lea. is an experienced ad- ministrator, having served in a pre- vious government as Minister oi Agriculture and for a short time subsequently as ‘Prune Minister; and today, after the exuberance of Tuesday's political triumph has passed. no doubt he wishes that his party's victory had not. been so' pre- ponderant as Tuesday night's count- ing oi votes revealed. The result of the election, while placing upon his shoulders a heavy responsibility, confronts the Premier-elect with what may be termed, in the circum- stances, a crowded opportunity; and the success of his administration will depend not only upon the talent and tact with which he handles the immediate situation, but also upon his ability and daring to make other opportunities» as he goes along. Ofic"opp6rtlm'ity very pertinent to what local Liberals have affirmed to be the party's con- sidered policy may appeal to Ml

‘ Lea. before he has been long in of- ficc. It will arise from these facts: With one-fifth the population of Nova Scotta, the Province of Prince Edward Island has just as many legislators as her neighbor. Time after time the independent thought that evidently has now expressed itself all on the Liberal side has forwarded petitions to the Gov- ernment praying the authorities to pass legislation that will reduce the membe ship of the Legislature by fifty per cent. Were the new Government that Prince Edward Island soon will see in ofiice to ful- fil a Popular desire in this direc- tion-a desire that hitherto has been expressed in vain-it would give striking and convincing proof of the earnestness and sincerity of the Hon. Mr. Lea and his party in making retrenchment and rigid economy the first plank of a Lib- eral govemments administrative platform."

The Gazette's suggestion should at least appeal to the Liiberal dep- uty leader, Mr. Thane Campbell. inasmuch as it was embodied in a resolution passed by his own con- stituents at the convention at which he was nomianted.

It is also the opinion held and expressed by the president of the Charlottetown Liberal Association, Dr. 1. J. Yeo. Speaking at the Iris meeting, Dr. Yeo is "reported in the Patriot as having stated; “Ocst of government we believe was too high in every province, and he hoped that the Liberals would lead the way and cut the membership of the Provincial House in two. electing fifteen members instead of thirtih"

charges. The out- come is that mortgage funds are now available at 5 per cent. and 5 1-2 per cent. and that money is obtajnable‘ for commercial purp:ses at considerably reduced rates. The purpose of the administration has been to promote Canada's recovery from the depression, which is well under way. League of Nations’ stat- istics demonstrate that this Dom- inion has led the world in the rap- idity of its climb out oi a six-year- old world depression.

EDITORIAL NOTES

It will probably take the usual three weeks for the MacMillan Government to hand over the reins to the coming Dictator.

By the end oi this week we should know definitely the date oi the Federal election, which, generally, is believed to be Monday, Sep- tember 23.

It is with unfeigned regret that we learn that the state o! health of Hon. W. M. Lea necessitates his undergong further specialist treat- ment.

The gubernatorial visit was an outstanding success, ‘thanks large- ly to the generous hospitality of the Lieutenant Governor and Mrs. DeBlofs and the kind co-operation of the Clerk of the Weather.

The past five years of Federal Government have been the most strenuous and worrying since Con- federation; and we are not .yct out of the wood. The prospect is that the next five years will be equally, if not more, lmrassing and formidable, requiring a sure and steady hand and head at the helm.

The Canadian press generally is now beginning to realizorthat the success‘ui campaign oi misrepre- sentation o; the Lea. party connotes dictatorship, the abolition oi the Parliamentary system and civil and religious freedom generally. Hitler first obtained parliamentary power constitutionally by gross misrepre- sentations, false promises, and a soap-box demography. Then he abolished the freedom oi the press, curtailed the liberty of both Cath- olic and Protestant churches, im- prisoned political ,,_one'nts and finally suspended parliamentary government and declared himself dictator, which he still remains. Every Editor in Canada. todaylwith vision realizes what Mr. Lee's so- called victory foleshadows for Can- ada-and dreads it.

It is interesting and instructive to recall that one oi Hitler's main planks in his political platform in seeking election to power, was "a balanced budget." And how did he accomplish this in his first fiscal year? Exactly as Mr. Lea now plo- poses to do here, by book-keeping manipulations. He reduced the ex- penditure from 8,300,000,000 marks to 7,000,000,000 marks, but he did so by including as revenue, 1000,- 000.000 payable to the states and municipalities, - and by reducing the amount set aside icr debt re- duction from 430.000.000.000 to 100,- 000,000 marks. .He "balanced his budget in much the same way as the Lea Party propose to do, by in- creasing the public debt.

In a recent hone of the Interim Magazine, Kenneth Collins, a noted advertiairlz man. who is Assistant to the President o1’ Gimbol Broth- ers New York. has an article on Courage in Advertsing, and he brings out the fact that those who have attempted the daring during this depression of ours, have won out magnificently. Yet ll,‘ ggyg that only a very few have attempt- ed to do the daring at this time. The others have simply stood still or didn't know what to do. "Adver- tising," he says, "the normal mot- zve in business, has become all clogged up with doubts and fears." Mr. Collins decries the Micawber idea oi waiting “for something to turn up."

Naturally the sentiment on the continent is that the Ethiopians will trim the pants of! the Italians if Mussolini inssts on precipitating such a war. The odds are assured- ly against the blacks but Italy has not been so hot either, as her per- formancc in the Great War will show Only the circumstance that the Germans were on their last legs when they essayed that final as- sault against the southern front, saved the Italians from a devas- tating collapze. Unfortunately the memory of that debacle has faded from the Italian memory too soon. —Woo:istock Sentinel Review.

The P. E. I. Elections

(The Ottawa. Journal)

About the only thing Conserva- tives oan say about what happened on Tuesday in the “Garden of the Gulf" is that this isn't the first time people have gone wrong in a garden. Moreover, we confess quite frankly that we haven't the aintest notion of what particular thinks brought on this particular frailty, and so unanimously. What with keeping an eye on Ethiopia and Mussolini, the while bothered some- whgt by our politicians up here. we havent had a minute for Prince Edward Island, don't know whether its great contention was over pro- hibition or potatoes. or lust (as often happens) over ordinary per- sonalities. . . .

The "Handwriting on the wall"? Well, perhaps: but there's so much handwriting on the wall these days, and so rnuch of it just plain crazy, more oi it doesn't matter. People, or a lot oi people. seem to have 50¢ into the mood that everything that is wrong, labor under the profound and pathetic delusion that govern- ments can and should set every- thing right.

There's no rhyme nor reason to the thing. Time was when most of us tried to take our troubles brave- ly, and to remedy them ourselves, hoped for better luck next time. ‘Today we've got to the stage where if a man gets a bunion on his toe he expects a State doctor to come round and remove it for him, with the bill charged up to the tax- payers. Governments must be everything, do everything, pay for everything; must be ornnipotcnt and omniscient, all-wise and infal- lible; must cuddle and coddlc us all in the vast blanket of its pater- nalism; see that we're cozy and comfortable from the cradle to the grave.

Truly, these are strange times. They sec democracy stretched into a paternalistic socialism which too often weakens those it attempts to benefit.

So far as Prince Edward Island is concerned, we doubt much whe- ther its people are less well off to- day than they wero twenty or fifty years ago. We imagine they have more of creature comforts; more of good roads and well-kept farms,- more oi modern machinery and improvements to lessen toil-on their farms: more of all the inventions and things which make life more enjoyable. Yet they are less con- tented.

Twenty or fifty years ago lhev knew little of government. They raised potatoes and seed grain anli good horses. and if things went badly, or crop failures came, they locked upon it as their bad for- tune, or as a temporary oversight of Providence, hoped or felt that the next year things would be bet- ter. That the thing to do was to rise in revolt and blame and de- stroy solne Government, feeling that some other Govamment would right everything for them, never entered their thoughts,

It is different today. Under that State paternalism which feeds up- on itself, which causes men to look more and more to givernments, the people of Prince Edward Island, like the people everyhewerc else, “D9015 everything from govcm- ments. blame governments when everything doesn't come.

USING EXTREME HEAT 1N TREATING MENTAL CASES

You have likely read about the "malaria" cure for that type of men- tal patient who has also paralysis. The patient was inoculated with the malaria organisms and the heat or fever of the malaria caused so much improvement in some cases that after the malaria was cured by quinine they were able to return to family and business. In other cases no improvement was noted.

It was felt that lt was the extrema fever caused by the malaria rather than the malaria itself that brought about the improvement.

Recently another form of heat- lhe drug known as dirlitrophenoi - has been used in another typo of mental ailment, that is dementia praccox, where the individual is iu a "perpetual dream state". l-Ie pre- fers to be in a "dream" rather than face the realities of life.

Drs. I. Finkclman and W. Mary Stpphens, in the Journal of Iathc- logy. London, record their exper- ience in treating 12 female cases of dementia praccox of the “depress- ive" type whcse ages ran from 10 to 63 years and their weights from 135 to 107 pounds-the heavy or over- weight cases. All but two of the cases had been in the institution from two to twenqr-four years. Only one of the patients showed any de- sire at first io co-operate with the physicians in an endeavor to obtain help for themselves, but as their condition improved under the use of dinitrophcnol they began to show interest and willingness to co-oper- ate.

No change was made in their diet while taking the dinitrophpenol.

The average loss of weight was 1% pounds per week and treatment was continued for 30 days in some cases and 60 in others.

The rate at which the body pro- cesses worked under the influence of the dinitrophenoi was about 40 per cent above normal. Two of the 00-595. when: the excess fat was due to the urlderaction of the pituitary underaction of the thyroid gland in gland in “l5 skull and not to iho the neck, did not respond to the action of dinitrophenol. That is these two patients did not lose any weight or use up extra oxygen as did the other cases.

Five patients improved mentally under the treatment.

Thus we see again that the “fev- er" or heat that accompanies an ill- ness is really beneficial if it remains at, or can be kept within, safe limits.

ers—ali look to the State. To some government. And if the State or some government be unequal to the task, ii government by hand- out fails down, then the multitude rises in revolt, and a government goes down.

We hate to end on a note of gloom; more especially as we began with a garden. But the truth seems to be that just so long as we go on with this policy of paternalism, of leaching people that the State has 9- 011"? 1'01‘ ills, that it is a Great Physician for all their troubles

with some magic wand that prq- duces gold for everybody who needs it, this unrest will abide with us. T710 thin! is Just human nature.
