The Hepburn Record

Q! local contemporary is as busy digging up criticism about Premier Hepburn these days as it formerly was in applauding him. One vulnerable point in the Hepburn record it has so far failed to bring put. This is the disregard Mr. Hepburn has shown for the rights of the public to free access to the courts. \Ve quote from an Ottawa exchange on this important mat- ter:

“No greater lnjury can be done to our dem- ocracy, to the right of the common people, to the cause of justice between man and man, to the cause of justice between the private citizen and the politician temporarily endowed with power, than to block access to the courts of jus- tice. That has been one crime of Premier He‘ - burn. He did not like power contracts made by the Ontario Hydro Commission before he came into power; he broke the contracts, then used ‘ the power of his Government to prevent appeal to the courts. Some of these contracts have had to be renewed since at little less than the original figures; but tile real issue is not the contracts, but the attempt to prevent appeal to the courts." i

The Hepburn and the Campbell Governments, seem to be tarred with the ‘same brush in this matter.

i ls This The Explanation?

Perhaps the best explanation of Premier Hep- bum’s attitude toward the King Government lies in the fact that he is an astute politician. For months he has been sounding out public opinion in his province and has discovered that by and large the people have lost confidence in the Fed- cral Liberal Government. Looking ahead, Mr. Hepburn sees Mackenzie King swept out of of- fice for his do-nothing record. And so, being neither Liberal nor Conservative‘ at heart but just a. political opportunist, Mr. Hepburn will not support Mackenzie King and his party.‘ He does not intend to lose cast with his own fol-_ lowing by favoring a cause the public is con- demning. Whether it be Grit or Tory is beside the point, for Mr. Hepburn is going to be on the winning side. He sees the handwriting on the wall.

The Nazi Super-Man

The Berlin correspondent of the Hamilton

Spectator tells the [following story of the Nazi ' dictator:

The Fuehrer has an intense dislike for middle- aged and old women. The women he likes to as- sociate with are all quite young and in practical- ly every case associated in some way with one or other of the arts, the theatre, the films or the operatic stage. For some time Dr, Goebbels and Marshal Goering have been looking round for a suitable wife for their leader. Originally their choice fell on lovely Renate Muller. So Goer- in’: wife Magda invited Renate to a party at her house at which the Fuchrer was to be present. By skilful handling Renate was eventually left alone with Hitler, much to the chancellor’s em- barrassment. For a time he stood in front of the beautiful actress, saying scarcely anything. Then, to her amazement, he suddenly lifted l‘llS arm in the Nazi salute, saying:

“I am the only man in Germany who can make the Nazi salute for two hours without lowering my arm."

He then swung round on his heel and marched out of the room, leaving Fraulein Muller dumb-

founded.

Recently the British Government announced that Londoners would receive ample warnings of an air raid by the simultaneous blowing of in-, numerable sirens. To prove this the authorities‘ decided to give a false alarm. Although Lon- doners welcomed this as an evidence that the Government was getting on with its air raid prc- cautions, the results were not satisfactory. The sirens were not heard at all in Regent street, Piccadilly Circus, and other west end centres. Officials blamed the noise of traffic and in- dicated that additional sirens would bc installed in the neighborhood. . 1r m n: s .Bermuda, sutoléss Eden, has entered a pro- test against the Anglo-American Trade Treaty, because it has been included among the “non- self-goveming colonies.” The proposed ines- sage of protest to the Governor stressesi that Bermuda has had her own parliament and has controlled her own affairs for more than 300 years, her Assembly ranking in age next to the British House of Commons. The Governor is requested “to bring this matter to the attention of the proper authorities in order that such amendment may be made to the Anglo-United States trade agreement as may appear desirable." * s a n:

October imports of fertilizers were somewhat higher, amountin in value to $981,778 in com- parison with $3 4,693 in the previous month and $602,347 in the corresponding month last year. The amount from the United States to- talled $527,764, Belgium $118,753, Germany $116,000, France $102,105, Chile $61,126 and Norway $52,740. Exports‘ of fertilizers during the month aggregated $365,028 compared with $265,227 in September and $413,017 in October I937. The amount to the United States was $268,049, consisting mainly of cyanamid, am- monium sulphate and tankage.

Mexico and Germany have been going in for banter on a big scale, and a moment's thought will show why this should be so. Both govern- ments are in the happy position of having goods for sale that cost them very little or nothing at all. In the latest deal, involving $17,000,000 worth of Mexican oil for miscellaneous German supplies, the oil is from expropriated American

ported machinery and merchandise mn be msily financed with the Aryanized p- ssessions of the Jews. In both countries it is a type of produc- tion cost and overhead with which no third party can hope to compete. 4- * n v Do curses come home to roost or are they ef- fective? A case in point. At Estcourt, Natal, Mr. Justice T. B. Horwood in the native high

“witch doctor” accused of mudering an Indian and using parts of the corpse for “medicine". The Judlge convicted the accused on the evidence, warned the Zulus in court against patronizing such “witch doctors" and then asked the con- demned man if he desired to say anything before sentence was passed. The old man muttered in his own language the curse that if the Judge sentenced him to hang he (the judge) would be dead before him. As he pronounced sentence Justice Horwood collapsed and died within twen- ty-four hours. ‘ v 4y n-

It might be advisable for western farmers to go on a “sit-down” strike to gain rightful rec- ognition of their industry, Mr. Nels Linden, Canada's new wheat king, declared recently. In- terviewed at his 830-acre farm 4o miles south of Edmonton, Mr. Linden said the only solution to the problem was some form of controlled production. The Swedish-born farmer finds, after years of toil, the only thing he has been able to make any money on is “pigs.” Other farm products cost more to produce than they pay in return. As a grower of prize wheat, oats. and barley he has gained honor, and as he puts it "a few medals that you couldn’t get 5o cents for if you sold them as bullion." Mr. Lin- den, who won the Dominion Wheat Crown at the Toronto ~Royal Winter Fair, believes the position of the agriculturist could be improved by decreased production. “Under present con- ditions,” he said, “it doesn't pay to produce good cereal grains and many other farm products. The price received does not cover the cost of pro- duction." A firm believer in a co-operative sys- tem, he thinks that the big difficulty with farm- ers is that “they don't stick together.”

Here ls a. good one about Tom Curran, business manager for the Chicago dlvlslon of the Unlbed Press. Every so often Tom comes to Canada. Frequently he buys a sult or overcoat. ‘Then, because he cannot put them ln his bag he sends his extra clothes home by mall. It so happened that a pub- llsher ln Peoria, Illlnols, was ool-

thought lt would be a good lrles. to get a. loln cloth like Gandhi's. So he asked Mr. Curran lf he could manage to secure one. Al- ways ready to oblige, Tom wrote to his office ln Bombay and then let". nature take its course. A little later Tom came to Canada and he mailed home a sult of clothes. 1h the meantime he had forgotten about the loln cloth. One day the customs people called Tom to tell hlm there was a parcel for- hlm at the office. He. asked them to open lt, saylng lt was just a sult of clothes. The customs men d they wanted a. witness to repres- ent Tom when the package was opened. So, an office boy was sent: down with Instructions to tell the customs men the creel couldn- ed a sult Tom h worn on his lost trip to Canada. Imagine the s rise of the office boy and the cus n men when they OPBFIM the parcel and discovered a Gandhi loln cloth from India.
