"Moreover, one heard no talk of the inevitability of ultimate absorption in the United States, which was common enough seven years ago. Recent events have cer- tainly made s vast difference 1n that respect." "I cannot help thinking,“ concludes this unbiased witness, “that Canada will come through its difficulties sooner than itsnefghbor to the south. There is no doubt that there has not been the astonishing loss of moral, which is being wit- nessed 1n the United states. Though it may seem an odd thing to say that the smaller country will come through better and quicker than the larger one, that, nevertheless, is the confident expectation of the people there, an expectation with which I find it very difficult to quarrel.”

It is ywlth this object in mind that the Charlottetown Sunshine Days have been organized, Attractive prizes are bclrig offered in competitions of var- lm; kinds, and parades and other public spectacles will enliven lirc proceedings, In which it is hoped a large numbcr from the rural colu- munitfes as well as the city will participate.

LOST OPPORTUNITIES

Severe criticism of United States policy is made in an article in the current issue of a prominent Ameri- can magazine. The writer, Mr. James ‘Ik-uslow Adams, says that by the acts of the United suites uic scr- iousness of the general world con- dition in i929 was accentuated. Bad speculation, sucking in the resources of Europe, combined with failure to play the role of international bankers, did much to bring about the second phase of the crisis. Money was poured out in unwise foreign loans, and then further credit was suddenly stopped. The hope of be- coming the world's bankers passed from New York, and Inndon recap- tured the position. The tariff was raised ecccessivoly, thus preventing payment in goods and making prac- vcn cancellation of the debts of Europe to the United states essen- tial to world recovery. Political leadership also passed to England. The claim of the United States to moral leadership has collapscd. This, says Mr. Adams, is shown by the character of the films exported from the United States, by the mis- govemrnent of New York and Chl- Cnnndn and the Aniipodcan do- Gaga by crime and lawlessness’ by

j BUILDING UP TRADE

’ IJi/Trmscd traffic between Canada and her sister dcminions, and the probability of very marked 1m: provemcnt 1n this trade under the stimulus of the Economic Confer- ence agrecmcnis, have brought about decision by the Canadian National Srcamsliils to rc-cstabFsh separate pcrvius to Australia and New Zea- Iand. Consequently the "Canadian Leader," which has stood at a Mon- treal wharf for 17 months because there was no business for her, is be- big reconditioned and will sail for New Zcaland this month,

This. notes the Ottawa. Journal, Is convincing evidence of a real growth in Empire trade. The treat- ies Canada signed with Australia and filcw Zealand some months ago have provided a solid foundation on which is being ercctcd an inter- change of goods of distinct benefit lo all pnrtics.

Boards of Education have been discussing the advisability or other- wise of the continuance of cadet training ln high schools and col- leglate institutes.

You arrive at this conclusion from thecorrespondenco which you see fit to publish, but you left out a very important fact which would give to every fair minded person u different complexion on the matter.

When your representative came to the City Hall the other doy to look at the correspondence, ho was told that six or seven weeks ago the City, through the City Clerk, had delivered to the Acting Premier cer- tain bills that the City had paid out for unemployment relief up to l certain period. When the bills were delivered by the City Clerk to the Acting Premier, he was told that they would be forwarded promptly to the Dominion Govern- ment for payment of its share. Thereupon the City Clerk requested the Acting Premier to give a che- que for the one-third which it was understood the Local. Government would contribute, but this the Act- ing Premier refused to do. If you wished to , ent to your readers anything like a fair statement from which they 0m draw tlic right 0on- clusion you should have made these facts known. This was a most

This month Sir Henry Fielding Dickens, son of the great novelist and England's "human" Judge, is retiring from the bench at the age of 83. The son won a. high repu- tation, and in his way carried on the work commenced by his illust- rious father. Of him it has been said: "The Common Serjeant ex- hibits all the great human qualities of his great father. The law in his hands is not the pedantic treatment of human feelings.” Fourteen years ago, Dickens‘ son was made Com- mon serjeant of the City of Lon- don, sitting 5t the famous Old llmlcy.

His icontention is that The Guardian suppressed an essential part of the corréspondcuce. detailed by him to the reporter. ‘This statement is not correct. The reporter first applied to the Acting City Clerk for all the correspondence in the case. He was referred to the Mayor.

Pipe Organ Degraded

(Winnipeg Tribune)

As music is the noblest of man's arts-the only realm in which Faust, the splint of the Nordic race. has attained absolute freedom of movement-so is the ppo organ the noblest instrument ever fashioned by human hands. There is forest musicin the heart of Nordic man and he spent centuries perfecting this marvellous contrlvance so that, his heart might pour out its awe. its love and worship and rapture as s. sort of incense rising from the magic forest into the. shining sky. To this marvellous instrument the Americans have attached bells, cuckoo whistles, tambourlnes, drums, castanets, fly-swatters-e weird and hideous assortment of junk, the total effect of which is to drill music away from the forest and into the cave, into the smelly, gilded, flat- roofed hovels of commas-claimed amusement. Movement is over, the search is ended; even the jazz is not experimental.

Canada’s Radio Future

(Manitoba Free Press)

The announcement by 1dr. Hec- tor Charlesworth, clmlrman-elect of Canada's Radio Broadcasting Com- mission, that the initial year of the Commission's vmrk would see very little attempted in the way of the setting up of new quipment, bromi- casting stations, and the like, willuot be a surprise to the Canadian pub- lic. ‘The primary reason for that is of course m economic one, but in any event there is I ltrong argu- ment in favor of organizing what might be termed the spirit of Can- adian Radio before launching in- ‘to big building prozrlms. In the

{bill which set up the Commission it

is definitely stated that "capital expel: i

must go ahead on its own steam:

that is, it must make good through

its programs.

The radio legislation makes pro-

for provincial selection of programs,

under the final word cf the federal

board. ‘There will be interprovinciol interests in each others programs and interprovincial profit, but the main intercst shared by Canadians as a whole will be in the Dominion- w.’de programs, that is, the coast to coast broadcasts. The excellent ser- vice given this last couple of years by the two railways and by the Im- perial Oil company leave no doubt whatever that such broadcasts can be of high standard and of mtranc- ing interest. The fine work of the Canadian Pacific raixiay in music and of the Canadian National n11- ways in drama, notably of great moment in Canadian history, gave this Dominion a demonstration both of what Canadians can do and of what a Dominion radio may achieve as u factor in tho growth of cul- tural nationalism

Mr. Charlesworth and his confrer- es have tho before them to give them courage and cheer. They also have before them the realization that radio oommuncatlon is of greater importance to Canada than to most countries.

diticn to the usual remedies-sul- phur, mercury, zinc and other drugs-tho roentgen or X rays, electrolysis, radium, ultra violet my: as , ‘uced by the mercury cooled lamp, were used according to the type of akin ailment to be treated. About one half of the total number of cases were given some form of the above treatments aside from: druau. '

From his own experience Dr. Parkhurst concludes that while the X ray! are probably the moot valu- able tingle method in treating skin ailments, too much reliance must not be placed on their use alone, and they must not be used too much. Ho recommends that other methods of treatment be used that may be of value, provided they are not too irritating. -

Sometimes a skin ailment will return 1n a short time after it has apparently been cured. This may be duo to some lack of care of the skin or the scalp, or may be due to some article in the diet. Some of our moat nutritious foods may not agree very well with the individual, Woods such as salt meats, fish foods, eggs, meat, raw fruits, white bread,

dim" and an expendmuu ‘hm be tomatoes and other excellent foods.

Dr. Parkhurst suggests that 1n- stead of immediately giving the x my treatments when the skin ail- ment returns, that the reason for its return be learned and the lack of care be corrected, or the offend- ing food or foods be left out of the daily diet.

What is called electrcdessication -—dryl_ng up the tissues by electric- ity-is recommended for growths of the skin such as warts, moles, scars from bums or wounds and other Zrowtbs. Electrolysis, the electric needle, was found to be the best method forvtha permanent removal of hair. Most skin specialists are of the same opinion as regards the per- manent removal of hair from the skin nlrface. The ultra violet rays were foulic helpful 1n the healing of certai: sluggish ulcers. ' The thought then is that in ok‘ Eltlblished skin ailments or blem- ishes, more than drugs should bl ‘tried; that certain precautions a.» to the care of skin and scalp arc necessary: that diet is an important factonsnd that these physical agents — electrolysis, electrodessi- cation, X rays, and ultra violet rays-are often of great help.
