Raymond Poincare served his country well. He was. like Clem- enceau, like Briand. like Barthou and Doilmertlle. one of the few great French politicians of our time, who can be compared to the W888i K1088 and the most trusty ministers of the pro-revolutionary history of hence. His family was traditionally Republican. He was taught at an early age the value of rmdera-tion in Judgment, clarity of thought and the sense oi reality which makes for constructive minds. Mcthodicsl as ha was, Poincare could have had great success in op- position. None of the inevitable fail- ures would have missed his crit- icism. But he despised that line of conduct and lirance was happy in finding hlrn wise, intelligent, exact and unswerving at a. time when national disaster threatened, when the middle clue was starnpeded by granola-l panic-Le Canada, Mon-

Igor Sikorsky, airplane designer, is a cheerful person. He told the federal aviation commission of the United States that flying boats now being developed could destroy New York City in a fen! minutes by dropping bombs at the rate of five or six a second, and enemy air- planes could destroy any American coast city if they could get within a thousand miles of the land. He said the only defence would be sim- ilnr ships to battle the enemy in mid-ocean. Another witness said he could, with present available equipment, fly from Tokio to New York in 48 hours, and if the Unit- ed States had a. war in the Orient

This entailed expense, and the money was provided by the Guardian through appeals to its readers. 8pc- cial trains, brass bands, concert parties-ail were resorted to in order to attain the objective, till at length conscription took the place oi voluntary service, and the Patriotic Society ceased to operate.

The Saar Valley situation is this. At the time of drafting the Ver- saillcs Treaty, France urged that as a guarantee that Germany would implement her treaty obligations the coal and iron section of the country known as the Rhinelsnd and the Palatinate should be held and occullied by Allied troops.

One of th emost painful conditions with whichrnan is afflicted is a stoneatthesntrancaofthetubc which carries the urine from the kidney to the bladder, or a atone that gets caught in this tube. These stones are called renal (kidney) or ureteral (twill) stones or calculi.

Operation for re- moval of these stones demands con- isiderablc Judgment and skill on the _ part of the surgeon. ~ ' The best treatment betwen these attacks of pain, or "colic" as it is called, is now receiving careful con- sideraticn by physicians as there has been a great increase in the number of cases in recent years.

Snowden In Canada

(Ottawa. Journal)

Cabled extracts from ths second volume of Viscount Snowdsnb Auto- biography, Just published in London, seemtcindicate surpriseonhispart that at the Imperial Conference of 1930 a Canadian should have been the dominating personality. Lord Snowden then was Mr. Philip Bnow- den, Chancellor d: the lbrchequer, no doubt he thought he was cap- iable of doing whatever directing needed to be done, and the vigor and determination shown by Mr. Ben- nett were disconcerting.

Roaders of the first volume of the Autobiography will he able to under- stand the Snowden viewpoint. Lord Snowden made a tour of Canada in 11914, of which he tells in that boit, and his opinion of this country was not yew favorable. He entered at Miontrcal, travelled as far ‘West as the Rockies, turned South than into the United Bbatcs. presently went to Vancouver to take a ship for New Zealand. At that time he had been a member of the British Parliament for years, he was an agg fig- ure in the British Socialist party, a man of wide reading, a student of public and economic affairs. And yet his observations on this D0- minion show that he had not the slightest conception of Canada's de- velopment and problems or of the Canadian character.

Of Montreal he has nothing to say; of ‘lbs-onto only that it had beautiful suburbs. He did not come to mtawa. The country frinn Tor- onto to Winnipeg he foimd "most monotonous and uninteresting." He approves of a sunset on the Great Lakes. Winnipeg he recalls as the place where he met some fellow- Yorkshiremen. He becomes quite enthusiastic over Lake Louise, but Vancouver was just a point on the

p. Lord Snowden mentions the "state legislatures" of Manitoba and Alberta. He was in Winnipeg during a provincial election campaign, and he offers this remark: "I hope things are better now, but the stories we were told all over Canada of the corruption of poli- tical and public life surpassed any- thing I have heard of the United States . . , In a new country the political machine is apt to get into the hands of men who have some axe of their own to grind." The press in Canada displeased him mightily, although persistently he lumps ‘ ‘L for ’ “ the news papers of Canada and the United States. Speaking of an incl- dent in Winnipeg he declares that "the experienced traveller in Ameri- ca never refuses the prsssmarvs rc- ouest for an interview. The inter- view will a/ppear in anv case, and it is likelv to be less ob‘ tionable if ha has treated the pressman with respect." And then he proceeds to nrove this absurd generality by cit- ing an experience of his own in the state of Oregon! Lord Snowden re- turned to England in J y, 1915, and he sans he was quite outofiouch with thincs because such information as he had been able to acquire had reached him "from garbled and un- reliable reports in the Dominion and American press." Snowden! mind obviously record- ed nothing but the most shallow and superficial impressions of his Can- adian tour. He never went below the surface. nor apparently did he snake any effort to study or understand this country. His annoyance must _ have been extreme. then. when this Domini s med tosend to hon- don a. Prime infer "of forceful ” “ mfvieormis spsechwith a definite policy." These are precisely the qualities on which ford Iinuw- den pridesfhimsalf. and inevitably the viewsofthe twowerenot al- wavs in accord.
