WORLD CONFERENCE

It is now understood that the; World Economic and Monetary Conference cannot meet till next April and may even have to be postponed to a still later date. Some disappointment has been 6X- orcssed with the slow progress made by the preparatory commlttes which have been sct up at Geneva; but impatience at this stage can only be based on a false conception of the difllcultes which have to be cleared away before it is possible even to frame anagreed list of agenda. More harm than good would col-fie of holding the Conference before the participating Govern- ments have made up their minds what action is practicable and desirable.

The experts who have been work- ing in Geneva. have been concerned nxclusively with the object of freeing international trade and facilitating the working of inter- national finance. They seem, says the London Times, to have ignored i?!" dangers on the other side; to have fallcd ho realize that, pushed tc its logical extreme, economic intema- tionalism, can be no less danBBTOY-lfl than ocomonic nationalism, and that to treat the , world as one economic unit is not pnly impracticabie in present conditions but, in the case of many countries, would lead to the gravest poclal and political dslocations. Before the Confcrcncc can mcct to any advantage, each participating government will have w weigh all these considerations one against the other. They will have to frame policies which will avod so far B»! possible the extremes both of axoessivo nationalism and of ex- ccsivo lntcmationalism and help to restore world trade without sacrific- ing nat onal industries and national interests. And when that has been done they have further to consult with "he another and to determine what, questions it will be useful to discuss at the Conference with a view to concerted and definite lotion.

One‘ of the principal‘ subjects which it s hoped to discuss ls the possibility 0.’ establishing an inter- national standard of currency and af removing the exchange dlillzultles which now hamper irematicnai Ira-dc. It is hard to believe that anythng useful or permanent can be achieved 1n that way until the

settled: and the , tlntions with the United Stores, for which the |deawr countries uc now asking, m: Icertain to be as long as they are ‘dQI-flitc. In any case the success of any endeavor to bring the sterling ‘countries back to gold depends not only on the settlement of War ,Dcbis and Reparations, but a‘so as jail zhe British Governments skit-ed ‘at.

March 4. By that time the Disarm- ament Conference may have madea substantial contribution no the re- vival of trade by restoring confid- ence in the maintenance o.’ peace and by easing the burden which cxcessive armaments impose on the natona! Budgets. An Economic and Moneiay Conference meeting after thorough preparation, and after the way has been cfeared for it by success in settling the outstanding questions of Disarmament, Rcpara- tions, and War Debts, would yield infinitely greater results than could possibly be expected from a Confer- ence called together within the next few weeks, with those problems sill unsolved, with half the preparatory work undone, and with American participation renerded. lneffecitve by, the approaching change-over of authority in Washington.

SHOPPING TIME

Only five more shopping days sep

arate us from Christmas-a, fact which should be duly noted by those who still have (flirlstmas purchases to make. The best way to start out on one‘: shopping campaign is to mead carefully the advertisements in the daily newspaper. The fact of a. merchant advertising in the newspapers indicates that he has confidence in the value of his goods and in the prices he is charging. This year local merchants are offer-

ing bargains which should make an

exceptionally wide appeal. It should be remembered also that store clerks and postal officials are work- ing under pressure this Week and

that early mailing of packages is es-

sential if there is to be deliver)‘ in time for Christmas Day. Shopping dune in a hurry at the last minute often results in dissatisfaction at ‘inability to get. what is wanted and disappointment that something can- not be done. Now is the time to complete one‘s list of purchases, and have the worries of Chriflt-mlv! shopping over and done with before the last minute brigade gets on the streets andjanw the shops.

MR. KING IN ERROR

In an address last week at, Tor- onto, Mr, Mackenzie King, Federal Liberal leader, referring to the Co- operative Commonwealth Federa- tion, the new political organization in the west, said it was only under Conservative admnistrations that third pal-tics arii-ze and made head- way in Canada. This assertion, not/es an exchange, hardly jibes with the undeniable fact that during King's whole term of office he was ‘largely atthe mercy of gnups outside his own part-y.

man, of Philadelphia, insists that, the ierm eczema is simply a group of symptoms, and not a true dis- ease in itself. He says that Just as a physician never speaks of dyspep- sia any more, as the word means difficult digestion, without telling the variety or cause, so also should the word eczema not be used as being a special skin disease.

As the disease begins, progresses, for a while appears to get better, then becomes worse again, all sorts (redness of skin), vesicular (blis- (pus in the blisters), squamous (scales). As a matter of fact all those are but different stages of the

the only internal symptoms. The cause of eczema may be due to extcmal irritation, to depressing

scnsitiveness to certain foods, to tiny ‘organisms.

No single treatment is of help owing to the various causes of ec- zema. While searching for the cause the general rule is to use soothing preparations or creams containing zinlc or salicylic acid, at first, and 1r the condition becomes chronic to usc an irritating or stimulating preparation such as a weak solution of carbolic acid.

Suppose him safely past the stage at which he thinks it original to refer to Shy-locks unquotable re- mark about the instrument (the Venetian form of it, doubtless), or funny to quote Falstaff on the Lin- colnshire variety, he is still in dan- ger. Even if he remembers not to soy "Scotch? and knows that a, plbroch is not a bagpipc nor uny| part of a bagpipe, there are still all, sorts of mistakes that he can maker or can be held by some to have madaffor, if the truth must out, there are points in the history, art, and science of the bagpipe on which not even all Scots are agreed)—not to mention a risk of‘ drawing the Irish into the fray.

sary to draw a careful distinction between the applied art of handl- crafy, work, in which the controlling aesthetic factor is a free but loyal adherence go tradition, and the pure arts of painting, sculpture, poetzy and the like, in which a strong personal and original con- tributlon by the individual artist is essential. The an, of handicraft is a communal, not an individual, art, It, is very much like folksong, which seems to be the voice 0f a race rather than that of a man or woman. Failure to appreciate the value of tradition’ in handicraft was almost universal during the nine- teenth century, though the begin- nings of our present renewed ealiz- ation of it are to be found in Rus- kin and William Morris. Until very recently, however, respect for tra- dition was rather lamentably mixed up with a romantic love for the merely antique, which is quite I different thing. A chair made in the seventeenth century isobylmlily better as an antiquq than one made last nwnth: but as a handicraft work the latter may be superior, if it is a better expression of n llv-lng tradition inherited and felt and ca-‘ricd 0n and improved by the handlcrwftsman of ‘oday. A broader and deeper understanding of this truth, and of the aesthetic values that result from it, is needed both among handicraft workers and a- mong thosc who patronize them, and the week's propaganda by the Handicrafts Association should do good in both directions.
