LIBERA L VUSHWOINT

Ignoring the anti-Imperial at- titude of Mr. Mackenzie King, the Toronto Globe, leading Liberal newspaper, conmic-nts aflpfmingly on the statement isu:d by H011. H. H. Stevens, Muster of Trade 1nd c“, eme, shuvfng that Can- dds‘; trade within the Emu-Are has taken on new life since the Ottawa umfgi-snoe was held. The pet-rd:- tsgcs recorded, notes the Globe, show that Ennpire-mlfidcdncss ls de- veloping, that trade within the Empire is not meeting the obstacles encountered elsewhere, or both. "It is probably the use that there is determination among Empire count- ries to give one another the benefit of their business in accordance with the Ottawa agreements, even at the expense of other countries which are constantly seeking to reduce their purchases. In 1928 Canada's exports to Ezmpirc countries were 33.4 per cent. of all exports, and in 1932 "the percentage was 44. The pro- iportion to Great Britain rose from 24.5 per cont to 36.1 in the same period. Intports from Empire count- ries shofved s. gain from 19.8 per cent. to 23.2 of all imports, while from the United Kingdom the change in proportion was from l5 per cent. m 20.1 per cent."

Shotild this trend wntirluc with general business improvement, the Globe sces every reason to believe that "the tremendous trade of the Elmptre should make itself felt 1n building up an era of steady prosper- ifry for the Empire nations. Most, of the diflleulttes 1n the Way of inter- national commerce which are affect- ing business today arose outside the Empire, yet the impact, has been felt within. When the Empire can get relief from the effects of these restrictions and develop its own poltcy it should become reasonably free from the disturbing elements of the future. Infra-Empire trade should be an assurance against» a ropetitlon of the existing depression in its full force so far as the Em/plre is concerned."

Mr. Mackenzie King, M13 "does not believe in Empire trade and thinks somcthiu: terrlslc was done b0 Canada's “.p‘.'-:rcign rights" st the fmprrial Conference at Ot- tawa last summer, is getting any- thing but support these days from his lcrfziliif: part1.’ fl"',fil‘.l.

“I did not begin to read poetry with passion and system until 1896. I was living then in Yonk- ers, N, Y. Chaucer was the 1'10?!- and the “Parliament "of Fiowls" the poem, of my conversion. ~I rend the "Parliament" all throuilh one Sunday afternoon, with the fceliffg that I had been kept out of my inheritance and had then suddenly entered upon it, and had found it a new world of won- der and delight. I had never realized, until then, what iaoetry could be. After that Sunday af- ternoon, I read many poets tchaticcr, Keats, Shelly, Milton and Shakespeare, more than oth- ers) and wrote many imitations of them." -

Nowhere 1n‘ the Preface does Masefield mention "The Piper of A111," 0f tho poems which moved him in early youth he mentions: "A poem, about An Old White Horse, in some way connected with the 10th Hussars in the Soudan Campaign"; n poem in Good Words, "A Friend," by Adeline Sargent; the poems of Longfellow, especially "Hiawatha"; The In- goldsby Legends; “The Wild Swan" by Tennyson; "I lemembe , I re- member,” by Thomes Hood; Du Monster's “Ballad of Camelot", in Punch (rememebred chiefly for the pre-Raphaelito engravings which illustrated it; and one or two lyrics of William Allinghami

"When I was ten years old." tho Preface continues, "I began to mad Sir Walter Scott's poems, Percy's “Reliques of Ancient Poetry," and a little red "An- thology of English Poetry" which contained some good poems. . . At; the age of fourteen I began to read Macculays "Lays of An- cient Rome," which put‘ an end to my liking for Scott, as they were more modern and more di- rect. I wrote some imitations of the Lays, they were then my favourite poems, but I had a very great fondness for two other poems, "The Braes of Yarrow," by William Hamilton of Blair- Bowric. and ‘"I‘he Voyage of Maeldune," by Tennyson. At; this time I had read none of the Ercat poems of the English “"8119. except two or three lyrics by Shakespeare, “When Dick the Shepherd, etc," and Milton's "l-fAilvsro" and "n Penseroso." As I was then being trained for a sea. life I had little uppflrtunity for reading poetry."

The fact seem to be that Mase- fteld was an omnivorous reader and drew Poetic inspiration mm many sources. His style, better than any recollections he may now have of thrpoems which most. impress- ed him at the outset of his literary career, furnishes the key to stu- dents of his work. And the merit; of his work is that it stands on its own feet; that it is strikingly ofzginal, not derivative. Few poets 0f any ago have owed less to out- siclc sources of inspiration than the author of "Daubcr," "The lusting Mercy," and "'11,; In The Bye Street."

Dz-fiftiie standards of work are maintained, with dcllnltc reward for merit. Re- search into old methods of dyeing and forgotten have added value to the work.

The linen for towels and luncheon sets is now woven from flax grown

upon the very farm when the cloth nus made. The wool comes from shDcp roaming the rocky country of the Laurentian foothills. The very dyes are commonly mud. and mix- ed by the weavers from vegetables and wi'd plants and berries. Most of the WCTK is done by women. In many homes in the valley of the Si.

The picture thus presented is an idyllic one:

"The baby sleeps peacefully in its cradle, lulled by the soft rhythmic clatter of the loom, and if ha wakens. mother and grand- mother and big sister are right there. and the play of their fingers as they work fascinates him into perfect behaviour. In summer the machines may be moved outdoors close to the roadside, and the family works in the healthiest surroundings. In winter the warm attic accommodates the heme in- dustry, and the air is sweet with the amell of dried bpvlvs and wm and fragrant herbs."

Noting the popularity of home- apuns among visitors and travellers on the river ships, the Canada Steamship Lines undertook to en- large the market for the meter!!! and at the same time to raise the standard of quality. ‘Ilmvueh the cooperation of the Quebec Depart- ment of Agriculture effective re- search work was carried on. It was found that many of the oldest Dat- terns, ontbodying real beauty‘ lmd local symbolism, were all but ex- tinguished, and the 10ml W011i"! were showing s regrettable tendency to find designs in the more inferior forms of mailorder advmlslfls.

This work has progressed so aucbassftzliy that in Quebec City today is s. school of instruction for handicraft work- ers which ltas only one rival in the world-Jane famous sch001 of handi- crafts tn Stockholm. Here classes are conducted for instructors through whom is being accomplish- ed a, 20th century renaissance of thb pioneer industry. Nor has the enterprise prwen unjustifiable even on ooxmnercial grounds. ‘Though prices of handicraft are surprising- ly reasonable, they leave a quite profitable margin to the producer. Better still, the industry has a cul- tural and even spiritual value to the community beyond computation in dollars and cents.

LIBERALS DISAGREE

In Vancouver lust week, notes an exchange, Hon. Ian Mackenzie, the Liberal member for Vancouver Ccutrc, came out strongly for such a radical measure of inflation 3s will cstnblislt ‘an immediate parity between the Canadian dollar and the British pound. In Toronto on the same evening his fellow Liberal, Mr. W. H. Moore, M. P., denounced all zhose who are attempting to “de- bauch" Canada's cun-ency. He took the ground that ntoucy made avail- uble through inflation can work n. lot of harm. He painted to Australia as n country whcrc the adopticn of this policy had played havoc with thc workxng population, even to the extent of reducing wirhws’ and mothers‘ allowances and old age pensions. It may be that Mr. Mac- kenzie is sidhng up to Mr. J. S. Woodsworth and the Canadian C0- opcrative Federation, but Mr. Moore is much sounder 1n his thinking, and most Canadians will agree with him rather than with ltis Western radical political associate.

The protracted depression is bringing into being a crop of for- crude/hie budgetary probleuns. Apart from the ustronmnical figures of the accumulating American deficit, the ddbit balance of the French Budget, excluding a large railway about, u now put at 1'1 milliard francs: and Italy reports s deficit of over 3,000 million lire.

Reports from various quarters lay stress on the f00d difllculties in the Soviet Union. But all this means no more than that a 300d deal of illus- sla will go hungry. ‘Those who see in it either the seeds of n. revolt against the system or a. genera-I breakdown of the syystcm are quite certainly wrong. The system is fail- ing badly at points, and Russians by the million feel the effect of the failure. But the Russian is muted to suffering, and his capacity for it is almost infinite.

Whilst Great Britain's expenditure on armaments for the last fiscal year was about thirteen and a half per cent of the budget total, the American Government 1s setting aside 43 per cent, of next year's budget for military purposes. Ameri- can politicians are fond of lecturing poor old Europe on her dissolute passion for awnaments. We often hear that the U. s. A. is unwilling to let us of‘! war debt payments be- cause she is afraid that we shall only spend the money on guns or ships. In view of these budget fig- ures, it seems fair to suggest to utrmerlca that we shall be justified in hesitation about paying her war debt, as that will only encourage he: to squander our money 011 her fighting fO1'%S,-"rfl1th, London. As though it were not enough to have fought the most destructive war in history, we in the western world have gone on loading nations with unpayablc debts, rearing tariff walls against the very international trade on which all mutual oielfare rests, insisting on a narrow nation- alism in a generation when all our major interests arc international, running our industry on an entirely selfish motive of private profit when only large-scale, social, co- operative planning can concciveubly save industry at all. We have used our best brains to make money for ourselves out of the economic sys- tem instead of using our brains to solve the social problems which the economic systcm ltas produced.- H811‘! E. Fosdick in Review of Re- vzews.

We made a mistake, says Dr. L. P. Jacks, in entrusting pimysical cul- turc to pwple of inferior education. They ought to be people of high education-as they are in Sweden, for example. They ought to know that the human body is not merely a. machine for digesting food and circulating blood» and developing muscle. but a marvellous creative instrument, a thing that hungers for skilfui activltydn every ziervc and fibre of it, s0 that even its physical he-z.’~'.‘.h is not attainable until you have satisfied its hunger for skill by one means or another. Your drui- Sergeant, your muscle trainer, your professional gymnast, your football ooach may be good fellows enough for their business; but as exponents of physical education, may the Lord deliver us from all such.

It is merely futile to expect a dramatic gesture by lfic Inaguc of Nations.

CHRONIC HEAD COLD IS OFTEN SINUSITIS

You may wonder why you have a cold in the head so often, the no“ seems "stuffed up", and there ts a dull headache that is almost always present. A flow of mucous from the nose often gives relief.

This condition may arise from constant "colds" caused by eating too much food or the wrong kinds of food, but very often it is due to infection in one of the sinuses, the ittie caverns or cavities situated about the hose.

Various forms of treatment are now in use for sinusttts—inflamma- tion of the sinus-as this condition is called, but Dr. W. Howarth, Lon- don, points out that these sinuses when first affected show a marked tendency to get better without treatment; treatment being neces- sary only in the old or chronic cases.

As in all infections the bowel must be regulated, foods that disagree with the patient or that cause hives or head colds must be avoided. Per- haps a little salt and water—a quar- ter teaspoonful of salt to a half cup of warm water-might be put up the nostril with an eye dropper and drawn down and out through the mouth; one or two droppers full on each side two or three times a day. If there is no relief and the head- ache, the stufflness and discharge from the nose or pain in the eyes continues, it would be well to see a nose specialist.

By means of the X ray, and also a little puncture, with the use of a suction apparatus, he will be able to get a. reasonable idea of the extent of the infection and its exact loca- tion.

Often the removal of this mucous or pus by means of this suction sp- paratus and washing out. the sinus brings complete relief. At other times, nothing but surgery, enlarg- ing the entrances of the sinuses so that the drainage from them will be complete brings about relief.

Dr. Howarth ts not in favor of severe surgical measures to cure chronic sinusitis, and thinks that if steps are taken to provide enough drainage the vast majority of cases will gradually be cured.

However, the main point, to rem- ember is not to let a chronic head- ache, stufflness and discharge from the nose be considered "just a cold." It; may be an inflammation of the sinus and should receive the proper treatment.

vThe day on which, beneath an arching sail,

I saw the Cordilleras hail; v

The summer day on which ltcart/s delight

I saw the Swansea Mumbles burst- ing white,

The glittering day when all the wnvcs were flags

And the ship "Wanderer" with sails in rags; _

That curlew-ceiltng time in Irish dusk

When life becdme moi-c splendid than its husk,

when the rent chapel on the brac at stains

Shone with n. doorway opening be- yond brains;

The dawn when, with a brace- blockfls creaking cry,

Out of the mist; a littlo barquc slipped by, i

Spllling the mist with changing gleams of red, ,

Then gone, with ouereised hand and one turned head;

The howling evening when the splndriftrs mists
