Democratic Government

For the first time in nearly ten 901ml Canada is to have a Govern- ment of and by a. majority of the people. The electors of 1921 did not III) E. King a clear majority. eith- er of members of Parliament or of the popular vote. His Government was defeated in 1925. the Conserv- atives having a large majority of the

popular vote but not a sufficient

number of members of Parliament to enable Mir. Meighen to carry on means: the Liberals and other groups. In the following year the Conserv- atives had a larger percentage of the popular vote than the Liberals and though the latter returned more ‘ to Parliament they were not a majority over all. So it may be said with truth that the Govern- ment of this country has been car- ried on since 1921 by a species of bargaining between representatives of the different groups. It should be a satisfaction, even to the local Lib- eral organ when it recovers.‘ to have this equivocal situation brought toen

Canada's High Commissioner

It is reported that l-Ion. Vincent Massey has resigned the Canadicn high czmmiasionership in Inndon. to which‘ he wu unrelated by the King Gzvcrument 1nd upon the duties of which he wu to enter in October. The popular call for a. change of ed- mmistratlon would warrlnt Mr. Mu- zzy in taking this step. Former hold- ers cf the office sent in their rmig- nanom- upoittlu defeat of the Ow-

ernmenm which appointed them.

There is more reason to-day than ever there was for adhering to that rule. The High Commissioner has now the status of a Canadian min- ister at the British capital. and might well feel bound to tender his resignation when members of the cabinet which appointed him have their resignations accepted.

Swords Into Ploughshares

There is scriptural authority for the hope that eventually the nations will beat their swords into plough- shares and their spears into pruning hooks. but who could have fol-seen any purpose beneficial to mankind in the devilish inventions used to destroy life in the last great war? Nevertheless, in the last annual re- port of the British Empire Cancer Campaign there is the significant statement. based on results of re- search work at Leeds University. that the chemical substance known as “mustard gas" possesses powers of preventing the onset of cancer in Neel of the skin to which cancer- producingtam bu! been applied. Thus science advances. No discovery or invention can be altogether harm- ful, however deadly the purposes to which originally it was applied.

The subject is a suggestive one to the moralist. Our passions, it has been said, are but untamed virtues. our devils angels in disguise. “Once hadst thou wild dogs in thy cellar; but they changed at last into birds and charming songstresses. Out of thy poisons brewedst thou balsam for thyself; thy cow, affliction. milkedstl thou." This is one of the great lessons l I that a man learns as he matures. He l l l

DAVID FIFE

Q- Who was David Fife?

A. A movement is on foot to hon- or the late David Fife as the origin- ator of the famous Red Fife wheat which has made such a valuable contribution to the wealth and pros- perity of Canada. This grade was developed on Mr. Fife‘: farm near Peterboro- This discovery is one of the romances of the productivity of nature. Today Red Fife wheat is widely known throughout the Canad- ian West especially as well u also. where and it is worthy to be classed with the later Marquqls variety.
