GETTING RESULTS

Councillors Kennedy, Holman and I-lennesscy may well congratumte thenlselves upon the expedition with which they discharged the commis- sion entrusted to them by the City Council, of obtaining authority from the provincial and federal govern- ments to use the unemployment. re- lief money obtained from both gov- Inments for the purpose of giving direct employment. to city workmen. Both the provincial and federal authorities readily acquiesced in the proposal, and the City Council may now go ahead with the construction

- of such work as is deemed advisable.

The cleaning out of the north end If Government Pond and the com- pleting of the breastwork around the west end of’ Victoria Park have been suggested, and these or other plans will doubtless bogiven early consideration so that work may be commenced as soon as the weather conditions permit.

The despatch with which this matter was settled was due to friendly and harmonious co-opera- tion between all concerned. such oo- operaiion always cot" results, where- as fault-finding and criticism lnvar‘ labiy create friction and lead no- where, so far at least as the public LI concerned.

SOVIET INSOLVENCY

The claim that the Soviets have

shevik organizations, or Socialist groups which, despite the evidence, refuse to recognize the failure of the first great Marxian experi- ment. “Pro-Soviet propaganda also continues unabated in certain intellectual circles disguised or embittered by the present diffi- cnlties. Moscow's agents know how to exploit their ignorance in econ- omic matters. Whether it is a question of demands for credit, non-aggresion pacts or diplomatic recognition, one is astonished to see the influence of these agents." This writer adds that experts f0‘.- lowing the Russian situation closely are pessimistic as to the outcome, and that their pessimism should serve as l. warning to statesmen, financiers and leaders of industry. The credit of the Soviets is “so pre- carious that it is mire folly to oon- tinue to accord them advances to favor their commercial 0p€l11tl0fl5.'

"This information," concludes The Globe, "was not gathered for the benefit of Canadians who may be inclined to be carried away with the ballyhoo 'for Russian barter, It- should have a sobering effect in this country. as elsewhere, never- theless." '

BANKING CONTRAST

It now seems clear that the tem- porary closing of the Michigan banks is partly attributable to personal and financial differences between prominently placed industrialists" and politicians. Back behind this. special local situation, howeveryl

llvsay. met their obligations, says the ‘Toronto Globe, leading Liberal newspaper. is one oi’ the arguments put forth in Canada for entering

to a trade pact with them, with

v s. guarantee of the Canadian Gov-

ornment that tho bills would be paid. During the final months of last year Moscow was obliged to ask re- nowal of bills and to export much gold to make settlements. Actually only 40 pea" cent of some bills was paid.

The bar-tee idea ls based on the theory that exports balance ' im- ports. Official Soviet statistics show an adverse balance of trade during the first eleven months of 1932 ag- gregating 130,500,000 rubles. Every month had an unfavorable balance, concept October and November, when soul! wheat, badly needed at home, was _thi'vwn on the market. The truth about gold production ls its 41mm]; {p get, g5 other authentic information. Irom one source it is learned that the output in 1932 was valued at 70,000,000 rubles-the pubis having a theoretical value of about 00 conic, but no actual value In the foreign exchange markets. Another places the total production I?! 1011f yous, 1929 to 1932, at 105,- 000,000 rubles. The Daily Mall of London ha; reported that 300,000,000 nhlu’ worth was sent to Germany between January, 193i, and October 1m.

These two conditions constitute the chief weaknesses of the whole United States banking system. The first i5 the‘ freedom with which American balllCS/mfiy lend upon real estate. The second is that the banks are, in the main purely local in charac- ter, each depending uwn the 119$ and downs of its own community for success or failure. These dimcul- tles have been largely responsible for the present situation in Detroit and Michigan. The financial infilt- ntions of Detroit are naturally in- wrcsted in the depressed motor ln- dustries, which make their head- quarters there, and they have a. large amount of money tied up in local real estate which is unsalable for the time being.

The Canadian banks, rollowins the traditions of the British banks, are built upon sounder Mmdliiofli- This is one of the material advan- tages which this country gained by remaining in the Bnpirc when the revolting American colonies went out of it.

Propa- ganda emphasizing the superiority of our bank system over the Ameri- can bank system is now being car- ried on throughout the republic-and G0ngr€8s may be wheeled to adopt legislation promoting the establish- ment of British-Canadian banking practices under the n stars and Stripes.

Under the American 511'»: .1 there is a sharp division between Cabinet members and the legislative branch. It is impossible for a man to dis- charge his guties as a legislator if at the same time he is responsible to the President for the conduct of a great depart/meat of state. The op- poslte is true here under the Brit- lsh system. The members of the Cabinet are also members of Parlia- ment. They are ecctlve champions of the policy of the Government on the floor of the House, and they are also competent administrators of their various bureaus. If their de- partments are criticized they are there to defend them. They do not have to be summoned formally, as if they were delinquent boys, to face iniulsflmp on a hostile Senate com- mittee as they do in the United States. Ln s. word, they perform both administrative and legislative functions.

' . When you have toothache there is only one thought in your mind and that is to get immediate relief, You are ivilllng to let the doctor or dentist look for the cause a lime later.

However although you have pain in one or more teeth that pain may be caused by other condition; an. tirely. _

Sometimes the pain is in the tooth itself and“ sometimes in tr",- tissues surrounding the tooth.

Your dentist lf in doubt questions and makes certain tests thus:_

(l) In acute inflammation of the pulp of the tooth pain is sharp, shooting, stabbing, whereas, st first anyway, inflammation in the gums is dull, steady, and gnawing.

(2) Testing the suspected teeth with heat or cold is of great value. If the pulp of the tooth itself is in- flamed the pain increases, whereas

or tissue around the tooth there is no change in the pain.

gives severe pain if inflammation is in the surrounding tissue, and no change with lntllommation of the pulp of the teeth, provided of course that the inflammation of the pulp has not extended right into the‘ gums.

(4) Placing a. wisp of cotton-wool in the cavity. With an inflamed pulp this is painful but naturally has no‘ effect if the inflammation is in the surrounding tissue and not in the tooth.

In addition to the pain from the inflamed pulp or the inflamed gum, there may be a "neuralgic" pain from other causes as pointed out by Dr. L. E. Claremont, London, Eng- land.

1. Wrong and difficult growing pssition of the teeth.

2. Diseases of the nose and sin- ‘JSCS.

3. Diseases of the eye.

4. Compression of the little nerves by bony or fibrous tissue.

5. Growths ‘about the teeth.

' o. Some general or systemic dis- case of the body-anaemia, gout, in- fluenza, and other conditions.

7. Nerve or brain affections. Thus toothache may mean a great deal more than an inflammation of the pulp (which includes the nerve) or of the sofe tissues around thc teeth. '

This means that the dentist after making a thorough eraminalion of the patients mouth is able to report to the physician that the pain is due to the teeth or the tissues about the teeth, or that search must be made elsewhere in the body.

The East Wind

(London ‘Pimgsl

It would be instructive to make a collection of all the proverbs and wise sayings about the East Wind. The presumption lg that, in Europe at any rate, they would be almost uniformly derogatory. Few have a good word for a blast which, born in deserts of snow or sand, falls like a scourge on men and women accustomed to better things. It. is the East Wind which teaches the blessings of the Wes-t Wind and the South Wind and even 0f the North Wind. The mouths which it fills with its dryness are disinclin- ed for many days afterwards to complain of any other type of weather. Anything is better than this mixture of ice and sand and smoke. Nor can it be maintained any longer that, to the victim of rheumatism at least, the East Wind brings the benefit of dryness; for I recent study of rheumatism in one of lie forms has suggested that dry- ncss acts as an eiccitant of the disease rather than as a palliative. The discomfort which almost every- body feels in the presence of East wind is due, of course, to its dry- ness; tho moment a} humid atmo-

which I will suggest later on. Now _t‘ie merits of our jur- ies, our differing pvblic have not‘ been getting either redress or sat- isfaction. and, as far as I can see. never will in depending on crilnilr a1 law to check this trail of Lrtreetly which has become all ice common.

I am not here to pa“ Tulam-n nu the Courts, I have :11" s admired the painstaking 0f our Judges in defining the law to cur juries, and our juries are generally composed to average intelligent and con- scientious men, but, with the average of evidence which is 0b- tainable in these cases. and when the Crinrnal Code contains such distinct paints of protection to the accused under the indictment of manslaughter, it is hard to get twelve men to agree on a verdict. unless they feel satisfied that there ls no evidence to convict, then they will acquit. 1

Now the other law that I Wlll suggest is a law of prevention, every few days through the sum- mer we would sec iu the paper where some fellow was fined a few dollars for driving to the coin- mon danger and let go on to kill somebody some other time. Now if that fellow was over-taken by our Mounties (who should be in- vested with power) and his num- bers clipped off and not restored until a staunch and tangible security was given for his fixture conduct which sccurliy could be held and seized vpcn (at any time if he committed any offence in motor traffic that would result in danger) and used to compensate those win suffered, then citizens generally might be protected.

Until we have some ruch law as this which would meet the road-

Now if this prin- ciple was observed by all drivers we would not have many motor accidents.

I think that we will all agree with the old proverb that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so I think we should aim as m!‘ 88 Possible at prevention in- stead of punishment. If we had that law and put 1t into effect we would have nice careful driving on our roads and every-body could get there in time. I am, Sir,'ctc. W. S. MUTTART
