The Senate Goes Home Again

he Senate met last Tuesday night for the first time in this part of ‘the present session, and in s few minutes adjourned for another fortnight because there was no work for it. Even at the end of two more xveeks, it was said, there still may be no work, and another adjournment may be necessary.

All thc brains of Parliament, comments an ex- change, are not in the House of Commons, and it must’ be clear to everyone that a system which fails to make adequate use of the experience, the wisdom and the statesmanship of the Upper I-Iousc is very far from complete efficiency. _

Senator Meighen, discussing this situation, said he did not know ivhat the solution might be. But certainly it is not enough to denounce the Senate as a useless appendage, or as a highly-paid luxury, when our parliamentary scheme scents carefully calculated to deprive that body of initiative Ind responsibility. _ _

On the ntiitters currently before PaIlll-MCIII I! would appear that the mature judgment of_ 96 senators would be of value to the Administration. that they could play a useful part in discussions of such vast moment. But the rules or customs or something say otherwise, and so the Senate goes home. It sci-ins a waste of public men and public money. -

“frites a correspondent: Our Prime Minister may rightly claim that he has good men in his cabinet and surely some of them deserve credit for the fine service; and his appointment of “dollar-a-year” men to important and exacting positions in connection with defence activitieshas in most cases been justifiable on the score of merit and competency. Unfortunately, however, in the less important positions, both civil aitd military, there has been criticism that the appointments have savored too much of political favoritism and men unqualified for their duties have been given posts which might have been better filled by really capable men irrespective of party. Political patronage should have no place in the employment of those whose patriotic duty it is to proscute all activities in connection with the defence needs of Canada, and the help she desires to give to Great Britain in men, munitions and supplies. These are times of emergency and what is required is nothing less than the best men and the bcst brains to be found throughout the Dominion.

Sclentists arc still endeavouring to ﬁnd ways and means of keeping humanity young and active. A chemical-soiliuiti thiocyaiiate—whicli might conceivably increase man's lifc span to 185 years is described by Dr, William bfarias Malisoff, pro- fessor of biochemistry of Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute. “On the basis of what we have done with rabbits,” he told the Huntington Executives’ Club, "we have come to thc conclusion that if we can do the same thing for man, hc can live s healthy and normal life until the age of 185." A waxy material, cholesterol, is deposited on the arteries, he explained, and “there is s correlation between age and the amount of cholesternol dc- posited. After much experimenting, we found a chemical called sodium tliiocyanatc which would disperse the choestcrol without harming the body. In tests of 52 rabbits, we have been able to “everse the symptoms of old age?‘

The question is asked why Mrs. Winans was not featured with her husband, when the new U.S.A. Ambassador was received by His Majesty on arrival in London. For the simple reason she was not there. She expects to fly to England — but not at once. Her plans are to have the Am- bassador get settled first, and join him in London about the end of this month or early April. Be- fore she goes, she wants a holiday with her chil- dren—Mrs. Carlos Volanda, who eloped with the Venezuelan scientist, and sous john G. and Riv- ington Russell, who still are in school Mrs. Con- stance Russell Winanti stems from Scotch and English stock, and often is mistaken for an Eng- lish ivoman. She has travelled s. lot and is a flying fan, though not a pilot. Last December, when Mr. Wiitant iiiatigtirated the Social Security hospitals in Peru, she flew there and haCl(—I_'§,OOO miles in nine days.

In the case of students who at- taiucrl the age of 2f before July I, 1940, the niili- tary training that has been taken at the university (luring the prcscnt session will be considered to be a full satisfaction of the 30-day training required of all mcn in this age-group under the original proclamation of the Government. 'I'hcse slu- dcnts will not be required to attend the two-week camp originally prescribed, but, if camp accom- modation is available, the Government will pro- vide for those who wish to go to camp and com- plete the training originally planned. Students who reach the age of 2i between July I, i940, and June 3o, i941, inclusive, must attend a two-week cantp to be held as soon as possible after examin- ations have been completed.

Cnudlan farmers are deeply sym- gisthstlc with the people of Britain the burdens they are shouldering

In support of the war. They know that, an adequate supply d’ food ts a prerc ulslte to victory, and they are rea y to provide it. "If we get. gny kind of fair show", says a writ- er to this paper, “we w.ll produce all the bacon, checse and every 0th- ei- foodstuff- slble. tr necessary, for the Old Land". This farmer de- plores time prices potp‘e In Iimglaud must. pay for Canadian food, in com srfssn with those the producer rece ves. As an example, the writer says s. large cnsgnment of honey recently rent. to England brought the producer 9 1-2 cznts s. pound. “but. the pvor Bngltshman will have to pay 30 per pound for over there." ‘lite farmers do not. want. any "runaway skyrocketing prices like we had In the last war," but. they d2 want a price for the‘: pro- duct that will enable them to con- tinue operations. They do not, desire a “boom" In agriculture. Because of high prices during the last war, fir: man says he kziowns “dozens of farmers who scld their farm; then at big figures. with perhaps only half cash dovm, and moved to same town oi- village, at past middle life. to pass their remaining days; only to find that their rsrms were thrown back (m their hands, often In bad shape and perhaps a. rod bush sold off."
