These problems are still wizh us. The war has accentuated them so far as our livestock producers are concerned. The King Government in the interim has done 8ll>i>'l:it<*l\' nothing. It has even handicapped our llllillllvﬁfS still further by permitting huge imports of American farm products to flood the home lllflfliCl, at a time when every effort should be ltlJHlC to encourage home production. This is an iuipovzaut factor in Canada's war contribu- tion. aul is so recognized by the Conservative IUilllFr in the speeches he has already delivered in uus campaign.

"Strange Halucination

As pointed out in these columns yesterday, the popular vote in I935 did not give the King Gov- erunieut an over-all majority. Indeed, they re- ceived some 300.000 fewer votes than the coni- hiued parties opposing them. Yet Mr. King is now going about the country claiming that his administration is a “truly National Govern- meut."

We have the extraordinary spectacle of a Govcrmiiirut representing only a minority of the people of Canada insisting that it. and it alone, must run the war for all the people of Canada. That the majority has at least as much at stake in this war as the Government's minority by a fortunate (for him) accidental political cir- cumstance, he has taken to himself the role of a dictator, not merely spurning Parliament, but spuruing the majority of the Canadian people; refusing to consult with, or even inform, the leaders of the other parties, running the war as though it were something concerned with his own career; his personal business.

ln peace, a minority Govcrnment—in a. min- oi-ily with the popular vote-is not an unusual thing. .-\ ltllltiifily (iovernmcnt in war, where lllt‘ il\l"- aud future of everybody is at stake, is lllwiinulv nu intolerable thing. All the more in- tolerable when thztt minority Government begins

Over here, the Prime Minister retains his in- competent men, gives “cushy” jobs to those who have been smeared with the black brush of pub- lic condemnation.

He plays politics during war-the modern equivalent of fiddling while Rome bums; and he hopes to coast back to power on advice about swapping horses in mid-stream.

Patent rights on frosted electric light bulbs were involved in a judgment handed down by the Supreme Court of Canada in favor of Fuso Electric Works of Tokyo, and other japcucse in- terests and against the Canadian General Elec- tric Company. The court upheld the Fuso Com- pany's claim that a patent of Canadian General Electric was invalid and that there had been no infringement of patent. 'l‘he atcnt relates to frosted glass articles and metiods of making them. The patent in question related to an im- provement by which bulbs are subjected to a strengthening treatment, consisting of a second etching inside the bulb.

When Mr. Cliamberlaln sald he had, no difference in policy Wlbll Mi‘. Hore-Bclll-lia, he evidently meant 1n regard to the army, and indeed 1t was the army which was 1n all thoughts. The untxsclosed cause of his resignation now has been revealed. alpptmsntly. Horn- Belislia has turned to his first love, Jotu-nalism, and he wrote “Shall We Fight For Finland Now?” 1n "News of ilie World." Forty-four ‘lines were detected by the cantor, but. lvflr. Hore-Biellsiha made ms polsition clear by-repeatmg his rea- sons for answering ‘ﬁves’ 1n an ad- dress in his own constituency. To 1.111s, the government has made no objection.

It. ls quite possible that his colleagues hold similar views but hesitate to act. lest there be cries that this 1s 1s a class war.

From them the name spread copiously into the relgnmg hcu es of England, Castile, Aragon. and Portugal: our Henry II, John, Edwards I and I1, and others of their houses all had dauglitrrs Eleanor, and so had several of the county houses.

Slr.~I suggest that parents eo- operate more with principal and teaching staff. and tlll the atr wlth less_ grumbling and fewer com- plainls. I have had experience with prlnclpal. teaching staff and school board, and find all tlhree parties only too eager to help parents and chfldren alike. I have children attending St. Lam rl. High, one boy ls ln hlgth school, and he studies less than an hour each night, but manages at times to earn a dime by securing above 90 marks 1n his exams: the others study a normal amount each night without any tearful hysterlcs, and Rrade each year. It ls expect- ed. of course, by some parents that the teacher must supply the brains as well as the ktmwledve.

"A SATISFIED PARENT."

Radio And Print

Reference airmears 1n the New Republic to a. forthcoming publica- tion of what ls said to be the most thorough study or radio yet at.- tempted. ‘Ihls survey. financed by the Rockefeller foundation, has been carried on for two years by the School of Public and Int/ema- tlonsil Affairs of Prlnceton Unl- verslty. Thousands of detailed 1n- terviews were held with raldfo listeners of every tytpe all over the country; ‘U116 most hfglhly de- veloped. modem fact-finding teen- ntques have been effectively em- ployed 1n this study.

The. Princeton survey classified the population according t0 in- come levels and educational cp- port/umties. And it found con- clusively that. the higher the level the more reading. Radio goes the 01'1"?! Wﬂlvi the lower the level, tlhe more listening. On the lower levels the radio 1s frequently on ten hours a day. In the home of a. p00!‘ tenant tanner. the, one who llves up a back country mad and sees little cacti money, the mam 15 often the family's main ccnuwt wttlh tlhe world.

The survey analyzes the audi- ences of those radio programs til-tat complete with prfnt-the programs that wﬂvey ideas. information, interpretations of news, polltltml opinions. And the Interesting discovery ls that the lower the level of education, the fewer peo- ple listen to suclh programs, Vice verse, tihe reading people do listen to them more frequently.

The majority listen to the come- ellan who confides tn you about his mother-in-iaw, to the 1mm- merable serials that dramatize how the Jones family overccmes lln tribulations 'I1he=y don't list/en so much to potitlml speeches, pub- lic affairs forums, cultural talks. The survey found that even President Roosevelt dcesnt reach as many over tine alr as some might suppose. Though he 1s ad- mltltxtdl_v' a charming and persuas- ive political oer: ialzty, hi; speech- es. excerpt on TlLlSUﬁ-l occasions, are listened to by less than one- tihfrd of tlhe JﬂdlO owners. It 1s generally thought that. his main support ls frcm the lower econnnic levels. Yet on the lower economic levels one set in fcur is likely to b9 lulled ‘I11 on him: on the upper, one in two. Tlne better-educated people, who wculd 1n general mm- cr get ideas by reading than by listening, are twice as tkely to liten to the President. And the difference is apt. to be greater in the case of ot-hr serictis brtrdcxsts.

The Lust Act

General Ludendorff nzmself ll authority for the statement that the German Army was defeated. It is all there in his own war mem- oirs in the chapter “The Last.

Phase," which begmﬁ Wlm ‘the’

famous confession: "Aug. 8 was me black day of tlhe German Army in the history of this war." 0n that. day, 1n the Smnmer of 1918. the British broke the German ltne M. Vlllers-Bmwnneux. west of Amiens using chiefly the AUSl-mllﬂflﬁ and Canadians, and with Merton us- sistance to the soutm.

Roughly three weeks before this. Ludendorff had made lfs last bld for victory with his Pkledesistunn in the Champagne. 0:1 July 18 Foch ushered 1n the last act of the play with his counter-stroke south of soissons, 1n which the American Regulars paruclpated. ‘Phls in turn prepared the way for tine British effort- of Aug. 8. when the ftghtlﬂ! took 0n more than the character 01’ a German defeat; ft was tn place; very near a rout. After three days Ludendorff found that "our war machine was no longer ef- fluent."

End of the Game

Iludendorff puts 1t more specif- ically than that:

"Aug. 8 put the decline of that fighting power beyond all doubt, and tn such a. sttuatlon, as regards reverses, I had no hope of ftncLng a strategic expedient whereby to tum the situation to our advantage. On the contrary. l became canvlnc- ed that we were now without sate foundation foa- tlhe plans of Gener- al Headquarters on which I had hitherto been able to build. at least so far as tints 1s possible 1n war. Leadership now assumed. as I then stated, the character of an lrimpoitsible game off chance, a thing I have always considered fatal. ‘I'm- fate of the German people was to me too high a stake. The war must be ended.""llne Ism- peror told me Inter that, after the failure of the Jilly ottennve and after Aug. B. h" know the wnr could no longer be won’
