Important Trade Mission

The rcqucst or‘ Maritime potato growers and shippers for federal ac- tion in the matter of the new Cuban tariff. which. virtually prohibits the exportation to that country of table stock potatoes. has been promp=iy met by the Bennett Government. Yesterday's despiitchcs announce that Hon. John A. MacDonald. M P, will leave shortly for Havana to (lisruss this question with the Cu- haii Government. The selimon of lion. Mi". MacDonald is - "a" cular- ly fnrlunatc one. as he is thoroughly rcrrcd in all the details of the pc- hto business.

The outstanding difficultg; in con- nection with a trade arrringcin-nt with Cuba is said to be the treaty mndc by the King Government with the British West indies. under which tropical fruits, sugru, etc.. from the latter country are givcn preference in the Canadian markct. lloivcvcr, the superior quality of hfaritfme potatoes. the fact that storage facilztics iii Cuba are limit- ed and that nowhere ctln Cnbn huy hcr potatoes during the months of September and October as cheaply and as advantageously 1s in these Proﬂnccs. will be inducements in favor of a return to the old tar- iff rates which permitted the im- portation of Maritime table stock up to the 1st of November.

The fact that, in the midst of its first regular parliamentary session the Government considers the inat- ter ofysufficient importance as to ivarrant the sending of a member of the administration to Cuba, indi- cat-cs the practical interest ﬁaken at Ottawa in everything touching the welfare of this section ol the coun- try. If. indicates also the esteem in which Hon. Mr. MacDonald ls held by his governmental colleagues as a Itatcsmiin and business man, forit will require both these qualifications to discharge the duties of his Cu- bnn mission. In the Maritime Prov- inces, and especially in Prince Ed- ward Island where Mr. MacDon- ald's abilities are so wcll known, the consensus of opinion will be that. the Government has picked the right man for the job.

__ The Viking Disaster

The news that the survivors of the'Viking disaster, to the number of 121. are now safely provisioned with food and medical assistance was received with world wide re- lief yesterday. Fiction has seldom furnished a more sensational ad- venture than the grim facts related day by day in the press despatches of the blowing up and sinking of the Viking off the Newfoundland coast, the death of twenty scal hunt- t.) an board, thc loss of other members of thc expedition, and

lhc efforts of the survivors. of thcm badly injured, to reach

l-lcrsc Island, a bit of rock with only five homes to offer shelter nnci a nfnimum of food. The ship, with its significant name. was bcaring a load of adven- turers on the spring seal hunt. among the ice floes of the North Atlantic. All hands were settling down‘ for the night late on Saturday last. some already in their berths- othcrs smoking or singing hymns, when‘ a. terrific explosion blew part of the ship to bits. Powder carried for blasting a passage through the ice is thought to have come in con- tact with fire and caused the wreck. when the rescue of the survivors at Horse Rock ‘ is effected and their story cah be reconstructed in zlctuil, it will be written down as one of the most exciting m’shaps in lhc annals of the sea. There have bcm many tragedies in the New- fcundlanci sealing industry, where hardship and adventure are accept- ccl as matters of course, but few

and self-sacrifice, even of heroism For it is on the call of danger that these qualities, universal in the hu- man race, are truly revealed. "What would courage be without dan- ger, and pity without pain?" asked a philosopher. The answer is obvious. It ls this precipitousness in human affairs, as Henry James called it, this continuous demand upon hu- man strength and strenuousness,

‘that gives the world its moral tone.

It is this that excites and interests the locker-on at life, that heightens the consciousness of our fellowship one with another, and broadens our conceptions through understanding and sympathy.

Snowderfs Failure

Chancellor Snowden, says an Eng-, lish exchange, has achieved a repu- tation for firmness which he has done nothing to deserve, and he has

been acclaimed as an orthodox fin-

ancier in spite of the crushing burdens which he has placed on British industry. His attitude has always been purely negative, and not one constructive suggestion has ever emanated from him. ‘One nmthod of raising revenue is reject- ed by him on what are called moral grounds; another because it would not have met with the approval of Mr. Cobden; and a third because it was approved by his predecessor. When his party first came into power, he could have raised a hund- red million development loan, which would have gone a. long way towards solving the unemployment problem. at. five per cent, but he would have none oi’ it». In consequence the money that might have been paid as interest is now being frittered away on the dole, while public con- fidence in the Labour Government has sunk so low that even if they announced the issue of a develop- ment: loan, the public would only come in on condition that the Cabi- net went out.

Bringing Them to Canada

According to Business Week, ar. lin- portant United States business publi- cation, the year 1930 saw 85 American manufacturers completing negotia- tions for establishment of branch plants in Canada. In addition, 52 other companies appealed to Canad- ian trade representatives in New York and Chicago for information concerning the formalities of setting up Canadian branch plants. And Business Week adds:

"Enactment of the tariff on Sep- tember 17 was enough to precipitate a decision in many cases, and to bring up the problem for serious con- sideration in many others."

The proof oi’ a ﬁscal policy ls in its operation. The proof of the ef- ﬁcacy of’ an adequate tariff wall against the United States is that in- stead of making their goods across the lure with American labor, and then shipping them over here across a low tariff wall, United States mari- ufacturers nre being compelled to come to Canada. establish their plants here, employ Canadian labor. pay out wages here build up Canad- ian communities.

Theorists may argue until they are blue in the face about the abstract advantages of Free Trade. There is no getting away from the reality and practical fact that a tariff brings work and wages to Canada, gives to this country what would otherwise work to the advantage of the United States.

Notes by the Way

Christian belief and conduct. says The Times, (London), draw their special features from the life and teaching of Christ. It is impossible to separate thescjfor Christian faith and ethics continue only so long as. they remain mutually interdepen- dent. No one can hold the Christian falthJl he rejects the standards of life by which that faith is expressed. Similarly, though this is sometimes vigorously denied, no one can accept the ethical standards of Christ's teaching if he~ deliberately rejects the claims made by the Master on his faith and loyalty.

A largo proportion of the teaching recorded in the Gospels is con- cerned with questions of’ right con- duct. Christ is habitually ethical and practical, and seems more’ anxious to insist on the need of purity in life, truthfulness, or care for the poor and suffering than on the importance of a true creed. Yet we must not forget that His law oi’ moral conduct passes beyond words and actions to the inner sources of a man's life, his thoughts, motives, and desires. It is expressed in varied terms. but always it claims absolute authority over every department of life, even to a man's most secret desires und- thoughts.

By Ionics W. Barton. M.D. WHAT ONE BAD TOOTH CAN DO

A dental health proverb says "a good tooth in the head is worth ten on a plate."

This is true‘ enough, and the idea v1’ "yin: W preserve our own teeth

800d 591155. but just as one bad ap- ple can spoil a barrel of good ones, 50 can one bad tooth undo the en- tire body to such an extent that the good work of ten good téithcannot make up for it.

It is a very serious mistake to think that as all your teeth (that is 31 teeth) but one, are in good shape, that one infected tooth cannot mat.- ter very much to you general health.

Now what is the good work your teeth do for you?

They grind the food up into small pieces, break open little starch gra- nules, so that the moist saliva not only turns the starch into sugar. but molstens and softens the starch so that it is in good condition to be furthzr digested when it get-s fur- ther down past the stomach into the small intestine. And the other foods,

Matthew Arnold once wrote that

Christ “never touches theory. but

bases Himself invariably on exper-l fence." It is certainly remarkable

that His teaching always drives those; who listen to it to ask: What shall

we do? Sometimes He seems to

make demands which not only run

counter to natural desire, but also

imply the renunciation of duty to‘ those who are bound to us by the- closest and most sacred ties.

He will have no divided loyalty. and when occasion arises a. man must be prepared to sacrifice every- thing for the sake of the Masten Yet. when we look closer to Christ's’ teaching we ﬁnd that it is level to the conditions and needs of men and women engaged in the ordinary tasks of daily life, save that no soon- er do they respond to H's injunctions than they ﬁnd a new meaning in the most commonplace duty, and become conscious of a new dignity as they discharge it, for everything done in‘ the consciousness of’ God's presence

sive love to His eternal love has its own regal nobility and beauty.

According to Christ's teaching, the‘ nobility of a. man's nature lies in his participation of the Divine life. The: Creation narratives, which represent this fact in primitive fashion by telling us that God breathed into, man's nostrils the breath of life and. man became a living soul, serve to, prepare us for Christ's insistence on‘ God's Fatherhood of all ‘men.

Herc is a relationship which is conceived of as founded on the par- ticipation of a llfc by which mcri are able to share God's eternal right- eousness. Moreover, Christ had a conﬁdent belief in men's power to make moral progress. He seemed‘ anxious to persuade them that. they had capacities of inﬁnite improve- ment 1n moral and spiritual exper- fencc. It was in the light of this fact that He insLsted 0n the inﬁnite worth of the human soul, and found His: highest satisfaction in helping men‘ to attain something more of the!r- true possibilities in a more complete compliance to the Will of God.

It follows from this that a man's true worth is determined, not by his money, h} intellectual power, or his social qualities, but by his attitude to God and the things of the spiritual world. in the Gospel a man's worth is determined not by what he is. or has achieved, but by what he is be- coming. If. in whatever degree. he is making some progress in spiritual perception and righteousness of life. he is approved, while, though his character ls marked by much that is excellent, if he is content to remain

and as the expression of our respoii- -

mean, eggs, and so forth, are like- wise broken up by the teeth and soft- ened so that the stomach can get them ready for their next step fo- ward digestion and absorbed into the blood from the small intestine.

You can see how important a good set. of chewing teeth are to the body. Well chewed food gives the food p flying start in digestion.

Now what can one lone infected tooth do against thirty one gocd teeth? '

The poison from one infected tooth is so powerful that getting absorbed into the blood it is carried to every part of the body. It can cause such severe rheumatism-arthrltis-that the individual must remain absolutely quiet in bed unable to move certain joints, and threatened all the time with the most serious form of heart disease. '

This same poison may start trouble‘ in the lining of the stomach, thus forming an ulcer. It may so disturb the vision that aviators have been unable to judge distances iirlanding and have crashed their machines. It. may affect the hearing.

It may cause pain in any part of the body. It may cause such a tired lazy feeling that‘ the individual doesn't want to work 0r Plly b9- causc hc feels so tircd all the time.

It may also render the individual liable to colds and other ailments, because so much of the fighting force of the body-the white corpusc-

les- is being used up to fight this _

poison.

And so 1 s, "it is better to have ten artificial teeth than to have one of your own teeth that ls infected." Get an X ray oi’ your teeth. Don't keep any infected or dead teeth in your mouth.

The Printing Industry.

A report on the printing and pub- lishing industry in Canada for 1928 and 1929 has just been issued by the Dominion Bureau of statistics. stat- istics concerning this industry were ln the past included in the report on printing trades. ‘The present re-

uport gives the production of news-

papers and periodicals which print their own publications.

There were 767 establishments en- gaged in' this industry in 1929 as a- gainst 753 in 1928. ‘The distribution by provinces was as follows: Ontar- io, 302; Saskatchewan, 37; Alberta, 77.; Manitoba 68; Quebec 65; Brit.- ish Columbia. and Yukon, 80; Nova Scotia 32, New Brunswick 22, and Prince Edward Island 4.

Capital investment in thtse con- cerns increased from $60,822,600 in 1929 to $87,736,328 in 1929, showing a gain of $4,913,638 or 9 percent over the figures for the precedfn, year. The value placed on lands, buildings madhi y, tools, ttc., was" given at

Brilliancy Impoverished (Manitoba Free Preul I

A fund is being raised for the un- provided-for widow and family of Lord Birkenhead. For a time Blrkenhcad, as F. E. Smith, enjoyed one of the wealthiest practices at the English Bar. He would have con- tinued to enjoy such an earning capacity had he not succumbed to politics. The right to follow a career that rewarded him with a quarter- mllllon dollars annually ivas with- drawn when hé earned the dis- tlnction of being described as the greatest Lord ' Chancellor since Bacon. It appears that once a British lawyer sits on the Woolsack precedent debars him from again pleading before the Bench.

The fund being raised for the almost poverty-stricken family is being‘ privately subscribed. More than $150,000 has been collected. Blrkenhead made enemies but had many frlends- He had fine points that even his enemies liked in him. Many misunderstood when he was criticized for accepting the pension of $25,000 a year paid retired Dord Chancellors. They could not be ex- pected to know that a man who was living so magnificently could be so hard up as he appears to have been. Politics impoverished him, but. to recoup his spent fortunes he would] go into the City. He engaged in commerce, ln finance, in big busi- ness. He harried himself’ to make ‘money. He wrote books that were pot-boilers, and articles that were shoddy journalism. He capitalized on his name. But the effort came too late. Birkenhead must have been far spent when he bravely strode out of high public office to make money in private enterprise. Actual participation in business could not have been congenial to a man of his tastes, inclinations, brilliancy, exalted associations and experiences. Besides, he was a great counsel. Like many first-class lawyers he could manage other men's affairs, but not his own. He was paid fabulous sums for advice he could not give himself. He served clients better than he did himself. But; high politics served him perhaps worse. His friends now have to stand by his family. They wonder if the State shculd not make pro- vision for the dependents of’ the man who, so ironically, codified the law of property: Blrkenhead knew everything there was to be known of the law of the one ‘thing he hadn't when he died.
