Commenting on the dairy situa- tion in its issue of Jan. 2'1, the locrl Liberal organ refused to accept the assurance of dairy experts in other Provinces that the. butter industry would revive under tariff protection, arguing that on the contrary "dairy production from now on will b: low- ered." 1n yesterdays issue it quotes Mr. W.

All OUR MEDICAL DISCOVER- IE! REALLY NEW?

I am wondering if some of my readers are thlnkim, as I am, of some of the newer discoveries in medicine and how some of the "medicine men" of ignorant native tribesmen apparently knew some- thing about these things hundreds and thousands of years ago. You will reanember that some of their medicines were portions or soups made up of one or more of the different organs and glands of the body.

The St. Lawrence Deep Water-Way Problem

the general economic conditions on the continent of North America per- haps encompassed the whole of the St. Lawrence problem with the excep- tion of its material relation to the wheat situation. This latter point, however. is a. distinct feature in it- self and must be treated as a separ- ate discussion. 1t remains that if a clear view is to be obtained of the Canadian economic position, the fun- damental factcr to be apprehended is Canada's identity with, and unity in, the North American continent. This would appear to be axiamatic, but it is sometimes overlooked in Canadian economic discussions. Therefore if some of the effects of the St. Law- rence water-way on Canada are to be presented, and if the origin of the ag- itation for its construction is to be explained. it is first necessary to make
