SOVIET ACTIVITY

It does not take much imagination to connect Soviet propaganda with certain happenings and agitation in this fair Dominion of ours. The British Government turned the Russian Armtorg, or trading commis. szon, out oi London because it was being used as a medium for Com- nunistic propaganda. The United Slates proved more pliable, and agreed to allow Ainborg ‘peaceabie tenure in New York, so long as the trade balance was in the favour oi the United States and which, of course, Ln present circumstances, it necessarily 1s. But Armtorg makes no secret of its using its position _ for propaganda purposes. It issues

at least two periodicals devoted t0

Dfimmllllifitifl trading and publicity, these being distributed free oi cost among newspapers in the United States and Canada. as well as among commeiiai instnutions and librar- ies. The headquarters of SOVlet propaganda are therefore for the present in New York. It is not un- likely, consequently, contradictions to the contraty notwithstanding, that s11 this scheming to land Canada 1n to close commercial relationship with Russia, is being engineered from New York. 1t takes money to carry on such a campaign and who would be more interested spending such enormous amounts than the country to be beucfiticd by its 51m. sets? All th's bartcrmg and schtm- ing to get Canada to trade with itnssia. ‘s for Russia's benefit more than ours, though the propagandists arr shrewd enough so advertise ‘.1: ' preposition that 1t looks as though. Canada would be standing in her own light in not falling for it.

That is the Snflct among capitalists, and industrialists.

Among the labouring classes Slot-W vies propaganda takes another form; l9 WIN all emhlvyed and unemploy- ed labour to take a sta-nd for mssnploym insurance on a non- ccntrihxtcry basis, and to hold dem- Oflllmtidns to compel the Govern- ment to listen to them.

Could any scheme more comme- heaiaive or diabolical be conceived than that now in operation to force Canada ma. a second sol/m. n is well that the Dominion is in the hands of s. strong government who refuses t0 be ltimidated 0r brow- beaten by the pcopagandists of s.

TOURIST MEETING

There should be a representative gathering of those interested in the progress and dcvlopmcnt of the Pro- vince at the annual meeting oi the Tourist Association this evening. In "W59 days when tnrif barriers and other olntruciinna are playing havoc with intcriwaiicnal i-radc and com- merce, it is good to have practical demonstrations oi‘ what free and untrammcliccl conunun cation mcnna in the progress and development oi a coulltiy.

A

dollar in the states tended to make Canadians seek rest. and recupera- tion within the Dominion itself, and no better or more attractive place than here could be found for the purpose.

Albhvush there need be no great expectation of tourist developments this year. yet it is our business to follow the principle of “those we have we hold," going arm- those who have previously been with us, and to interest others to follov: in their train.

The ‘Ipurist Association is excel- lently managed, and conducted, and business people and others will be showing their appreciation of the fact by attending the annual meet- ing this evening.

FIELD CROPS IN 1932

The total value of Dominion field crops in 1032 is estimated to be $424,057,900 as compared with $426,- 656,400 in 1931 according to prelim- inary figures released by the Bureau oi Statistics.

The total area sown to the prlxi- cipal crops in 1932 was 59,606,000 “Hts whereas in 1931 it was 57,988,- 627. The acreage oi wheat increased from 26,114,650 to 27,182,000; 1n. creases were registered in all prov- inces. Oat acreage was 13,149,000 as compared with 12,871,341 in 1931. The acreage of barley showed little change, the acreage in 1932 be;ng 3,757,600 while in 1931 it. was 3,- 768,269. The acreage oi rye was 773,800 or about 4,000 acres less than in 1931. Acreage devoted to flax was 453.700. a reduction oi 161,700 acres from that sown 1n 1931. The acreage 01' Potatoes also showed a. decline in 1032. 521,500 acres were planted as compared with 583,926 in the prev- ious year. The acreage of hay and clover lnneased from 8,532,369 to 8,811,600. Alfalfa occupied 666,100 acres as compared with 557,360. Fod- der corn showed a very slight 1n- creasc from 836.192, to 337.600. According to Mr. Weir. on his rec- ent visit here, the policy oi farmers should be the restriction oi acreage rather than expansion until pnces of farm produce are more in hanrwny with the prices of goods which the farmer must buy.

CHEAPER TEA

In the twelve months ended No- vember Canada imported a total of 40,345,888 pounds of tel. mcluding both the green and black varieties. This compared with 38,427,722 in the twelve months ended November 1931. These figures seem to show that Canadians are drinking more tea today than they were a year ago. The undoubted effect of cheap- ness of consumption is evidenced 1n this instance.

111s import for the twelve months

- ended November, totalling 40,345,888

pounds was valued st $6,029,653; while the 33,427,722 pound import oi the same period last year was valued at $6,744,642, but 6,900,000 more pounds were consumiai.

‘I110 import of coffee in November amounted to 2.688.464 pounds, an increase oi 790,553 pounds over the import 0f October and oi 218.784 l>°l1h<i5 over the import oi November last year.

The revolution which was expected by some to follow their en- franchisement has not occurred. The fact is that a great proportion of the older generafion of Women care nothing for the vote. taking the stand that politics belongs to men and that women, should not lu- teriere-i nthat arena, The younger generation of women are not con- cerned with the stupid business oi_ governing the provinces, the cities and the Dominion. They are num- erically strong but they have made no concerted movement to abolish evils in which they might be ex- pected to be peculiarly interested.

The two states- men studied law together in the same Kingston otfice. In discussing their future, they both confesed to a liking for politics. Having no particular prcdilections at. the time. they agreed to decide by the tossing of a coin which pariy each should join. The coin was Iilpped—Sir John became a great‘ Conservative lead- er, and Mowat became an outstand- ing Liberal leader. Whether true or not, the story is worth rcpcatills-

JNDIGESTION FROM QIMPLI CAUSES

You suffer with "indigestion" and your doctor by the use of test; menlg or the X. ray. or both, 1mg been able w assure you that you have no ulcer, no cancer, no lnflgmmgflgn of the lining oi the stomach,-

As these are the three outstand- ing ailments in real or organic stomach trouble it is oi course very gratifying to know that you arc free of them.

But what is causing your indig- csiion?

In the majority of cases it is due to some faulty habit on your part- esting too rapidly, or swallowing large pieces oi tfood, or not chew- ing your food sufficiently.

Dr. s .W. Patterson, London, re- minds‘ us that gulps of air u; often swallowed with hurriedly taken food and drink, and give rise to distension oi the stomach. There are some simple suggestions that should be followed, once it is de- finitely known that there is no or- ganic trouble.

The practice of taking solid foods and fluids separately is s. simple but often successful means oi preven- tion.

The teeth should be examined and those found to be painful or infected removed and well fitting artificial teeth supplied.

Pus swallowed from infected teeth and gums, tonsils, orthe sin- uses will readily interfere with the movements of the stomach and cause indigestion.

Another cause in perhaps 25 per- cent oi the cases is the use of coal tar drugs for headaches, muscular pains, and fatigue. -

Sometimes the meals am too close together and part o! the previous meal is still lying in the stomach when the next meal is taken. This may be because of the naturally slow action oi the stomach 1n re- moving food into small intestine or because the individual is worried or tlrccl.

A simple but effective method. nxcntioned before, to make sure of an empty stomach for meals is to lie down on the right side for about fifteen minutes before cach "will. and anything lying in the stomach should drain or syphon out into the small intestine.

Don't suffer with indigestion. If thcre is no real liver or stomach trouble causing the trouble remem- ber the above suggestionsiiiid tryto locate and remove the cause.

Concerning Wildcats

y (Exchange)

Halifax is the largest city in the Maritimes and perhaps most people read with surprise the news item oi Monday to the effect that. bounties had been paid one hundred and Dsld on one-hundred and seventy Wildcats killed in Halifax County last year. This, probably, exceeded the killing in any other county in m9 Provinces, if not in the Domin- ion, but the Halifax cost is par- ticularly rugged and rocky, the wooded arcs. affording shelter for the treacherous little animals found in many parts of Easlem Canada and the United States. A New York find and Gun writer tells of the different species of wildcsts and their habits. He says:

Bobcats have appeared agafn in Canopus Hollow, in the Hudson Highlands, according to my friend the game warden, who reports hav- ing heard a cat squsliing on the ridges several times this fall. Can- opus Hollow is a wild wooded stretch containing almost, every variety of wild life native to this part. of the country. A half-down 0r so bobcsts have been trapped on s large estate in the Hollow during the last few years.

Two species of Wildcats, the Can- adn lynx and the bobcat or Bay lynx, are found in our local forests. The Canada lynx is larger and heav- lcr than its American cousin which, in the wild stole, seldom exceed forty pounds. The Canada lynx is mrc in this part. oi the country, sl- iliough they have been reported from Pennsylvania, which is, pos- sibly, the southernmost limit. of their range, The bobcat is found as far south as the‘ Gulf Swlcs.

Oomparatlvely little is known concerning the bobcat, although 1t ls fairly plentiful in the wilder wood- ed section even in close proximity oi New York. It is seldom seen, even by hunters and fishenncn. If by" chance it is sighted, it usually i; headed somewhere else and seem-

homes to which Christmas did not. mean very much but cn the other hand this winter there has been no real reason why there should be the absolute suffering through lack of fond, clothing and fucl that appar- entiy was common ovcr a hundred

years ago \

Soviet Trade Offer

The bobcat 1s yellowish-brown or grayish above, spotted with dark markings on the sides, white below, also spotted. Its face ruff, which gives it an owlish appearance, is streaked with brown.

The litter generally contains irom three t0 tlvc kittens, which, in this region, are thought to be born in April or Mlay. Their dens usually are located in hollow logs or small caves. They teed largely on game birds, mice and small game, but occasionally they are successful In killing a. deer or fawn.

The bobcats cry somewhat re- sembles that of a strong-voiced do- mestic cat. It also produce weird caterwauling sounds difficult to de- scribe. Possibly these sounds an employed when hunting to frighten the game into a rush. But by no means all oi the night. screams heard in the deep woods arc emitted by bobcats. The fox is a good screamer- on occasion, and the larger owls, such as the great horned and snow owls, someitmes give voice to the most blood-curdling speech- es or yells.

Ii the bobcails size and strenxth equaled its stupidity and nasty temper, it might be classed as a dangerous animal. It has been said that. if the American cougar possess- cd the fighting spirit or the bobcat it would be one oi the most clank- emus animals on earth.
