The British Way

To people outside the British Empire the prestige and prerogatives, of a constitutional Monarch have always seemed something of a paradox. Our American neighbors particularly find difficulty in appreciating‘ the fact that Canadians are at the same time loyal to their Sovereign and to the principles of democracy. During the jubilee celebrations last year, ho\v- ever, some understanding of British sentiment was voiced in leading United States newspapers, and the following comment from the New York Times on that occasion expresses not only un- derstanding, but admiration, for a system of government which works with such permanency and success, \\'e quote:

"King GEORGE represents, in fact, the in- grained British idea of a “good” monarch. This has no reference to his personal benevolence and charities, which have been sufficiently marked, but to his public behavior in the Kingship. He has to be content to regard himself as little but a figurehead in the British Government. But what a figurchead that is! It means that British rule remains continuous and steady through all the changes of political circumstances. Parties may gain or lose office; Prime Ministers may come or go; laws may be repealed or made over; taxes may become increasingly burdensome; ,social conventions may be completely altered- yct all the while there is the person of the King at Windsor to assure the people that the British Constitution still stands, and that out of the party disputes and strife an orderly government will emerge again.”

And as was seen yesterday, even the death of the Sovereign does not cause the Throne to‘ be vacant. The Empire is never without a King. His Majesty, EDWARD VIII, has already taken 0W1’ the duties and responsibilities of his high office, and tomorrow, when his formal aqqgs- sion will be proclaimed, flags on, public build- mgs throughout the Empire will be hoisted m the mflsihtifld. and guns will thunder forth in salute.

Not the least of burdens placed on the new Sovereign will be the formalities of the next few clays, when the natural grief of a dutiful son over the loss of a loving father must. for the time being, be laid aside, and the call of duty obcyedin the minutest detail. '

Unemployment Commission

'At the recent Premiers’ Conference some steps were taken toward appointing a. national commission on employment. But the public does not: yet know what sort of a commission Prime Minister KING has in mind. The well-kno\vn “Politician With a. Notebook,” writing in Mac- Iearfr, says of it: ,

“There is, of course, Mr, Kinds proposed _!fll'l0l’1l.l commission on unemployment. No one now takes it very seriously, perhaps not even Mr. KING. It‘will be set up, but its report, if it

. ever docs report, is not likely to be acted on this

session." Such a non-political body, says the Finan- i ‘aiol Past, would be effective only if it were coni- prised of a small number of capable and active authorities. And it could do little more than advise. If politicians did not take the advice, the only result would be that a new way to spend money without result would have been devised. In brief, the fear is that the purpose of the KING commission is to divert attention from the relief racket and not to solve it.

brink Canada Up"

A strong appeal that the time has come when Canada might be “talked up" in Britain in contrast to the ‘talking down,” of recent years, is made by "Canada's Weekly," the only journal devoted to Anglo-Canadian interests published in the United Kingdom. It_ says: _

“A survey of Canada’s economic and _m- dustrial position shows how well the D0fl1lni011 withstood buffetings no less severe than her neighbors during the worst years of the de- pression and the progress she 1s now making along the road to recovery. '

“In not a few cases the difficulties en- countered duringthose years have proved a salutary experience which has enablfid C0066?!“ to put their houses in order. As a result the financial structure of many of the leading m- dustrial undertakings has been strengthened, costs have been reduced to reasonable levels and any tendency to extravagance ruthlessly cur- tailed. _

“Company earnings are showing a steady

¢ improvement, due iri part to a. measure of trade recovery, but also to careful management and - lower production costs. Further, there is an abundance of cheap’ money in Canada and

“i Great‘ Britain for the development» of proved

undertakings and the establishment _of_ sound new ventures, With these conditions, it 1S quite Mtqmltbat the B tish investor-should be again [dolghg a ‘field for profitable and

It is customary when a Monarch dies for all loyal subjects to go into mourning, publicly and privately. Public and private buildings are draped in purple and black, flags flown at half- mast, entertainments cut to a minimum, and the ordinary citizens arrayed in dark attire until after the obsequies. iii

Earl BEATTY, who has just retired as Ad- miral of the Fleet, on reaching the age of sixty- live, will best be remembered for the valiant part he played at sea. in the great war. First in the Heligoland Bight operation in i914, then in the terrific Dogger Bank action in i915, and a year later at Jutland, BEATTY lived up .to the highest traditions of British naval seamanship and won himself renown for his exploits.

VEGETABLES m 1.1011111 roam

“For the busy man who hates wasting his time at meals New York snack bars offer a machine which crushes up raw spinach, eanots, watercress, potatoes, apples and oranges and ‘extracts their juice. From its spigot runs apple-green ltqutd, a pint of which 1s guaran- teed to be a full size vegetarian meal ' complete with vitamins and miner- al salts. The meal takes half a minute to consume."

The above item from the Reader's Digest tells its own story. The 1m- portance of raw vegetables tn the diet because of the very necessary ivitamtns and minerals they eon- ; taln, has been so stressed by health , writers that. many readers feel that they must eat them daily 1f they are to be kept alive or at least 1n good health.

As a matter of fact vitamins and minerals are n‘ ‘ _, y to health and 1f they can be obtained so easily (as the above method) it may be a good thing for mankind. Further, the fact: that they are 1n the raw state means no loss o! min- erals, some of which are lost tn cer- tain fonns of cooking. '

Thus spinach contains the vita- mins A, B and 0, and the minerals time, phosphorous, and tron; car- rots contain vitamin A, B and c, and the mineral iron; potatoes con- tain the vitamins A, B and c and the minerals phosphorous and iron; apples contain vitamins A, B and C, bun have only traces of the hither- als; oranges have the Vitamins n, 3 and C, some lime, and slight; traces of phosphorus and tron.
