In _a recent address at a flnqnet ,in his honour in London by the Royal Society, referring to the new term .“B‘riti_sh Common- fffllth 0f Nllions." Lord Twaeiisuiiiit said :

I_like_ the worddjlmplre and intend to continue

The British Commonwealth of Nations is doubtless a more correct. gggq-ipgim o; our lmiwiia! policy. but ‘Empire’ is "s word with noble historic associations consecrated by great literature!‘- ’ ‘ In smart political circles, says The Globe, it may be regarded as old-fashioned to talk of the Empire, but Empire is what is in the thought of people withcld-fashioned notions of loyalty _—-and of patriotism. Such-Britons and such ideas wear well. And these people-especially in Canadaa-ivill be well pleased that the term Empire is good enough for the Dominica's new Governor-General. ». '

' Are The Electors So Gullible‘? _

‘ins-position, which no other leader is ‘in, of 0f Canada’s problems and the measures adopted

to meet them. -

An outstanding feature of PnEuiEii which they are making to the oungu- gen". ation. MR. BENNETT has no use or the doctrine of laissez faire, whether‘ in ‘politics or in phil- osophy. Years and experience have taught him that problems are not solved by marking time, that progress inevitably spells change and ‘re- adjustment to existing conditions, His legislat- ive record of reform of capitalistic abuses, is unprecedented since Confederation, and goes‘ as far in this direction as it is safely possible to go within the limits of the constitution. But he is not stopping with this achievement. His plans for future reform, through constitutional changes to be effected with the co-operation of the Provinces, are 0f even greater interestjand importance t0 the country at this time.

Political Interference

a The LEA Government has. not lost time in playing partisan politics with the- permanent highway projects, The agreement with the Do- minion Government in‘ connection with these projects provides that there shall be no-discriiii- ination against anyone 0n account either of religious or political affiliations, and this pro-

vision the MacMmLAN Government strictly adhered to, even to their own detriment politically. '

Today the situation has changed with a vengeance. Workmen suspected of Conservative sympathies are being discharged and replaced by “true-bluc" Liberals, rmny of them with records of active participation in the last provincial election. In one instance the foreman not -the contracting company‘ refused _to . discharge good men at the bidding of -the new Liberal dictators, but pressure was brought to bear on one of the "higher-ups” and the shift was made for the benefit of Liberal heelers. This violation of the

Federal’ agreement is in keeping with the high-

handed methods of the LEA Government, some of whose members insisted on bossing the public works officials even before they were sworn into office. Their present course in contravening the agreement by political interference is calcu- lated to cause a holding up of the Federal grant, which would be a bad thing'for the Province and for the unemployed as well. ‘ .

Now, ln o;~der‘to show how ut- terly impracticable Joint meetlnfli would be in the present political campaign, supposing the three as- sociations got together and R6994 to all meeting ln a certain dls- trict on the same night.

PAlN ll NATURE'S » SIGNAL

Pnyslclu-iu these days must be as- tonlshed .at the increase in _tn_e number of new drugs for reltevliig pain. Pain’ la not. only hard.to bear but lt ls very wearing on mind and body. That there are drula that can allay pain in emergencies without creating a drug "habit" or causing a great depression of spirits fa a great boon to mankind. - However pain fa a protest of a nerve or nerves tn various parts of the body against something that has gone wrong. Pain ls Nature's wanting that trouble la present and that this trouble should be looked for at once.

Someone has aptly said that pain is a "signal" to the sufferer and that instead of trying to destroy the alg- iicl he should try to find out just wiiai the signal (pain) is trying to point out to him. <

Now there are some pains that are readily recognized such as the pain ln the right lower part of the ab- domen whfch remains there for some time and which la usually due to appendicitis. Then there ls the pain of ‘pleurlsy which Js made worse by breathing; the pain 1n the stomach due to unripe or overrlpe frut

When the cause of the pain la known there ls no reason with nev- ere pain why a pain relieving drug should not be used.

However as the great’ majority of ailments begin with or have pain present at some time, the kind‘ of pain and its exact location ls usu- ally studied by the physician before anything ls done to relieve the pain.

You can readily see that if some, drug is given to relieve pain ln the head. chest, over the heart, in the stomach or abdomen, tn upper or lower back, or elsewhere tn the body before the cause of the paln la learned, then the real cause is not likely to be found. ‘This may iillow the ailment to progess when ft fa most important that lts progress be stopped.

Now a severe pain may mean a simple ailment, and a alight pain a severe ailment, but the physician must be allowed sufllclent time to study the pain before the patient! request for something to relieve the pain may be granted. ' _
