U. S. Retaliates

Political chickens are coming home to roost in Nova Scotia. It will be recalled that as a vote-catcher in the last tilection, the Macdonald Government gave .'i'bniius to fishermen. Now the Lliiited States treasury department aniioun- ices the imposition of countervailing duties against imports of (lried, salted fish from Nova Scotia, the reason being the bounty paid 0n this product. The countervailing duties are not fixed but are (letcrniinetl as imports come in on the basis of bounties paid in Nova Scoti.'i.

Premier Macdtniald has made a remarkable statement in this connection. Ile says it is pur- posed. by wa_v of avoiding the duties. to ship NC\VfltllllillZlll(l fish to United States instead of Nova Scotia fish. He “did not believe the Am- erican Government would impose cottntervailing duties on such imports."

Maybe not. Rut what benefit will that be to the Nova Scotia industnv? Newfoundland will get the export trade through Nova Scotia, while Nova Scotia taxpayers pay the piper, and Nova Scotia fishermen lose their market.

What an example of “Liberal trade expan-

sion" methods! Bonusing fishermen to keep their product at home, and importing fish from ari- other country in order to export it to a country with which .116 have g reciprocal trade agree- merit! _ The Maclfonafd Government, of course, is not altogether to blame. If Mr. Mackenzie King had been as alert to the interests of Maritime fishermen as he was to the interests of Upper ‘Canadian distillers he would have obtained ‘something for them in the Washingtontreaty. 'As it is, they were left out in the cold; and it twas the unfavorable political reaction in Nova Scotia to this result that forced the Macdonald llovernineut, when seeking votes, to apply the “bonus” Plaster. -

And now, United States has ‘retaliated’ with gciuntcrviailing duties. That fatal word again, which used to give Mr, King the jitters!

-“H'ard Won Liberties l"-_

"ii Speaking the "other night at a. Liberal party banquet in Ottawa, Prime Minister Mackenzie

King lauded our “hard-won liberties" under {British democracy, and warned against the clan- ‘ger of “subversive,” measures leading to dictat- j prship.

f, For several months past a section of the ‘people of this Province have been striv regain their "hard-ivon liberty" of access to the courts of justice, of which they were deprived by the Campbell Government, and which l\lr. King himself has defined as a. basic right of pvery Canadian citizen.

Where do our federal Liberal representatives itand on this issue. which the Prime Minister is Q0 fond of discussing academically? \\'c have Senator Sinclair's confession that he has not gnven read the National Park Expropriation Act. ,M'hat about the others?

j Our dispossessed North Shore farmers must flcel that it is zidding insult to injury to be li-C- jltured from Ottawa on the duty of maintaining jklemocratic institutions by one in Mr. Kings ‘lposition. whose party provincially is responsible affor, the most subversive measure ever put on our Qtattites. and whose own followers in Parliament Qre aiding and abetting the Campbell Govern- ent in its inexcusable course.

Mr. King had the audacity to say that under onservative administration he had seen a "ten- ency toward dictatorship that has made me

udder, but _we settled that in the last general ection.”

If he Wallis a real good “sliudder" he should “home down here some time before the nextelec- tlon, preferably during a session of our “Star flCl-iamber" Liberal Legislature.

. Pioneer Aviation Relics

f‘ In the history of flying in (Xiittldzi, the .\l:iri- time Provinces have a much closer interest than may be thought by many, This historical link is recalled and eniphzi-izeil by a llL‘\\'$ zirticle in the Ottawa journal the other (lay. ltstzitcd that the engine of the Filvei‘ Dart, the first plane to fly in tianadii, ivas recently added to the acro- nutical museum of the National ltesczirch Coun-

t]. A. l). .\lct'urd_v, pioneer Canadian airman, made his historic flight nearly 3o years ago. Also added to the collection are propellor models carv- ed by the 'l:itc Alexander Graham Hell, most widely‘ known for his work on the invention of the telephone, whose home at liadrleck, ,\'...\i., was an early laboratory of aeronautical science, together with ancient kites which he had tuade. As an llfltltVl touch, the zirticle in the Ottawa Journal telling of the addition of the bilvei" 'Dart’s etigint- to the collection, states that the engine was salviigerl iii Nova Scotia from an old power boat, to whose use it had long bezn relegated. ‘

al Credit Fades Out i It is reported that .\lajor ('. ll. Douglas, “author of the Social (‘rcdit theory. will soon visit New Zealanrl. "Reasons for the proposer] visit have not been explninel," fll.‘ dispatch says, but the Sydney (.\itstrali:i) liulletin remarks that the reasons are I)l)\'l()l1§I “{1} The money is

markable. At first he had the excuse that Mr, Aberhart was a renegade to the cause, showed no interest in Social Credit legislation, and in- stead took financial advice from a pillar of orthodoxy named R. Magor, But now that Mr. .-\l)Cl'll-'ll'( has thrown orthodoxy to the winds, has passed Social Credit laws by the bas- ketful and is engaged (according to Major Douglas's own London paper) in a genuine ham. mer-antl-tongs battle with the banking octopug, One might expect the major to show signs of wanting to be. in at the kill. On the contrary, the major at this juncture feels an urge to de- part for the opposite side of the planet.

War Graves

No one who visits the European cemeteries containing the remains of members of the over- seas expenditionary force killed in the Great War can fail to be impressed with the beauty of the burial-places and the loving care with which they are maintained by the governments. In each cemetery, in a little bronze niche in the ivall, there are chained bookspone a register of the (lead, another a visitors’ book, with space for comment. It is moving to read the remarks of visitors, some of them written in the language of former enemies, but uniformly laudatory of the British effort on behalf of democracy and of the solicitucle displayed in commemorating the _, memory of the heroes who sacrificed all for a great ideal.

There are over one million graves in the care of the War Graves commission of soldiers from different Empire countries. A little volume, The Immortal Heritage, being an extremely in- teresting account of the work of the commis- sion for the past twenty years, by Sir Fabian Ware, has just been published, which gives par- ticulars of the different cemeteries, with photo- graphs of the memorials and graves, the “stone of remembrance,” the “cross of sacrifice," views of cemeteries in different countries, etc. It is a book to be read and prized.

ADVANTAGES

AND DIS AD -

ING TONSILS

| to the fact: that you have bad tons- ‘» lls surrounded by an throat, have a sore throat frequent- ly, have had pain in the joints and

‘ teeth and found no infection, your ,' tonslls should be removed. , You dislike the idea of an opera- 1 tlon, an anesthetic, the thought: of l evere hemorrhage of bleeding. , lasing tlme from your work and f expense of hospital stay. You want. to have your tonsils removed be- cause you know that rheumatism and heart disease often follow 1n- iected tonsils. Therefore you put. the tiue-tion squarely to your phy- sician. “What. about havlng my g tonsils removed by the electro- : coagulation method-diathermy?’ If you could spare the time and money, were in good physical con- dition, and did not mind taking’, l the anaesthetic. lt ls likely Lhtii. your physician would recommend the removal of the tonsils by surgery. With the patient under complete , anaesthesia both tonsils can be l completely and cleanly removed at

the one time-a matter of two_ or three days (sometimes longer) 1n the hospital. No weekly trips (6 to l2) to surgeon's office 1s necessary as with the elect-vo-caagulatlon method.

However there are certain ad- vantages about. this rionsurglcal method that make it suitable for many who must have their tonsils removed.

1. It 1s clone tn the surgeon's office; the patient loses just the time necessary to make the weekly visits. No interference with work, home or social life.

2. There 1s no bperazlon‘ and general anaesthetic with ll-s en- noylng and sometimes dangerous after effects-mnusea, vomiting, pneumonia, lung abscesses,

3. There ls less loss of blood, and the surgeon 1s not. bothered by having too much oozing of blood which sometmles makes operation difficult when tonsils are removed by surgery.

You can thus see that. the patient and physician have both the ad- vantages and disadvantages of electro-coagulatlon ‘method to con- alder when tonsils must. be m- moved. t

“This method cannot be used with small children or other eases where the cooperation or help of the patient 1s necessary."
