Debunking U. S- War Heroics

In February, 1918, ten months after the United States entered the war, General Pershing, in France, was still complaining of executive stupidity and lack of initiative "back home" in the United States. This comes out in his book on the World War. By the end of January there were‘ only 120,000 American combat troops in France, 34.000 engineering troops, ind 61,000 belonging to supply services. It was at this time, February, 1018, that the American Commander-in- Chlef grew annoyed with those Am- erican newspapers which were pub- lishing columns about how the Am- ericans were already winning the war. Here is one cable which, in his Justi- fiable anger, he dispatched to tho War Office at Washington.

“Newspaper clippings from United States received here to effect that United States has thousands of filers in France and that thousands of American airplanes are flying above the American forces in Eur- ope today. As a matter of fact, there ls not today a single American- made plane in Europe. In my opin- ion such bombastlc claims in the American press have had the ef- fect of materially stiffening Ger- man production."

British Tariff Reform

In flrlat Britain the cause of tariff ‘reform makes progress in a direction pleasing gp Canada. The National Council of Industry, of which Sir Wil- liam Morris, the great automobile manufacturer, is chairman. has issued a. manifesto demanding absolute tar- lll‘ equality between agricultural and manufacturing industries. Specifical- ly. the manifesto insists on a tax on foreign ‘imported foodstuffs and a quota for homegrown wheat at a guaranteed price. The document points out that $1,- 250,000,000 worth of foodstuffs. im- ported annually into Great Britain, might be grown in the British Isles, while the rest of the country's re- quirements can be produced ln oven- ‘seiportlons of the Empire. The manl- ieiw, moreover. draws attention to the fact that only seven per cent. of Britain's working populatln is engag- ed in agriculture. This situation is de- nounced ns a. fundamental cause o1 the country's present troubles. and as due to the persistent sacrifice of the countryside to the supposed needs of lite towns. It ls. in a why; curious that ‘ such representations should comu from g body of manufacturers which includes the best industrial and com- mercial brains in the United King- Cam. ‘ ‘rho eltuotlor. has become acute. out the Ila his the "I10 4136111 ll II-

Two great thlnn fire has done. It has extended man's reach, and it has broadened his grasp. And so it has given‘ him all the earth and the sea for a. kingdom. Man uses fire for two purposes in hi; domestic economy— to heat his home and to cook his ‘food. Cooked food has given him a

' vastly wider dietary than he could

. have had had he been confined to

new vegetables and meats, fruits and

seeds, and this wider dietary, and the

ability which fire has also conferred,

of living in ‘those fruitful regions of 1 the earth Outside the tropics, have! gredtly enlarged man's kingdom. Had , it not been for fire. the human race] must‘ have been confined to the land areas, thirty-five degrees or so north‘ and south of the equator. It is notable of course, that no important‘ advanc- ;es in‘ clvillzotlon have come from equatorial regions. So there would be ‘left only‘ a narrow fringe north and south, in which civilization could de- elop.

We live in what is known as the ma- chine age. and of that age. flre was the mother. Machines are made of metals, andfire has made the work- ing of metals possible. Take away ifrcm our civilization metals and all that metals have brought and there isn't very_'much left. Take away fire and the metals vanish.

Rich in nickel, cobalt and other minerals, even gold and silver, Can- ada is poor in iron and steel, yet it is claimed that these two metals are more essential today than all the others combined. We import one-half the coal we consume and every pound of iron that we utilize. Therefore our boasted superiority in metal wealth ls more apparent than real. It is es- sential, therefore, that cauada should endeavor to make her production as varied as possible. This is being rec- ognized rnore and more by those busi- ness men who are applying themselv- es to dgreater developmentof our re- sources in coal, iron and oil.

BELTS FOI- IIOWII BACK

At a large railway station one morning I noticed that all the port- ers handling baggage wore wide bells closely strapped about the low- er back and abdomen.

As one saw a. porter handle as

one time, it was not hard to guess the reason they wore the wide tight belts, which ran through hoops in the outer garment to prevent them slipping up and down.

These belts were to prevent ltraln of the lower back, an ailment so common that it is often mistaken for and treated as rheumatism.

When you bend over and straight;- en up again, particularly if you are lifting some object, the entire weight of that object comes upon the lower back at the Joint where the last spine bone meets the hip bones. The joint here ls,nct a deep one like the ball and socket joint of the hip or shoulder Joint, but is just one flat bone joined to another flat bone, and held by ligaments. When too much strain is put on. these lig- aments give or stretch slightly and owing to pressure upon the nerves in the region there is real pain. This i pain is called lumbago, or if it is in ghips or down the leg it is called 1 sciatica i And so when you lift an object. intake a step downward when you thought you were walking on the level, make a sudden turn sideways, as in playing tennis or golf, or other game, don't get it into your head that you are developing rheumtalsm, as it is likely a strain of the joint above mentioned.

Now don't try to "work the pain out" by exercise. You should act- ually lie dnwn for two or three days and give the ligaments if stretched or tom slightly, a chancg m qgt healed up again. You should be carc-

iul for at least two or three weeks. If the pain is severe the joint

should strapped up with 2 inch adhesive tape for a week, the strap- ping then removed and new strap- ping applled for another week.

To‘ get the exact place on which 1° HDl-lly the strapping, make sure that it is at least one inch below the cuter projection of the hip bone at the side, then pull strongly across thu small of back to the same point. on the other aide. Two or three strips is sufficient.

Don't bring it across the front of the body at Jll.

I1’ you still have pain at the end of two weeks see an orthopedic spec. ialist who will adwst a. brace, the lower belt of which comes acrozs the affected joint and supports it,

A Constitutional Issue ( ‘ al I uettl)

Headings have been mule repent edly and seriously for abolition r all Cmodi t appeals to the Prlv.‘ Qgungll, 5nd possibly the tilnd m8. come when changes will be made, a for u Canada is concerned, in the appellate jurisdiction cf-the Judlcal Committee in London. But the nature of two important issues which provincial authorities who have raised them seem anxious to refer to that high tribunal tends to strength- en a conviction that persists that, even in the functions of the LBW Lords eventually are limited, itgshall always remain a Canadian prerog- ative to submit questions which call for constitutional lnterpretation to the decision of the Privy Council a' a court of lest resort.

One of the questions now pending is a sequel to the transfer of the natural resources of the Prairie Pro~ vinces from federal. to provincial cohtrol and administration. A special subsidy granted to Saskat chewan and Alberta by the Domlnior. Government in compensation for the withholding of their natural resources at the time of. their autonomy reconciled these prov- lnces for a period to the deprivation of what they claimed was alprlmary right. But with the passing of time the force oi public opinion behind the demand of the western pro- vlnces for the return of their natural

It was con- tended that the Dominion Govern- ment's accounting for the resources should date back, not merely to 1005, when Saskatchewan and_ Alberta became autonomous which waswhe limit of the federal concession-but to 1870, when Rup» art's Land and the _ Northwest Territories, out, of which these two provinces were carved were admitted into and became part of the Domin- ion of Canada.

transfer of the natural resources t1 the provinces named were regarded as generous, but as something more generous is desired by the authori- ties directly concerned. the con- stitutional question is raised whether the Federal authorities shall be held to an accounting for alienated land". over a. period of sixty years instead cf twentyflve years.- Since neither of the two‘ provinces is satisfied with the negative decision just Elven by the- Supreme Court of zCanada, to which- tribunal the question was
