1 Abdication Procedure

I1' the British constitutional dilennna is to hc

solvcil by Kixt; l£Dw.\i<D's abdication. this will bc 1l1e third case in the whole course of ling- Ialid`s history in wliich its Throne has been so vacated. The only tivo abdicatioiis on record. o11c formal and the other dc facto, are those of l{icllAl1D the SECOND in 1399 and _IAM1-is the S1~;co:~'i1 in 1688. Ricii11RD’s abdication, signed under duress while he was in the power of his cousin and successor, Henry Duke of Lancaster, was followed shortly afterwards by his murder :intl ended thc near two and a half century dyn- asty of the House of Plantagenet. That of _l,\si1-:s the SECOND did not take the form of a signed document, but was a “constructive abdi- cation" consisting of two steps-the King’s flight from England and Parlian1eiit`s subse- qiieilt action in declaring the Throne vacant be- cause of his unconstitutional conduct and his improper absence from the Kingdom. He was succeeded by his daughter MAKY and her hus- band, \\'ii.i.iAi\i, Prince of Orange.

Under the act of parliament which placed

\\`1i.l.i.\ii the THIRD and his wife l\‘lAii\' thc .\`i<:co:\'D on the Throne,-a statute which is one of the vital constitutional enactments of British history--it is provided that the King cannot ahdicate without the consent of both Houses of Parliament. A signed renunciation therefore by Kino EDWARD of his Throne, and all pres- ent and future claims thereto, must be confirm- ed by act of Parliament before it will involve .1 legal ahdication. The con\'ictioi1 that events are conspiring inevitably towards this outcome. is rapidly gaining ground.

A barrage of questions, levelled at two of-

ficials of the 'United States Chamber of Com- merce relative to the Canadian trade agree- ment, brought from Mr. D. L. james, manager nf the national cl1a.mber’s agricultural service, a reply that the trade pact is not a fixed policy of the U.S. government. “There may be changes. Remedy to our advantage has not yet been perfected," he told ‘members of the agri- cultural department of the Portland Chamber. Mr. C. E. Grelle, chairman of the agricultural committee of the Portland group, who led an attack on the trade pact, had asked why such an agreement was allowed to become a law and said "uncertainty was holding back both agri- culture and industry."

It looks very much as if the present

meeting of the National Finance Committee at Ottawa will be made the occasion for some new or renewed demands upon the Dominion by the provinces, those provinces, at any rate, which have been feeling the financial pinch most acutely, says the Montreal Gazette. If this hap- pens the question of establishing some form of federal control over provincial financing, such control as was envisaged in the Loan Council plan, will be forced to the front again and will have to be settled. If the Dominion is to stand behind the public debts of the provinces, either now or after any process of refunding has been completed, there will' have to be some limitation upon provincial borrowings and the extent of that limitation will have to be determined by the authority whose credit is involved. The meet- ing of the committee is to take .place on Decem- ber 9 and the western provinces, according to the Winnipeg Free Press, will be particularly interested in the question of rcfunding_ of pro-

vincial debfl at lower rates of interest. ,

Imports of Canadian tobacco to

Great Britain during the flrs-1. nine months of 1936 totalled 8,143,633 pounds, as compared with 6,194,196 pounds for the corresponding period 1 of 1935. The excellent and large crop of flue-cured in Canada ln 1935 was well regarded by British manufac- turers and heavier purchases resut- ed. This tobacco is now reaching Great Britain. It is anticipated, states the Canadian Trade Commis- sioner ln London, England, that by the end of 1936, the total quantity , imported from the Dominion will bc greater than for a number of years.

WATER AND WEIGHT

There are arguments from time

to time about whether or not drinking large quantities of’flulds- water, tea, coffee, soft and hard drinks-increase; the amount of fat in the body. Thus we find those who are thin trying to put on some fat by drinking large quant- ities of fluid, and those who are fat cutting down on liquids so as to reduce their weight.

As a matter of fact, drinking

large quantities of liquids will not increase the amoimt. of fat ln the body, nor will cutting down on liquid; reduce the amount of fat. But, cutting down on liquids will reduce the weight (but not the fat) of the body.

Thus we find that jockeys.

boxers, and others who have to “make” 11 definite weight at a definite hour on a definite day not only keep down the amount of starch and fat foods but cut down more particularly their liquids. Thus lt ls a common saying among these individuals that they are "drying out". Some jockeys and boxers often git. down to wlthln three to five pounds of the desired weight arid then make no further reduction ln their food intake because they know that they can get rid of the last three to five pounds by simply drying oilt; that is doing without all liquids for two or three days.

It has been shown that while an

active tissue like muscle allows but

small amount of water to enter

into its cells. an inactive tissue like fat (which is just a. "storage" or fuel tisuc) allows a. great amount of water to enter into each individual cell. so that every pcund of fat can hold three pounds of water. It can thus be seen, that if by hard exercise, heat, gland extracts or drugs, one solid pound of fat is removed, and with it. three pounds of water, the overweight individual actually loses four pounds of weight.

Thx matter of water being held

in the tissues and fluid: of the body is receiving careful study as lt is possible that underweights who get tired of drinking milk to increase weight may, by :persistent drinking or the 111111: for other fluids) for alittle longer period, increase weight. and on the other 'lend _vyerweiehfs by cutting down on liquids for a longer period may fuddenly decrease weight con- slderably.

In either cate the exlleriment of

inCl'€8Sl!1K or decreasing the amount of fluids should be cried for not less than four or more than six weeks.

(Winnipeg Free Press)

When Mr. Aberhart gets around 2

to the buslnessof licensing the 1 press in Alberta. it is to be hoped he will do it up ln style and ac- cording to the best authorities. For these he will have to go back ' three centuries to the days of the 1 Stuart despotlsms; but there he will find, lnbedded in the state documents, views about the press and its relations which should ~xlst between it and the Ruling Minds which will check up closely rlth his own ideas upon the sub-

ject.

There was, for instance, King

James I, who discovered _ to his horror. ln the year 1620, that there were appearing in his realm at 'ntervals printed sheets contain- ing news items and comments thereon. Accordingly, on Dec. 24 of that year, he issued a blast "against excesse of lavish and llcentious speech of matters of state" ln the form of a. proclama- tion. In this he expressed his con- cern at discerning ln this periodi- cal press “a. greater openesse and llbertie of dis-course, even oon- cernlng matters of state (which are no Theames or subjects fit ~for vulgar persons or common meetings) than hath been tn for- mer tlmes used or permitted."

The proclamation proceeded:

“Forasmuch as lt to como to our

eares by common report: that there ,ls at this time a more licentlous passage of lavish discourse and bold censure in matters of State than hath been heretofore, or ls fit to be suffered. We have' thought lt necessary by the advice of Our Privy Council, to give fore- warntng unto Our loving subjects of this exeesse and presumption.

and every of them, from t.he high- est to the lowest, to take heede how they lntermeddle by Penne or speech, with causes of State -and Secrets of Empire, either at home or abroad. but comain them-1 selves within that modest and rev- erent regard of matters above their reach and calling that to good and dutiful subjects appertalneth."

If Mr. Abel-hart, following this

precedent. should decide to pro- ceed by way of proclamation he might well consider reproducing this document, spelling 111111 1111. 11

truth and the prevention of error in the mutter of opinion are in- dispensable functlons of the state." There we have lt. Truth is not what it ls but what the gov- ernment wants lt to be, If Mr. Aberhart licenses the press, lt will be because he proposes to do the determining of what ls to be re- garded as truth in Alberta.
