The situation in thil regard was very ably described by the member for Vancouver Cen- tre, Hon. 1-1. l-l. Stevens, in his con- tribution to thc debate. One of the twoints stressed by Mr. Stevens-and it is a pertinent one-is that thc Finance Minister has given no in- formation as to the effect of his tar- iff changes upon taxation and rcv- rnuc. l-le has given no hlnt as to the means whereby he expects to raise the four hundred millions that. will be required for the current fiscal year, an extra-ordinary omission from the budget. but not less extra- ardinarv than the Ministers absence from the House during the debate itself.

CAUSE OF IIIGI-I BLOOD PRESSURE

Dr. Williams who examines applic- ants for the state police in Massa- chusetts says that when several men have to wait in an anteroom for half an hour or more for physical exam- ination they oftcn have a high blood pressure when they comc into the ex- animation room. but if a man can be put off for some reason until next morning. he is examined quietly, and his blood pressure is found to be within normal limits.

Dr. W. It. Houston, Augusa, 6a.. tells us that hc was in China for four years and during that time he never saw a case of high blood pressure ex- cept in kidney ailments.

l-lc attributes this normal or low blood pressure in thc Chinese to their philosophy of life. their acceptance of things, no inncr struggle against their fate in life.

And yct when thc Chinese come to live in Great Britain or America their blood pressure goes up. Also when Europeans or Americans in China for a number of years their blood’ pres- sure goes down until it is about thc same as that of the Chincse.

Now what is thought to bc the rcri- son that thc blood pressure of thc Chinese goes up in a foreign land. and that of thc foreigner goes down whilst living in China.

United States census returns Show that the farm populat on continues ‘to decline.

Editorial Notes

The real votc of "want of confi- dence" will be taken on election day without the clang of division bells or the urge of the party whips.

The local Liberal organ admonish- es its party to present a united front in indicating lo Prime Minister King its choice of a Minister of Fisheries. The admonition is timely. idcntly necessary.

It is said Premier King's speech announcing the elections lasted but seven minutes, but it got him into the headlines ahead of Mr. Benenit. Premier King's five-cent speech got

him into the headlines too, but his supporters wish it hadn't.

Of special interest among recent Federal publications is the 1929 re- port of Dr. E. S. Archibald. director of Dominion Experimental Farms. Established in 1807, the experimental farms system has developed from the five original stations located at Ottawa. Nappan. N. s.. Brandon. Mair. Indian’ Head. Sash. and Ag- assiz. B.

When British {rule seriously began after thc mutiny 'the ﬁrst attempt made was to bring the numerous local governing bodies of village cldlers under some legal form and establish instruction schools in every community for thc advanc- ing of ability to look after themselv- es among the natives. _ln 1882 Lord Ripons Government made this at- tempt its main programme, dividing the work among municipalities for urban areas and district, boards for rural communities. By 1925-26 there were 767 municipal boards covering about, 19,000 inhabitants. and union committees, union boards and dis- trict boards numbering over. 3.735. with 43,200 members. of whom more than 70 per cent. were elective, a proportion that is increasing cvcry year. These municipalities and boards have control of roads (local), sani- tation. instruction. housing schemes, irrigation, segregation of offensive occupations. and practically cvcry phase of life that touches the vast majority of the native Hindus inti- mately. Two chicf obstacles have rc- tardcd this work of self-government.
