Speech from the Tihronc. In this connection Dr. Manion cited the rc- port of the Purvis Commission to the effect that

Dr. Manion is in agreement with the Com- mission in the matter of federal responsibility for uneniploynirnt, and also with the majority

that his Government is not getting credit for the huge sums it is spending in unemployment relief. “We arc taking money out of the Federal treasury in ‘millions of dollars and giving it to the provinces to help meet the cost of relief,” he says; “but instead of the Federal Government getting any credit at all for that the people are told that all this has come from the provincial governments themselves."

If Mr. King would recall his own campaign in 1935 against government “d0les", and his in- sistencc on the fact that it is the taxpayers who arc footing the unemployment relief bills, he would not bc so surprised at the public attitude towards his failure to adopt a more effective policy. “jobs or Doles, Which?" was the ques- tion the electors were asked to decide four years ago; and it was Mr. King, his followers and

Bennett Government had “spent or pledged $312,328,o98.o7 under the Relief Act”; and it interpreted this expcnditure, not as something creditable to the administration. but as “a ter- rible indictment of Tory policy for the un- employed." It pointed out that this money was coming from the taxpayers and urged all and sundry to “vote Liberal and getback from the Poorhonse."

The increase in taxation revenue since the King Government took office would more than account for its unemplyment relief disburse- ments. Yet in 1935 we recall that Mr. King, m a speech dclivcrcd here in Charlottetown, dc- noauced the then existing taxation rates as the greatest hindrance to employment. "There are very high taxes on the people,” he declared, “which affect the cost of living, and where the cost of living is high it is going to be equally

Liberal Budget Balancing _..__,_.

That “will-o'-t'he-wisp" of a balanced budget which our local legislators profess to be follow- ing, but without much success. has turned up in New Brunswick. The Government of that Pro- vince annpiinces, ‘for the second successive year, a snrphis on current account. Unfortunately- and for the second consecutive year—the net debt of the Province has been increased by more than nine million dollars. This achievement in Liberal "budget balancing" has been accompanied by increased taxation, as was to be expected.

Addressing the Lancashire Associated Colleries delegates in Caxton Hall, London, recently, the chairman of the departmental committee, Sir Walter Monckton, revealed that a “smokeless grate" had been invented and that as soon as the question of its several patents had been set-f tled it would be placed on the market and would, be found to be within the reach of the most

retained by the fog and increases its density. Nevertheless, it is recognized that a reduction in the quantity of smoke emitted by coal fires would be of benefit to the community. Although the grate that we have pcrfcctcd may not be literally ‘smokeless’, it will nevertheless dispose of unconsumed carbon dust (80 per cent of the smoke content) and make it available for future combustion."

A new source of wealth in Canada and the U.S.A. is-dcscribed by Mr. Paul S. Conger of the National Museum, Washington. He says he has discovered mud worth millions of dollars. It looks like ordinary muck, but really is made mostly of diatoms. These are miscroscopic marine animal shells which are pure silica. Mr. Conger says he found this kind of mud in sixty- four lake bottoms and bogs in Northern Wis-

ence of any kind will emerge as an ziciuality by Spring when the first high-powered, thunder- defying radio station in the world will be put in operation by Major Edwin H. Armstrong, Pro- fessor of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, inventor of the supcrhclerodync re- ceiver and other important devices in the field of communication. The new system, because El wipes out static, tube noises and interference, promises to replace the old method now in use in the same manner in which alternating cur- rent replaced direct current, Professor Arm- strong declares. If widely adopted all the par- lor radios now in use will become as obsolete as the radios of the earlyliiyioaare today. ¥

The first. step in the construction of a highway hrou h British Col- umbia and the Y on connecting the United States with Alaska has been made by the appointment, just announced from Ottawa, of a commission of five members to investigate the proposal from the Canadian standpoint. The Con- gress of the United States has also appointed a commission, of five members to ‘co-operate with the Canadian body. For some time the project has been under considera- tion. Action has undoubtedly been hastened by recent developments in the Far East. While the propos- ed hl hway would be valuable to stlmu ate tourist traffic and ce-
