l Before this issue 0f The Guard- ‘an reaches many of its readers, t0- lay's election will be well un- ler way. The Conservative party leader, his candidates and sullllflfl- H's who have been in close contact with the campaign feel confident that the victory will go to the party with a platform and a policy-the party that is in line with the pro- gressive Conservative administration It Ottawa, that has already obtain- ed a subsidy increase of $165,000 under an adverse federal adminis- tration and can be depended upon lo press vigorously upon a friendly administration for n final and com- plete settlement of this most vital question. On this issue alone, if the electors consult their bcst interests as we feel confident they will, a Conservative Government under the experienced ‘leadership of Hon. J. D. Stewart will ‘be in power in this Province for the next four years at least.

The success of the Conservative members of Parliament from this Province in arranging for the car ferry “Prince Edward Island" to be repaired at Charlottetown instead oi‘ being sent to Saint John or Hali- fax, as has been the case under a federal Liberal administration, is but an indication of what can be accomplished for this city and Province by the united efforts of two Conservative Governments. working in co-operation and har- lnony.

There is every indication of an exceptionally large votc being polled in today's contest. Interest through- out the Province has been centered on the election issues for several weeks, and the meetings have been very largely attended. It must not Abe forgotten that it is the duty, as well as the privilege, of every elect- or to poll his or her vote.

The Conservative leader and his candidates have done their part in presenting, fully and convincingly, the issues before the electors. Their campaign has been tremendously successful, and it now devolves up- on Conservative party workers and believe in responsible and economical govern-

electors generally who

The Parliamentary Session

' ‘The first regular session of Par- liament since the general election of a year ago -prorogucd on Monday. But for the Bcauhnrnois inquiry- which has resulted in Government action that, it is confidently believ- ed will be adequate to the exigencies -~and the fact; that the Govern- ment's unemployment and agricul- tural relief plans were unavoidably delayed due to the difficulty of sec- uring complete information upon conditions actually prevailing, pro-

_without imposing too heavy a drflg lupon the country's buslnes, already

suffering from the world-wide de- presslon. Mr. Bennett submitted a list of some two hundred tariff changes, designed to strengthen the primary as well as the secondary industries of the Dominion, and the WlSd0lll_ShOlVn in the selection of commodities and in the adjustment of duties. has been manifest in the remarkable unanimity of public ap- proval; fndccd, it may be said in this respect the tariff changes ef- fected during this session have had no precedent in the long list of tar- iff revisions made by other govem- merits, Conservative and Liberal.

- In the House of ‘Commons, the Premier was criticised on the score that he had introduced a rich man's budget, and this complaint served the useful purpose of eliciting a statement showing something of the actual conditions which the changes are intended to rectify. For ex- ample, Mr. Bennett informed the House that of 22,742 concerns with an aggregate capital of $8,442,229,- 400, no fewer than 15,327, having an aggregate capital of $2,683,431,999. were not accessible for taxation in 1930, having sustained a net loss of 598063.567 and these corporations paid out in salaries and wages the great sum of $388,659,062. The net gain of the 7,415 corporations who were accessible in that year was $403,428,323 and the corporation tax paid by them, allowig for‘ exemp- tions of $14,830,000, was $31,087,866. The capital employed by these cor. Dorfltlons amounted to 35.758.797.420 and they paid out in salaries and wages 5859520940. The total net gain of all these corporations, those which were taxable and those which

tax paid as stated was 531.087.1365, leaving a balance for shareholders of $274,276,890. This was the total net amount actually returnable to proprietors on an investment of nearly $8,500,000,000. These figures illustrate graphically and emphatic- ally the serious industrial condition which the budget measures were de- signed to “improve and which the new trade treaty with Australia, whose terms were communicated to Parliament during the session, will help to correct.

The debate on the tariff board legislation was protracted by the Liberal Opposition whose Tarifi Ad- visory Board, created by order-in- council, had gone out of office soon after the change of government The new tribunal, as provided in the Act, and as explained by the Prime Minister, is to be a fact-finding body, and is to hold office for ten ycnrs. It is to consist of‘ a chairman and two other members, and the in- tcntion of the Prime Minister is that it shall be patterned upon a court of law.

A United States writer says: “The World War left Germany |prostraie. Not once since the war ;has Germany been wble to pay ireparations out of o national surp- ilus. Invariable it has had to borrow ‘the money. 1t is this extended bor- rowing coupled with the prolonged industrial depression, that has caused the present crisis. Never- theless, the indemnity of the l8- 70's is worth remembering namely one billion francs on the spot and ,four billion more within three | years. The French have never for- gotten it; and it is that fact which make them unwilling to grant con- cessions to Germany now.

Sidney Holland‘ Second Viscount Knutsford whose death was re- ported the other day in London at ithe age of seventy six was known ifor many years as the prince of beggars.

His bogging campaigns were taken mainly to help benefit hospi- tals. It is estimated that in the ‘course of thirty-five years he rais- |ed as much as thirty million dol- ilars for the London Hospital alone. ‘When he undertook this work the London Hospital was in a bad way. iThcre were six hundred and fifty ‘lpatients, one operating theatre, no Ipathologists, no clinical laborator- ies; and most of the nurses, who were grossly underpaid, lived a Box-and-Cox life with one bed ‘shared by two. As a result of his lwork, London Hospital is now the largest and best-equipped institu- tion of its kind in England, with o, flourishing medical college, lab- oratles, a nurses’ training-school, lconvalescent homes and equipment

In seeking from Parlfiflfent ex- ccptionally wide powers for un- employment relief and the main- tcnance of law and order, Mr. Ben- nett took the ground, as he has done before, that Canada should never be in its present condition. Endowed as it is with great natural resources in proportion to its popu- lation, ft should always be better off than any other nation, and it [would have been better off to-day ‘if only it had enjoyed for some lycars past a proper fiscal policy- the policy which has now been giv- 6n it by the present Government. ‘That policy, the Prime insists, will lshortly begin to show larger results, ‘and in thg.l0ng run it will place ‘the country on a comparatively permanent basis of prosperity. His view, of course, is, and it is held by ‘an increasing number of people, lthat the average Canadian cannot help but benefit if Canadian fac- tory and farm labor are consistent-

these rays really do. Dr. D. McCLskey, New York, re- minds us that sunlight is divided into three general divisions. First, the Hertzian light wave that is so long in its wave length vib- rations that wireless telegraph mes- sages are constantly being sent up- on them. We cannot see these waves. These are often called the infra-red wavesnnd cannot producesunburn. The second group of light rays from the sun as the ‘luminous’ group, which the human eye can perceive in the colors of the rainbow, namely, violet, indigo, blue green, yellow, orange and red, the wave lengths being the longest in the red, and shortest in the violet vibrations. These are the heat waves of the or- dinary incandescent electric lamp, but cannot produce sunburn. The third group are the actlnlc light waves. These might be divided into those that produce only sun- burn, because of their low penetra- tion power, and those which produce a deep penetration, namely the X rays. In speaking of the rays that pene- trate just a short distance and cause sunburn Dr. McCaskey says that the cells of the skin are mark- edly stimulatcd, the little blood ves- sels immediately beneath the skin are dilated or made larger, and the four symptoms of inflammation are present. These symptoms are pain, swelling, redness, and heat. This is Nature's method of pre- venting these particular rays from penetrating any deeper, as millions and millions of dark granules are formed which provide a. defence against these actlnlc or quartz light rays. This is the reason that in treating patients with these rays to stimulate circulation, and i;~ ‘T0358 number and quality of red rn-puscles in the blood, that the dose can be grad- ually increased, beginning with one to three minutes and working up to twenty to thirty mlmzlls, as more and more of these ,-__ mules are formed. Remember then the different kind of rays from the sun, that two groups do not cause sunburn, and that of the third group, the actlnlc rays are beneficial, by causing an increased activity of the skin and tissues beneath it. These rays can be obtained from "sun" lamps, but as there are differences in these lamps, let your doctor guide you should you desire to purchase one.
