A GREAT SUCCESS |

The success of this year's Pro-l vinclal Exhibition will be gratifyinB f

to all sections of the Province. Con-,

gratulations are due primarily the executive and directors of the Exhibition A§ociaiion on their ln-I

ltiative, but also to the horsemen` and exhibitors who participated., and the public who attendeof

[he racing events drew enormous! crowds daily to the grandstand, and new track records were estab- lished. More important from thei

agricultural standpoint, however.: was the strong showing made in lhe livestock and produce exhibits. The favorable ' comments of thc

judges indicate that in quality, as well as in number, these exlilbias

were generally satisfactory, and in many cases highly so. The main

purpose of the Exhibition, namely. the improvement of the agricul-

tural industry of the Province, has been well served.

A POLICY VINDICA TED

"lf we were asked to name what

has been the greatest achievement

of the Imperial Conference," says the Mail and Empire, "we should

probably say that it is the estab- lishment after thirty five years of

the principle of reciprocal Imperial preferencesywhen in 1807 sir Wilf- rid Laurier first extended tariff pre- ferences to the Mother Country he

suggested that she should grant preferences 'in return. The proposal has often been renewed, but noth-‘

ing came of it until the head of the Canadian Government made his forthright and, some thought, over

emphatic demand at the Imperial Conference of 1930. He obtained the-

backing of the other Domiriions and

struction or concealment of_ most ol

the mosaics which adorned the; walls and which, as already stated. are resppearing under the rclwvat' ions now being made. Happily, nl!- viving mosaics were covered with matting before being plastered over. and are hs good preservation-

SEES OPPORTUNITY

From Dr. M. M. Goody, St- PNB-

cis Xavier University, a gentleman well and favorably known in this Province for his interest in the Maritime fisheries lndustry, comes

enthusiastic reference,to the pros-

pects openod by the Imperial Con- ference, speaking recently before, the Union ofblova Scotia Municill' aiities, Dr. Coady said:

‘ "We have come over s road in 'the last. 50 years that is strewn with the record of lost 0DP°l'¢\-ln'

’ ities. Today as a. result of trade treaty between Canada. and ff G Mother Country, we have a greater opportunity than ever or-:ned up for us and it must not be lost."

I REPUDIATION

Shocked references to the idea of

repudiation of wsr debts are still being made by speakers in the pres- moriusl election campaign in t-hs United States. The occasion may not be inopportune for renewln8 our acquaintance with a bit of his- tory touching Uncle Sam's relations with Great Britain in the matter of wer debt repudlstlon. The episode dates mek nearly sixty years. At. that time the Southern States of the American Union borrowed from

the British Government having in the meantime established a protec-

tive' tarlil system of its own, came to Ottawa with full powers to enter

into preferential trade relationships with Canada and the other outlying parts of the Empire. Agreements

embodying this policy have been a-

dopted. They are, of course, subject bo ratification by the various Empire Parliaments, but there seems to be no doubt of sucli ratification with-

out delay. The agreements, indeed should bc in full operation in s. few weeks."

ST. SOPHIA RESTORED

respondent of the Toronto Globe, the Cross of Christ, has reappeared

The usual thing hu happened to

the aspirations of the so-called “Jobless-Liberty Party" in the Uh- ited States. Leaders of different fsc- tions are scrapping between them-‘

selves over leadership of the snul-` gamated body. Bo many of these political movements of the people* start with a. flourish and then' dwindle off to nothingness. Usually, it is because of lack of leo.dership| or failure to acres upon one of, their nun-leer as the roooiiusea 1oui| er. The story has been repeated; so many times, the ending has come I to be looked for in the same way, that we expect a. stereotyped con-I eluslon to a movie. It is so easy toi call for leadership, but good leadersi are hard to find.

The follownig well deserved cu-

tigation of a. contemporary _by the Toronto Mail and Empire will apply with equal force to many other Lib- eral Joumals which need not be named here: “While everybody eiie throughout the world-wide Empire has at least acknowledged Canadels leadership 'in a great effort affect- ing a quarter of the world's pop- ulation, the Toronto Star has had nothing but contemptuous remarks to offer. If our contemporary knew how the majority of its readers re- gard its eccentriclties, it would a- mend its ways."

~Wc are sure that few persons. these days, envy Chancellor Pritl von Papen his Job. The Chancellor is between the devil and the deep blue sea, so to speak. On one side. he faces the Nazis or Brown Shirts, led by the fiery Adolf Hitler on the other he secs the Communists, 3,500,000 strong, led by Ernest Thalemann. Each party is making. scathing' attacks on the Govern- ment of the day. Hitler demands that it do one thing; 'rhalemann is equally insistent that it do the very opposite. Each breathes fire. Each preaches drastic methods. And all the time, amid all the excitement . the Chancellor seems to keep hi-L head, and backed up by President von Hindenburg, strives to main-; tain the ship of state on even keel.'

You have been reading about the

treatment of tonslls by electricity which is necessary in cases where the patient does not want to under- go operation or where it might not be safe for him to do so. It mem a number of trips to the doctor-'sl office to get these treatments.

Sometimes the delay may mean an I

attack of rheumatism or even heart disease.

Similarly with ulcer of the stom-

ach. In the majority of cases, diet and medical treatment will cure the ulcer if the patient is willing to continue the treatment for a sufficient length of time. Hero sho an operation often. becomes necessary, and the medical treat- ment must be abandoned.

Another serious ailment and one

that might be cured by rest, and medical treatment is the severe form of goitre; the enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck. Here also there are cases where the in- vidual fears the knife, or where it is thought unwise to operate. In many of these cases the use of the X ray has given brilliant results.

Drs. P. I-less, and H. Schlect, after

the treatment of eighty cases by the X-ray, conclude that the treatment of the enlarged thyroid by this method is very efficient, and equal to surgery in its effects. Good re- sults can, however, only be secur- ed by suflicient dosage, and suffic- ient time. Because of the average long time period before satisfactory results can be secured, certain cases may require operation. .In their 29 cases that had been under treatment 'long enough,, a. good result was obtained in 93 per cent, while only seven per cent were not ai1ected.

In the total series the cure or

improvement was only secured in 'I8 per cent of cases, which they consider chiefly due to insufficient dosage and time.

This can be more readily under-

stood when we learn that the time between beginning the X-ray treatment and deilnlte improve- ment or cure varies from 3 to 24 months, an average of 16 months. Improvement usually does not set in until 4 weeks after treatment, and it continues so slowly that even after 4 months one could not speak of a satisfactory result.

It is this slowness of producing

the edect that discourages the pat- ient, and takes much persuasion on the docwr‘s part to have him con- tinue treatment.

The thought then is that where the Patient 18 willing to continue X-ray treatment for a. sunleie,-_t length of time, and there is no dan-

Russia and th eir backers can or- ganize and conduct their prop- aganda. The Oshawa. Times cites fthe case or the oimaoiim Labor ne- 'fense League, whose representatives ‘ in Oshawa have steadily denied their relationship to the Communists of Russia. Now comes this admission from A. E. Smith, its leader, speak- ing in Toronto: "This meeting is under the auspices of the Canadian Labor Defense League. The league is the Canadian division of the 1`n- ternational Red. Ad . . - It is af- rnliated with no party, no other

Dommlons War Debts

(Border Cities Star) i War debts owing Great Britain bl’ the different Domiinons are a point of discussion among certain of the delegates at Ottawa. There has been no demand for a cancel- lation of the sums owed, but with a general international cancellation scheme enforced. the Domlnions could hope for some relief.

Canada does not owe Britain

anything as a war debt. When the war ended Canada owed Brital.. $112,400,000, but the amount was oil- set by a debt of Great Britain to Canada for $391,800,000.

Other debts owing Britain by

Dominlons are:

Australia 279,724,220 New zealand 20,412,144 Bouth Africa ........ 7,500,000 Newfoundland ........ 400,000 The Hoover Moratorilur. has pro-

vided a respite in payment. Until .then the Dominions were paying annually to Great Britain for prin-

.her debt. Until the latest move at Lausanne, when reparations were ‘ virtually wiped out, the Dominion: had been getting 13.15 percent. of

'rtus is* a. mere tithe, of what will be sent next year, if anticipstions are rel' lized. lt is little wonder that lum- ber-men are said, to be “jubillnt"‘ over the prospects. Not everything desired has been conceded. The ten per cent. advalorcm duty is retain' ed, ss provided in the British Aoi# passed this year, against foreign, timber, and this cannot be reduced without the obnseht of the Cana- dian Government. It had been hoped that this duty would be doubled: but it is agreed that the discrimination in favor of Canada will enable lumbermen to compete on favorable terms with their ri- vals. The important thing is that ruinous competition has been checked and that the great Brit- ish market is available to exporters from this country.

_ (Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph) .

so far as natural products are

concerned, the prospect is of the brightest for Canada: reasonable assurance of markets being offer- ed to our producers of wheat, cat~ tie, bacon, fruit and lumber. As against this, we have had to open our market to certain manufactur- ed products of the United King- , dom but it was impossible that this should have been otherwise and., if the calculations of the confer- ence are accurate, no serious injury will be done to any Cana/:lls.n ln~

ed that it develops and maintains a proper efficiency. In any case, the canadian consumer can only stand to benefit from the situation thus crested. `

This is what was hoped for. This is what re- suited.
