‘u ‘ old varieties as perfectly new hybrids is despicable but. un- fortunately quite common. The ex- istence of the Potato Synonym Committee has however been re- sponsible during the last year for a revolution in the introduction of new varieties, for whereas twenty- five years ago as many as 75 Per cent c1 ‘new varieties entered for trial at'the Ormskirk station were in fact merely old stocks, in 1934 not s single entry proved‘ to be false. The practice of deliberately false cataloguing however still goes on: and since to the inexperienced eye one, potato is very like another. it seems likely to continue."

EDITORIAL NOTES

Neither Mr. Hepburn nor Mr. Gardiner are to favour Charlotte- town with their presence.

Our contemporary “ the ex- posure of the facts concerning the rebellion in Ontario a century ago of Mr. Mackenzie Kings grand- father. "Muckraking" is the ex- pression it applies to the quotations in these columns from the Diction- ary of Canadian Biocraph? and ‘he Encyclopaedis, Britannica. Coming from such s source, "d1 l flllffle is amusing.

The history of the Macken i re- volt would have no relevancy, and would require no reference in these columns, but for the vaunting mis- statements of Mr. Mackenzie King himself. When he holds up to a Prince Edward Island audience hi8 rebel grandparent as_ s martyr in the cause of freedom and democracy — when he goes fur- ther and states that history is beini repeated, and appeals for votes on the ground that he is fighting in the cause for which his grandfather was "exiled"—then it ls_high time that the truth asserted itself.‘ If the truth is unpalatable, our con- umporiary has its leader to thlnif- for having to swallow it.

There is only one possible Prime Minister at the present juncture of Canada's hirtory, and that is M1‘. Bennett.

The consensus of opinion in the mainland press seems to be that Mr. Bennett's speechfrfday was a masterpiece.

ELECTION VAGARIES

It was the Toronto Globe (Lib- eral) which called attention tothe unfortunate result of the election in this Province which deprived 42 per cent of’ the electors, who had void Conservative, of any repre- sentation in the legislature. A writer in a Windsor paper how calls attention to some curious fcltilfc! Qf the Alberta election results. The social Credit party. electing 56 members in the 38 seats, secured 101.924 votes, or 58.94 of the total of 298.330 (provisional figures). The Liberals. with 63.666 votes elected five members, while the Conservat- ives, with 19,426, elected two. But the UfllA. Government. which re- ceived 36,6l2 votes, did .not return s single member. , ,

In other words, where an average of 289i votes elected a Social Cre- dit candidate. it took 1373i to elect a conservative. And 32,612 failed to elect a U.F.A. candidate." .

The writer states that if.the Al- berta election is any criterion, the vote in the coming general election may be the heaviest on record. Hr in the Western Province a prelim-

, fnary survey shcwsithat there were 209.830 votes cast, as compared with 182.219 in i930.

The inevitability of gradualness is being tried out by the League of Nations in the case of the Italo- Ethiopian crises. Time is on the side of peace.

The advent of the Stevens Club with its determination to run can- didates in all three rountles adds “to the gaiety of the election," whatever else it may accomplish.

"A Reader" writes: "I listened-in to both Mr. Mackenzie King and Mr. Bennett. The effect of M1". King's oratory was like drinking vinegar water; Mr. Bennett's like rich. refreshing mil-k." ‘That's it in a nutshell. Mr. King's policy would starve u; out, while Mr. Hm- nett's will build us up.

FARMERS’ VIEWPOINT

Speaking at sherbmoke. P. Q., recently. Hon. Samuel Oobell, one‘ of the new members of the Ben- nett Cabinet from Quebec placed some important questions before the farmers.

"would you," he said, “be pre- pared to put Mr. King into oiiice in order tc lower the tariff against American beef, if they did not. do the same? would you put him in power to reduce the duty against American butter, when “they will not lower their tariff of l4 cents against our ‘butter. If these are good policies, vote for Mr. King. There is no Government more willing or more anxious to make trade treaties with any country than this Government. We have made trade treaties with coun- tries which Mr. King lost. ‘This government is now negotiating a treaty with the United States and

Dr. Manion declared Mr. King. no doubt unconsciously but certainly definitely, was referring to Premier Bennett in such man- ner as to create a condition in Canada whereby love of and faith in British democratic conditions would disappear and Communism and revolution come about; and it was on this than.

Canada's total trade with Brit- ish Empire countries during the twelve months ending July amount- ed to $600,577,000, which was 9 per cent above the $403,208,000 of a year ago, and 38 per cent above the $362,451,000 of two years ago. The imports at $185,133,000 were a 7.0 per cent increase over the $153.- 070,000 of a year a/go and 35.9 per cent over the $111,504,000 of two years ago.

Notes By The Way

Mr. George lanabury, the Brlthli Labor leader. has thrown the

goes farther still and speaks of the ultimate causes of war. “The world," he said, "is arming not be- cause of the ltalo-Ethiopian dis- pute. but because of the terrific ec- onomic unrest from the Pacific to the North Sea. I believe it is the duty or the Christian Church to stand forth-whether from Mount Calvary, Rome or Geneva-to tell the hilt-ions it is blasphemy both against God and nature to endea- vor to find means of destroying one another rather than sit down to discover how better they can use the gifts God and Nature have giv- en us." Mr. Lansbury puts his fin- ger on the causes behind war. The disease is not cured by any surface treatment. Causcs have to be ex- plored and justly dealt with if the sore is to be healed. That will take long serious study and no end of pains but it is surely not beyond the power of man. He deludes himself who thirks it is to be done easily and quickly-Ex.

lanes WflwlaaglQ. CORONARY THROMBOSIS —

BIDCKING OF BLOODVESSEL SUPPLYING HEART MUSCLE

You are reading vm often these clays of individuals dying of coron- ary thrombosis

This means that the coronary art- ery or bloodvessel that carries the blood to the heart muscle so as to enable it to squeeze bloxl out through the big tube to all parts of the body has become blocked by a clot of- blood called a thrombus. Naturally if blood cannot get through this vessel which is the size of a goose quill then the heart will have no strength with which to pump and the patient will die.

However all these patients do not die because when the blood finds that it cannot enter this bloodvcssel because the clot or thrombus blocks it then it "make-s” its way around this vessel through smaller tubes or i bloocivesscls and gives the heart muscle enough ,strength to keep pumping the blood.

Dr, Warren B. Cooksey, Detroit. in a paper read before the Central Society for Clinical Research, Chic- ago, says that if the shock of the attack is not too great and the pat- ient lives for a few weeks after- wards, many of them will recover so completely and the blood circulation supplying the heart muscle will so thoroughly reestablish itself in time, that many useful years will remain. to the individual.

Dr. Cooksey records 53 cases from his private practice of which 31 are dead and 32 are alive. Of the 32 living patients 24 have been restor- ed to their previous occupation, with one patient living thirteen years after the acute attack and ten patients living six years after.

The treatment consists of having the patient remain absolutely at rest in bed for at least six weeks after the attack. After this another six weeks elapse before any activity is permitted, and careful supervision of the patients activities is contin- ued for a whole year.

Dr. Cooksey makes a. sensible ex- planation to the patient of what has happened to his heart. §h°W1nll the length of time needed to r003- tablish the circulation and for healing. and thus the great X19633‘ sity for the patient to rest and so give the heart the least amount of work possible at this critical time. This is certainly a. record rhfli should bring hope to patients Hid physicians also because it means that- this condition is not as hope- less as was formerly thought.

PROF.

HARVEY irsrszzss T0 ecmnczsu ‘REGARDING suammzvs CABLE TABLET

(The_ following statement was obtained from Professor Harvey by the Guardian in nnectlon with allegations made in a“ Nova Scotia paper and republished, without correction in a local pap- er.)

Mr. D. G. Whidden in his crit- iclsm of the tablet elected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada at Charlottetown to commemorate the laying of the first submarine telegraph cable in America raises two points; first, why was the riverine cable across the Hudson ignored and why was the New Brunswick-Prince Ed- ward Island cable commemorated rather than that across the Strait of Canso? Both these points are easy to answer. The" cable be- tween New York and Jersey City was laid across a river bed as part of a system which was not looking llo oceanic communication but to |linking up the cities of the vast ‘American continent. ‘The Board followed both contemporary and modern practice in making a dis- tinction between an experimental rlverine and a permanent submar- ine oable. The Halifax Daily Sun for December 3, 1852, says:

“We are happy to announce that the electric telegraph cable connecting Prince Ed‘- ward Island with the contin- ent of ‘America. was success- fully submerged .by F‘. N. Gis- borne, Esq., on the 22nd ult. and that the insulation proved perfect It was both a diffi- cult and dangerous under- taking at this season of the year. It is most satisfactory that this, the first attempt at a submarine cable, on our side of the Atlantic. should prove so singularly successful. This -is the commencement of the Newfoundland Electric ‘Inle- graph Companyslines-a com-

Plhy whose works are now

creating a profound interest

both in England and the Un-

ited States. Truly,-we live in

an age of scientific wonders."

Apart from contemporary 119W!- papers W. H, Russell in his "His- torvof the Atlantic Telegraph," i065, says that while "the Amer- icans self-contained were not look- ing beyond the limits of their shores a British North American province took the first step which was made at the other side of the Atlantic to lay down a submarine cable.”

In regard to the cable across the Strait of Canso the Board did not commemorate it because it was not. laid till after the cable be- tween Cape Tonnentlne and Car- leton Head. It is true that teler graph communication had been established between Cape Breton Island and Nova Sootia before November 1852. but this was achieved by throwing a. wire across the Strait as had been done across the River St. Lawrence from Quebec. That the cable across the Strait of Canso was not laid in i852 is clearly proven from the following quotation from the Halifax Daily Sun of December 28th of that year:

“The submarine telegraph wire intended to be put down at the Gut of Canso connect- ing Nova Scotia with Cape Breton has arrived from Eng- land and is now lying on Cunards wharf."

It is obvious therefore that the Cape Tormentine-Carleton Head submarine cable was .laid prior to. that across the Strait of Canso and that Mr. Whidden's strictures on the accuracy ‘of the Board are unjustified.

The True And The False

(By Exporter)

The argument of the unsound organ, thah-“The Liberal doctrine is to trade with every nation which is willing to trade with us on a reciprocal basis." This is a doc- trine they always preached. "t; get "in on” but never practiced. even to the smallest extent, after they got in. I issue the challenge for them to produce a. single instance of reciprocity, apart from making Canada a dumping market without reciprocal return, ever inaugurated by a King administration.

The statement that, “Japan's am. bar-go against Canadian lumber means British Columbia will no longer ship 7.000.000 feet of trim- med tlmber per month to the

This is in olsse simile to the bal- derdash dished out daily by the Liberal press with an elastic touch that no rubber factory could ever imitate. The ‘fact that the ablest economists of the world with the written statistics of trade and im- port and export before them, are unanimous in declaring that Can- ada leads every commercial nation in the world in holding its own trade, and in forging ahead to re- covery, must be set at nought by the fraternity of quacks, simply
