PRETTY GOOD REASONS

Mr. King in his" Charlottetown speech had very little to say about the Empire Trade Agreements. There was a reason for this-many reasons, in fact. Here are a few 0f them?

In 1930, under a Liberal govern- ment the United Kingdom pur- chased from Canada slightly more than 113,000,000 bushels of wheat, while in 1933, after the completion of the Empire Trade Agreements, the amount increased to nearly

This is the real issue before ‘the ielectors. All Mr. King's talk about do» “p5, about his grand- father's alleged martyrdom in the cause of freedom, about history re- peating itself and the danger of Canada going to war with Musso- lini unless he, Mr. King, is elected to power, is just so much poppy- cock. Mr. King knows better, but he is in the unfortunate position of having nothing constructive to of- fer. His economic ideas, embedded

In politics even c very religious man is justified in using strong language when the occasion requir- es it. Mr. Danton Massey. the con- ductor of the largest Bible Clcssin Canada, was addressing a meeting in Toronto when an interrupter shouted that the Massey-Harris ﬁrm was "the biggest scab-strep in Toronto." "I no longer have any- thing to do with the Massey-Har- ris Company," Mr. Massey said, “and neither do I own one single share of stock in it. But I see red when a man like you stands up at a public meeting and makes up such danrnable lies."

AVIATION PIONEER

The Edinburgh Scotsman makes, the interesting statement that one of the earliest attempts at ﬂying was made in Scotland, and the achievement is being incorporated in the film, “Conquest of the Air," scenes for which have just been shot at Stirling by London Film Productions. The attempt was maaeﬁby the Italian, Damien, who ﬂoated about the Court of James Iik», and eventually decided w ﬂoat; oiI the battlements of Stirling Castle, having ﬁrst fastened to his body p pair of wings made of fea- thers.

Damien, though he seems to have been encouraged by the king in his scientiﬁc researches, which then passed under the name of alchemy, appears to have been something of a Court butt. He was, however, made Abbott of Tongland, in the steivamy of Kirkcudbright, and Dunbnr in his "Fenyett Freir of Tungland" satirlses Damien's at- tempt to master the air. The Ab- bott was lucky to have escaped on that occasion‘ with a broken thigh

KING'S STOCK FALLING

The fltcs which seemed to look kindly upon the Liberal cculo in Canada, says the Hamilton Spec- tator, are now turning their smiles upon the Conservatives. The lie-

plicable to present day conditions

be in the Old Country. A younger man than Premier Bennett, he is constitutionally incapable of mov- ing with the times and adjusting his outlook, as Mr. Bennett has done, to the problems-of the rising generation. ~

THE FIGURES \

Figures do not lie. The latest bulletin of the Bureau of Statistics shows that while in 1931, the ﬁrst year of the Bennett administration. the agricultural revenue of the Dominion was estimated at $839,- 881,000, it jumped in 1934 to $931,- 347,000, an increase 0f $91,466,000. Every province in the Dominion recorded an increase in agricultural revenue during the period in ques- tion." Prince Edward Island's rev- enue went from '$11.414.000 in 1931 to $12.979,000 in 1934; Nova Scotia from $24,029,000 to $26,525,000; New Brunswick, $22,189,000 to $24,611.- 000; Quebec, $161,614,000 to $180,- 257000; Ontario, $293,224,000 to $300,348,000; Manitoba. $49,695,000 to $71,735.000; Saskatchewan, $105.- 036,000 to $129,986,000‘, Alberta. $136,935,000 to $148,593,000, and rat-rush Coiurnbia, sasnaaooo to $30,313,000.

An increase of $128.40l,000 is in- dicated for 1934 over 1933. Revenue from all items are higher, the greatest being in field crops, farm animals and dairy products.

The third epistle w the canta- lens by Mr. Bennett is the best yet.

The electorate is not warming up to the Liberal candidates. to say the least of it.

Dr. Gus Macddnald and Dr. Grant joint issue at Cherry H111 to- morrow.

Mr. Larabce 1s quoting the price of butter in 1930 as 40c. As a mat.- ter of fact iihe Montreal market quotation in July 1930 was 29c.

As Prime Minister Mr. Bennett will bid the departing Governor- General Godspeed, and welcome his successor to an enjoyable term un- der his second administration.

The Conservative candidates in Queens will announce their series of meetings as soon as they learn who are the Reconstruction candi- dates they will have to contend against. ‘Nut! said.

The old time custom of the out- going Govemor-Gener-al passing the incoming Govemor-Gencral at sea may be maintained alter all. Lord Bessborough is scheduled to leave here round about 28th inst, while Lord Tweedsmuir is expected to arrive October 10th. That means he would leave England about the 4th or 5th before his predfcessor had time to arrive.

Has prosperity returned under the Liberal-Conservatives? How is this for evidence? Amusement tax revenue in Ontario last month to- talled $230,978, an increase of $198.- 000 over August 1934. When people can afford to spend more than double on amusement icxes,a mes.- sure of prosperity must no longer be “round the corner," but actually in their midst. Thanks to Mr. Ben- nett.

Mr. Stevens is going to have op- position in Kooienay East after all. Captain J. Blakley, who hul been adopted Liberal candidate before Mr. Stevens became Reconstruction leader, withdrew, and there was no one in light to succeed him till Hon. R. R. Bruce, former Mouton- ant cot-emai- of British Columbia. returned from Europe and volun- teered to enter the lists. A Lib-

This from the Montreal Gazette looks ominous for Liberal prospects:

“Mr. Mackenzie King makes no progress in attacking the Govem- ment as being highly protectionist. Mr. Bennett has a complete answer in the fact that economic nation- alism has become world-wide, that almost everywhere tariffs have been raised, and that for Canada to ex- poze its industries and its indus- trial labor to the competition of countries where standards of living are lower and where currencies have been demcralized, would be ruinous and roolish. It is still true, and will always be true, that apro- tcctecl home market and the main- tenance c! a. proper standard of living are essential to the welfare of agriculture." "

Bright spots of the current week, as compiled by The Canadian Press, are as follows: Toronto: Building permit values in Toronto for 1935 to date about double the total for the corresponding period of 1934; Ottawa: Income tax receipts in ﬁvo months of ﬁrcal year totalled $01,- 289,412, an increase of 35 per cent over collections in same period of last year, Minister of Revenue re- ports; stratford, 0nt.: cuslomsre- ceipts continue to increase. Aug- ust returns up about 15 per cent over those of August last year; Vancouver: Value of building per- mits issucd in greater Vancouver in first eight months of 1935 three times the total for same period of last year.

Good harvest prospects are ex- pected in the west after all. Cut- ting is general in Alberta, aside from the Peace River district with 57 per cent wheat and 37 pe: cent coarse grains completed, and ready for threshing. Manitoba claims a percentage o1‘ 94 already down. Rains have halted Lhmshlng and only 30 per cent is done in Mani- toba as against 91 last year. Yields are reported from a few bushels to 35 and grade from 3 to feed in Manitoba and southern Saskatche- wan due to rust conditions. Feed is generally plentiful for livestock although southern Alberta ranges wouicLbeheiped by more moisture. British Columbia} apple and late fruit crops are of excellent quality and are moving in normal quan- tities, Kelownc reports heavy movement of onions to New Zea,- land. Late vegetable crops are promising.

A newspaper opponent of Mr. Ben- nett cculd scarce forbear to cheer when it read his exortstlon to the electors to deal with the basic is- sues of the campaign "as if each one of you were the sols arbiter of your country's destiny." This, it exclaimed, expresses the true ro- sponsibility of every citizen who exercises the franchise, a respon- sibility which never made c greater claim upon right-thinking electors than it does at this time when the issues are so confused and when the n chlse ls in the hands of so many people who are incapable of intelligent discrimination and are wholly unfitted for the proper dil- chcrgc of the highest duty of their citisenship.

when there is little discomfort, no pain, no cramps, and no distinct bulging of the varicose veins, it snows that the deep veins are doing their work properly and it will therefore be safe to inject the vari- cose veins lying just beneath the surface of the skin.

If, however, there is pain, and the varicose veins bulge out beyond their usual size with marked discol- oration of the skin, iihcre is an ob- struction to the circulation through a failure of the blood in the veins to ﬁnd a channel by which to re- turn, and the injection then of the surface veins should not be done. When the case is suitable for in- jection the patient sits on the end of the table with the foot resting on e. small stool, and two or three in- jections to the veins in each leg are made at each visit to the physic- ian's office. The patient wears a bandage for support and reports in one week for further injections, The support should be worn for a month or two after the injections are com- pleted.

The above test-putting the tourniquet or bandage around the thigh w see if it gives trouble by interfering with the deep circula- tion of the blood-enables the pat- ient and physician to know before- hand if the deep circulation is all rigurt so that the injection of the varicose surface Veins can be done with safety. ,

The Empire’s Open Spaces

(Edinburgh Evening News)

The point raised frequently in the tour of the Empire delegates is that of the undeveloped Imperial estates. Canada's population 1,5 in the neighbourhood of 10,090,000; Austra‘ia over six and a quarter millions; South Africa. 7000.000 (M00000 whites); and New Zea- lcnd about one and a half millions (including 68,000 Maoris). One or two of the D0m1li10l1s have their own special problems-that of Aus- tralia with its great empty spaces, and that of South Africa with its millions of nrtives. Probably the care of Australia is the most ser- ous, for at no great distance from the shores of the Commonwealthis military Japan, with a population calling for cutlets. The pride cf Austrmia is its white population. It is not being reinforced. Indeed, there has been a trndstill in the British Commonwealth which has intensiﬁed the unemployment pro- blem in the Old Country. An Aus- tralian speaker in Glasgow put his finger on the weak spot in his country. I-Ie said Khct they them- selves had 800,000 unemployed, and it would be unfair in ask British people to come out and swell that number. Instead of British people going to the overseas Domlnions. many have returned home. Two things are certainly needodtobring about c real revival in Grout Bri- tain-a great development of the British Corrunonweslth- and real stimulus to world trade.

ticularly “Thanksgiving Day" is a Religious institution, and the vcry oldest of the stated holidays in the calendar of Western civilization, and was undoubtedly much more properly observed as such, on the Thursday, than it ever has been since the change to Monday. In fact, it is quite apparent to any honest" observer, that the change to Monday, has resulted in largely de- stroying the religious signiﬁcance of the time-honored Day cf Thanksgiving. The undesirable and irnfortirnaie change to Monday was brought about at, the instigation of men who desired simply to have a longer week end. and to appropriate Thanksgiving Day to their own pleasure instead of thanksgiving to God. The old ‘Thanksgiving Thursday was formerly very generally and devoutiy observed by our Canadian people all over the Dominion, not only by happy family reunions, but by solemn services of thanksgiving and praise in the snnctuaries of the land. - The great majority of our rural ministers prench three and four times on the Lord's Day, as well as assisting in Sabbath School work, and it is almost out of the question to expect them to repeat religious services on the day following, as ought certainly to be done in all our churches on the day of national thanksgiving. When the change was made to Monday, the religious press severely denounced it as “a. very bad move", and the results have everywhere confirmed this vi:w. Many ministers and congregations all over Canada at once abandoned its observance when changed to Monday, because of the scrious in- convenience and unsuitability en- tailed thereby.

itual treasure by the people of British North America, for it is of much earlier origin than the Puri- tan and Pilgrim colonization of Old New England. More than forty years before the Puritan observance of it was instituted, such a Day of public religious thanksgiving and the voice of melody in the sanctu- ary, was observed in Newfoundland in 1578, the ﬁrst of such services being conducted in “Britains Old- est Colony" by an English Church clergyman, one Rev. 1W1". Waefali. who accompanied the expedition under Frobisher, which brought out the very earliest English col- only to settle in the Western World. The “Day" has been observed in Canada since 1798, and there is ur- gent need of its continuance.

The most objectionable subterfuge Advanced in support of the Monday ‘Thanksgiving is that of those who declare that it is best for commer- cial and monetary gains by the sale of poultry and fruit. It would cer- tainly be mcre in harmony with the conditions of our time. and most agreeable to the purpose of its original institution, if we observed Thanksgiving Day this year in fast- ing and prayer, instead of in feast- ing and fun; humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of a cov- chant-keeping God and Saviour, that he would save the world from the perils of war and ungodly secu- larism, and grant us a revival of pure and undeﬂled religion. Schools and Colleges might read- ily make the whole Thanksgiving recess of Thursday and Friday n holiday period. as‘ many of them formerly did, and suffer no loss in their good work,

Thousands of the people heartily approve the Federal Government's action in giving us back the old- time Thursday Thanksgiving Day. 1n preference to the tired "Blue Monday" of recent years.
