Let Us Bow To The Verdict

a.

“The 'most dangerous foe to truth and free- dom in our midst is the compact. majority. Yes, the damned, compact liberal majority." So de clares HENRICK IssENin “An Enemy of the People," and we have no reason -for disbelieving that he was visioning such an occasion as the general election of yesterday. When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule, the majority are wrong. The reason for this, is obvious. It is the few who do the thinking, the mass as a rule is penny wise and pound foolish, satisfied with immedi- ate promises and dazzling illusions of the sleight of hand description. In the mass we love to be fooled by glittering expectations, and fall for them nine times out of ten. At the present time, PRIME MINISTER BENNETT has fought a hard and strenuous ‘battle to keep the Empire Agree- ments intact, and to safeguard the credit of the country in the most trying times in the world's history. But the effects of the long depression have been too nluch for him. The people have tired of the lollg journey through the wilderness, have grumbled, have rebelled, and now ultimate- ly have killed their prophets. In other words, while "one, with God, is always a majority, many a martyr has been burned at the stake while the votes were being counted.” Metaphorically that is PRIME MlNlsTErt BENNETT’s fate.

This morning we enter upon a new phase ‘of Canadian history. The RT. HON. W. L. KIACKENZIE KING will soon assume power ivith

Here in the Island we are in lille with other provinces, and notably Nova Scotia, in sending a complement t0 support the new administration. The defeated candidates put up a good fight, but Old Man Depression was too nnlch for them, and although they have gone down to defeat they have done so with their colors flying. All honour to them. They have done magnifi- cently for the Province, and if their successors do even half as well in their term, they will deserve to be congratulated.

Canada At Geneva

There is food for thought in the following sober comment from the current issue of The Legionary, official national publication of the Canadian Legion, B. E. S. L. : .

“When the Hon. G. HOWARD FERGUSON, Canada's High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and spokesman for the Canadian dele- gation to the League of Nations, presented Can- ada's attitude on the halo-Ethiopian dispute to the Assembly some weeks ago, several Canadian newspapers were critical of what they termed Mr. Flzllcusows “pussy-footing." The Canadian delegation, they urged, should have taken “a strong stand." Remote from the actualities of Geneva. these "strong stand" advocates failed to grasp the one sad, fundamental fact. This was that Mr, FERGUSON, speaking for a small dom- inion of 10,000,000 people to the representatives of more than 5o nations, was speaking for a country that could not muster one full regiment of soldiers, that did not possess one completely equipped battery of any sort of artillery, that did not have a single tank, a fighting or bombing plane, or one warship capable of service outside Canadian territorial watlers. ,Mr. FEllcusorfs listeners knew that—knew it very well indeed and Mr. FEncusoN knew they knew it. So, when one is taking strong stands on grave and critical issues before world delegates, it is well to be supported by the material means of asserting one's argument rather than suffer oneself to become the world's buffoon. Mr. FEncusoN was too sage to take that chance. He knew that in the event of the League imposing military sanc- tions Canada, disarmed and dependent for her own security on whatever shreds of goodwill ex- ist elsewhere, could and would do nothing. lt would have made this country a laughing-stock for the Canadian delegate to have indicated any- thing else. _

_ “The whole situation is fraught-with grave danger. The Canadian delegation performed an- ungracious task with exceeding grace. They plainly refused to speak thelanguage 0f a nation while clothed in the ill-fitting hablllments of a 1 dependency.

As a matter of fact, vitamins are not. conside ed foods at all. but rather as certain substances con- tained in food stuffs that have a "regulating" effect upon the body. They have thus been called body regulators and are therefore nec- essary to good health.

Fortunately théy are all found in the everyday food usually eaten by everybody. so that in one sense there lfuno need to think about them at

Thus a. lack oi vitamin A anter- cells which make juices on certain

The foods rich in vitamin A which would prevent these condi- tlons are spinach. green tops of vegeggles. cabbage, lettuce, aspara- gus, tatoes, sweet potatoes, car- rots, tomatoes, peas, beans, pine- apples, prunes.

If there ls not enough vitamin B in the food, there is lack oi appe- tite, indigestion, and nervousness. Foods rich in vitamin B are green tops of vegetables, cauliflower, as- paragus, potatoes, pcrsnlps, toms- toes, beans, peas, grapefruit, lem- ons. oranges. pineapples, prunes. Lack of vita-in C may cause tooth decay, scurvy, and tendency to colds. Foods rich in vitamin C are cabbage, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, apples, bananas, grapefruit, lemons, oranges, pineapples, raspberries and strawberries.

Lack of vitamin D means that. not enough lime is being taken into the system. so that. rlcklts and decay of teeth may result. Foods rich in viro- mln D are butter. egg yolk, milk, giileen vegetables, liver and cod liver o . By looking over the above foods it will be seen that most of us eat the above foods and usually in suffic- ient. quantity to obtain enough of nll the vitamins.

As has been suggested before, per- haps a. little more of leafy vege- tables and fruits might well be add- ed to the ordinary diet; of many people to make sure that. sufficient vitamins are tE-ken daily.

In Canada, lead and size produc- tlcn is well ahead oi that in 1926; in the United States lead and zinc production is still 50 percent. and 35 percent, respectively below that of the base year. In the case of cooper, the greater development in Canada is even more marked. In the case oi gold there was an 80 percent increase in Canada. an Increase of but 33 percent. in the United States. Finally, while coal reduction and consumption in the United Siam declined by almost one-third, in Canada coal pro- duction in 1935 is nearly 90 per- cent. of that in 1996.

In the case of agriculture, the position of the United States .tak- lng the bald figures seems better than that of Cansda- Looking deeper however, what is found is that in the United States the price structure for agriculture is largely dependent upon Government inter- vention, whereas farm prices in Canada are in a. more healthy relationship to world prices. More- over, farmers’ costs, as indicated by cost of living figures have been reduced by about one-third in Canada and only by about 16 per- cent. in United States.
