iff, as they seem likely to do, every country in the world will be elected. If Mr. Stanley Baldwin goes back to power, with authority to impose a tarifl, attention will next turn towards the adjourned Imperial Conference at Ottawa this year. Armed with author- ity to impose a tarifl and in extend preferences to Empire products, the British delegation at the conference will be in s position to consider and accept the proposal for Imperial economic unity, which all the domin- ions, under MrJBennettk leadership, offend to the Mother Country last autumn. For this reason, if for no other, Canadians will watch immed- iate developments at Westminster with intense interest.

Notes by the Way

Do your work not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavlshingb sake; that little more which is worth all the rest. And if you sufler as you must, and if you doubt as you must, do your work, put your heart into it and the sky will clear. Then out of your very doubt and suffering will be born the sup- reme joy of life to give one's self to others, to rejoice in the good that one does not seek to monopolize, to follow life lovingly through all its bewildering charges, to rejoice in all its variety and richness-this is to be free indeed. It is through love to “lay hold on eternallife."

At long in- tervals there have been falls of rock, loosened by the ceaseless and per- sistent force of rushing water, and the slide of Saturday night is no doubt just another yielding to mighty pressure. It is likely that the new formation adopted to mark this year will for s century or.so remain the style in which the falls will be seen by countless visitors. A great moun- tain of rock and earth has been left at the foot of the falls, which may be the base for an ice formation that will tower above the top of the cataract; so that Nature, in her usual considerate way, has made atone- ment in one place for what she has taken away from another.

He says that the foundations are already being laid for such a service, and that spec- ial aircraft, capable of running 125 miles an hour, are under consider- ation for the purpose.

Editorial Notes

Fortunately Great Britain has no penal institution comparable to the Hench Devils Island, and the Judic- ial Committee of the Privy Council has shown commendable reluctance to return to their places of contine- ment and torture three men who es- caped and reached Trinidad. The three have been granted an appeal from an adverse decision by the Su- pxeme Court of the colony.

The trustees of the Public Library are to be commended for their deci- sion to open the Library every Thurs- day evenlng from 7 to 9 p. m., be- ginning Feb. 5, for the benefit of those who cannot use it during the day. There are many of our citizens who find it inconvenient to visit the Library in the day time and would gladly avail themselves of its serv- ices lf it were open during the even- ing. The Library staff being small, it is not possible, at least at the pres- ent‘ time, to have it open every even- ing, but the present move will be sp- precieted as a step in the r181“ 411w- twn. Should the public response to the Thurldly evenin8 0110111118 be I19- mwtory, perhaps means may be found of extending the period f0 cov-

But the existing figures still stagger the imagination. No international bank, no international agreement of any kind is ever going to surmount the lnsuperable bstacles that lie in the way of the payment of debts so huge that their enumeration makes the ordinary man confused.

Out of the $15,250,000 which Aus- tralia. imported only $4,860,000 come from Canada. The remainder was shipped on from Washington and Oregon. There is no reason why Australia should give '15 per cent of her lumber purchase to the ‘United States when she can buy the same quality of lumber from British Columbia. In return for this trade gift to the United States Australia does, not receive a single cent of preference from American industry.

British fndust y intends to send 5,000 of its most expert salesmen to the British Empire Trade Exhibition at Bucnos Aires with an objective of $250,000,000 worth of orders for Britain's workers. . . . . Irrespective of what may be accomplished at the adjourned Imperial Economic Con- ference at Ottawa this summer, if British exporters are really anxious for Canadian business, their best plan would be to send an army of expert salesmen to Canada. For it would be fairly safe to say that for every representative of a British commercial house who comes to this country soliciting business, there are at least fifty from the United States. They find it pays to establish the personal contact.

The indications are that the Labor Government is no the down grade. The high hopes entertained when it took office have been disappointed: its effective legislation has been small; the number of unemployed has increased by nearly a million. The Government has been defeated several times in the House of "Lords, but these mishaps have not the significance of one in the Commons arising at least partly through a split among its own followers. It may survive on this occasion but it has a perilous future.

France and Italy are new free to build warships on whatever scale they wish, their particular naval truce having come to an end. It may be that both nsvies are a little bit stronger than when the truce be- gan, and, if so, the two countries are not in a class by themselv.

L. \ B§1lon.M.D 11$ rmuovnvo TONBILS nv. LOCAL sn-ansrnnsra.

To any one unused to surgery or operations the removal of tonsils by injecting them wit}; procaine before operation thus making it un- necessary to put the patient to sleep, it might seem that it requir- ed some nerve on the patients part. Asamatteroffactjustssatooth can be extracted by injecting the surrounding tissues so also can ton- sil be safely and completely remov- ed. The routine method now in-use is logiveeqirietingdmgbymoutha- bouthalfs-hhcunbdfore the oper- ation. This quiets the "nerves" or any team of the patient and thin he is fully informed of jmt each step the surgeon is going to take in removing his tonsils. The tissues suraundfng the tonsils are ewethed wiiih a B percent cocaine solution. 'I‘hen the fldht tonsil is blocked off with a number of injections of pro- caine, ani-Mflll. and adrenalin, which have the effect of prevent- lnr vein. bleedins. ma shock. After a couple of seconds the other tonsil is injected. Then the throat is again gone over with s. 5 percent coooaine- solution.

"By this method the tonsil an be cleanly and perfectly removed without any pain to the patient and practically without fright our shock, the throat is left in good condition; there is no bleeding, no zinger of pneumonia or abscess of the lung, no nausea or vomiting and the patient isll-idirpbutnvelwshorttime." Now the reason Ispeaik about this “local anesthetic" method of re- moving tonsils is because so many adults naturally dislike the idea of “e01!!! 0f! in sleep”. while the ton- sils are being removed.

A few years ego I decided to have mytonsils removed 811d I left it to the 811188031 ls to whether the would use the loco-l or general snamthetic. H: chose the "local" and after paint- ing and injecting my tonsils he re- moved them cleanly snd completely without causing me the sligest pain. I remained in bed one whole day and went out the day following.

Now with children the general anaesthetic must be used, but with adults it certainly has many points m its favor. >

So if your tonsils shmlld be remov- ed and you are considering the matter, ask your family doctor about the use of a local anaesthetic in your particular case.

History Barred

(London Star)

The Australian Natives‘ Associat- ion is up in arms against the child- ren of Victoria being taught history from an officially adopted text book. Among its faults are a statement that the British collected a motley army and landed it at Galliploi, and, a- gain, that the United States, desiring no territorial gains, should be cred- ited with the loftiness of purposes and unselfishness rarely matched in history. It comes, it seems, from Am- erlca. We do not want any good citizens of Victoria to emulate the Mayor of Chicago and threaten to hit President Hoover on the nose or to start burning American classics. We would merely point out that while Canada and Australia are complain- ing about this bock, America itself has barred it, Americans may be weak on history, but they are first rate st business.

The St. Lawrence Deep Water-Way Problem By George J. rirznstrong IV.

In previous critics the questions arising to be discussed in the House nt Ottawa in connection with the proposed St. L£1'-‘.'l'8l‘l% project have been reviewed from the angle of cost and transportation, its possible effects 0n the Maritime Provinccs, etc. How- ever, nothing has been and about the available power and the question arises as to whether it will be of any or no benefit to invest in the harnes- sing of this power.

The discovery of a. method of util- izing energy for the use and conven- ience of man brought about the in- dustrial revolution; hence power is one of ths corner stonm of present day factory civilization. The owner- ship of Canada of approximately 4,000,000 horsepower in the St. Law- rence demands clear knowledge of the implications of such an asset in order that a wise national policy re- specting its development may be es- tsbiished and prosecuted. No natural streams, rivers or waterfalls possess an exact- and constant horsepower. Variations in flow day by day, month by month, and season by season. bring about wide ‘variations in the power capacity of the river. In order to convey a conception of this power it is well to look at the Lower St- Lawvence basin. The area there is about 230,000 square miles, the pres- ent population of the basin is 6,300,- 000. Its projected population for years 1941 and 1951 areassumedat 6,100,000 and 6,850,000 respectively with no sl- lowsnce for special increase of popu- lation due installation of the 4,000.00 horsepower on the St. Lawrence. Herc as indeed all Canada the importance of central electric stations is predom- inant. Practically all that power is hydro developed and of the power total consumed 85% or 90% is fur- nlshed by central stations. An ex- amination of the load factors annu- ally over considerable areas in Can- ada show 53% approximately. The marked difference between Canadian and American load factors show ten’ units of per cent. ‘This may be at- tributcd to the fact that one is steam, while the other is hydro, both of which show a great difference in their fixed and operating charges. The recently published correspondence between the Canadian and the Unit- ed States Government has accepted the Canadian view as basic to n con- tinuation of the St. Lawrnce deep water-way negotiations. In efIcct the American official position is that, while naturally and properly desiring their own share of the pow- er available‘ in the International rapids section, their interest in the St. Lawrence deep waterway is sole- ly as a transportation enterprise. Even with o, free export of power, it is difficult, they point out, to see how the state of Montana, for ex- ample, could bencfit by the power except in the most remote and in- direct manner. While the forego- ing is the official position, there is some evidence to show that there has been, and still is a deep seat- ed desire on the part of certain in- terests in the northeastern section of the United States to purchase Canadian Power. This desire is un- dcrstandable and qulic natural when the situation is understood. With changing personal in Democratic government it is always possible that renewed efforts might be made to change the present no-export policy, and the first factor in the relation between the adjacent and not dissimilar areas of the two coun- tries. The United States area. is a1- ready highly industrlalized, while the Canadian nrea. is tending to become so. The eastern end of each area has direct access to the sea, the Canadian ares. has already been de- limltated. The Canadian section of the Lower St. Lawrence basin with its urea and population, may justify the installation of from 13,000,000 to 17,500,000 horse power. The United States area, though but 7 per cent of the United States, contains more than 35 per cent of the total popula- tion. It is highly industrialized and contains some 300,000 industrial est- ablishments and about 1,500 public utilities. The population involved is a. little over 40,000,000, of the total horse power in use in 1925, about 25,- 000,000 only about 1,300,000 is devel- oped by water power. The total wa- ter power available would not justify the installation of more than about 4,000,000 horse power. It is a strictly limited resource, though on the oth-
