ECONOMIC RECOVERY

- La Patric, a leading French lang- llﬁgc newspﬂflcl‘ in Montreal, says: “To most observers it would seem that the bottom of the economic depression has been reached and t thatall changes in actual condi- tions will be for the better in fut- ure. This new economic orientation will be the result of a collective ef- fort on the part. of all national energies, each working in its own sphere of action, Such a movement which promises much is that which has been inaugurated co-operativc- 1y by the Canadian Manufacturers c Association, the Boards of Trude and the great Canadian railways 1- in order to produce the most ef. ‘icctive treaty between Canada and Australia. ‘The organizers of this movement foresee great trade pos- sibilities between both Dominions and for this reason are cooperating with Australian business men 1n mutual exchange o1’ cargoes, one of the boats of the Canadian Gov- ernment Merchant Marine, the Canadian Constructor, of 10,500 tons, comes to the fore in this plan. This ship will sail from Australia on September 6 with a. cargo comm“- ing a. large number of Australian . products which, as result of the new "city. Will ﬁnd advantageous mar- kets in Canada. This cargo reach- c8 Montreal 0n ‘October 17; a. week later-October 27—the Canadian Constructor will leave for Austral- ia loaded with Canadian produce. As can be readily seen, this move- ment 1s of the greatest importance. The promoters need the utmost of W-Ollwation from Canadian ex- lccftcfi ﬂhd importers, for it is "cccccliry to make the treaty as ad- vantazeous to Australia as to Can- ada, this in order that both Domin- ions will receive mutual profit. The success of the treaty not only means direct proﬁt to Canada, bu; also the making possible of further treaties of equal value with other

depression, unemployment, fallihil revenues and increased expendi- tures have placed a load on Prime Ministers, heads of Governments and Cabinet Ministers which it i5 difficult for the ordinary man t0 appreciate. .

The turn of events in Great Brit- ain which resulted in the forma- tion of a new National Government has been followed by a realign- ment of the elements in the Labor Party which will mean political death for some of its outstandinl leaders, and the possible end of the Labor Party a5 a’ powerful factor in British politics for some time to come. ,

The business of being an inno- cent bystander on the streets of New York scents to be advancing to the status of very unhealthy occupations. New York has a lot 0! quick-on-thc-trigger gangsters. ,To cope with them, the police have been ordemd to be quick on the trigger, too. The net result is that when cop meets gangster bullets fly with wild abandon, and any- body wlthin the adjoining three blocks can consider himself lucky if‘ hc doesn't". stop one. For a. long time it was Chicago that gave the nation an object lesson 0n the fear- ful plight a city can get itself 1M0 by tolerating its gangs. Now, ap- parently, it/is New York's turn to present the lesson. So far the n8.- tion’s leading city has been pre- senting it very graphically. <

At least one Canadian who has been motoring in England of ictc has gained impressions that should be instructive to his own People. Mr. J. Mercer Denholme, editor 0f the Blenheim News-Tribune, gave some impressions of his visit. He said: Whereas speed seems essen- tial to “enjoyment" here, and “cut- ting-in" is the indulgence of most drivers, courtesy is the rule in England. “Every motorist seems to be considering the interests of the other fellow." If one driver notices a. ear coming from the rear and ali- other approaching from the front, and realizes that it would be dan- gerous for the fellow behind to try to pass, he holds out his hand. The man behind recognizes that there is danger ahead, and he doesn't try tn pass-not until the man in front waves him to come on. There is no such things as "cutting-ln’ on the Emglish highways. Motorists speed up or slow down, as occas- ion demands, to protect the lives of their fellow-motorists. The cus- tom is English, and it's courteous.”

An Emglishnian driving in this manner might take a little longer time to reach his goal, but he would reach it with safety for him- self and his passengers. It is worth while.

When Great Britain adopted free trade it was for the purpose of giving the people cheap food and thus enable her to dominate the world in manufacturing. It was believed by Cobden and Bright and their disciples that if Great Britain tlucw open her markets to

TWO KNOWN FACTS ABOUT ‘ CANCER.

As cancer stands almost at the top of the list as a cause of’ death every thinking person is wondering how much longer it will be before the cause and cure will be discovered by the medical profession.

As we think of tuberculosis, typh- oid fever, malaria, yellow fever, the plague, rheumatism, heart disease, diabetes, pernicious anaemia, diph- therla, lockjuw (tetanus) rabies (poisoning by a. mad dog), antisep. tic surgery, and other wonderful dis- coveries and cures, it seems hard to understand why this simple growth, and cancer is simply an overgrowth of tissue, has defied all research men to date. - ~

Yet many things have been dis- covered about cancer, about what it is and what it 1s not, so many things in fact that if put together would ﬁll a great many volumes.

What, however, has been learned that is of value to us, and that may help prevent deaths from cancer?

That people inherit a disposition or tendency to it and that some form ‘of irritation in these people develops the cancer. .

That this tendency to develop cancer is one of the results of our civilization is admitted by research workers, as cancer is almost un- known among natives living the natural outdoor life. Whether it is cold or hot. in these countries doesn't make any difference. It is where the civilization is on a ‘high’ standard that cancer is found.

Now what are we to do if the cause and cure of cancer is un- known? ' ~

We must simply remember the two points already discovered and mentioned above.

(a) the tendency to cancer can be inherited (b) any irritation in these individuals may cause cancer.

This means then that after the age of thirty if there is any ten- dency to cancer in the family that any persistent irritation or any lump anywhere on the body, should immediately make us suspicious. and the family doctor should be consulted at once.

As you know the percentage of cures by X ray, radium and surgery, where cancer is treated early, is very high, whereas delay in consult- ing a. physician and delay in treat- ment may cost a life.

Remember then what is known about cancer-ifs hereditary ten- dency. and that it starts from some irritation.

Trades And Labor ‘ Congress Of Canada

(Canadian Labor Press)

‘The recognized head of the or- ganized labor movement of ‘tho Dominiorl is the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, a body which is especially representative of in- ternational trade unionism, the greater part 0f the affiliated mem- bership being derived from inter- national organizations oPcrB-UHB on the North American continent. The Trades and Labor Congress dates its origin from the year 1073, when a convention of trade union representatives was held in Tor- onto. The Canadian Labor Union. as it was then called, met in Ottawa in 1874, and through the courtesy of the then premier, the Right Hon. Sir John A.
