The Car Ferry Contract

There )3 satisfaction in the an- nouncement that at last tenders have beerrcalled for the construction of thenew car ferry, and that a definite data has been fixed for its comple- tion. Unfortunately, there was coli- siderable misunderstanding on this important point- It was hoped the steamer would be ready by the fall b: 1930, and the assurance of the railway management. obviously giv- en in good faith, supported this ex- pectation. The difficulties have per- haps been greater than was antici-

to correct the misconatruction plac- ed on certain of hLs remarks made at Hamilton on Monday night." The amusement is derived from the recol- lection of a recent editorial _com-

' ment in the Globe on a certain state-

ment oi Lord Derby before the Liv- erpool Press Club. His Lordslilp had said that never, in the whole course ol‘ his life, did he have reason to complain of the inaccuracy of‘ any newspaper report of his speeches. His only complaint was will him- sclf. next morning. when he read what he had said, and still later when he heard the remarks people passed about what hehad said. The Globe. commending this statement as o. “frank admission,” deplored the tendency of many speakers to adopt‘ "the old dodge of blaming the reporters when they get into trouble through printed reports of their speeches"; agreed with a contempor- ary that “it is the deadly accuracy of the report that makes them try to shift the blame for their indlscre- tlons on an innocent party, to wit, the reporter," and added, with em- phasis: “in fact newspaper readers ‘smile indulgently when they see complaints by public men that they have been misi-eported. Caution in speech is even more important than watching one's step."

Killing The Dairy Goose

The story of the mythical house- wife who killed the goose that laid the golden egg has a modern par- allel in the policy of the King Gov- ernment with respoctto the dairy in- dustry of Canada. The dairy indus- try has dropped many a golden egg into the treasury of the country. but it is now threatened with extinction, thanks to the tariff tinkering of machinery-minded politicians, who have traded the home market, our farmers’ birthright, for the privilege o! assembling more American auto- mobiles. New Zealand buys the auto- mobiles, which she would have to buy in any case. and in return is given free access to our butter miir- ket. _

The result is trenchantlyoutllned in the brief prepared by the Nation- al Dairy Council, published in yes- terday's Guardian, which will be sub- mitted next week w‘ theTariff Ad- visory Board. Convincing evidence is furnished to show‘ that the de-' cline in dairy production is attrib- utable directly to the wholesale dumping of New Zealand butter in- to Canada, particularly during the months of winter production. Under modern conditions it is necessary that the dairyman‘s capital be em. played full time if profitlis to result. fnother words. winter dairyink must. be continued if the industry is to survive. owing to the reversal of the seasons as between the Antipodes and the northern hemisphere. the surplus of butter from New Zealand can reach our market at the critical season of short production and high cost. and thus effectually prevent any sufficient equaliaztioa of c t and selling price. Thebutter market being in the last‘ analysis the great regulator of the entire dairyindus- m. it is not possible indefinitely w increase the sale price “of other pro- ducts while that of butter “mam; stationary.

Notes By Tillie l

Soviet annuals still plotting arid

planning to revolutionize the world.

according to the statements oil-Prav- da. its official organ at headquart-

ers in Moscow. Its recent issue di- V,

reefs attention to the United States

as a hopeful field for present activ- Y lty and points out how its purposes‘

can best be served-

Advantage is to be taken of the unemployment .in American cities ‘to stir up strife, foment strikes and exploit the negro population‘ to join in making trouble. They are to be urged to join the commiinistic so- cieties and organizations that already

‘evxist, or other new organizations of

their own.

The Pravda says that the entire proletariat of unskilled labor, negroe-i women and youths should rezelve special attention, and i: urges the fcrmatlonof a new "League of Unit- ed Trade tfnluns“ ns the chief enc- iny of the American Federation of Labor. It says that this new body with members within the ranks oi the old unions, can "bore from willi- ln" and develop class warfare by op- uning a merciless fight against em- ployers and the bourgols United States Government. '

United States Communists are also ‘instructed to work among unemploy- ed ln a campaign for unemployment insurance. a seven-hour workday. and a five-day working week. They must also support the uegroes. who are demanding complete racial. soc- ial and political equality. Labor strikes are to be encouraged in every way, and the smallest strike in Ani- erica is now proclaimed in the Mos- cow press under bold headlines as if it were a. great world event.

Little Attention need be paid to the Torontou Star's rehash of its own previous rumor that Mr. Bennett will retire from the Conservative leader- ship- That journal may be consider- ed very ill-informed and unreliable in its statements about the Conser- vative party and its leading men. 1t may be said of the Toronto paper re- ferred to that it is nothing if not sensational. Many prominent Liberals in Toronto distrust it.

To beautify Ottawa is a grand Dur- posc in the mind of Premier King. On new years day he gave an inter- view to the press outlining his views and intentions. The Government de- sires to create in the heart of Otta- wa a great open space to be called Confederation Park, somewhat simi- lar to Central Park in New York. Hyde Pal-k in London and the Place dc la Concorde in Paris. This park is to extend south from the‘ Parlia- ment Buildings to Lisgur Street. a distance of about three eighths of a mile and from Elgln Street east across the canal to Nicholas Street. about; the same distance, but beyond

A start has been made recently to remove the buildings from within this large park area. 0f the build- ings which remain only the City Hall and Knox Church are of importance in size or character These are also to be removed. 'Kriox Church- was built about 60 years ago and ls of ini- poslng size and in good condition. It is an immensely cos ly undertaking to remove all the b ldings from an area which was covered with build- lngs and almost half a t mile in length and_ breadth. But the decree has gone forth that this must be done.

The Canadian capital must be made resplendent and gorgeous at what- ever cost to the taxpayers of the Dc- minlcn without asking their con- sent. The nabobs and high salaried officials will bask in its beauty and splendor, while not one in a hund- red of the workers and plain people of the country will be enabled to share in the enjoyment. The Prime Minister no doubt enjoys the kudos which come of having his fame ex- panded by belng conspleuo ‘yfcon- nected with the adornment of Otta- wa.

Very patriotic and hrltlsh are the announcements now sent out by the Liberal propagandists from Ottawa. Hon. Charles Stewart. Minister of the Interior is quoted as saying that Rt Hon. Arthur Meighen said years ago. that if Great Britain ever again became involved ln war. the-people oi‘ oansda ought to be consulted u to what action thly desired ‘this country to take bcfoip sending‘ troops out of the country.

ded that he had no doubt as towhat l

CURING SEVERE IIOITRE WIT!!- OUT SURGERY - \

s One of .i.he common ailments found in all countries is what i8 RXIOWK! B! cxopthalmic goltre, or Grave's disease. which in addition to an enlargement of the thyroid gland in front of the neck, there is also palpitation of the heart. Even in mild cases, the heart beats 100 to the minute. In ldvflncfid Oi‘ severe cases the heart may go 200 to the minute. .

In about three out of every four cases there is a bulging of the eyes, and when the patient turns the eyes downward the upper lid does not im- mediately follow the eyeball as in normal individuals. There is also ex: treme nervousness. '

Further Bi1\i1il0 processes of the body are working harder and faster

‘ than normal even when the patient is at rest. _

The cause is due to some irritation or excitability of the thyroid gland in the neck. Just whether it is a poison from some infection. emotional dis- turbance, or just an inherited tend- ency, is not knovm.

For awhile iodine treatment was used, then rest, thcn combination of rcst and lodiric,_removal of infections, diet and so forth.

Then came the use of surgery, the removal of a large portion of ‘the gland, with brilliant results.

And Just when we are thinking of the wonderful results our surgeons are securing in ‘these severe goltre cases, it is refreshing to turn to the equally brilliant results obtained by our medi- cal practitioners without the useof surgery.

Dr. I. Bram, Philadelphia, reports a stud of 200 cases of the severe type of goltre which have been under his care.

His report shows that the average time required for the patient away from customary duties was about fif- teen weeks. In more than i’! per cent of cases, no time wins lost from ordin- ary duties.

Dr. Bram followed up all the cases for from three to ten years and finds that 1am cases, that is about-Bl per cent, are in perfect health, 116 or 6 per cent are in fair health and able to do their work, but still show some goltre symptoms and heart enlarge- ment, and about 63 Vor 3pm‘ cent still have severe symptoms, but these had been treated surgically before receiv-

' ers froinlexopthalmic goitre, as the the canal will extend farther south}

ing medical attention. Now what does this mean to suffer-

ailmcnt is called?

That before undergoing surgery they should put themselves under the care 0! 9-116 fllllllly doctor, and carry out his work, and carry out his treatment of rest, fresh air, dict, and so forth,

It has been found, as in Dr. Brams cases that this brings a large per-mm. I86 0f 011285; X ray treatments have been shown to be effective; whilst surgery is the last resort.
