Fear is expressed that Canada might be called upon tc give up some of its advantages under the Canada-Utiited Kingdom trade agree- ment rather than stand in the way of an agree- ment between Britain and the United States.

Notes By The Way

In this country we have Ind no need to resort w the appo-ntment. o; dictators or the introduction of what the Premier calls ‘alien poli- tical theories’ ln derogation of popular liberty. so long as the elec-

1 tors stand firmly behind the Gov- ! ernment this happy state of affars will continue. The necessary sup- port must be accorded to the ad- ministration if Britain ls to con- tinue to progress, while maintain- ing her ancient. constitution in full vigor. To hand over her destin‘es to reckless experlmentallsts would be wholly unthinkable and con- trary t0 all the traditions 0t the natlorw-Belfast Telegraph.

I believe this single paIBBPBPh from "The Child Who Butters", written by Dr. Frederick W. Brown 1n Hygela magazine tells the While swry as to the cause of stuttering. 1

A.» long as the child was blinking- only of his play. nothing else 0n hi8 mind for the tune being, no one else near h.m, he spoke clearly, distinct.- ly, without the slightest trace of stuttering; this shows that. there nothmg wrong with hi; tongue, his lips, his vocal cords or other parts that, help to form words. It proves completely that, it; is ner- vousness or self consciousness that causes the hesitation in speaking.

"The chfcl who stutters is, by nature, like every other child. At hotne. at school, at play. he acts and thinks and feels exactly as other children do.

Ramsay MacDonald faces the condemnation of the yea-rs. and. what, a condemnation it Ls!

In his own home, with those

It ls believed that. stuttering be- gins. (l) under conditions of physi-

umc of sudden or intensive emo- tions experience, usually of a type producing fear, anger, or anxiety; 131 in a. situation '11’! which a child imitates another stutterer, deliber- atclv at ﬁrst, and then ﬁnds that he is unable to control hls own speech; (41 conflicts in the child's mind.

The treatment. ls evident. The child must. be taught to mix with others: more. use the telephone, read aloud in the presence of others or if possible attend one of the recog- niu-tl scholos for stammerers.

more complete than that. of Ram- say MacDonald, and the ingredi- ents of that tragedy are to be found. not in the lnner councils of the British Conservative party, not ln the drawing rooms of t-hc great. London houses where he was. for 11 brief time, a sort. of saw- dust, llon; not. tn any group of men and women, but. deep within hls own complex personality. Years ago a poor boy wondered about the moors above ,.mouth, which overlook the Moray Firth. He was burning. one be- lieves. with a certain indignation -an indignation which had its roots in an overwhelming ambition ln a feeling that he was p. fellow ill-treated by life-and he was de- termined that. the ramparts of hls native heath would never set the limits of hls world. Other ele- ments contributed to hls deter- mination. and later to his success. He had a deep love of learhlltg, a desire for culture, and that capac- lty which ls essentially Scotch for dogged evangellelsm. He could ‘not buy a constituency, as the sons of richer men might do; he had no hereditary clalm upon privilege. yet he had a tempera- ment. suited to the excellence of such privilege. He was an aristo- crat. born ln n rude cottage and he ‘ did not like lt at all. One pollt-lcal channel lay open to hlm-—the La- bour movement. He travelled along ft. s

It. is difficult. to say where ln- slncerlty ends and sincerity be- gins. Ramsay MacDonald's dot:- ged evangellclsm was bound to tu- serl; itself. and his political career became a great and noble crusade. Perhaps for a time he forgot the glittering prizes which gllmmered far ahead on the road he was travelling-the prizes which Lord Birkenhead, that. cynical lndlvld- ualist, so fltttngly praised berm-e he dled. He was one of’ that sturdy group of fighters; he fought well and fearlessly. He suffm-d calumny. disgrace, physical dan- ger. ostraelaatlon. poverty. He stuck to hls guns. He was a pacifist ln the Great War. He was the com- lng man. He knew lt, and he blded hls time. The hopes of Labour of the masses. were pinned upon hlm, and he liked this, too, for it touched hls vanity and gratified hls eva. gellclam. I

But something else was develop-

ing within MacDonald during those strussllnz years. He was always an autocrat; he ruled hls political headquarters as the feudal lord might. rule a household. He mar. rled money. He was solitary, aloof, s. little condescending. It began to be noticed (long before the 193! stampede, 1on8 before the first prime mfnlstershlp) that Mr. Mac- Donald set. himself out to be pleasant to the great personages with whom he came lnho contact, and that. the gulf between himself 8nd 1118 Dirty was widening. Still they looked to hlm - this man, so rlchly endowed. who had been given so much which they lacked. this man who would pen! u a Moses to lead them away from the land of the Phat-outs.

He has marched with the old guard, as Chamberlain (the one-time Republican Mayor of Birmingham) mashed .so long ago. But. unlike Chamberlain. he marched with l1is head turned. looking back at. the country he had left forever.

Political inconsistency ls one thing; congenital weakness an- other. He had not the strength to remain a Labourlte; he had not the strength to remain even a. Ll- beral; and at, the end. when he had become a die-hard Tory, he had not. the strength to admit that he was no longer a Labourfte.
