In the currmt imue of "I'm Mari- time Odd Fellow" it is noted op- » preciatively, in connection with this week's I. O. O. F. Convention at Charlottetown, “the vigour shown by the Odd Fellows of The Island and particularly of the City of meeting, which indicates a display ofmost commendable energy. The committee in charge are to be prais- ed for their fine frfltémfll Wvrk. which will have its climax with the close of the Grand Lodge sessions." It may.be added that our citizens generally are also appreciative of the work which the committee 1s d0- ing to make this weeks Convention one of the most successful ever held ln the Maritfmes. His Honour the - Lieutenant Governor, Premier Mac- Millan, His Worship Mayor Ken- nedy,-all are taking part in wel- coming the delegates on behalf of the Province and City. His Worship requests that our merchants decorate their places of business in honour of the visitation. This is already being done in the vicinity of the Oddfellows‘ building, and others will doubtless follow suit today. The programme provides for. a busy convention, but there will be time for the social amenities and for seeing something, at least, of the summer attractions of the Island That the visitation will prove a success in every way is the hope of all concerned.

LIBERAL FAILURE

In one of his radio addresses Mr. . king spoke with pride of the Lib- - oral. Summer School or Conference held at Port Hope in 1933. Rev. Charles H. Heustis is not proud of it. In discussing it in the Liberal Toronto Star he comments rather bitterly. In part, he says:-

“The school was a. mirror oi’ ‘the mind of Liberalism which is given to adolescent yearning: which it seems unable to make concrete. Certainly the Liberals of Canada are not today think- ing oohstructively but are satis- fied to repeat the old formulas about liberty by which they mean liberty to acquire property and

- do what you like with it. Karl

Dreher has hardly exonerated

the picture when he speaks of

Liberals as those "who in time

of peace stand for peace, in time

of war for war, who pity the poor and hope,that they will all get rich if pomible, who disap- prove strongly of oppression, would do something about it if they could, and who live always in the hope of reforming the ,Government after the next elec- , tion." .

Doctor Heustis geels that had the liberal opposition at Ottawa ad- hered to its principles, it would have been searching for a key that would unlock the door to a new social era of prosperity, leisure and security. The writer of this notable article in a Liberal newspaper leaves it at that. All the reform- ing and all the eflorts at reform and of making things better for man. woman and child have been left to the Bennett Government party. The Liberal party has long been impotent in Great Britain. What is to become of it here?

It is rather difficult to understand but nevertheless it is true that the blind are much happier than the deaf. This is" because those who are blind are a part of the family house- hold and take part in the conversa- tion anywhere they happen to be.

The deaf, not being able to near well, if at all, seem to “grow Ln- words", ‘do not take part in a con- versation» to any extent, and often become suspicious of those about them under the impression that they are being talked about.

Now there are some cases of deaf- ness that can be helped by various forms of treatment and there are others that must depend on various forms cf hearing helps or aids.

In this connection if; is interesting to learn that he Nottingham (Eng- land) Institute for the Deaf has is- sued a leaflet on the choice of hear- ing aids,

Hearing aids are divided into two groups:-

A. Some form of “Collector”, which collects the sounds such as the well known Ear Trumpet.

B. Electric Appliances-all based on the siLnple telephone, consisting of a microphone, telephone receiver, and a small dry battery, (Amplifiers are sometimes a part of this type of

A despatch speaks of the Klng’a “pay cuts" being restored. It is quite incorrect to consider the King as receiving a salary. Since 1760 the Crown land revenues have been paid to the public account and out o! these the civil list is drawn; but the King gives to the state much more than he and members of the RoyaLFamily receive from it. How- ever, when there was a general cut of salaries imposed on govern- ment servants the King expressed a wish that the civil list should also be reduced proportionately. How- ever, the clvll list must not be look- ed upon as the Kings salary.

Advice as to Selection: Collectors are more generally useful than the electric aids but of course are very noticeable wheras the electric aids are not.

Three Nos-

1. No person can decide as to the value of an “Aid" except the pat- lent.

2. No "Aid" should ever be bought without the previous oppor- tunity of two weeks’ trial.

3. No instrument maker should be trusted unless he will lend, on ap- proval for two weeks, any Aid which the patient selects as possible of use; with some reasonable arrange- ment for hire to cover wear and tear or risk from loss.

The above suggestions are so clear and apply in such a general way that our deaf friends would do well to study them.

Personally’ I have friends sing different makes of these electric "Aids", and it has made a great dif- ference in their business and family life; they are now a part of their surroundings anywhere they wish to go.

me, the possibility of Mr. Macken- zie becoming Minister of Finance, in the event of Mr. Kins b61118 91' ected w ofllce, is something to con- sider. Mr. Mackenzles views on money are also worthy of attention. Mr. Mackenzie wants the gov- ernment or Canada to issue half a billion dollars of money on the basis o1 the gold now held in the Bank of Canada and t0 1186 1t i0 reduce the public debt. The impli- cations of such a plan are Well Pill by the Calgary Herald which points out:

"There ls no question about where the money would come from in Mr. Mackenzieb scheme. It would come from the printing presses. It would be direct and ex- plosive inflation with all the pos- sibilities for evil that such a move has always involved. ‘The public should not be misled into the argu- ment that printing new money cream new wealth. Actually it re- sults in the depreciation of all money and it is particularly hard on the poor and the employees with, small wages. Every recipient with a fixed income, everyone with a savings bank deposit oran in- surance policy. every veteran with a pension and every individual who draws an old age pension would be injured by monetary inflation. ‘ “Contrary to popular belief the wealthy do not have their riches in bank deposits. Most of these peo- ple have their wealth in real es- tate, factories, forests, mines and so forth. so inflation benefits them. But the ordinary clI-ss 0f citizens sufler heavily under inflation. Dan- iel Webster said: ‘Of all the con- trivanoes for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which de- "ludes with paper money.‘ " Those who know m. King's views are convinced that he would not approve such a plan. Mr. King cannot be expected to go around the country denying responsibility for all the schemes and promises offered by his numerous followers. But he cannot avoid being associat- ed with statoments made by the more important of his colleagues, among whom is m. Mackenzie. Either Mr. Mackenzie should get off his inflation tack or Mr. King should repudiate it as part of his policy. Otherwise, the country will rest uneasily under the prospect, oven if. only a distant one, of hav- ‘ing a Minister of Finance with in- flation as his chief. policy.
