MR. BENNETTS APPEAL

The fact that there are objectors -some of them within the Prlnlc Minister's own party—to Mr. Ben- nett's policy of economic reform, is not surprising. It means that his appeal is to the rank and file of

, the people of Canada. not to the old party shibboleths. The consen- sus of opinion published in various Liberal and other newspapers goes to show that his statements are meeting with strong public support. There are of course, die-bards in every party who cannot or will not admit the need of economic reform. These are the laissez faire men l0 whom Mr. Bennett refers, and whose influence in shaping public policies ls definitely over. In this connection thc Ottawa Journal sug- gests that the objectors-if they are thinking of party-might remem- ber that it has been the left flank of Conservatism which has preserv- ed the party as a. living organism and force. That is as true of Eng- land as it is true of Canada. It was

;Pitt who reformed the new Tory Party out of the wreckage left by North and who led it back to the land of promise and left it there for more than forty years; canning, the devout disciple who, when the beacon fire lit by his dead master was dying down, strove with the vain hands of his genius to feed tho flame. Later on there was Peal. who taught his party new ideas of trade; Chamberlain and Randolph Churchill, and lastly, and master Of them all, Benjamin Disraeli, prophet and evangelist of Tory Democracy. And so in Canada. It was sir John Macdonald who fought successfully to weld progrrssive ele- ments into the Liberal-Conservative Party. It was Sir James Whitney who made it in Ontario a patent force for reform; Borden and Meighen who continued and 1m- proved upon the Macdonald tradi- tion.

With all their variety of gift and temperament and circumstance, the influence these men exercised on the party, by conversion from within or by pressure from without. had a great common feature. All alike were dedicated to the task of seeing that the organism did not perish by a. failure to adapt itself to a now environment. They were unwilling to have the party remain inert in the face of some entirely fresh and dangerous condition, trusting to old proved weapons

A BOOTH BIOGRAPHY

A biography of Geneal William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. by St. John Ervine has been published and is of special interest in view of the recent election of a new chief. The Army is now a popular institution, but in its early days it went through an ordeal of persecution. One reviewer says: “Fierce opposition was stirred up against them and they were de- nounced by the rich from pulpits and in the press, while the poor mobbed them in the streets. Lime was thrown in their eyes; bricks were hurled against young girls; often a procession would arrive at the meeting place with torn clothes and bleeding bodies, but they arriv- ed, and Booth would say: "Now's the time to get photographed!” In 1882, when Catherine Booth went to Switzerland the'whole country rose against her, "and she was cast into prison.

Cardinal Manning was one of the early friends of’ the movement. Gradually opinion changed. The pol- ice found it better to protect the

Balvationists than to arrest them.

BOW LIFE SPAN MIGHT BE LENGTIIENED FOR- THOSE OF MIDDLE AGE

Before the days of the educated physician Nature simply ceded out those who were not rugged, and infectious diseases —- diphtheria. scarlet fever, typhoid, small pox, and many others—took so many that even a's late as 1800 the expectation of life at birth was about 35 years.

What have doctors done to pre- serve life since 1800?

1n 1929 the expectation of life was 61 for females and 53 for males. This has been accomplished by the saving of babies at birth and dur- ing their first year, and by 0V8!" coming to a great extent the infec- tious diseases that formerly curried off so many thousands yearly.

However there is another side of the picture that should make us do some thinking.

President R. C. Wallace, Univer-

sity of Alberta, reminds us of the fact that while the expectation of life, reckoned from, birth, has in- creased by 25 years during the past 125 years, nevertheless the life ex- pectation of a man of 40 to-day is no greater than it was sixty years ago, and for a man of 55 it. is even less. ~ Now one explanation of why men of 40 are not likely to live any longer than those of that age of one hundred years ago is that a number of thesc men were never very rug- ged and others would have been among the number who would have died from infectious diseases had they not been saved by medical science.

However most investigators be- lieve that the increased stress of life of the past 35 years tells more heavily after middle age in our present civilization.

Personally, while I believe the above two facts are true, I believe that much of the tenseness that tires and kills is dlle to our unwill- ingness or perhaps our inability l0 relax even when we have time and opportunity to do so. That careless or thoughtless eating habits and wrong intestinal habits enter into the breaking down process of the body as we grow older has been well established. 4

(Vancouver Province) Captain Joseph Bowler, who died last week at his home at Levis.

aeedog. He was born of a. line of sailors and made his first voyage when two years old on the ship ln which his father was carrying sup- plies to the troops in the Crimea. He was his father's mate at sixteen and master of his own ship a year later. In this long career at sea. he mmanded more than a hun- dred ships, and had a record. all- told, of 366 voyages. These voyages took Captain Bernler to all the seas and round the globe a score of times before he settled down to a shore Job as governor of the jail at Quebec.

But the shore job was not to be for long. It merely gave the captain an opportunity to delve ‘further into the literature of Arctic exploration, inwhlclihe had been interested from boyhood. Then, when the op- portunity offered. or rather when he had made his opportunity, he was off on his travels again. Th8 islands of the Arctic archipelago to the north of Canada were to quite an extent a nomankv. land and Ber- nler conceived the idea. of making sure that hey were formally claimed for Canada. It took the en- thiusiastic Bernie!‘ some years to convince the authorities at Ottawa that his project was worth while, but at last the necessary mcney was voted and he was able to purchase a German ship which had been specially built for polar work, and with her. renamed the Arctic. he took up his work in the frozen regions.

The first northern voyage was made early in the century and in the next twenty years. Bernier made seventeen voyages to the Arctic and spent twelve winters there exploring. setting up monu- ments, tracing the line followed by various British exnlore~ . making mineral and fisheries surveys and establishing Mounted Police posts. In the end he knew more of the Canadian Arctic. its needs and its ssibilities, than nnv other man. The effect of Bemlers work-the work which he otnceived and car- ried out-was to establish and con- solidate Canada's claim to the num- erous islands between the northern shore of the continent and the North Pole. British explorers had claimed many ci’ them before and the British claim had been trans- ferred to Canada. But there were numerous loose ends to tie up and Bemier tied them. The islands. wholesale and in detail, are now Canadian, as they would not have been had not Bernicr gone after them. It may be thought that as the islands are barren an uninhabited, it was an empty prize the enthusi- astic explorer won. But there are valuable minerals up there, there are fish and there are furs, and some day the resnurces may be worth developing. In any case, it is worth something to Canada to be certain that she is not hemmed in by alien territory to the north, as she has been to the north-west by Alaska. One day, with the develop- ment of air transnrrt, it is possible one of the world's great trade routes may lie across these same barren northern islands.
