‘Mk. Mackenzie King's speech tn

Saint John last. night was the evid- ent funk into which he has been ‘thrown. Gone is the self-complac- ency and. assurance with which ne ‘addressed the electors in his broad- cast messages a few weeks ago. Undoubtedly, at the opening of the campaign, he was counting confid- ently on popular unrest, hard times and discontent over unemployment relief to sweep him back into of- fice, without making any special ‘effort to win popular favour. Now he is wildly beating the air, pre- dicting "Nationai Government‘ as Premier Bennett's policy, and threshing out with great vigor against all and sundry ‘third par- ties" which, in the recent Alberta contest, so completely overturned his own party prospects in that Pm- vince. Two things, in the opinion of the London Free Press, are responsible _,ior Mr. Kings change oi attitude. "One is the reaction to his r008!" srpeeches in Ontario.

‘WHISTORIC PRECEDENT

The New York Times recalls that» "Geography of Strabo," _...written at the beginning oi the Christian era. there is a detailed description of the unsuccessful expedition sent by Augustus Caesar into that part oi the world to which the ships of Mussolini have been proceeding, as did the bi- " remes and triremes and other ves- sels under command oi Aclill-s G81- l

"Their particular objective was Southwestern Arabia, but Ethiopia was included since, as was said by Strabo, the Arabian Gulf which separates the one from the otheris "very narrow." Accordingly, the

'.~Emperor Augustus conceived the purpose of winning these peoples to himself or “of aubjugating them." He expected to deal with them as wealthy enemies.

The leader of the expedition had long boats built at "the old canal" and proceeded with 10,000 infantry in 130 vessels, but lost many boats, crews and all, "yet not on account

. oi any enemy." On reaching the _ land for which they set. out they were deceitfully guided through "places that had no roads and, by circuitous routes, through regions destitute oi everything, or along rocky shores that had no harbors. One battle is described in which only two Romans were killed. while 10,000 fell of the enemy. But the Romans were "wiped out by hunger, fatigues, ' aces and v other evils."

Britain has kept her skirts clean in her dealings with Italy and Ethiopia. although the unveiling of the machinations oi U. S. “big in- terests" was calculated to beioul them.

Notes By The Way

_ It. Is charged that the Italians changed their official maps of Ethiopia recently, to show part of that country as belonging to Italy. Home iurther changes in the map would be desirable. The place where border strife showed itself recently is called "Ualual", in Can- adian papers. In many publicat- ions in the United States it be- comes "Ual Ual". English papers are sticking to "Walwal." And we haven't the ioggiest idea which is right-Hamilton Herald.

Regret is heard on all sides at the approaching retirement of Mr. James T. McKee, manager oi the Maritime Electric C0., who severe his connection with the organiza- tion sometime next month. Mr. McKee has been a most approach- able and considerate official, filling a difficult position with credit to himself and his company as well as benefit to the public.

Municipal bonded indebtedness by provinces in 1933 was as iol- iows, with the 1932 figures in brackets: Prince Edward Island $2.- 147,650 ($2,129,350), Nova Scotia $34,- 165,812 (8311500-140), New Bruns- wick $24,667,909 $24,752,873), Que- bec $479.608,472 $463,613,696).

Deliberately misleading is the reference in the Summerside Lib- eral press oi Aug. 31 to the ap- pointment of Mr. McCurdy Bell as Sheriff of Prince Country "in place oi F- J. E. Wright, resigned." Sher- iff Wright did not "resign" and the first notice he received was dated August 29 from the Clerk of the mecutive Council, informing him of Mr. Bell's appointment, to take effect Sept. ,1. Short notice to move out!

The total tax receipts oi all municipalities in Canada, including arrears and penalties, were as iol- lows by provinces, with the 1932 figures in brackets: Prince Edward Island $156,135 ($145,830), New Brunswick $2,295,247 ($2,441,063), Nova Scotia $6,440,471 ($6,613.675). Quebec $79,471,242 ($79,612,584), Ontario $128,080,995 ($131,755,503). Manitoba $17,104,553 ($17,290,889). Saskatchewan $15,823,648 ($17,616,- 4141. Alberta 011301.595 ($12,032- 471), British Columbia $17,521,554 ($17,089,972).

This was the verdict of the ex- perts oi New Zealand appointed to investigate the Douglas system of Social Credit: "The Douglas Social Credit proposals are perhaps ideal- istic tn intention, but certainly de- tfmental and retrog-ressive, if ever the application oi them were ad- mitted. The expressed and applied assumptions cannot bear logical analysis, nor even, (allowing ior the falsity oi the assumption) is there any attempt made to derive logical condusions."

Among the new appointments by the Lea Government is that oi Mr. Wilbert Araenauit, Mt. Carmel, to the position of engrossing clerk in the Bummerside Registry Office. In the interests of economy it was said the Liberals would not» appoint a third man in this office, but were going to get along with two. How- ever, the Hon. Marin Gallant in- elated that his appointee get the lob. economy or no economy. The Summersido registry office staff now consists of Messrs. Bennett Rally, Registrar; Roy E. Maclean, Assistant Relief-rat. and Wilbert Araenault, Bngrcasing Clerk.

Taxpayers have a right to take their choice between paying $300 a yiear to keep a boy in jail or $90 to keep him in school.

When you eat a meal, what is the effect on your work? Scientific investigators have repeatedly in- Vesiikcted. and repeatedly answer- ed that the effect is bad. But their studies have. generally been based on the assumption that the meal is about cue-third of your daily diet, since you eat 3 meals a day. Now Howard W. Haggard qndlggn A, Greenberg, in a book "Diet and Efficiency", report that the best schedule is 5 a day, all compara- tively light, and that after a light meal in mid-morning or mid- afternocn your efficiency is in- creased 10 p.c.

The proposal made by the vice- president of the Baltimore City Council in award careful motorists a token or symbol of “honour and merit" which is to be displayed on their cars is not new, but it has a novel feature in that it is planned to award the symbol to all motor- ists, on faith at the start Magis- trates and judges would be em- powered to take away the mark o1 merit on violation oi the law o‘: rutlies of safety-Philadelphia Bul- e n.

In this country, as In the United States, third parties have never been popular. In both countries there have arisen at various times third parties, which looked as if they might sweep all before them. They have had a certain amount of temporary support, but have in the end faded away. There may be a realignment oi the parties in Canada, just as there has been in England and, as-is going on in the United States today. yet in the end Canada will likely stick to the two- party system, as the best suited to our parliamentary system oi gov- ernment-London lfiee Press.

In England, as an exchange points out, they are not folding their arms and husbandlng their resources, but up-and-doing in the confident belief that the tide is turned, and we are on the way to renewed progress and abundant prosperity. The Southern Railway has placed contracts to the value of ten million pounds for electrical equipment, in anticipation of future electrification.

Sir,—In view of conditions univer- sally prevailing regarding the com- pensation to the producers 0f p0- taloes, especially in this Province, l any new developments will be , eagerly sought. Recent islation in the United States, which in years past has been the only prof- itablc market for our potato pro- ducers, has great potential pos- sibiiities. On Aug. 14th a bill pass- ed Congrcss called “Potato Con- trol," and in order w explan the matter 1 cannot do better than quote in full from a recent issue oi the Ncul York Tribune as fol- lows: “In ‘Potato Control’ passed by both Senate and House there are provisions so extreme that it is fair to doubt whether Congress understood them. On its passage through the House August 14, only one hour was allowed for ‘ ‘ and individual speeches were 1irn- ited to live and three minutes. In the Senate the debate was leas than an hour. It is fair to assume Republican Representative Clifford R. Hope of Kansas was right when he said: ‘if this measure could be adequately and thoroughly discus- sed on the flocr, there would not be fifty votes in the House in favor of it.‘ "
