WEDNESDAY,

AT $4,000 AN HOUR

Coincident with a glowing tribute by our local contemporary to the ipeechmaking prcclivitlesoi Mr. A. El. MacLean in Parliament, we note the followdng comment in the Tc- ronto Globe, once the leading organ of Liberalism and now the declared

‘champion of policies better suited

to the country:

"By actual count oi one of The

Globe's Parliamentary correspond- mis there were twelve Conservatives, eleven. Liberals, three Progressives and a Laborite present in the Corn- mons at one time during the course of the Budget debate. A back- bcncher on the Liberal side was holding forth on the alleged mis- deeds cf the Government, advocat- ing reforms which had been urged arid discussed over and over again. Few, if any, of the members present were listening. poly the Hansard reporter, charged with the respon- ribiiity oi taking it all down for printing and distribution in the House journals, seemed to be paying any attention to the flow of oratory. The procedure was costing the coun- try about $4,000 an hour.

"The situation, one of fairly fre- quent recurrence, suggested that there was room for improving the efficiency of Parliamentary mach- inery, or at least for imprcvemt in the discretion of members of Parliament. The member had noth- ing new to add to debate-and none knew it better than himself. He was rpenking to the electors back home,

who, in due course, would receive copies of Hansard and be volumin- uusly apprised that their represen- tative had made a spcech in thc

House."

GANDHI & PACIFISM

Against the pleadings oi his own relatives and supporters, Gandhi has started on his threatened three- weeks’ fast which physician's be- lieve will cost his lite. He has done so, not in protest against the Brit- ish but against the attitude of his own race toward the "untouchables," the lowest caste of the community. The British Government has taken a. wise course by releasin Gandhi from the jail in Poona in which he was -serving sentence for his civil disobedience campaign. If the iviia- hatma. is determined to commit suicide there is no reason why the British officials should shoulder any responsibility, as they would have to do if he remaineci a prisoner. Gandhi has been held up as a type of the arch pacifist and non- ieslster. But it is a moot question whether his method is that of peaceable persuasion, as he claims and as no ‘doubt he believes, or whether it is a form of coercion of a peculiarly violent sort. The pac- ' ifism which exerts moral pressure 1' by threatened martyrdom is akin to the mental process of the child 5 who sulks because he cannot get what he wants. Indeed, thewholc theory of pacifism is shot through ' with inconsistencies when regard- ed as a principle oi conduct. Noth- ing can be regarded as a principle that is riot worth fighting for.

are playing a dangerous game. Some day a leader from the out- side majority may arise and dc- mand the "open shop" form of government. Then it will be bad for the restrictive rulers.

By the estimates laid before Parliament, the expenditure of the Government of Canada for the present year will be $364,884,000 apart from railway cost. In this total, the item to be voted for the Civil Service is $9,756,771. The cor- responding figure for 1929-30, the year before the present Govern- ment came into power, was $11,869,- 665. Thus, since the financial stress began, the cost of the Civil Service has been cut down by more than two million dollars a. year.

For a long time past the Repub- licans of the Irish Free State have engaged themselves in a resolute campaign towards the removal of the oath of allegiance to the Brit- ish Crown from the Free State Constitution. As is well-known, thc prime mover in this enterprise is President de Valera, who, whether in or out of ofificc, has never ceas- cd to advocate this policy, has chosen to make it a capital issue, and alike in his public speeches and in the Dail Eireann has persist- ently devoted his talents and ener- gies to the furtherance of this cause. Ho has insisted that it is oi crucial importance and has a direct bearing upon the paramount inter- ests oi Free State control of its own domestic affairs and upon the historic and long-waged writin- versy as to the complete freedom of the Irish people. g '

Nazis have removed from the Berlin City Hull the bust of Ger- many's first president, Fricdrlch Ebert. Yet Ebert, a. saddlcr, says the London Advertiser, W83 one of the noblest characters raised to high station by thc revolution. He was a moderate, kindly, sincere man, who filled his ofllce with a dignity and ability that did much to improve Germany's posit-ion in the estimation oi other nations. The action oi the Nazis reveals the puerile mentality of Germany's new rulers, who are not fit to have touched Ebert's shoe strings.

If Glndhi, the Hindu mystic. goes on with the three-necks’ fast which he proposes-and out o.’ which ob- servers believe he will not come alive-the fact should not be over- looked that the inspiration of his folly has nothing to dowith nat- ish policy in India. Gandhi calls the fast "e. process of sell-purifica- ticn," says there are "many rees- ons too sacred to mention" and denies any political motive. He wants "workers of unassnilable pur- ity" in his work for the "untouch- ables’ caste, has found "cases of shocking impurity" in the ranks, and trusts, apparently, that those who are unawrthy will be induced to quit the cause by the thought

THE YOUNGSTEB WHO l8 ALWAYS TIRED»

A youngster who formerly liked to play but now is content .to sit in the house or even outdoors and watch the others pill’ ‘because he feels tired all the time is not nor- mal, physically and the cause of his tiredness should be investigated.

A mother brought her ten year old boy to her family doctor to find out why he didn't want to play any more, after being practically "the leader of the gang" when he was younger. She stated further that he wasn't interested in his food, which she naturally thought was due to the fact that he didn't play.

As the doctor remembered thc youngster as being very active pre- viously, he examined him, found his tonsils in very bud condition from frequent sore throats and advised their removal. The youngster show- ed no improvement for a few weeksg likely due to some oi the polson| from tonsils being still in the sys- tem, but in three months was out playing with the youngsters again. full of energy and with o. real ap-. petite.

As you know, tonsils are not being removed to the same degree as they were, as it is felt that the tonsils

childhood. However it is still the opinion of the profession that where the tonsils are badly scarred or broken down from frequent sore throats, they should be removed. There are some youngsters who

are tired all the time and an exam- ination shows no trouble with teeth, tonsils, or other part of the body.

What is likely the cause of this ever present tiredness?

It is not likely that the physician could give a definite reason or rea- sons for the tiredness unless he learned everything about the young- sters daily life.

Sometimes parents will try to en- courage the youngster to eat more, and will give him some of the "home medicines" to build him up.

Dr. Jas. K. Evcrlihrt, Pennsyl- vnnia, in speaking of these young- sters that are always tired, says that not all the drugs in the phar- macopeia will restore such children unless there be proper readjustment of their lives. It will mean, perhaps, withdrawal from school. longer hours of rest and sleep, or removal of any conditions in the home or school that are causing emotional strain.

“If chronic fatigue is to be pre- vented or corrected it must be done by right living habits, rather than by the use oi drugs.”
