In 1930 a new high record was established in Canada for creamery butter production, the amount being 185,751,061 pounds, which was again exceeded in 1931 when 225,955,246

pounds were produced. For the ten month; ended October, 1932, the

estimated output is shown as 186,-

989,818 pounds, which is about 4 per cent less than for the same period

in 1931. Assuming that the same ratio of decrease is maintained, the product/on for 1932 should be about 205,000,000 pounds. Canada herself is a heavy consumer of butter, but

Much as they profess to hate lk

American Congressmen are getting

ready to impose a general sales tax in order to balance the national budget. They have come to the con- clusion that this end cannot be achieved ollierwlse. Even V»ce-Pres- ident-elect Garner, now Speaker ol the House of Representatims, and long au opponent of thc idea, iS preparing to support such a tax. Not long ago u number of American Congressmen and Senators Paid a visit to Ottawa for the purpose of examining the workings of the sales

tax machine.

Mr. .lcssle Silverman, an Ameri-

can who was recently selected as commander of London Post No. l. American Legion, has written an interesting article for the “Statistic- al Rc\'ie‘.\" in which he points Out that Great Britain spends approxi- mately $100,000,000 annually for ad- vert..-ing. British busiuessnien are firm believers in the power Of PT111’ ter's ink and they have demon- strated, in a large way, that it pays \vonderi'.1l sales tiiviclends.

In South Africa on Tuesday the

govcmment decided, in the face of serious defections and assaults from the South African and Labor par- ties, that South Africa would re- main on the gold standard. Mr. Hav- enga minister of finance, admitted that South Africa was virtually off the gold standard, The circulation of sovereigns has been stopped, the free export of gold has been prohib- ited and the banks have been re- lieved of their obligaton to redeem their bills in gold.

On January 17, Mr. Lloyd George

will celebrate his 70th birthday. The occasion will be marked by a de- monstration staged by his Carnarvon

constituents. He has represented

them in the Birtish House of Com- mons for 42 years, which probably constitutes something ol a record. There may be other instances to match this one, but we do not recall them. Just imagine, 42 years of un- interrupted represeutation, never meeting personal defeat in all that time. Mr. Lloyd George has had a spectacular and brilliant career. with plenty of "ups" and the usual share of “dofwns." Through thick and thin, however, and no matter what the national issue nor what Liberal fortunes as a whole turned out to be. Carnarvon has struck with the fighting Welshman. Surely this is a remarkable tribute.

It is a difference of oplnlon which

.makes horse races, said Mark Twain. If we were all alike in our

opinions, that would make a sorry and a drab world. But there is such e. thing as being 000 Opin ousted. And this is most common among those who have inherited or borrowed

their opinions, and when asked to defend them are quite unable to do it. Stand by your opinions, lf YOU are sure as is humanly possible that they are right. But if they have come down to you through the

family, or have been borrowed from your associates or picked up here and there and everywhere and tucked into your mind as YOU W°‘11d tuck a pretty pebble into your pock- et, dont be ready to fight for them or even to dispute much about them. It is always quite possible that YOU are wrong and that the other fellow is right.

iN'|lERES'.l‘ ON MONEY INVESTED IN RADIUM

Four years ago the Common-

cancer.

What was the interest on the ln-

vestment of this half million dol-

ln three and a half years have re- ceived treatment in these various centres. Of 3031 patients treated for cancer in all stages 2010 were alive and free of symptoir. alter three years; whilst 67 were known to be dead. Of 1265 cases classed as “operation cases, 54 per cent are a1i\'e and free of symptoms; whilst only 4 per cent are known to have died although the fate of nearly 25 per cent was unknown.

It is to be hoped that the exten-

sive find of radium in Canada will soon make this wonderful substance more readily obtainable by all the nations of the world, because rad- ium in many cases has definitely proven its power to cure cancers

The big point however is that

these radium centres are now not only treating many cancers, but are making it easy for those with can- cer to receive treatment or advice.

To leam as early as possible if

cancer is threatening, the advice is to watch any lump anywhere in the body, any sore that is very slow in healing, any blood from the bladder or the bowel, any persistent indig- estion.

The earlier the cuse_is discovered

the greater is the chance for cure by surgery, radium, radon seeds, or the X ray.

Until the cause of cancer is dis-

covered all that can be done is to watch for suspicious symptoms and rcport to the family doctor or to a cancer clinic. f

The Light That Tired

And why Should it not? If the physic'sts are right, a photon ol’ light hops out of one atom, collides with another and is swallowed up ’ by il, is imooked our again by a l third, and so passes a restless life of fortultous concourse. If per' chance it struggles through to thc outside of a star from th’s giddy interior of spinning and jumplns

electrons, a worse fate awaits it. - Gaily it leaps off the stellar sur- face, only to find it cannot land. On and on it rushes through seem`nglv limitless vistas. without sight of foothold. At last it des- cries a sun like the one from which it has escaped and wliitlier, like the proflig‘al, lt would fain return. It tries to t\u'n aside from its nar- row patli, but, alas! its momen- | tum has carried it on and it must 5 wait for another attempt, perhaps , lliousamis of years hence. Asti'o.1o- i mers have caught light so bonding as it nears the sun, und, if our

icorrcspondentfs hazard is correct it was really tired and wanted to stop. The theory that light gets tired is not without scientific support. Mr. Gheury do Bray has for years been trying to convince the world that it does. At least hc has point- ed out that the velcc'ty of ;i':‘i‘. has appeared to be less every time it has been measured.

TRIAL BY JURY

Sir.-Ia the swan hundred odd

years that have elapsed since the barons wrested the great Charter frvm Kms John at auaaymodo, there has been a great change in national and individual customs as the British Constitution has ad- vanced from precedent.

One of the conditions of Magna.

Carta was trial by NYY. which was considered the bulwark of the com- mon citizen. Hundreds of years of national evolution have given ua the best King since the time of Alfred. But trial by Jury ia P. E. Island is tending to bondage rather than to protection. and the sooner the system is abolished, the safer it will be for the travelling public.

While the tyrant John has de;

parted to that bourne, _where the “wicked cease from troubling," we have e. Breater menace in this al- cohol enthroned at the controls of a motor car. This dignitary, who has justly earned such uncompli- mentary epithets as road hog, speed fiend, and Clk., has by ht; recklegg driving, slaughtered or maimed some useful citizen. We have a useful and eillcient body of men known as the Mounted Police, whose good services am often nullified by in- competent ¢0\lI'tS. They nrreat tha

of science have oo.sidered the , culprit and lodge him in jail; in due hypothesis that iight gets tired. | time he is brought before a magis-

trate, who finds sufficient evidence against him to send him up to the Sllpreme Court for trial. The next move in the scale of justice is to

bring before the "Grand Jury" gen- erally an intelligent responsible body of men, who listen to a learn- ed dlsquisition on the law points touching the case by the presiding judge; they find sufficient evidence to have him tried.

The court assembles; the Judge

takes his place on the bench with solemn mien; the petit jury is em- pannelled and enters the box; the Court decks are cleared for action. The heavy legal guns enter the fir- ing line, and match each other by a. bombardment of wits. After the us- ual procedure, the jury retires and contrary to the wisdom heretofore exhibited, bring in a verdict of not guilty. `

‘A number of years ago the late

Honourable Frederick Peters. passed an Act in our local Legislature to abolish the petit jury. it was only a half measure, while 'it cut oft’ all support from the public treasury, it was left open to an accused person, civil or criminal, to have a jury i.f the party was willing to pay the expenses _

Our present legislators would earn

A great desi of thanks and popular- ity if they would finish the work that Peters began. .This question may be shelved for the present, but it will not down, and for several reasons, apart from the most important, the destruction. of human life. It is necessary to remove all shackles from agriculture in this trying time, and then the rs- l moval of all, waste and inefficiency in the interests of tax ridden cit- izens. This phase of it is no longer I. debatable idea, it has become im- perative, and which will have to be taken into consideration by the as- sembled wisdom when they go in- to “Committee” to consider supply .to "His Majesty."

Mr. Rhodes Brings Cheer

(Toronto Gloce)

In n notable contribution to The

Globe‘s Financial Survey, Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance. presents a formidable record of events to show liow the world sit- uation is working toward a more favorable status. It is well to pause Occasionally and iook at affairs in the broad way he has outlined them, for the tendency has been to centre attention on isolated cir- cumstances and corresponding rc- medies, .with a lost perspective. In fact, to contraction of the circle of vision may be attributed the .slow- nem-and almost hopelessness-of recovery for which tho world has been waiting since thc first declin- ing movement started. The nation- nllstic outlook, due primarily to post-'war effort to rebuild broken fortunes, produced the trade col.- lapse. The financial crisis, which. the Minister of Finance points out. began in mld-Europe in the spring of 1931, piled the ruin higher. Lack of international confidence, rt nat- ural result of both, has intensified the complications and made the road backward more difficult. These things are understood by men in high office carrying grave rcs- ponslbilifies. It has seemed almost lmposs'ble at times to agree on a course of action, but 1032 has not been barren of effort or promising results. In fact, the new year has opened with considerable progress toward the sort of ca-operation re- quired.

First, Mr. Rhodes lists the Laus-

anne Conferencc which attacked the reparations fmestioii for what was expected to be a final solution. after two previous revisions had failed to meet the needs of Ger- many. A distinct feelng of optim- ism swept the world when me re- rnlt of this conference was an- nou“c::l, but it retreated when the

notified, and physicians took spec- send to the community she has i _ I F, `

debts question, with which repara- tions are inseparably bound. The recent exchange of notes appeals to Mr. Rhodes as clarifying. Their contents cannot be dlSre8B1'ded. Had it been possible to welcome the new year with announcement that machinery was sei; up to deal with ,inter-governmental debts it would have been heralded as the tlrsf- major step to returned pl‘0SD8l'3iY-
