‘iCanarla Holds Her Place

Notwithstandinfl the ‘fl-entry of Russia into the international wheat market as a. large scale exporter oi vrheat, and keen bidding on the part of Australia, Argentina, and Dthe: surplus countries for a share of the world trade, Canadian wheat accounted for about Olill-thild °f 1hc world shipments of wheat in the twelve-month! period vndius July 31st last

This gratifying fact is revealed in n review of the past season's wheat trade just issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa. It is [he more encouraging in the light of statements frequently made in the past year that Canada wus losing her market for wheat, and that importers were finding substi- tutes and whcats from other coun- tries, capable oi producing the same results in the bakeshop that Canadian wheat had becnlnotecl for

was fully demonstrated durinl; the Great war, especially in the year ,19l’l, when the German submar- Iines caused such heavy losses to ‘British, Allied and neutral mer- chant ships as w create the y"? gravest anxiety. It was not until the end of that year that it could be definitely? said that the men- jace was mastered and even during 'l9l8 the rate of loss of merohllni- ships was still very hid!!-

Sumining up the present situa- tion, Earl Jelllcoe says:

"since the War, the strenBI-h of the British Navy has been con- stantly and immensely reduced- whilst there has been no reduc- tion whatever in the protective duties which it. would have w undertake, should our sea com- nuinications again be attacked- lt cannot, therefore, be a matter of surprse that naval officers, who 11nd u; combat the dangers with which we were menaced (luring the latter years of the War, are exceedingly uneasy at the prcszit position, under which we are not even building up to the naval strength which was agreed upon at the recent Lon-

ln years prtst.

In this connection the Manitoba Free that while our prices reached the lowest levels in the history of Canadian grain mnrfuets, our “heat was the dBIlFU-h of compoiitivc whcats ci- fcred on the world markets A cle- prcciutcd currency‘ in Australia made it possible for the Common- wealth to heavily underscll our wheat in the markets of the Orient, yvhiie the dumping of wheat by Russia last fall at I-n-gc- discounts under Canadian whcats, and pres- sure of cheap Argentine offers helped also by a depreciated cur- rency. made the European market a diflieult one in which to make Sales.

Added to this rigorous competi- tition and aggravating the situa- tion, were the financial conditions in Germany and the national pol- icies adopted by most European countries to use up native supplies of wheat before permitting the use of imported products. To have maintained her position as the world's largest exporter of xvheat, in face of these very trying condi- tions, is an accomplishment. of which the Dominion may well be proud.

Press notes

Canada, which owes more than most people imagine to the British Navy for the peace and security it has enjoyed during the past cen- tury, is vitally concerned in the ivcirning sounded by the distingu- ished Admiral now visiting her shores. No one can accuse Earl Jel- llcoe of being a war-monger or an alarmist. Nevertheless he recog- nizes, and feels it his duty to give publicity to, the seriousness of a situation which W85 well summed up by the British Prime Minister in a. recent speech in the House of Commons, when he said that one nation cannot by its own example bring about disarmament, and that it should be the duty and respon- sibility of everyone to join in mak- ing further disarmament possible by international agreement arrangement. Unless this realiza- tion is brought home to the rep- the other powers who will 'assemble‘al; the Disarmament Conference, Great Britain's lead in the matter of nav- al rcduction cannot with safety be continued.

Unless the Gfflllfl Sfrlgllvllli” Disarmament Conference next year puts an end to these expansions in ‘naval armaments, lt cannot hope to succeed in its purpose. In this connection Earl Jellicoc, now visiting Canada, has sounded a warning. Writing in the current issue of “The Sailor," official organ of the Navy League of Canada, the British Admiral of the Fleet em- phasizes "the exceeding importance to the Empire of the use and pro- tection of our sea communications.” These communications are used by the Merchant Navy, and protected by the Royal Navy. As the centur- ies have passed by. so have the peo- ple of the. British Isles i‘ more and more dependent on im- ported food and imparted raw ma- terials. This has made the'safety of these sea communications abso- lutely vital to the inhabitants of the Mother Oountm-a fact which

-——-—i--__ Editorial Notes

For reasons best known to itself, the local Liberal organ persists in its endeavor to spread the impres- sion that the general overhauling of the car ferry and the repairs necessary to boilers, deck and en- glnes, will be done, not here, but 1n Quebec. One would imagine any Island newspaper gladly glv~ ing publicity to the fact that a

It is noteworthy nyl the “Satur- day Night" that the Wlckerahun report finds that police illegality la at a. ' ' in cities, like Bos- ton and Newark, where the press will “not stand for ft." In the United States, as in other coun- tries, it ls the attitude of the press which largely moulds public opin- ion on questions of communal ethics. Brutal and illegal methodfl. on the part of the law officers, have not effected any decrease in crime in the areas in which they have been most used-indeed none but a. lunatic could have expected that they would. But 1t is signifi- cant that, just in those areas In tho United States where the press is least ready to condone lawless- ness, masquerading as law enforce- ment, such methods are conspicu- ous by their absence-and so is serious crime relatively.

Periods of depression are the open seasons for the tub-thumping pesslmlsts, who declare that there is something rotten ln the way the world ls run and that civilization is rolling down the slope. The rant of these purveyors of misery is a visitation almost as difficult to endure as hard times. '

The Canadian Junior Red Cross is doing splendid work among the young folks of our Dominion. School children are being taught healthful habits, and sick children are being cared for. Then there ls the exchange of international cor- respondence among the Red Cross Juniors in many lands. In this way the young folks of different nation- alities have an opportunity of de- veloping the spirit of friendliness. which should help towards a better understanding among the future men and women of all nations.

The dean of the law faculty of McGlll University Profesor P. E. Corbett, on Saturday told the In- stitute of Politics, in convention at Williamstown, Massach“ ctts, that the Dominions of the British Commonwealth will probably not set up any more foreign legatlons, except in capitals where the volume of their work would be an unjust burden imposed on the British diplomatic machinery. He added that in most capitals of the world the Domlnlons as yet have no diplomatic representatives.

Orders have been issued by the provincial government says the “Vancouver Star" to the effect that Orientals shall not be permitted to register as applicants for relief work. As many Orientals have been in the province for a. number of years. while others are actually natives of British Columbia, it is a little difficult to see Iwhy all alike, regardless of their need, should be refused any of, the benefits of the expenditure for relief-the cost of which is in some part defrayed by those of their own people who my taxes-while Russian Finns. Fs- thoniexis, Hungarians and others, the dust of whose native land has hardly been shaken off their shoes are to be provided for.

Many will no doubt be. greatly surprised to learn that China pro- duces more wheat than the D0- mlnion of Canada and a crop about three-quarters of the size of that of the United StatesA "preliminary forecast" of the crop for 193i, based on reports received up to June 20. Separate estimates have been made of the production of spring wheat, which is grown in Manchurla, and of winter wheat, which is produced in the wheat- growing provinces of China. proper. The estimate of the former is

143,200,000 bushels, and of the lat- ter 461,167,000 bushels, or a total of 604,367,000 bushels.

Discontent was long considered a sort of sln, not the unpardon- able sin, but one of the number- less other lesser sins. In some quarters the dissatisfied-with- themselves are still preached at and pleaded with to follow the trail of complacency and oontentedness.

There was an article in the news- paper recently ln which I manufac- turer of a device to enable deaf peo- ple to get soinemeasmo of hearing, stated, that despite the business de- presslon, his business was increasing by 33 per cent every year..-

Thls gives us an idea. of the num- ber of people who are of hear- ing’, and who feel that lthey are missing much in life. ‘;

And so when anything that will help these people is brought to the notice of the profession, I always, feel that it is worth while to hand it along.

Dr. Jas. Adam, Surgeon for Dis- eases of Ear, Nose, and Throat, of Glasgow City Hospitals, tells us of a. treatment that he has been using in cases of progressive chronic deaf- ness, where his other methods have been of no avail.

He calls it the Bath treatment for Deafness.

It consists of hot baths, with a pound of commercial Epsom salts added to each bath; immersion for ten to fifteen minutes was advised at bed time, every second night for a week once during the following week, and then once a fortnight.

The benefit received by his first case was so striking that he tried 1t on other cases. '

He records seven cases all of which were not improving under his other methods, but which showed great improvement by use of the hot baths.

He says thatthis bath treatment is of course, only in the trial stage. It may succeed in only a limited num- ber of cases, though it has had good results 1n cases in which the usual methods had proved an utter fail- ure, and in which treatment had been abandoned.

Now why should these hot baths be of help?

Because they induce perspiration. They fail when they fail to sweat the patient. Doubling the quantity of Epsom salts to the bath is some- times necessary to induce sweating.

"Cautf/n must be used with these hot baths. Hot baths are exhausmg, and too risky forelderly, weakly peo- ple, or individuals with heart all- ments. Ten minutes in the bath may be long enough, and should be fol- lowed by a brisk towelling and a warm bed.”

THE CLOAK, THE BOAT, AND THE SHOES

"What do you make so fair and bright?’

“I make the cloak of Sorrow:

O, lovely-to see in all men's sight Shall be the cloak of Sorrow

In all men's sight." ‘

"What do you build with sails for flight?"

-"I build a boat for sorrow, O, swift on the seas all day and night Satieth the rover Sorrow, All day and night."

"What do you weave with wool so white?" -

"I weave the shoes of Sorrow, Boundless shall be the football light In all men's ears of Sorrow, Sudden and light."

Twentieth century commer- cialism nnd standards of living have broken down this creed to that degree where those without ambitions and the will to fulfill them are soornfuliy denounced by the more provident.

George Jean Nathan writes in a. current magazine: “Happiness fa ruinous to accomplishment. Few men can do first-rate work when they are bathed in a. mood of ex- llanslve cheer. A touch of un- happiness. of concern, of discon- tent, ls essential to vigorous en- terprise and achievement. When everything is going with beautiful smoothness in a man's daily life, his work immediately shows the effects of it.

Walrus Herds

(Montreal Gazette)

Gun-gm; against depletion of the walrus herds 1n Canada's nor- thern waters the Dominion has re- gently laid down new resuialim °° protect these h118¢ marine mm‘ mals.

Everything from sardines and melts to walrus and whales are taken in the Canadian flsheriefl and authority must alwayfl be villi- hmt to prevent the country's mar- ine wealth from beln8 lessened ‘m’ duly by too intensive nshlns. m" 1n the case of walrus, too intensive hunting. For some time Dfl-St 951°‘ ials of the Dominion Department of Fisheries in consultation with officers of the Northwest Territor- ies Branch of the ‘Department of the Interior, and officers ofthe Royal Canadian -Mounted Police, who are especially well qualified to give advice in this connection, have been looking into the situation as regards the walrus herds. It was found that new regulations were desirable, to replace those hitherto in effect, and they have now been approved by the Governor-Gener- al In Council. In brief, they pro- vide that no one shall kill any wal- rush except for use as food for himself or his dependents or for his dog teams, and that no Eskimo or half-breed without dependents. and no person of the white race, more than four. Persons other than Eskimos or half-breeds must-ob- tain ilccnsa issued under the au~ thority of the Minister of Fisheries before hunting walrus, and not more than two licenses will be ls- sued to representatives of any com- pany at any one station or post. All hunters are required to make report to officers of‘ the R..C.M.P. each year as to the number of walrus killed, their approximate weight, sex, etc. The regulations also prohibit the export from the north of any walrus‘ tusks that have been already carved or other- wise worked up for sale in a retail way, as well as the export of the hides for commercial purposes-

Walrus grow to be big chaps.

pounds. One which was examined by the naturalist of the Department of Fisheries some years ago mens- ured l1 feet '7 inches to the end of its hind flipper, which, itself, was 2 feet 6 inches across. These mam- mals are a. major source of food for the Eskimos themselves and for the dog teams which are so important a. part of Eskimo equipment.

Prior to the time when firearms became available to the natives they did their walrus hunting with spears and harpoons. It was dif- flcult and hazardous. When the rifles came, however, ft became Cvmpfiratviely easy for the Eskimo to kill walrus in numbers. The hunter was aided in slaughter by the fact that it is the tendency of the walrus to remain at bay until it can see its enemy, so that as long as the hunter can remain hid- den he has no difficulty in killing off one walrus after another when they arc gathered together. The Eskimo, moreover, is apt to kill more than he actually needs, if op- portunity presents itself.

The net result of a number of conditions has been that since the beginning of this century the wal- rus herds, especially 1n Hudson Bay and Hudson Strait ' waters, have been much depleted, notwithstand- ing efforts by northern officers of the Mounted Police and the De- partment of the Interior to educate the natives as to the unwisdom fo killing beyond their needs. The new regulations are expected to re- sult"- ln ,_checklng depletion.
