CABINET CHANGES

The changes made yesterday in

the portfolio of the Provincial Government will, we believe, give general satisfaction. Since the

death of Hon. Mr. MacNcill; Min- ister of Public Works and High- ways, the control oi that. import- ant department was borne by Premier Stewart. A new minister has now been appointed in the person of Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Wllg relinquishes the portfolio of Agriculture which goes to Hon. Thomas MacNutt. of Malpeque, Councillor in the Legislature for the Third District of Prince. Mr. MacNutt is a practical farmer with wide experience in legislative af- fairs. He was elected to the Legis- lature in 1022 and was again re- turned in the gr-ncral provincial el-

ection of the following ycnr.

Liberal landslide of 1927 was returned with a nlajority 1n the general election of 1931. Mr. MacNutt does not profess to be ll. speechmaker, but those soclated with him in politics aware of the wide extent of his knowledge of agriculture and his practical experience and judgment should be a. decided asset to the Government in his new capacity as Minister of Agriculture.

8.5-

Of Hon. Mr. Sharp's ability re-

ference has been made on other occasions in these columns. A year ago, on the death of Hon. Mr. MacNcill, The Guardian suggested that Mr. Sharp would be an ideal appointee to the position of Min- ister of Public Works and High- ways. He ls a man of wide execu- tive experience and practical know-

ledge and has been an out- standing success in administering the agricultural department. The

same measure of success, we Dre- dict, will follow on his new ap- pointment in the Public Works De- partment.

The portfolios of Provincial Sec- retary and Provincial Treasurer have been taken over by Premier Stewart. The Premier is now re- covering satisfactorily from a pro- tracted illness, and his zeal and ability in an executive capacity are sufficient guarantee that the new duties which he assumes will be discharged thoroughly and well.

i Altogether, the change is most Iatisfactory, and should result in Itill further improvement in the ndministmtion of the affairs of the Province.

_ In accordance with an amend- ment to the Election Act, passed at the last session of the Legislature, l. lay-election for a portfolio min- ister is not necessary provided the minister is already a member of ‘the Legislature, as is the case in respect to each of the appoint- ments made yesterday.

President Hoover has refused to advise Congress to postpone the war debts payment due on December 15 by Britain, France luld several smaller European debtors of the United States. With the exception of Italy, they had asked for a morat- orium pend ng a conference with a view to a revision of the debts set- tlement.

MR. KING DEPLORES

Mr. Mackenzie King has discover- ed a conspiracy. He says there is an attempt in the newspapers and in Parliament; to stifle discussion, and to prevent the knowledge of facts which. the people ought. to know. He says that at no time in the his- tory of Canada has its press been so much under the control of special privilege. As to Parliament, he is just as gloomy. and he monks in the accents of despair. But then, flslng to the height of h‘s great occasion-it was at a Liberal ban- quet-hs summons us once more to the assertion of our lost liberties. "Are we afraid of the truth," he cries, "the truth which alone can set. us free?"

"Poor Mr. King," says the Van- couver Province, "In the genial warmth of s. good old-fashioned Liberal ‘ ‘, all among friends and with no rascally ‘Tories there to poison the air, he unfolds like a rose in June. It seems a. pity that the Pres conspiracy t0 sup- pras the truth that sim-le can set us free should not extend to a suppression of what Mr. King says when he goes off the deep end at the little social affairs of the Grand Old Party. For it seems that the conspirstor press that m. King is talking about is none other than the wretched Tory news- papers. "So large s. part of the press is null-Liberal," sghs poor Mr. King. "and you can not hope to get through the Conservative prfik! an exposition of Liberalism."

The "conspiratcr press" n3 we en- deavored to show in yesterday's com-

merits, includes also such leading

Ottawa Citizen and the Winnipeg Free Press. These papers have all ‘ expressed views diametrically opposed to Mr. King's expressed opinions about the Imrcrisl Economy; con- ference; and it. was m the Imperial Conference chiefly that Mr. King was alluding. How is it that today the Federal Liberal leader is being b95198“! by 80 much adverse press criticism? The press represents pub. lic opinion.

During the 1926-27 crop year ex- ports 0f oranges totalled Z.2l4.000 boxes, apart from a few hundred cases of grape-fruit. Exports for the present. season (1931-32) are expect- ed to reach from 4,000,000 to 4,500,- 000 boxes. At the present rate D! growth, it is estimated that by 1940 Palestine will be in a position to export 9000.000 to 10,000,000 boxes of oranges and nearly a million cases of grape-fruit.

In ilnc with the action of the Canadian Pacific, the New York Central lines are taking on 1,500 ad- ditional men five days c week in their car shops. Work will thus be given, it is estimated, to 1,000 other men in factories supply ng material. During the business depression the railways have been allowing their rolling stock to run down and re- placements and repairs soon will call for the employment of many men in all lines of industry.

STOMACII ANI) INTESTINAL ULCEB.

Although we know that Nature is "‘a. friendly force’ toward mankind nevertheless there are times or

conditions in which this friendly force is harmful to that body of ‘yours.

One of these conditions is ulcer of the stomach or ulcer 0f the flrfii inch or two of the small intestine into which the stomach enters.

The digestive juice of the stom- ach which helps prepare foods for digestion is rich in hydrochloric acid. It is this hydrochloric acid working on the walls of the amm- lach and intestine which actually prevents the ulcer from healing. In

Just when, or in what cases ‘should surgery be used?

Surgical treatment must be used in cases of perforation, that is whcrc the ulcer bores its way right through the walls of the stomach.

5 Surgery should be used where there is frequent bleeding from the ulcer that cannot he controlled.

Surgery is necessary also when the scars from the healing or healed ulcer obstruct the flow of food from stomach into intestine.

The thought then is that the use of alkalles and frequent soft or fluid meals will heal the majority of these cases, but in the special con- ditions above mentioned the patient must be ready to undergo surgical operation if a cure is to be affected.

The Canadian People

(Vancouver Province) Addressing an audience of stu- dents at Queens University, not long ago, Senator Rodolphe Le- mieux, former Speaker of House of Commons, dwell; on the value to Canada. of the two great racial strains in the Canadian People, and urged that the men and women of the two races should work together to complete the work of nation-building so ably begun by their ancestors. Everything that tended to divide and hold apart the tlvo races that comprised the major part of “the Canadian popu- lation, the Senator said, enfeebled national unity and hindered na- tional progress.

‘Illerc are those among us, of course, who still lament that steps were not taken at the time of the conquest to scatter the small French-Canadian population and extinguish the sturdy national spir- it that hawdevelopcd on the St. Lawrence. Had sterner measures been adopted in 1759, Canada. could, possibly, have been made wholly British. At least, the cng- tion of c. fairly solid French Quebec could have been prevented. But at what a costi The first cost might easily have been the loss of Canada altogether, for it is well known that while Benjamin Franklin's propaganda, at the time of the American Revo- n, prospered somewhat among the English-speaking residents of Montreal, it fell on stony ground among the French-Canadians and did not even sprout. Atslhls time, and again in 1912, the French- Canadians remained faithful to the British Crown, which had treated them as worthy subjects and not as dangerous enemies.

The second cost must have been a. poorer Canada. Left together on the St. Lawrence, allowed full lib- erty in the matter of religion, ac- corded even the boon of the French civil law to which they were accustomed, the French-Canadians developed a type of their own, fru. Bal, industrious, resourceful, faith- ful, independen‘, conservative, that has been of inestimable value to

strength to the weave and gsiety to the pattern. Without them, Canada. would bc less of a nation

There is a legend that the refus- al of a. latchkey to No. 10 arose from the fear of former Premiers dropping into the old house when so disposed. Old Lord North after 12 years’ rsidcnce could not rid himself of the habit after resigna- tion of wandering into No. 10 and

This raises at once another ques- tion. The basic strain in Canada's population is, of’ ' course, Anglo- Saxon. The secondary strain is French. But there are innumerable other strains, German, Scandinav- ian, Italian, Polish, Russian, Czecho-Slovakilm. They all bring something to Canada, some vigor which has preserved them through- out the ages. They bring their languages, their customs, their arts, perhaps traces of their in- stitutions. And we set to work im- mediately upon their arrival to smother out everything they bring and make’ them ovcr intoCanad- lens. Are we wise in doing this‘? Are we not in too much of a hurry to extinguish all the racial char- acteristics of our new settlers? Do we not make trouble for ourselves with our hurry, as in the clise of the Doukhobors?
