A Financier Speaks

ln his presidential address at the recent annual meeting of the Royal Bank. Sir Herbert l-li-lr. made the lollowiiig encouraging statement: "Business and ind-.i:-tri' have mainlainwl a .-iurprtsiiigly‘ satisfac- tory iolunie n; activity in Canada as compared with other countries. The stability of our great industries llld the strenclh or our financial msiltuliclis durim: ti" pa»! We!‘ constitute a record which wr- may view with pridc.

As the considered Judgment of l. ﬁnaiicici‘ of national rcputc. such a stainnciit cannot tail to carry convic- tion. But Sir Herbert did iiiorc than express optimism as w the future. H0 felt it his duty. tn his official capac- ity, to indicate some of lllc steps by which this rcvival of trade and in- dustry will be achieicd. And in doing lo he praised the action of the Beu- tictt Government in adopting antl- dumpini: legislation and tn advanc- ing the tariff at the cnicrgciicy ses- sion of Parliament. He said that, as a rault of these measures, the activ- ities of Canadian industry have al- ready increased from 50 to 80 pcr cent. and over. He hoped that in the

forthcoming session the administra-

tion would take measures to stop the,

dumping of Russian cord, plilp and

other products in this country to the .

injury of Canadian industry and Ca- nadian workers. He. endorsed the action of Mr. Bennett in favoring the formation of an agricultural credit corporation to ﬁnance needy western farmers and to promote mixed farm- ing on the prairies. He spoke of the co-opcrative action the federal and provincial GO\€‘l'lll'll“l'llS and the

Prof. Orton seas no hop: for radio as o. vehicle of cultural advance s0 long as the commercialization of broadcasting obtains. The Alrd report Sllblllliiﬂd to the Canadian Govern- ment, hovrcver, made a place for indirect advertising. As u matter of fact. it is becoming apparent that only through a nation- lal slstcm mil Canadian advertising

Editorial Notes

Our local contemporary complains that “during the hy-clcction paign in Prince County a member of the gcvemmeiit further stressed the point that the duty of an Oppo- silion was to oppose, not to offer any constructive criticism. This same member also voiced his dlsapprovll of the government plough." Our 0on- lcmporary should insist that the gov- cr in question be giv- cii a scvcrc talking to by the grand panjaiidiuim.

The greatest force which the world knows is desire. Where desire is in- tense, undreamed-of latent powers become active, changing the life, and it. may be the ‘destiny, of the desire motivated man or woman. When the ‘desire is good in respect of its object. {and expression, attainment can be ‘immensely enlarging to the individ- ,uul, leading him to nuke super- efforts. In trying one’: moat one‘! lpowers of mind and body become ‘amazingly developed. Thus. the pur- ‘pose and will to earn more money in order to be able to satisfy intense wanting find expression in extra- ordinary enterprise. Men and ‘women, singly and collectively, do ‘their utmost to increase both the iamount and value of what they have {to sell; likewise, they seek to find Qbetter buyer: for their merchandise. fThe farmer in the grip of desire to ymnke more money or to escape in- isolvency, may study the economics of ‘ifarming with a new intensity. and ymay be led by his studies to change lover from cereal-growing to stock- ‘breeding, pig-raising, or dairy farm- ‘ing, or from pastoral farming to the raising of sugar beets. The labourer, {incited by a great desire, will change ithe character of his occupation in order to earn from his new employ- ment a higher wage per hour or day.

The ex- panse, says this A writer. might be ‘passed, if we got anything- for our money, but we do not get. a farth- Ltngls worth. From a moral point of ‘view the British embassy in Moscow ,is a scandal; from a political point of ‘view it is ludicrous; from a com- 1iiiercia1 point of view is usless. 'I‘l1e Americans, who have no embassy, do more trade with the soviet Govern- ment than Rigland does.

It is manifest that if Great Britain is to recover her position in the world markets, there must be a wholesale readjustment of her basic industries and along with severe retrenchment and reform in national expenditure, such as adaptation of the wage scale as will enable British industry to meet the challenge of the new con- ditions of imperative mandate. To find a right path through the thorny ivildcmess of problems which now bcset Britain will tax the resource- fulness, courage and capacity of her people and politicians to the utmost.

It is refreshing in know that there are great forces for good at work in the business world; that. improve- ments are but the natural expression of uplifted thought; that example, purer motives, higher ideals, and the rivalry of excellence are leavenlng the world; that oppression is de- creasing tn order that spontaneous effort may be utilized: that courtesy and kindness are gaining recognition as factors of success; and that men are learning to love their dolly work because through it they feel the divine impulse.

Now there are u. grout many peo- ple who swallow air when eating or at other times, and the pressure of this I11‘ in the stomach and intes- tines is often so severe that; they consult their physicians as to the possibility of heart; disease, obstruc- tion of the bowel, and other condi- tionl.

Dr. Aahor W‘ keisbeiri, New York. tells us that at: least: 00 per cent of patients with real organic ailments, or ailments due simply to nervous-

awnllow of food or the saliva-the mouth digestive Juice-some air en- ters tl-ie tube going down to the stomach. Sometimes this is immed- iately belched up and at other times it enters the stomach. When it en- fer: the stomach it immediately goes to the top left side of the stomach. From here, when it begins t0 mill!!! presaure, it is usually belched up again by the individual bringing it up by movements of the body or by deep breathing. This is considered a normal condition and not a symptom o!’ any real trouble. .

l-lurrytng or gulplng the food, and swallowing while breathing air with the lungs, is frequently a cause of air swallowing.

To get. rid of this air, forced expir- "ticn is made with the opening into the lungs held tightly closed.

Dr. M. Heyer says that: these air swallowers are usually nervous in- dividuals, excitable, irrltable, tense and anxious. Now this swallowed air cannot for the most part be absorbed by the blpod and body tissues and must be removed. Bending the body from side to side, attempting to put head down- ward between knees, the use of pep- permtnt, all have proven helpful where the individual was unable to expel it by forcing out his breath. gNow although most. of these cases are due to nervousness and not to organic disease, nevertheless this air in stomach or intestine may actually be a symptom of real organic trouble of liver. gall bladder, heart. or in- testlne.

'I‘hc point: tlieii is that air swal- lowing is usually Just e habit which should be broken.

If it persists it. would be well to consult your family physician.

We do not work as hard for the things we have as our forefathers in this country did, and we have more, far more.

And we boast about it. We are more clever. We say we use our heads to save our hands and our backs. We believe we are more 1n- dopendeiit: we do not. ask,‘ we take. We believe we are more self-reliant, more self made. And to tell the truth there is a home-made look about many of us.

In fact, We are bewming so self contained that m: are loath to cred- it our well being or our prosperity to any one but curselves.

But those many things we have come to believe and which we take as a matter of course, are not all true; not all o.‘ our own making. At least that is the teaching of history and history ls a. wise old book; an unirvpeochable authority.

Singing In The Bath

l Exchange) We fear the Freiiziti tenor Char- lesky has doye us no good service by letting it be known that he sings in his bath. Nobody is likely to object when an opera singer gives free ex- pression from his tub at ten o'clock in the morning to an assortment of ten-dollar notes for the gratification of passcrs by in the hotcl corridoni but. would the reaction be as favor-i able at. seven oclock, or five? Furthermore who is to decide when a. singer is good enough to be per- mitted to sing at large, as it- were? Unfortunately there are persons, numerous persons, who are pro- foundly convinced their voices are things of art and beauty and whose friends are too pollt-e to tell them the truth. Are they also accorded the privilege. or right. of greeting the new day with lilting melodies or guy arias hot from the operas? Then it is all too true that not all
