Is Mr. King Responsible ."

‘The question has already beer. ask- ed by Hon. R. B. Bennett; Is Prime Minister Mackenzie King really re- sponsible for what he says? The lead- er of the Government has- made so many inconsistent statements during the present election campaign, he has said so many things that are at variance vrith, facts, that the most charitable view‘ for his party sup- porters to take is that Mr. King's memory is failing him. His flat de- nial of the notorious. "ﬁve-cent piece" speech in Parliament, Iiotivith- standing that this meet-h is on record in Hansard, is s. case in point. An- other striking example of irresponsi- bility is found in nu attitude tr

wards Maritime claims. As every

Maritime elector knoivs, the most im- ,

portant of these claims, namely, n- ldjustment of subsidy which was urgently recommended to the Gov- irnment four years ago, is st;ll out- ltanding. Yet in his speech at Sydney the other night Mr. Kin; declared;

"I stand here tonight and say lo the Maritime Provinces that there is not. o. irmljor rccoinntcilclatioil in the Duncan report. not a recom- mendation of any real signiﬁcance today. that we have not carried out in letter and in spirit."

Here is the recommendation of the Duncan Commission with respect to subsidy readjustment:

I “It follows from what. we have said. that both in respect of grants for the machinery of government" and in respect of debt allowances, the Maritime Provinces have satis- fied us that they have a genuine claim to a readjustment of the ﬁn- ancial arrangements that exist be- tween the Dominion and themselv- es. and that in any rcadjustmcnt their territorial limitations entitle i-hcm to still further consideration. The terms of readjustment are ob- viously a matter for detailed do- termination and assessment. so that the actual amount~as well as the reasons and purposes attach- ing to lt-can be recotzitiztcd by the rest. of Canada as fair and equit- able. It is not possible, therefore, to make a final recommendation as to the increase and form of Do- minion aid which is rcutiircd to satisfy the just claims of the Mari- time situation, hut we recommend that the Dominion Government should give 1 ‘late considera-

A Poet on Poetry

‘ Poet: have occasionally been moved to write in prose in defense of their art, not because poetry needs defense

,in any age, but because its value and

Ipurposc are so little understood by

Ithose who do not read poetry. It is

ldoubtful whether one can be argued into an appreciation of something which, after all, is a matter of taste; but those of our readers to whom the Poet's Corner makes an

‘appeal will find satisfaction in the contention advanced by Mr. Alfred No_vcs, English poet, that the value of

poetry lics in the fact that it is a. means of increasing the real values of life itself.

“Most people. at the present flay" says Mr. Noyes, "are sleep- walkcrs. They are alive. but they ore notrcally awake, and they do not realise their own miraculous possessions, or really perceive the world around them. They are hypnotlscd by their own routine, even when it is a scientific rou- tine involving observation of ft certain order of facts. and they spin round like humming-tops, fast asleep.

"We know how amazingly this is sometimes discovered when anything happens to disturb that routine. tve have only to think of what would happen to our minds if (through some climatic change) the trees were to break

tlon to the whole of this subject, :44;- a- Ga“- ta a “mg-ea of the ﬁnancial arrangements as between them and the Maritime Provinces.”

Will the Hon. Cirrus Macmillan, Minister of Fisheries, who was a member of the Commission which submitted the above recommendation to Premier King on September 23, 1926, say that this recommendation was implemented “in letter and in spirit"? Or is it his lenders cont/en- tlon that this was not a “major rec- ommendation" and is "not of any real signiﬁcance today“? Surely, if Mr. King isnot completely irresponsible for his statements, it was imncccs- sary for him to add insult to injury by telling a lilarltimc aildicncn at Sydney that he had implemented "in letter and in spirit" this most im- portant of all the Duncan Commis- sion recommendations which he had ecﬂously ignored for the past four years, and the satisfactory settlement of which. to this Province alone, ac- cording to Premier Lea would mean increased federal subsidy three and a quarter million dollars.

_Our Subsidy Claims

However unimportant the belated settlement of the subsidy claims of the Maritime Provinces may appear to be to Premier King. there can be little doubt about the importance of these claims to this Province. Thc pamphlet submitted last January by Premier Lea shows that Prince Edward Island is entitled to an an- nual subsidy of $3,372,166.57, plus $200,000 cash payment for damages arising out of expmprilliml of the paltcn ssnatorlum and for mainten- ance and improvements in public buildings. And in this estimate Ex- Premier Saunders assured the Legis- lrlttlliil-hllgMf-"LQQ had erred, if at

"The beauty of that liipcarancc would be. almost overwhelming. We should walk in wonder and nvte through our fields and woods and an npple-botuzh in blossom would seem to us, then, the mir- acle that it really is.

Notes By__The Way‘

When the Dunning budget was brought down on May 1st, Mr. Dun- nlng turned his ﬁrst somersault. He proposed s. fixed duty after declaring a seasonal tariff imposible in Can- ada. Then l8 days later-on May iii-he scrapped his ﬁxed duty and, adopted the seasonal tariﬂ’, thereby] completing the double somersault. If] he could change twice under pollti-I cal prcxstirc in this period what hope have the public that. all the tariff, schedules won't be torn to pieces to? meet. political expediency if the King Government is returned.

With an Mastic Liberal imagina- aiion and : shock-absorber satisfac- torily functioning, the driver of a car might persuade himself that the roads at present are in a condition] to deserve the culogium handed out to them recently inthe local Liberal organ.

To the driver who is obliged to take the bumps as they come with- out. the aid of an imagination, the, roads in this province for the past, few weeks have been more cut up with ruts than they have been in many years. And this at. the beginning of the tourist season. There may be ex- tenuating circumstances, there may be reasons for this condition, but to‘ call such roads the best we have had is only to draw attention to their] defects, and to give visitors the im- presslon that we don't know the

. meaning of the word roads.

Within five weeks the King Gov- ernment adoptecl four different tar- iff attitudes: (i) No tariff at all on fruits and vegetables, t2) No seasonal tariff; l3) A fixed tariff; t4) Replace- ment of the ﬁxed tariff with a seas. onal tarlffand this is only one lrr-‘l stance. What hope can be entertained l of a stable tariff under such cir- cumstances?

The Hon. Chas. Stewart's most sig- nificant statement. during the 1930 budget was that wherein he let the cat. out. of the bag and indicated the real reason for the amazing feature oi’ the budget. “I think the Minister of Finance has shown remarkable skill in producing a. tarifr which comes so near to pleasing all kinds oi divergent opinions."

Hon. R. J. Manna, in his speech ﬁttingly summarized the Dunning budget in these words:

“The more it is investigated, the‘ more sham, deceit and humbug you ﬁnd it contains. The budget ls a queer mixture of free trade and pm- tcctlon, of British preference and, American preference of tariff stabll-i ity and tariff imbecility. In other words the object of this budget; is to get the votes of both the protection- ist and the free trader by decgjv- _ing the one and betraying the 0th- ier."

of the body, including the skin. This may be caused by gall stones, or by a growth.

2nd. Some infection gets into the

blood, and of course goes almost dir- ectly to the liver where it inﬂames

the liver cells. One of the jobs done by these liver cells is to take the yellow coloring matter made up from broken down blood cells, and use it to form bile. If however the liver cells are inﬂamed by an infection or pois- on entering the blood they cannot do this work properly, and so this yellow

coloring matter remains in the blood and of course tlnges everything yel- low, including the skin.

3rd. Certain other types of infec- tion attack the blood and destroy so many red blood corpuscles, that. there is too much broken down substance in the blood for the liver to handle, even if the liver cells themselves are healthy.

Dr. Wm. Msgner. Toronto, advises that where there is jaundice, it. isi well to remember that in the major- ity of cases it is due to some infec-

tion in the system, and the treatment is the same as in any other infection -—rest..

RICHMOND. Qua, June Ill-A beautiful bouquet of peonies and a warm welcome was given Prem- ier King when his train stopped here for a brief interval today. The peonics were presented by Miss Mina Smith, daughter of J. l). Smith, president of the Liberal As- sociation c! Richmond Wolfe. “She would like to give you this bou- quet of flowers," said Mr. Smith. “I wish you would give me some- thing else," responded Ml‘. King to tihe little girl, then he kissed her. There was no speech.

Mr. Bay Brown, who is a respect- able married man, moulded in the austere environment of the. Press Gallery, neglects to state the pre- cise or approximate number of Bum- mers of the young lady thus honored by our Premier, contenting himself with the mere mention that she was "a little girl." It was. we think, a grave repqrwrial mistake. In these decadent. days the phrase “little girl" frequently covers a multitude o! years, and e. first class chronlcler of the activities of our statesmen should be more meticulous about details of obvious and major importance.

Mr. Bennett, too. is entitled to know the facts. ff this election is go- ing to be won by oscillation instead of oratory, it is important to know

in just what force the enemy is going to attack. For our own part, wanting the Conservatives to win, we view what has happened with alarm. Mr, Bennett, a bachelor too, shouldn't really be handicapped in any such pleasant strategy, but. while we're prepared to put odds on him on the platform or in Parliament, we con-~ fess to an inferiority complex when it comes to accepting bouquets with the maximum of gallantry and grat- itude.

Q. What are the estimated British and foreign investments in Canada? A. The Dominion Bureau of Sta-

tistics estimates that the total British

and foreign investments in Canada on January192B, was $5,742,043,000, 33385386000 being from the United States; $2,209,517,000 from the Britfsh Isles and $245,740,000 from other countries. These large sums should be considered in the light of the fact that Canada's national wealth is esti- mated to be between 27 and 30 bil- lions. or about five vmes the amount of invested foreign capital. Canadians 'alao own from 55% to 65’; of the sccrities of all enterprises located on Canadian soil. On the other hand, Canadian investments in foreign countries is estimated at. $1,579,0'l4,00o or more than a quarter of outside in- vestments in Canada.
