Government By Commission
Hon. Dr. Manion in his speech in Parliament on Monday was able to show that since assum- ing office a littlc more than thrcc ycars ago, the King Govcrnmcnt had appointed no fewer than nint- cofnmissions. at cnortnous cost t0 thc tax- p/aycrs. Thcrc wcrc thc Rowcll Commission, the cterans Assistnnce" Commission. the National Employment Commission, the Textile Industry Commission. thc Whcat Marketing Commission], the Pcnitcntianv Lionnnission, thc Lobster and Smelt Fishing Commission (remember that tne?), the Coal Commission, thc Bren Gun Commission, not to speak of elaborate parlia- mentary connuittvc inquiries into such matters as thc Rllil\\‘ll_\’ prolllcin and thc cost of farm implements. \\"hat have these. Commissions done, or chang- rd? The Ottawa journal pessimistically dc- clares tliat nobody knows and nobody cares. They were, or are, just Royal Commissions, an ancient device by which Governments evade responsibility. ' Actually, a. Royal Commission represents the - ttmfession of a Government that it doesn't l-mow what to do about some givcn thing, or-what is just as l1:1d——~that it docsift propose to do any- thing about a given thing. Our cynical Ot- tawa contemporary cites A. P. Herbert of Punch IS having hit the thing off perfectly in his famous poem: "I am the Royal Commission on Kissing, Appointed by Gladstone in '74;
The rest 01‘ my colleagues are buried or missing; Our nlinutes were lost in the last. Great ‘Var.
But still I'm a Royal Commission. My task I intend to see through.
‘though I know, as an old politician, Not much will be done if I do.”
Promise And Performa nce
from Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s own Ipoken and written words when in Opposition, Hon. Dr. Manion quoted at length in his speech on the Draft Address at Ottawa. It could not have been a happy evening for Mr. King, for his fulsomc promises were in almost ludicrous contrast to his sorry performances in office. Among other things, Dr. Manion pointed out that Mr. King was going to reduce taxation; hc was going to lessen expenditure; hc was go- ing to retain the British preference, to bring about “harmony and cooperation”, to bring about social justice, to appoint an investment control board, to remove unemployment, to bring about prosperity, to wipe out third parties, or to bring about conditions which would cause third parties to disappean He was going to bring nbout more equitable distribution of wealth, to control currency and credit, tosct up propor- tional rcpresentation, to lo\vcr the cost of living 1nd wipe out trusts and combines.
Wcll might one ask with “lordsworth:
“Whether has fled the visionary gleam,
Where is it now, the glory and the dream?"
The unemployment problem unsolved, tax- ation at the highest level since the Great War; government expenditures ditto; total trade fallen by $336,000,000 in the past year; third parties not only vigorously flourishing but the
ibcral party leaders themselves bickering and squabbling over federal-provincial issues. Four years after Mr. Kings glowing promises, tltc situation in nearly every respect worse than it was when he took office!
Canada And The Empire
‘fwo professors were recently employed in broadcasting their =views on the question whe- ther Canada can be neutral in a war engaged in by Great Britain and still be a member of the Empire. Neither, notes thc Fortnightly Law Journal, attempted to answer the argument that the Crown being one and indivisiblc, if the Crown is at war all its Dominions must auto- matically be at war. Therefore the price of neutrality in such a case must be the abrogation of allegiance to the Crown. It was stiggestcd that this right of neutrality might be obtaincd by the enactment of some sort of statute securing such a right to Canada and thc proclamation of those rights t0 thc world. “We have the grcatcst respect for thc omnipotence of legislatures, and it is possible that thc Crown might be theoretical- ly divided by legislation. But it seems to us that under such legislation the Empire must also be uplit and ccasc to exist in so far as the mcnrbcr dominion obtaining such legislation. For the foundation of Empire in so far as Great Bri- tain and the Dominions are concerned is the unity of the Crown. The Crown is the sole common factor remaining. To preserve unity while at the same time achieving disunion seems to us to be beyond even thc omnipotence of the legisldture and it has not yet attained the sta-
g__ .- to the army manoeuvres of August and Septem- ber and to the dark days before Munich when to many people warscemed certain. It is not to be wondered at that Germans hoped for a real
progress. To many of them thc renewed press campaign against the democracies, the violent at- tacks upon certain British politicians" the ex- treme anti-religious and anti-Jewish campaigns, and the demands for more “sacrifice? in thc in- terests of rcarmnment, must have come as a bitter disappointment.
According t0 the London Times correspon- dent, thcre is widcsprcad resentment in Ger- many over the recurring shortage of certain foodstuffs. But there is no means of organiz- ing opposition under a dictatorship, and those who (lislike the present regime must perforce keep silcnt. But there is a breaking point which, when reached, may mean a revolution.

It was the unnatural combination of Agriculture-Labour and Social- ism that gave the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation its name and whatever political status it enjoyed. n- u u- a The King Government hasdaunchcd at $20,- 000,000 loan in New York without making much noise about it. In announcing the fact, the astute Mr. Dunning termed it, “a banking cre- dit," but a loan by any other name is thc self- same thing when it comes to paying interest and repaying capital. c n w c The late Mrs_ R. T. Holman’s garden was thc show place of Summcrsidc, indeed the late Sir \Villiam Stavert once remarked that “if you have seen Holmans store and Mrs. H0lman's garden you have seen an ideal business and an ideal home." Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren have lived to bless her in lifc and to cherish a fragrant memory. I I I l

The previous minimum penalty providcd a seven- day jail sentence or a fine.

The grim tragedy which hkp- penod at Btrathroy, in which n. mother and her two little daugh- ters, one aged two and the other five, were burned m death is another ghastly warning against pouring coal oll or gasoline on fires. This disaster was unneces- sary, and that is what makes it so terrible. It is difficult to un- derstand how any intelligent per- son would attempt. m pour coal oll or gasoline on a fire in brder. to make it. burn quickly, in view of all the sad occurrences that. have happened in Ontario in recent years by such practices. The news- papers of the province have been filled with emphatic warnings against pouring inflammable oll oi any kind on fires, but for some reason there are a. few who din- regarcl the awful danger, with the result that these tragedies occur.- Brantford Expositor.
One of the meanest chm n portrayed by Charles Dickens was Noah Claypole in "Oliver Twist." It was Noah who used to catch little children going essages and take their ennies and slxpences. There are C aypoles today, and they rob messenger boys. Some of them in Montreal go in pairs and work from automobiles. when they see a messenger, they stop the car. If no one else is about they almost invar- iably knock the defenceless mes- senger down. seize his cash and paroles and drive off. Occasionally they take the victim with them in the car to a. more szcludcd spot. then rob him and throw him into the street or road. These mean scoundrels often are armed. If any crlminlas deserve the full measuie of the law it. is the Noah Clay- poles. Compared with them, the
urglar is a gentleman. The police
would do well to concentrate stre- ial efforts to put. an end to th c nefarious practlcrs. —- Aft-n. . . Gazette.

Few Canadian stamps ever have borne as beautiful scenic views as those on the Jive higher values of the set recently put into circul- ation. It is a pity, than. that not one of the stamps hears any- thing to identify the view shown.

VOUTWITTING HOMEMAKEBS‘ FATIGUE
llbr many years it was believed that as practically all of the mis- takes made by typists or office em- ployees and the accidents in mtorles occurred just before the . noon hour and again between 4 mid 6 o'clock in the afternoon, tlltely werq caused by tiredness or
e.
Recently Drs. Haggard and Greenbelt in their book ‘Food and Physical Fitness‘ were ch10 to show that it was more often hun- ger that caused mistakes and ac- cidents as office and factory em- ployees ate very little breakfast and very little lunch. 13y spreading the saute amount of food over four y meals instead of three, 10 to 15‘ percent more week was done daily
y factory employees.
There is one class of individuals. however, whose fatigue or tired- ness is due more to being con- stantly on the feet than to not, eating enough food. I refer to the wife, mot-her, housekeeper, of the home.
Some idea of the physical and mental work thc homemaker has to cover in a day la outlined by Lou Tkegonlng in an article en- titled ‘Outwittlng Homemakers‘ Fatigue’ in Hygcfa.
You must be the manager, book- keeper, buyer, cook, waitress, dish- 17881181‘, 1st. nurse, telephone operator, counselor and budget- eer of time. money 1nd energy - ancl hold all the other positions l8 Iwell. Overfatigue is one of the homemaker-k worst enemies."
After outlining the work to be
done each day, u stem’ pre- vents confusion and confusion brings on fatigue sooner some of the suggestions to outwit fatigue are: . 1. Rest an hour or at least half an hour each da depending on the number of mem ers in the family- and your general health.
2. Ate you of npnnnl weight? 1f underweight and ire easily, eat. n
lunch between meals and a hot food at this time when doing heavier work.
