A good mother loved and worked for her son;

She taught him. and she obviously trusted him;

She prayed-as what mother has not in some way-

That he be strong and brave and g00d—

That he be able to rnect his temptation when it came,

And then she went to bed. serene in her love and faith.

Another good mother prayed when she should have taught; i

She believed God would protect her son

Even prayer, improperly used, can be evil.

A Liberal

Blast

Charging nothing short of "betrayal at Ottawa" the Halifax Chronicle (Liberal) makes a scathing editorial onslaught on one of its own leading M. P15, Hon. J. L. Ilsley, Minister of

wFiim-ice. The Clironicla accuses Mr. Ilsley in ‘ mqﬁxho "M zls King Govem-

Diesel engines which formerly entered this country free are now subject to a new twenty- five per cent duty.

Industrial diamonds are subject to a sub- stantially higher tariff than heretofore. _

A careful analysis of the budget, says the Chronicle, will reveal a subtle and consistent at- tempt to effect tariff increases on a number of finished products.

"This is deliberate betrayal not only of poli- tical commitments at home but of our con- firmed low tariff policy in external relations as ivell," the Chroniclrdcclares. “It is betrayal of a sort which no amount of glossing over by Mr. Ilsley and his colleagues can hope to con- ceal from the eyes of the Canadian people and of‘ the world. It is betrayal of a sort which may well wreck all hope that may still be entertained for the success of the forthcoming discussions on Dominioii-Proviiicial relations. The Mari- timcs, for a certainty, will not be prepared for one moment to do business with a government at Qttawa which has‘ so clearly demonstrated a

The Chronicle is, of course, in close con- lmft with its provincial party leader, Premier Angus Macdonald, Mr. Ilsley's former col- league in the King Govermnent. Can this edi- torial blast have been inspired by tlfe Hon. fmgui? It looks, at any talc, as if a big fain- ily row is IIiCVClOPiIIK among Liberals in our sister province.

During the second nix-month period of the last fiscal year, liquor board profits amounted to $2,320,000, compared with $1,800,000 in the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year. “During this past i2 months the liquor board has produced a profit of $4.87v.wo wmpma with $3,300,000 in the year prior lo the C.

London Economist reports. Dur- ing the Italian occupation, the Ita- lian lira supplanted the Marla ThfZTGSJ. dollar, which had been the traditional currency of‘ the country. Since the Emperor was restored, two currenciol have com- peted: the old silver dollar and the East African shilling, which tivas introduced by the British forces. Owing to the scarcity of silver, the big Maria 'I'hresa coin has had a. higher bullion value than its exchange rate as fixed by the military and Ethiopian author- ities; and 1t was, in fact, the only freely accepted currency in large areas of the country, The new Ethiopian dollar 1s given the fixed mte ol exchange o! two East.
