PROROGATION

The business of the Legislature this year was conducted on clock- work schedule. The House met on March 2, and adjourned on April 2. The budget debate, participated in by rnost of the members, concluded in sufficient time to allow the esti- mates to be passed at exactly 12 o'- clock midnight on Thursday, pro- viding just the requisite time to dis- pose of outstanding legislation on Friday and on Saturday morning.

At 12.40 a. m. Saturday the legis- lative business was concluded, leav- ing twenty minutes to be filled in before the arrival of His Honour the Lieutenant Governor. Led by Mr. Lea, the Opposition membe a sang lustily: "Its a long, Long Trail A-winding to the Land of My Dreams." Mr. J. A. Campbell then rendered acceptably the chorus of n Gaelic song, and was followed shortly afterwards by Mr. Aeneas Gallant, who led the singing mem- bers of the House in the rousing

chorus of Allouette, Gentil Allou- ette. Dixie Land and O Canada were also sung before the arrival of His Honour, who assented to the bills passed during the session and formally announced the prorogation.

The session was outstanding by reason of the high average quality of the speeches delivered in debate. This remark applies to both sides of the House. The fact that the Op- position was largely represented un- doubtedly contributed to the lntcr- est of the session. Mr. W. M. Lon. the Opposition leader, fulfilled his duties capably, and the same ap- plies to his lieutenants, particularly Mr. ‘Thane A. Campbell, who. as the on‘y lawyer on thc Opposition sldo. took a lczuling part in the pro- crtdings.

The position takrn by the Gov- (‘TllFllClliZ on the financial situation, is reasons for economy and the manner in which it proposed to cf- fcct a. saving by cutting down on unnecessary road expenditures and other public works, went prlctically unchallenged by the Oprhfffilll. The Government viewpoint was admjf- ably set before the House by Pm- mier Stewart, Hon. G. Shelton

sllllfil. Hon. Dr. MacMillan, Hon. I . F. MacPhee and others: and it s highly significant that the Op- position speakers‘ time was taken up less with attacking the govern. ment than with defending the pol- icies of the late Liberal administra- tion. An impartial observer could note, under all the rhetorical flour- ishes of the debaters, a sincere con- viction that the financial affairs of the Province were in a serious con- dition, and that it was the part of 800d Citizenship i0 refrain from partisan bickering and to co-opcrate with the administration in effecting economy and good govemment.

MR. KING'S TROUBLE

The trouble with the Rt. Hon. w. 1.. MacKenze King is that he forgets he is no longer Prime Min- ister of Canada. So asserted the Hon. C. H. Cahan. who replied to the hon. gentleman in the closing debate on the Unemployment and Farm Relief Bill, which was carried under closure in the House of Commons on Friday night Mr. King, as has already been shown here, was the belligerent leader in op- position to the bill, charging the Government with usur-ping the power and right of Parliament. The ministry, he sa’d, under this measure would be clothed with un- limited power to spend money, a-

should, come before the Imperial Economic Conference is the dis- tr.bution of Imperial Talking Pic- lures. A remarkable letter in the London Times sets out, w'th equal force and wisdom, a danger which not many yet have taken seriously, and which some have too readily believed to be passing away. Dr. Wood dates his letter from Singa- pore, and he reports what was said to him by an Australian at Derby in West Australia; and he is con- cerned with faraway places, some British, some foreign, when the Brit‘!!! film is nil but unimown.

ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR some months ago I spoke about the wonderful work now being done in mental hospitals whereby, of every ten that enter for treatment six come out cured. And the cure in a large number of cases is due to the correction of some physical defect such as infected teeth, ton- sils, ear, appendix, chronic consti- pation. _

By having dentists and general practitioners on the stafl of these mental hospitals, besides the men- tal speciallsts, and using team work as it is called, these brilliant re- sults have been obtained.

In former days, as I remember them, I lived opposite one of the largest mental institutions in the country, the inmates were all con- sidered ‘crazy’ and all but a very few were kept locked up in small wards or individual cells.

Now, however, mental ailments, even what is known as insanity are simply looked upon as ‘behavior’ conditions, the individuals simply failing to behave in a normal or proper manner.

Accordingly this behavior is in- vestigated and a search made for any one or a number of conditions that may be responsible for the ab- normal behavior of the patient.

If there are no physical defects such as mentioned above, or if these physical defects are corrected and the behavior remains unchang- ed months afterward, a further search must be made. , Another cause for abnormal be- havior had been found in one" or other of the ductless glands of the body-thyroid, in neck, adrenal above kidneys, pituitary at base of skull, and so forth. where these glands are not doing their work properly there frequently happens unnatural or abnormal actions on the part of the individual such as extreme ir- ritability, great depression, care- lessness of manner or in dress, fears of various kinds, or other condi- tions of behavior that render the individual unsuited to his usual business or family relations.

Dr. A. R. Timme states that not only may a change in these endo- crine glands produce an em tional state, but emotional strain ver a prolonged period may definitely af- fect the structure and working of the glands.

You can thus see that if all cases of mental disability are studied from these various standpoints and are treated accordingly a, great many ‘peculiar’ individuals are bound to be restored to a condition where they will become normal members of the community again.

EAST LAKE SANCTUARY

Sir,—If we are not to bear the stigma of leaving to future gen- erations a sameless land, a land where neither the cooling of spring nor the approach of winter is heralded by the voices of migrat- ing feathered guests, no time should be iost to establish game preserves. The boys of today have listened with interest and astonish- ment to their fathers and grand- fathers as they told of the abund- ance of game in their days. Geese and ducks abounded and flew low. Few had guns in those days. There was an sionai flintlock mus- ket. Anyone who had one, did not have to hunt. He could get them at his holne as they flew from one water to another. The modern breech loading gun and rifle, to- gether with pot-hunting and night- shootlng has left us now with nothing to shoot. North Lake, once a great resort for both geese and ducks, is now entirely deserted. Last fall, I did not see a goose or duck, though I spent several weeks in the vicinity.

The only hope for the preserva- tion oi’ game lies in stringent laws, close seasons, bag limits, and game sanctuaries.

It is my opinion that there is in this part of the island, an ideal place for a game sanctuary, East Lake has always been considered the breeding place of mostof the ducks that frequented the other ponds in these eastern parts. When alarmed they always made for East Lake. East Lake is not a har- bor for fishing boats as it is con- nected with the sea by a. small stream. There is a large tract of marsh and it is still fairly well shaded. By making a game preserve here and allowing no shooting or trapping within a reasonable area, the birds would have a chance to breed. When fairly plentiful, they would frequent other ponds as in old time. With a sanctuary for breeding, birds would no doubt be- come reasonably plentiful. Of course the land-owners would have to be indemnified. What do our sportsmen think of the matter.

I am Sir, etc,

Manchurian Facts

(Toronto Globe)

Sooner or later a peace conference must take place to settle the present difficultes between China and Japan. In this peace conference the status of Manchurla will be the real issue. A clear understanding of the historical background of the present trouble is essential in con- sidering a just settlement there. As» every one knows, Manchurfa is an area about the size of Ontario; much similar in climate and fertil- ity. Forty years ago it was Pwpled by a mere handful of inhabitants. Now it is the home oi’ 30,000,000 people-mostly Chinese.

Manchuria is not and never has been a part of China proper. For fourteen hundred years the Great Wall stood as the towering vsible boundary between the two countries. Occasionally invaders from Mien- churia swarmed over the wall-and gradually became absorbed in the Chinese race. Never until this century was there any considerable movement in the other direction. Manchuria leaped info world im- portance in the nlnetes. Russia was pushing her railways eastward to the Pacific. From the sxteenth cen- tury onward she had bitten off huge chunks of the territory lying

est route tn the Pacific lay through Manchuria. In 1806, when Japan had just defeated China in war, Russia and China made an agree- ment amed at Japan. Under this treaty Russia got the right in build the Chnese Eastern Railway. which shortened Russia's route to the sea by 56.8 miles.

When the Boxer Rebellion broke out in China, Russia, with other Powers, sent troops to Pekin. But when the trouble was over Russia simply wthilrew her armies to Menchuris. There was no doubt (even before the secret treaty with China became known) that Russ’: fntended- to annex Manchuria in order lo have access to an all-year- roimd ocean port on the Pacific. Japan completed the alliance with Britain. Shortly afterward (in 1904-05) she- fought and defeat- ed Russ'e--driv'ng the latter com- pletely out of the southerly hall of Manchurie. .
