534 CRITIC ANSWERED

During his current visit to Can- ada Sir Herbert Samuel, leader of Q” Liberal parliamentary group in ‘Great Britain, has On several oc- casions defended the action of him- self and a handful of his, Liberal colleagues in resigning from the National Government because of ‘the Otta/wa agreements.

With such a policy, the laissez fairc free, trade Liberals of Great Britain could not ngrce and they withdrew from tho Notional Government in protest.

EGGS FOR BRITAIN

One of the hopeful aspects of the agricultural situation is the revival in the export of Canadian eggs to Great Britain, the volume of which promises to be heavier this season than at any time since 1926. While Canadian eggs have always held a high reputation on the British mar- ket, the relatively higher prices at home, coupled with the adverse “ex- change rate during recent years, have tended to prevent any volume of exports. The tariff preference ac-

Great Brztain has introduced have

"been the result of the basic change, in her policy and not the result ofl the Ottawa. Conference.

Sir Herbert Samuel has the right to disagree with the adoption of the policy of protection in Great Brit- sin. Disagrceing with that policy» he was thoroughly privileged to! withdraw from the National Gov- ernment and in fact could hardly have held firmly to his Qwn poll“- cal lsiews and remained in that government. But to blame the Of- tawa conference for the adoption of the policy of protection in Great Britain is to confuse the real pur- pose of that conference. At Ottawa, a way was found for exempting Britsh Dominlons in large measure from the application of the British duties and its success. therefore, is a factor in lowering the average level of British tariffs below what it would otherw-‘sl- have been.

VIMY MEMORIAL

The Vimy Ridge Memorial to the Canadians who fell in France 1n the Great War is nearly completed, and is to be unveiled next year. It is inscribed with the names of 11,500 Canadian soldlrrs, "known to be dead but having n0 known graves." ‘These are thc namcs of the men who fell up- on the soil of France. The names 0f 7500 more, those who fell in de- Iensc of the Old Salient, are in- lcrbcd at thc Menin Gate. The Vlml’ Memorial is thc lust unfinish- ed British war memorial but one.

' 01c other being the Australian mon- ument at Villicrs-Brettoncux.

‘I The Vimy Memorial as it 1s plc- turcd and described, is an impres- sive monument. It stands on the great ridge that looks doim on Ar- ras, "the gmat bastion of thc West- ern front." and across to thc coal towns. and furihcr yet in thc plain of Flanders. It was designed by Walter Allward, a Canad an sculp-

| lnett Government and that those

corded Canadian eggs under the 0t, tawa agreements, coupled with the improvement ln exchange rates, have been beneficial factors.

An encouraging feature of the Pending export business is that shipments probably will g0 to Bri- ta’n from a number of parts of Canada. In the past, with certain notable exceptions, most of the ex- port shipments have gone to Britain from Ontario and Quebec. Prince Edward Island this year should be prepared to take advantage of the brighter egg marketing prospects.

A smAzvcs Alvonnzr

According to our local contem- porary, “the whole country is seeth- ‘ing with indignation against Con- servative governments federal and provincial." Yet in its editorial col- umns of the same issue our contem- porary attacks the Bonrds of Trade of the Province for being so quies- cent. "Brief bags," it says, "which were regularly brought forth are now placed 1n cold storage to be used only when a Liberal Govern- ment resumes power." It calls the attitude of the Boards of Trade s. “farce", says they are under the “autocratic authority" of the Ben-

“who were most vociferous in for- mer day's are willing now to kiss the hand that smites them."

It must strike readers of the Lib- eral oxgan as remarkable that such leading members of our Boards of Trade as Messrs. S. A. MacDonald, R, E. Mutch, E. T. Higgs, W. F. Tid- marsh, George J. Tweedy, Liaison Rattenbuly, C. H. Chandler and B. A. MacL-eod should be rebuked for showing partisanship towards a Conservative administration, especi- ally when, according to our contem- porary. the "whole country" is ‘seething’ with indignation.

Notes By The Way

The evidence of the sincerity of British intention, says the London Daily Telegraph, in the matter of constitutional progress for India has at length overcome the forces of concentrated ill-will and busily- propagated mistrust. The Vcerofs own repeated declarations of keen sympathy with Indian desires. and

o: belief in their ultimate fulfil- ment, have had specially M11118 effect.

when we think of all the people who had died following severe burns and know that now we are in pos- session of a form of treatment which prevents this terrible loss of life, we are indeed grateful.

You will remember that previous to 1928, from 15 to 40 per cent of those with severe burns diedwhere- as now the death rate is about 4 per cent.

This is due to the treatment of burns by tannic acid.

Dr. P. H. Mitchener, London. tells us that during the period from 1929 to the present time. when tannlc

But they are not insane enough to disann with a madman just across the border, unless 1t ls made very certain that he cannot lay his hands on dangerous fire- arms.

Dominion general election is not necessary under the constitution until the Spring cf 1936. It seems that while dissolution must come within five years of the reiurn cf the last writ, the actual voting ncccl not take place until six months thereafter. The writ for thc Yukon was returned at the end of Sop. tember, 1930, 5c um if m» Gov~‘ ernment chose it could hold off the next general election until lvfarcll 1936.

The latest from Havana indlcat. es that Dr. Grau San Martin, thc third president which the Republic of Cuba has had within a few weeks, is ready to step down from the presidential chair. He states that tho identity of the man occupying the presidential office signifies nothing in comparison with thc principles of the revolui/Ion.

There arc experiments going nn in Britain. That fine old Lancashfrc firm of Pilkington have decided to reduce the working hours of their Doncaster employees from forty- eight to forty-two hours a week without any reduction of wages. It 1s interesting to recall that Pilk- ingon’s were practically the first firm to reduce their hours from twelve to eight. It may well that civilization with thc aid of ma- chinery is moving towards an era of increased lesure for workers without any decrease in the stand. ard of living.

The shorter working week, wheth-

tion in wages. is no remedy at all for the world's existing economic ills. If wages were reduced in pro- portion to the hours, it is conceiv- able that a large part. if not the whole of the unefnployed might be-l come reabsorbed in industry. That however, would simply be to stabil- ize the depression level of output . . . But what if weekly wages were left where they are? Clearly the

employers will be left with a. higher’ wage bill than before for the same, output. If they do not rccoilp‘ themselves by raising prices, they

acid compresses have been used as the routine outpatient treatment for all burns and scalds no deaths have occurred among the slighter cases, which average 800 a year and of which about one-third are children uudcr ten years of age.

The treatment of burns and scalds following proper cleansing of the damaged part, ‘aims at lessening collapse by stopping the absorption into the blood of the substances which usually cause collapse and death in from 12 to 48 hours after the burn.

The treatment also aims at les- sening the amount of fluid from the burned part which is often so ser- ious and so often fatal in the first 6 to 12 hours. '

Another aim is to prevent poison- ing of the system from the harmful material on the burned surface. as this may cause broucho pneumonia and death in from 5 to 12 days.

Dr. Mitcllcner keeps on hand a stock solution of 2 pcr cent tannic acid and 1 to 2000 blchlorlde of mercury.

In homes or shops where burns are not so frequent he compounded a tablet containing 171.5 grains of iannic acid, ‘.4.- grain bichlorlde of mercury, and l grain of borlc acid which tablet dissolved in 2 ounces of water gives a solution of the necessary strength though slightly muddy in appearance. It can be used equally well for spraying when this method is preferred.

If there is no tannin mold swoll- able, strong tea poured over the burn has given good results.

The relief from suffering and the saving of precious lives by this tun- nic acid treatment certainly gives lcause for thankfulness.

w A New Test (Banfishire Journal)

Evidently there has been discov- cred a new test of being the worse of liquor. At all events a London mun was last week charged at Croy- don Borough Police Court with being under the influence of drink while driving a car. Medical evidence was given that accused was unfit to drive a car. Inability to touch his own ncsc when his eyes were shut was put forward as one of the signs that thc defendant was under the influence of drink. Accused, allud- ing to a statement by the doctor that he could not stand steadily on one leg with his eyes shut and . hands above his head, said, “I could not do that now and a lot of people are unable to do that at any time." However, a fine was duly imposed.

Pledging Candidates

(Vancouver Provillw) The ch"r0practors of British Col- umbia i; ghelr- convention last week, decided to approach all can- didates for election w the L981!- loturc and seek to have them com- mit themselves for or against the proposed Chiropractors‘ Bill. In making this decision, the chim- practors acted in what they con- ceived to be the interests of their profession and followed a 001m! whlch has become popular of late with organimtlons seeking special treatment from legslative and ad- mlnlstratlve bodies. For seekin! w protect their own interests they can not, of course. be blamed. But neither the Chiropractic Association nor any other organization should be encouraged to pit special inter- ests in this way against the inter- ests 0f the general public. The form of government which we have developed in British coun- tries presupposes that a represen- tative elected to a legislature or parliament is the representative of the whole of the people; He is not the representative merely of the constituency which elected him; he is not the representative merely of the people who voted for him. He ls the representative of thc whole province or the whole country. As such he should have every freedom

But the party.‘ system has a. certain flexiblity about it. Under. it, the general practice ls to commit o, man on principles, policies and platforms. The candidate pledges himself in a general way. The details are left to his own judgment. But the new Plan of asking a candidate to com- mit himself in advance on details of legislation and administration leaves nothing at all to the candi- date's Judgment. Once elected, if he has any regard for his pledges, he is no free agent, but a slave. Tho mun who lo committed to prln- ‘ ciples and policies may take these‘ principles and policies as a guldel and find all the freedom that isl necessary within them. But the man who is committed in detail is in a strait-jacket and his useful- ness ls lessened by just that much. The plan of seeking pledges from candidates. as the chiropractors propose, ls- in the interests neither of good government nor good cit- izenship. It places voting and rep- resentation on a plane lower than thei one they should occupy. The candidate Who will give the pledge lequlrm is likely to be a poorer type of candidate, all things consid- ered, than the one who will insist on retaining his full freedom. But the candidate who refuses thc Pledge sacrifices votes and so les- sens his chance of election. The citizen who exacts‘ the pledge 5s do. ing something that, as a, citizen, he should not do.
