A POPULAR MEASURE

‘The experience of the Bennett Government in administering the Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act, says the Mail and Elnnin, has established clearly three facts rela- tive to tho attitude oi mind of Can- adian people:

(a) ‘Ihat in a very real way they are of assisting one nniiiihh the creditor by making concessions. the debtor assuming new obligations based on what he honestly feels is his capacity to pay.

(b) 'l'hat the very situation oi be- ing in default has tended to develoP misunderstandings and illwill, which can be readily eliminated when the parties get together under the guid- ance and direction oi a. conclliator.

(c) ‘ihat farmers, however debt- ridden they may be, have a natural aversion to bankruptcy and prefer to seek compromises on the part oi their creditors in order to readjust their fins ' i difficulties.-

To the end of April statistics from office in the Department oi Finance as to activities in the various provin- ces under the Act show that there were 48,120 interviews, 8,873 propos- als and 3.424 settlements In addi- tion, to thsend oi April, the Boards of Review had formulated 8B1 pro- posals, so that up to that date an aggregate oi 4,065 settlements had been effected by Official Receivers and Boards oi Rev-low.

The Bureau oi Advertising, rur- veying the whole field of publicity media and reporting to the Amer- ican Newspaper Publishers‘ Asso-

‘ “ now meeting in New York, says: "The final conclusion is that the advertiser who uses newspapers alone is getting the best available coverage at the lowest cost." There were plenty oi figures to back up the paragraph above. but one docs not need to consult figures to ap- preciate the soundness of the coil- clusion. Every magazine has some leaders. Every billboard is seen by some persons. Every radio station has‘ some listeners. But everybody reads the n. porn-Border Git- ies Btar.

William Hazlitt. in one of his sprightly and scintillating essays. speaks of the man of genius as wanting in Judgment. He explains m; by saying that "it is not a want of judgment, but an excess of other things" that creates this im- pression. He speaks oi such as the “willingly blind." The trouble with so many of us is that we look at no many things, and hear so much, that we see nothing and ab- sorb into our minds very little o! that which makes life iull, vital and thrilling. The genius overrides cus- tom and brushes the foolish barri- cades of convention aside. He must stand apart. He must be individual. He must lead. He is seriously a. man of thought and action and must not become mired in a. maze of excuses and apologies. He must be willing- ly blind.

"Several persons may pm-tgke o! the same food to which each is lower or very highly sensitive and shortly after eating one may develop hives (urticaria), a second rhinitis-- llllflanlmaliuzl oi lining of nose, a (hleathless- 1lrss) and the fourth allergy oi the stomach and intestine resembling food poisoning.

This stomach and intestinal ren- sitiveness to foods may be caused by the same factor as asthma, hay "fev- er and urticaria."

I am quoting Dr. Ernest r Risley Eaton in an address to'the New York Academy of Medicine.

The onset of the attack may be sudden or gradual and the attack so sharply defined that the food caus- ing the disturbance is at once rec- ognized or determined. irritability particularly while eating, tiredness, overeating. careless cooking may also be ly to blame.

Dr. Eaton mentions some of the symptoms or manifestation oi these food allergic attacks aflecting the stomach and intestine. They are: pain over the eyes, pain in back of the head, swelling of the eyelids, llos. tongue and membrnno (lining) of the mouth; canker sores, blurring oi vision, fear of pain, pain, nausea, fullness after eating, disten- sion oi the abdomen. diarrhoea or constipation, vomiting, pale and flabby skin, dizziness, exhaustion, sweating, colic, flatulence (gas), heartburn, lowered blood pressure and collapse." '

I believe most of us know one or moro foods that we may like but which do not like us, as the saving goes. We recognize or know these particular foods but there may be others which we do not suspect. The suggestion is that when we have the above or some of the above symp- tonls we should think of food allergy and try to find the offending food or ggtds and leave them out oi our

Bcdford Bennett has always known how he thought a. job should be done. It is timt same strong-mind- cdness that has armed his critics with the adjectives "domineering" and "autocratic." And apparently. ii’ MnBennetf/s faith in the ca/pltai- istic system has weakened, his faith in his own. judgment has not.

Admittedly, the problems 0i the future course of Mr. Bennett, and the leadership of his party, are not clarified as yet.

Mr.

Roosevelt In Inflation

(Ottawa Journal)

The case against inflation- ageinst one brand of inflation-has seldom been put more forcefully than President Roosevelt put it in his condemnation before Congress 0i the veterans’ bonus bill.

The proposition of this measure. known ofilclally as the Patman Bonus Bill, is that the United States Treasury print 32.200.000.000 of greenbacks, hand them over to the veterans. Mr. Roosevelt, warn- ing against this "deceptively easy method of payment." end holding that resort to such money would lead to other similar demands, add-

"The first person injured by sky- rocketing prices is the man on the fixed income. Every disabled veter- an on pension is on fixed income. This bill favors the able-bodied veteran at the expense of the dis- abled . ‘ .. . . . Every country that has attempted the form oi meeting its obligations which is hero provided has suffered disas- trous consequences."

Mr. Roosevelt was on the side oi history. The story oi what happen- ed during the French Revolution, the story oi what happened to greenbacks after the American Civil War, the story of what hap- pened in Germany after the Great Wa.":—ali tell the some thing. In- flation or the particular brand of inflation which resorts to printing press money, is a catastro, .

If it could happen, or if it could be manag ’, that the supply of money could be made more plenti- ful without a rise in prices, print- ing press money would have no terrors. But it doesn't work that way. As soon as money ls issued without something tangible behind it, without gold or credit, than. in- evitably, men lose faith in its in- tegrlty, there u afconsequent flight from money to things, and prices

soar.

This, bad enough in itself, would not be so bad ii wages and in- comes soared with prices. But they don't. All economic experience shows that, under inflation. wages and incomes are the last things to rise, with the result, of course, that the great army of workers and mir‘d‘e- class salaried people are worse off than before.
