~ i,‘ KING_ FAMILY, DEMOCRACY

There is much food for thought in the fol- lowing comment from The Fortnightly Law Iournal:

“The King by the hereditary nature of his office shows us that, in these days when so much stress is laid upon the ini_portance of the ballot, great men are born as well as elected, and that heredity is not out of place in democracy as we understand it. In fact it seems t0 us that successful democracy must revolve around l antral sun whose position remains fixed and from which all the subsidiary units draw their authority and life. After all the family which is the basic unit of democratic national life is an undemocratic institution. But since democracy is essentially the harmonizing of conflicting in- terests of all kinds, none of these things are anomalies let alone paradoxes. In other words democracy is not government in itself, but oniv l means to obtain good government. So if the highest and lo\vest of our institutions, the Crown and the family, are essentially non-demo- cratic, and if the Crown typifies the family, as the King does, we can learn from that a lesson of democracy, that ought to make easy the at‘ tainment of nationhood and national unity. If the King's visit can teach us that, he will have accomplished a result, that, it seems to us, must

one of the underlying reasons for our pres- ent good fortune in having our King among us for the first time in history.”

ADVISES 1940 ELECTION

The Winnipeg Free Press, (Liberal) ex- resses the hope, now that the decision has been

made to adjourn Parliament for only a few days during the arrival of His Majesty in Can- ada and at the capitl, that no general federal election will be held this year.

There are, says the Free Press, no reasons why there should be an election in 1939, but many why an election in 1940 would be better. The Government would have to take into account, for instance, the charge that would instantly be made, that it hoped to capitalize upon the interest and excitement of the Royal visit. Moreover, the normal life of Parliament is five years. and only in very special circum- stances should any government reduce the length of that life. “If a Government should ‘suddenly change its course; if it abandons the pledges which it made at the time of its election for new pledges; if an historic party reverses the normal course of its policy between elec- tions; if it ‘should be seriously threatened in farliament in such a way that it is manifest it has lost the confidence of the people; then, and then only, is a Government justified iu going to the country."

The Free Press reminds its party Government at Ottawa that many problems remain to be tackled. And so far as strategy goes, “Mr. King has only to consider his o\vn record to see the value of maintaining himself through the natural life of the present Parliament. Elected first in 1921, he chose to go to the country in 1925 with results so unsatisfactory that another election was licld within a year. Elected again in i926, he went to the country in 1930 with results which can hardly have been pleasant for him. Hut Mr. King will have to ask himself whether an election in i030 might be interpret- ed by the. voters as 2m admission on Mr. King's part that he could do no more. If they reached that conclusion, their instinct might well be to try and find a substitute more ready to accept the responsibilities of office."

PAYING THE BILLS

In their zeal for the flesh-pots electors too

.frequently forget the homely lesson thus ex- ‘pounded by the Financial Post: “There is only one taxpayer in Canada.

There is not a municipal taxpayer, a provincial ‘taxpayer and a Dominion taxpayer. These three ire one. There is no way that his burdens can be lightened by shifting expenses from one gov- Qrnment to another. v "There is no source of income in Canada ex- Iieept the income of the people. The government {that gives the people-or one group of them- } bonus or subsidy or grant or other form of gratuity takes it out of all the rest of the people. The Government has no income of its bwnfit merely plays aroundwith the money iofthe people as a whole. ygl-“Every time the Government makes a con- a special ‘class it has to tax to find rifle money.

"Speaking in the Senate on the question of Mllfllill defence, Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen de- clared that Canada was largely responsible for

the Sydney Post Record, is a vital truth_ Can- ada was the country and Ernest Lapointe the man. The main exhibit was Dr. Riddell, de- moted from his post as Canada's representative at Geneva because he has had the effrontery to back Britain's policy with respect to the"imposi-

affair." From the moment Mr. Lapointe called Dr. Riddell down, the League ceased to function as a serious tribunal for the enforcement of in- ternational law and world peace.

It is now predicted that Chancellor Hitler will call for a real showdown with the. demo‘ cracies in July. This would give him time to de- velop a press campaign for Danzig, and although there is an important school that believes that a fundamental crisis will be postponed until the Nazis have gathered in the harvest, it is point- ed out that most of the crops in Southern Ger- many will have been gathered by July. It would be like our bad luck should this happen. for we were on the eve of the 1914 Confederation cele- brations when the outbreak of the Great \Var

caused their abandonment.

According to researches. the name "Piccadilly" originated from the fact that one Robert Baker, formerly a tailor, had built a house in what is now Great Windmill Street. In the Overseers‘ Accounts of the Parish of St. Martin-in-the- Fields of I623, he is described as of “Pickadilly Hall," the name having been probably applied to his housepin jesting reference to the fortune made by him in vending "Pickadils," which were a species of stiff. round collar. It was then not uncommon for the houses of prominent citizens

to be called after their owners’ trades. x w m u

Fulham Palace, the home of the Bishops of London, will soon, for the first time in thirty- eight years, have a mistress. Rev. Dr. Geoffrey Francis Fisher, appointed to succeed in Septem- ber the present aged bachelor occupant, Dr. Winnington-Ingram, who is 81, is father 0f six children. all boys, the oldest being 2i. The salary of the London bishopric is $50,000. Dr. Fisher, as Bishop of Chester, receives $21,000 a year. Mrs. Fisher, before. marrying Dr. Fisher in 1917, was Miss Rosamond Chevalier Forman, duaghter of the late Rev. A. F. E. Forman, and granddaughter of Dr. S. A. Pears, once headmaster of Rcpton. Dr. Fisher was head- master of Reptou himself, from 1914 to 1932, before he became Bishop of Chester.

The marked gain in the sale of new farm im- plenients which took place in Canada between 1936 and 1037 was not continued at the same rate in 1938, nevertheless sales for the year rec- orded a substantial improvement over i937. Do- mestic sales at wholesale prices to dealers totalled $36,336,056 for i938, up i8 per cent from the $30,775,198 reported for 1937, which, in turn, was almost 60 per cent above the $19,343,871 recorded for i936. These figures are exclusive of parts, binder twine and farm trucks. Sales by main groups were as follows in i938, with fig- ures for i937 in brackets: tractors and engines, $l5.973.058 ($l3.329.304); harvesting ma- chinery. $7,i<>a.s4s ($3,883,524); tillage ma- ‘hinefy. $4.449-286 ($4.744.093): planting and seeding machinery, $2,138,267 ($2,209,165): haying machinery, $1,433,771 ($1,293,610); all other types, $5,238,929 ($5,315,3i2.)

In a letter to the Globe and Mail, Mr. W. P. Callaghan. Summerside, says: "It is reported that several hundred thousand tons of German coal and coke came to,Canada in 1938, and has been coming forseveral years. The discrim" inatory freight rates on coal are responsible in a large measure for this. Right herein this small town of Summerside, hard coal has been com- ing from Germany in steamer loads, and the freight rate is slightly over $1 per ton, a dist- lnceof about 3,000 miles. It is sold here to con-

'- simmers at $14 per ton. Of this amount $8 or

$Q of every ton noes back to Germany.“ Andfor what purpose? To enable them to make am- fmunltion. bombing planes and other. “war ma- tliridls, and he a menace to the peace of the

A I‘ resident of Winnipeg, who ls applying for Canadian ult- urslizatlon, was asked recently wnet. he considered to be the outstand- ing th tn our Canadian charac- ter. He replied: “Duldung - the spirit of tolerance." The instinct to extend to others the freedom he deeply rooted ln Candalan con- SClOUSIICaa. At s time when gov- ernments elsewhere are denounelnft tolerance not only as weak tn lt- self, but as an unbearable handl- cap to the building up of a nation, it‘. might be well to think a little about why it g thing“ We are tolerant, because we bellevo lt right. to be so. vVe believe that. no man ls good enough or wise enough to rule other men without their consent.

A World's Fllr h the but of all places to dream of Utopia. Ours differs wlde‘y from the Utopian oi the past. Two hundred years ago when famlne might. stalk through the land Utopia was a land of plenty where mortals ate and drank from golden vessels and the very‘ trees were good to eat. Judged by these standards, we must. be llv-I trig 1n Utopia now.

The Pedestrians’ Association has suggested a reform of road trans- port which must have occurred to many observers. It asked the Ministry of Transport. to secure n. limitation of the amount of merchandise now carried by road which might be more suitably conveyed by railway, canal. or coastal shipping. The removal of traffic from the roads to the ca- nals ls rather a startlln idea when one considers the grea difference in speed of these tlwo modes of transport. but. there cannot be much doubt, that under a unlfled organization of transport many of the heavy loads would be transfer- red to the railways as the more economic as well as the safer way. At the same meeting Lord Cecil pointed to a glaring defect ln the report of the Select Committee on Road Safety-its failure to reject. the fallacy of the importance of speed To drlve cars fast was. he said, a "cruel and reckless piece of selfishness which all decent people should de lore and eon- demn." Lord Cecl ls one of the few public men who regard the quest on of road safety as a moral issue. and he regrets that. the Churches have riot: spoken dearly upon it. —Manchest»er Guardian.

Dr iielmuth llusserl, the Vien- nese scientist who ls now staying in Cape Town. advocates the Ant- arctic as a disease killer. and the life of a seamen for the prevention of cancer. Dr Husserl recently re- turned from the Antarctic tn the whaling factory ship. Suderoy, aft/er a five-month voyage. suggests that hospital ships should be sent. "down South" with pat- tents. who in the lnvlgoratlnply clean Antartlc alr, full of curat ve propertlm. will have the greatest. chance of rewvery. Outstanding properties in the Antarctic air are chloride and iodine. In a. report which ne sent to Germany, he states that the seamen who spend. their ltves at sea never contracted any form of cancer. This fact lie holds would one day become one of the most important proofs of the genesis of cancer throuiilt the earth rays. In the same way rheumatic diseases were also less frequent and never became as ser- ious as they did on land. The 01l- mate of the Antarctic is .50 healthy, he says that. contagious dlsecsea. suzh as influenza, or the contrac- tion of tetanus after wounds. do not peplur. — South African News Bul- e n.

One of the pleces of apparatus that ls more into use tn physic- lens’ offices ls that used or ths metabolism test—rate at which the body p. s are working. Th): m, ls controlled lgtvhthe thyw-d gland in tlhe neck. e body pm-
