CANADA AND u. s.

At St. Lawrerlce University at Canton. N.Y., recently, a conference

ion Canadian-American relations

was hold and a number of disting- uished men from both countries discussed , oblenls of common in- terest. The object of the conference Ill not to improve the relations of the two countries. The relations

' are of the friendliest and have .beon friendly for more than a. The object was rather to study the basis of this friendliness-to discover, if possible,

_ why with a border of 3000 miles along the forty-ninth parallel and mother border half as long on the Alaskan frontier there is practically

no friction.

The conference was held under

» the auspices of the Carnegie E113 "dowment for International Peace and seems to have had its origin

, in the fertile brain of Dr. James - T. Shotweil, director of the en- dowments division of economics and history. Dr. shotwell, Canadian-

born but long a resident of the

United States, has been engaged until recently upon the editing of a monumental Economic and Social History of the War, and in the course of his studies was im- pressed with the lfiiculty of main-

‘ taining unbroken peace between

nations living side by side in the crowded continents of Europe. For some time it has appeared to Dr. Shotwell that the key to the problem of Europe might be found in the continued friendly relations between the two great democracies of North America, his own native country and his adopted country. Having the facilities provided by the Carnegie Endowment at his disposal, he has been directing a detailed examination of these re- lations and. within a few years. the results of the survey will be published. The conference at Can- ton was a phase of the survey. It brought together men from the two countries who have been giving some attention to the questions under examination, and enabled them to exchange views in a. con- ‘ genial atmosphere. There are, suggmts the Vancouver Province, a great many factors to be studied in the examination now in progress, the character of the Peoples on the two sides of the international boundary, the charac- ter of their institutions, the econ- omic and social development of the P601119. the influence of that devel- opment, the influence of the frontier and of the pioneering spirit common to both nations, the common lang- uage, the great trade that has been pouring both ways across the boundary, the financial relations of the two peoples, the machinery which has been evolved for the settlement of disputes-nail these things and others are being studied in the hope that somewhere in them may be discovered a. formula which may be applied to the prob- lems of the other continents with a view to bringing them something of the order and peace and hope which this continent has known for more than a hundred years. The factors cited above are all no doubt of importance, but there is another to which recognition is too

_ seldom given. That isthe fact that

Canada is an integral part of the British Empire, and has for her de- fense, should the occasion arise, the strong arm of the British Navy.

Mars. the planet, was at its near- est to the earth last month and the best view of it for seven years was obtained. Observation disclosed no canals such as are believed to exist on Mars. It is true Mars was 60.000.- 000 miles away at the time; but viewed through a 20-inch telescope it appeared twice as big as the moon does to the naked eye. The dark markings on the planet stood

thousand miles. Once those mark- ings were presumed to be oceans, but that belief has been exploded. Mars. like the earth, has Polar caps. The greater part oi’ the plan- et's surface is a dull pink color that suggests desert, and the planet, as seen through the telescope, is by no means so red as it appears to the naked eye-Victoria Colonist.

THE DISEASE!) TONSIL LIKE ANY OTHER DISEASE!) ORGAN MUST BE RE-

MOVED IF POSSIBLE

--_.

The. statement that the’ tonsils were placed in the body for some Purpose and that they should not be removed is often made and to a great extent is logical, And, as a matter of fact, the tonsils do serve a useful purpose in filtering poisons from the blood stream, and it does not seem good sense to remove one of the body's safeguards.

That tonsils have been taken out simply because they were “large" is only too true, and the youngster has thus been left without this natural safeguard. Just to what extent this has interfered with rlls general hefllth and his ability to throw of‘! or endure the illnesses of childhood cannot of course be stated in exact terms. ‘ _

HOWGVE!‘ to leave tonsils in that are diseased or “sick", unable to do their work of cleansing the blood is badenough. but it is a great deal worse. as you will admit, to leave bad or infected tonsils in which act- ually help to infect or poison the blood instead of purifying it. And what can be said about the tonsils can be said about any organ of the body even when , its use is better known than is that of the tonsils.

As a matter of fact there is really

no hard and fast rule about remov- ing tonsils. The physician must study all the angles of the case. Operation means expense, 501119 time lost, the use of an anaesthetic, and the removal of tonsils that may still be useful. On the other hand, to neglect to remove diseased tonsils, tonsils that are of no use, but an actual menace to health and to life itself, with the strong possibility of rheumatism and heart disease following neglect of removal, puts a very grave res- ponsibility upon" the physician. In fact his personal and professional reputation are at stake; he must use his best judgment.

They complain that their new houses have no founda- tions, wells are not being dug fast enough, there is no shelter for their livestock, no roads to enable them to visit their neighbours, and the prices are too high at the gov- ernment commiasary. It is the same old story which so often has been told. Assisted movements toward settlement do not achieve the suc- cess which marks spontaneous movement. The Western Provinces of Canada may have a few excep- tions to the rule but the uments to failures are many.

Canad-a’s Peat Deposits

(Sydney Post Record) A group of British promoters

who are thoroughly reqaonsible and represent real money have placed a proposal before the

Federal Government for process- ing and marketing the beat deposits of Ontario and Quebec.

tlve Mr. Mewyn Brown a former Canadian, explained the whole project at a. dinner which he gave at the Chateau Laurier to Memb- ers of Parliament, Senators and the Ottawa Board of Trade. The developing company will be capitalized at 81.000000, will

Dysart further pledged his party to give free school books to every- body, rich and poor alike.

The next N. B. bid was to autoists, with a. promised reduction in auto license fees. The Conservative Gov- ernment herc has done this already.

The N. B. Liberal party promised to erect cold storage plants in dif- ferent parts of the province. Except as a bribe these are sis-urgently needed as a side pocket for a. toad.

The Patriot says: “The Tory GOV- ernment of New Brunswick vastly increased the debt? That may be true, but its "similarity" in this res- pect is to the big Lea debt rather than the Conservative ene.

N. B. Liberals assured the unem- ployed of wonk for all. Like the ‘Hepburn, Ontario, and Macdonald in N. s. governments, time will show the workers who took this baited hook to be still looking for a. job.

One favorite madness of the local Liberal organ the Liberals of N. B. were not sufficiently demanded to adopt. They did not try to blame any govennment for the inability of the worid to consume the potatoes in the farmers “cellars, unable to get rid of them at ally price." They left that imbecility entirely to the Patriot. '

The N. B. Liberals promised to “balance the blldiiet" by 59911131"! extravagantly on the one hand. 1nd wmng down revenues on the other. The Lea party are trying w I001 Island electors with the same kind ‘of buncombe. But surely our P901316 are too well educated to be mliifid by mathematical impossibility.

Meanwhile , it is in- terestlng to note that these Te‘ ports show there are 124,000 acres of peat bogs in Ontario contain- 111g 113,000,000 tons of peat and 110.000 acres in Quebec with M1 estimated content of 76.000000 tons.

establish a plant at Alfred, some B0 miles from Ottawa, where the richest deposits exist and will start with a production of 50,000 ions oer year selling its output in the domestic fuel markets of Central Canada. The subsidy the Dominion Government is asked to contribute in one dollar per ton, and with this assistance, Mr. Brown says, the peat can be dried processed and sold in brickette form at Ottawa for $7 per ton. And one and a. half tons of this peat, it is claimed. would have the fuel value of one ton of anthracite, which sells in Ontario at prices ranging from $12 to $15 per ton,

Among the speakers who at- tended the dinner and spoke in supportyof the project were Mayor Nolan of Ottawa, Hon. H. I-l. Stevens, Hon. Charles Stewart. and Hon. J. D. Chaplin. Recently returned from an investigation of the peat deposits in Europe. Mr. Chaplin declared the Canadaian deposits superior to those in Den- mark and equal to the best he had found in Ireland. All speak- ers were agreed that the Domin- ion Governmcnt should grant the modest aaistamo necem to make peat a factor in the solution of Canada's fuel problem.

several other provinces. The question which naturally in- terests Nova. Scotians is what ef- fect the development of peat as a fuel would have on the oolliery industry of this province. The lflflponents of peat as a. fuel maintain that their project would not prejudice Canadian coal min- ing to any appreciable extent, if at all ,and they are probably col‘- rect in their contention as the main purpose of marketing thi-B form of fuel would be to displace anthracite coal, now imported a1- most exclusively from the United States and Great Britain. But if it should also displace as well a. modest quantity of Nova Scotia. coal in Central Canada, the coal trade of this province has no reason to fear such competition, for it would be yea-rs 5950!‘ D0947 sales could amount to even a half million tons per year and. in the meantime, Canadian con- sumption of fuel will probably expand by ten times that quantity. In any case, the attitude of Nova Scotia’: public men should. on grounds of public policy, be o] pathetic toward the “ ‘.,. ment. of Central Canadian peat. for if these deposits can
