A Liberal Protest

Again the Mackenzie King Government has been taken to task by its leading party news- paper in Western Canada, the Winnipeg Free Press. The Free Press cites two recent orders- in-council fixing values for duty purposes of .certain textile imports. The general tariff on bedspreads and counterpains of artificial silk and C0ll011 is 35 per cent, plus 4 cents per pound; the tariff rate is to be increased, in ef- fect, by fixing the value of these goods at 32 cents per pound. The general tariff on towels and woven fabric of terry cloth ranges from 25 to 35 cents ad valorem, plus 4 cents per pound: this tariff rate is being virtually increas- ed by fixing values for these goods ranging from 34 to 80 cents per pound.

The Free Press cites Mr. King’s own pre- election pledges guaranteeing the entire aboli- tion of “executive tariffs, such as arbitrary values, exchange regulations, dump duties and the like."

“Perhaps," it says, “it will be argued that there are special circumstances that justify a limited use of the device of raising the value for duty purposes of goods that are imported. But that is conceding the principle. How can the Liberal party criticize any future Conservative government if it returns to the frequent use of fixed valuations as a means of ‘providing higher protection?"

"Incredible Inactivity’!

, " ‘Saturday Night,” whose editor is a Liberal and whose editorial attitude certainly cannot be

' construed as being aiiti-Liberal, makes the fol-

lowing comment with regard to the likely issues in the next federal campaign:

“Foremost among them will be the almost incredible inactivity of the Government in rela- tion to unemployment. Even if Mr. King had not made a point of it in his pre-election ad- dresses, it would still have been the obvious duty of the Government to secure s. reliable registry of the unemployed, the lack of which is one of the chief reasons for the appalling un- intelligence of all our efforts to deal with this situation. The Bren gun contract is also fair- ly sure t0 be a major subject of discussion, and even the Broadcasting Corporation may give the Government some trouble. But the most serious charge of all, though one which it is difficult to reduce to exact terms, will prob- ably be the charge that the complete impasse between the Dominion and the Provincial Gov- ernments in everything relating to the regula- tion of industry and the reduction of unempoly- ment, which reduces Canadians to the plight of having to look to constitutional amendment as their only hope, could have been avoided by a more tactful and at the same time a firmer manner of dealing with the premiers of the pro- vinces."

A Lone Wolf

While Mr. Camillien Houde, the mayor of Montreal, was at one time the Conservative leader in the Province of Quebec, he has long ago severed his connections with the party. He denounced repeatedly both the Duplessis gov- ernment and the Bennett administration and dissociated himself publicly from both of them; and it is well known that at the last may- oralty election of the city, of Montreal he re- ceived practically the solid support of the Lib- eral party who hailed his victory in that city as a triumph of the Liberal cause. v

It can be truthfully said that in his recent utterances on the attitude of mind of the French Canadian people,'Mr. Houde spoke with no authority from either political party and, in fact, does not express the views of the French Canadian people as a whole. On the contrary, his views as expressed in his recent address have been generally condemned.

Misleading The Public

One of the mysteries connected with the Bren gun scandal is the origin of the misleading sum- mary of Commissioner Davis's lengthy report, issued to the press at the same time. Prime Minister Mackenzie King denies-that the sum- mary came from his department. Mr. Homuth, Conservative member for Waterloo South, pro- duced the synopsis in Parliament and charged that if it didnot come direct from the govern- ment it svas issued by the National Liberal Fed- eration. Mr. King thereupon expressed incre- dulity. “There were all kinds of guesses by journalists as to what was in‘ the report,” he said, ,"but-the report was delivered to me personally and was in my possession, and no one outside saw the report. ‘I am sure the judge of the Supreme Court did not give it out; I know I idid not give it 0ut.' Ilfwas in my possession un- -fil sent to be printed, Any reports that appeared in the press were purely conjecture r they could not have been taken from the or‘ 'nal."

. Here are the facts, as stated by . H. Morden, Ottawa correspondent for the Montreal‘ Star: i The reporfwas handed to the press on -Friduy,

Jan. rjth. ‘Copies of the report were

‘ vhanded out in {confidence ‘some: hour's before it

tabled in the House, covered by a release re_stri'ction_ for the hour at which ‘it would

mary, published broadcast before the report could be studied in detail and entirely misrepre- senting the Commissioner's finding, was used as a political smokescreen and was obviously pre- pared for this one purpose. If it did not come from the Government or from the National Lib- eral Association, where could it have originated?

Sober, sane people everywhere are wonder- ing what sort 0f Minister of Defence we have in Mr. Ian Mackenzie who let his tongue and temper run riot in the House of Commons the other day.

Due to the flag over the public buildings bc- ing hoisted half staff yesterday, the alarming rumor spread throughout the City that the genial Provincial Minister of Agriculture had “passed in his checks"_ Fortunately the rumor was unfounded. It turned out that the Presi- dent of the Council, Hon. B. W. LePage, had suddenly awakened to the fact that His Holiness the Pope had died two days ago, and gave in- structions to signify the fact officially.

Of the United Kingdom’s 47, ,ooo in- habitants, there were 95,750 persons who in 1937 paid taxes on incomes exceeding $10,000 a year, according to the latest official statistics for the year 1913 and the years 1924 to i937, just published. The 1937 figure is higher than in 1924, though fewer people had more than $500,000 a year. In 1924 there were 133 in- comes over the $500,000 figure; in 1937 only eighty. Peak year for high incomes was 1929- 30, when 108,891 persons had over $10,000 a year. Then 141 had more than $500,000. Over the years 1924-37 the incomes up to $25,000 be- came more numerous, those over $25,000 less numerous. i i i i

So perfectly had a ten-year-old boy forged a doctor’s handwriting ~0n a medical certificate by adding the words "extra eggs and milk for twenty months," that Magistrate Frank Powell, in the court at Greenwich, near London, was in- credulous. He called the boy, Raymond Herd, up to the bench, gave him a pen and asked him to copy a sentence from the certificate. “It is

"No one could produce a more accurate copy." Asked why he had added to the certificate, Ray- mond replied: "I was playing at doctors.” His mother, Mrs. Nellie Herd, had been summoned for pretending she held a recommendation from the Public Assistance doctor for extra nourish- ment. She explained that she did not know the boy had added the words complained of. Dis- missing the case, Mr. Powell said: “Your son is a most remarkable child with special gifts, but you must bear in mind that such gifts can be put to a criminal use." '

This was his famous appendicitis diagnosis: “First there is pain in the abdomen, sudden and severe, followed by nausea and vomiting, most commonly between three and four hours after the onset of pain. Then there comes a gener- alized abdominal sensitiveness most marked on the right side and more particularly over the appendix; next there is an elevation of tem- perature, beginning from two to twenty-four hours after the onset of pain. The symptoms occur almost without exception in the above or-

tion the diagnosis. If nausea and_ vomiting or temperature precede the pain I feel certain the case is not one of appendicitis.”

The two chief causes of hesitation in the re- vival of trade are both political. At home the investor continues in general to lack the con- fidence as to the possibility of a return on his investment that would lead him to finance new projects or expand existing ones. Investment activity is a vital key to domestic recovery. Its continued stagnation is to a certain extent of course beyond human control. It is in part the result of high taxes that are the inevitable fruit of the depression and the measures taken to combat it. But it also appears to reflect a skep- ticism as to the ‘soundness of some of the Gov- ernment's economic policies. Tjie other political factor is the fear of s European war.

We were taught as students that when catarrh developed Plat the moist or mucous stage and finally reached the ‘dry’ stage. there was nothing much could be done to stimulate the lining or mucous membrane of the nose into renewed life. As this dry form often gives a ‘vacant’ appearance toghefaee and ls accom ‘ y a bad brestzti, many of these pat- ients develop an lnferiofty com- plex. While the use o certain solutloiu and oils gives temporary relief, most. forms of treatment have been unsuccessful.

A coupleof years ago I spoke of a ent oi.\'lned

form of treatm by Dr. C. K. Gale. New York City, in ‘Archives of Physical Therapy, Xray. Radium’, Chicago.

Dr. Gale's method for the treas- ment of ozens—4.lie dry form of catarrh-consists of the direct ap- plication of heat to a large sur- face of the lining or inucousgmem- brane of the nose for prolonged periods. Into the right. nostril a rubber applicator of special design ls laced which has been filled wi barium so that it can be seen by the use of the Xray. It extends the entire length of the nose to the back of the throat and upward beyond the level of the middle of the three turblnate bones. When this rubber bag or tube is blown up it. touches the middle and outer wall of the nose. "If instead of barium the appli- cator is filled with a heated solu- tion, a heat effect by direct con- tact over the whole surface touch- ed by the bag will be obtained. Suction 1s first applied which col- lapses the rubber with tne “ ‘ " solution.
