Highlanders have reason to be proud of the fact that Australia considers a man who does not speak Gaelic to be an illiterate. Dir. Egon Erwin Kisch, radical lecturer from Czechoslovakia wanted to tour Australia. But the Govern- ment withheld lts approval, and the only means of preventing his “ad- mission to the country was on the score of illiteracy. Unfortunately for them Dr. Kisch knew all the languages submitted to him as a test, till some om suggested Gaelic. That floored him.

The Ides of March may easily be taken to cover the period of from Mlrchlo to 20.

There h a story told of Sir Mat- thew Bcgbie, ‘first chief justice of British Columbia, which, after nearly ‘f5 years. seems to have an application to assessment problems in Vancouver. The story is that a farmer in the Kamloops area. died and left his farm to his two sons. After a time the sons fell out. They could not operate the farm together and decided that it should be d.iv- ided. But they could not agree as to the division, and the Chief Jus- tice, who had something to do with pretty nearly all the legal jobs in the colony, was called H9011 to wt as arbiter.

It hardly required the assurame of Sir Francis Floud that notwith- standing recent extensive develoP- merit of agriculture in the old country, Britain will still need our wheat. Speaking to the women's Canadian Club in Toronto, Sir Francis said that some seemed to feel that tho development oi agri- culture in Great Britain is danger- ous to Canada, but I can assure you that, as far as wheat is con- oemed, Britain will depend mainly for its supply on overseas countries, such as Canada, which can produce it so much more cheaply than we can in ours, where we are at the present time producing only 23 per cent of our bread supply from our own soil."

p, Mr. McKenzieb Proposals

(Ottawa Journal)

Having become nervous watching Ttome burn while his leader yawned, lancouverh m. Ian Mackenzie ct up in the House on Monday and noved a want-of-confidenoe motion 11811180 tho Government. Mr. King aadsaidhe didn't want to talk about anything but reform, and ‘lttie about that, so anxious was he ,0 get on with it, but Mr. Mac- ‘zenzle, who thinks he carries a field narshaPs baton ln his hip pocket, lbowed Mr. King out of the way,’ marched right into battle on his

own.

What did he march with? Well,

so far as we can discover, with IIOIIIIIIQIIICN than the bald state- ment that tbele was a lot of un-

mployment in the country and hat the Government was doing ‘iothing about it. Which wasn't very effective. While Mr. Mackenzie was launching his rhetorical barrage, an official statement was being issued showing that last year, while most ~i the rest oi the world was re- aecovering but slowly, or not re- covering at all, Canada was in- creasing her trade with the Envplrc by 24 percent, her trade with foreign countries 20.9 perccntThat must have helped employment. This country can't increase its exports to Empire countries by $31,000,000 without a lot of the 31 millions going into workmanb pay en- velopes: there must have been busier factories and farms and a lot more purchasing power. And so with the gain to foreign countries. In other words, the Ottawa agree- ments wlth other countries made by the present Government, did help employment, If Mr. Mac- kenzie has any doubts about the matter, let him ask Canadian pro- ducers. Let him ask some of our live stock men. or some of our fruit growers. or some of our mine oper- ators. They will not hesitate about

telling him.

‘ What did Mr. Mackenzie himself propose? The answer is that Mr. Mackenzie proposed nothing. Not a thing. He spoke, of course, about "high tariffs, quotas and emlbar- goes"; but we seem to remember that‘ in a recent speech in New York Mr. Mackenzleb colleague Col. Balaton, didn't hold out much hope o1 anything substantial being done about tariffs if or when Col. Ralstonb and Mr. Mackenzws party took office. Bo not much hope there.
