Conservative Victory

i

Yesterdays closely contested by-election iii the First District of King's resulted in a. vic- tory for Mr. john .\lacLe:iu, the Conservative catididzite, by a iiizijtirity of 1 over his Liberal Dpponciit, l\lr. liickhziui.

This as xtgaiiist a majority of 76 for the Liberal candidate in the provincial general elec- iioii last .\l£l_\'.

The result, in view of the efforts put forth by the Canipbt-ll (ioveriiiiicut to retain the seat. i; highly siginiic .11: of the turnover iii public upiiiion. lt iiicrtiis that the electors are waking up after the snap verdict obtained from thein hist spring. 'l‘li_e_v are proliiiig into the Govern- ment's record, and iiiitling it anything but sat- isfactory. llcllft‘ their refusal to iiidorse the verdict given nine months ago.

Both l'retiiier Campbell and Hon. Dr. blac- lllillaii, the Conscri'zitive leader, addressed the only public meeting held during the campaigin, It Sourls, The impression made at that meet- ing (which tli: (ioveriiineiit organ claimed to have been szrtiiit-Iv Liberal) is best judged by the election ri-ttirn». .\lr. .\l:icl..eai1 increased his vole iii Souris from 159 last May to 167 yes- terday‘, the Liberal vote declining from 92 to S7.

Mr. Illllflfilll is to be warmly congratulated on his campaign, which was fought against what at first were regarded as overivlicliiiiiig odds in view of the recent Liberal victorv, the SLlfl.lf‘llll<'~‘S with which the contest was sprung, and the tactics used zigainst him. There is no doubt that he will make an excellent representa- tive and member of an Opposition which, though few iii numbers, will have a vitallv i111- portxtiit part to play when the Legislature lllCClS.

The Balkan Problem

Rumanizfs zisstirziiice to the Allies that it will not increase its oil shipments to Germany and that it iritciids to retain the ties linking lt to France and tireat Britain is reassuring news. The fact remains, however, that Runiatiia is iii a precarious position, and that Nazi pressure may agaiiyforce a change of policy upon King Carol.

l-ltiiiiztiiiai was an Anglo-French ally in the last ivttr, ivas oier-rtiii by Germany and received as its reward at the Peace Conference a. large part of the territories 0f Hungary (Trau- .\_\'l\‘."tllilll the Dohrtidja on its southeastern corner from the beaten Bulgaria, and Bess- arahia in the northwest, taken from Russia which was then iii the first grip of the Bol- shevist revolution. Not one of these three coun- tries lias abandoned its claims to the lost terri- tory, and, in addition, Rtimania holds the most valuable source of oil iii Europe outside Rus- sia, the commodity which, above all, Germany lacks.

Rumauia called a conference last week of her Balkin neighbors, jugoslavia, Turltey and Greece, and it was folloiviiig this conference that she is rcportcd to have informed the Allies that the (piota of approximately 130,000 tons of oil a month, established under the German- Rumatiiau trade accord, will not be exceeded. There were reasons for apprehensions to the contrary as a result of the establishment of government control over Romanian petroleum production, including British oil company pos- sessions.

The chief concern of France and Britain, apart from the Rumaiiian nil question, is to keep the war from spreading into the Mediterranean, where a joint Russo-German advance would have serious complications.

Favorable Business Report

In its current business summary the Bank of Montreal cites many evidences to show that fears regarding the dislocation of Canada’s ex- port trade by the war have so far been unjusti- fied. Domestic exports in December, at $101,- 021,000, were nearly 47 per cent higher than in December, 1938, and about $4,000,000 higher than in November, 1939. For the four months elapsed siiicc the tiutbrcalc of war, the value of Canada's fltllllf'\'llt.‘ expoi'ts,$370,078.000 was act- ually 1,..-| per cent higher than the figure for the parallel period of 1938. Business in general, als'o, has shoivn expansion, its physical volume in the last quarter of 103i) reaching a higher point than at any tiiiic since the early part of I929. The npiiiiiiig weeks of 1940 have found the activity in both export and domestic fields well niaiiitziiiied. In rural districts, and parti- cularly iii the \\'cst, stnrekeepers arc finding litisiness stibstztiitially better than last winter as the result of an increase of nearly l0 per cent in rural purchasing power.

December Federal revenues were by far the best in the second half of 1939, namely, $44,081,- 401. which represented an increase of more than $7,500,000 river the figure for December, 1938 -$3(i..i13.477 —— but expenditures, swollen by war commitments, were tip t0 $50,032,559 as compared irith $31,427,186 in December, 1938. For the first three-quarters of the current fiscal vear. ended December 3f, the aggregate revenues totalh-rl $3of<_7g4,671 as compared with $394,- 821,727; while xpemlitures totalled $472401.- 732 .1: eoinpriretl vitli $_‘~lf'i6.t)23.225. .

ing increases varying from 5% ‘to 50% over the previous year. Woods operations have pro- gressed favourably, the season's cut being esti- mated at approximately 50% over last year's. Improvement in demand for lumber and pulp- wood is in evidence. Uiifavourable weather has interfered with fishing operations and catches during December were poor. Fresh and dried fish have been iii fair demand. Spring mackerel has moved iii steady volume, but the lobster mar- ket remains dull. Priccs have been steady. Fox pelts have been in good demand but prices are unsatisfactory. General industrial activity shows a gain over last year. Coal raised in Nova Sco- tia during December totalled 485,043 tons com- pared with 312,439 tons in 1938. The potato market has shmvii little activity; growers are holding for better prices. Shipment of fresh apples continues sloiv, with prices satisfactory.

Before long there will be so many cures for certain forms of insanity that the medical ad- viser will be at a loss ivliich to choose. Use of electric shock treatment for mentally sick pati- ciits is the latest to be announced to the medical world by Dr. Lothar Kalinowsky, of Rome, through a report to the London medical journal Lancet. The treatment is like the now widely used insulin and mctrazol shock treatments. In- stead of injecting either of these shock-induc- ing drugs, an electric current is passed through the patient's head to induce the fits, or convul- sions, which restorc the patient to sanity, for a time at least. The electric shock treatment is said to be much easier on the patient, and also on the nurses and attendants, than the metfazo] or cardiazol shock treatments. Nor is there any danger from the amount of current used to in- duce the fits. Electrodes are put on both sides of the patients forehead, animal studies having shown that the temples are the best place for the treatment. Currents of seventy to I10 volts and 300 to 600 iiiilliamperes are generally need- ed to produce fits. The shock is given for one- tcnth of a second.

In all the discussion of the abrogation or the trade treaty between the United States and Ja- pan one fact ln the general sltua- tlon seems to be overlooked. That. ls the salient fact. that Japan has made very llttle progres tn China ln the last. few months. In fact ln several areas the Chinese armlcs have given the Japanese quite more than they have been able to hancllz. On the diplomatic front Japan has made few galns, all of which could easlly be offset, by adverse actlo-i on the part of the United States hi the matter of trade. All the threats of Japanese mllltarlsts have llttle effect tn China, and less effect when they are directed at. the Unlted States. — Boston Post.
