TUESDAY. APRIL 3. 1935.

smmnvfs DEFENCE

The British air estimates for 1935 show the first effects of the 6°"- ernmenifs decision to expand the Royal Air Force to a nilmflim-l strength more will)‘ wmmmm" do. with that of the air forces o! other powers. At 223,851,000 the gums total is higher by £3,686,000 than in ‘iiii: the increase in the net total, M, 220,650,000 is £3,089,000.

In outlining general policy the Air Minister recalled that in his memorandum accompanyin! the i934 estimates, the Government made plain that it could not. in the interests of national and imperial aecurity, accept a position of con- tinuing inferiority in the air. "Ac- gm-dingly,” he continued, “last Summer, having regard t0 the rBPid development of foreign all‘ I°T°°S and the failure to date of the Dis- armament Conference to llffldilce concrete results, they iilii: Govern- ment) reached the reluctant decis- ion that there was no option but to put in hand the long-delayed expansion of the Royal Air Force; and a programme to this end was announced to Parliament in July. This provides for the addition of a

of 193B, and, on its completion, the total first-line strength of RAF. in regular squadrons will be approximately 1,330 aircraft. In ad- dition, there will be some 130 alr- eraft in non-regular squadrons."

Eleven new squadrons will be molded to the home defence force in 1935, bringing its aquadrons of which 41 will beregular cqusdrons and the remainder will be auxiliary air force or cadre (spe- cial reserve) squadrons. The fleet air arm will be increased by l9 first- line aircraft, a figure which i5 as- tonishingly small and will do little to place the British navy on a. level with tho strength in aircraft poss- essed by the United States navy. In all, tho 1935 additions will raise the total strength of the Royal Air Force, including the fleet air arm, to the equivalent of 106% squad- rOllS—93"}: regular squadrons and the 13 non-regular squadrons of the home defence force.

MR. KING'S WEAKNESS

Hon. W. L. M. King has good qualities, but he has one defect which has often exasperated Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett and Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen. He is so academic and so impractical, gays the Tor- onto Mail and Empire. Hon. R. B. Hanson put his finger on this dc-

foot ii a sentence which need not ,

be completed, "If the Honorable Gentleman were a practical bus- jneps man, which he is not-f‘ Never having had the advantage of conducting a. business of his own. he is unversed in the art of doinfl fittings, He has said things that appear in Hansarcl and the press; he has written things that appear in s. book, but he has no aptitude {or executive action and the prac- tical affairs of business. Ho wishes to confine issues within the realm of discussion. His favorite protest in Parliament is that the Govern- ment is endeavoring to restrict de- bate. He is jealous of free and full discuss‘ t and regards any curb upon it as a breach of parliamen- tary privilege. He is happy in dis- cussion and deliberation, but girds at decision and action. If his views on industry and humanity remain- ed sealed in a book during nine years in which he could have trans- lated them into legislation it is due to that defect and that dcfcct is due to lack of business training and experience. Ho is particularly un- fitted to govern Canada. in such a period of economic and business problems as the last four years.

U. S. COMMENT

‘The report that John Buchan m0? be the next Governor-General of Canada," says the New York Sun. is good news to all literate conserva- tives living on this side of the At-

lantic, who will hope that the proph- ecy may come true. Those on this

side of the border will b; glad to have next door in the person of the new Governor-General a man who has won their respect by substantial achievements in life and letters and who hasgiveh evidence or a armba- thetic understanding of American ‘ways of thought. when he "was here 1m December who“ "w “nib”- toi-y iddress n the oaenina of m new library,“ Columbia University i“ ‘Q’; t0 say tllflb I10 hid always looked upon this country l! his second father-lino.

THE CHARLOTTETO

y/awm W. Mn.

THE HEAR-T MAY BE WITHOUT DANGER I0 JJIE

1f your Jiysician tells you that your heart is slightly enlarged it is only natural that you should wou- der about it and. perhaps worry about it.

The heart enlarges because it is doing more work than usual, either due to working, and exercising or because there may be some obstruc- tlon to the blood flow somewhere in the body, the kidneys for example.

Now a heart that increases in size from hard work or exorcise is usu- ally a strong, slow heart. 1t has been culledon to do extra work reg- ularly and it increases in size up to a certain point.

However a heart that increases in size due to the blood vessels not having enough elastic tissue to open widely when blood is pumped through them, gradually loses some of its power despite its increase in size. It becomes larger on the left side because this is the part of the heart thiit has to pump the blood to all parts of the body-to the very farthest points, the hands and feet, whereas the right side of the heart liiis to pump the blood to the lungs only.

Now the heart may be gradually enlarging for years without the in- dividual realizing it as there may be no syfinptoms whatever. Should he flnd himself getting out of breath casily_ and decide to take things more» easily, the enlargement may increase very slowly and no symp- toms occur.

The natural question is, just how much larger a heart can become be- fore there is real danger. Your doc- tor will tell you that if the blood pressure is not too hhh and no com- plications are present the heart may actually increase to half as much or even to twice its natural sire and tho body is able to do the usual amount of work safely

The average weight of the normal heart in man is about nine and one- half ounces and of a. woman about eight to eight and one-half oimcos. In some cases of heart ailments the weight may go up to sixteen ounces —one pound. and in some very bad cuscs the weight of the heart may L." nearly two pounds.

You can thus see that enlarge- ment of the heart need not be a-ny cause for worry; in fact, worry may increase the blood pressure and act- ually further enlarge the heart.

The Potato Problem

(Moricton Times)

An article published in The Times a fe-w days ago suggests a. possible solution of the potato problem not only in New Bruns- wick, but in other provinces of the Dominion. In the past the principal effort with regard to potatoes has been along the line of finding a market for the sur- plus stock in this province. Acces- sible profitable markets are not so easy to find in these days as some yiears ago, hence attention has been turned quite recently to some possibilities in connection with the use of potatoes for indus- trial purposes. It is contended that all Canada's sulplus potatoes can bc profitably used in the manufacture of starch and starch products. Last year Canada im- ported all starch, starch products rind the material to make them, which if it had been supplied from potatoes, as is done in some the Eruropeian countries, would have required eleven million bush- els of tubers. This is rather

their value, they cannot begin t0 compare, as o medium of publicity. with the newspaper advertisement. As we have p0lllt€d out on otbnr occasions, advertising of all kinds attracts some readers. but all road ers see newspaper announcements,

Buffalo's two big airplane fac- tories, the Cuiftiss Aeroplane and Motor Company and the Consolid- ated Aircraft Corporation, hold United States army and navy ord- ers for 185 planes worth almost $5,000,000-—enough to keep them busy at capacity production for more than a. year.

The language of pessimistic ex- aggeration is symptomatic of the mental unmst that prevails. Men talk of the world being “on the edge of an abyss," of a "great crisis being faced." of mankind having reached "the parting of the ways." ‘Phat is all poppycock, because it betokcns ignorance of human his- tory. The greater the dimculties are, the greater should be the cour- age with which they are faced.

Ono of our form- er Prime Ministers once said that the ideal Governor General was’ the man who had exporianoo in lb" House of Commons; it gave him a more. precise understanding of the difficulties and constitutional im- plications of his omce. John Buchari has been a member of the British House of Commons since i921, for!!!‘ seriting the Scottish Universities. In addition. he has had experience as private secretary to Lord Milner. when the 1 tter was High Commis- sioner w uth Africa; and was Director of Iniomiation under

1917-18.

Private advices from Iondon in- dlcate a belief in some quarters that a seeming haste in seleotins Lord Bessboroughks successor reveals possible trouble between the Gov- emor General and the Government. Wiw. it is asked-why is Lord Bessborough not completing his term? The Journal thinks it can say, and upon fairly good author- ity, that there is no trouble what- ever between the clover-nor General and the Government. All that has happened, apparently, is that lord Bessborough is anxious, for personal and private reasons, to return to England as soon as psosible. In the circumstances, and seeing that an election in August or September is not improbable. this making it dif- ficult for the Prime Minister to make an after- recommend- ation to the King before Lord Bess- borouJ-‘s term expires (in Septem- ber). it was probably thought de- sirable to have the matter settled now.

That Mr. Mackenzie King has been consulted in the matter, seems entirely likely. With an election pending it is scarcely probable that Mr. Bennett would take it upon himself at this time to recommend 1on1. Bessboroughs successor, this even though in doing so he would be within his legal and constitu- tional rights. Moreover, the selec- tion of Huchan, a personal friend of Mr. King's, is in itself an indi- cation thiit the Opposition Leader has been consulted.
