NIW ZIALAND BUTTER. . ._..-_-

We have now come to the W111i where we can see the effect of the imputation of New Zeaiand and Auatalisn butter upon the price of u” flgnlgflfll product. Tbs New lealand butter is being retailed in Charlottetown at present at one cent a pound less than our own product, Ihll may be regarded as the thin edge of the wedge, and the difference In prices will no doubt become great- e as the opportunity arises in dispose 5f j ‘we; importatinns. The New Inland butter is out up m. flat two round prints rwmblins prince Edward Island ereamery but- tor. Retailing at the present price ieavaanlargermarglnofprofltfn an has, and the iiupome product

lad other points at much less cost lhnn is required to manufacture Ca- nadian batten.

During the past few weeks the hewppaporl have reported the land- Ipg in Halifax oi several cargoes of New Iceland butter, totalling five gm! g half million pounds. These, fliipraents are now being distributed inong the retailers oi the Maritime ‘ fruvinees. As predicted in ‘The ‘Guardian at the outset. this foreign Qppcrtatien must necessarily displace Is equal quantity of Canadian but- in on the home market. with the -hsvitable result that the latter is ‘hiked to look elsewhere for a mar- t“. and be content with a lower In a statement last November on lie dairying industry, Dr. .7. A. Rud- dick, Commissioner of the Dairy and Cold Storage Branch of the Domin- ion Department oi Agriculture, point- ed out that Canadian butter prices ranged ‘about three cents higher uian the world prices: "This," he laid. "is because approximately the "entire production is being sold in flsis country.” Dr. Ruddick, perhaps f piaeiy, refrained from commenting i _ upon the probable effect of adding some millions of pounds of cheap New Zealand butter to our Canadian production. ' Liberal politicians have stoutly maintained that the importation oi New Zeaiand butter would not ad- versely affect the price of the Cana- dian product. They reasoned from the standpoint of the trade treaty negotiated by the King Government which permits the entry of the im- ported article under a duty of one cent per pound. The farmers of Can- ada will be more likely to take the view of the National Dairy Council, which has protested from the begin- ning against the dumping of Austral- ian and New Zealand butter into this country. - The time. it is hoped, is not far distant when politicians of whatever stripe will be obliged to view Gov- Irrlment policies and Government ac- tions from the standpoint of the country's interests. rather than from their own.

least. They furnish no suave-nits for the future. Had the Railwly l“- thorities acted upon their own initia- tive at the outset instead of yleldins to sectional pressure, the Province would have been spared the anxiety endured since the first announcement of the accident. the Georgetown-Pic- tou route would have been inaugur ated, and the damaged steamer would have been sent to Halifax for repairs which are imperative.

As emphasized by n business man in an interview published in yester- day's Guardian, the time in eflect repairs to the ear ferry is before the busy ' season, and before ‘he heavy drift ice sets in. With the Montcalm on the Georgetown-Piston route. as at first decided by the Rail- way, and with an additional steamer to handle freighii. the car ferry could be released and sent to drydock, so that she could take up with certain- ty the heavy movement of potatoes which we are sure to have in March and April, and which the other ships could not deal with at all. By leaving these two vessels on the eastern route. they would be able to take care of the situation for the next four or five weeks, if necessary. The uncer- tainty of the present situation, whereby embargoes are continually being put on and taken of! freight movements. makes it impossible for shippers to do business in the cir- cumstances, particularly l! they deal in perishable goods.

The folly of placing the Stanley, with her 600 h. p. engines in do work that has been done with great diffi- culty by the car ferry with her 6,000 h. p. engines, is so evident as to need no further comment. 'If the failure oi the Stanley to reach Tormentine was the cause oi the car ferry los- ing her turn on the dry dock, as is evidently the case, then the respon- sibility still rests upon the Govern- ment of providing other means for relief. To keep the. ca: ferry in her crippled condition pounding through heavy ice is certainly neither prudent _nor business dike. The course now being pursued may result in perman- ent injury to the stecruor, in which case the Province will have good cause to regret the political inteh ference which has brought about the present situation.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

An English exchange puts the fol- lowing Questions and Answers:-

QUESTION-Supposing the Lea- gue oi Nations had attempted for- cibly to interfere in the armed dis- pute between Bolivia and Paraguay, what would the United States have said? ANSWER-This is a most important point because the Monroe Doctrine is still a formidable instru- ment oi policy. As originally enun- ciated by President Monroe 105 years _ago, the Doctrine was a notice to all the world that any European Power attempting to colonise South Amar- ica or interfere in the affairs oi the Latin American countries was guilty oi an unfriendly act injurious to the interests of the United States, which she would be compelled to resist by force, if necessary. Q-Does this Doctrine hold good today? A.—It does; Mr. Coolidge rc- aillrmed it at the time oi the Nicar- aguan affair nearly a year ago. Q.—Do all the South American states subscribe to it still? A.-No; Argentina and Costa Rica, for ex- ample, are restive under the sug- gestion of a United States hegemony ever the whole oi Iatin America. Q-What is the precise meaning oi the Monroe Doctrine today‘! A. --lt means precisely what the Unit»

ed States decides it shall mean Ii. any given moment. '

somewhat ominous. The forward propeller oi the steamer was lost and the ship partially disabled on Janu- ary 15th, and at the time the accid-

ous to warrant immediate repairs in drydock. Since then. assisted by favorable weather, she has done splendid service despite her disabil- ity. But it is surely reasonable to suppose that the repairs are as badly needed today as they were a. week or ten days ago, and that every ef- fort should be made to effect these repairs as speedily as possible. A cold snap may set in at any time, and the safety oi the ship would be seriously jeopardized. As it is, she is under severe strain.

It ls idle to minimise the predica- ment in which this Province would find itself if the car feny should meet with further trouble in her pre- sent unsafe condition. The cost of repairs is oi course a matter for the Dominion Government: _but it is surely false economy to delay any longer the provisionof adequate transportation service which would relieve the car fenjy for immediate overhauling and repairs. Had the politicians kept their fingers out oi the matter, the Montcalm would now be on tbs Georgetown-Pictou route

in d-rydock a. weeklgo. As it is. the opportunity oi getting there for the ,. ' has evidently been let slip. Hence the notification that the car ferry may remain where she is "for some time yet."

During the King's illness a flood of old fashioned remedies have been Issdvll I Buckingham Palace, tit- ifying as much to the extraordinary sympathy manifested by people in the humblest walks of life as to the curious survival of mediaoval beliefs handed down from generation in generation in remote sections oi the British Isles. These cure-ails in- clude aromatic herbs. linseed mix- ture. toaidis blood-to be religiously stirred all the night-ring doves whose ‘fbreathing purifies the air"; chest pastes. and a whole drawer full of amulets.

Phills. phllires, and bottles pour in daily. Many oi the latter contain potions brewed from herbs described in ancient writings in the days when a doctor's duties mainly consisted of leaching and bleeding and their administration usually was surreptitious for fear the patientwould suspect witchcraft. So great has been the influx that a special staff has been assigned to the task of handling the hundreds oi parcels which continue to arrive at the Palace by every mail. and which are carefully stored away 1n a. special room; for to return them to the do- nors would hurt their feelings. They do things tactfully in the King's household.

Schoolboy “bowlers” often make amusing reading. A new series is published in ‘his University Correl- pondent, which awards an annual prize, for the best collection oi these unpolished gems. Among the latest offerings are the following: “Parlia- ment assembled in November and dissembled in December." “To col- lect the fumes of sulphur hold a deacon over the end oi the tube." "The chief work oi the British in Egypt since 1880 has been the exter- mination oi the sphinxes." “Sir Walter Scott was called the Bliz- zard of the North. He tried to reach the North Pole but died in the at- tempt" “A circle is a. line which meets its other end -““ ‘ ending." "The imperfect tense is used in French to express a. future action in pest time which does not take place at all." Asked to paraphrase Keats’ lines: "Heard melodim are sweet, but these unheard are sweeter," one student wrote: “It is nice to hear music but it is still nicer not to."

Objection to the modern method oi disseminating lite ‘ by means of book of the month clubs and kin- dred organizations is taken by Ed- ward Davison, an American poet cf some note, who addressed McGill students recently. While the selec- tion of these books is usually sound, Mr. Davison maintains that the sys- tem militaies against independent choice on the part of the reader, and results‘ in a literary dictatorship which creates “best sellers," sets lib- rary fashions, and makes book shops as uniform as the United Cigar Stores. The point, it seems to us, is well made. The pleasure oi dis-

B! lame: W. Burlon. MD. A NEW WOBD—DIATERMY

Whenever a new word arrives you are naturally anxious to know where it comes from and what it means. One of the new words is diathenny, a. form oi heat, which is taking its place in medicine and surgery. It comes from the two __ words dia through, and therm heat. which means a. "method oi treatment by the creation oi heat" within the hu- man body, instead of application of heat to the surface of the body. Diathermy is obtained from the high frequency current; just another of Natures‘ gifts to man.

Some weeks ago I spoke about Dr. Crile’s method oi heating the pa- ticntfis internal organs by this me- thod, before and during an operation, so as to keep these organs at the proper degree of temperature. ' Any considerable loss oi animal heat at this time may prove dangerous and the shock interfere with the patient's recovery. Now the use of this form of heat to the inside oi the body does not mean that the application of heat to the outside of the body will be discontinued in the days to come. As a matter of fact, the ap- plication of heat to the outside of

bildy

the blood itself, as when hot water bags, or other heating appliances are put about the outside of the body, over half of-the entire blood supply is immediately beneath the skin-at surface of the body.

With diathermy however the skin or surface is not affected, the heat being applied directly to the internal organs.

Thus in pneumonia or a broken bone that is knitting slowly, where you want more local aetion, diather- my increases the activity of the cells and quicker results are obtained. ‘This means less “drain" on the body's natural resources.

However where there are pm eon- ditions such as acute appendicitis, diathermy is not used as it might cause the infection to spread. Al- though diathermy is in its infancy there is no question but that in cap- able hands it will be one more meth- od of helping man to help himself.

Craigweli House near Bognor, Sus- sex, where His Majesty will be taken to recover his health, has its own moving picture palace, bail-room and a remarkably fine organ. It is one of the most wonderfully-equip- ped of any of the stately homes of England. Sir Arthur Du Cros spent thousands of pounds on the organ it'- self, which, by an electrical arrange- ment, can be heard in any room of the house by merely turning on a switch. ‘ There is a "sun room" for sleeping in the open.

The Prince oi Wales for the first time in all his life is now engaged in the business of the state as a. result of the King's illness and his appoint- ment by the latter to the Council of State, which has taken over the dut- ies of the sovereign.

In the few weeks since his return, the Prince, according to those who know him best, has changed greatly. His winning personality and the dis- position which won him thousands of friends and admirers are still there but there is also a new preoccupa- tion and thoughtiulnws in his man- ner. ' ' »

To his mother, Queen Mary. also a member of the State Council, his ad- vice and support have proved most valuable. Dwpite his youth and in- experience, palace and state officials say he is showing amazing aptitude and readinss in grasping intricate points and delicacies of policy and procedure. His brothers, especially Prince George, now lock to him for advice and guidance.

He is beginning to have personal experience of the truth of the re- mark that King George is the one man in England who hasn't had a day's holiday for thepast eighteen years-since he ascended the throne. Not a day passes but that at least one state document goes to the King- now to the Prince for consideration. Wherever he goes outside London he is followed daily by a chain oi offi- cial red despatch boxes carrying his work to him. This will be the fate of the Prince next week when he goes/to the royal estate. Sandring- ham, Norfolk, for a. week's shooting. Now every day piles of these boxes are taken from Buckingham Palace. the Prime Minister's office at No. 10 Downing street, and ,from the for- eign office. to York House for the Prince to deal with the contents.

l-low much the Prince's life is changed may be gauged from the fact that since his return, though he is one of the keenest riders to hounds in the whole country, he has found time only to attend a half dozen
