Tlfiflfi.‘ WITII RUSSIA

The Calgary Alhcrtnn says that Canndalfor trading purposes, can- not intelligently ignore Russia with its 130,000,000 people, and con- tlnues: "For this reason, those who expressed violent and hasty con- iicmnalion of trade with Russia- and among them are a number of the most prominent people in this country-were ill-advicod indeed. It ls not, good policy to condemn the Inevitable."

,‘ intelligent business man or news- paper in this countr)’ cimdemm

condemn is trade on a preferential

basis, or on Government security.

1t is well known that the Soviet l Government repudiated payment of i all indebtedness to sovemmentt

and traders with Russia prior to , the Revolution. It. disowned re- , sponsibllity and for that reason no i civilized government at the present ‘ time has tmderfaken to resume diplomatic relations with Russia for ' the purpose of reopening inter- tional trade channcis. lt is true Germany has made a provi- sional deal with the Soviets for certain purposes, and if- is also true that China has entered into semi- . diplomatic relations with a view to defensive arrangements; but recog- nition of the Soviet Government l as a whole, for diplomatic or trad- ing purposes, has not been assent- ed to. >

There ls nothing; however, to prevent.“ any Canadian trading with Russia. There is at the present time free scope for any business house in Canada to accept orders or give orders to Russian firms for lIiYthing, with the exception that by order-in-council the importa- livn of coal, wood pulp, pulpwogd, lumber, timber, asbestos and furs is prohibited. Outside of these spe- cified articles there is nothing to prevent trade between this ‘coun- try and Russia.

Of course, diplomatic relations being broken off, there is nomeans of insisting upon payments, as, {he Russian Government not being re. fiognlled by the Canadian or any other Government, the usual diplo- matic channels cannot be resorted to for guaranteeing and collecting payments.

It was the Mackenzie King Gov- eminent that broke off these dip- lomatic arrangements in ma, and 5° Tefienill’ 88 October last Mr. Mackenzie King in the House of Commons stated that the nego. tlattons related only to certain diplomatic privileges which had previously been granted exclusively to Russia.

Th1! b91118 the case there is no excuse for any agitation at the present time to get the Govenb mam i0 Permit trade deals between m“ cmmiil’? and Russia. These are matters permissible and legal now, save and 9x¢ei>t transactions in the articles specified. It is surprising however how many people are un. d" the imliression that the King Government's action in 1928 strict. . iv prohibited inter-trade Wm, Russia and are blaming the Ben. nett Government for not rescind-i 1H8 what actually never nus put into effect.

CALGARPS FAILURE

i

N0‘ thinking person 1n ma“. Says the Monetary Times, will for a 1111mm? believe that the responsibil- ity for Calgary's failure to meet 1L; “aiming debniures m New York funds on January 2, rests on Ilrc. micr Bennett or the Dominion gov- crnment. The Prime Minmfcr owns Cflitwrv as his adopted home town 3nd Tflllfewnts that constituency in the House of Commons but it can- not for a minute be said that be. cause oi these facts either the Premier or the Dominion govern- ment were responsible. The Domin- ion government has assisted ccrtan of the provinces to meet its Obliga- tions during the past fifteen months but the task would be endless it’ it undertook to help out the various muncipalities that "have " issues maturing there or bond interest coming due. Nor would it be fair, as it would appear from all the evid- ence available that Calgary is Just as able to pay as (fiber western cities that have paid similar obliga- tions durum the year.

RHEUMATISM, CAUSES AND TREATMENT v

“Rheumatism, or arthritis as it 15 now called, is the oldest disease on record and is the cause of more ill- nessfor which a pension is paid than any other condition except the heart and biooclvessel diseases q; old age." i

Agroup oi 200 physicians inter- ested in rheumatism met in New Orleans last year for the single pur- pose of trying to learn from one another who; each had discovered in his investigation and treatment of rheumatism. _ ,

some points stand out. Dr. John H. Musser, New Orleans, stated that since he had been in New Orleans he had seen practically no eases o! arthritis in contrast to his exper- ience in Philadelphia where 50 per cent, that. is one half,‘ of patients in hospital wards had arthritis. In other words climate is a factor causing rheumatism. ,

Another point definitely proven is that the diet, the food eaten, ls l. big factor in causing rheumatism. Meat is not at fault; starches are really most to blame.

Other causes are infections from teeth, tonsils, intestine and gall bladder; injuries such as back strain; constipation; overweight.

Just as there are many causes so are there many forms of treatment —vaccines; climatic-hot dry clim- ate, such as is found in Arizona: colonic irrigation, that. is using enemas that completely fill the large intestine; gland treatment, particularly the use of extract of the thyroid gland in the neck; heat and electricity in various forms; surgery-cutting nerves supplying the painful part.

In addition to the special treat- ments above mentioned, trying by all means to improve the‘ general health of the patient. It is thought by many that some general condi- tion in the body, perhaps wrong diet, may cause teeth to decay and the infection thus lodged in the teeth causes arthritis. Sometimes the infected teeth are left in the mouth so long, so much damage is done before their removal that it is too late to prevent severe arthritis.

These points from the discussions of 200 physicians interested in rheumatism should be of great help in fighting this old, old ailment.

De Pachmann

(Winnipeg Free Press)

If de Pachmann had been a poor, frlendless, uneducated and untal- ented man he would have been locked away in a mental home many years ago. But he happened to be a genius.

He was no lunatic. But he was so erratTc that he spent his days- and they were great and happy days—iu that wide No Man's Land which stretches from complete san- ity down into the shadows. And he played the piano, and cspecially Chopin, with such magnificence that long ago the critics stopped appraisal of his playing and merely recorded the fact that de Pach- mann, last night, had played Chopin as no man had ever done before.

Often, to the terror of his manag- ers he refused to enter the concert hall. He was not in the mood. He had hurt his hand. I-Ie had indiges- tion. Any one of a thousand excus- es. Sometimes they would literally

drag him to the hall. Sometimes

they would fall, ‘and to their dis- gust he would stay at home happily playing to himself.

When he did appear there were often a. hundred Objections. Hc would demand the removal of fur-c- body in the front row because he did not like his face. He would de- mand that all lights in the hall be switched ofl‘, and the evening would be spent in darkness with his haunt- ing music sweeping out through the gloom to his audience. On other occasions he would sit playing at his piano and chatting intermin- ably with his audience. He did all this until he was over eighty years old.

Dc Pachmann is dead 110w, and the pundits who know no better will be finding him his place in the ranks of the greatest pianists. But those who heard him will he satis- fied t0 know that they have listen.

In The Rocket Age

(Sydney Post)

Orosa the Atlantic in thirty min- utes? Professor Auguste P1006"- believes it may be possible-not b7 ship or plane but in a rocket. He has invented a rocket that he ii- gilres should go 185 miles a minute. rt could be designed w fly the ocean with passengers or mails-He knows geven other scientists in lim- rope who are experimenting with rockets. The next era may b9 M! age of rockets. The present genera- tion may live to see the sky full 01 whlzzlng projectiles. Such a possi- bility does not seem foo fantastic when Professor Piocard thinks about it, for he is the man who started for the stratosphere and go there. It is his theory that the air at high altitudes is an ideal speedway for rocket flights and that any speed up to WM miles a second should be simple- after the mechanical details have been worked out.

The New York Bun paints a vt- vid picture of what may happen should Professor Piccard’: exnwtl- tion be realized.

The first daredevil to pilot a rocket from Battery Park, New York, to the Rue do 1a Paix in half an. hour will become the!‘ Bleriot; after him may coma the deluge. New Yorkem will take I stratosphere express to a luncheon in Iondon. They will go to theatre! in Mexico Cirty or Montreal after dinner. Busines mm and women will commute in rockets from the wilds or Inng Island or New Jer- sey to Wall Street in less time than can now telephone acrom the dis- tance. The rocket stations, local and express, will be in the tips of skyscraper towers.

The habit of spending winters in the South will become lets; instead those who can afford it will swim, play and. sleep in Miami or 1.0a Angeles any day of the year and attend matlnees and afternoon receptions in Manhat- tan. The summer tour or Europe will require only twenty-four hours of travelling, split into tut-minute hops from point to point on the Continent. The air will be screech- ing with projectiles carrying loads of merchandise, love letters and holiday greetings.

Ordinary aviation will be a haz- ardous business in an era. of rock- ets. Show the world that a steel tube with a gpeed of three miles a second is a workable conveyance. and some bright fellow will find a way to make them for the public at $250 or less. 111cm will be no tire trouble, but the rooketeers will learn to beware of punctured parachutes. Vilhen the stratos- phere is crowded with missile, that can outstrip the wind, when rock- ets leap aioiit from the ground or swoop to the roofs‘ of the city, anything as close to the earth a8 an ordinary airplane will find it- self in a shower of vertical traffic. A dirigible will have no more chance than. a. soap bubble in a halutorm. Traffic problems will be Slightly different in the stratos- phere from those on the ground: it W111 be easy enough u» keep moving, but what driver or a rocket some a hundred miles a minute will stop on a red light.

which this or any other generation has ever been privileged to hear. He played in Winnipeg some years ago. Few of his audienie knew that he had spent hours that afternoon nil-vine. disc-reruns. exhortins. scolding lecturing in a mall part? of people who had been asked to have tea. with him; and that hi5 manager had the greatest difficulty in persuading him to play again at night.
