‘ Now that Mr. Thane A. Camp- bell has been promoted to the status of Provincial Idbersl leader “pm tem," his party supporters in the First District of Prince will untuvily expect that he will use his influence to promote those objectives which they, in re-nom- mating him as their candidate, outlined as of prime importance in a series of resolutions adopted at their convention. Among these ob- jectives, urged as policies which the Liberal party should support, were: Provision of free text books for needy pupils of ihe Province; more money to be expended on grsvelling the roads and less on permanent highways; reduction in legislative membnrs from 30 to l5; ten per cent cut in the salaries of all government omcials recelvingi over $1,800 per year; support of}

the movement for a potato bonus! ‘

on the 1934 acreage; reduction in whwl inspectors from 14 to c, with the same salaries.

None of these policies found place in the revised edition of the Lib- eral platform, adopted at the same meeting st which Mr. Campbell's temporary leadership was sanction- ed. Yet they were ihdorsed by resolution of the convention which re-nomlnated , .Mr. Campbell as candidate for the First District!‘

‘ WI: this done with Mr. Campbell's approval, ordid the convention take the bit in its own teeth, and ride roiluilshod over his views and opinions? In my case, they seem to have met with little considera- tion when the party stalwarts met ‘I! Charlottetown.

THOSE SALARY CUTS

IQ reference is made in the Lib- m; party platform to a reduction, on a lilding scale, of all salaries of lohool teachers and government om- cisls earning $500 and over. Yet this was the policy advocated by Mr. Lea and his colleagues in the Leg- islature in i933, and it is tluelr contention that financial‘ conditions have not materially improved since that time. It seems obvious, there- fore, that while the cut in teachers’ salaries k not specified in the party

. platform. it is being contemplated n n principle of policy. Qthcrwise, we must regard as altogether in- sincere Mr. Ian's advocacy of such salary reductions two years ago. It was the MacMillan Government's contention that there was nothing fair or equitable in further cur- tailing the comparatively meagre comings of our school teachers and elvil servants. But every Liberal membe voted against the Government on this question. Is there any reason to believe that if returned to power they would not promptly do what they endeavor- ed. unsuccessfully to do when in Opposition?

PLEASANT, BUT FIRM

While frankly warning the lead- ers ad the western relief camp strikers that Communism would not be tolerated, and that law and order would be maintained, Premier Bennett shovmd tact and good humor as well as firmness in deal- ing with the situation. One of the spokesmen for the strikers, accord- ing to an Ottawa exchange, opened his remarks with a tirade on exist- ing economic conditions. The Prime Minister, after pointing out that Canada has taken care of her un- employed as well as any country in the world, remarked that the complainant looked well dressed and had a. fountain pcu in his pocket. With a dramatic flourish the strike spokesman pulled the pen from his pocket and oficred to ‘trade it for Mr. Bennett's pen. “I do not happen to have one," he replied. The delegate then wanted to trade his coat, waistcoat or his pants, but Mr. Bennett pleasantly declined. "They would not fit," be laid.

EDITORIAL NOTES

This week is ladies Week, next week will be Young People's week.

According to Mr. Evans of the camp marchers, there is a marked distinction between “theft” and “fraudulent conversion." Unfortun- ately for the loser it ls a distinction without a difference.

The Liberal press has no explana- tion to offer for the suppression oi’ the words "on current account" in its party platform promising a. hal- anced budget. The only "logical ex- planatlosi is that it is a barefaced deception.

The bazaar in aid of the Char- lyattetown Hospital is proving a. big‘ attraction. It is a. long time since such a mammoth event has taken place here, and it seems to have made its appearance at the psycho- logical moment, when so many vis- itors from different parts of the Province as well as sll over the Dominion are in our midst.

Mussolini did not send airplanes across the Atlantic and then on to Africa, followed by men-of-war with thousands of troops, to have his plans of conquest set at nought by initial conversations with a British special ambassador at Rome. It will take mom than s mere preliminary exchange o: views to bring the Italian Premier to realize the error of his ways.

The growing interest in the visit o! Lord and Lady Baden-Powell is ewdenced by the requests to be sl- lowed to be present st the various functions. Apart from the great rally at the Exhibition grounds, the chief attraction will be the dinner in honour of the distinguished vis- itors on Friday, July 5, tickets for which are $1.25. and m which in- vitations will be issued.

Insult to injury ls added by tho Liberal organ in its attempt yestw- day to ioist upon the Conservative; responsibility for the expenditure! incurred in 1031. During eight months of that year the Lea Gov- ernment was in power and piled up an increased debt of over half a million dollars in a futile attempt to buy the voters with their own mon- cy.

In connection with the proposed assistance to dairymen on account of the fall in the price o! cheese, it is interesting ‘to note that in 191D the production of cheese in Canada was 199,004,205 pounds and in 1934 it had fallen to 99,754,500. In 1910 the production of czeamery butter was 64,489,398 pounds and in 1934 it had risen to 233,047,500.

The new housing bill which has had the support of all parties in Parliament should start a building boom. All the prospective house- owner has to provide is 20 per tent of the cost, the government will provide 20 per cent at 3 1-2 per cent, and loan or trust companies the remaining so per cent at an in- terest of 5 1-2 per cent, making a flat rate o! 5 per cent. A $0,000 house would cost the owner about $250 interest per annum.

Still another zrevlsed edition of the Liberal party platform! Our con- temporary yesterday gives another plank which was "inadvertently omitted" in itsihiesdayk issue, after attention had been called in The Guardian to the fact that it termed pert o! Mr. Lee's earlier announce-

ment of policy. But this adds noth-

Renders who f-equent the mov- ies, or are addicted to reading stories about American crime, d0 not need to have explained to them what hot money is. This is a. slang term that suggests its meaning oven to those who encounter it for the first time. The danger of touching it is implicit in the adjective. It is expccted to figure sensatlonally in the trial of _s. Denver iawyes, in whose possession wasfound some o! the $200,000 ransom paid for the release or Charles F. Urschell, the kidnapped Oklahoma oil magnate. The lawyer is charged with hav- ing taken the money from Albert Bates. one of the, convicted kid- nappers, knowing it to have been extorted from Urichell. The money was ta-azcd by the serial number o! the bills. It will be recalled that the number of bills which were paid to the Lindbergh kldnapper led to the arrest of l-Isuplmann and did much to speed him toward the electric chair. .

The astonishing case of "i6 three boys under l4 who robbed and killed in New York City is another problem in juvenile psychology. It might be dismissed as an exccp- tional occurrence, unlikely to be re- peated, but the circumstances de- mancl attention. Who or what is to blame for the mental and moral attitude o; these children? It 15 customary, in cases of youthful de- llnquency, to attribute it to lack of attention in the home, the church or the school. The mother of the namsto boys died two years ago. but their father seems to have done the best he could for them. Tht: father of the Laulrence boy is a clergyman, It is difllclut. to establish tho responsibility of home control when waywardess is found. And the church has to depend uiwn home control for it cannot drag children to services. As for the school, the Damaio boys were rated fairly “"311 in deportmcnt. attendance and studies, a factor which resulted, unfortunately, in their parole after they had committed a pTEVIOUS theft.

IODINE IN TOXIC GOITBE

It has been definitely proven ‘that the use o! iodine in the ordinary table salt prevents goitre among the inhabitants of districts where there is a lack of iodine in the soil. This is known as the simple form of goitre which although embarrass- ing need not cause the more severe symptoms oi’ nervousness, irldlges- ubn, rapid heart action ,or pressure symptoms which interfere with breathing. f There has been some difference of opinion among physicians as to the l use of iOdlllg in those cases of goltrc where the great a cunt of thyroid julcc being manu actured was act- izniiy poisoning the system (toxic game.)

As you know the thyroid juice acts like the draft of the furnace-mak- mg the tissues alld organs work fast and free. Dr. Crile, the eminent Cleveland surgeon, speaks of this lillve as the oil that Jubricates everything and keeps us going.

WOMEN DRIVERS

Sin-I read with great interest several articles which appeared iu the "Public Forum" a few weeks ago regarding women drivers. ~

I noticed that one or two indies quite naturally defended the ‘iisir sex" in this matter, but utter all there is no getting away from the fact that women, as a rule, are tort-- lble drivers. I am sure that any man who has driven a Iew thousand miles will agree with me.

Last summer, while on a touring trip through Ontario, I happened to get into conversation with a man who drives one of those huge sflsirs on wheels operating between Mon- treal and Toronto. He bad been driving large trucks for nine or ten years, and was surely in a. position to speak s. few words on the subject of csr drivers. when questioned as to which ‘type or driver gave him the most trouble, he promptly re- plied "women drivers." Asked why, be answered that they insisted on trailing a foot or so behind a truck on Va hill, held a total disregard for driving signals, and to make a long story short, kept his hair on end as.

However when the thyroid gland [pours out too much of thLs iodinsf 1 juice—uliows it to leak out — then, ’the gland must keep manufacturing r more and more of the juice to make ' up for this leakage, and so it grows larger and larger.

Drs. J. H. Means and Jacob Ler- mail, Boston, in the Journal of the American Medical Association state. that, during the past eleven years iodine has been given as a. routine in the 'l‘hyroid Clinic of the Massa- chusetts General Hospital, and in some 575 cases its action has been made a matter of careful study.

'l'heil~ experience is “that; iodine brings about a rapid lessening of the synlptolns of‘ toxic goitre, and with it a sloiviizg up of the too rapid action of the various processes of the body. Further, iodine is 11st as effective in cases of many years standing as in more recent cases."

long as they were near. F-verything’ they did was unexpected.

Hr. W. H. Bates, in his book, “Travels on the Amazon," tells of an midemround tunnel constructed by the ants which is considerably more extensive than the width of the Thames River at Westminster Bridge. What statistician could cvcn approximately estimate the vast hoard o! errnltes at work upon this stupendous undertaking?
