Our contemporary is at a loss in account for the fact that, on its own showing, the financial credit of the Province stands high with the bond houses. This, of course, is due to the sound financing of the Mac- Miilan administration. No amount of partisan nrisrepresentation can disguise this fact. A Provinces cre- dit is not built up in a few weeks. and since Premier Lea and his colleagues were in Opposition dur- ing the past four years, and opposed and criticised every financial action of the Government in power, the credit is certainly not due to them!

Our contemporary falsely states that “when the money market was at its very lowest ebb, 2.97 per cent, they (the Conservatives) borrowed for a. period of only two years." The quotation given applied only to two year bonds and it was because the

able that it was accepted. The market was not then at its lowest ebb, for rates declined since that time. And what is our‘ contempor- a.ry's authority for the statmient that interest rates will not be reduc- L ed still lower in the next few years? One of the most urgent economic reforms is for easier credits. Re- duction in interest rates is a plank in the policies of both Mr. Bennett and lvlr. Stevens; and Mr. Mac- kenzie King in his latest broadcast speech declares that he also stands for economic and monetary reform.

MIDDLE AGE

"yo: those who aspire to make the period known as middle age com- fortable, fruitful. and happy, the keynote of conduct must be "mod- erati . 1n matters of food and ex- ercise, work or play, the middle-aged must conserve their powers. Even in such common matters as sunshine and fresh air one can go to ex- tremes, like the nudists and sun bothers; and in the matter of food. it is notorious that we cannot be trusted. Faddists often eat too little or a one-sided diet; but most com- mcnly we overeat."

1 am quoting from an editorial in the British Joimral of Physiology and Medicine.

Middle-age» is i): cross roads in life. We can detenn e that we are not going to grow old and so so about our work or play as if we still youthful. This is of course the idea that it is better to wear out than to rust out and most of us will agree that it is better in live until we die (really live) than it is to dc- cide that we are old, already dying in fact, and so rust out. a

But the cross roads can be met in the spirit of the editorial quoted above; that is moderation in all things.

What does moderation mean?

Moderation means that in the matter of sleep or rest we take an extra hour in bed each night whe- ther we sleep or not, or that during the day we snatch a few minutes rest by lyin down, completely rs.- laxed. Glads one knew how to rest for a few minutes at different times during the day, and Edison, al- though he got along on four to an hours rest at night, always had a couch in his worlnoom on which he could relax at times during the day. In the matter of food moderation means cutting down on all food by 26 per cent, and perhaps as much as half on meat and eggs if our work is indoors and sitting down. If we

‘rhere is a pertinent reference- in Holy Writ to those who live by the , sword. It is a reference that ap- ~ plies perfectly. if basically. to Louisiana's Huey Long, dead in State city at Baton Rouge from the p pistol of a political foe. Up from _ a "Hill-Billy" of "Whitp Trash" origin, Long. by the arts of dema-‘l gogyandausecfforcahadcap- tured the Government of his Stats. With municipal and Fedcraloffic- ials completely under his sway, with police and State militia and even the judiciary his mere henchmen, he was dictator, ruling Iouisiana as completely as Stalin rules Russia 4 or Mussolini Italy.

Nor is it an answer to say that Long, giving Louisiana personal 1 and gangster Government, seized power from other gangsters (which he did), and that he did some things well. The DOint is. and the I wonder, that Louisiana, one of the oldest communities 1n the “land oi the free" was not free, that demo- cracy, as we understand and prac- tise it, was no longer practised no understood there. Instead of "gov ernment of the people by the pec- ple", there was government by Hue, Long.

Nor was Long the mere political shyster of the negro dialect that Canadians sometimes heardon the radio. He wes- a cunning, crafty, able politician, a man whose grit and perseverance and ability were demonstrated by the fact that he passed athree-year law ccuno in seven months; that he had to his credit brilliant achievements in the courts: that he was a platform or- ator of power. Such things are not of the equipment of the mere third- rater in politics.

Long's death removes from the American political scene a force capable of much mischief. But mis- chief stamped out by violence too often leaves mischief behind it, and the lesson of this happening goes deeper. It ‘is the lesson that dic- tatorships, fruits of recreancy to the true meaning of democracy, are desperate things, that it is from other sources men must seek peace, freedom and security.

To intelligent electors this mis- statement was answered convincing- ly bythe Prime Minister when he showed, in the course of his broad- cast messages, that while in 1929 Canada. had 3.71 per cent of world export business, this had increased to 3.99 per cent in 1934.

In other words, Canada's place in the export markets stands higher than it did in the heyday of Mac- kenzie Kings regime. ‘this has been due in large part to the oper- ation of the Empire Trade Agree-
