ponents; they have sheathed it as gentlemen; and not even the fierc-f est fray has left behind in thei mouths of either the bitter taste of! enemity or disdain. As in warfarel so in politics. The two nations have‘ marched together with equal step._ Franco-British political philosoph- ere have exchanged views and awopped constitutions. Nothing which the one has thought or done has been indifferent to the other. Riahtiy or wrongly, the Ehiglish channel has joined rather than div- ided the two nations; and there is no doubt that the civilization of Europe depends, as it has always depended, upon t e essential har- mony oi France and Britain. We all admit that the French and Brit ish differ profoundly in temper and in sentiment. The differences of friends are but the closer buck- Iing of friendship. Those of us of the British race are an instinctive people who jump at what we think the fight conclusion, skipping the intervening steps "muddlin; through", in the words of the late Lord Rosebery. On the other hand the French are logical always, even when they base their reasoning upon false premisses, They are dis- aatisfled if the argument be not conducted according to the rules,

lectics for their own sakes, as the league of Nations discussions amply prove. Thus Britain and Rance are complementary. France gives what Britan lacks; Britain teaches them some lessons which have es- caped them. A survey of history easily demonstrates this. Together Britain and France are irresistible, for they are civilized both, and have climbed to a pinnacle of in- telligence, which is as yet but of the reach of the Germans and other nations which may for the present be nameless. If, therefore, what we know as civilization is m survive it must be kept in being by the joint effort of France and Brtain. Hence every right-thinking individual in the British Dominlons and the French Republic should hall with unfeigned delight a. Franco-British alliance as a. practicable and nec- essary substitute for. or wmplement of, the League of Nations.

LIBRARY MOVEMENT

With the Charlottetown Public Library reopening shortly after un- dugomg alterations to ccommodate 4,000 new Carnegie books, it is in- teresting to note that in the Em- pire capital, as in this Province the public library movement is making steady progress.

Libraries have been greatly hon- cred in England during the pasl year through the interest taken by His Majesty the King in connec- tion with the cxicllslon of the Lon- don Library. Then there has been His Majesty's opening of the Na- tional Library for all students of any subject anywhere in Britain He 11115 nbw consented to open the new Central Public Library in Manchester on July 17th. On all these occasions he has been accom- panied by Her Majesty the Queen who is taking an interest in the work among boys and girls. The Manchester Library has cost a mil- lion dollars. The corner-stone was laid by Prime Minister Ramsay

MacDonald, who said that no duty that he performed in connectior with his ofllce carried with it a:

"Children and ladies first." is now the slogan-Man must play second fiddle in the household economy.

Premier Bennett thinks nothing of breakfasting in Ottawa and din- ing at Calgary-only the Dominon Airways have no subsidy for such a route yet.

A politician has insisted on, nay, demanded that his honour and in- tegrity be officially and publicly investigatcd. Yet they say the days of miracles are past.

In an editorial we refer to the rumored Franco-British alliance and give reasons why it should be true. We know whereof we speak for we in Canada, British and Plrench alike, are of one nation, liv- ing harmoniously and progressively together.

According to the Canadian Press Correspondent at Ottawa, steps wil.‘ be taken soon to organize the Con- servative party in readiness for the next general election, "which, how- ever, is not anticipated until a year from now at the earliest." ‘Phat looks as if the general election will be in November 1935.

The Navy is a welcome sight in a British Dominion, and the visit of even a lone cruiser is heartening and encouraging. 1t is a reminder that it is clue to our Blue Jackets that forts and guns are unneces- sary along our long boundary line, enabling those on either side to live in peace, harmony and goodfellow- ship.

If we get reciprocity with Uncle Sam respecting food, lumber, cattle and agricultural products generally without sacrificing our Imperial advantages. it will all be to the good. President Roosevelt has now full power to negotiate such a treaty, but with us it must run the gauntlet of Parliament before ap- proval.

In associating the new ‘Ibunst Department of the Government with the Railways, Premier Ben- nett has been well advised. The Railways have a ready-made or- ganization at their disposal which they can easily adopt to the new requirements. All it wants is an executive head with suitable staff at Ottawa to direct its further energies.

When the staid. unimagfnative, phlegmatlc Dutchmen start rioting it is evidence that international Communism is getting in its work. Powers-that-be cannot be too care- ful in watching and counteracting the activities of these trouble mak- ers. Two of their number were here all last year, active in stirring up strife by propaganda and otherwise -even circularizing and visiting our farmers.

In connection with the decision of the Anderson Government k hand over the reins of office on July 10, it is reported that the Liberal Party, which was signally trumphant at the recent general election, now proposes that the Athabasca riding (where the elec- tion has been deferred till the 24th inst.) if certain‘ legal difficulties can be overcome, shall be divided into two, and that Premier Ander- son or Mr. M.

Stephen Gwynn in The Fortnight- ly Review (London); Lord Lothian says that we are emerging from a period of the hegemony of France. If that means anything it means that since the war France has im- posed hcr will on Europe. 1n fact, again and again, France has given up he; will under pressure from England, and to the advantage of Germany. The one thing she has persistently refused to abandon has been her security. Her part- ner in leadership (for Italy's inter- vention has been spasmodic) zo- fused for years to enquire whether indeed Germany was rc-arming, and when the enquiry was at last forced, found that the process had already gone very far. Danger is admitted.

Heat In The Black Hole

(Exchange)

A new theory that the victims of the Black Hole of Calcutta. died from heat stroke and not asphyx a was advanced by Professor J. Bar- croft, Professor of Pfiysiology at; Cambridge. in n lecture before the Research Defence Society in gm- don. One of the greatest living authorities on respiration, Professor Barcroft has often risked his life While carry ng out his experiments. On one occasion during the war. whcndlzcrc was a dlgpulg among scientists as to efficacy of prussic acid gas in warfare, he went with g dog into a, chamber filled with the gas. The animal was dead wthin 1 minute 35 seconds, but Mr. Bar- croft walked out unscathed. _

Professor Barcroft, who is a. mem- ber of the Chemical Wanfare Com- mittee 0f the War Office, referred to the problem of the protection of London from air raids, “One poss- ible procedure." he continued. "would be to have subterranean rooms in which the esential serv- "res could be carried on. and I was flfiled how many persons could, in an extreme case, work in an unven- tilatcd roc-m of a certain size. The first issue was this. if a certain number of people are in a closed room. what is the essential factor which will reduce the qualty of their work? In a small way it is the same problem as that of the Black Hole of Calcutta.

‘J-Iistory has always assumed that they died of asphyxia. Modern views of ventilation all point in o. differ- mt direction, namely. that they died of heat stroke. If there is no through current and the amount of heat produced by persons in a. room is greater than the walls can carry

It is said ih1. "a little learning is a. dangeiwiixs thingl-but it is a, thousand times more dangerous not to know any- thing. That indeed is a tragic day from which a man has not learned at least one thing that can be mor- ed in his library of useful informa-

tion.
