' _ “In numerous fields, as civilization devel- oped, it has been found necessary to apply I i coercion to the non-compromiser and non-co- operator. If it is decided that the common good ‘i. . demands co-operative rather than individual mar- i‘ keting, coercion will have to be used in that field too. The experience of British Columbia has shown that it is possible for a quite small non-conforming minority to drive a coach-and- four through the best plans of the majority.”

'15 ~' A Footnote To History

An amusing passage appears in the H.-insard parliamentary report of June 19. Protesting ' against the Liberal substitution of another sec- tion in the Criminal Code for the deleted Section 98, Mr. \\’oonswoRTu, C. C. F. leader, cited radical Lilicrzil lcarlcrs of the past who would assuredly have fallen foul of the law as it now stands. Among others he mentioned “an unmi- grant by the name of W11.L1AM LYON MAC- .‘.. K7aNz1r.” who had “ptililishgd a paper that had very harsh things to say about the Government. ' “As a matter of fact," added Mr. Woonsivoarii, “my own people, at that time Wesleyans. stood with Eccxron RYIERSON a‘gain'st,the rebels." ' “Shame!” retortcd Horr.‘Mr. L/ii=oiN-riz. Mr. \VO0DSWORTl{: “It might interest my 1 . hon. friends to the right to know that I treasure 1.‘ my grandfather’s sword with which he joined some of the loyal citizens who were armed in 1837 to keep WILLlAhI Lyon IVIACKENZIE in order." Mr. BENNETT: "His descendant is not doing ‘ ' badly in that regard." Mr. LAPOXNTE: ‘

The New Commonwealth, organ of the C.C.F., which has led the agitation for repeal of the famous Section 98, asserts that‘ what takes its place is almost as objectionable from the point of view of the C.C.F. The change is, in the words of Senator MEIGHEN, a. farce.

The Ontario Government has just awarded contracts for its $5»000,oo0 road programme in the older partsof the province. The work in- cludes construction of new highway links, im- provement of existing highways, re-surfacing work, culvert and curve improvement and re- pair, a‘nd bridge work.

The council at first considered taxing property- holders 54 cents to meet this year's deficit, but decided to clear last_ year's loss first, as the books had to be balanced before July 1.

The quantity of creamery butter produced

in the first five months ending May 31, 1936, was approximately 66,545,000 pounds compared with 60,655,000 pounds in the same period of the pre- ceding year, or an increase of 9.4 per cent. The combined production of chéese in the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Colum- bia for the first five months of 1936, amounted to 13,664,844 pounds compared with 10,481,529 pounds in the corresponding months of 1935, or an increase of 30.4 per cent.

1935 by a considerable margin and that a some- what larger proportion of the increase will he delivered to creameries than last year. In On- tario the cheese industry is receiving sympa- thetic support and if prices continue to strength- en, factories will receive a somewhat greater share of farm patronage than they have been re- ceiving in recent years. 9K 9K 5K Newf0undland’s Commissioner of Finance reports that I\'ewioundland's ordinary revenue returns amounted to $9,711,139, exceeding the estimates for the fiscal year by $500,000. Total expenditure for the year was placed at $13,188,- 505, representing an increase over estimates, be- cause of highway construction and capital ex- penditures on steamships and railway. "We may reasonably be pleased with our financial fortune and fiscal turn-out over the year,” Commission- er TRENTHAM stated. The Finance Commissioner estimated that next year's revenue would amount to $ri,841.845. including a grant-in-aid and the Colonial’ Development Fund. Ordinary revenue was placed at $9,061,179, and estimated expen- diture at $i1,972,99o. 3K 3K Premier HEPBURN is having his 0\vn trou- bles with the unemployed. to whom, it will be recalled, he gave his blessing when they threat- ened to riot when he was opposition leader. A delegation from seven municipalities on Satur- day marched on Queen's Park but Mr. HEPBURN was not there to receive them. Instead Acting Premier I-IARRY NIXON listened to their demands for a resoration of relief cuts. A crowd estimated at 1.000 accompanied the otficial delegates to the Parliament Buildings. Consideration of their re- quests was promised representatives of _Long Branch, .\1imico, New Toronto, East York, Scarboro, North York and Toronto. Paraders supporting the delegation carried banners with the slogans “Fight or Starve,” "Save our Child- rcn," -and “Give us a Chance to Live." *6 BE 5K

The people of Europe are fairly certain that war is coming, but they know neither when it will come, nor how it will come. Mr. CHARLES SUTTON, foreign editor of the London Daily Ex/>re.r.r, told a Montreal interviewer. He is one of the party of British newspapermen presently

‘ making a tour of Canada, which will include a’

visit to the golden jubilee celebrations at Van- courcr. “The man on the street believes Europe is tumbling into another war," the Daily Express editor stated, "but he doesn't know which coun- try is going to‘ start it, and who will fight who. I think war will be here in another five years, looking at the situation as it stands at the pres- ent time, but what sides will be taken is some- thing that nobody seems to know. Germany is the danger spot, rigalét 21’: th; moment."

_ According to Mr. ARTHUR Honors, an Am- erican author living in_ England, six written words in Earl Kirci-izNzn’s 'possession—"The ammunition will be all right"—could have stifled his critics and brought him with triumph out of the 1915 munitions scandal and the storm of abuse which burst about his head and the War Ofiice.

The police courts continue to show themselves severe toward those found guilty of having obtained re-

lief allocations fraudulently. In spite of their offer to repay the money which they had received in this

way, Magistrate Tetreau has just sent to prison two guilty people who

ln this manner procured $480 in one

case and in the other 366. “You do

not make bargains with justice."

he summed up. “You have commit-

ted 9. very grave fault. since the

money which you stole in this way

should have gone by right to peo-

ple more worthy than you are. only

prison will keep other people from

following your example." Magistrate

Tetnea/u is perfectly right. Fraud

in relief allocations has attained

considerable proportions. In the

course of sixteen trials during rec-

ent weeks opened by the Provincial‘ police into relief allocations. fraud

was discovered in every Jnstance.

Severity by the courts may in a.

large measure put an end to this
