., WAR DEBTS AGAIN

1y, was an awkward coincidence that the opening of the World Eco- ggznlc g ference and the install- ment date for another batch of war debt payments should fall within the same week. The Unlltd 5W“! delegates at the Conference have taken umbarge at the fact that the British Prime Minister made refer- ence to the necessity of dealing with war debts without delay, but this necessity is patent to all the debtor ptions. Recent despatches indicate that Britain had tentatively offered to pay the United states 10 per cent cl the $75,950,000 interest due on Thursday, but that this proposal was rejected by the Washington Government. As indicated in to- day's despatches, e. further proposal has been made, details of which have not been announced, but which seems to. have met with a better re- ception at Washington.

The refusal of the United States w discuss war debts even inform- ally at the Economic Conference. could only have been construed as an attempt to remove, for months to some, the most formidable obstruc- tion to the programme the Confer- encc has in view for the restoration of international trade. There are, however, other obstacles. Germany's B0 per cent moratorium on her foreign indebtednes, proclaimed just ‘as she was entering a world con- clave designed to deal with that precise kind of question, looks al- most like an attempt to wreck the Conference before it had been well- launched. And Japan's throat of tariff retaliation against Brltain,—

a curiously belated reaction to Empire pacts now almost a

year old-suggests that Tokio is as ready to bait the World Con- ference in the realm of economies, as it was to defy the League of Nations in the field oi territorial conquest.

It is to be hoped, comments an exchange, that thcse events, om- inous as they appear, will not dis- courage those Conference leaders who are animated with the deter- mination to explore every discern- ible avenue to commercial revival and the worlds economic restora- tion. The Conference can accom- plish much to the purpose even un- der these hampering handicaps. Gold distribution, the wider use of silver as currency, the stabilization of exchange, control of wheat pro- duction, may be dealt with along broad lines through international convention while the biggest ques- tion of all, that of recasting the colossal war debt structure, re- mains in abeyahce. After all, the United States is and will remain the greatest sufferer from the war debts till their inevitable cancella- tion. If Japan prefers to hold aloof from the other nations at London

I as she did at Geneva, there is noth- ing to prevent the rcst of the com- mercial world from reaching a tariff accord and leaving her out. 0nd if Germany persists in becom- ing a defaulter with respect to every forcign debt she contracted prior to 193i, she will simply there- by elect to become a bankrupt in- rtead of a negotiator for her na- donal solvency.

TRADE WITH U. S.

{tolerance to the prospects for some reciprocal trade agreement between Canada and the United States was made in the report of the Maritime division submitted at the recent annual meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers Associa-

' tion. The situation in this connec- tion is unchanged since the tariff conversations between Premier Bennett and President Roosevelt at Washington, and is likely to remain lo until the World Economic Con- ference concludes. The reason for the fact that no bargain was con- cluded’ at Washington is fully ex-

issue o! MacLeana Magazine. from which we quote:

“The reason was not disagree- ment over principles or details, but simply that m. Roosevelt-as he explained quite frankly-was not in a position to make a treaty or agreement without first getting authority from Congress. But Mr. Roosevelt made it clear that he wanted an agreement, indicated what the United States would give and what it would expect in return, expressed his determination to get tariffs down some way.

"Mr. Bennett was equally frank. He impressed upon Mr. Roosevelt that Canada could not accept an agreement without a guarantee of reasonable permanency, but, pend- ing the President's ability to give such s guarantee or even a. reas- onable substitute for it, was willing and prepared to discuss details. His proposals, in substance, were:

“Tjhat Canadian cattle, lumber, copper, fish, also certain dairy products, should enter the United State either duty free or with con- siderably reduced duties; Canada, in return, making the following con- cessions:

“l. Repeal of the exchange dump duty. arbitrary values and other order-in-council tariffs.

“2. Special concessions on chem- icals, machinery, some forms of iron and steel and some electrical apparatus.

"3. Extension to the United states of Canada's intermediate tariff.

“from this classification Mr.

public criticism. commit themselves t0 statements which, éXl-IQIIIEIY yo“; ‘pd general, add to the country's unrest, make for public confusion. ‘rhere was no way 1111401‘ Heaven by which the present Gov- ernment could have balanced the Budget without resort to tamtlon. There is no way now. No way 9X- cept by an indiscriminate campaign of cutting which would cripple and destroy, the public service, sabotage the machinery of government, lower and weaken the morale 0f the entire country.

Fortunately, _ any racial pblhlfllll we have in Canada are not of a very serious nature. As between Canad- ians of British origin and those of French or, other extraction, ours has become pretty much a settled policy of “live and let live." It is true that on occasions men have been so carried away by political enthusiasm: as to see “menaces” in this and that touching our inter- racial relations, but frequently they cool off and forget about it all once the electoral battle has been won or lost. There are splendid rela- tions, ln the main. between English- speaklg and French-speaking Can- ada, and the greater our achieve- ments in this regard the greater should be our resolve to make this relationship for all time.

Mayor O'Brien of NewYork pro- poses to raise thirty million dollars‘ of new revenue by a tax on all motor vehicles registered in the city equal to the tax collected by the state and for all cars not licensed by the city, tolls of l0 cents will be charged for crossing Harlem River bridges and 25 cents for crossing the East River. Every taxicab ride will be taxed five cents.

Bennett extracted a list of some

fifty commodities, some of them of

considerabe importance, pointing

out ll addition that there were‘ some 700 tariff items not aflected by the Ottawa (Imperial conference)

treaties, upon which he was free and willing to bargain.

“Mr. Roosevelt, of course, was not prepared immediately to accept this offer. But neither did he reject n. What‘ he did, actually, was to suggest that Mr. Bennett's list of concessions be lengthened, by the addition of fresh fruit and veget- ables, automobiles and parts, agri- cultural implements and coal."

There the negotiations stand. They will stand that way for ex- amination by ofhcials of both count- ries, until the return of Mr. Ben- nett from the Economic Conference.

"One thing," adds the writer in MlcLcans, "is sure. It is that there will be no weakening on the part of Premier Bennett. If President Roosevelt is in a position to see the thin! IhFOIIBh. Mr. Bennett will see it through with him."

N. S. ELECTIONS

No date hasy/etjbgn fixed for the Nova Scotia provincial elections and as thirty-five days must elapse after dissolution of the Legislature polling is not likely to lake place until near the end of July or early in August. Possibly the date to be set will come between the last of haying and the beginning of the harvest, since these are busy times in rural sections. In the nteantime both parties are active and candi- dates have been nominated in many of the constituencies.

The new Legislature will consist of but thirty members, according t0 the redistribution measure passed last year. This measure reduces the members to be returned from several countries from two, as here- tofore, to one. The -- untles so af- fected are Antigonish, Digby, Guys- boro, Invernesa, Queens, Hants, Victoria, Richmond, Kings and An- napolis. Of the larger counties Cum- berland and Plctou will have but two members in future, instead of three and Halifax is divided into ridings each with one member, where formerly the electors in all parts of the constituency were privileged to vote collectively.

Only one meniwer of the lvffltflt Legislature has signified definitely that he will retire but the reduc- tion in the number of members to

At a White House condercncc at Washington Congressional leaders were told by Budget Director Doug- las that more than 1,400,000 have returned to work since March 4 and there are indications of a (iffinite revival in industry.

Since the stock market. crash, new life insurance in Canada has increased by 9,250,000,000. The in- suranoe department's latest figures for the past three years disclose that. In the same time, $2,000,000 of in- surance lapsed or was surrendered. These were mainly policies of per- sons unable to pay the heavy pre- mium. Insurance now in force totals $500,000,000 in Canada.

No one can doubt that the prea- ent Viceroy of India is a real friend to true Indian nationalism. I-t is not that he regards it as a move- ment to which concesions must be made, because it is there and is growing but which is regrettable in itself. On the contrary, like many other Englishmen, he evidently re- gards it as a fine thing in itself, which Britain can bc proud that she has had a share in producing. It is the weakness, not the strength, of Indian nationalism, which such Englishmen deplore. To love a common Motherland, to wish it to be great and prosperous, united inter- nally, ut peace with other countries, admired and respected abroad, and administering its own affairs, these are surely true thoughts for every Indian, and. these arc thoughts which self-respecting Englishmen would wish to see grow in the youth of a country for which history has given them such a strange respon- sibility. Given a. recognition of that spirit on both sides, evcn the poorest constitution would work.

Youth la not in revolt, but in quest of knowledge and truth, and if the route is sometimes confused and disconcerting it is because of lac-k of guidance. The young, in search of leadership, have turned to their parents only to find that too frequently the men and women of the passing generation are either lacking in interest or engrossed in their own work or pleasure, or make poor leaders because they do not understand and are not in sym- pathy.

There la a queer note of pathos in the appeal made by a Nicaragua man to thieves who had stripped him of all his poor belongings: "If the thieves steal from the poor, these will have tc become thieves also, and the latter’; business will be mined in the end." Self-interest rather than conscience may induce the rowers to take such a hint.

VALUE 0F THE HOT TUB BATH

I sometimes think that in these days of the convenient shower bath the old tub bath is not being used as much as it should be.

That the shower bath is conven- ient and cleanses the body must be admitted but the tub hath does much more than clean the skin.

Your physician will tell you that

the skin is not Just a covering for the body, a sort of bag in which the body is held, but an important organ of the body. i The liver u the heaviest and largest organ in the body and holds about one-quarter of your blood in it all the time. This blood is get- ting cleansed, is helping to manu- facture bile and to stor esugar in the liver. Yet the skin, when nec- essary can hold more than one-half of all the blood of the body.

This then is the value of the hot tub bath.

when you have the water real hot the blood comes to the surface of the skin and as the hot water opens the blood vessels much wider than normal the skin is thus able to hold that much more blood. There- fore with this extra blood in the skin the brain relaxes, the whole muscular system relaxes, and the waste matter from tiredness 0r fa- tigue is carried out of the system because of the widening or enlarg- ing of the blood vessels of the skin. This is why athletes like the hot bath: it removes as much waste or fatigue products from the skin in a few minutes as three or four hours of rest. As you know any little scratch or cut on the skin immed- iately bleeds, because there are so many blood vessels near the sur- face. » The first thought in mental in-

stitutions when a patient becomes‘

unruly, is to place him in a hot bath where the mental and muscu- lar tension is relaxed and he soon rests or sleeps quietly.

Dr. W. S. Copeman, London, England, treated a series of forty- four cases of St. Vitus Dance (chorea) in children under 15 by means of a prolonged stay in hot baths, followed by light assage. The patients were placed in the baths for one to one and a half hours in the morning and again in the afternoon. The results were better than those obtained by the use of drugs.

If. then hot baths enlarge the blood vessels in the skin thus get- ting rid of the wastes caused by work or exercise, and relax the entire body-mental and physical- it would be only good sense to use the hot/‘bath when we are tired mentally and physically.

There ,wcre many differently priced seats in the house, nearly all occupied, and there arose the problem as to the variety of claims for remuneration that would be made. All the manager could do was announce that he would take the word of every membe of the audience as to the price of the seat he occupied; put thcm on their honor. And this was the gratifying result: When all the admission fees had been returned there was g perfect. balance as bctwron receipts

HUDSON BAY RAILWAY

It was revealed from a stat-Emmi by the Minister of Railways that fifty-four millions have been spent- on the lludon Bay Railway all told, the railway, terminals and the ele- vator. Included in this is the amount of some six and a quaretr millions sunk at Nelson once it was found desirable to switch over from there to Churchill.

LIQUOR EXPORT

The House of- Commons voted against the repeal of the law, which, in 1930, stopped the promis- cuous conveyanee of beer and hard stuff from the Windsor and Walk- ervllle docks across the Detroit River to the receptive shores of Michigan. Premier Bennett said the repeal would be a. breach of good faith, good neighborllness iind in- ternational law “to aid, abet and succor a breach of a friendly nat- ion's import law."

ALCOHOL PENALTIEJ

A Government bill passed this Session named a fine of t/wo hund- red dollars or three months in gaol as the minimum penalty for distill- ing alcohol without a license.

ANTHRACTTE COAL

Analyzing the trend of Canada's trade, Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister of Trade and Commerce, declared it‘ to be definitely toward the Brit- ish Empire and away from the United States. Quoting figures to support this assertion, Mr. Stevens said that in 192B Canada imported from the United States 3,200,000 tons of anthracite. In 1932 the figure had dropped by almost half. to 1,700,000 tons. In 1928, he said, Canada's imports of anthracite from the Un- ited Kingdom amounted to only five hundred thousand tons. But in 1032 they had risen to 1,400,000 tons. "1 question whether a, single ton of this coal would have come from Great Britain if we had admitted Russian coal," hesaid. "It is my caerfully considered opinion that if W9 09011 the doors to the importa- tion of Russian coal into Canada, that we can say good-bye go the welsh coal from the United Klng_ dom."
