"Disastrous Record of the Ad- ministration Dcalt with by Mr. L. R. Allen, Hon. W. M. Lea, A. E. McLean, M. P., and Thane A. Campbell speaking at Tuesday's Convention." -— Patriot heading, Sept. 22.

"Hon Mr. Lea said that as for- mer Premier he had no. apology to make for the acis of his adminis- tration, In fact, the Conservatives have shown their commendation of it by copying the Liberal policy as far as they C0illd."—PittI‘l0t re- port of same convention, Sept. 22.

It is difficult to understand the logic of one who criticises as “dis- astrous" a. policy claimed to have been oopicti froln n policy for which, he says, no apology is rc- quiredl

But why expect logic from d15- gruntled politicians?

Sound and fury, the campaign weapons of Mr. Lea and his cohorts at the lust provincial election, are again in evidence in the reported speeches of the party’ stalwarts at Miscouche. Arguments that have been answered n dozen times on the floor of the Legislature and 1:1 the Dress are trotted out; to do service in the coming by-elcctlon.

The Imperial Conference at Ot- tawa has undoubtedly done much to further a spirit of co-operatlon among the nations of the Brit-lib Commonwealth.

Then we have still to come the World Economic Conference at Inn- don from which great things are expected. If it can bring about, an adjustment of tariff policies through- out the wesicrn world and further develop the spirit of co-operatlon its results will be tremendous.

There are of course obstacles which the world in general has to face.

When bands of armed robbers can derail an express train, kill and rob the passengers, and then repeat the performance the next night. it in- dicates that law and order are negligible quantities in the country. Other wrecks caused by bandts merely add their evidence to the case. There lssupposed to be a central government in China, but it lacks authority.

Then she advocated a "steeply graduated"_ir1come tax, an increase in the inheritance tax, and the is- sue of $300,000,000 of Dominion mon- ey to be used by theGovcmrnent for its expenses until absorbed. Mss Macphad is always interesting, but not always convincing. Taking the taxes from where the money is,_is good! Pray where have the taxes been coming from all these years?

While our decreased trade with the United States must of course be accredited largfiy to the high American tariff wall, in regard particularly to agricultural pro- duce. the ultimate result has been to increase our trade within the Empire.

Perhaps you are afraid of n stroke, a. paralytic stroke, because you have learned that your blood pressure is high. Dr. H. O. Glanc- Wardine, Great Britain, after ob- servations on 150 cases of stroke with high blood pressure. tells us that strokes often attributed to shock, exertion. or emotion. are the result of an already existing pressure, which was increased by the influence of this shock, exert- ion, or emotion.

Further, although the blood pres- sure in a normal middle-aged indi- vidual is about 135 or 140, when the armcufl.’ of the blood pressure in- strument is tifihtened "D by air, pressures of 200 or over may not mean anything serious, if the pressure without the cuiI-—the nat-

ural pressur'e—1s under 115.

When the cuff is tightened by air 1t is called the systolic pressure. and when the air pressure is re- moved, the natural pressure of the blood against the blood vessels is called the diastolic pressure.

As you know everybody in speak- mg o: blood pressure, speaks of the systolic or the high reading, and Dr. Gunewardine, and practically all research physicians are more" concerned with the diastolic 0!‘ the natural blood pressure.

Therefore those individuals who have been worrying about systolic blood pressure of 160 t0 200 0i‘ m0“! should first learn whether or not their diastolic blood pressure is 115 or under, because strokes occur very rarely under 115.

Another interesting point ob- served is that stroke occurs more often in those cases with hlBh b1°°d pressure which show neither an en- larger! heart nor symptoms of hem failure, and occurs very rarely in those cases where the heart is act- ually enlarged and where there are symptoms of heart failure.

This means then that the indivi- dual with actual enlargement of the heart, and active signs of heart disease-shortness of breath, swoll- en feet-is not likely to have a

stroke of paralysis.

What is the lesson from these observations?

Stroke occurs most commonly in people who continue to work or play in defiance of their high dias-

tolic pressure, without taking any

thought of how easily a. stroke may

OCCUR

The thought then is that people with a high systolic pressure, but with a. diastolic pressure of 115 or

under are not likely to have a

stroke. And even if they have 115

diastrolic, rest and care may pre-

vent a stroke.

wmt mm Hallsham told the Canadian Club of ‘Ibronto about the Ottawa Conference needs stat- 111g on every possible occasion 1mm the restricted vision which ai- tempts to make pro or contra. 1901i‘ tlcal capital out of the event, or tries to find flaws in the indtls- trial results , is overwhelmed by the larger view. Probably it will be easy for many an individual to Elly it has not helped 111m, or even has done injury. When the details arc made known there is. certain to be a. tendency-in the words of his Lm-dship-meticulously to weigh whether one Dominion hue 0°‘ more than another, whether the United Kingdom is clung more than 511g receives, or gets more." Such inclination has appeared al- ready, the frult of individual or political selfishness declining to think 1n bigger terms. In all prob- ability the agreements will find critics in every Parliament of the Empire because the rplrit which the United Kingdom's Secretary of State for War credits to the Con- ference is lacking, or the objective sought is not desired. Lord Hails- ham deserves the thanks of the; Canadian people for telling "what we did at Ottawa." and the Carla dian Club for affording the oppor- tunity. '

It was even enough for the legal luminary and former Attorney General at Westminster to declare he was but giving his own personal view of what was done, for few, 1f any, will doubt his competency to appraiseithe situation judicially, or dispute that‘ the part he took. "however humble, in making these agreements" was the mnjJr one of brushing aside trivial obstacles and getting down to rock fOlIIIdHLlOII-l He told the Canadian Club he goes back “profoundly satisfied with the achievements which Ottawa has succeeded in making," ab: though not more than "a beginning. of our Empire policy." i

It is in these latter Wvords the patriots of the Empire will find satisfaction, and others will find a. sting. "The. Statute of Westmin- ster," declttred h"s Lordship, "has swept away every legal tie which unites the Empire, saving only, in the preamble oftllc statute, our comlrQt allegiance to his Majesty the King." “What we have done at this Conference," said Mr. Baldwin at the closing plenary session, "is to build a foundation on which we and future generations may erect as fair and stable an edifice 5,5 lics in their capacity to accomplish." A beginning has been made of a new Empire policy 011 the wreck of the old one, and yct a policy true to British traditions in world- wide helpfulness.

The principles enunciated » as actuating the Conference in cal-ry- ing out the policy of Imperial pref- erence, it must be agreed, pave the way for fairer and freer trade, an example which the world great- ly needs-by reducing tariffs on
