DOESN'T IT MATTER.’

Mir. B. W. LePue. in a signed ltatement in yesterday's Liberal or- gan, implies that The Guardian "misrepresented" his statement, made at Aftonl-lail, that the 823,000 of the taxpayers’ money had been given by the Government to the Ex- hibition Association to remove clay at the Exhibition grounds.

If the Guardian ‘misrepresented’

him, what about his own party or- '

gan, wherein the same statement appeared on Saturday?

Mr. LePage now says “it matters little to the public whether the Ex- hibition Association actually receiv- ed the money or not."

It surely matters whether a man seeking public office can make de- liberate misstatements with impun- ity.

LEA’S LEGACY

One contention advanced by the LibeLaI candidates at Afton Hall was that the Conservatives claim- ed the Lea Government overdraft to have been a million and a quarter dollars whereas it was only a. mil- lion and forty thousand dollars. The actual amount of the "Lea leg- acy" was $1,041,240.88 in overdraft, plus ‘accrued interest and unpaid bills of $151,280, plus the Liberal lha".c of the sinking fund provision for 1931, amounting to about $38,000. The Conservatives had also to pro- vide $18,000 to redeem s. $125,000 bond issue which Mr. I488. l5 "BB5- urer in the Bell Government, made at six per cent for a term of ten years.

This was the kind of “budget bal- ancing" the Liberals achieved when in power—under conditions which they claim were the most PYWPHO"! in Canada's history.

THAT R. C. M. P. PLEDGE In the Liberal "manifesto," slurs on the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are preceded by the follow- ing statement: “The Liberal party‘ has been the- pioneer of police or- gsnization in this Province."

My, Campbell might have gone further andboasted that the Lib- erals were also the pioneer P10111156- makers with regard to the Mounted Police. Does he forget that the] establishment of the Mounted Pol- ice in this Province was one o! their own pre-election promises in 1927? Does he forget the assurance then given in the liberal press that “with the assistance of those well- trained and continent-famed Royal Mounted Police we may count reas- onably. upon a thorolish 019841-119 of illicit stills, smuggling and bootleggera, making a most convinc- ing argument that Prohibition does prohibit?"

The Temperance Alliance, to whom this Pledge was glvtn. d55- covered during the campaign that it was only a bluff and ihflt 11° effort was being made to implement it. ‘rhéy promptly got after the Liberal leader and threw such a scare into him that he despatched the following BOB call to Senator McArthur, who happened then to be in Montreal. The telegram, sign- ed by the Liberal leader under date of June 19, l92'1—]ust before the election-read as follows:

"Insistent demand by Temper- ance Alliance for Mounted Police. Pear adverse results poi- itically unless granted. Peeling running strong. indignation meetings held. Make sure Police here before next week." \

Bo critical waa- the situation for Liberal promise-makers that two Ifounted Police omcers were actual- f; despatched from om." to the Province. They were visible for I ‘few hours on the eve of the elec- toin. A1001‘ the election they dil- appaared sud were never seen or

J. P. McIntyre, whose 821,000-l»-mile highway cost $4,000 last year in re- pairs.

Now the same gentlemen, defeated on "expansion" are seeking votes on the diametrically opposite policy of “contraction?

And in the ten columns ofLiberal “Manifesto? not one word about the debt increase of over half a million dollars in their last eight months of office!

The "budget balancers" will pro- mise anything to get back. But the best answer to their “Manifesto” is their Record of Performance. Place that against the MacMillan Govern- ment's Record and their ‘Manifesto’ vanishes into thin air. It will be found that instead of usurping the seat of Judgment, they should still be apologizing in the dock!

EDITORIAL NOTES

The old Roman Emperors had nothing on Mussolini as a. martinet.

Interest now centres on Premier MacMilians -speech tonight at the Capitol Theatre, at which he will announce the Conservative platform.

After the provincial election the next big event will be thefarewell visit of Their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Bessborough who are scheduled to arrive here on Friday. July 26, and leave the next evening.

Mr. Stevens party will make the‘ sixth to enter the Federal field. We have the two old straight-line‘ parties, Liberal-Conservative and Liberal, then the C.C.F., the United Farmers, and the Labour.

It is a matte: of extreme gratifi- cation that two such strong, depend- able and resourceful statesmen as the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett and Hon. W. J. P. MacMillan are to lead the Conservative forces in the Federal and Provincial elections respective- ly. They have been tried and tested and are to be trusted.

There is a possibility that Pre- mier Taschereau will have as the principal plank in his election platform that municipalities be re- lieved of the burden of direct relief. This is evidently one of the "ideas" that the New Brunswick election has given him, and is halfway house to old age pensi0ns..

The advent of Mr. Stevens in the field with a new party is iikeiy to draw more support from the Lib- erals than from the Conservatives. Hon. R. B. Bennett has already re- forms under way as far as the constitution will permit. The Lib- erals have no policy, only stand- pattism, and those of their number who are restless under such in- activity are likely to vote for Stev- ens candidates.

According to the Royal Bank Monthly letter for July within the last month the agricultural situa- tion throughout the entire Domin- ion has improved as the result of generous rains. The latest index of the physical volume of business and the indices of manufacturing and marketing show that the activity of business in 1935 has been above the levels attained in 1934 and that s gratifying volume of mineral pro- duction is being maintained. Iron and steel, automobile and newsprint production have been satisfactory; car loadings have increased; new gains have been made in export trade and employment is more general than at this season for some years.

The airfleet display in England dralws attention to the fact that the British Government is ready to throw mother £5,000,000 (almost ¢M.000,000) into the pot to keep her air armaments abreast of European air expansion. A supplementary estima‘ seeking this amount for pcrmnnel, work and technical equipment will be introduced in ouse of Commons this week. The fund, which may be swelled if considered necessary later, is for the year ending March Si, i000. At

The disintegration of the forest resources in any land usually pro- ceeds by stealth. No one advertises the fact by a rise in the bank rate, or by streaming headlines on news- paper pages. Depletion, nevertheless, goes forward lowering the reserve of all forest industries, cutting down the capital assets of the prov- inces, pinching olf the raw mater- ials to which workers must look for their daily bread. The Canadian Forestry Association in its educa- tional program for 1035. as in pre- vious years, steadfastly holds to the belief that an informed public, and nothing short of that, will automatically solve all conservation problems, whether they apply to the woodlands. or to the protection of fish and game.

A NEW TBEAHIINT PUB ECZEMA

You are reading much about the tendency to hay fever, eczema, and asthma with which so many are af-

bfi, Jicted. They have been bom with

this tendency toward any one or all three of these ailments, and natur- ally anything that will correct the tendency or relieve the symptoms is eagerly sought,

Of all the ailments of the skin comma is the most common, In fact over 50 per cent of skin ailments are eczema.

It is of considerable interest then to sufferers with eczema to learn or the new cure reported by Drs. T. R. Combleet and E. R. Pace, Chicago.

They record in the Archives of Dermatology, Chicago, the treat- ment of eighty-seven cases with

maize oil (Indian corn) with gratify- ing results. A few of the patients had asthma and this was benefited ~in some as well as the eczema.

The improvement seems perman- ent and there have been few relap- ses in the four and a half years since the treatment has been used. A number of patients who had had eczema since infancy-have remained wel for as long as three years.

In most of the cases the condition

commenced in infancy and was still present although sometimes the symptoms were less severe than any other times. The skin between at- tacks remained thick, scaly and tted. Before the maize oil was used practically every other form of treatment had been tried without success in all these cases.

The patients were all more than five years of age, and were mostly youths and young adults.

The average time necessary to obtain a cure is from twelve to eighteen months.

The maize oil was given by mouth, the patient began taking one table- spoon before or after meals-which- ever suited best. The dose was m- croased gradually until four table- spoonfuls was taken three times a day. An "especially refined" maize oil was used in the above cases, being likely a little “easier to take" than the usual kind.

It was found that the oil was more palatable when taken slightly chilled.

The above should be of great, in- terest to all sufferers where the symptoms are due to this inherited tendency to eczema.

It should be remembered of course

that all the patients were over five years of age.

Educating The Sea- Cooks

(Toronto Globe)

The day appears to have arrived when the sea-cook joins the white-collar section of humanity. This is an age of education. There are degrees for almost all kinds of human endeavor; Bachelors of this Doctors of that, and Professors of the other. And into this expanding company steps the hitherto-well- berated sea-cook, the man whose grim duty it is u. appease the appe- tites of able-bodied seamen, the sturdy lads of the merchant marine who know nothing about in- digestion.

Henoeforth the sea-cook will be gradnlate of a training school for his kind. There are in Old London several such institutions of leani- ing at which he may secure his "parchment." And surely that will mean also a white collar. Would "PhD." be too pretentious a degree for the man who essays to

satisfy the appetites of the sait- wind-bitten, hard-working and ravenously , crew of a

merchant vessel, and needs all the philosophy there is to be culti- vated?

There is room for speculation as to how hardy seafaring men will greet these dietitians, who may stress the value of vitamins rather than bulk in dishes sent along from "he cook's galley. No cook could pass through these schools without acquiring the vitamins and calores habit. If he doesn't why go to school?

Bu; the main point involved is the school standing of the new sea-cooks. For genentions the sea-cook was a sea-cook because he wasn't considered of much use in any other capacity about the ship. Any one omiid cook, after s fashion and "A.B.'a" could eat anything anybody cooked: they had to. Those days are gone. The old order has changed yielded to education. There will be fancy dishes in the sea-cook's menu; but will tarnished seamen be satisfied with the dietitians’ ideas about food? The prospect is brightened somewhat by it: additional news that these sea-cooks’ schools specialise 1.. guvy.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

B1r,_]’_,a,w i-m... r as relating to drunken drivers, is a plank in the Liberal platform. Like others it is made in true Lee fash- iorh-"To get in on."

What is the Ina record of this in the past? Drunken drivers in open violation of the Criminal Code were allowed to escape Jail by pay- ment of a fine until the Depart- ment of Justice at Ottawa inter- fered to stop the laxity.

Prohibition enforcement was sel- cctive as to persons liable to prose- cution. One prosecutor under the Act, while shadowing a suspected car, was advised by an expensive imported detective tm-"Btop that or you'll be sack ." This officer was later in reality "sacked" be- cause his vigorous enforcement of law was inimical to Liberal vote getting. I-Ion. Mr. Lea is most careful to confine his promised enforcement to "drmken drivers" alone. His caution is commendable from the standpoint of election strategy, but scarcely attractive to lovers of clean law enforcement. _I am, Sir, etc.. TEMPEBANCE
