The Mayor and City Council recommend that the week of May 2i to 281:6 devoted to a campaign of renovating, re- painting and redeoorating on a more than usually generous scale in Dre- paration for these visitations during the summer season, and the sugges- tion is one which we believe will meet with the ready co-operatlon of our citizens. ' ' l): conjunction with the recom- mendation of the civic authorities, the suggestion has beerrmads that the sheds along the water-front be given some attention this Spring. These buildings could be whitewash- ed at little expense and the result- would be greatly to enhance the fav-l arable impression of visitors coming

here by steamer. I This classof visitors will include the distinguished European delegates to the Cartier anniversary celebra- tion. Plans in connection with the vis- itation are now well under way, the following representative committee having charge of the details: His Honour Lieutenant Governor De- Blois, Premier MacMillan, Chief Jus- tice Mathieson, Mr. Justice Arsen- ault, His Worship Mayor Kennedy, Hon.

ECONOMY AT OTTAWA

Hon. Wesley Gordon, Minister of Immigration and Colonization, told the House of Commons the other day that the appropriation for his department has been l-educed from $3,064,278 in 1929-30 f0 $1,435,842 for 1933-34, and to $1,239,288 for 1934-35. This curtailment amounts to almost two-thirds of the original appropriation and is in keeping with the saving of over $00,000,000 effected by the present adminis- tration in departmental expendi- tures.

convinced of the necessity of organ- izing a concerted policy in trade end Production not only by govern- ments but also by the leaders of agriculture, industry, commerce and finance. It is understood that Mir. Bruce's suggestions go even further than the Canadian bill. i-le pro- poses to establish Commonwealth and state boards with powers to regulate Pmduction in accordance with existing economic and to prevent the over-simply of markets. The plan, according to the ‘limes, depends on an Empire sg. ment for the control of speci- fied primary industries in order to balance "En-ipixe production. The first immediate action taken by the prvpesed boards. says the Calgary Herald, would be almost certainly to restrict production. But this is only the means to a larger end. whim production becomes profitable once more farmers will be able to buy the manufactured articles they need, thusincressing envpioyment in the industries and creating a widermarket, in turn. for their foodstuffs and raw mater. ials. This healthy development can only be achieved W "Bflnlzation and control. ‘Iihe alternative is to leave markets glutted and prices ‘ruinously low.

P. E. I. FISHERIES

Z_,_ . The Department of Trade and Commerce reports that 1,504 per- sons were employed in the canning and curing of fish in Prince Ed- ward Island last year while 3,194 were engaged in fishing. This is an increase in the number of em- ployed as compared with the pre- vious year, though the value of the product showed a decrease from $988,919 to $542,315, chiefly due to lower prices, since the catch was much the snare, being 223,473 hun- dredweisht. compared with za-tssa hundredweight. . . The quantity of lobsters taken in Prince Edward Island waters in 1933 was 19,547 cwt., s. decrease from the record year 1932 of 23,032 cwt., or 20 per cent. The catch of i933, how- ever, was higher than the average of the preceding five year's. ‘The marketed value of the lobsters in Prince Edward Island is exclusive of the value of a part of the catch which is sold to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick firms for canning, such shipments amounting in 1933 to 15,981 cwt.) being included with the values cf. the provinces where canned and marketed. Cod and her- ring showed increases in catch over the preceding year, while the catch of smells shows a decrease.

chases. In 1922 they constituted 25 per cent of the total imports, and in 1931 and 1932 they had increas- ed to about 76 per cent. These are goods which the United States especially equipped to export, but as Russia has few goods and still fewer services with which to make payment, it would appear that any considerable volume of trade be- tween these two countries must be establishedon a triangular basis, with some third country, or more probably a group of countries, tak- ing the Russian goods which the United states dcrs not need and thereby supplying the Russians with the mesnsfor paying for imports from the United States-Foreign Affairs (New York.)

Values are all relative. However their appraisement depends upon many a point of view. There are those who would rather spend a. dollar more on a dinner than a pair of slices. And there are those who would forego a new pair of shoes to buy a pot of flowers. Twenty-five cents, spent by a lover of art, to view the marvelous col- lection of objects in the great New York Metropolitan Museum might mean more to some than the ex- penditure of a thousand dollars to vacation in some foreign land. Peo- ple usually buy the things they most want-not the things they most need. A certain hunger must be appeased. A picture, a book, a meal, a flower, the theatre, may do this. People sacrifice more for what they want than for what they ac- tually need. Perhaps, after all, this is but one Way of expressing the truest urse of ones nature.

J. A. Spender declares that the history our school children should be taught is the history of the last thirty years. It would be of far more use to them than the dates of "old forgotten things and battles long ago" with which they are lad- en at present. The result of this anctlnt history is to compel them to make their start centuries be- fore their own era. If they started where their fathers, or grandfathers left off, they would make more headway on their own account.

The place which newspapers might take in the education of children is suggestec by a. writer in the Midland, (Ont) Free Press. He believes that every school teacher who has charge of children more than ten years old should devote a part of the school day to reading newspapers to them and comment- ing without bias on the information they contain. The writer says: "To- day the well-edited newspaper is really a modern college. I know oi no constant newspaper reader who is not well informed and intelli- gent. Arid I believed that by inter- esting children in the world and its ways early in their lives the school will help them to achieve a breadth of view and a habit of forming intelligent opinions that they would probably gain in no

teachers in imparting other need- ful knowledge to them far more easy.

Dollfuss‘ luck holds. All the eggs they threw at him missed their mark; attempts to derail his train and blow him up with an infernal machine have been discovered in time. Persistent attempted assassin- ation of a man in Dollfuss‘ position is probably a compliment, but it must become tiresome. The opposi- tion forces are carrying their com- plimentary attentions to the point of flattery and will doubtless be induced to desist by somewhat stern measures.

Japan can, if she sets about it, cause Great Britain infinite troub- le commercially, Neverthelem she cannot hope to win in a trade war against a country possessing the experience and the resources of Great Britain. It would be much better for her were Japan to nego- tiate with the British government, as invited to do a year ago. A trade war is as foolish and destructive as armed hostilities.

While the United States is In no position to buy heavily of Russian products, it is in a favored position to supply the goods which Russia especially needs. The lack of bal- ance between imports and expors in the post-war trade between the United states and Russia is clearly indicated. The classification of Russia's imports reveals that since i921 four groups of commodhies- cotton, metals, machinery. and aut-

However the teacher insisted t hit he write with his right hand and a rap on his knuckles was his reward when he wag caught using his left hand. -

As far as we. couldigather from the teacher's * left handed- ness wasin thesame class-as lisp- ing, stamme ' _ or stuttering. and that usually the-youngster was not as bright mentally or as strong physically as one that was right handed.

Now this idea. that one side of the brain may be better developed than the other side, and that this causes various mental and physical defects has been believed for s great many years. in faot it is only

during the past ten or fifteen years

that this idea has been even chal-i lenged.

However experiments and investi-

gations recently show that there isi no truth in one side of the brain being better than the other, or that left-handed ’s are deficient mentally or physically. Profe Bethe, physiologist, of Frankfort, Germany, has completed some research of this question, his experiments including the examin- ation of a group of children. and a large a “ of students. He says, “The view that left-hand- ed persons are supposed to suffer from physical deformities, mental backwardness, epilepsy, criminal tendencies, cross-eyes, deaf-mutism, stuttering and the like, is discredited by the many distinguished men and women who were and are left-hand- ed. Furthermore, the left-handed persons, as a survey showed, were better in the examinations, on the average, than were the other cases." These facts are now admitted and a youngster who wants to write, draw, golf, pitch a ball, or do any- thing else with his left hand is per- mitted to do so, without any object- ion from the teacher of‘. instructor. It L; certainly gratifying that this idea that a left-handed individual is "defective should be shown to be absolutely false.
