PUBLICITY NEEDED

kl l very interesting editorial on the position of the Nova Scotla coal mining industry, reprinted elsewhere on this page, the Toronto Mull and Empire makes the pointed suggestion that Nova scotla and the Muritimes generally could best boost the Maritime coal industry by using more domestic coke in place of imported United States anthrac-

ite. It is stated as no longer In dispute that the domestic coke

Produced from Nova Scotig, coal ls not only a better fuel for household use than ls anthracite, but it ls cheaper. Its aubstirtutkm through- out the Maritime Provinces could give the Nova Scotla. coal mines a. market for several hundred thous- and wnrsr coal per annum; and it is pointed out that the people of Nova Bcctla can hardly expect Ontario and Quebec to burn domes- U6 00h made from Nova. Scotln soft coal unlwn thru themselves ihow the way.

Here is a suggestion which men-ts very serious consideration, 1t i; a lurprlslng fuot that the advantages of the Nova. scotla product will be news to many people in the Maritime Provinces. Why have not these ad- vantages been more widely adver- tised ln Maritime newspapers? A campaign of this nature requires enterprise and initiative. and this ls all that seemes to be lacking to insure the widespread use of Nova Scotia domcsllc coke ln these Prov- inces.

TWO POETS

Two pct-is of established reputa- "(m- though not of the first rank. dIODDed their lyres during the year 1931. Of Vachel Lindsay it would he perhaps nearer the mark to say he dPODDcd his drum. He larought the drum into poetry, n; the emu,“ singers had brought the harp and the lute, and its throb can be heard in the most characteristic of his vigorous verse:

"Th" "M105 banged and the tim- bourlnes 51M. Jinx. Jlflgled ln the harlds 0f queens." The other poet v/as Alfred P. Gruvgg best known asthe father o] [when Graves, one of the most consider- able of the young English pow,‘ and as the author cf the song, "Father 0'Flynn."

American refusal to "ekotlalc an djustmcnt will mean that the moratorium cannot end in one year, but must be extended to two or three. Mere postponement is not the most satisfactory solution. It leaves the nations in suspense. Also, it leaves unadjusted the wldc disparity between the debt settle- ments with Great Britain and the settlement wlthother war debtors. The difficulties of England recentlY are well known. Yet she is paying her obligations to the United States at a. considerably 11181161‘ Tile 01' interest than is paid by France or Italy. Moreover, Great Britaln— experienced as a world creditor- wrote off most of the obligations due to her at the close of the war.

The acuteness of the unemtioy- ment situation in the United States was cmpwslzcd when a delegation of jobless men, estimated to num- ber between 10,000 and 15,000, in- vaded the capital and presented a petition to Congress. demanding an expenditure of $900,000,000 on national public works, to furnish the needy with work. The order locks too large for even the world's wealthiest nation to fill. It ls evident, however, that while con- dltlons have been somewhat on the mend ln Great Britain, and while there are signs of definite improve- ment in Canada, the economic situation in the United States has been growing progressively worse. The trouble ls that the American industrial organization, the most colossal in the world, has almost ceased to function, and millions of factory workers and WEE-earners have been deprived of their regular means of livelihood for uPWflYd-‘i Bl two years. v

All round the world, the oulofll is against the burden cf debts. Germany is being forced to the brink of ruin or revolution by rc- psratlon debts. The Allies are be- ing hamstrung by war debts. Th’! United States ls nervous because she may not be paid Allied debts. Cmada ls mulcted daily because 511g must pay a heavy discount on New York debts. Let us stop adding to our debts and live within our means.

While a great deal in being said about the Disarmament Conference which meets ln February next, the president of the Naval Affairs Commission at- Washngton has submitted a program of new naval construction. If we are to suppose that his program means gradual dlssrmamcnt. Many decades will pass before the nations really pursue the p‘ths of pence. It would be a better thing if our_ neighbours, strong as they are. but whose public finances are in a de- plomble state. were to give an ex- ample of partial disarmament to the rest of the world, and were to take, in the domain of lntcmu- tlonal finances, the lend of other countries on the road to a lusting

One would think that a 1mm- whose son had done wonderful things for humflflil)’. would be very Proud o! that son and yet Dr. Mo.

Thhishard ta understand be- cause vitamins are of great im- portance to the individual and m the entire nation.

For years all foods have Emulled in five mmeat, eggs, and hydrates ibread, potatoes, vege. tables) fats, lczcam and buflgf) 531KB; and water.

Vitamins do not belong to any Q1 these five classes, in fact they can- not all be separated from the other foods, and yet that they are in these foods has been amply prover], Experiments have shown that in Dfuper amounts in food vitamin; promote growth, aid the body in its fight against infections, maintain the health of the body and lengthen l.fe. They do all these things be- cause lhrv make each of the other food stuffs do more work in the body than they otherwise would do, 5Q that small quantities of an all round dlfl- give the body all the necessary nourishment.

If vitamins are such Wonderful food elements why would it not be ,vvcll to just cat vitamins and not bother with foods?

‘ Because vitamins are not really i-Qmblcte food elements in them-

been classes; proteins cereals); car-bu.

Kready it is freely fcncast saysiselvcs; they simply make other foods par: .‘-fr.,l;>erod of the early‘ months of l93luihe Christian Science Monitor that more nourishing. -

Of course there are timer, when foods containing u gram; amount o; certain vitamins must. be used, for instance thin run down individuals need F885, butter and leafy vege- tables. also liver; individuals who are nervous and have poor Hppctltcs

should cat egg yolk and whole ccr- i

find it slow in healing. should eat raw cabbage, tomato juice, and orange juice; H1025: with poor chest expansion, and p207 teeth, should take cod liver oil, spinach, and egg yolk.

But the average healthy lndlvi. vidual docs not have to think about vitamins and what foods he should cat to make sure of getting these vitamins.

It was this same Dr. Mccollum ‘who sold that the ordinary everyday dict of the average individual should be qung rich enough in all food ele. ments, including vitamins, if he would make sure that this diet in. cluded some raw fruit or raw vege- tables at least once a day.

HATE

My enemy came nigh, And I Stored fiercely ln his face.

My lips went writhing back in a grlmace,

And stem I watched him with a narrow eye. I

Then, as I turned away, my enemy,

That bitter heart and savage, said to me:

"Some day, when this is past.

When all the arrows that we have are cast,

We may ask one another why we hate,

And fall to find a story to relate.

It may seem to us thcn n mystery

That we COllld hate each other."

Thus sold lac,

And dld not turn away,

Waiting to hear what I might have to say;

But I find quickly, fcnrlng ff I stayed

I might have kissed him as I would

Domestic Market For Nova Scotia Coal

(Toronto Mill and Empre)

between the rep- the lxmlnlon.

The con‘ resentatives of

miners. which was called by the Nova Szotia Government, has failed to reach an egnemenz, and the Cover-drum: has appaizzed a Royal Ccmmlsriun to seek a way out. This tribunal is headzd by Sir AnclrewRae Dunc n, the noted British mdustriadst who WIS chairman of a cod commission 111 1925, and also chairman of the commission which investigated $118 Maritime claims upon the lFcderal Government. His name carries the confidence of the publc, and it should also carry that of em- ployers and employees.

Before the appointment of the commission, Mr. Krlley, general manager of the company, stated that the corporation would acflelil and abide by its findings. Speak- ing for the union miners, the presdeni, Mr. D. W. Morrison, in- timated that he would examine the tribunals mcommmdations care- fully, and either accept or reject them. Commenting upon this attitude of the unlcn official, the Sydney Post, published in the

heart of the nines, says that it has rendered the commission rather futile.

According to a statement c! the company, it ls unable to sell coal in anything like satisfactory quantities at present production costs. Wages and salaries being the largest items in these costs, lt adheres to the announcement which if. made some weeks ago of wage reductions averaging 12 per cent, though the cut to most miners will work out at , only about 10 per cent. It is sald,,‘ that the company ls handicapped by an enormous over- head due in large measure to the cxlstence of superfluous and over- manned collierlds. In the mean- time the old wage contract, which cxplres at the end of this month. has been extended to the first of March, and lt ls hoped that by Ithat time n final settlement of_ the Edisputc may be reached under the peatlershlp cf the commission.

At what figure can it be hoped ito stabilize production? It is, of course, u question of markJs, and nothing like an answer can be ven-

IIIOIEOVEI‘,

There ls a well recognized fold 101' the marketing of Nova. Scotia coal and within the limits of that field, that is to say, Quebec, the Mari- time Provinces, Newfouncllind, an

perhaps, the corner of Ontario, there is a suffici- ent. market for all the coal Nova Scotla can economically produce. The problem ls to recover that market and to hold to it. Perhaps the new C031 commission will look into this phase of the question and throw some light upon ft. One curious feature cf the situation as described by the company's general manager is that the people of Nova Scotia. themselves refuse t0 assist the corporation as it might eislly do by substituting domestic coke for imported United States anthra- cite. The domestic coke produced from Nova Bcotlu coal ls not only u better fuel for household use than is anthracite, bublt is cheaper. Thls fact ls no longer in dispute. In the United States. the home of anthracite where anthrlcltc ls much cheaper than in Canada, coke ls increasingly used ln preference to hard coal. This is the case in many localities throughout New Englmd. In view of these facts it seems absurd that so many people ln Nova Scctla and the other Maritime Provinces per- sist in their use of the imported article. The present adverse ex- change rate should help to cure them of this \l!19-’I"l")!‘llI-'.‘ and un- pati-‘ctlc practice. The substitu- llon of domestic coke for rmwerlcan anthracite for use throughout the Mwltime Provlnccs would give the Nova Spoils coal mines a market of several htmdrcrl thousand tons of coal per annum. It l5 pointed out that the people of Nova Scotla can hardly expect Ontario to burn domestic coke made from Nova Scotla soft coil unless they them- selves show the way by using it in
