‘ENGLAND smzvvs TRUE

vCome the three comers of the

world in arms. ‘And we shall shock them: naught

true." ' These dauntless lines from Shakespeare, which were quoted frequently during the War, must have been in Chancellor Sherman's mind as he delivered his masterly budget speech ill the British House of Commons on Thursday. The Chancellor's problem was to find fitra revenue to make up for a deficit of 3370000000 in the pres- ent budget and an estimated defi- cit of $850,000,000 in next. year's budget. The solution of the prob- lem involves drastic taxation meas- ures, increased customs and excise duties. a. reduction of l0 per cent ln the “dole? and n. reduction in the salaries of school teachers, po- licemen and other officials, includ- lng civil servants, from the Prime Minister and Cabinet members downward. The temper of the Brit-

ish people was shown by the man-,

rier in which the budget announce- ment was rcccivcd by the House. "As Mr. Snowden rcsllmul his scat he was accorded an ovation such ls is given to few Chancellors."

There is no immediate danger of "the three corners of the world" coming in arms against England; but the present economic situation warrants war-time measures of economy and retrenchment, and the British Govcmnlcnt and peo- ple hawe risen to the occasion with the spirit that has characterized the race in times past. Great Brit- ain to itself is standing truci

It is sale to say of every in- dividual member of the Labor par- ty now in Opposition, if’ they had happened to be Chancellor of the Exchequer at the present crisis, that they would have thought and acted exactly‘ as Chancellor Snow- den has done. They too must have thrilled to the final challenge which the Chancellor, "his pale features drawn and his hands shaking," (lung across the House:

"Shakespeare's voice and Nelson's

In this our chosen and chainless

THE‘ "VICTORY?

The recent International speed- vboat race in which Gar Wood f(America) and Kaye Don (Britain) were the outstanding contestants for the Harmsworth 'I‘:'0phy, proved so unsatisfactory from every stand- point that lt is being made the subject. of debate among Sport writers the world over. The major- ity of opinions are to the effect

‘that Gar Wood should no longer-

hold the trophy which hc has suc- leasfully defended for over a de- bade.

In the first heat, Miss England HI led the other two contestants, lifflssiAmérica VIII and Miss Am- erlca IX, over the course at llil m<p.h., finishing six lengths ahead of the second boat, Miss America IX.

Forty-five minutes before gt-he lecond heat, Gar Wood asked for a postponement because of aleak 1n his gasoline, tank. Kaye Don rightly said that according to rul- ings, unless twenty-four hours no- tice were given, no postponement could be allowed.

The sportsmaniike thing for Gar Wood to have done would be to have allowed the two other con- testants to "fight it out" between themselves. But Gnr Wood was an old hand at the game, he knew a Iew "tricks," so he hurriedly re- paired his tank, nnd moved toward

ate intention of rnisleadirll; Kayo. Don who had been doing a lot of! prggtlslng on his starts, being able‘ to reach the startinz line at 100 mph. Fearing to lose this advant-j age when he saw the American boat dashing for the line ahead 0f him, he at once began to follow, crossing the line seven seconds’ ahead of the gun. His boat struck the back-wash of Miss America IX. capsized and dove to the bottom. Miss America VIII which had nev- er in its hLstory approached tho record made in the first heat, went over the course at a little better than fifty mph.

It was not a race. Gar Wood has

but surely he cannot be proud of his act. It is a. repetition of the story of the dog in the manger. If he did not win the race, he at least could and would prevent Kaye Don from winning it.

What sunrises everyone is that the Judges did not reconsider their decision upon hearing Gar Wood's open "confession" later. In thc sporting world, any underhand work is regarded with contempt, yet in an International race like this it seems to be lauded as one of the fine points in racing ethics.

At any rate Kaye Don drove his boat to a, sensational and record- breaking victory in the first heat, and evcll if the breaks were against him he "played cricket."

Dr. C. S. Bluemel, Denver, Colo- rado, who has studied ‘stammering’ for a number of years, ls of the opinion that the organs of speech- mouth, teeth, lips. tongue have nothing to do with causing stam- merlng. That stammering 1s all impediment or blocking of thought, not a blocking of the speech.

Those who are critical of the Motherland because she has per- mitted tlle creation of a $600,000,000 deficit in her annual budget-a figure which has been considerably cut by \ closer examination- should tlull their attention to the United states which faces a de- ficit of a billion and a half for the current year. Deficits are all the style this year.

The majority of European cine- ma-goers will have probably felt

mend it to the attention of all our readers who are interested in edu- cational matters. The significant point is the amount of erroneous information about Canada which, according to witnesses for the de- fense, these supposedly authoritative text-books contained. New York, not London, was cited as the larg- est city fn the world. In the 1927 supplement all Canada was stated to be under Government Control, whereas at that time neither Prince Edward Island no: Nova Scotla were under this Act. There were also erroneous statements concerning the entry of this Pro- vlnce into Confederation. About seventy-five per cent of the articles, it was stated, dealt with United "States matters. The part played by the Americans in the. War was magnified an'd the whole work was ‘declared to be unsuitable for Can- Aladian children.

The first step is for the stammer ‘not to struggle to say the word, but just let his mind tell his mouth the word to say, that is to ‘think’ the word first, before he tries u. say it. By giving up this struggle better in' finding it for himself, to say the word his mind works because he is calm and quiet.

ago this poet-priest was contribut- ing lyrics, quairalns, and "sonnets of surpassing beauty to Sei-lbners, Helpers and other leading American magazines. ‘

He did not write extended poems; he had a gift for condensing great thoughts into a few simple words. These smoothly flowing lines must have been condensed with infinite care, for his purpose was brevity. He tells us the reason for this in the opening poem of his "Later Lyr- ice."

"0 litle bird, I'd be

A poet like to thee

Singing my native song

To love and memory."

This descendant of an old. and a wealthy Virginian family had every advantage of birth and education As a boy he had private tutors. but eye trouble interrupted his studies when he was fourteen, and for three years he devoted himself to music. becoming proficient on the piano.

During the Civil War he served in the naval department of the Confederacy and was taken prison- er June the fourth, 1864. l-Ie was sent to "Bull Pen” at Point Look- out where he met Sidney Lanier, the poet. with whom he formed a life—long friendship. When given his release he had neither land nor money but decided, on the advice and with the assistance of a friend, to fit himself for a musical career. He practised seven hours a day un- til his patron failed, then secured a position as teacher at St. Paul's School, Baltimore.

He became a Catholic in 1872 and immediately began to study for the priesthood- It was not until the Christmas of 1884 that he was or- dalned. The faculty had recognized his ability as a teacher and retain- ed him, aftcr his classical course, to teach English. Heltaught at st.

We are told that "Father Tabb consecrated all his energies to the vocation of teacher," and conclude that writing was the relaxation of his leisure hours. I know a pupil of his who told me Father Tabb kept a. small tablet no his desk where he jetted down elusive thoughts’ to be written up after classes.

Ordinary, everyday things are clothed 1n beauty by the magic of his pen. And, apparently. simple ar- rangement of words explain a sun- beam and a work of nature, in an dxquliitd way not easily forgotten:

Such expansion of a diialile 1"‘ dustry in the worst 12 1110111118 M a world-wide business dellfcssm" warrants what some of the news- pnperocall "note and comment.” The sudden revival of the Cana- dian butter trade is as everyone knows, due to the abrogation of the Canada-New Zealand treaty 8nd the adoption of an adequately Pro- tectlva tariff by the Federal Par- liament. Between 1925 and 1930, the general tariff on butter enter- lng Canada was only _3 cents P01‘ pound, while the treaty rate W Australia and New Zealand W88 fixed at the absurd level of l cent poi- pound. As a consoquenod this Dominion was deluged with cheap New Zealand butter, and not only did Canada's export trade in but- ter disappear but its home market was glutted, and the dairy industry of this country was threatenod with extinction. '

On the eve oi the Federal elec- tion of 1930 the late King Govern- ment gave notice to New Zealand‘ that the treaty would be cancelled‘ as from October 30, and, that there- after New Zealand would come un- der the British preference. But before October 30 arrived the King Ministry was defeated, the Bennett Government sworn into office, and the short special session of Parlia- ment held. One of the most impur- tant of the fiscal changes made at that session was an increase in the general tariff on butter to 14 cents, the British preferential rate being fixed at 8 cents per pound and being made applicable to New Zealand butter. For months after these changes were made they were of little benefit to the Canadian

dalrylng industry, because millions

had been shipped to this country between May and October of last year and kept in cold storage ware- houses to supply the trade during the fall and the greater part of the winter. But with the depletion of this New Zealand supply, the Can- adian market was conserved com- pletely for Canadian butter pro- ducers, and the industry has since grown at a remarkable rate. No more conclusive vindication could be flu-nlslled of the beneficial ef- fects of the tariff legislation en- acted at the short session of Par- liament. As has been noted above, We dill’? industry of this country has expanded at an unprecedented rate during the very acme of the general business depression.‘ That it will increase greatly in impor- tance under normal conditlons,goes without saying. And what is true of dfllrying is equally applicbale to other Canadian industries which new have the benefit of an effec- tive tariff against unfair foreign competition. No. sane Canadian to- day would think of reversing the Bennett Government's protective measures with respect to the dairy- ing industry. The time is not. far distant when the benefits o1’ those measures to every important Cana- dian industry will be similiarly ap- flbarent and quite universally ap- illroved by well-informed public ‘opinion.
