Following his tour of Canada in connection with the Royal trip, .\lr. G. Ward Price, corres- pondent of the London Daily Mail, Wrote an Irticle for his paper discussing the type of Gov- rrnor—Gc-nerzil desired in this country. That he found the subject of cousidernlile interest,‘ says I. Toronto exclizliigt-_ will surprise the mayority of Canadians, for llis Majesty has been so well representctl in the Dominion that little thought has been given the possibility of an improvement in type or stxinrling. The appointment IS a triat- ter on which the people are not called 1‘l’‘’" 10 concern themselves. Outside the limited ninnber who protest on principle that a Canadian citizen ought to be selected, anxiety is confined to the higher circles of g0\'t‘l‘|llll(‘lll where such in- cidents as the C0llslill1lirm:\l conflict between Lord Byng and Prime Minister King are re- membered. Lord \\'illingdon's retirement be- fore his term expired and the delay in obtaining 1 successor occasioned coinmeut that the dif- ficulty fretpiciitly is not so much in finding a competent l‘(‘pl‘('.<('lltzlll\'t’ for the King as one ac- geptable go the Government who is willing and able to serve. Not every distinguished man qualified for the office can pack up his affairs und move to Canada for five years.

Our Toronto contemporary adds pertinently that if Canada could alw:i_vs have a Viceregal head like the present incumbent of the office. loyalty to the Crown would never default. Lord Tweedsmuir, so widely known as plain John Buchan, has proved himself to be one of the most admirable and practical Governors-General in the lengthy list. He has not been content with fomialities of office, but has entered intp the life of the people in a way which demonstrates the King's interest in the welfare of his sub- jects. Although he has toured Canada, even to the remote Arctic regions, he and Lady Tweed5- muir are about to set forth on another trip, this time into the Peace River country. Lord Tweeds- muir has made it his business to know the coun- try and its peop‘,v: and to take an interest in them as no predecessor has. He has actively engaged in the promotion of all aspects of culture. He has established a notable connection with Wash- ington. And he is credited with inspiring the tour of Their Mzijcstics to this country and the United States, foreseeing its magnificent bene- fits.

War Scare And Politics

Fearing that Prime Minister King has "ap- parently all but decided that an election is neces- Iary early this fall,” the \'Vinnipeg Free Press (Liberal) voices strong disapproval of any such procedure. Its chief argument for postpone- ment is the existing international situation. The danger period, it declares, is in August and Sep- tember. When the House of Commons dis- Iolves, it ceases to exist. Its members have no more standing in the country than any of its other citizens. They could not be called back to Ottawa. They could have neither voice nor influence. Yet if an election is called now, and K war comes, that is the position in which this country would be. That would be serious in itself, for days, hours and minutes count on such occasions. It would be even worse if an elec- tion campaign was under way. Our Winnipeg contemporary therefore suggests that if Mr. King feels himself impelled to hold 1 1939 elec- tion, he would be well advised to postpone dis- solution until thc critical season in Europe is W9’.

On the other hand, the prediction as to En- Ibpean affairs reaching a crisis by September is based, after all, on theory. It may be correct, and it may not. There was a crisis last autumn, and next year again there may be equally cogent

reasons for postponing a dissolution of Parlia- ment. The King Government cannot for that reason continue to hang on to office indefinite- ly. In any event, Parliament will be 3 minor factor in determining this cot_i_ntry's course in the event of an outbreak of war involving the

ad Country.

Cats And Literature

A discussion that once absorbed Italian sav- Ints has now its counterpart in England. Dante

was the first writer to mention the firefly (la ed by Section 121 (of the Consolidated Railway

lucciola), and it was wondered whether the in- sect existed in the peninsula before his day, for there is no mention of it in Latin literature — no word for it in the language except ‘in modern medical Latin. Although the domestic ‘cat was known to the ancient Egyptians, even feveﬂd among them, the first appearance of Thomas and Tabby in England is now: topic of discussion, with Chaucer (1340-1400), "father of English poetry,” as, at the beginning of the discussion, the first to mention them. His claim was bas- ed on the “Manciplc's T ale" in the Canterbury collection, and reads thus: _ Let take a cat. and foster him well with milk, ‘ And tender flesh, and make his bed of silk, And let him see a mouse go by the wall, Anon he waivelh milk and flesh and all, And eve_ry.dainty which is in that house, isuchihppetite hath he to eat the mouse. ”"' ‘ And it is known that Dick Whittington, ‘Thrice Lord Mayor of London," who died in - — I,‘ had a_ famous cat, although it is.hnpos'slble . ,r in presence in contemporary litera- Thus. Chaucer bore the palm of priority — entofThg0lue‘rvetIeminthQ

$22.7 extract from “Ancren Riwle” (Nun's Rule). written by Bishop Poorc, who held the Sec of Salisbury from 1217 to 1229: ’

“Ye shall not possess any beast, my dear sis- ters, except only a cat."

Bri_;ain And Japan

What lies behind the new Anglo-Iapanesc agreement is still an outstanding puzzle in the current international “war of nerves.” \Vhether it is an attempt to neutralize japan, as a safe- guard against splitting forces should a conflict with the Central Powers have to be faced, wili only be revealed in the time ahead.

And. says the Hamilton Spectator, Great Bri- tain will in the meantime take the inevitable criticism from those idealists who base their in- dignation on the acceptance of John Bull as the policeman of the world. That these critics con- fine their abuse to the realm of theory alone is a. sufficient commentary on their importance.

But one dominating fact must still be accepted, even by the critics: Great Britain today is in the

,strongest position she has been in since the rise

of Fascism began, and any iudgment of the pre- sent scene must be based on that fact.

Driven from pillar to post Archbishop Sigis- mund Waitz, Primate of Austria, has at length to accept Nazi hospitality for a place to lay his head. Vi/hen the llillcritcs seized Austria, the Archbishop was driven from his palace at Sall- burg and took refuge in a house near the Bene- dictine Abbey of St. Peter. The Nazis now de- clare they want that house for Government of- fices, and have offered the Archbishop three rooms in his own palace which is now occupied by the black—shirtcd SS.

A monument to 14 brothers of the Order

d’Hospitaliers de Saint Jean de Dicu who died

181 years ago is to be erected within the ruined walls of thg old Louisburg fortress. The

Order conducted a hospital in the fort prior to its fall to British troops in 1758. During that

time 14 of the brothers died and were buried

in the beleaguered town. Several years ago a sod from the "Old Town” was sent to the or-

der’s Canadian headquarters at Montreal. The memorial will be unveiled next month.

In 1932 the Select Standing Committee on Railways and Shipping reported that the pro- vision of an official residence in Montreal for Sir Henry Thornton at an annual cost to the railway of $20,000, made under resolution of the Board of Directors, appeared to be in con- travention of his contract and, if legal, unwise and should not have been authorized. The lease was for ten years, and thus represented an in- vestment of $200,000 for a ten year occupancy. The new directors rescinded the resolution, and the Montreal Trust Company, sued the railway and lost. They appealed to the Privy Council, and now judgment there has been given. in favor. of the Railway. Their Lordships expressed the opinion that the railway company "in taking a lease in which to its knowledge one of its di- rectors was interested, made a contract prohibit-

Act of 1879). That contract accordingly was void and of no effect and action to recover rent thereunder was rightly dismissed." t on in it L

The Air Raid Protection authorities at the British Home Office are considering the use of "black" light for the illumination of street signs. The “black" light is an invisible ultra-violet rayf which can be provided by the insertion of special black lamps in the ordinary street installations, capable of" illuminating nothing but special fluorescent paint. Objects which are not treat- ed by the paint remain invisible in the dark. the fluorescent paint, lit up by the rays, has the advantage of being seen only at short distance. Low flying aeroplanes would see nothing of the signs. A recent deinonslration of “black" light was carried out at Brighton. A policeman on point duty wore a cloak, treated with fluorescent paint, and was lit up by ultra-violet rays. Al-

TONsll..L:'l.‘lS DOES CAUSE HEART DISEASE

It is often a number of weeks after an attack of tonslllltls that rheumatlc pains and perhaps heart symptoms appear so that the ran- all: are not. blamed for me rheum- aL.sm and heart disease.

As so many attacks of tonslllltla are not iollawed by rheumatism. there may be many. lncludlng phy- slclans, who doubu the statement that tonslllltls can affect. the heart. It ls interesting therefore to get. some reliable Information from the medical cllnlc of me University of Zurich, Switzerland.

Dr. H. W. I-lotz, Basel, ln the Swiss Medical Journal, states than during the first part of 1939 there was an epidemic of tonstllltle and many of the nursing staff can- tracted it. There were many with symptoms of rheumatism and ms- .-urbed hearts. It. was decided to make ,elect.rocardlograph tests on all patients who had lnflammatory disorders of the tonsils, and ab- normalities were observed in a sur- prlslngly‘ large number. The sever- ity of e tonsil gymplaorns did not aiways cause the same degree of disturbance of the heart rate and rhythm, as severe tonslllltls some- times caused very little hcart uls- turbance and slight tonalllltls sometimes caused 9. great ,amount of heart dlsturbance. It is not. to be wondered at, therefore. that a slight sore throat Lg seldom sus- pected of being the cause of heart troublee.

The investigations of'Dr. Hot: and others showed that than changes of the rate and rhythm of the heart. disappeared after the tonsils were removed. These dis-

While it is not recommended that every patient with tonslllltls should undergo the electrocardio- graph tests it ls emphasized that physical exertion should be avolo-l ed during the first few days after the disappearance of tonsll‘ltl.s. This rest. in bed after tomlllltls may be sufficient to prevent. chronic heart disease.

Dr. Hotz recommends that cases of chronic tonslllltls — persistent: sore throat.—should. lf possible, have electrocardlograph tests and if the tests show neart distur- bances. the tonsils should be re- moved.
