VICE REGAL VISIT

. Prince Edward Island today is honoured by a visit from His Excel- lency, the Earl of Bessbor-ough, Governor General of Canada. and stuff, accompaned by Her‘ Ebrcel- lency the Countess of Bessbor- ough and their son Lord Duncan- non. Regrettably, it is a farewell visitation, prior to Their Excelq lencies‘ return to England. This‘- shculd not be .allowed to mar they occasion, however, which will be,‘ one of rejocing at the opportunity‘ of again welcoming. His.Excellency to the Province, and of mcetingr personally Her Excellency and Lord Duncannon. i

On his previous visit, shortly afteri assuming the office of Governor‘ General .His Excellency expressed warm appreciation of the attrac- tons of Canada's Garden Province. On the prererrt occasion they will see the Island at its best. Their stay will be brief, as they must leave this afternoon for Quebec, but it is to be hoped that every minute will be enjoyable.

During their resdence in Canada Their Excellencies have endeared themselves to all our people, and the addresses of farewell, which will be presented to them in the Confederation Chamber this morn. m! by Premier MacMillan and His Worship Mayor Kennedy will echo the sentiments, not only of the loyal citizens of Prince Ed. ward Island, but of all parts of this Dominion.

DICTA TORSHIP

An analysis of the election fig- ures brings out one significant fact. ‘Ihat is that over 40 per cent uf the votes recorded were Conservative. By a flaw in the electoral system this large minority class may re- main, for the next five years, with- out a single representative in the Legislature.

This forln of dictatorship is uni- que. A landslide of this character occurred in Wales in 1906, when the Liberal party, with 217,492 votes,

I‘ captured every one of the 34 seats,

Ithe 100.547 Unionist voters having no representation in the British Parliament, which, however, includes English and Scottish members as well. This fact is cited in the En- cyclopaedia Britannica as a regret- table instance of faulty representa- tion. "The division of the whole el- ectoral body into constituencies is, after all," says the Britannica, “only o. device for getting over the diffi- culty of the electors voting en bloc, and it does not seem to justify the conversion of a real majority in the country into a minority as represen- ted in parliament. nor the complete exclusion of a substantial number of the electorate from parliamentary YGQIESGIIIBIiO-Il-{O far as their views are concerned-—at ail."

This fact does not seem to concern the ‘Liberals and Liberal press here, who rather rejoice in the fact thrt our Parliamentary system has been rendered null and void by an olec-. toral miscarriage. The Toronto Globe, however. takes a much more serious view of the situation. Its comment appears elsewhere in to- days Guardian; and its blunt re- minder to Mr. Lea that his party has gained a power to which it 1B not entitled, is all the more signific- ant as coming from the leading Lib- eral newspaper in Canada

QUEBEC REACTION

"Liberal rcjoicings, at the election results in Prince Edward Island," says the Montreal Gazette, "werf loudly spoken here at the outset, but

there was a very decided tone of regret that the people of one of the provinces would so utterly throw in-i to the discard one of the two main} political parties. This, in Liberal. opinion, was looked upon as a direct‘ setback to the existing parliameutq

dry system, which requires a gov-i t“ on m“. pulp’ PM," ‘m; “mm,

due to the general dissatisfaction and loss of confidence in the old line pal-ties. Moreover, it was also pointed pointed out that the island opinion in federal affairs meant very little, since on a population basis there should be only ;wo mem- bers in the House of Commons from that province, and that the fact that there were four members was due to an amendment to the British North America Act, brought about by a Conservative Government."

EDITORIAL NOTES

No fewer than six million men and women will be eliilible 1° W" at the forthcoming Federal election, which is a quarter more than] shown on the ,basic list last vear- f

Among the economies proposed for the new government when it takes oillce is the pensfoning of Mr. L. B. MacMiilan, Deputy Minister of Public Works. and the substitu-

tion of’ a brother or son of one or

other o! the members.

We have not checked the figures. as it is unsafe to do so until the offical return is made, but a cor- respondent points out that on the figures published 42 per cent of the voters, property and franchise combined, on Tuesday will be un- represented in the legislature.

There is something seriously wrong with the City election vote which the ofhcial return will prob- ably clear up. In the franchise vote 1516 were polled more than in 1931, and at one poll the total franchise was 1,150 whereas on the Federal register for the same poll only some 300 names appear.

A movement is on foot to forestall Mr. W. F. Allan Stewart as prospective, Minister of Agriculture by having him appointed succes- sor to his cousin Mr. H. R. Stew- art, Deputy Secretary-Treasurer. This would clear the way for Mr. Lea/s resumption, health permitting, of the agricultural portfolio. Mr. J. Walter Jones is slated as loader of the unofficial opposition, as he pledged himself to form an “east- ern block“ of members to insist upon hard surfaced roads, etc.

In the event of Mr. W. F. Allan

Stewart consenting to the shelving

operation, the pzoposal is to invite

|Dr. Yeo to run for his vacant seat

with a view to appointing him t0 the portfolio of Health and Educa- tion which otherwise was to have been abolished. If Mr. Stewart is recalcitrant. Mr. Sydney Fielding is the next choice for Deputy Secret- ary-Treasurer. '

If it means this "red tape" may be severed by kindly consideration for a man saddened by the death of "Embers 0! his ffl-Hl-lly. a forward step has been taken. No one can claim that this is a "coddling" of W11 imprisoned for the explaltion of crime. There will be hope ft means merely that the official heart has influenced the omcial head of peni- tentiary administration. That will be regarded by the public as some- thing galned. And prison history has been seen in the making-Tor- Onto Globe.

Students 0f Canadian history have been impressed of late by the thought that many present difficul- ties would disappear lf young peo- ple were prepared to face pioneer conditions and make a way for themselves as earlier generations did in this country. There is too great a tendency to wait f3!‘ gov- ernments or organlzatic": to create favorable opportunities. and too much dependence upon services and conveniences and environment which exist only because of the toll which others performed many years ago.—W:odstock Sentinel Re-

E glishmen are accustomed to claim that their armed force will never be used except to maintain justice and freedom. Foreigners are not always able to feel confident of th’s. In any case. why should the French or German peoples be ex- pected to accept without more ado the British estimate of what is just. especially where British interests are involved?

Signs of a new drive against Jews in Germany multiply. Dr. Goebbels, who must be distressed at possess- ing so few of the outward cha-ac- ter‘stics or the blonde Nordic him- self, did his utmot to set the fires of racial hatred ablaze in a speech in which he conceded that a Jew is indeed a man in the sense in which a flea must. be admitted to be an animal. and declared that Ger- many wanted the Jew no longer. -The Spectator.

Italy continued to despaich troops t0 Abyssinia during June, and our Pacifists continued to denounce her, but the only Italian reaction to their denunciation was shown in a Press campaign against Eng- land. Italy is not so well informed about us as France, she appears to think that Professor Gilbert Mur- ray and his colleagues on the Lea- 8118 0f Nations Union represent this country. The Italian Press was therefore filled with vehement at- tacks upon British hypocrisy ‘in regard to Empire building-Nat- ional Review.

The compromise, whatever lhl merits. has failed. It went to the extreme limit of any concession compatible with Ethiopian sover- eignty, and probably beyond that limit. The Duce, ‘however, wants more. and anything further would involve the surrender. by League Powers or by the League itself. of the integrity and independence of one of its members. The plain is- sue, then, cannot be evaded. The League must either deal with Mus- solini as with a Power openly pre- paring aggression. or it must. con- ‘fess itself impotent and bankrupt.

A WEAK MUSCULAR HEART MAY xCAUSE SYMPTOMS OF ' INDIGESTION

As you know the heart is made up entirely of muscle and this muscle is supplied with nerves which cause it to contract or squeeze out the blood into blood vessels which cany some of the blood to the lungs to be purl- fled and the rest of it to all parts of the body to give. nourishment to and carry wastes away from all the tis- sues of the body. The power of the stroke behind this muscular pump (the heart) must be strong enough to push the blood away and bring it back 8811111. Formerly the heart was thought to have some suction m- dfflwlng Dflwer which brought the blo0d_ back. but it is really the sneezing first stroke that doc; an the work.

N°W when the heart begins to lose some of its power there are cer- tain Symptoms-shortness of ‘breath, Swelling of the feet, or both-which tell the patient and doctor just - what is wrong.

However there are other symp- toms due to lack of power for com- pensation) of the heart which the patient does not think have any- thing to do with the heart.

Drs. D. Branisteanu and I. Fain. ita. Berlin, tell us that loss of ap- petite, indigestion, coated tongue, feeling of fulness after meals, heart- burn, belching up of gas in the ab- d°m911h and constipation may hc clue to lack of muscular power of the heart.

The general opinion naturally is that slowness or stasis in the liver, stomach, and intestines is the cause of these ‘indigestion’ symptomg,

These symptoms studied twenty- two cases where these symptoms existed in patients with weak mus- cular hearts. They examined parti- cularly the action of the stomach and liver by means of the x ray and other tests. The patients were treated by means of rest. and digi- talis (a heart stimulant) for a num- ber of days. and then the lining of the stomach was examined by the X ray. Also some of the stomach juice was withdrawn to find out the activity of the stomach. and the activity of the liver was learned by examination cf the blood and the urine.

The X ray of the stomach reveal- ed a swollen or inflamed condition of the lining. The liver was failing to do its work properly in over B0 oer cent of the cases

Thus these indigestion symptoms mentioned above were clue to “slow- ness" or stasis of the stomach and llverhnd this slowness in turn was due to the weak muscular power of the heart. In these cases then rest and a heart stimulant is the pro- per treatment in order to prevent the stasis rather than treatment for the stomach and liver,

Ethiopia And The Ark

(Exchange)

Arc the crown jewels of the Queen of Sheba and the contents of the Ark of the Covenant now possessed by Hallo Selassie or Eth- iopia? So the Emperor declares. The Ark of the Covenant contained primarily the reconstructed tablets brought by Moses from Mount Sinai, along with other treasures ‘of hs- toric value. Whether genuine relics or fabrications cannot be told until subjected to-an examination. It is asserted that Ethiopia became pos- sessed of them through Menelik I, the son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

The Ark of the Covenant was the most sacred relic of Israel. and the copy of the tablets bore the Ten Commandments. which there- upon became Israel's fundamental law. It was said to hold also the rod of Aaron wh'ch blossomed in- to flowers (Numbers XVII. 19); and the golden vase filled with manna gathered from the desert when Israel spent forty years of travel (Eirodus XVI, 33-34.) The Ark was borne by prlets during the period in the desert.

Its first resting place seems to have been Gilgal. a camp where Israel remained for d time after crossing the Jordan. Thence it was borne to Shiloh, and again to Kir- jath-Jearim. It was captured by the Philfstlncs, but returned to Israel (I. Samuel IV.» 11, and VI., ‘I to l6). In time it rested in David's palace, and finally in Solomon's temple. That is the end of its authentic history.

Whether or not it was destroyed during the siege of Jerusalem is uncertain. Tradition has it that it- was taken to Italy and then to Africa, but historic evidence of such a claim has not been estab- lished. It may have been destroyed during the struggle that ended in the captivity, but proof thereof i! wanting.

Most Scared Man In Europe

(zz. in wihulpos PM PM!) Signor Mussolini has ascended dizzy heights, but to save himself he has to scale higher. I-le has pro- mised a fertile empire he is afradd l-naytumouttobeadeadsci. The cup of admiration that has been drained has to be refilled. Will the new intoxicant be qua-fled joyously? Q,- W111 1t poison them who have to accept it, or him who proflcrs it? The fates must be lcering. and it may be, indeed, that signer Musso- lini is the most sacred man in Eur- ope today.

He is in many ways head and shoulders above the few who maln- tain for brief spans with masterly adroitness dominance in world af- fail-s, and he has impressed this on the mind of p, devoted but awed (and some say cowed) Italian na- tion. He demands the centre of the stage for every part he plaays, and anyone stepping momentarily be- tween him and the spotlight is in- stantly banished into the shadows. His fury is often for effect only. He can sound clarion notes without ex- pecting responses. He reaped patri- ctic acclaim by deollflllg he would go to war with Greece, knowing he would not because he was unpre- pared for war. He defied the League of Nations without incurring withdrawal when withdrawal would have been injurious to him. The soncrous roll of his fervor stirs his people. but sacrifices for the wars he would have waged have been, and are, glo:mlly foreboded by mas- E95.

Signor Mussolini has held the stage because he is unrivalled as the world's greatest exponent of the efficacy of advertising. He knows never to court the news unless he can pretend to be doing something. but he always sees that there is something he has done or said to keep him in the news. He raised himself to hcrscmanship by being shown in a, thousand photographs jumping horses over three-foot fen- ces. He barred himself to the waist to be shown sweating in the sun as he stocked grain in the Pontine marshes he reclaimed. I-Ie lets peo- ple see him as the common s:ldler hc claims he is still, but he scourges any forgetfulness that he sits where Caesars have sat.
