MR. KING'S ATTITUDE

According to our local

1n the following words:

_"Thc issue has become one of i cqmniomvcalili or empire. We be- lieve in the British Common- wealth as a COfllllllllllly of na- filpns free in their sovereign Tights, free with respect to fiscal policies and all other matters, free to develop as they think best but in no way interfering with the autonomous rights of other parts. ‘The Conservatives arc seek- dill; to create instead an empire with imperial policies which ul- itiir.zit<;ly' will control all its parts ‘from a commoircentrc under an Imperial sovereignty."

peculiarly revealing. lf it means anything. it mcans that he is an anti-Impcrialist, and that he ac- knmiqcdges no bonds of Empire, not even the bond of allegiance to His Majesty the King.

The primary meaning of Empire, according to \Vcbster‘s Dictionary, 1s a group of nations or states un- der a single sovereign power. "We understand by British Empire and by British Imperialism," says an luthority quoted by the dictionary, "a confederacy of many lands un- ‘dger the rule of His Britnnnic Maj- lety."

‘Commonwealth’ is defined ‘ as ‘a body of people constituting a Itate or politically organized com- miliiiii’; a body politic; hence, a Stall‘, (‘Slllfrialkv one constituted by a numbcr of persons united by CQ-nlfllift or tacit agreement under

K one form of government or System

0f laws.“

It has been customary in recent tiiiics to rcfcr to the British Ein- “a commonuxiultli of na- Tliosc who usccl iiic ex- pression simply intruded L; convey U"?

Kill‘! 8110s much further \\‘ll0{l| he denies thc existence of the Brit- ish Empire and assumes that loy. 51W to the Crovm is a question o; party politics.

. This, surely, is a strange issue (or the leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition to raise in the Parliament of Canada. It ls only a few months ago that the people of Canada celebrated Empire Day. Does that mean anything to ML King?

We hesitate to believe tha; the Opposition leader's disloyal utter. ‘me "fbrescnfs, as our Cofltelllpor. "y claims, "the Liberal attitude." n’ 15 simply the attitude of Mr. Mackenzie King, which, a5 the Toronto Globe has frequently point- ed out, is a horse of a quite differ. ent colour.

A host of reasons may be found for this situation in the census fig- ures of both Canada and the Unit- ed States; the figures of people who own property. People and politician»? talk about huge corporations. Who owm them? Accord ng to the latest census figures they are owned more than ever before by the common people; by the average American and Canadian. Add to that. We mil" ions who own their own farms, or their own land or homes, or who have some other stake in the country, and there is the Bil-Wile? to the failure of Socialism. 01' Communism.

It cites the biographeris reference to "his sour and peppery temper. his quarreisome ' ' ion, his instinctive imputation of low motives to others, his long memory of real or fancied affronta, and his stubborn refusal to meet sug- gestions of conciliation half way." Men of this temperament are usu- ally an embarrassment to their friends and a nuisance to the pub- lic when they obtain office of any kind.

By lama W Barton. MD- CONTENTMENT AND lIAPPIIEBS PREVENT PEPTIC ULCER

why is it that clinics in the cities

of the West and South of the United States show better results than the groups of excellent surgeons in New York and Reine, Italy, in the treat- ment of peptic ulcer-ulcer of the stomach and first part of the small intestine? The explanation, according to Dr. Witten B. Russ, is that the people of New York and Rome live under a more severe strain than those in smaller or less busy places.

Also it is the thin high strung

ziervuus type, not those who are thick, iicavy set. with protruding abdomens, who usually have ulcer. “Experience and. common sense both sceni to point to the conclu- sion that tho mystery connected with the cause and behavlor- of pep- tic ulcer is in some way connected wit lithe patients nervous organiza- lion and his physical make-up.’ Iii iiicsc thin nervous individuals WllO are what might be called pre- disposed to peptic ulcer, (that is they are more apt to have it) there is ample evidence that emotional sii'aiii,‘o\'cr\v0i'k, infections, tobacco, alcohol, dict. and all the rest, cause ulcers to develop, or to occur again after having healed up for a while. Other iypcs of individuals who are nut predisposed to peptic ulcer, may unticrgu all the above condi- vicns-cmotional strain, infections, overwork-and may have an absol- utc iircakdouni in health but rarely, it cvcr, have a peptic ulcer.

This is the reason that. many of these peptic ulcer patients become so discouraged. They undergo medi- cal treatmcnt—diet and nlkalies- for a number of weeks, the ulcer heals, and they are naturally much pleased. They then go back to the cares of life, again undergo the strain and stress, and the ulcer re- turns. In desperation they may undergo operation for removel of the ulcer, and with it a portion of the stomach, only to have the symp- toms return again, once they re- suinc their old manner of life.
