Spending The Money

The Finailcial Post has been analyzing the financial record of tlle Ring tiovernment, with significant rcsillts. lt finds that ill the past three years the tioierillili-iil has been silelldillg the taxpaycls lllllllt'_\' at lhe llslfelllltllllfill rate of five liilllilrcll and lllll'l_\' lllilliolls zillnuzllly’, 17.x- cept for the \\';lr period, lljLl-JO, these are the must tXlfilrllLllllll Llllllllla’ of iliolley tliruilgh fed- eral channels that thi- country has ever counten-

allccd. 'l'bc_\' lll\'.lll all expelldilllre of at lczlst $230 per day for every wage-earlier ivlio was Elll]7lu_\'t‘ll dining ilyit period. 11' fartiicrs. clu- l)l(I_\L'l'> and lilo-e working profiizihly on their owll zlccoililt were inrhlded, it aulounts to sortie-

where lll‘i\\l‘i'll $150 and S100 per person.

Analysing" the growth of this expenditure ult- der iliffilrent clzlssificrltious, the Post finds a steady and zllirniiitg increase in the out-of-poc- kct expenses of running the ordinary machinery of government. Bil-called ordinary expenditures have risen ouv-thiril since 19:9. Since 1918 they have increzlscil 114 per ccut, this despite the fact that the .-lbili1_v of taxpayers to nicct thcsc inlposts (ulezl-ilrerl ili terms of national iticoluc.) has been but two-thirds of what it was in I918 and Iozfi.

Comparing these “ordinary” expenditures with four years zigo, there has been an increase of Soyoticiooo, or 3i.5 pcr cent.

Some of the most striking increases are the sharply higher costs of riluning a. number of government offices. in many cases this actual dollars and cents outlay is not large blit the per- centage rise in four years is startling. These figures are lpiotcd from .\Ir. Dunnings budget lpccch of two wccks ago:

There are few, if any, items in this list which are not strictly “conlrollalllcf Yet llic Govern- ment shows little or no (llSllOSlllOll to exercise control. The zihility of Canada to increase and maintain its tiatiolial inconte is being under- mined by an increasingly expensive and expan- sive governmental titachiile which shows neither willingness nor :ibility' to contract the sphere or cost of its operations_

Nothing. says the Financial Post, will pro- mote Confidence and increase the national pro~ ductivitv more than a lowering of the tax biir- den on industry and individuals. Yct the budget of Mr. King's Government shows little or no inclination that this is realized.

Penitentiary Reform Bill

Chief provision in the Petiitelitiarics Reform Bill which the Senate refused to pass last week, in the (lying hours of the session, was luachiilcry for suhslitiuillg a three-man hoard of colttrol, in place of a snperintcitilcnt. In the Colntiioiis, where the hill lll'1)\'l>l.t'1l a lively discussion, llon. Ernest Lapoiille, .\liili~ter of Justice, admitted with regard lo the l'cliitclltiaries Royal Colu- mission that he did not agree with “sonle" of their reconlnn-ildatiius, and had "grave doubts‘ about many olhcrs." llc did not accept thc ad- vicg of the (fiilllnli-sion that the sliperilltclldeiii, General (lrniond, "should be llllllll‘lll.'\l(‘l>\‘ retir-

Mr. \\"illiams suggests that somebody in Canada must have passed the hint to London; perhaps it was Lady Head, whose painting of the view from the Barrack Hill is said to have inspired Queen Victoria to choose Ottawa as the Capital.

.\Ir. \Villiams closes with a note of regret at the absence nowadays of those religious ser- viceswhich ilscd to be held on the morning of Dominion Day. For years after Confederation, he recalls, it was the custom to have services in the churches, when thanks were given for blcss- ings received and prayers said for protection and glllClZlllC€ in the year to come. Anglicans, Ro- man Catholics ancl Prcsbyterians in those days never failed to open the national birthday with prayler and praise (the services were short but communal) and in many sections Dominion Day was chosen for Methodist ‘camp meetings. The Pra_vcr Book of the Church of England in Can- ada contains a lovely service for Dominion Day. lts Psalm is the seventy-second, from which llon. Leonard Tillcy is said to have been inspir- cd to suggest the name “Dominion" for the rlew nation, instead of the “Kingdom of Canada."

Scientific research WOfk by three Canadian industrial chemists has resulted in a new discov- cry which, it is believed, will be of considerable importance to the pulp and paper indtlstry of this and other countries. Announcement is made that a process had rcccntly been perfected by which fine-goalie papers could profitably be made from the prunings of fruit trees and forest “slash", until the present time regarded as value- lcss materials. According to Messrs. H. R. Peter- son, Mr. j. Hart and T. L. Crosslcyq of Toronto, who have spent the past two years investigating the question, not only can fine grades of paper be made from these prunings, but the quantity available is sufficient to warrant the erection of pulp and paper mills of considerable totinagc

capacity. Lines to be produced will include book, coated, magazine, tissue and cigarette papers,

An Island parson, Rev. Dr. Sydney BonnclL. New York, and an Island physician, Dr. David MacKcnzie, Montreal, joined hands in urging that psychology playapart in curing mankind of his ailments. The former says a sinner can be saved by apsychological parson, and the latter says a sick man may be cured by a. psychological family doctor. Addressing a meeting of medical practitioners in Quebec, Dr. David hlacKcnzie said: -— “Many of man's ills come from within, not without and diag- nosis has become not merely a scien- tific examination but a psychological process.” hVliile present-day medicine was at the disposal of the patient with an accuhliulation of knowl- edge greater than medicine at any time ever possessed, it is “increasingly ol‘ i ‘hat like- ivise as iicvcr before, emphasis placed upon the more complete use "l of knowledge," said Dr. .\lacl{ei our practice, we need to rcniemlvl

IIOTES BY TllE WAY

On the heel: of a Canadian Government order prohibiting the export of Eskimo and Indian an- tiquities from the North West Ter- ritories without sanction, and as. serting a prior right. to all such articles as are unearthed for na- tional useums, comes the 9n- iouncement that tables are

being turned, as it were, in the im- portation of relics from Emgland to grace a chruch at Al: vik.

The sort of story I don't like to read in the papers is that which told about the precautions the New York police had to take to protect President Roosevelt. The President, in this case, wasn't visiting the city. He was merely sailing around it in his yacht, the Potomac. But in so doing he hnd to pass under all the bridges over the East river, beginning with the new Triborough Bridge and ending with the Brook- lyn Bridge, then round the Bat- tery and sail up the Hudson under the Washington Bridge. All these bridges are regularly policed, of course. but at each of them extra men had to be stationed for the Presidential passage. When the yacht hove in sight-preceded, in- cidentally, by a police launch which signaled the men 0n the bridges—all traffic was stopped. then allowed to proceed slowly and in driblets until the Potomac was safely past, I suppose the police were thinking about bombs be- ing dropped from above and so I naturally commend their caution. But all the same it seems sad that so much trouble should have to be taken and so many people inconvenienced. It's an unpleasant world. -—Baltimore Sun.

The newly-appointed Minister for Sweden took up his duties officially last week. He is Mr. Bjorn Gustaf Prytz, ant; he suc- ceeds Baron Palmstierna. Mr. Prytz is no stranger to London. He is. in fact , an old Dulwich College boy. He was eleven years old when he went to the famous South London school, and he ac- quitted himself well on the mod- ern language side, as befltted a.

future distinguished diplomat. After leaving Dulwich twelve years before the war, Mr. Prytz

lived in Sweden, returning to this country only on occasional holiday visits. After the Kreuger smash oc- curred, Mr. Prytz was the business man called in by the Swedish Government to reorganize the match industry, which is one of the big commercial enterprises of Sweden. He is quite happy to be back in London again, and de- clares thet his schcol memories are happy ones. in spite of school- boy prejudices against a name like his. His chief academic distinction at Dulwich was winning a prize by an essay on Hereward the Wake. That shows at any rate that the new Swedish Minister is in sym- pathy with the vcry spirit. of Anzlo-Saxon England-The Jour- nal's London Letter.

The benefits that accoue to boys from Scout training are apparent to those who have come in contact with the Association and the con- tributiun that it makes towards the building up of self-reliance and good character have been endors- ed from the highest to the lowest in the lands where it has taken root. “At least one good turn every day" is the Scout law and when one pauses to consider the potential force for good that hundreds of thousands of boys obeying that rule can be each day. the thought is staggering. Different from the mllitarized youth organization to be found under some dictatorshlps. the Scout movement is not con- cerned with military aims.

FITTING FEET FOR. LIFE

One of the helpful things that was learned during the examina- tion of recruits for overseas serv- ice was the importance of having normal feet-free from pain and discomfort. One may have brains and ambition, but to be unable to be about among others because of painful feet not only interferes with business and social progress but constant nagging of the nerves affects the general health and happiness of the individual.

As most of these were young men who were presenting them- selves for service. it can be seen that their foot defects were not due to any heavy work that was being placed upon them but be- cause as little children and later as growing boys in their ‘teens. proper footwear was not provided by their loving but thoughtless parents; the narrow ‘trim’ shoe for growing boys and girls did not allow the proper width for the growing feet.

In writing on the subject ‘Flt- ting The Feet For Life.’ Beulah France, in l-Iygela, states:

"Nor are teen age younizsters the only ones who are guilty of foot indiscretions. While college girls and boys show sense about shoes as a. rule, graduates who enter business leave foot fitness behind them. Men as well as wo- rnen suffer all too needlessly from hammel-toes, calluses, corns, bun- ions, and ingrowing toenails due to ill fitting shoes. It is difficult. to understand why a woman is will- ing to ruin her posture, her gait, her facial expression and her out- look on life by wearing uncomfort- able shoes. Many an impatient gesture, many a harsh word spok- en, many a lined and wrinkled gees, may be traced to the owner's e8 ..

It you have any foot defects, common sense should take you to an orthopedic physician who can give you ‘safe and scientific ad- V68.

Walk correctly. Do not toe either out or in. but straight ahead. If you cannot do this. your doctor will tell you whether he advises u. leather lift on one side of your shoe's heels, or whether he would ipegest some other form of correc-

on. -

If you have no fcot defects or dlscomforts. keel? conditions that wav by wearing shoes wide and long enough for your feet. keep soles and heels from runninlz over bv solinz and heellniz repairs be- fore they become absolutely neces- sary.

SERVICE AT CALEDONIA

Bin-On Sabbath July 3rd. it was my privilege as one o! many to so to Caledonia, that old his- ~ tcrlc Church. At 9.30 a. m., people

besan to wend their way, and at 10 a. m., the Church was full, at eleven the appointed hour for ser- vloe there were three church fulls, so all had to vacate the church and go outside where on satui-da they had prepared for a crow . After the mornin service the peo- ple returned to e Church, which was filled to capacity, where

artook of the Sacrament of the

115's Supper. The evening service which began at five was again so largely attended that it. had to be held outside, where a multitude of

eople, young and old listened to ha man of God, the Rev. Alex- ander Murray, who preached two Gospel sermons from Galatians 6 verse l4. "God forbid that I should glory save in the Cross of Christ". and 1n the evening Matthew 2'1, verse 22, "Pilate saith unto them what shall I do with Jesus which is called Christ.” And as the sum- mer breezes floated throulzh the trees, so the Holy Spirit fell upon the people and many were seen in tears. I am glad to learn that the Rev. Mr. Murray will address the midweek service in Zion Church on July 13.

Sin-In Saturday's Guardian, in- stead of rejoicing over the fact that the Federal Liberal Party has of late seen light in the matter of CHSIOms Tariff protection, you critriclze them for having chang- ed their policy since the last elec- tion. Surely you do not want the Government of Canada to continue to whack a. dead horse, simply be- cause in the past they have been foolish enough to ride it w death, "Free Trade as they have it in England” was Lauriefs war cry in 1896. and he was in earnest too, but Mr. Fielding him not been Fin- ance Minister two years before he had Riven Canada the hi best ous- iDfILS tariff up to that ime, and every Liberal Government s'noe then has followed his example. Low tariff or even free e may be a winnin election cry, simply because hoi oi have never studied the inevitable consequences of such e. Policy, but once in er, and with the res nsibility o government on their s ouldeis, no Government, whether Liberal or Conservative, would be so .00lha.rd as to throw the workers of Cane to the wol- ves, for that ls what would happen if imports were admitted free of duty from lower wa e countries cr countries where fac ry mass- ro- ductng 1s on a greater scale t an in Canada. What has misled many Canad- iany-particularly those who emi- rated from the Mother Country- as been the fact that Great Bri- taln prospered under a free trade policy during the second half of the 9th centur . but. these people fail- ed to realze that conditions in Enllland at that tfime were entire- 1y different from those in Canada. today. There were four outstanding
