Considering the contracted rev- enues of the Dominion, this is a pretty generous programme of im- plemented pledges tn a little over a single your, and is fair warrant for the expectation that all the major undertakings given to the people by the present Prime Minister will be carried out scrupulously during the lifetime of the present Parliament. Turning now to lvlr. King's own promises and pcrformsnces, a colos- sal record of broken public faith is all that a survey of his eight years in office reveals.

Him-c wars promise to be simply wholesale massacres, in which bombs will rain indscrimtnately iupon soldiers and civilians, men, Wvomcn and» children, the young and the old, the strong and the sick and crippled.

APPENDICITIS

I often think that one of the hardest problems that faces the family doctor is just what to do when he is called to the home and ,Ilnds that the Persistent stomach ache of the patient is really ap- pendicitis.

Now what he would like to do, what is really the most scientific i, thing to do, what will be the safest

thing, and what will bring him most credit, is to have the patient trans- ferred to the hospital and undergo immediate operation.

The doctor knows all this, and yet he doesn't always do It.

Why?

Because he knows it will cost the family considerable money for sur- geon, anaesthetist, hospital care, nurses, and so forth.

But isn't it better to save the life even if it does cost hundreds of dol- lars?

Yes, but the doctor knows also that moot cases of appendicitis get better without an operation, and so he waits till he finds that this par- ticular case is not doing so. In con- ‘scquence he may cause the patient to remain many weeks in bed, or actually to lose his life.

While he ls waiting for the case to make the favorable turn, which it docs in most cases, peritonltiq may be developing and then life it- self is in the balance.

You can thus see the terrible res- ponsibility that is put upon the physician. Thousands of cases of appendicitis recover from the first

He promised to do away with the Canadian Ztfcrchnnt Marine, and added to the number of its ship, as well as to its operating deficits.

On his visit to Sydney in 1921, he promised protection to the coal and steerindustrics, and when in omce reduced the coal duty from 53 to 50 cents, rebatcd the entire tariff on coal entering Canada for general coking purposes, placed steel bars hand billets on the free list when imported for certain manufacturing processes, and sow the Dominion Steel industry pass into the hands of a receiver before he had been 5 years in oflice.

and never introduced a. line of legis- lation, or presented n. single pro- posal to Parliament, in pursuance of his pledge.

Finally, after whittllng away at the tariff almost every year for '1 years, denouncing protection but not daring to carry out his pledge for its elimination, professing that his ultimate aim was to get the tariff down to the level demanded by his Progressive allies, he made a sudden right-about-facc on the eve of the 1930 election, established counter-vailing duties against the United States, increased tariff items he had previously reduced, and ap- pealed to the country on an alleg- ed protective policy, which included the abrogation of the New Zcaland trade treaty he had himself negoti- ated, executed, and defended.

Such is the general record of the public man who “can never forgive Mr. Bennett" because of his pre- election pledges. It is the plain truth that no party leader has ever shown such absolute disregard for his solemn public promises as Mr, Mackenzie King. No important pre- election pledge he ever made has been completely carried out. Al- most all that he ever made were completely forgotten. Having been eight years Prime Minister of Can- ada, he stands today before the “unify destitute of anything re- sembliiig a statesmaniikc achieve- ment. or of a single important pub- iic measure of value to thr Domin- ion, nf credit to himself, or of re- TlPPlHl advantage to his party.

There is really only one safe rule, and that is to operate as early as possible once the diagnosis has been definitely made.

Dr. H. Chitty, Bristol, England. reviewing seven hundred cases of acute appendicitis believes that if every person with acute appendi- citis could be operated on during the first twenty-four hours, deaths from this disease could be almost completelyabolished, as at present; time most deaths are due to delay.

The thought then is that while most; cases of appendicitis recover, there are more cases and more deaths than ever before, and there would be practically no death; u operation took place during the first twenty four or even thirty six hour-s. ‘

~ A Wise Decision

(Winnipeg Free Press)

A decision u.’ the Privy Council that will meet with very general approval in Canada is that up- holding the validity of the Security Frauds Prevention Act passed by Alberta, ‘The appellate division of the Alberta. courts declared that the clauses relating to Dominion company were ultra vires. The Privy council, however, has laiid down that these clauses are valid. Ths is good news.

There have been occasions when Privy council decisions strength- ening the hands of the provinces at the expense of tho federal pow- er have been disconcerting to that large body of opinion which be- lievcs the central power should be increased rather than diminished. This case, however, does not fall within that oategory_ Ottawa. has never shown itself favorable to strict control of companies re- ceiving Dominion oharters, and the result was that many abuses, not to say frauds, have been perpetrat- ed by promoters of fiy-by-night schemes which have been operat- ed with impunity due to lack of adequate supervision.

At last the province stepped in, and drastic legislation was intro- duced and passed by Ontario. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, While not exactly uniform, the security Frauds Prevention Acts were unl- fonn enough to make (to-operation and control easy over this large and important area of the Domin- ion. The Manitoba act, well en- forced and uphold, undoubtedly did much to check some of the .worst abuses which crept into the mu. ketiin: of securities during the last couple of you: of the boom.
