WATCHING OUR RIVALS

VEN our Liberal friends are be- ginning to show some anxiety regarding the activities in the Unit- ed States over the tariff question. The United States Farmers are de- termined to shut out all foreign competition with their products. and their Government will no doubt fall in with their wishes in this respect. President Hoover was elected largely on the promise to give the farmers

al editorial comments by The Char- lottetown Guardian and the Halifax slerald on this subject, the Toronto paper points out that the United States tariff law provides that whenever the President, 110011 miles‘ ligation of the differences in costs of production of articles the growth or product of the United States and of like or similar articles the growth or product of competing forelsn countries, finds it thereby shown that the duties fixed in ole Act do not eqllaliie suchdifferences he shall as- certain the diiferences and determine and proclaim a rate of duty which will equalize the same. And that the President frequently does. But the Ottawa Government will do no- thing to prevent the dumping of New Zealand butter into Canada, al- though it is produced under vastly different conditions.

The McKenzie King Governmentis well aware of the flexible nature of the United States tarifl’. In the hands of the President the tariff is adjustable on a hair-trigger princi- ple, to be moved up or down at a moment's notice when necessity de- mands it. Yet the King Government is doing nothing to prevent Canad- ian industry and Canadian agricul- ture being shot to pieces by foreign competition, and the supporters of the government have not the cour- age to suggest the only remedy there is. How long will the people of Canada tolerate this condition of affairs?

BRITISH JUSTICE

ANOTHER fine example oi crimin-

al law enforcement in England, says the Ottawa Journal, is the case, recently reported, of the mother-in- law of. two peers found guilty of sell- ing liquor illegally at a night club and conspiring with a policeman to “get away with it," who has been sent to prison for 15 months at hard labor, her manager the same, and the policeman to i8 months, a fine of $10,000, and the costs of the pro- secution. It was all done in a smooth and orderly manner as an item in the day's business, at Old Bailey, and already the three culprits are con-

greater protection and the matter is engaging the attention of Con- gress. -

The United States Government is perfectly justified in protecting the interests of its people. It is raising tarifl barriers against all foreign competition. Its tariff wall against Canada is already so high that but

vlcts started on their term of im- prisonment with positively no pros- pect of anybodys time being taken up further with appeals and writs and subpoenas and what not. Law- yers ln the United States must weep at the way in which their brethren in England let slip by such splendid opportunities for making money. A

little of our produce, agricultural or industrial, flnds its way across. This may be unnelghborly, but it must be remembered that there is no senti- iiient in trade, and neighborllness does not demand the sacrifice of dol- lars and cents in business.

' The United States tariff wall is Intended to hold the home market for the people of the United States’! and enable them by mass production; to exploit the markets of the world.’ Canada‘ has felt the weight of this

aiploitation in the past several years. It has also felt that directly or in- directly the United States is influ- encing the Canadian Government to hep its tariff wall sufliclently low to enable the surplus over-flow of the United States to pour into our mar- um Canadians, regardless of party politics. N‘! beginning to realize this ‘cos-sided relationship with the Un- ited States. The coming session of Parliament, which opens on Thurs- dsy, will no doubt throw new light the situation, and cur people will do well to watch the proceedings

gress of 0384100000 ought to show, better than any requests to Canada. how sincere the United States is in enforcement, the statement was re- .~elved by the local Liberal organ wlul the usual courtesics it extends towards those who difler from any opinion to which thw oracle has committed itself. The statement, in short, was denounced as “canned propaganda," "without ‘oundation from stem to stern." A few other characteristically pleasant remarks were thrown in, all professing to correct the "misrepresentations" of tho morning contemporary. Since the facts have now been published by the Canadian Press in a news des- patch from Washington dated Jan. 31st, it might be interesting to check up on the lnfonnation to hand. The subject matter is one which con- cerns the United States entirely, but the charge, in the local Liberal or- gan. that The Guardian had misrep- resented the facts is one which our readers might be interested in inves- tigating for themsel ca.

In the .Cana.dian Press despatcla above referred to it is stated that in “the main estimates of Congress an appropriation of about $14,000,000 was made for the cxpenses of en- forcing prohibition for the next fis- cal year. In committee hearings, however, "Dr. George Doran, Com- missioner of Prohibition, admitted under cross-examination that his de- partment could not hope to dry up the United States with that much money, to spend. He said, rather vaguely, that it would probably take about $300,000,000 to provide enough police to patrol the Canadian bor- der and the sea coasts and to pro- vide courts and Judges to hear all the cases."

“The remark," continues the Can- adian Press, "was made in the course of a rather academic discussion, and Doran obviously did not mean to be taken at ms word wmllu a few weeks." But shortly afterward Sen- ator Bruce of Maryland casually proposed an amendment to the esti- mates when they were‘ in Committee of the Whole in the Senate, and the amendment was adopted by a spar- sclyatlonded and inattentive House. “The Senate woke up to find that it had voted an extra $270,000,000 for prohibition enforcement next year." It was taken as a joke, and before the bill passed third reading the am- endment was taken out, but only at the cost of the acceptance of a sub- stitute amendment, which increased thc appropriation for prohibition en. forcement by $24,000,000. - "The larger increase had provoked an indulgent smile from the Cabinet Minister in charge of prohibition, Andrew Mellon. It was too ridiculous to be taken seriously. But when Senator Harris, from the dry South, started to demand that the dry squad be increased and persuaded the Senate to vote $24,000,000 for that purpose, Mellon came out into the open. For the first time in the mem- ory of Washington p- ‘itlclans a Cab- inet Mlnister refused to take a lug. er appropriation of money for the work ‘of his department. Mellon pointed out that the machinery of prohibition enforcement could onlybe built by degrees."

The debate which followed ended "H"! In a riot. "Democrats shouted

. Edmund Burke's Isl-centenary which occurred a few days ago has been celebrated mainly by articles in literary magazines, and so far as we know the British parliament has not paused in its labors to offer a. tribute to one of the greatest men who ever sat in the House. Though Burke never held hi!!! Office, ll- seems probable that he influenced parliamentarians who followed him to a greater extent than any marl before him or since. Rohertj-lynd says that he is as high among Eng- lish orators as Shakespear is among English dramatists, which, of course is to put him first and the rest no- where. let his oratoryhad tbclfatal effect of boring those who were exposed to it. l-le was called the dinner bell of the-House of Comm- ons, for when he began to speak it was the custom of the rest of the members to walk out on him and leave him flat. Seeing such a pro- cession one day a visitor inquired "is the House up itben?" And the answer was “no, but Burke is." l-le was far from being an entertaining speaker. Dr. Johnson one of his warmest admirers, said that he had never heard Burke make a good joke.

WHEN REST MEANS LIFE ITSELF

I visited a tuberculosis sanitarium some weeks ago and had a chat with an cxchamplon amateur boxer who was a bed patient.

Ho informed me quite calmly that he would be in bed for two years any- way, would then be an up patient for some months, and finally would be a "cure" and able to get back home and take up some light form of employ- merit.

In other words although fresh air and the best of nourishing food are big factors in curing tuberculosis, rest. absolute rest, is the most impflrtant. Because when the condition is act- ive, although fresh air is beneficial and food gives strength, the absolute reetpf the body in the lying down position gives the affected lung a chance to get ahead of the conditions. whereas where exercise is taken the lung cannot heal.

This is the reason that gas is some- times injected to make pressure against an affected lung, so that it cannot expand, and thus it must rest and gets a real chance to heal.

This method is used on the very serious cases and often saves many months of time in curing the condi- tlon.

Dr. Rlst of Paris compares 759 cases treated by this gas pressure method (artificial pneumothorax), with 16B cases which were in the same condi- tion» but refused trofltlfleflt 01‘ 115d adhesions which prevented the use of the gas pressure treatment-

There were 30 per cent of deaths among these treated cases as com- pared with 54 per cent among those untreated. '

There were 52 per cent of the treat- ed cases leading normal lives, as against none among $11056 Wh° Te‘ fused the treatment.

The lesson of course is that in $11959 lung conditions absolute rest until all active symptoms have subsided is the biggest part of the treatment. After this, fresh all‘ is next in imPOTtB-mm and Dr. C. H. Vrooman, of Vancouver, reminds us that results show that cures can be obtained just asreadily at seal level ‘in Enlldnd. =5 111 the mountains of swlucerland: that the results in Canada areouitc as good all in California.

And the other essential-good food —can be obtained as readily one D1306 as in another.

All of which means that if the tuberculosis patient is willing, as was my friend the boxer," to settle his mind to the fact that he had a long slow job ahead of him, that a. curs is almost a certainty.

An Irishman Without Wit.

Piticd against the wits of the House he made a sorry showing. His only source was to insult them in majestic language, andrnore than once hedcompared his interrupters with howling dogs. Probably it was his contempt for political opponents and friends too, which -lent him the airs which they found insufferable. And there can be little doubt that his essential humorlessness was one of his most valuable characteristics. He was, intensly serious about every- thing and while ribald members of parliament might clap their hands over there ears and make for the exit when he arose no man before or since ever made speeches in the British House of Commons which were so eagerly read outside, and which made such a profound im- presslon upon the readers. It was Burke who solidified English sent- iment in favor of the American war of Independence. It was Burke who turned British sentiment against the French Revolution. Morever Burke had a complete system of political philosophy with which he was al- ways ulnslstent, and if it is to be described in one word one might call itwcopservatism with reform.

Conservatism and Reform.

The two passions were equally bal- anced in him, and that is why he found himself at ono time in full accord with Conservative; and at another in full harmony with re- formers. Naturally enough the party which he seemed "for the moment to be desertlng had nothing harsh enough to say about him. He was a puzzle. Perhaps half the people in England thought him a kind of mad- man. I-fe was a difficult man to work with, and this was perhaps due as much to the fact that his prin- ciples were generally beyond the comprehension of most of, his collea- sues as lo his intellectual arrogance. If he was the supreme orator that Mr. Lynd supposes, then never did an orator succeed in the face of worse handicaps. He talked to much and he talked to long. He was con- sumed with a mania for talk. Even at a dinner table if the man on one side~ of him was saying something. Burke would raise his voice so that it could be heard at the other end of the table and talk about something else. His gestures were crude. Ha had an unpleasant Irish accent. But these defects, visible or audible to the eye or ear of those in the House, did not offend those who read his printed speeches. In them he rose to heights of poetry and of very great poetry. In that memorablg passage on Mary Anto- innetio there are phrases that can- not be read without a thrill. When he spoke of that "chastity of honor" that feels “a stain like a wound," hewasusimwordswlthaflhake- spcarean magic and with a nobility thatishardlytobe matched in English prose.

Kid Rockefeller Vs. Battling Ste-Wart

(By J. V. McAree in The Toronto Ill-l and EmplN)

Those who have read Ida Tell-WIT‘ history of the Standard Oil Complny. in which it appeared that the com- pany. was built up by methods M PIP- acious, coldblooded and deyldlll l! ever ‘tended the creation of a busi- ness enterprise, may be somewhat all- tonisbcd to see the Rockcfcllers Plly- m; tlic role of Don Quixote in the fight against Col. Robert Stewart. president of the Standard Oil Com- pally of Indiana. But they will have overlooked the fact that for a. Boner- atlon or more Rockefeller. Sr. h”! been distinguished, not so much for the amassing of a huge fortune as for the benevolent distribution of it, and that his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.._ was not responsible for any of thef ancient and now repudiated practice! which once made the Standard Oil Company the very spit and likeness. of a devouring octopus. Both the, Rockefellers are religious "men and‘ have taken active personal interest in , furthering various uplift causes. The son teaches or has tauaht a crest Bible class, and his various moraliz- ings are perhaps the most tasty with which the newspaper reader has bo- comc familiar.
