runny, iuiicn c, 1m Mr. King's Sophistry

An extraordinary reason has been advanced by Prime Minister KING for ignoring the voice of Parliament altogether so far as ratification of the U. S.-Canada treaty is concerned. Speaking the other day in the House of Commons, he said: “This government came back with a man- date from the people of Canada to put through a reciprocal agreement at the earliest possible moment So far as asking the approval of this House is concerned, I regard that in some res- pects as an almost unnecessary step, the country itself has‘ given so overwhelming an expression of approval of its confidence in a reciprocal agreement with the United States to be negoti- ated by a Liberal administration.” _

The fact is that reciprocity with the United States was not specifically mentioned at all in the Liberal party platform, and that at no time did Mr. KING raise, as an election issue, the question of concluding such an zigreement “at the earliest possible moment." Negotiations had been going on for several months between the ROOSEVELT and BENNETT administrations, and the question, so far as it was made an election issue at all, concerned the nature of the terms. Since the treaty did not conie into effect until the first of the present year, a few weeks more or less spent in negotiating fairer terms so far as Canada \vas concerned would have been offset by no disadvantage whatever.

The mandate Mr. KING received was to ne- gotiate on fair and equitable terms, protecting at all costs the interests of Canadian basis pro- ducers, such as our farmers and fishermen. This he failed to do. lt is useless now for him to ad- vance the sopliistry that he was pledged immed- iately to sign a treaty, good, bad or indifferent. and that this pledge relieves his Government of the responsibility of obtaining the approval of Parliament.

American Tributes

Remarkable tributes to the British Elnpire find its ruler are paid in two articles appearing 1" a United States magazine of recent date. In the first of these articles the writer contrasts the Empire of GEORGE the Fifth and EDWARD the Eighth with those which were ruled by Aurx. ANDER, the CAESARS and NAPOLEON and with those which aredoiiiinated by the new dictators of the present time. The message of this inod- em Empire “breathes a new way of life, of chance and change into the far places of the 113ml. among the teeming millions of ‘little peo- ple’ to whom change and chance have been meaningless catch phrases. . . _ A new voice of new neghborliness wings its flight around the world, knitting stronger the ties of an Empire WhOSB kingdom shall have no end.”

The second American writer quotes the motto “I Serve" which animated EDWARD the Eighth while he was Prince of \Valcs, adding: ~ Because of that deep desire to serve, not rule, your reigning House of Windsor stands secure amid the ashes of burnt-out Empires.” Having in mind the new King's long and devoted efforts to improve the lot of the iinder-privileged in the United Kingdom,‘ our American friend calls King EDWARD the Prince of Destiny, and sug- gests that he is the one man who can save civili- zation from plunging to senseless catastrophe. {The writer asserts that the King holds the trust of the nations, thatihe is international, that his

lden touch reaches to the far fringes of the est frontiers. “You have the faith of the human race ouch as honors no other living man. You can lead a crusade whose effect will abide with Cal- wary. .- ~. . You took the world by storm before Ind it is still yours. Now its peoples are again at your feet—but this time in supplication. Do not doubt your success. You learned the world's problems while you earned the love and respect of its millions. No world figure can so sensitively 3feel the pulse of the common people. No states- man can so swiftly sense the moods of the masses No orator can sway the listeners as you did when you wrung England's heart in your appeal for the stifled slum dwellers. Do not doubt your power. It is given to you by the suf- fering peoples of the earth, out of a welter of tears and tragedies. What power can match that compelling force?” This. United States writer, still addressing the King says : You were with the Canadian corps that. ndrouo Mona morning when the guns fell otill and that strange silence dropped over the ltrleken fields. Your eyes ‘machining. But it was not. the gloat oi victory. It wu the pro- mise in the chiming of the bells. . . . I saw you kiss that mutilated horror that once was one oi your father's heroic men at arms. I knew you haduesoived anew that war should not come again. . . It. was in this aftermath oi anguish that you dedicated your life to the ser- vice of your fellow men, without reserve. full out, so that. old comrades laid you were the Soul 01 the IAIIOII and coiled ybil the Pllkkl Prince. You lighted lamps of romunbrance at the (not oonchve of Too H in the pregnant. dark and cathedral hush oi o neat, lull. One byone yourtoperlit thclamp: withoilmie oterno . . . . And now u our Prince of Destiny (If the Irfihlt adventure lllib! the Star stood our Bethlehem you can lioht the torches of eniigiilcnmmtthuwilieroaeiheahldows oi door from the dork corners of u dread-driven universe.

The writer also reminds the King of the flooding acclaim and thundering salutes that mt: him when he was the world's Prince

ing. He recalls Prince Charmings saying

that the peace of the world depends-upon the ‘friendly association of the two great English- ilpealcing peoples. Toward the close of this re- ' moi-liable apostrophe-the American writer says: "'l‘iie 31mm and defeltld, the disparate and t... in i?“ "°"";'i'.’, "l?

Your words of command come over the ether to a cheering host. Your invincible force lies in the power of your presence." And behind that again is the age-long prestige of the British monarchy.

5K It fi Prime Minister KING waxed eloquently in- dignant at the speech of Commandatore Pzriwcci, Italian Consul General at Ottawa on the occasion of a luncheon of the Italian Cham- ber of Commerce. Really there was nothing to justify the outburst. This is a free country, per- mitting free speech, and the Consul was address- ing his compatriots in the presence of reporters. He carefully avoided the oil sanctions which M1‘- KiNG himself botched, and discussed the League of Nations, as he had a perfect right to do, it being an international and not national question. The worst thing the Commandatore said about the League was this: “The principal endeavor of the league ha! been and still is to maintain the status quo in the political and economic state of the world. It has done nothing to improve the economic situation, excepting the preparation of a certain number of publications which had no other effect than to justify the presence at Gen- eva of well-paid directors and attractive steno- s." -

Commenting on the statement of Hon. HH. Stevens, Reconstruction Party head in the House of Commons, regarding alleged deception in tin can containers, Canadian Grocer points out that it is conceded among caiiners and members of the wholesale and retail trades that there should be nwre uniformity but that there are many difficulties in the way. It says there are few complaints that canners are actually attempt-

. irig to deceive the public. Usually when an odd-

sized container is used, it is for a definite pur-

se. Canners have to take into consideration the price, saleability of each particular product they pack and the number of servings per tin. For instance, they can't put canned chicken in a No, a can nor isiit advisable to use a can for pineapple rings if there is a big space between the pineapple and the tin. The present govern- ment regulations provide for certain standard- ized ‘tin cans and if others are used the packer must show the weight of the contents on the label u a protection for the ublic.

FAT FOODS AND THE GALL BLADDER

When the liver and gall bladder are inflamed or upset and there is that "slcky" feeling with or without vomiting, and headache, one of the first foods that the patient feels he can't eat is fat of any kind.‘

Now ii the gall bladder 1a to be kept healthy and empty itself re:- ularly the best way to do it is by eating fat-butter, cream, fat meat, egg yolks-regularly. Thus fat is a good food when the liver and gall bladder are in the normal condi- tion, but add insult to injury when liver and gull bladder are upset. However the fact that the gall bladder is upset is likely duo to the fact that too much rich fat food him been eaten and it. has had too much to do. Unfortunately when too much rich food has been‘ eaten it is usually the case that little or no exercise has been trken. And it is exercise any movement oi the middle part or trunk of the body, that helps to keep liver and gall bladder active.

One oi the reasons that it is be- lleved that the liver and gall blad- der are at fault in train or sea sick- ness is that fat. foods or rich des- serts are particularly objectionable to the sufferer.

Thus the thought in acute cases of gall bladder disturbance is to

If Canada. should borrow two hundred million bushels of wheat from Great Britain, that would be front page news, tliilllllg for large head-‘lnes.

4o nearly everywhere now the old ntshioned Epsom salt—magnesium nilphuie-is being used with good effects.

Until recently it, was customary to give ii couple of grains of calomel, ioliowed ilve or six hours later with Epsom salts in all these "billous" cases. The caloinei 1n the ease of adults was divided into one-quarter grain doses, a dose every hour for eight hours; followed the next morning by a dose of Epsom salts. With children u smaller total dose was given in one-tenth grain doses.

Some years ago 'a method oi draining the gall bladder was being used whereby o. small tube was put down the throat, and allowed to gently lmss along through the stomach to the small intestine. 121i- som salts in solution were poured down the tube and a few minutes luterthe individual laid down with his head low, and the salts and bile emptied from his gall bladder flow- ed out of the tube.

This method is not used as much now as it has been found that simp- ly taking the Epsom salts by mouth is sufficient.
