Flagrant Partisan Appeal

There seems no doubt, from the revelations made in the House of Commons on April 25,

that the Federal Defense Minister, Hon. Ian-

Mackenzie, \\'as guilty of making a. partisan ap- peal in (liscussing the national defense issue in the Victoria. BL- by-elcction czunpziign. One 0f the statements attributed to Mr. Mackenzie was the following:

“He charged that the Conservative regime had wrecked the air force and. had crippled the train- ing of the militia, whose appropriation had been cut from 11 million dollars to 8.8 million dollars, a reduction of 25 per cent, while the air force had been cut from 7.4 million dollars to 1.1 mil- lion dollars, a decrease of ‘l5 per cent."

Thereafter Mr. Mackenzie pointed out that the expenditure on Pacific coast defences under the regime of Mr. Bennett in 1935-36 totalled $1,- 916,116, while the appropriation for 1937-38 un- der the Liberal administration amounts to $8.- 163,188.

“This is an expenditure for defence,” he do- clared, “which has not been equalled from the time of confederation. It must be borne in mind that the coast defence program cannot be com- pleted until 1940. I ask you to remember what we are endeavouring to do, and I am taking this opportunity of requesting the electors of Victoria to approve the policy of defence of this coast when they go to the polls, November 29."

The objection to this flagrant appeal for political purposes was well summed up by Hon. Grote Stirling in the House of Commons. in the first place, the Minister knew that the of- ficial Opposition had indulged in no carping criticism of his defense expenditure, that on the contrary they had assisted him in face of critic- ism from a very considerable number of gov- crnmcnt supporters. Moreover, he knew that conditions under the Bennett regime were total- ly different to those existing today. As a mem- ber of the League of Nations Canada was com- mitted to disarmament- Her defense estimates were prepared year by year under an atmos- phere of disarmament. She did not wish to in- crease her defense expenditure. Indeed, had she done so, it is easy to imagine the speeches which would have been made by Mr. Mackenzie and his leader Mr. King on the subject!

'.\lr_ Sterling recalled the speech with which the Liberal leader opened his federal election campaign in 1935. Mr- King complained that “drill halls and armouries” were being erected all over the country “at heavy cost." “Why P" he asked. “Is it to build up a great military force because all dictatorships demand force and

what comes out of the cannon.”

That was the Liberal view at the beginning of the i935 campaign. Yet within eighteen months Premier King and his Minister of »Dc- fense were preparing estimates for submission

municipality in relation ‘to its individual prob- lems,

-“In discussing the budgetary difficulties of municipalities, it is necessary to recognize that, to a very large extent, they are due to the‘ large amounts municipalities are called upon to pro- vide for relicf- The control of such outlay: is beyond action by the municipalities. There are, of course, individual cases where administration may be lax, and where relief granted Nay be in excess of provincial standards, but it is felt that, even if all abuses were corroded, provision for relief would still be a major ‘source of municipal budgetary difficulties. It is necessary to rc- cognize also that, apart from provincial “grants- in-aid” for relief or their equivalent, the muni- cipalities have been given no additional source of revenue with which to meet this new and heavy expenditure."

Situation Still Hopeless

A souvenir in the shape of a compass has been presented to the Campbell Government. “Al- though of a good old age," says our contempor- ary, “it is in excellent condition" A

We can imagine no more appropriate gift to an administration that is all at sea, and has drifted so far from the port of its election pledges. But of what use is a compass without skill and seamanship, and the wit t_o plug the leaks that have sprung “above and below the water line," as one of the crew so aptly said?

Rt- Hon R_ B. Bennett declared in Toronto the Mother Country was taxing herself white not only for herself but for us, and asked were we not ashamed of ourselves to let her do so. The worst of taxation is that it makes us cal- lous, every prospective taxpayer being ready and eager “to let George do it.”

“Mr, Tim Buck has returned from Russia, his political fatherland, with glowing reports of the success of the Soviet administration. It would be incorrect to say that he would come back with a different story if he had been as active in combating Dictator Stalin as he has been in attacking the political system in Canada- Mr. Buck wouldn't have any story to tell in that case, nor the opportunity of going anywhere to tell it if he had. He would speedily have found him-

Mr- Bennett and his followers in Ottawa have .

generously refrained from criticising the Lib- eral volte face on the armament question. They have thrown their weight behind the govern- ment's efforts, regardless of party considera- tions. This makes all the more inexcusable the Defense lilinisterfis partisan appeal at Victoria, 1nd the motives which inspired it.

Mu nicipal Budgetary Problems

One of the most informative briefs so far submitted to the Rowcll Commission was that of the Dominipn Mortgage and Investments As- sociation, the text of which covers municipal as well as federal and provincial debt and taxa- tion problems. The following statements from the brief on the subject of municipal budgetary difficulties are of general application:

“There is a popular conception that taxes im- posed by municipalities are too high, that they cannot be increased, and that, on the other hand, they must be reduced. Coupled with this popular conception, there is in evidence a per- sistent demand on the part of the general public for more and better municipal and educational services, irrespective of ability to pay for them. Certain types of service have come to be looked upon as absolutely necessary, even when inability to provide them is in evidence- This disinclina- lion on the part of the general public to do with- out or with lesser services so as to reduce ex-

pense to ability tq pay, and in that way achieve a

_ balanced budget within the measure of reason-

, able taxation, is a matter of grave consequence

to Canada, its provinces and their municipalities.

.. There is need of a recognition of the fact that sustained services can be had only so long as ability to pay for them or sound credit are present, and that, in the last analysis, taxation of one kind or another is the only source of in-

come with which to provide services._

“Many municipalities ‘ have ‘endeavoured to continue to provide services on the same scale ls was permitted by higher income, notwith- standing that their mail source of income, name- ly, taxation of real estate, was showing signs of having reached the point of diminishing return.

-» They failed to recognize that if services are to given they must be taxed for.

The Hon- Dr. Manion's stock as prospective Conservative leader is steadily rising. It is ad- mitted that unless some surprising dark horse appears at the last moment, as Mr. Mackenzie King did at the famous Liberal convention at Quebec years ago, Dr. Manion is head and shoulders above all competitors. Senator Meighen gave a luncheon to leading Con- servatives and business executives at the Albany Club, Toronto, on Wednesday when Dr. Manion was freely spoken ‘of as the ‘coming leader.

“One day in the year should be reserved for prayers of thanksgiving in which we give thanks for something that has been granted us; for hav- ing been saved from some great destruction caused by nature or by man.

There ls a large difference in the volume of blood in a perstnfls body during the winter and the summer months, Dr. Henry c. Barrett. Professor of Physiology at the- University of Pennsylvania Medical School. told the emtern section of the American crnqress of Physical Therapy at the Mount Sinai Hospital rsoendy. Dr. Bazett said that his work was the elabora- tion of wonk done curler by sir 5089911 Barcrofit. of Cambridge. England. sir Joseph discovered the change in the volume of blood in the tropics. while Dr. Bazatth preliminary experiments shew that the change of blood-volume also exists in the eastern seaboard area of North America. "An increase in volume of 30 percent (one liter or more) of blood may be attained by exposing a person to heat, within five da/ys." Dr. Bazett said. ‘This increase in volume is accomrtrnied bv the maintenance of a norma‘ serum protein concentration, and the red cells are also increased. ihougih more slowly." Discussing the poslble application of these principles to the pracvce of phy- sical theralpry, Dr. Bazett said that the danger from the loss of fluid through the fever treatment could be lessened if the patipnt was sub- jeot to a milder heat in advance. This wou'd allow his body tr build up a. large blood volume. and the smaller change in temneratum would decrease the amount of wa- icr lost» by sweating.

A writer in the Montreal Star will be open and shi again in says that soon the rt o Montreal full swing, yet quie a good num- ber of ships‘ cooks who have been "on the beach" for the past twp or three seasons are likey to spend another season for the simple rea- son that as o: ore the women are monopolizing e Jobs again, and more so since the wages have ln-_ creased-(thantlts to Mr. Pat Sulli- van and the union). Women who have never set foot on a lake bat before, who have not the faintest idea. of the routines, are now scrambling and doing their damdest to get jobs as cooks and strange to say are being accepted whilst hun- dreds of experienced men are walking about-existing cn "relief" and doomed to another season of disappointment. Now that the union is stronger and the men realize that and are wilii to eo- o and stand by i, surely something shoud be done regard- ing this subject. and it's about time they got a. brake. Women cooks are out of lace on lake boats -—

have to put up with many incon- , fences on account of women cooksnyet the companies still keep them on and continue to hire them. and in many cases the ca/ptclin hires them himself. \

This week's shipment was loaded at various branch clubs through- out the province and were sold to a packing house in Montreal. The

hogs are sold on a rail grade basis." The writer will have to admit.

and as is exprused by many throughout this province, that the management and its secretary, Mr. J. A. Gillies deserve much credit for the progress this (to-operative Marketing Board has made in the past few years.

The Marketing Board should al- ways remembe the motto. "Give credit where credit is due", and not lose sight of the one who got them the bacon market which is none other than the Rf. Hon. R. B. Bennett.
