' "ijuiisnar, iuiwu s. im The Patriot Challenged

. 1 A few days ago it was charged by our local ‘contemporary that certain letters appearing in The Guardian on the subject of the Fourth Prince by-election were not from bona fide cor- respondents but were written in The Guardian

. office. This statement was promptly denied in

these columns, it being pointed out no member of The Guardian staff, from the editor down, is permitted to contribute to the correspondence columns, either anonymously or- otherwise.

We note that in its yesterday issue our contemporary again repeats its allegation, with- out any reference to the denial which The Guardian has made. Several times in the course of a half-column editorial, it seeks to imPICSS thisfalschood on its readers_

Fortunately, the question is one which can easily be settled to the satisfaction of the public.

The Guardian is prepared to contribute $1,000 to the CripplezLC/iildren’: Fund if any of the letters mentioned by the Patriot were written in The Guardian office or by any mem- ber of The Guardian staff, provided that before doing so The Patriot will put up a certified cheque for the some amount ($1,000) to go to the credit of the Crippled Children’: Fund m the event of its statement: being proved un- founded; the letters in question to be submitted in confidence to His Horiour Judge C. G. Duffy.

Dairy Council's Recommendations

The dairy industry of Canada, as repre- sented by the National Dairy Council policy, has gone on‘record as urging the retention of the present tarifl and present currency dumping duties on butter, as well as adherence to the BENNETT Government bonus idea for exports and the necessity of a marketing act for control within the industry. Resolutions to this effect were unanimously passed at the convention in lVinnipcg recently.

Members of the Council, as provided in the constitution and bylaws are half producers and half factory operators. The ' constitution, as amended at the Winnipeg meeting, provides for a membership of 54 divided on the 50-50 basis. Membership includes representatives of national dairy cattle breed associations, milk producers‘ associations, provincial dairy, associations, milk distributors, factory operators and dairy manu- facturers. Its purpose is to serve the industry as a whole; its object to speak for the industry as a unit.

\Vhat the Dairy Council has now asked for is legislation similar in efiect to the Natural Products Marketing Act, if that Act is declared ultra vires, in order that the regulating of the marketing and handling of exportable surpluses of dairy products might be carried out and that the present duties and the present currency dumping duty be retained in order to maintain the volume of dairy production. It has planned in the interval a voluntary export scheme arrang- ed by those in the industry whereby the surplus butter might be removed from the Canadian market during the flush period of production m I936 in order, as it was stated, that fair Cream prices for Canadian dairy farmers might be maintained. The latter plan 1S the hope of the Council for this year only m View of lhe 53¢ that assistance which might be received upder the Marketing Act is doubtful with the decision as to its constitutionality still in the hand-S 05 the Supreme Court. _

The Dairy Council_ recommendations are dlspleasing to the Winnipeg Pree Press (Lib- eral) which says shortly that the policy sug-

ested “is certainly not one that Canada W" afford.” It is to be hoped that the KING Govern- ment will see the matter in a different light. What Canada cannot afford is to allow the dairy industry to be ruined, as it threatens to be if assistance is not continued-

- Federal, State and Civic income and other taxes have become so exacting in the United States that chain stores are beginning to take fright. The JAMES Bv-rum Grocery Company, Inc., operating 483 stores in the metropolitan area, announced yesterday that it had offered to sell each store of the chain at cost to the indi- vidual manager and had started todistribute in- vitations to 1,500 independent grocers to join a. voluntary éhain store organization expected to do a $60,000,000 gross business annually with the Bureau compan remaining as a general buy- ing and advisory o ce for the entire group. just as taxation is breaking up the big landed estates in England, so similar exactions are playing havoc with big retail business this side of the Atlantic.

MEN AILMENTS NOW BEING C BED AND PBEVENTED

A Iew years ago the statement was made that at the present rate o1’ increase‘ 1n mental ailments, an- other flttyyears would 11nd one- bull o1 the world 1n mental hospl- tals with the other hall taking cars o1’ them.

This was a gloomy picture but 1t was Justltlecl by the records which showed that there were more pat- lents 1n mental hospitals than 1n all other hospitals combined.

To-day the plcture is not so gloomy. esplts the tact that the number o1 mental cases seems to be increasing. There are many reasons why we should (eel hopeful about the picture. ’

In the first place there 1s no dls- grace now tor you or any 1n your household to be suffering with a mental ailment. At the first sign o1 “oddness" 1n behavior the family doctor 1s consulted and l1 he thinks more advlce 1s needed the patient ls sent bo the mental cl1n1c just as he would be sent to the surgical or turberculosls cllnlc.

Perhaps durlng the first exsmlri- utlon by the family doctor, the con- dition o1 the teeth or tonsils was suspicious and the removal o1 ton- slls or infected teeth cleared up the oddness 1n behavior.

In other cases a little stay 1n the mental hospital enabled the physic- ians to learn what was on the pat- ientfs mind and a. few sympathetic understpndlng, and firm talks straightened out the "tangled ske1n" and the patients were able to re- turn home.

In other cases due to Illness, to anxiety or worry the patients were “looking inwards" on themselves, the whole day being spent 1n think- ing about their troubles. By gettlrig these patients to‘ work a. halt n. day or more every day, they were taken out. o1 themselves, d1d some con- structive work, and with less time to think about themselves, gradually surmounted their difficulties.

One o1 the distressing and em- barrasslrig forms o1 mental a11- ments 1s that whlch attacks middle- aged women during their "change o1’ 111s" and brings great grlel’ and sorrow Into many homes.

To-day 1t has been found that the family doctor 1s able to help many o1 these women over this anxious time and do away with the need Ior care 1n a mental Institution by the use o1 gland extracts, which supply a. little o1 the necessary gland sub- stances and prevent shock.

Thus with the above common sense methods o1 preventing and curing ailments, with the natural discoveries o1 the future, there shoufd be no need to worry about an increase 1n the number o1 cases with mental ailments.

Hts discovery does not; mtlltste 1n a microscopic degree against Mr. Rogers’ assertion. It is merely the exception that confirms the rule.

A11 who know Mr. Rogers’ person- ally will concur 1n the oplnlon that he 1s not given to acting on un- warranted assumptions, to making gratuitous assertions, or to readily abandonlng an sttltude assumed from personal convlctlon, He knows whereof he speaks and quite cspabie o1 substantiating his asser- tions batore "Bert Wulner" or any o1‘ his rrlends.

Mr. "Will-he!" emphatlsally de- nles that Prohibition was wiested from the Constitution o! the 115A. because 1t was a failure. Perhaps he believes we are simple enough m think 1t was rejected because 1t was a success. Mr. French o. Peabody will tell us why 1t was repealed: "What 1s the fundamental detect." ho says. "In a scheme which was undertaken with such high 1mm- tlon? The obvious answer to this question 1s reached when one con- siders the end which such legisla- tion has ln vlsw.
