17in‘. If.’ firmer King's pe: argu-

l ments in the election campaign was

that it will make a great deal of d1‘- ference whether Liberals or Conser- vatives represent Canada in London this year at the Imperial Conference. A very different opinion has JUSI bwn presented to the Gcisemnievit of Pre- mier Ramsay MacDonald. ivliich is told by high authority that the prin-

n-m. vol.-

oipal business of the Imperi fez-once will have to be done without ‘any thought of part": politics at all. The principal business of the confer- mice. in fan‘.

The report of the British Prepara- wfy committee-which wins the 1118b mmmen‘ tion of the London Times. by the way-begins ‘.11 n very simple ggd striking fashion by defining the problems of the conference. Here. it lllgys, is an Empire with an area of 14,000,000 square miles. a population M 451.000 000. and vast supplies oi the food and raw’ materials required by mgr: and by industry. The prob- iein. says the committee. is m take ndvantoge of these great resources no that "the Empire may operate as on economic unit." The urgent and obvious necessit is saen as that of increasing to the utmost the trade of the Empire. For this purpose. says

‘the committee. "some simple. oom-

conference. from Canada or from any other part 0f the Empire. The com- mittee is more concerned that Em- pire economic policy shall receive full and unpreyudiced investigation by ‘led and impartial investigators. It

says that the P755611’. methods of Im-

‘perial economic consultation are in-

adequate. It recommends that "suit- able machinery for adequate investigation and consulta- tion within the Emiviiwe should be de- vised.“ It also favors the creation of a “pennant-zit Imperial economic rccretariat." on the model of that set up bv- the League of Nations. And finally. says the committee. all inves-

constant and

ligation and discussion. for this pur- -

pose of the British Empire a5 in

er. in the scientific spirit. free from;

all political bias. and no question should be debarred from discussion because of political party preiudiws

or opinions."

Television F ire Years Ofi

In arswerwo the question “Hora soon will we have television?" Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith. Vice President and General Engineer of the Radio Corporation of America says;

“National television service of proved value within a year ivould be a miracle. within two years

would be an amazing feat. within three years would represent a fine achievement of hard work. and vntlun five years. would be a de- velcpihcnt proceeding at a good and normal pace."

Dr. Goldsmith voices the views of men engaged in research along this line regarding "Just around the cor- ner" predictions which from time no time make their appearance as some in-sestigamr progresses a step furth- er in his development oi television equipment.

Editorial Notes

Perhaps Mr. King will go to the Imperial Conference as coach for Premier Bennett. And then again. perhaps he will not.

An ai-ticle in the NSHODJ] Geogra- phic Mmzazine says that a young cull banded on the Fame Islands. on the coast of England. on June 30. 1924 was captured at Gross Water Bay. Labrador. in October 1925. Another banded at the same ‘place on June 2a. 192a. waswkillerl Aug. 12. 1924. in Newfoundland. The hands are posi- tive proof of the time and place and show the migration of birds. A t-em banded ll'l America was found four years later on the Niger River. in Africa. The bird was found dead with the metal band or. its leg. and was taken by a native to his missionary. Thus the record came back to the United States Biological survey.

Literary students will be interest- ed to lean-i. from the obituary of the late Mr. Thomas W. May of this city. published elsewhere in today's Guardian. that Mr. May enjoyed the privilege as a young men at Edin- burgh University of being o class- mate oi Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson achieved literary fame at an early age, and died at forty-four at Samoa. in the South Sea Islands. Like Mr. May. he studied civil en- gineering at Edinburgh and in 1511 had so for advanced as to receive the silver medal oi the Edinburgh Society of Arts for a plpfl‘ suggest- ing improvements in lighthouse ap- paratus. But long before this he had started as an author, his outlast publication being on anonymous pamphlet on the Pmtllrid axing. flvnenring in 1866. Mr. May was

EDITORS COMMENT ON VOTING RESULTS The Toronto Mail and Empire de- votes its leading editorial to Jubila- Lion at the Conservative victory at the polls. fearing nothing will be lost to the cause of Empire trade be-

cause the opponents of the Dunning

Budget are elected by a majority over all. The Mail and Elmpire points out. that Hon. R. B. Bennett was ihe first to suggest an Imperial Economic Conference. and that he will go to the conference to build up a mutually satisfactory trade ogre:- ment by which Ehipire trade will be safeguarded by reciprocal trade agreements of a protective nature. The Mail and Empire continues:

There is a great danger that. be-‘

cause of the extreme campaign con- ducted by the Liberal leaders and the Liberal press, many people in Canada and e1: were will regard yesterdays Conservative victory as a reverse for Imperial an It. is nothing of the kind. A triumph for Mr. Mackenzie KIHEI would have placed the all-important cause of ultra-Empire trade at the mercy cf a politician who has alivays been pro-American and anti-Brituh in his courses. The danger is that. if he had won. he would have gone to the Imperial conference. disagreed with the ctlrrr Empire representa- tives garesent. and so reverted to the traditional pro-American policy o? closer trade relations \vi‘.h the Unit- ed Eta‘ .

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE SAVES A LIFE

Three boy scouts were playinl H631‘ a river when one of them fell in. 1n- istead of running for help and thus losing valuable time they secured a Jarge branch, drove a couple of nails {in at such an angle as to improvise a hook, and were able tn fish their companion out 0f the Wfilél‘. I He was unconscious. but despite the fact that there was no scout master or leader present. they pet'- severecl with the Schafsv method of resuscitation for a. number of minu- tes until the boy revived and was later able to go home.

Naturally their parents and towns- f;l1-: were proud of them anclltheir acr. was suitably recognized-

And yet this act of resuscitation which can be learned in one or two minutes is still unknown to thou- sands of people. They may still have in their minds rolling the victim over a barrel to get the water out of his lungs. then one helper works his arms upwards and downwards to force air into his lungs whilst. letting him lie on his back, with another helper trying to hold his tongue out. so that it w.ll not m1 back and siiuil out the, air. and still another helper or two rubbing his hands and feet to promote circulation.

‘there is no gainsnying. the fact A

that the defeated prime‘ minister, possesses untliring industry and quite a remarkable git‘. ror spacious and specious oratory. While still very - young he set his heart on the prom-i lership and bent every effort to the‘ realizrion of his dram. During: the war he so conducted himself as! to make sure of a so1ld* anti-con- scrlptionlst Quebec in support of his‘ claim to the party leadership. In addition to industry, perseverence and a polifical astutensss amounting to cunning. he ei-ijoyed a astonishing run of luck. He profited by the ex- haustion and reaction followingthe war to enthrone himself in office. That was in 192i. Four years late: he and most of his cobintt colleague‘ were defeated a‘. thepolls, but by se- cret deals entered into with Prog e:- sive and independent members be managed to harg onto office until. by a fortuitous chain of circum- stances in 1926. he achieved actual con‘ro1 of the Houseof Commons. Under his regime the country has ducendcd into a severe economic depression. with wholesale unemploy- ment extending from coast to coast. Faced with declining trade and grow- ing business depresslon. he hurried to the counfi-y before the situation j should grow any worse. As a preface Y to the general election. he hald M: l Dcnnirg bring down a, budget desig- ned to deceive the people into the‘ belief (ll that his ‘Goverrunent was at last taking action against the; United States, and (2) that it was at last becoming pro-British in its‘ centzmznts.
