Pussy - footing Again

A subject carefully avoided at the Mackenzie King banquet in Toronto was any reference to the question uppermost in the minds of the Prime Minister's listcncrs—the date of the next general election. Indc»:d, while there was a plethora of speecli—niaking, concrete statements of any kind were as conspicuous by their ab- sence as were “.\litch” Hepburn and the whole Ontario Liberal Cabinet. Mr. King evtn went out of his way to declare, with regard to Can- ada's foreign policy, that he “would not now or at any future time make a statement of Can- ada's stand toward :1 hypothetical situation that might arise in some other part of the world." This was the most remarkable utterance made at the banquet, and it gives rise to some curious speculation.

\‘\"hat was Mr. King thinking about? Ob- viously about the present European situation and the crisis threatening to involve Great Britain.

A fc\v months ago, in the Ilouse of Commons, Mr. King indorscd l.aurier's dictum that “If England is at war \ve are at war and liable to attack.” He also made this poifit: “ln times like these there is a special recognition of the fact that Great Britain has no territorial ambitions, no designs on any other people's land or liberty, and that her influence is the main force in the world for maintaining peace. A world in which ‘Britain was weak would be greatly worse for small countries than 3 world in which she was strong. Finally there are the historical and political ties—the allegiance to the same king; .the common human interest in the holders of the crown; the free association in the same com- monwealth. With Britain's strength is also as- sociated a sense of our own security. Particular- ly at a time like the present, where there are evidences of a desire of world domination by force, have we reason to feel that an act of an

Scandinavian producers, more- over, have impressed the United Kingdom trade with the standard of quality of their pelts, which compare favourably with the bulk of the Can- adian offerings. This applies to colour rather than texture. They have also shown more wil- lingness than Canadian shippers to accept cur- rent market prices and to sell according to pre- vailing conditions of supply and demand.

Still strongly averse to a Dominion general election this year, the \\’innipeg Free Press

gggressor aimed at the destruction of Britain would constitute a menace to the freedom of every nation of the British Commonwmlfli."

That was after the Munich settlement, when war seemed lest remote‘ than it does today. A similar statement from Mr_ King at the present time——ind0r5ing Britain's peace efforts and stressing Canada's bond -of unity with the Etn- pire—-would consequently be of more signifi- cance and of more value to the British Gov- ernment than when it was ddivered in Far- liament last March. Instead," Mr. King now chooses not merely to say nothing, but to under- line the fact that he has nothing to say.

Only recently Mr. King cited the impend- ing European crisis as the reason for postpon- ing any dccision on the election date. This same crisis he now dismisses as “a hypothetical sit- uation that might arise in some other part of the world”,——words which imply Canada's aloofness to an extent making’ a‘ declaration of policy unnecessary “now orat any future time."

It is all very confusing, even" to Mr. King's party followers. What the outside world thinks of such statements we can only imagine. It must be very encouring to the Nazi leaders, to_]apan and other trouble—makers, to be assured that a “hypothetical situation" involving the fate of democracy in Europe, and possibly of the whole British Empire, is regarded by the Prime Min- ister of Canada with such philosophic detach- ‘merit.

Canada’: Election Machinery

The active preparations to set in operation Canada’; Federal election machinery are in full 0 ration at Ottawa, notwithstanding Premier I\ing’s repeated statements that polling must await the arrival of more stable conditions in Europe than presently exist. If the interna- tional tegnsion should suddenly relax and the gen- eral situation become reasonably settled and re- assuring. everything is evidently going to be in complete readiness for Canada's next big poli- tical event,—a Dominion general election.

Dominion election officials at the Capital esti- mate that.6,5oo,ooo Canadian men and women will be entitled to vote at the coming election. Out of this total, it is calculated,’ about 4,875,000 will actually mark their ballots on polling day.

In the last Dominion election, held on October 14, 1935, there were 5,918,207 names on the voters lists, and of these 4.45‘-‘.575 WC?“ '0 ‘ht polls and voted. This was approximately 75 per cent of the total. '

The running of a- Dominion election is a big and'costly job.‘ Approximately _r1o,ooo per- sons will be employed in connection with the election machinery, which will be undcr_tbe gen- eral direction of Jules Gnstonguay, Chief .l-.lec- toral,.Officer of the Dominion.

Perhaps it was not generally observed, but at his last conference with the Press before his banquet, the Prime .\linister intimated that there were still a number of important appointments to be made by the Government, including the lieutenant governor of Quebec, but with no mention of Prince Edward Island. Can it be that the powers-that-be have come to the con- clusion it is better to stick to a good appoint- ment when they havc got it? or ax an :- "In seeking a Federal general election at this time the opposition parties are simply looking for trouble for themselves," the Canadian Lib- eral monthly declares. Evidently officially the Liberals want to discourage attempts at forcing the Government to a Fall election. The Prime Minister says he will be guided by the state of Europe, while his mouthpiece insinuates that he is simply trying to avoid “trouble for the op- position". Such consitleration indicates a thought- fulness for others rarely or ever, found in the Liberal leader's make-up. u an a an

The Prime Minister's banquet was magni- ficently staged and successfully put over. As might have been expected between 3,000 and 4,000 diners at $2 per head worked themselves into the necessary enthusiasm to greet the hon- oured guest. Applause to begin with during the Prime Minister’s speech was loud and frequent, but as it began to_dawn upon the diners that the speaker was to reveal nothing to them that they did not already know, the applause became less frequent, and when the Right I-Ion. gentleman concluded with the rather hackneyed, and in the circumstances, incongruous phrase "I thank you”, he was allowed to resume his seat with merely a modicum of applause. The enthusiasm had pctered out.

The Hon. Mr. Lapointe who presided at the Prime Minister's banquet, made no bones about returning in kind the compliments which Mr. Mackenzie King paid him at his banquet in e"- bec. He quoted at length the nice things the Prime Minister said about him on that occasion, and then started to out-Herod Herod in quantity and utility of the nice things-to say inréturn.

The moneysavlng experiment is to be tried out first at Edison Courts, in Miaml, Fla., where “solar heaters" are bemg installed on the roof of each dwel- ling. The heaters are shallow. glass - covered boxes, through which run a series of copper pipes. Water therein will be heated to in temperature of 180 d;grees Fahren- heit within a few hours. The hot water will be drawn off and stored in an insulated tank on the roof. Although the initial cost: of the solar heaters is somewhat greater than the cost of conventional types. maintenance expenses are practically nll. The expected life of each heatrr is about 30 years. Use of the solar healers is also proposed for projccts in Sarasota. Fln., Hawaii and another project in Miami. — Christian Science Monitor.

/ . CAUSE Oi? SEVERE ATTACKS} OF ASTHMA —— I

It is interesting to see hour the knowldege of asthma and its treat.- ment has progressed in the last twenty to thirty years. There was no known cause in my nudenll days and treatment was by amyl. nitrite (lnhaled) or nitroglycerin.

Then came the knowledge that some stoppage of the passages of thenosewutheeause andre- movul of spurs and nut ' tenlnz of the septum (division between nostrils) certainly helped a great. many cases.

when it was later found that sensltfvcness (allergy) to various foods, dusts, pollens and other sub- tances caused attacks of asthm it was felt that all about the cause of asthma had been discovered- More recently it has been shown that nervousn and emotional dlstumanoes, while not a cause in itself, was a real factor ln bringing on asthmatic attacks in many cases. \

The most recent information on the cause of asthma is recorded in the Oklahoma state Medical Association Journal by Drs. R. M. Balyeat. and L.E. Seyler, who be- lieve that more than 90 percent of all cases of intractable (very severe) asthma are due to two 03115653

(1) sensitization factors fur. feathers, _dust.s, pollen (2) mechanical factors (plugs of mucous, pus-like formations tn bronchial tubes, and dilatation; — permanent enlargement of the lit- tle alr sacs in the lungs).

These physicians believe that the formation of these little plugs (which close or partly close the little tubes carrying air in and out of the lungs) is of equal import.- ance with sensltlveneas in causing attacks of asthma. Most of these cases start with a. swelling of the little bronchial tubes due to the substances to which the patient is sensitive. just as the lining of the nose and thwat. swell when at- ta:ked by these substances. A lit- tle later some infection occurs ln_ the nose. throat and bronchial tubrs and this leads to the for- mation of mucous and pusllke ma- terlal which forms plugs. ft. is me! plugging up of the little bronchial tubes which cause at‘.-acks-of ss- thmn -

in the milder forms of asthma.‘ the little plugs of mucous can often be removed by kneeling on a chair, putting hands on the floor. head between hands and coughing vigorously for 9, minute or more,
