BRITAIN'S CREDIT.

The dectsion of the British Na- tional Govern to sunpcnd pay- ment in gold is not so much an act of self-preservation as the protec- tion of bondholders in general and “commercial paper" in particular- {Ihe British Government has been Pfooting" notes and financing gen- erally a number of weak foreign nations, including tier-many, and her liquid resources (gold reserve) have been drawn upon to the prac- tical safety limit. France and other nations holding British sec- iirities became alarmed lest there would no‘: be enough gold reserve to go round. with the result they began selling out their holdings. ltarting thereby an unprecedented drain on the Bank of England

/'(Britaln's securities treasury.) which could have been withstood only at great present sacrifice. and incalcuable future industrial loss. Rather than permit this the new National Government has suspend- ed the section in the law calling for redemption of British scctirl- ties in gold, the results. ct which will be that anyone rushing the mar- ket, will have to accept paper cur- rency subject to whatever depreci-l. otion that may sustain though ill~-' advised and unnecessary loading of the market with securities be- fore the actual date of redemption- As Premier MacDonald states, there ls no actual necessity for this drain on the bank. but once such a run begins, common sense is at an end, and it. is the duty of the Gov- eminent to protect investors from the ultimate logical consequences or’ their own rash actions.

FOREIGNERS’ OPINIONS

Editorial irresponsibility scarcely be carried further than 1n our local contemporarys amusing "explanation" oi a statement which appeared in a. leading editorial in its Saturday's issue. Its “explan- atton" is that the article in ques- tion was not its own; it was f0:- eign opinion taken from a Boc- ton paper, "but unfortunately through an error the credit was not given to that paper.”

The question which our contem- porary’s bewildered readers will naturally ask is, how many such "errors" have been foisted upon them as authentic opinions oi our contemporary, and how are they to distinguish, in future, between our contemporarys own editorial opin- ions and the opinions which it bor- rows, without credit given, from foreign sources-opinions paraded editorially as its own, but for which 1t assumes no responsibility what- over?

In the present instance, howev- er, it is not a. question of opinion but of fact. In our contemporarys article of Saturday it is stated that under the British budget "unmar- ried workers earning as much as $500 a year must pay an income tax, and married workers earning ‘$750. Higher ‘incomes are all but confiscated." If the income of the Britisher, over $750, is "all but con- fiscated," then the Britisher is much worse off, from a taxation standpoint, than either the Ameri- can or the Canadian taxpayer. The facts stated are as much a contra- diction of our contemporaryu pre- vious argument as if they had an. peared originally in our contem- porary’: columns. The article can- not, therefore, be repudiated as an expression oi.’ foreign opinion. Nor can it be repudiated as a ‘ tement of fact unless the Liberal organ is Pflillred to admit that editorially U! flvid are as unreliable a; its 091111011: are ii. ible.

height of prosperity. Various in- dustrial observer: to whom he talk- ed recently are unanimous in the statement that more new indul- tries have located in Canada dur- ing the past twelve months than in any previous year of her history, Mr. Reading continua:

"A government list, recently revised, mentions ninety-five new manufacturing concerns as catch fishing in Canada since August of last year, but even this is ‘ap- parently not complete. ‘The actual total must. be well in excess oi one hundred. Collectively they represent a capital investment of at least $10,000,000, or $15,000,000 and a corresponding quota oi em - pioyment to Canadian workmen."

Moat of these new concerns have been brought into Canada by the tariff. There are others, how- ever, that have come here purely on the strength of natural econ- omic ndvantages. They fall rough- ly into two classes: new enter- prise.- or branch plants and old businesses absorbed by outside cap- ital with a view to reorganization and expansion.

The metal. chemical and textile industries show the largest expan- sion. Nearly fifty metal manufac- turing concerns, with a gross cap- ital of nearly fifty million, have entered the Canadian field in the pas‘. twelve months. There are ten new textile enterprises with about two million invested capital and ten new concerns for the man- ufacture of chemical products.

A few of these incoming indus- tries are quite large. Dominion Motors Limited. at Toronto, is credited with a capitalization of

TIMELY ADVICE

“Spend money." was the adivce oi Premier Bennett and Hon. H. H. Stevens, Minister oi Trade and Commerce, who spoke at a lunch- eon, held last week in connection with the oiilcial opening of the Made-in-Canada Fair at Ottawa. The Fair was sponsored by the Canadian Women's memorial Building National Board, in con- sideration of which Mr. Bennett expressed his gratitude as Premier for the interest women were show- ing in the welfare and progress of the Dominion. ‘That those who could spend money should do so. thereby providing work and assist- ing in grappling with present prob- lems, was urged by Mr. Stevens- "Every citizen who spends a five- dollar bill in some useful and wise

way," he declared, "is contributing‘

to the relief of unemployment and to the return of confidence and prosperity in this country."

CIIEW YOUR FOOD

One of the hopeful signs of the times is to sec the number of indi- vlduals who are now willing to have their owrrteeth removed owing to infected roots and also pyorrhoea.

Formerly it meant months of waiting until the gums would be in good firm condition to have a per- manent set of artificial teeth put in. Now, however, Just as soon as the gums have healed-a matter of days-a set of temporary teeth, or a partial set as the case may be, can be worn, and the individual is not ashamed to be seen on the street, and what is even more important, he can actually chew his food.

1s chewing important?

During the war the teeth were almost the first thought in so far as the physical examination of the recruit was concerned. He must have at least one grinding tooth immed- lately above or below another grinding tooth so that some chewing could be done.

Chewing the food gives it a real start in digestion. Some individuals are able to bolt their food without chewing it and enjoy a fair measure of health, but most of them will have gas pains 1n stomach or in- testines.

Chewing the food gives the dig- estive Juice of the mouth a chance to get well mixed with the food, thus changing the starch into sugar, and breaking up the starch granules, which if not broken up in the mouth may pass through the stomach and small intestine, and when finally broken up in the large intestine give raise to a great deal of pain from gas pressure.

Chewing also gives the digestive lulce a real chance to moisten and soften the food. thus making it eas- ier for the stomach to prepare it for further digestion and absorption in- to the blood from the small intes- tine.

Another point that should be re- membered is the part the brain plays in digestion. When the food is ' well chewed the taste buds in the mouth are aroused by the flavor of the food, the brain thus sends im- pulses to the digestive glands of the mouth and they then pour out more digestive Juice to act on the food.

1t is certainly a real health habit to chew ou: food properly.

The Business Outlook

(Dunn's Weekly Review)

"While trade in some parts of Canada is still under the modify- ing influence of summer-lethagry, there are significant instances of fall activity in the wholesale trade, dry goods are moving in better volume and sales of hardware are on the increase. Groceries are go- ing into consumption comparative- ly freely, with the demand for do- mestic goods showing a decided improvement.

“Tangible evidence of a definite, governmental program for the ab- sorption of a large proportion of Canada's unemployed during the coming winter has dispelled, to a considerable extent, the anxiety that has been felt in that direc- tion. The end of thg season has affected adversely sales of cloth- ing, and left-overs are being sacri- ficed to make way for new mer- chandise.

A decided change in millinery styles has brought a heavy demand for the new shapes, with both wholesalers and manufacturers re- porting the best season in years- Woolen mills and boot and shoe

Marriage And Divorce

(Montreal Gazette)

The Rt. Rev. James dc Wolf Perry,

Bishop of Rhode Island and pre- siding Bishop oi the Episcopal Church in the United States, has at- tracted some attention by attacking the divorce practice, declaring that "the bond between husband and wife, once sealed in the name of God, is subject, not to the will of man, but to Divine will." Bishop Perry's remarks were made at the time a United States census bulletin on divorce and marriage statistics showed that in that country there had been a. marked increase in the number of divorced persons in the past decade as compared with the previous ten years. The 1930 cen- sus figures give the number of di- vorced persons as 1,062,726, compar- ed with 508,588 in 1920. Oi these, 489,578 were men, or 1.1 per cent. of the males over 15 years of age, compared with 235,284 or 0.8 per cent. in 1920. The number of di- vorced women is 573,148, or 1.3 per cent, of the female population, as compared with 273,304, or 0.8 per The Bishop is, of course, performing a public duty in condemning divorce, but the returns are not without. a consoling feature. Marriage is on the increase, and it is stated that at present fewer di- vorces are being petitioned for.

The United States census bulle- tin, in discussing marriage, "states that the percentage oi married per- sons to the total population 15 years and over was 60.5 per cent., com- pared with 59.9 per cent, ten years ago. The number of married persons 15 and over increased by 4,447,843 between 1920 and 1930. There were in the country on April 1, 1930, 86,- 718,170 persons 15 years of age and
