For thmmcmbera or the then Opposition ind no ' opportunity, either " of op- "ei-‘iuppci-tmg the appoint- Inont cfths Duncan Commission. Mr. King, who has recently been so concerned about the rights of Par- liament and thealleged iniquitous practice of government by order-in- council, was not so finnicisy when in office; and it was by order-in- councii that he appointed Sir An- drew Duncan nodal!!! colleagues to the Marltbne Olninilt Commission in i926!

What the Conservatives opposed, as stated yesterday. was the ap~ pointmeut of any commission for the mere purpose of shelving the _ claims question and ehabling the

King ‘Government to side-step its

responsibility. "Our contemporary

garbles this statement for the pur-

pose of misintcrpreting it, but the

facts, are clear enough, and show

that the Conservative attitude was fully justified.

In the first piece, it was a. Can-

. servative member, Mr. W. A. Black.

Hauler, who moved the resolution

binding Parliament tokeep faith

with the Maritirnes on the uestion of their claims under Confedera- tion Mr. King, then Prime Minis- ter, expressed himself in accord with the resolution, but said that matters of this kind should be dealt

with by Royal Commission. M:

that the motion should he carried

Mr. Bennett in "his address was uble to Iflwwl-hI-t Oineda leads an nations in the rapidity of its economic od- vanoe from the depths o! the world depression. l-nd that it holds firth place amonsst all tions in the extent ofitefolreign trade.

Condemniug opponents of the novel-omen; to: saying that them are a million unemployed, the Prime Minister quoted an authority in the statistical department as saying that the number of unem- Ploiled has been reduced from 750,000, at the worst of the depres- sion, to about 400,000 today. This is’ a. remarkable achievement when compared witlrthe heavy increase of unemplwment during the past year in thelhiited States. Not even Great Britain has been eblo to achieve such e remarkable showing.

‘Inning to the question of by- eiections. over. the result of which bhe Liberals ‘have made ridiculous and untenable claims, Mr. Bennett pointed out that after four years of the worst deprasion in the world's history the net result of the by- electlons held since the present Government came into office is that the udm‘ ' ‘ration has lost one einzle seat.

The Prime Minister also took the Opposition leader Yo task for misreprucnting the course of the Government in regard f0 the preo- aration of the Dominion voters‘ lists. The hurt-h B that, for the first time in the history o! Canada, these lists are being prepared upon

sufficient to meet the situation,

Mt. Black's motion carried un- animously. Subsequently the Dun can Commission vws appointed, as already stated, by order-l-n-council It held its sittings and reported favorably, one of its most impor- tant recommendations being that with regard to subsidy claims “the Dominion Government should give immediate consideration to the whole of this subject, with a view to a complete revision of the financial arrangemen‘ as between them and the Maritime Provinces." This . endation the King Government ignored. And it re- mains for the Bennett Government. after fighting the worst economic depression in world history, to make good the omission.

James Church, the Secrmary of the YMCA. stated that "Mr. Denny's remarks were clear-cut and orig- inal. and should certainly be taken into account and dealt with by all serious thinking Christians." It may be added that John is still a boy in years-not yet having reached his twenty-first birthday. but has a record of things accomplished lo his credit. He entered Prince of Wales College from West Kent with the Queens County scholar- ship.

The Premier nwde another good Point when he showed that Mr. King hos abandoned his old policy of a fifty per cent. preference for British industries in favor of whet he calls a "substantial" preference. He has made this change because he has ascertained that a fifty per cent. preference would close sixty per cent. of Canada's industries!

They crenow acquainted with the 1 ti. --- of the country, and understand how to intpmve their situation: their fut- ure condition must entirely depend on the perseverance with which their, first exertions are followed up. Having secured the first great object, subsistence, most of them are now promeding to improve their habitations, and some are already lodged in a. manner superior to the utmost wishes they would have formed in their native country.

A lot of time. norvhge and newn- Delier space is being used to promote

the idea of fewer and more cen- tralized pmvlncial governments on the mistaken‘ notion that much money would be saved the taxpay- ers.» It would be to better purpose to spend the effort in urging working out plans for all govern- ments to unite in discovering ways and means to economize under the set-up we have. In Great Britain, which has one of the most central- lrvd governments in the world, for a.‘ large population in a small area. the trend has long been towards decentralization of work and auth- ority, relieving Parliament and gov- ernment of much that is of purely local concern-Moose Jaw Evening Times. . ‘

In a United States civil service examination for a man to fire a marine boiler this question was asked: "If it takes 20 men to mow a field in eight hours how long will it take 15 men to mow the same field?" Oiie candidate wrote: "As the field had already been mowed by the 20 men, the 15 men could not mow it in any case."

Dr. William J. Mayo, of the fam- ous Rochester clinic. voices the striking opinion that the motorist who goes out on the highway after having taken Just two or three cocktails. ls a greater menace to public safety than the one who goes out blind drunk. A couple of cock- tails, he points out, will slow up the normal man's reactions so that it takes him two to four times as long to react in an emergency as B. man without any alcohol in his stomach. A cold-sober driver, pro- ceeding at 40 miles an hour. will travel about’ 25 feet before he can

attachment they have taken to the spot that is to be the inheritance of their children.

‘Hie commencem ‘ of improve- ment to be seen in some of these haibltations, is, I believe, the result, not so much of c. personal wish for better accomodation, as 01' the pride of landed property: s. feeling nat- ural to the human breast, and particularly consonant to the an- cient habits of the Highlanders; a feeling which among the tsnantry. has been expressed by recent cir- cumstsnces, but not extinguished; and which is ready to resume its spring whenever their situation will perm These sentiments are not confined to the superior classes of tho settlers. One o! very moderate property. who had held a small possssiorz in the Isle of Sky. trncee hie lines-Io to a family which had once on estate in Ross- shire but had iostilt in the turbu- lence of the feudal times.

The 001M. however. on which the f-‘Dulenoe and comfort of u settler ultimately depend, is chiefly the assiduity with which he proc ’ in clearing away the woods and ex- tending his cultivated land. It is observed of some Highlanders who have come on former occasions to this island, that after the first two or thrce wars their exertions have relaxed. They have, by that time, found themselves able to maintain their families with ease. and io pm- cure all the comforts they had been accustomed to; and. having no further ambition, have preferred
