Ability to solve the unemlflOY- ment problem requires brains and there are many drawbacks and repercussions. The prolonged dis- cussions in the House of Commons and in the local Legislature show how Party capital can be made in connection with the best deavors to give effective administration of rein,’ funds. The Mayor and City Councillors of Montreal, now seek- ing re-election, are encounter!!! similar criticism. One of the Coun- cilors, Aid. Charbonneau of Vil- lerary Ward, put the msitlon suc-

cinctly as follows: "If the work had not been done.

what would have happened to the unemployed? The people needed bread. There was a big crisis rag- ing. The workers-proud fellows- wanted work to earn their bread. The administration, with Mayor I-loude at the head, gave them this work, and now the very fact was being used by rivals as a reproach! They were reproaehing the admin- istration for the food workers‘ wives and children had!"

‘ This is the dilemma. those lnpower it this critical juncture have to face and solve to their own satis- faction. II: is the old story. they will be blamed if they do and they Jvell be blamed if they don't. Cer- tainly the lesser of two evils is to provide for the immediate wants of those in need. This 1s what the Governments here and at Ottawa have contended, and have the afl- proval of the best minds in the Liberal party.

TEN NEW SEATS

According to the Ottawa Cor- respondent o: the Montreal Gazette ten new seats will be added to the House of commons as the result of the 1931 census. Next year it is ex- pected there will be redistribution and the membership increased from 245 to 255. It is considered that the bulk of the seats will go to urban constltucnces as the tendency has been for the population from the rural constituencies to flock to urban centres. The representation of the Provinces of Quebec and Ontario are practically unchange; able, Quebec remaining at 65 and ohmic at a2. rt is predicted. how- ever, that in the former four more seats will be given to the Island of Montreal at the expense of rural Quebec, while in the latter Toronto w'll probably ask for two more seats and Ottawa, for one more- This 15 merely a readjustment of ezflstlng seats, however, the new seats will be distributed in the Western Provinces. On the other hand It has been suggested that instead of in- creasing the number of members in Ihe House of Commons, steps should be taken to reduce the representa- tion. It is felt In certain quarters that a House of from 200 to 225 is amply suffleicilt to adnfnister the affairs of a mpulatlon of ten mll- Ion people. Any change in th‘s direction, of course would necessit- ate amendment of the British North Amerca Act, and Quebec is on record as against interference of th’s kind which prejudice her interests.

--__________. IRISH CATTLE

In ccnnecifiogtf thc present crisis ln Ireland over the policy of the Rcpubkcan Govemment, It Is interesting to note that the export tarde of cattle from the Emerald Isle will suffershould therreestate f< - to take advantage of the 1m- p rial Economic conference at Ot- tawa. About 55 per cent. of the £338,276,]!!! worth of domestic ex- ports from the Irish Ree State in I930 was I've an‘mais, writes John II. English, Cumilan ‘II-ado

Commissioner at Dublin, in the forthcoming issue of the Commercial Intelligence Journal.

The 357,878 cattle exported from the Irish Free State in 1930 were value st 214,600,000, the largest trade since 1924. Due to an embargo on the importation of Irish cattle into Great Britain dur- ing the spring of 1931. shipments for the pest year declined to ‘I65,- 952 head. Shipments are chiefly of store bullocks; these totalled 210,- 140 in 1&1. The trade in fut cattle is also imlwltnnt, exports in 1931 amounting to nearly 300,000 head for all classes.

it Items fairly clear that no Indian Constitution will ever work unless a communal settlement is reached and unfortunately it seems still clearer that in the absence of settlement by Indians the than pennit what for lack of a better tenn is called progress to be delayed, will Impose their own settlement. But how, except by the expedient o! retaining power In their own hands, will the British Govemment ensure that their award will continue to be carried out?

Exports of fat cattle also reach their maximum in the early winter, but these fall away considerably more in summer than do stores. Canada is the chief competitor in the market. Of the 706.523 head worth £12.615.945 entering the Unit- ed Kingdom in 1931, 738,967 valued at 512,048,496 were from the Irish Free State and 26.991 valued at 553,749 from Canada.

FRENCH ELECTIONS A Canadian Press cable carries an interesting review of the political situation in France on the eve of the general elections, the campaign for which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday. It is shown there is l bewildering number of parties and groups which cross and re-eross. divide and sub-divide both In the Chamber and in the constituencies. Two or three parties, with different nomenclartures -in the constituen-

are concerned, taking Sinsapore

whole, very much more appreci- ated. Now, therefore, that Britain can deliver the goods, this camp- aign to popularize British films, not only in the Colonies and Protector- ates, but in those areas administer- ed by Britain under a mandate, is a timely one.

A Canadian Senator well says: We should have something en- forceable before entering into any agreement with the United States- Wherever their Interests conflicted with ours in ex'sting treaties, they have ignored our rights and enforc- ed their own." If there is some distrust on the part of ‘Canadians it is because of past experience. Our neighbors an in the main good neighbors, but where material in- terests clash they are not given v.0 wild bursts of generosity.

In the San Franciscoflews there was recently a story of pellcans in the Santa Monica Bay- This may be read as a parable. The writer said: "For years these pelicans had been fed by fishemen from their surplus catch, until they got into the habit of eating without work. This year high seas and changing currents off Santa Monica cut down the catch, and the fsher- men no longer had any fish to spare. They noticed that the pel- cans languished and grew thin, and It dawned on them that they had forgotten how to fish for them- selves. So they went down the coast and found some unhampered pellcans who had never been ruined

cies, may be recognized under an entirely different name In the Chamber. For the purpose of the present election endeavors are be- lng made to follow the example of Great Britain, in uniting the part- ies, for election purpofies only. i!!- to two groups, those of Soclalsts and Communists and those of anti- Socialistls and anti-Communists. For this purpose it is understood an arrangement has been made by the Republican Democratic group with the other groups as follows:

(1) That no opposition candfdate wll be placed In the field aganst a retiring member, who voted with the Laval-Tardieu majority In the Chamber.

r2) Association of every effort to secure a common candidate for the first ballot. (3) Where a. common candidate can not be obtained before the first ballot, observance of a strict dlscpllnc in the second ballot 1n favor of the most favored National candidate. The Republican Democratic part- ies expect to have 550 candidates for the 612 constituencies, and in the remaining constituencies ther infuence will be used for the pur- pose of defcarng the most extreme Socialist candidates. Wherever an independent or moderate Radical candidate runs against a Commun- ist the Republican support will be given to the former. While this Is on the lines followed InGrentBrit- an when the National Government was elected, It is understood that there will be no fusion of the suc- cessful candidates when they reach the Chamber. They will still be known by their party names but will vote en bloc for the Govern-

ment. should It be successful at the election. /

by easy living and free fish. They turned them loose among the starv- ing birds, who sat down about on the beach and complained of the depression. The way those impart- ed pelicans went out after their own fsh was an eye-opener. Pretty soon the hungry na-tivfls quit watching and tried it themselves. They discovered there were plenty of fish in the sea for the b‘rd with enegy and enterprise. And they have quit talking about the depress- ion!’

“Buy Britain for the steady pull." That, says the Literary Digest, is ‘the new slogan to match the fam- ous "Don’t sell American short." The new cry, of course, sprngs from Britain's rapid recovery from the depths in which she seemed plunged six months ago. ‘The world has seen little like it-

Two Ameican Congressmen went out into the lobby and engaged in an angry argument over an inci- dent In the House. When will these Americans learn the tradit- ions of parliamentary etiquette?

The enevitabllity of graduainess has never been more forcibly ex- emplified than In the lawlessness which at present holds the U. S. In a vice-like grlp- It bcsan with here and there a lax enforcement of law. Gradually the laxity increased became a money making game for criminals and law-officers alike. The disease spread until Iodny we find an appeal being made to the underworld by the father of a kid- napped child for assistance at any price to enable him to find his child. ‘The appeal to the under- world instead of to law and justice Is a pathetic picture of helples-ness .____-____..__

FAT MAKES FAT

to build up youngsters, increasing their weight, it Is not so much the starches that are used but the fats- cream, milk, butter and other fats. These fats. together with meats and leafy vegetables to give plenty of minerals and vitamins, build up youngsters and keep them built up, better than large amounts of starchy foods.

Now as these fats are so helpful to build up. and maintain the strength of the youngsters, why‘ should they not be used to keep up strength of overweight individuals? Because fats have more than twice the heating power or energy produc- ing power of starches and meats. Dr. L. Jean Bogart reminds those who are overweight that they nilDiild watch even the small portions of fat carefully. Such persons seem to have firmly fixed in their minds the rule that sugar makes fat’ but for- get that fat makes fat at 3% times the rate that sugar does. One will never reduce weight by cutting out all the sugars and eating fairly freely of fats. Reduction diets should contain SMALL amounts of both starches and fat.

Dr. Bogert suggests that to reduce safely the overweight individual should: use small amounts of but- ter; drink skim milk and butter- milk; omit bacon, fat meats, pas- tries, and rich desserts entirely; substitute small amounts of French dressing, vinegar or lemon Juice alone for mayonnaise or other rich salad dressings.

It is well to remember that the use of a little fat is advised because when eaten with other foods such as meat and eggs, the entire lot of food in the stomach does not move out into the intestine so rapidly, sometimes taking one or two hours more than if the meat and eggs we're eaten alone.

This means that the individual will not feel so hungry at the next meal hour and less food will be eaten.

The point then to remember is that fat makes fat and so oruy a small quantity should be eaten, just enough to prevent extreme hunger and thus overeating.

The Rout of The Pessimists

(From "Our Enlplre")

One of the world's greatest philosophers once said: "Before every economic collapse there is a spititllfll collapse; before every economic recovery there is n spirit- ual recovery."

ITo-day, in Great Britain at least, the spiritual revival has begun. The General Election showed that the people of this country W"? determined. sane, ready to 506F111”. and supremely patriotic. ' _, . slowly, but relentlessly, they be- gan the march to better times. The gold standafli _ dopl-rhlre might have come as a disaster to any other people. Britain refused to panic, and what seemed defeat was turned to victory.

Everyone played the game. Hlces remained steady. The spirit 0f= the country was proof against the 1cm‘ and folly. i _ Once more the. nation, beam t0 believe In thefuture. Business mm bought and s0)! and advertised, and took on more employees.

Organised labour co-operated in every possible way for the common good. The pesslmists and the fa’nt- hearts said that the General Elec- tion would be followed by mother General Strike. g History has proved once more that the working men and women of Great Britain are second to none in love of country and loyalty i0 the common cause. , 1: ' .1‘.

So the rout of the, pessimism is completed by the mexorable march of events.

Soundness of the West

It ls the everlasting credit of the. Saskathewan Section of the United Farmers of Canada that they have overwhelmingly rejected at their Saskatoon convention of resolution favoring Commuhlct doctrine of class war.

When secfions of the Canadian Wat faced the p esent winter with a poor crcp. low prices and a slugg- ish market, the outlook was of the blackcst. Food for man and ‘beast was needed for relief purposes. Surely here was a fertile field for the propagandst of radical doc- trines.- Early in the autumn there we e meetings that revealed spor- adic outbreaks of discontent. These outbursts did not amount to much, and the calm courage of the Canadian people had taken r . - ion, with confidence that time will right the evils and that the vollence favored by the Reds will get no- where.

It is believed they were in the district 1,500 years ago, but whether they first came 5,000 years ago or 20,000 years ago is a subject of speculation. By the present plans of the Hoover Dam the whole region would become a lake and the remains of the "lest city” would disappear. Its fate would be worse than that of the ‘Nile Island Philae, of which there still remain at leas the columns of its ancient Egyp. tian temple. --_-______

' Mr. _.Churchill’s Collen

(E. C. Buchman in Ibronio Satur- day Night)

A matter of lighter interest at the luncheon party was Mr. Churchill's collar. I doubt if any. present, unless It would be M's; MaoPhail, It. It was such a collar as would not escape notice. As every- one knows from seeing -Mr. Churchill's pictures in the news- papers, he affects wing coilarswith an unusually wide opening at the front. But this particular collar had such a wide opening that there was actually no front t0 it at all. And still It had wings. The wings start- ed back from about the line of the jaw and endedvtowards the back of the neck. Some of the Beau Brum- mels of parliament wondered if 1t was a new fashion that went with theblack Hombur, hats now so popular at Westminster. Others saw in it a survival of the Glad- stone period. Sir Alien Aylmworth, sitting near me, scribbled a note "Look at his collar. Worn by Brit- ish statesmen of 1800." Sir Allen who cannot hear, had an interest ln the party. But, whether old or new, it wasn't quite the Gladstone collar. Mr. Gladstone exposed his neck but did not attract attention to it with such dashing wings.

Extravagant Demands

(Montreal Gazette)

All sorts of organizations have sprung up in various parts of the Dominion having for their purpose the promotion of sociallstic en- terprises in the interest, ostensibly, of the unemployed. Whether or not these organizations have any- thing but an assumed right to speak for the , _,.d is a de- batable question; more often than not there is more evidence of a desire to advance certain extreme views on political economy than, to promote the welfare of men who are in need. Evidence _of this Is found in the extravagance of most of the proposals put___forward, in contrast with the legitimate re- quh ‘ of the , yed and with ‘the degree . ofrellef ._,wlth which most upejnployed. men and women would be sa led. One government after another has had to listen to sp-ealled relief pro- grammes which , obviously were not designed for relief purposes at all, but for the» expression of an ag- gressivo and ubiquitous socialism. Examples of this have been seen at Toronto-where the deputation received very short shift-and at Quebec, where no more progress was made.
