,_4'Mob Rule" Threatens Ontario

> Dissatisfaction over relief disbursements in

_ Ontario is seen in a growing disposition of the unemployed to force their demands on municip-

‘ 8l_lties. The Council of York Township recently yielded to .1 mob which stormed relief head- quarters and held the officials as prisoners until

- their dcuiaiids were granted. The situation has become serious and Premier HEPBURN has issued an announcement that his government will no longer tolerate “mob rule”.

The Toronto Male and Empire, while up- holding the authorities in this regard, takes oc- casion to remind both the HEPBURN and MAC- KENZIE KING Governments that they are partly

, to blame for the present temper of those in re- ceipt of public relief. “The Reds amongst the unemployed,” it says, “have never forgotten Attorney-General Roi:nUci<’s barangue to the Communist-led hunger marchers, in the course of which he told them to go back home and or- ,ganize till they were strong enough to force any goivernmentyto do their will. That was dangerous advice from aM~inister of the Crown who is responsible for the acl‘ ' istration of law throughout the province. list ‘before the last session of Ifnrlianient adjourned the MAdKENzl§ KING li(>Vt3l‘l’ll‘l1E‘l’ll insisted on forcing through the llnuise of Cmnmons a repeal of Section 98 of the Criminal (‘ode which was designed to

protect ('l("H'lll citizens against the machinations

of the Geographical Board’: rules of nomenclat- ure; to wit, that the possessive form is to be avoided whenever possible. This rule has been made to accord with what seems to be modern usage. A century or so ago the possessive was customarily used: whe_n an explorer discovered something new and important, his name in the possessive was attached to it; e.g., Vancouver's Island, the original form. But within the last hundred years there seems to have been a change in the language, and we now feel that in attach- ing the name of the explorer or other honored person to a feature we should not use the pos- sessive, because, after all, he does not own it.

Old Henry did not own the bay, and Captain

Vancouver did not own the Island. This argu-

ment may seem pedantic, but it is supported by

usage in other spheres. Boyle's law, Halley’s

Comet, and Newton’s rings were the names

science used to give, and still uses; but now we

speak of the Einstein theory, the Keenley—

Heaviside layer, and the Dirac equation. This is

the board's principle: in practice it is often

found that Canadians refuse to be deprived of

the apostrophes in their local names. Some years

ago a daring attempt of the board to abstract

the “’s" from Sniith’s Falls was repulsed, and

there have been numerous other cases where

the possessive has been retained though the feat-

ures involved have usually been small.

institutions by force and violence. It is true that the Ottawa Government at the same time strengthened another section of the Criminal Code in a manner that may give it sufficient power to deal adequately with the Communist elements in the conuiiunity. The impression giv- en to the Reds, limvever, was that the Federal Government is on the rim and that it is too weak to protect the country against the machinations of the subversive elements in the population."

-The -P—otato Situation

The potato situation is thus reviewed in the July monthly letter of the Royal Bank of Canada:

A shortage in the supplies of potatoes in central Canada caused sharp advances in the price during June. In one week the wholesale price at Toronto increased nearly 50 per cent, =-url supplies in the Maritime Provinces com- m:uided the highest price in more than twelve VC.'ll‘S. To meet this situation, shipments of po- t:ini<=s were made from Manitoba and Alberta to Ontario and Quebec markets, a most unusual proceeding.

In 1934, the production of potatoes in Can-‘ ndu exceeded 48 million liundredwcight. This was greater than normal domestic requirements and without adeqiintc export outlets for the surplus, great difficulty was experienced in mar- keting the crops and returns to growers were unremunerative. In 1935, farmers decrease}! their plantings and the acreage devoted to this crop in all Canada was 11 per Cent less than "1 the previous year.

Maritime growers had been particularly uri- fortunate in the returns from their 1934 crop

Danzig manners are exccrable; it was par- ticularly rude to rub salt in the League’s wounds at just the painful moment wlien it was confessing the failure of sanctions; and lllf‘ whole episode is a melancholy commentary upon the fatal coil in which the League powers in- volved themselves by professing to set up Eur- ope upon principles in which none of them.

Some years ago 10 epileptic pat.- lents were kept without food for 10 days during which time not. 3 sm- gle one had an epileptic abtaack. some of these patients had been having a number or seizure. daily and others at least one attack eveiy day. Thus food seems to be the match that llghts the mo ln epllepsy.

A few months ago Dr. J. tumu- ver in the British Medical Journal rfiported results in treating as cases of hlgh blood pressure by a greatly reduced food intake; in ‘fact it was called a semistarvatlon diet.

This diet: is repeated each week so long as the symp- toms—headache.s, sleeples , gid- dlnes, and bieath1essness—lmprove_ until the blood pressure gets near to normal, or there are signs of increasing weakness. whenever the patient feels weak, tea, or stimul- ant is permitted. If the pangs of hunger are too hard to bear, green vegetables and tomatoes may be eaten and the soup need not be strained.
