The Press and the Empire

Thc Times. in connection with the’

daily issue of May 31, published a nimplemem dealing with the; aims, objects and GSSOClBIlOIlS of the Empire Press Union, now holding ses- sions in the capital of the Empire. In an editorial reference to the sub- ject, The Times says:

‘In an almanac of our own times ihe present year will surely be given s special note recording its signifi- cance for the British Empire. In i930 it. ‘may be said, the peoples of the Empire began a new period of incisive thinking about their partnership and started seriously to inquire how they might. multiply its concrete forms and increase its productive power. And it may be added that, the year was also without precedent for the, number and variety of representative Empire gatherings, partly coincident with. but still more the consequence of. this newly defined purpose In Im- perial life. One conference follows an- other, and all are preparinl m!

by its unofficial forerunners. Today another welcome is preparing, and none will be more genuine than that which the country offers to the rep- resentatives of Empire newspapers who hold their fourth Conference and celebrate the twenty-first. birth- day of their common organization. the Empire Press Union, from ‘to- morrow throughout the month of June. Whatever the achievement of this Imperial year, its chief instru- ment, whether in what goes before or in what must come after the Con- ference of Governments. must and will be the Press. It is for the lead- ers of trade and industry. the ad- ministrators and the statesmen in all the Empire countries, to corre- late their plans and to draft a prac- ticable programme: but only the Press can provide for that reciproc- ity of opinion and action which ls, in the last analysis, the Common- wealth itself.

“It is a most fortunate event that this year and this country should have been chosen for the present Conference. Never. certainly, in the economic history of the Empire have there been times which threw a heav- ier responsibility upon its joumalsts or offered larger opportunities to those who by constructive comment and ElUCLdBClOD can share the tasks of statesmanshlp; and nowhere. per- haps, at this moment is there a bet- ter vantage-point for a view of Im- perial interests than Britain. heavily but indomitably engaged in both hemispheres and at home. This countrys part in the constitutional growth of the Empire has mainly been one of encouragement and as- sent. lri the new era of economic articulation it, will share with its equals the duty of initiative and con- trivance. Britain has a new part to play. The time and the place chosen thus happen to be peculiarly ‘inform- ative. and what they have to tell will probably not be lost upon keen and practised observers of the public mind. If so, the Conference too. will leave its impress cm the “lensing times, for none doubts either its Will or its poorer iri all that may aid- eg-g: the wall-helm! P4 13-5 6033902- ent. nations."

Mr. Keenan. Minister of Labor in the King Government, says there 15 no unemployment in Canada worth

It is probable Premier King has not a more militant supporter than the Ottawa Citizen. which. in and out of season, has sought to impress on its readers the soundness of the principles advocated by the Liberal leaders. In a recent editorial the Ottawa paper declared that Hon. R. B. Bennett ls a worthy successor to the great Conservative leaders in whose place he now sits. He is a keen debator. a hard hitter and asks no quarter from his opponents.

Lloyd George recently reminded the Empire Press Delegates, when “speaking c! the .=...,,.... ‘rain-z; als- hor stagnation. It will not stand it. Decomposition is not merely its pro- test, but its method for finding a. new outlet of life."

In the opening speech of_hls cam- paign in Toronto. the Hon. Mr. La- pointe, Minister of Justice made the rather sweeping asertion. that "un- precedcnted industrial peace had set- tled on Canada during the present Government's tenure of office."

It is not reported that any person suffered from shock during the ren- dering of Mr. Lapointes modest claims. but this probably is because they have become accustomed to such bombast.

"Yesterdays order-ln-councll." says the Mall and Empire, "extending the railway rate bonus to western coal reminds us that there is no time like election time for obtaining fav-

ors from a Government, which com- merit in no way finds fault with the course followed in this particular case."

With the illustrious example of‘ Disraeli in mind. no Conservative; newspaper would be likely to say that; Jews should not be nominated by the‘ party for election honors. and in communities where the Jews form a considerable or even preponderatirig element of the ‘constituency. it is only natural that they should be anxious for One of their own relig- ious faith to represent them.

The Hebrew Journal believes that the time has come when both politi-. cal parties in Toronto should nomin- ate Jews. and points to the fact that ‘:3. .;I 3.75. III; ‘L’; <T=LT

slice the “last census," 1921 over one million immigrants have come to Canada. Natural increase accountsl for rather more than another mil- lion, yet the total increase in popu- lation has not been one million all told. That is, since 1921, people, immigrants plus native-born. have been leaving this country at the en- ormous rate of about. 170,000 per year. ‘ - Wholesale immigration, by forcing our youth to seek careers across the border simply render us a training ground for American citizens.

Some of the Liberal press, recent- ly converted to protectionism. fol- lowing the lead of the King Govern- ment. are evincirig the true renegade spirit in their advocacy of the newly discovered cult. Many of them are more strenuous in their advocacy of protection under its new title "count- ervailing duties" then were the or- lginal founders of the national policy.

Tbehlgli rounded roads in some sections of the province. are already responsible for the loss of human life. It is most regrettable that. men placed in charge of such an import- ant public service as road making. should not have been selected for their practical common sense. in- stead of for the political service they have rerr-Zered to their party.

THOUGHTS ABOUT "ma MIND i

When we think that despite the age of man in the world, it is not very long ago that individuals with sick minds were loaded with chains, bound like galley slaves. and thrown into frightful dens at the mercy of their attendants. and ‘chess aband- ants convicts from prison, it shocks us beyond words.

The first help given these unfort- unates was by some English physic- ians. not with the idea of being able to help their mental condition, but simply because of a. humane desire to da all possible to make‘ their lives happier.

Then research men began to rea- lize that the brain was a part of the body. an organ Just. as was the liver and heart and so they began to study it. Thus as they studied the struct- ui-e ‘of the brain and how it worked,| they found that certain definite por- tions of the brain controlled certain definite functions of the body.‘

This was of considerable help in lo- eating inJuries to the brain that were causing paralysis of anns, legs and so forth, but did riot locate what. was causing depression. melan- cholia, fits. uncontrollable rage and other mental symptoms.

Despite careful examination, re- search men have not been able to z-ze actual physical changes in the brain substance that they could def- iflfifiq? state were causing any of the above symptoms. -

And so our brain specialists have to stutly the brain from the actions of the individual, from his thoughts. when they can get the patient to ex- press them.

It is not hard to recognize an “im- becile‘ because the train of this poor individual never did develop; or if it did it was never past the first years of childhood. A demented person, on the other hand, has had brain power at one time, but something has made him lose it. either temporarily, or permanently. In imbecility and de- mentia. an actual change in the

However where there is excitement depression, or an actual loss of in- terest in everything. there is not. the gross changes in the brain sumtance.

Then there are ‘hallucinations’ when the patient sees an object that has no real existence. ‘Delusions ‘are false beliefs. where the patient, may think he is the King o.’ England. President_cf the United States, or

plex. Or he may have the delusion that. some one is attempting to harm or persecute him in some way. t ‘.- rfiere the patient ets the idea in his mind at times that there is something wrong with him or some one else. There are times when he knows this is not true. Perhaps these definitions will help

you as you think about the mind, and the problem it. presents to physic- ians. '

Most o! , these continents have room for many I more people. despite the increases; The facts recall the gloomy apretllc- ,‘ tions made by Thomas Robert, Malthus. the British economist. who, flourished between use and 1834, 1 it was in 119a that Malthus published { his “Essay on Population." which i caused a furore and which is period-

ically quclrd to this day. some econo- 1 mists upholding his contentions de- B‘ spite the knocks that have been given l lll practice on numerous occasionsi since. The conclusion reached byi this famous economist was that an

increan: in population, unless ‘prece-

ed by a. corresponding increase in J the means of subsistence. must l necessarily lead to either increased l mortality or misery among the peop- l les. Malthus based his theory on the ‘ assumption that. whereas population increased by geometrical progression. the food supply could increase only‘ by arithmetical progiirsslon. His followers went the length of predict- ing that starvation would reduce the population of the world or at least prevent it from growing in appreci- able cirgree. His opponents argued that the food supply could be maln- tairied at sufficient height to feed all and sundry. Since the day of Mal- thus. as a. matter of fact, the number t of the people has grown enormously and even in lands where famine used to come as a. result of drought. cor.- ditions are better now than ever bu- fore. Communication has done much to limit the families. In this respect India may be cited. As late as fifty years ago. millions p‘rished' in the course of a twelvemonth from famine and plague caused by drought. Since then, irrigation and communication have virtually defea- ted thesis terrors of torrid zones. The British administration is respon- sible for the improvement. It, may be stated that. everywhere the p:ople are better nourished today than at any former period, and that the ordinary peoplr have foods that were once only consumed by princes. Pro- duction of foodstuffs has more than kept up with the growth in popul- atlori. The recent. grain glut is an example.

SOME STRIKING WHEAT FAOIS

Q. What are some striking wheat facts?

A. Wheat facts in Canada are: Canada's wheat production increased ten times from 1900 i56,000 bus.) to 1928 ($33,000,000 bus.) The area sown to wheat in I929, will probably be 3 million acres. which is increasing at, the rate of a million acres a year. 90 per cent of the all-Canadian produc- tlon is grown in the three prairie provinces. Canada is the world's largest exporter of wheat to fifty countries. the same as to flour, Can- ada is therefore. one of the worlds
