Mr. Rowe Should Explain *———-——-———u

_ In‘ a recent address before the Toronto Railway Club, Hon. C. D. Howe, Minister of Railways, tpok strong objection to the Railway Act passed in i933 which requires that the chief operating officer of the railways shall report and be responsible only to the Board of Trus- tees. The Minister was quoted as declaring in effect that if he is to be held responsible for the Department over which he presides, he intends having a say in the “direction and control of

management and policies" of the railways, This _is_ interpreted as meaning-if it has any_ significance at all-—that the Canadian National Railways go back to the old system of political control. The appointment of Trustees by the late government to operate the Canadian

Germ-guy Doffs Its Hat

--___._... EARL JELLICOE is ireferred to by two Ber-

lin newspapers as a “knightiy adversary." PAUL SCHEFFER, formerly the Washington‘ corres- pondent and now editor of the Berliner Tageblatt, says in a long front page editorial:

“The name of JaLucoe, the leading figure

of the battle of Jutland, is arved more deeply in the German memory than that cif any other adversary pf high military command in the war.

"Germany doffs its hat to the knightly ad-

versary, who often had taken the floor on his own behalf (a reference to EARL Jlzudcolfs defenses of his own tactics at Jutland), but always with moderation and always with a proper regard for the man and men on the other side. With JELLXCOE, an excellent mariner and a whole-souled patriot has died."

administration of the system to three trustees was to divorce the railways from political. in. fluence and give them an absolutely strict business management. i

It will be generally admitted, says the Molicton Yilllvr in this connection, that there has been in years past altogether too much pol- itical interference iii the control alld manage- ment of the government-owned railways for thc good of the country. It will also be admitted that under the policy adopted by the BENNETT Government there was less political meddling in the management of the railways than in any similar period in their history. '

MR. Howl: may not have intended his rc- marks to convey the ominous significance which attaches to them. In that event, he should take the earliest opportunity of clarifying them. Canada does riot want, and cannot afford, a rcturii to the orgy of extravagance iii railway administration which characterized the era of control by politicians.

“It will be unfortunate if some convincing reason for repudiating Dr. Riupecifs action is riot produced, or if the Government does not admit frankly that its statement was ill-advised and inexcusable. The Napauee Baal/er makes an observation which may be in iiiany minds. ‘It seems a strange thing,’ it says, ‘that Canada ivas ivilling to admit the application of economic sanctions against Italy, so long as they were innocuous. But just at the moment when they appeared iii thc way t0 effect a real check on hlussouuis ambitions, Canada decides to try and get out from under the responsibility.’

In Lanarkshirc, Scotland, the Edu- cation authorities ordered that every "child at- tending school should receive a. pint of milk every forenooii, with the proviso that children whose parents considered it unwise could be exempted by sending a certificate to that effect. Literally, before many days, thousands of child- reli became “fed-up" with their milk lunches, and the number who are regularly taking it has fallen from 64,890 in Februaryito 46,122 in September. The disfavour in which it has fallen arises from the excuse that the milk spoils the appetite for the mid-day meal. It is a nice point whether it may not be doing harm rather than good, for we all know that a sharp appetite is essential to fitness, and indeed is one of the cruder. pleasures of life.
