CANADA “SAFER”

Recently the Dominion Govern-

ment mcceeded in borrowing money in New York at t.he remark- ably low interest rate of 2 per

mart: that the municipalgovern- moot of New York city when it needs money nowadays, has to pay I much higher interest rate than that even when its goes to its own New York bankers for it.

gwwhat is x that makes Canada. no much safer than New York?" asks Mr. Arthur Brisbane of the Henri newspapers. " “Every man in understands international rm-

nxioe knows that ii’ anything like a‘

collapse happened in the United States. the British Etmpire wouid orumple up in sympathy, Canada in- cluded."

The notion that if the United; State: "collapsed." it would mean the inevitable crumpling up of the British Empire or Canada, com- ments the Vancouver Province. is» merely the grandiose noticu of a super-patriotic American tub- thumper. It was the same notion. before the grand suiash in Wall Street in 1929. which persuaded the super-United States patriot that his country was immune from the economic cifafnlrios which afflicted lees-favored nations. It seems that the lessons oi 1929-1934 are not to receive any advertisement in the Hearst newspapers.

"The plain fact," concludes the Province. "is that if the Govern- ment. of Canada. can borrow money, cheaper in New York City thani New York City's government can' borrow it, then, in the cipiniou of New York bankers. Canada's gov- ernment is a better risk than New York city's government. And if the United States "collapsecP-although we should no more think that like- l-y than Mr. Brisbane thinks it-we can assure him that Canada wouldn't "crumple up in sympathy." Canada would be sympaihetlc, and Canada. would surely be badly hit, ‘but Canada. w0illd try to find a way not to cr-umple up."

'I‘he striking thing about the Brisbane statement. however, is the implied recognition of Canada's mound economic position. This is not to be wondered at, considering the phenomenal progress this country has been makirtg out of the world depression-a progress which the League of Nations Economic com- mittee finds to be greaier than that of any other country.

HISTORY-MAKING FAIR

Now that the excitement of last week has subsided, it is fitting that more than passing tribute be paid to Colonel D. A. MacKinnon, D.S.O., and his fellow directors and mem- bers of the Provincial Exhibition As- sociation for their magnificent ef- forts to make this year's F2111‘ the success it was, despite unavoidable difficulties.

Tuesday's and Wednesdays record breaking attendance at the Exhibi- tion would undoubtedly have been duplicated on Thursday but for the‘ unfavorable weather which necessit- ated a pwtponement. of the racing programme. Unfortunately, it was

following day, coincident with the Cartier Celebration; and many who otherwise would have flocked to the Exhibition grounds were unable to do so. This, we rcpcat, could not be avoided; it vsus one of the difficul- ties faced by the management, and accepted with philosophic resigna- tion as “part oi the game." Another misfortune, also unavoid- able so far as the management was concerned, was the outbreak of fire which destroyed a section of the

' their campaign despite

horse stables and caused the loss of Captain Road's fine racer. This rc- grettable incident “'05 not allowed to ‘ interfere with the programme, the management, at additional heavy ex- I pense, taking immediate steps to re- pair the damage.

Despite financial loss involved in the incidents above referred to, the Exhibition this your, both from the exhibitors’ and the spectators‘ stand- I point, was undoubtedly one of the] most successful ever held in Eastern Canada. The livestock and farm cx- hibits were of u high standard; mer- chants and manufacturers‘ co-ogzcra- ' ted to make a splendid showing int the main building; the midway nt-,' tractions excited more than usual- lntcrcst; the horse racing, espcciallyj on Friday, was of 1i. kind to make.’ provincial track history; while the

Ontario's Liquor Commissioner, Mr. E. G. Odette is being oom- mended by his party press because of his announcement that no beer selling licences would in future be grrinted to any hotel within a. city block of a. ohurch or school. His pronouncement was prompted by the protest of Rev. Dr. T. F. Shields that Jarvis Street Baptist Church was embarrassed by the number of bever- age rooms in close proximity. Mr. Odette, declines. however, to with- draw the licences already granted.

Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett has gone to the assistance of Hon. "Mich" Hepburn in his endeavour to bor- row money cheapiy. At least that is what the intrepid “Mich" told Ot- tawa newspapermen after his inter- view with the Prime Minister. When asked how? “In connection with ex- ternal loans," the Premier replied. "Foreign markets are not necessarily well posted on the standing of our provinces. They would be guided largely by a federal recommenda- tion. It is something that we do not need in connection with our domestic loans. Our own people know our standing." He then pro- coc-ded to intimate that Ontario peopie might be elven the cp-por- tunity of subscribing to provincial debentures. So that's that.

Although the Ontario Hydro Probe Commissioners have not yet reported, the Toronto Globe sees fit to adversely criticize it for no: hearing all the evidence that should have been available. Damn- ing the Commision with faint praise it concludes as follows: “'I‘here is full confidence in the Commission, and in the prospect that when its task is completed the entire Abltbl and Ontario Power Service deal, as affecting public in- terests. will be an open book. For this reason The Globe believes that an explanation is desirable, at some point, as to why these pos- sible witnesses have not been call- ed upon to add to enlightment." Surely it does not suggest there is a nigger in this particular woodpile of Premier Hepburn!

A new move in providing religious services to Churchless people in Scotland has just received the bics~ sing of the Church of Scotland Com- mission.

The War office in said to have under consideration a. project for moving Woolwich Arsenal to South Wales, says London Sunday Des- patch and the primary l object would be safety from ulr attack, but it would have many other advantages. In the War London proved to be anything but an ideal site for an ordnance factory. Soonero" later, and: the sooner the better, not only Wooliwich Arsenal but all our aircraft factories will have to be moved to places less accessible to enemy bombers, as a matter of common precaution.

An important new development in the mining industry of Canada recently has been the production of palladium, otherwise known as natural “white gold," a. metal- which is v/frlte, non-tarnisha-blef resistant to all but concentrated nitric acid, and capable of being beaten into leaf. For electrical purposes it possesses qualities akin to platinum. It is being extensively used in the Jewelry trade and in dentistry as well.

A mountain of ice was uncovered recently by highway crews working a mile east of Hot Sulphur Springs, U. S. A.. and: geologists speculated as to whether it was an old glacier or an inland sea that has been frozen perhaps a million years ago. Mixed with the ice are sea. shells salt and sand similar to that found on ocean beaches. When steam shovels bit into the huge body of ice the foreman in charge of the job believed he had struck n wall of granite. He sent to Denver for special tools and thcn found by drilling into the mass that is was solid ice. The strange formation was discovered about twenty feet underground while the crew was excavating a deep cut for a new State road.

Why is business improving in Great Britain? 1 Because foreign countries have confidence in our ability to manufacture and deliver according to contract. 2. Because the banks, by paying virtually no interest on deposits, are forcing idle millions into productive channels-London Sunday Referee

Under Nazi rule it is almost im- possible for Hitler to be defeated by a. vote of over fifty percent against him, and under the ar- rangements that. would not give the victory to anybody else. However. things being as they are. the result of the plebiscite confirming him as president‘ as vrcll as chancellor must be taken as a. very distinct set-back. In the last plebiscite to endorse. Nazi policy a contra. vote of 4.8 percent was recoreded and 2. percent spoilt ballots; this time it was 9.8 percent contra and two percent of the ballots spoilt. Opposition sufficiently daring to cast. a vote against the Nazi proposal is doubled. and although it may seem to represent only one-tenth of the _German people, it actually means much more than that.

Culmlnating in the wholesale bloodshed at Minneapolis, armed force has been unleashed aga nst striking workers- with deplorable frequency of late The public, which does not pretend to under- stand all the ins and outs of the present epidemic of industrial dis- putes, is nevertheless clear in its mind: on two points. The first of these is that bullets never provide a permanent solution for any labour trouble. And the other con- viction is that there is something very un-Amerlcan, and rather too reminiscent or procedure in Czarist Russia, in the use of massacre tactics against unarmed mobs. Washington Post:

The people of the United States consider the fight against crime as a spectacle, say L'Ordre Montrcai: In the general gold rush among our neighbours Dillinger took the shorter and more dangerous route. The public followed with interest the exploits of the champion. Dil- lingeris experience was, at bottom. at one with that of all record- brcakers. The press published extensively the succcs, now of the police, now of Dillinger. There was a crowd present at the execution of the bandit on the open street of Chicago. The police themselves called it a “representation? No one would have been surprised ii there had been several photographer's and a. cinema reporter pvcscnt. The disastrous effects of an unhealthy public curiosity could be corrected by a solid and vigorous organisa- tion of the judiciary. But in no other civilized country perhaps is the organisation of the Judiciary so defective as in thc United States. In order to introduce democracy and universal suffrage everywhne the jury system is abusrd and thc judges chosen haphazard.

VOMITING ATTACKS Pit-EVENT!!!) BY SUGAR

One of the distress oondlflgng in childhood is attackisuof vomiting that occur from time to time.

While the usual treatment is to have the child do without any food for 24 hours and the use of mag- nesia, baking soda or some other n.1- kali, nevertheleqs parents are often at a. loss to know Just what food or foods may have brought on the at- tacks of vomiting.

Of course 1n cases where the at- tacks occur only once in a. great while it is not hard’ to locate the cause-too much food, eating when tired, eating unripe food, eating too fast,—but when the attacks occur often, with no apparent cause, there must; be a reason.

Dr. S. A. Siwe, Berlin, shows that in the attacks of vomiting occurring at frequent intervals it is really be- cause the livcr is not doing its work properly. As the liver stores sugar it might be felt that foo many candies might be responsible for the vomit- ing by overworking the liver, but Dr. Siwe points out that children with these regular attacks of vomiting do not usually like sugar and candies, but show a decided liking for fat foods.

This means then that instead of sugar or candy causing the trouble it is usually due to too much fat food-cream, butter, fat or greasy foods, fat meat, egg yolks, pastries, cheese, pork, goose, duck, turkey, nuts, chocolate, cocoa, bacon, vege- table -oils.

Now these fat foods are all good foods, giving fuel or heat to the body, warding off infections, and

Leisure Time For Pupils

iChrLstian Science lifonitor) Several hundred secondary age pupils were asked recently what change in the school program would be most appreciated. A good ma- jority replied that the most wel- come change would be a. period of free time each day. The pupils would use this time for any Pur- pose they wished: study, creative work in shop or library, reading, or in informal discussions.

One of the criticisms which the average parent levels against the modern school system is that. it places too much pressure on the “teen age“ boy and girl. There is no time for the pupils to use as they wish. Boys and girls must not go into a world echoing the cry of too many modern adults, “We have no time to enjoy living."

The average pupil has a full school program of studies in the morning. In the afternoon there ore athletics, dramatics, debating. musical organizations, the school paper, make-up for lost work, horne- room activities and clubs of all sorts. In the evening there seems to be an appalling amount of home work. Many pupils also belong to outside organizations.

The world's knowledge is increas- ing tremendously. But unless we teach boys and girls the art of re- laxing, the joy of a brief period of self-communion, the true happiness
