IN TIME 0F CRISIS .

l‘ ting on the Provincial election results, the Montreal Btar says:

“It was not any particular party that failed in Prince Edward island. lt was one-party government. The problems before all governments to- day are too difficult. too grim and too imperative for the ordinary methods of our bl-party system to solve. We put one party in power; and then we put another party across the House strong enough and vigilant, enough and. office-hungry enough to exhaust the resources of invective, demogoguery, captious criticism and vicious appeals to local interests to prevent the party in power from doing the drastic and daring things that must he done to save the country. _

“We can afford this elaborate system for securing the widest, crit- icism in our heady days of prosper- ous times, plenty oi employment and ample leisure to enjoy the "sport" of party foot-ball. But we cannot afford it during a deadly crisis. No country ever has been able to afford it when there was a job to be done that required all the united resour- ces oi the nation. Great Britain

could not. She formed a National Government. Australia could not. South Africa could not. The Amer- icans tried to reach the same effect by making it, practically unanimous for one party; and look where they have landed.

' "All the brains of all the parties combined will not give us too much brain power to find the means and summon up the courage to pull Can- ada out of the quicksands.

“Surely it will not ‘be denied that Canada is passing through a crisis— passing through, if she is lucky, or going under, if she continues to drift. Not one of her public men will stand up and say that her pres- ent practice of only letting the Gov- ernment get through Parliament as much as the sniping of the Opposi- tion partles will permit can ever even approach the measures which are plainly required to overcome that crisis. No one-party Govern- ment will be strong enough. It may have the best will in the world. But every one knows where the pave- ment constructed oi "good inten- tions" leads.

"when the French Premier, Laval, wanted to do the things he deemed necessary for France, he sent his Parliament home. 1t would be fair- er to say that the French Chamber. realising that, the constant pressure of local interests would compel it to destroy any vigorous Government policy by incessant "back-seat" driv- kig, put, Laval in office, voluntarily voted him the necessary POW". "id then went home. 1f tho iriiilfed 0X‘ frightened feelings of Little Podunk are always to be pennli-i-Bd i0 PB?- alyse the action of the most in- telligent Government. then broad national interests will never be serv- ed ‘and the whole nation will col- lase because Little Podunk is afraid that it may lose an assistant station agent.

"The reason that the two or three party system must “kow tow" to metre Podunk is plain. A local loss may obscure national issues in the minds oi the Little r unkers. This will lead them to vote against the Government. Enough oi such local irritations can destroy B- Giivem’ ment. Any Opposition, motivated b! m-dingry political ambitions, will in- flame these local irratlons and hOPB u; reap the benefits. But the Same opposition, united with the Gov- ernment party in a National Admin- istration, will soothe local irritations m4 help pujh through national re- forms.

"It is not the men who are wronl but, the system. Even the system is not always wrong. It works in W!" parity. But it breaks down. and hi! glqnyl broken down. and has usu- ally and almost universally been dic- gq-ded, in a national ctilil!‘

The September dates were the 17th in ma. when the Liberals were defeated by Sir John A. Maodonald on the National Policy issue; the 21st in 1911, when the Laurier min- istry was overthrown; and the 14th in 1M6 when Mr. Mackenzie King secured his second mandate.

A’ FINE EXAMPLE!

Our o- ntomporary quotes the Hul- ifax Liberal press as stating, with regard to the provincial election campaign: “Some of the arguments used to further the government cause were fantastic, such as the Conservative leader's aversion to balance the budget."

The “aversion" which the Con- servative leader expressed on every occasio - was to misleading the people into believing that the bud- get could be balanced under present economic conditions. ‘

Perhaps if the Halifax Liberal press looked nearer home it would find out which policy was "fantas- tic." Its own government 88-11165 power largely on the same promises as the Liberal party in this arc- vince, by decrying the "QXiPflVB-Sfllit" record of its predecessors and pro- mising economy all along the line.

We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that the leaders of various sec- tions do not always realise their re- sponsibilities in the matter of ex- cessive political aeaL Instead oi setting a good ex tempu- ance of language they often point the way for their less well informed followers by bitter and unrestrain- ed invective, with underlying sug- gestions of dishonesty of motive. Politics play far too large a part in the life of this country. Political differences are not necessarily an evil; they may have quite a good influence. But there is no justifica- tlon for the too u. attitude that those who do not share our own opinions arc dishonest, untrustwor- thy. or to be shunned.—Irish Inde- pendent (Dublin).

A popular columnist says no man can be a political leader in this country unless he has a good pair of lungs.

Now it is one of our commonest vegetables and one of the healthiest of eat ables. we learn-We absorb new knowledge and new inventions as though they were expected! We can aflclrd, however, to be "old fashioned" when it comes to our ideas of right and wrong for there is nothing either new or old about this. Human nature does not change. Only ideas. A tiny microscope will reveal more of life than the aver- age man has ever d. amed about. A New World opens up. We actually know very little. We have every reason to be thankful. We are liv- ing in good times!

A United States visitor over the road one day last week, commented on the signs as "good business" since they removed a feeling of criticism, and justified the comparative roughness of the road. "Wiil I come back again next year-you bet I will! Those new highways are go- lng to be great."

IHJIVING BAY FIVIB BUFIIBIBS

Toward the end of August in northern climates and before that in the south, about one in every sir individuals will begin to sneeze, have-a “running nose", and sore, reddened eyes, They will be suffering with hay fever, pollen catarrh, rag- weed poisoning, or other names that are applied to this condition. The symptoms continue until the arrival of frost or cold weather.

The reason that the other five of the six do not suffer with these wmptoms is because they are not ‘scnesaitive’ to the pollen from rag-

w .

‘llhis tendency is inherited to a great extent, perhaps as high as 9n per cent of patients know of some parent or relative who was also a suflerer.

If these individuals can go to die. tricts where there is no ragweed or can spend a goodly portion of the day in a room or cabinet which is kept free from the ragweed pollen, they have little or no symptoms. As this is not possible for most pat- ients some means of curing or re- lieving the condition is everywhere sought.

Many patients undergo the pm. we o! trying to have this sensitive- ne“ i0 rflgweed Pflllen removed by having small quantities of the pollen injected beneath the skin, just as children and others are now protect- ed from diphtheria, scarlet fever and other infectious ‘lseases.

At first the treatment consisted in giving the injections during the hay fever season which, while not rid- ding the patient of the symptoms, gave him some measure of relief.

Latterly the treatment has con- sisted in giving the injections some weeks ahead of the time when the ragweed or other forms of pollen would be floating ‘in the air. some- times one series of‘ injections given during a period of six weeks prev- ious to the pollen season time pre- vented any attacks of hay lever. Other patients have found it nec- essary to take these injections for two and three years before obtain- ing relief, while others have obtain- ed no relief after from five to six‘ series of injections.

More recently the idea oi giving these injections all the year sound has gained favor with some physic- ians as treatment may be started at any time and permits the use of other pollens which may have a part in causing hay fever symptoms. The injections are given once or twice a month.

For the local treatment the use of the juice from the suprarenal or ad- renal glands-epinephrln orzadren- alln—is now the base of many pre- parations obtainable in drug stores.

The Alberta Melee

(Toronto Globe)

Now that it has settled into the "heat" of the camptgn, the Alberta election. to be decided at the-polls on Thursday. Aug. 22, presents the most complex picture of any West- ern election within memory. In ad- dition to the four main parties that have previously made up the Government and Opposition-the U.1".A.. Liberal, Conservative and Labor Parties-there will he candi- dates representing the Aberhart so- cial credit system, the Douglas social credit system, communism, socialism, and, of course. the cus. tomary number of independent programs.

In fact there will be more than 200 candidates. most of whom al- ready have been nominated, con- testing the sixty-three available wit’. and anythilg or everything may result. There is. however. lit- tls support from the Western ob- servers for the Liberal Party's hopes of duplicating the sweeping party victories that have taken place in other Provinces across the country in the past, year or so. There is also the opinion that the Government (U.1=‘.A.) party has considerably weakened its own chances of being returned to power, at least with a majority over all. by holding the election over sn extra year. A year sgo the Gov- ernment would not have had to face the same criticism of the un- employment and public debt prob- lems, and the social credit theorists would not have had the same hold on the public imagination as the promise oi slfi-a-month grants to every man, woman and ch‘ld has brought them.

The appearance of the social Credit Parties is interesting for one fact alone. This will be the first opportunity they have given the public to express in some can- crefc and measurable way their actual strength in that Province. the only Province which has dons anything more than "toy" with its theories.

CANADA FIRST

Sin-The 0, 0. 1",. fo their own theory, has a cure for all Canadian ills. Mr. Stevens now appears to believe that by saving himself he can save Canada; he dips into the mechanics of groceries and miilinery from wholesale to re- taiiandteilsusthatisalltthatis to it. Mr. Mackende King has the next election all won-so why say anything or do anything about it? Added to these are, the two non- political thoughts for the present-

while last but not least is that great

haven of non-thought. for those

unable to think, Communism. All these groups have the same end in view. They are each trying to present the most attractive and workable plan of social or econom- ic reconstruction. As a consequen , we have confusion and contention, a babel oi impatient voices, that grow all the more noisy and confus- ed the longer they clamor around that puzzle of modern times: Want amidst plenty. They are unani- mous in declaring thri‘. the Plenty must be distributed, it must be made available to Need. But, and here is where the real problem comes in, how may the Plenty be distributed without des- troying the Plenty? Also, how may those in need be given from our Plenty without the receiving doing them actually more harm. than good? We have seen the havoc wrought by excem prosperity or an excess ability to gratify the wants that too ofion seem to only keep pace with the ‘ability to gratify them, till we can about say that proportionately as many have been injured by excess as by want in this vale of tears, contradictions and irregularities that we call Life. However, to anhievethe happy mean between excess and destitu- tion we submit that all the above mentioned divisions of thought may contribute some good suggestions, they each may offer a, part of_ the solution; yet fundamental to all ether requirements, and our or their ability to meet them, there are, we submit certain principles that we can not overlook. and among them the following: 1—Plenty once achieved must be maintained, it cannot remain static or be allowed to depreci- ate or it will soon disappear.

2—L5W and order must be firmly maintained.

8-.A scientific plan for the distri- bution of the wealth or benefits of our social order must be worked out and put into opera»- tion in such a way that a mini- mum of waste, lost motion. con- fusion and consequently dis- tress and destruction results.

It is clear to any thinking person that a. new era of scientific man- agement of the activities of mod- ern life dawns. Distribution of the products of industry or the bene- fits of industry being one phase that must be accomplished without, in its reorganization, bringing about a disorganization of human rela- tionship that is also as important and as refractory in its solution as any problem that confronts us.

While our varied groups are struggling with the problems, each in its own way, alongside them the whole scheme of human thought, envirmment. eXDerience, knowledge attainment and effort moves un- consciously like a tide to the same end. Slow indeed may these auto- matic self operating forces and laws appear to be at times, yet their progression is inevitable and thev can not be denied.

sometimes they can be obscured
