The Federal Liberal lesder is not frank enough to admit that the dc- pressiorl was enormously accentuat- ed by- the action oi _ the United States while he was in power in

‘passing ever-increasing tarifl re- strictions which reduced Canadian exports oi farm products and manu- factures oi farm products to that country from ll75,000,000 per annum to a little over $3,000,000 per annum. Nor does he tell his hear- ers that, in spite o1 the most difli- oult world conditions this country has ever faced, the Bennett admin- istration has maintained the nat- ional credit at the highest level, reduced interest rates to a very low level, donegmore for the farmer than any previous administration and placed a great deal oi neces- sary social and economic reform legislation upon the statute books. Mr. King would be regarded as

THE PENDULUM

An interesting comparison is made by the sydney Post-Record o1 the present political situation with that which existed in the pcst-war depression period some twelve or thirteen years ago. On December 31, 1022, there was not. a single Conservative Government in all Canada. The line-up oi Provin- cial Administrations on that date was as follows:

P. E.,Is1and

Nova Sootia ..

New Brunswick ~ Quebec

Ontario

Manitoba

Saskatchewan gAlbcrta V British Colombia

To complete this anti-Conserv- ative picture, Mr. jMackenzie King was Prime Minister oi Canada, the tally in the I-louse oi Commons bo-

iing ll’! Liberals, 50 Conservatives, o6 Progressives, and 3 Labor mem- ‘ hers.

In less than 30 months. the pol- Itlcal pendulum had swung so iar against "dominant" Liberalism as

- to change every Government that faced the people within that period. 0n Dezember 31, i925, the line-up oi Provincial Governments present- nd this radically changed picture:

Whitman considers that in the teen age the sebaceous or oil glands are often not working properly; that the blood supplied these glands may vary slightly from ,norm.al at times and because oi this slight diflerence or change in tho blood the quantity and quality oi the oil in these glands becomes al- tered. Thus it cannot flow freely out onto the surface oi the skin, gets dammed back, and the acne or

pimple is formed.

Dr. Whitman believes that the

whole cause oi this change in the blood which in turn alters the con- dition oi the oil arises irl the intes- tinal canal. Oi course some skins seem to lend themselves more readily to the formation oi pimples; ttflsc with naturally large and very active glands suffering more from the up- set and hence from acne, than those with less active glands-

The first treatment then is a mat- ter oi diet. He points out that it is not wise to out down too heavily the diet of rapidly growing youth and therefore suggests the follow- ingz-

Cheese oi all kinds. chocolate,

cocoa, and suet puddings should never be eaten as they are rich in fat and hard to digest. Bacon, ham, sausage, duck and goose are cut down to a low point because they contain so much fat, as also should butter, cream, milk and eggs for thesame reason. Skim milk may be taken freely. This does not mean that the var- ious methods of treatment both in- ternal and external should not be used because experience shows that they help to clear up more rapidly iresh crops oi pimples that occur. But. the proper diet-fat free-with green vegetables helps to prevent the formation oi the pimples.

Our Share 0f World Trade Higher Than In 1929

(Mail and Empire) Opposition SpPBkCPS and news- papers constantly play with the untruth that the present Ottawa Government has blorked the export channels for Canadian products and that it is therefore responsible ior the depression. The fact oi the matter is that Canada. has made a more general and a more rapid recovery from the depths oi the depression than any other nation, except perhaps Great Britain. Statistics given out by the Secret- ariat oi the League of Nations at Geneva show that not only has

9° Canada's share oi total world ex-

ports increased since 1932, but that it has risen materially since i029 when the Mackenzie King Govern- ment was about to go out oi oince. Thus. in 1029 Canada's share 0i the export trade oi the world was 3.71 per cent. whereas last year it had risen to 3.99 per cent. In 1930 Canada's share dropped to 3.42 per cent. and in 1931 to 3.29 per cent. In 1932 it stood at 3.78, in 1903 at 3.59 and last year it rose to 3.99. This improvement in Canada's relative position is further shown when it is noted that whereas the total value oi the export trade oi the world last year was only 34.3 per cent. of the 1929 figure, the value cf Canada's export trade in 1934 was 37.8 per cent. oi the 1929 figure.

Britain And Her Navy

(Ottawa Journal)

The London Dally Herald. omcial organ of the British Labor party. but owned by good capitalists, is authority for the statement that Britain plans a new fleet costing $750,000,000 by 1942. As the Daily Herald has been showing an extra- ordinary awareness of "behind-the- scenes" activities, and considering a statement by Sir Bolton Eyres- Monsell. First Lord of the Admir- alty, that publication oi the Gov- ernment's program would be "against the interests oi the public and the peace of the world," the story seems reliable.

All the more so. seeing that the Daily Herald gives details. It says that the new schedule calls for the construction of l2 newcapital ships and 33 cruisers, that. in addition. there will be 63 new flotilla leader- destroyers, 2i new submarines and three new aircraft carriers.

If this be Britain's answer to what has been happening in Ger- many, then the world may realise more clearly the n. entoushess oi what came when Hitler practically trampled on the. Vefsailles Treaty. Nor can blame go to Britain For fifteen years she has labored un- ceasinglv toward peace and disar- mament. She backed up her lab- ors by practical disarmament. If today, therefore, with all hei- efforts brought to naught, with nations all about her arming steadily, she is driven to pntcct her old suprem- coy, to sec to it that her sea-divid- ed pas-sessions are not imperllled. who can blame her?
