Still Unimplemenfed

At a luncheon of the Canadian National Exhibition last week Hon. W. L. Hall. Attomey-General of Nova Scotla, properly called attention to the fact that of the 29 findings of

the Duncan CommLssion only 7 have-

been fully implemented; 12 have been partially implemented while on l0 no action whatever has been taken. Mr. Hall's statement dam not accord 11th the election campaign speeches of Liberal candidates in this Province. but it acoords with the truth. The findings of the Commislsion and the action or inaction of the King C-cv- ernmerit with respect thereto, have been exhaustively analyzed by the Si. John Board of Trade, and this ana- lysis fully substantiates Mr. Hall's remarks. The absurd contention that the Duncan Report had been knple- mented 100 percent or "practically 1Q percent" was easily refuted by Cm- servative speakers in the recent cam- paign. and served further to discredit the Liberal candidates who resorted to such obviously irresponsible meth- ods of winning support

It is significant that Premier Lea ilso spoke before the directors of the Canadian National Exhibition and emphasized the need of reduced freight rates to Central Canadian markets and of a readjustment of Prince Edward Island subsidy claims. In both these matters comprehensive recommendations were made by ‘the Duncan Commission which have not been oanied. out. It is obvious therefore that Premier Lea and Attorney-Gen- eral Hall are in agreement as to the failure of the King Government to implement two at least of the im- portant findings of the Commission.

Sane Tarifi Legislation

An example of the mariner in which the Bennett Government is tackling the ploblem of protection for Can- adian producers is seen in an order- iii-council. recently passed. to prevent the dumping in Canada. of fir doors made in the United States. Under the terms of this ordrr, a reasonable price is fixed on such doors for tariff purposes. the policy being to pro- tect domestic manufacturers and to enable them to give more emloy- ment to Canadian workmen. In an- nouncing this action, sir George Per- ley, acting Prime Minister, serveld notice on the domestic manufactur- ers that the continuance of the new regulation will be conditional strict- ly on their not attempting to take ad- vantage of the increased duty to raise their prices. “During the last elec- tion," Sir George says _in his an- nouncement. “it was made abundant- ly clear that the Conservative party intends to use all means in its power to give Canadians work in their own country: but at the same time it will not permit anyone to exploit, or to charge the consumers unfair prices."

This is sound policy and good sense, and it may confidently be anticipat- ed that in whatever future changes are made in the tariff for the ben- efit of home producers the wise pre- caution will be taken to prevent ex- ploitation of the consumer. The dis- mal forbodings of the Liberal press that prices will soar unreasonably under the Conservative protection policy

There is always somebody or something to take the joy out of life and to add to human anxiety.

It is not difficult to imagine the very real advantage such an inven- tion will confer upon those who are obliged to do much long distance telephoning or who find speaking over the telephone difficult.

THE SYRINGE 5 AND "rm-z NEEDLE

The morning letter-box of every doctor and the reticent shop-win- dows of the chemists in our aristoc- ratic quarters alike afford evidence of the vogue enjoyed by vaccines. serums and other alleged antigenic and immunizing substances. The in-

seems in no way to lessen the faith of the more credulous members of the public and of the medical pro- fession. The relative success attend- ing the use of anti-tetanus serum. anti-scarlet-fever serum, ' mococcic serum (type 1) and, most striking of all, anti-diphtheria serum. shelters a multitude of plauslbilities So, also, with vaccines and antigens When we have mentioned those er

fective in diphtheria, typhoid, rabie: and smallpox. we have left on our hands a long list of products whose only claim to existence is commerc- ial. r Therapeutic immunization against

disease has not. in fact, progressed so

rapidly as. at ane time, seemed likely.

Just as the discovery of thecausatiw

part played by living germs in a

number of diseases led enthusiasts to

anticipate that all human disorders

ivouli, sooner or later, be thus ex-

plained; so the startling results of

certain immunizing inoculations in-

duced many a confident hope that.

before long, the immunologist with

his syringe and needle would provc

as potent a protector of the indivi-

idual from pathologic dangers as the

eanitarian had shown himself to be

of the community. '

During the war, anti-typhoid vac- cine and antitetanus serum were ex- tensively used. But we have not yet done much with such proved preven- tatives as diphtheria prophylactic, although over half a million child- ren in America have thus been im- I unized. In the veterinary world immunization has been far more widely adopted. Hundreds of thou- ‘ sands of pigs are annually injected: with swine-fever serum; and i; 1g said that in Holland and California fllvne at least 500,000 fowls are vac-A cinated against avian diphtheria every year. Millions of animals, again are annually protected from ‘rinder-i Pest and rabies by the methods of the immunologist.

The scepticism of many hard- headed doctors is largely attributable to the regrettable exploitation of the vaccine theory, and to the marketing; for commercial ends of every sort or: vaccine and serum. many of which’ serve but as placebos.

ad in the civic disorders resulting from the demands of Mahatma Gandhi and his follower: as express- ed in the latest news bulletin, pub- lished in The Guardian, for "a com- plete national government for India. responsible only to the people of In- dia. adn the right to secede at any time from the British Empire." If it were merely a question of giving self- government to a ptople nursed in democracy and educated politically to the beneficial use of the liberty which" such a franchise would entail. British statesmen would be the last to stand in the way. But no such re- sult could be expected under the present circumstances. Last yiear the British Government authorized a deci- iaration by the Governor-General of In Sis that “the attainment of Dominion status was the natural completion of India's constitutional growth." In other “words. such was the goal to b” reached. But neither national govan- merit nor Dominion status can be achieved without long apprenticeship in the business of self-goveming-- i fl h this apprenticeship which the revoltng populace of India scoms to undergo. In the meantime, the task of leading the people "along the road of responsible government" is no easy one. It can only b: achieved, as Sir John Simon points out. by sympathetic assistance from oumids. combined with slow. but pi~ogressive evolution from within.

The confvence which the British government is convening was describ- ed by the Governor-General of India, in his addrus to the Indian Legislat- ures on the 9th o! July last. as being loi- the purpose of reaching solutions that both Great Britain and India and all parties and interests in them can honorably accept, and he added that any such agreement at which ‘the confuence is able to arrive would form the basil of proposals which the __Briti|h Government would later sub- mit to I-‘arliament. In the asbence of any sudden trnnsfonnatlon of the whole scans, of which there are scant sgj-ns at present. it seems unlikely that Indians of the extremist schools of tieunmwuibaumrahmmmu

ier Bennett is pledged as much to look after the consumer, the laborer, and the farm-tr. as to safeguard the manufacturer. In fact, it is only by safeguarding the interest-s of all our citizens alike that the country can progress. The fa.ct that the Bennett administratoin has taken the first op- portunity to show its practical un- derstandlng of this principle will b: reassuring to the electors who re- turned the Government with such an overwhelming mandate on July 28th last.

The Parliamentary Session

The sptclal sesion of Parliament. now sitting at Ottawa, while it has been called primarily to consider the unemployment situation, may also be required m take positive steps for re- storing to Canadian industries more of the home market for their pro- ducts. The two subjects are inter- related. and may find, -in part It least, a common solution. Already a number of manufacturers have been in the capital and presented their views in an informal manner to dif- ferent officials and members of the Government. Cancellation of the countervailing duties imposed by the preceding administration against the United States and a paring of the e!- tensive additions to the British Re!- erence list have been suggested. In ad- dition u, any tariff changes in the in- terests of Canadian producers there is likely to come the establishment of the Tariff Commission to supplant the Tariff Board recently abolished by Premier Buinett. For such l. step, as has already been intimated by the Prime Minister, statutory authority will have m be sought.
