‘*- rnpetitive Rail Rate Reduc- Hons in relation to the Maritime Provinces“ is the subicct or an in- tax-eating brochure published by the ‘haustlortatlon Commission of the Maritime Board of Trade. Detailed figures oi rate structures are given. In a foreword it is explain- ed that the Maritime Freight Rates Act, which provided for approx- imately 20 per cent JQCUCUOII in the rail rates within the Maritimes. excepting import rates. and on the "preferred area" proportion of the haul to other Canadian points, has largely been stultifled by reason of reductions in tolls to the Central Provinces, principally for the pur- pose of meeting motor truck and water competition. The relatively small population in the Maritlmes has not been able to afford high- way improvement to the same ex- tent as the larger centres, conse- quently motor truck competition has not been given the same incen- tive to propagate as in Ontario and Quebec; hence the railways have not been forced to implement oom- petitlve Maritime rates commensur- atc with the Central Provinces.

This is the problem which the ‘Transportation Commission, under the management o: Mr. Rand H. Matheson, has set itself to solve, and the first step has

statistical information on the sub- ject. It is well to have this inform- ation in handy form, but tbs real taskJies in convincing the railway authorities that the status d sec- tions '1 and I of the Maritime Freight Rates Act must be main- tained, irrespectivo oi the principle of competitive rates. It is a question oi fighting concrete cases on their individual merits. The progress made in this direction will be" the true meas e oi the success which the Transportation oommimion has undertaken to achieve. The Com- mission has behind it the strong support oi the Maritime Govern- ments and Maritime representatives in Parliament as well as our Boards of Trade and business interests generally, and there is every reason to believe that the work now being performed will be productive of beneficial results.

HEIGHENKS’ REPLY

In‘ the Senate the other day Mr. Lemleux and Mr. Dandurand queried the House leader, Mr. Melghen, as to the prospects o1 a trade treaty with the United States. Mr. Iemieux dwelt on the advan- tages which would accrue from a greater exchange of exports be- tween Canada and the republic. adding: “It seems to me that the Government might get better re- sults if it exercised a little more ingenuity in relation to our econ-. omic relations with _the United States. It looks as if the Govern- ment is simply marking time."

This sally gave Mr. Melghen an opening of which he took full advantage. "The honorable gentle- man begs of us to be ingenious and resourceful, not merely marking time in this matter of a retiprocal arrangement with the United States. The position oi the Government in a general way was very clearly an- nounced some time ago. There are reciprocal arrangements and recip- rocal arrangements. Very great care must be taken in this country to sce that any arrangement which may be made is acceptable to the people of Canada and is a sec forward rather than a step back- ward. It is possible to have a recip- rocal anangement which would be very detrimental. The manifest _truth of that assertion needs no expansion at my hands." The Gov- ernment leader added:

“As regards using resourcefulness to get something done, I wo “ whether the honorable gentleman's memory is falling him For nine years he was a distinguished orna- Jncnt of a party which had pledged

cents a bushel against our wheat, three cents a. pound against our cattle, and so on. My honorable friend's party showed no resource- fulnes, its ingenuity was dormant, it got no results at all; it did not even mark time, but slid backwards. Things got worse year after year and were at their peak of disadvan- tage to Canada when that party went out oi oiilce in 1930. So it is pretty hard to take lessons in re- sourcefulness and ingenuity from honorable members opposi ." senator Mclgherl, of course, was right. Nothing could be more amus- ing than to hear members of the Mackenzie King Government pro- testing against the fact that our products have been shut out of the United States. The several increases in the American tariff between 192i and i930, which closed the doors to our products, were all im- posed while the late Liberal admin- istration occupied the Government benches.

flDITORIAL NOTES

The country is at its loveliest.

We are nearing the longest day oi all the year, and it happens to be a Saturday. »

Mr. and Mrs. Robie Tufts are de- lighted with the large appreciative audiences attending Mr. 'l‘lifts' ex- oeptionally fine lectures on Island bird life. This is Mrs. Tufts first visit here, and she is charmed with the scenery and enthusiastic over the industry, progress and hospital- ity of our people. This isthe sort of impression we should make on all tourists in“ order to bring them back again and yet again.

Messrs. W. K. Rogers & Co's C.N.R. ticket ofdce and insurance business will be moved soon to more central premises in the Currie Block, Queen St. The tendency of business is north, and since the C.N.R. Hotel opened, property in that vicinity has been at a pnem- ium. For thirty-five years the W. K. Roger's offices have been in their present location, being for most of that time the central part of the city.

The new Bank of Canada branch here, oi which '. D. A. Maclfiin- non is Manager. intends moving in the middle of August from its present quarters in the Post Office building to the Rogers Building, formerly the Bank of Nova Scotla. The Bank is not a Government de- partment and is not entitled to be housed in Government oiilces. The removal will facilitate the business of the Income Tax department, too long "crlblrrrd, cabined and confin- ed" in its present oflices. The Bank oi Canada has leased the ground floor of the Rogers Building which will provide them with ample oflice and strong room accomodation.

A circular letter has been sent by the Canadian Legion Dominion Command to all branches express- ing the hope that members of Par- liament, by mutual arrangement will be able to take steps to remedy the more outstanding difficulties of unemployment among ex-service men at the present session, and that proper provision may be made for the development of plans with a view to early action next session by a Parliamentary committee. The idea scams to be to keep the Legion out of politics. with this object the Dominion executive council of the Legion have held a number of conferences with the Cabinet and leaders of other parties in connec- tion with the report oi Ml’. Justice J. D. f-lyndmarrs Fommissi -n. Fol- lowing these, the council have is- sued the present circular setting forth

(A) That all parties realize the far-reaching importance oi the rec- ommendations made by the Hynd- man committee and the necessity for implementing its recommenda- tions as far as possible.

(B) That all parties were reluc- tant to open such wide "qucslons so laic in a pro-election session.

(C) That all pal-ties recognise the desirability of eliminating these questions from political con- troversy and o! following the usual practice of dealing with them by ru-llcmentary committee but at this late date it would be impqsible to secure effective consideration of such important problems by such a committee.

(D) That all parties am\willili8 to co-operatc in an endeavour to implement the report, insofar as it is possible, by mutual agreement and without making it a matter of eontronnv.

Notes By The Way

The prayer of the economic lll~ periaiists today is for a greater un- dcrBi-andins and p. " i applica- tion throughout the Empire o! the virtues and principles oi reciprocal trading. With Empire Free ‘Ikodc as the ideal to be aimed at, all in Trinidad as in other British com- munities thc world over should wol- come such a call as that emanating from the London meeting organis- ed by the Empire Chambers of Commerce. We should all determine to do everything-Trinidad Guard. an.

Nations must live and lot live. The horror excited in the minds of English-speaking people by the ex.

has not died down, and the friendliness oi the recent conversa- tions in Moscow may surprise many. But government is "bottling" in Russia; a. form of government has been acclqited by the Russians, and the other Powers have no right to dictate to them in the matter. The thevry oi Communism is not strict- ly adhered W: it has been found impracticable, and in the course of the evolution of a workable 5nd durable system it will disappear. It is uninformed theorists outside of Russia who imagine that Commun- ism has been a success in the Bov- iet Republic. The probability is that Russia. in sood time. will be fierce- ly fighting the Comlrlunists.—The Australasian.

The collision near Washington bBi-WEBH a school bus and a. train has dramatised for the moment the med of eliminating railroad cross. ings in these high-speed United States. The Federal Government's ofler of $200,000,000 of the $4,880,- 000.00!) relief funds to pay for con- struction work to minimise the grade-crossing danger has been PIOIHN-ed in part by increasing pub- lic concern over an annual grade- crosslng toll of 4,500 human lives. —Boston Christian science Monitor.-

The flnal disposal of Louis Rhl on the gallows ended a chapter in the Domlnion's history which held some dark pages. Veterans oi 1885, now few in numbers, are to gather at Toronto late in July to recall old days. Simil r celebrations have been held in th West at the loca- tions of the actual fighting. It. is creditable to the country to note that some oi the survivors of the rebellious forces also have gathered and have fratemized with the vet- erans oi the Dominion forces. a half-century .havirrg obiitprated memories as well as scars.

Hitler has decreed that native Germans who have emigrated to other lands must return to Ger- many for military service. It is be- lieved that not many Germans in Canada will heed the call. For one thing, they owe no allegiance to Hitler, no matter how fondly at- tached they may be to the father- land. Then there would be the question oi their readmission to Canada should they wish to return to this country after the term of military service. Most Germans in this country are peace-loving, law- abldlng, industrious and successful, and probably most of them when they left Germany were glad to be rid oi the regimentation which modern Germany imposes on its citiaens- and have not the slightest idea of submitting themselves to it agaln-Goderlch Signal.

It is something which, in a world gone mad over dictators and colored shirts and men graded like livestock, makes democracy and the old ideas of fmcdom take a warmer glow. We have had two years of talk about economic security being in- compatible with political liberty, about the need of reglmenting men and stifling their conszienccs in order to give them bread.

Once more we see Communist Russia embracing a bourgeois vir- tue while Nazi Germany, the sup- posed defender of middle-class sol- idity, continues an oblique attack upon age and. conservatism. in Russia the journal of the Icague of Young Communists exhorts its readers to “honor their fathers and their mothers" and declares that “rudeness, disrespect and ingratit- ude" to parents are not Communist virtues.

FIVE TYPES 0F IHGIAINI - ' 0N! SIDED HEADACHE

All over the world a determined attempt is being made to find the cause oi migraine-one sided head- ache with digestive, nervous and other disturbances. *

In an effort to study this dis- rssing ailment a large city hos- pital advertised for patients afflict- cd with it, and many hundreds ap- plied for this opportunity of learn- lng its cause and a possible cure. '

It has long been felt that over- work, worry, sluggish liver, sensiti- veneas to certain foods, inherited tendencies and other factors enter- ed into the cause of migraine. it is interesting therefore to read of the work of Dr. Paxnlez of ‘Paris who has clone a great amount of re- search work on migraine,

In the Medical Press he states that there are five general or com- mon types of migraine and the treatment varies according to the type.

i. Migraine of digestive origin. A diet that can be easily followed should be given. Tile only fat al- lowed is fresh butter.

2. Migraine due to slugglshness or other disturbance of the gall bladder and the liver. Here a diet in which all fatty foods are avoided is absolutely rlecessary—butter, cream, fat meats, egg yolks, oleo- margarine, bacon, cheese, pork, sal- mon, mackerel, icc cream, whole milk. These are all excelle it foods ‘and should be eaten by the rest of us, but not by one who‘ has the “1iver" type of migraine.

The treatment in this liver type is the use of small doses of Epsom salts before breakfast every morn- ing, followed by lying on the right side for three-quarters of an hour in order to "drain" the gall bladder.

3. Migraine due to “sensitive- ness” to foods. In these cases the food causing the symptoms should be looked for — meat, eggs, choc- olate, starchy or other foods. Pat- ient must find the food causing the trouble.

4. Migraine due to some gland disturbance in the body - the thy- roid. the generative and the pituit- ary in base of skull. In these cases the gland extracts-thyroid, ovarian, and pituitary are helpful.

5. Migraine due to blood pressure and to nervous disturbances in which certain restorative drugs are recommended by Dr. Pagniez.

While these five types are the de- finite types some cases would ap- pear to be of the "mixed" variety; that is they are due to more than one oi the above five causes.

To the many sufferers with‘ mig- raine the above outline of the caus- es and treatment of migraine should be of great help.

Reading The Parable

Rev. E. B. Lanceley read the Parable of the Prodigal son. Be- fore he l-egan the weather was hot and the church was stufly. Before he ended the day was perfect and the church was ersunny hillside by the Sea of Galilee. Here was a pro- nunciatlon careful, correct; with every vowel tree and every conson- ant featiy made.

Khan, swarth! iidncl who desertcd the tem- ples of the East for the 09mins life of the Occldent, is known. mainly to Americans as the owner of the Epsom Derby . but he ismorolllreaoh outof“'l'hc Arabian Nights" than an owner of race horas. The Dot-till 54°11'11" rncdan does not belong in the smart hotels of the Riviera or in his man- sion in Inndon. He becomes morl believable u you imagine him squatted upon silken cushions in schehe ‘ ‘s Bagdad.

m- the man who frequents P» race course -in checkered its 3nd gray toppers, who has made a princess of a circa-slacker and who gives orampagnc parties to hun- dreds during the season on. the Gold Coast, is regarded asga divinity by 75,000.000 followers 0f time Eastern branch of the Moham- medan Church.

His full title is His Highness the Ago. Khan, Sultan Sir ‘ ed ‘Shah, G. C. S. 1-, G. C. I. E.- o. o. v. o.,x. o. I. E- and Hon. LLD. (Cambridge). This god on earth of the Moslems, who is sun- posed to be a direct descendant of the prophet, Mlohamet, is 57 years old. He is the all-powerful head of the Mohammedan Church, Shiite branch, who are the followers of All.

l-fe is to million's upon millions, the living symbol oi all the mysti- clsrn and religious fervor of the an- cient East, but he doesn't give a hang for that. When Jlis jockey rode Bahram home in the Derby he slapped him on the back and said, "Well done. Thank you. Fred- dyy ~

He is also one of the most fabu- lously wealthy men who have ever lived, makingmost of our Ameri- can millionaires look like eligibles for the dole. He controls countless millions, not in stocks and paper profits, but in cash and gems and other items of wealth that can be seen and felt and counted and whose value does not fluctuate. In addition. he has an income of from $1l.000.000 to 815.000.0110 a year from his followers.

He is the only man on earth who is literally worth his weight in 201d -and the Age r Khan is a very heavy man. Once a year a phlal of his bath water is sent to the shrines of his followers to become a holy relic. And in return they send him gold to a weight that matches the weight of his body.

His followers heap presents of gold and Jade and ivory and silks and rare gems upon him. u is due a divinity that walks the earth .but such things mean far less to him than the two purses he was won in the Derby and those he has won
