DANGEROUS GROUND

We are authoritatively warned, somewhere in Scripture, to turn 1.0111 “heady, highmindcd" agitat- ors. When a retired County Court Judge and the editor of the Liberal organ combine to circulate propu- gandzt iuvoriiig the sacrifice of our independence as a Province, it is time-not to tum away merely from them, but to turn the floodlight on their conduct.

This appears to be what happen- ed recently.

Judge Stewart, who unfortunately happens to be Mayor of the City, was invited by n. member to lunch with and address the Rofarians. He did so, and to their amazement abused their hospitality by using the organization as a platform to urge the abandonment of our pro- vincial status. That it was a con- certed plot seems evident from the fact that the amazing speech was handed iii advance to tlic press and appeared in print in Halifax news- papers twelve hours before the Ro- tarians heard it. '

We have already dealt with the object which seemed to inspire tho Judge; we are left to surmise the object of the Liberal organ in fur- thering the propaganda. Can it be that the policy of the provincial Liberal party is "to sell the past" and hand us as a Province over to the tender mercies of Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick?

Judging by the welcome the Lib- eral organ gives to the New Bruns- wick unionist propaganda, we can come to n5 other conclusion than that the abandonment of our pro- vincial rights and privileges is now to be the policy urged and advocat- ed by our Liberal contemporary in an indirect way.

Neither Liberal nor Conservative rank and file will stand for such a policy. _We warn our contemporary and any one who may be tempted to follow in its train that Prince Edward Island will never willingly consent to a union such as outlin- ed, for good and sufficient reasons, and will not tolerate as leaders those who directly or indirectly en- deavor to further it:

1. We struggled long and success- fully for separation from Nova scotia. in clays long past, and it would be turning back the hands of the clock to return to our bondage.

3. Excepting agriculture, we have nothing 1h common" with Nova. Bcotis or New Brunswick-no forests or. minerals. ,

3. It would take away from Chor- Iottetown the Government, the Leg-

Vislature. the supreme court, the

Governor, the Civil Service; and the City would cease to be a capi- tal.

4. It would place all our local af- Iairs-roads, bridges, schools, care of the poor and insane-under a Government and Legislature sitting (In the mainland, involving Journeys thither to transact business of any local or provincial character.

6. In any Union Government or fiariiamcnt on a basis of population we could only have about one re- presentative in twelve in either of such bodies, and would be powerless. In a. Government oi twelve mem- bers, which would be large, we would have but one member, and in a House of 60 but live members, ._an intolerable condition.

6. Our taxation would he increas- ed to the average of Novu Scotin. and New Brunswick without. ony compensating advantages.

'1. There would be no saving in provincial administration, and any liwinl w the Dominion by the rc- moval of officials elsewhere would be to our lose.

8. About the only Dominion offic- ial that could be dispensed with would be the Lieutenant Governor in two of the three provinces-a saving of about $25,000, which would be more than offset by the interest on the cost of the new buildings in

be erected elsewhere.

9. On the basis of Nora. Scotiifs salaries \\'C would have to pay the Premier $7,000, his portiolio col- leagues $6,000 per aiuium, and the

Civil Service proportionately,

10. Under such a union Prince Edward Isiand would become but a. back porch or dog-kennel of the

It seems extraordinary that at a time of general dcccntralizlng of governments the world over the Uberal organ should feature such an issue which would prove so dis- zrstrousiy disadvantageous to us, the most prosperous and contented Pro- vince in the Dominion.

“TRY T0 GET’ Ir!"

The request of Canada's Soviet barter syndicate that the Canadian Government guarantee Soviet live up to any contract made was well advised, says the Toronto Globe, leading Liberal newspaper, in view of the following in a news item in the Liricolnshixe (Eng) Free Press:

There is no prospect of Uncvln firms obtaining the return of the

now would appear to be a better time to start and stay iirthe buei. nose than has earlier lpwlmd."

' One point noted by Dr. Irattimer is particularly worth reinemb in; at thh time. "So-called good times," he writes, "are usually more or less dependent on and attributable to boiwzving. Upon borrowed money there appears to be almost unbe- lievable expansion of imports pog- slble, So-caiied bad times appear to be necessary to enable nations to repay-in goods-their‘ Obliga- tions undertaken in more optimistic moments."

OUR IRISH TRADE

In the January-September period. i932, the imports into the Irish lfi-eo State from Canada showed an in- crease irom £503,136 to £599,862 over the nine month period of the prev- ious year, writes Mr. J. H. English. Canadian Trade Commissioner in Dublin, in the forthcoming issue oi’ the commercial Intelligence Journ- al. Exports declined from £23,326 t0 £18,682, leaving a balance in favor of Canada of £581,180 for the period. 0f the countries other than the United Kingdom‘, Canada was in i932 the fifth largest supplier of goods to the Irish Free State, be- ing exceeded by the United States Germany, the Argentine, and Aus tralin. As 1n former years, the prin- cipal imports from Canada were wheat and flour. while bacon, bar- ley arid newsprint were also import- ant items. The imports of wheat mm Canada, which during the past few years have declined consid- erably, for the first nine months of 1932 have shown a substantial in- crease, reaching the highest value (£155,050) since 1928.

LOW BLOOD PRESSURE A SYMPTOM OF TROUBLE

In these days when high blood pressure is spoken about so oft/en, I think it wise that more should be said about low blood pressure.

Naturally high blood pressure is discussed frequently because hi n. number of cases it means a harden- ing of the arteries and the possibil- ity of a stroke of paralysis. It may also mean e heart or kidney ail- ment of a serious nature.

And it is because there is more orless danger in these ailments of the blood vessels, heart, and kidney, high blood pressure is given serious attention and considerable care.

In the case of low blood pressure, as there is no immediate danger to life, nothing, as a rule, is said or done about it.

Now low blood pressure is a symptom of a. disturbance in the body just as is high blood pressure.

What is likely to be causing low blood pressure?

It may follow shock, any severe loss of blood, or influenza, or it may be due to thin blood-anaemia, to tuberculosis, and to some severe types of heart disease, and to long standing infections from bad teeth and tonsils. or constipation.

"Low blood pressure often occurs in women between 20 and 40, ac-

true vocation. For our people a. re- turn to tho land is a vital nec- essity. when the fact is realized

meantime, instead of giving direct relief, we would prefer the authori-

The first thought then where there is low blood pressure is not

simply to fecl pleased that your .

blood pressure is not high, but to remember that it is really a sign that something is wrong. and you must try to locate the cause.

This may mean visits to the fam- ily doctor and dentist to make sure that any infection present is re- moved, and that there are no daily habits that may be lowering the blood pressuoe—lack of sleep, insuf-

So much publicity is being given these clays to the various factors in export trade over which the afar- mer has no control that there is grave danger that he will neglect those factors over which he has

wheat, Flour imports during 1932 have been practically up to the ov- erage figure for the past few years. Imports of this commodity are now strictly controlled, so that during the next year, when it is expected the Irish mills will be functioning fully, very little will ‘be imported. The figures given in the Free State returns represent direct imports from Canada, or imports the origin of which was definitely known to be Canada. They, however, do not rep- prescnt the total imports from the Dominion, as o, substantial percen- tage of Canadian goods is imported into the Irish Free State by way of the Uhited Kingdom and figure in the returns as imports from that country. Such is the ease with ap- pics and many other commodities.

BANKERS’ vnrws

trucks and motor buses are a factor in the transportation world, with the railways hollering, perhaps with some justification-that they were facing unfair competition as the motor vehicles were being provided with a. free icadbcd by the taxpay- ers.

After the cause or causes have been removed or lessened in their effect, a general building up of the body is usually followed by a. rise in the blood pressure to a point more nearly normal.

Remember, low blood pressure is symptom of some trouble, and

that trouble should be located.
