MR. LEA TO THE RESCUE

lvlr. W. M. Lea remains silent-as to his reputed agreement with Mayor Stewart on what the Liberal Orson has dubbed the subject of 4311994191‘ Boone, but he has come outstrongly in favor of inflation 01' dun-ency- 0n nib point the pm- vinclal Liberal leader is directly at variance with the opinion held by his federal chieftaln, Mr. Macken- zie K318» is expressed in the House of Commons last April. Mr. Kine 0n this occasion said:

"You cannot deflate or inflate currency in such a way that it; will help only those , who have next to nothing and not help in some cases those also who may possess something. Each work; all around. Inflation like de- flation is a two-edged sword when it comes to dealing with financial matters."

Mr- King also said:

"It is a. well known circum. stance that t; is very difficult; w discover Just what exact amount of inflation ls going to serve the purpose that may be in view. Who is going to determine whe- ther there is enough inflation? Inflation has a way of gathgg- in; momentum m Itself, 1g g, @553’ t0 step on the accelerator but it u very hard to put on the brakes."

And 080.111: “Tb my mind inflation certainly is one of the lest cures that

“mild be helpful in the present situation." ‘

‘Ihat was Mr. Mackenzie King's Expressed opinion in April of this year. subsequently he made a com- plete volte face and voted for in- fiat/ed currency as pqfl,’ qr 1,1,; campaign of (Jpposltion to the 1m. pcrial Conference agreements.

But where was m. he; when his federal leader was denouncing inflation as "one of the last cures

that could be helpful in the p75- rent situation"? Is he, like Mr. King, a sudden convert, or did he secretly cherish all along the Oulnion which he now espouses? His present attitude, u; gay the least, is open to some suspicion that it has been dictated by polit- ical expediency.

NATIONAL BENEFIT

Canadian investors and Canad- ian corporations have absorbed the $80,000,000 loan offered by the Government. In so doing, they have benefltted themselves and have as- sisted their country,

Money markets throug‘ the world have been vividly reminded that Canada, a country really in the initial stages of development, has been able to meet m own fin- ancial requirements. The world

expressed faith in her destiny and future, and that Canadians believe their country has promise. Such advertising-if that it may be call- ed-ls the more effective in times such as these.

The IUpEICIISBIOIIB from our effort towards financial self-sufficiency will be manifold. The loan should improve the credit standing of the Dominion. This means that Can- ada should be able to borrow on better terms with substantial sav- ings to the taxpayer in annual in- terest charges. Such a demonstra- tion of national solvency will nat- urally tend to increase the flow of investment funds to Canada. bring- lng greater development and gen- erally easier lnterest rates, the first step on the road to reconstruction.

‘There is not an individual or an institution in the Dominion which will not benefit, directly or iridi- rectly, from the success of the loan.

DECREA SED DRINKING

Per caplta consumption of spirits inCanada, according to the Nation- al Revenue Review, was lower in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1932. than in any other year since Con- federation, fllnollnting w only 31 gallons or about ouc quarter of the average yearly per capitu. consump- tion in the last 65 years. These fig- ures, compilcd by the Statistical Branch of the Natxmal Revenue Department, Show a substantial dc- aease from the previous year's coli- sumption. which stood at .32 gallons. since Confederation, The lightest sumlltion of spirits has decreased over 80 per cent. Decreases were recorded also, in the last fiscal year, ln the per capta consumption of tobacco, beer and wines.

The year showing the lightest per cap ta. consumption of spirits pre- vious to last year was 1922-23 when consumption stood at .22 gallons, while the heaviest consumpton oc- curred ln 1873-74, amounting to 1.99 gallons per head. Revenue derived from duties on spirits in the fiscal year amounted to $2 per head and in the previous year $3 pcr head.

The amount of tobacco consumed

P" Person in the Dominion in the past sixty-five years stands at 2.74 per cent, the total being 3.72 pouucis as compared to 4.02 pounds in the previous year, which was the heav- iest per caplta tobacco consumpuon since Confederation. The lighest consumption occurred in 1879-80 amounting to 1.03 pounds per tread. ‘Iihe average consumption in the past sixty five years stands arm-t pounds. Revenue derived from clut- ies on tobacco in the past fiscal year amounted to $3.62 per head and in the previous year to $4.32 per head. Per capfta consumption of beer decreased 15 per cent in the past fiscal year to 5.00 gallons from 5.93 gallons for the previous year. The heaviest per capita beer consump- tion occurred in the fiscal year 1913-14 when lt reached 7.20 gal- lons, while the lightest consumption is shown in 1869-70, wtalling only 2.10 galleria per head. The average per eapita consumption of beer since Confederation stands be 4.1a gallons Revenue from duties on beer drop- ped from 40 cents per head 1n 193l- 32 to 38 cents per head in the last fiscal year. Canada's PM‘ caplta. wine con- sumption, which has never been heavy, dropped in the past fiscal year nearly 28 per cent to .08 gal- lons from .11 gallons in the pre- vloua year, with a corresponding decrease ln per cnpita revenue which dropped from 0 omits to 6 cents.

EDITORIAL NOTES

One of the brightest features of Canada's industrial situation is the Progress of its gold mining industry. The canacfan gold output for the first elsht months of m2 is sub- stantially higher than that for the Wrreflponding period of wit, and WW1 Pr°du0ti0n for the year will undoubtedly reach record figures. Production for every month of 1932 shows an increase over the corres- ponding month of 1931, and comp“- ed w'th the 1929 monthly totals the

overuse increase has been inmost so

Crngrcss may prove difficult in the lnuitcr oi war debts settlement by the demand of Boron that. a. plan for disarmament precede any scal- ing down of ivar debts, and by the suggestion of the Democratic Sen- ator Waish of Montana that, lf im- rncdiutr- action is desirable, a spec- ial stsson of Congress bc summon- ed at oucc. Certainly this Congress, which is on record as strongly op- posing any further extension of the moratorium, will not take its orders this t'mc from Hoover alone. All that is really asked by the British mid French Notes is an extension of the moratorium. A subsequent Conference at Washington is sug- gested; but bo“i Governments would be quite satisfied if assured that the American Government would take up the question of their debt payments with each of 319m 5e11- arately and privately.

The new French scheme for a

three point disarmament plan to day before the Disarmament Con- ference at Geneva presents some novel features, accorcfng to advance information regarding the princi- pal clauses. It is stated that these include a renunciation of the right of world nations to declare neutral- ity in case of war; the establish- ment of a. general stafl for all Eur- ope, ancl armies, to be placed at the disposal of any nation which is the victim of aggressive attack: and a general accord for a. reduction in armaments. The pound fa nil right, says the London Daily mpress. It is the soundest unit of currency in the world today. Behind it are the char- acter and resources of the British people. Nothing can destroy its value. But the foolish sayings of our public men and ti‘? irresponsible actions of isolated mobs can tem-- porarily depress it.

On all the main issues the econ- omists have long ago given their answers, and they can do no more than bring their facts and figures up to date. what remans to be decided is whether the politicians will act. If not, each in their own countries will have to deal with the falling revenue, gaping deficits, chronic unemployment, hunger mar- ches, rising dscontent, with conse- quences which n0 one can forsee, but which will assuredly not make for the peace of Ciovemmenta or the wealth of nations-J.

A group of women were discuss- lng the matter of reducing weight. when one who was very stout de- clared that she was through with dieting. "I have tried and tried to reduce my diet, and I believe that I have been quite faithful, yet. I have not lost any weightt. I have now decided to. try the thyroid ex- tractt, as I am persuaded that I am not the type that can reduce weight without it.’

“Why. do you know," she eaid,‘"I actually lie In bed until noon every day, and Just get up in time for lunch, so that 1 can do without breakfast, and thus lose that much weight. I'll admit I'm ready for lunch and eat a. hearty meal but I think I am entitled to it, as I've done without breakfast."

Now this woman has likely got as much sense as the rest “of us, but when it comes to Betting rid of weight, she is making one of the simplest yet biggest mistakes pos- slble.

Although“ a certain amount of food is needed by the body for its ordinary work-digestion, breathing, the beating of the heart and so- forth _ a considerable amount is needed to keep the muscles in good condition which is done when you simply walk around the house doing the little household duties. If 1n- stcad of lying in bed this woman were to get up, eat the ordinary light breakfast, and do the little household duties, all the food eaten at breakfast would be used up by the system before ll dclock in ad- dition to some of the food eaten the night before. By lying in bed in the morning the food eaten the day or the night before gets a good oppor- tunity to get deposited in the body as fat, instead of being used or burned up.

In addition to this, by getting up and around, the heart becomes stronger and does more effective work in circulating blood and re- moving wastes from the body.

The big point to remember ls that rest is the same as food to the body. That is the reason that those who are thin or poorly nourished, are advised not. only to get a long rest at night, but when possible to get a half hours rest at ll o'clock lnthe morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

So doing without a little food anti taking more rest therefore, means that rest takes the place of food, because no fat is burned or used, and thus no weight is lost.
