Timely Suggestions

At the first provincial convention of the Canadian Legion, held here last week. resolutions were adopted calling attention disgraceful condition into which the historic Fort Edward. at the entrance to Vic- toria Park. has fallen; also the need of making provision for the proper care of the war monuments on Queen team-e. The Legion points out that‘ In gun platform at the Port should be renewed and the guns remounted, while the monuments should be cleaned. and kept clean, of the verdigris that has been allow- ed to accumulate on the bronze ‘fig- ures.

These suggestions. as well as och- m made at the veterans‘ annual meeting. are in the nature of con-

:tru .i'.'e criticism and should re- ceive prompt consideration by the authorities. Similar suggestions have been made from time to time in the press. but have been disregarded. The Legion, having placed itself on record in this matter, would be ren- dering a public service by following it up and insisting that the necess- ary renovation and repairs be made. Everyone is agreed as to the import- ance of keeping our monuments and historic sites in such a condition as to reflect credit upon the city and province; what has to be overcome ls simply the inertia of government- al bodies. which are proverbially llow tn be moved.

Dr. illaclntoshb Retirement

The retirement of Dr. Macintosh. medical superintendent at» Falcon- woocl Hospital, will be generally re- gretted by all who are acquainted with the excellent work accomplish- ed at that institution under his mar:- agement. Dr. Maclntosh succeeded Dr. Goodwill. a capable and exper- ienced official, on January l, 1923, and the manner in which he has dis- charged his responsibilities has been highly satisfactory. The news of his resignation is coupled with the an- nouncement that he purposes taking I. post graduate course in New York before resuming private practice in Halifax. While regretting his depart- ure. his many friends in this Pro- vince will wish him continued suc- cess in his career.

'I“he loss of the services of the late Mr. Abraham Bonnell, bursar at Palconwood for many years, has also been a serious one. Mr. Bonnelfs experience enabled -him to conduct economically the business affairs of the institution, and he was properly held in the highest esteem by both Liberal and Conservative administra-

lions. Dr. R. D. MacLauchlin, the new superintendent. will have the ad-

vantage of well established prece- dents and the sympathetic co-oper- ation of the medical profession as III as the Government in the dis- charge of his duties. That the man- agement of Falconwood Hospital will continue to reflect credit upon the officials and the Province gener- ally is the hope and expectation of all our citizens.

Playing a Lone Hand

The local Liberal organ‘; criticism ,1 m, $20,000,000 appropriation of Parliament for unemployment re- lief has fallen pretty flat in view of the statements made by its leader. m. Mackenzie Kinc- from his “It in Parliament. Mr. Kin! 6991"" that he took no objection to the bill as outlined by the Prime Minister. Parliament, he said, had been sum- moned to deal with u mplovment and was now dealing with it. To the manner in which the relief would be given, in the form of public works and of assistance to the Provinces and municipaiitiea who were unable to cope with the situation, Mr. Kinl

wished to make it clear “that the Liberal Opposition in accord with the principle of the bill, namely that of giving relief by this Govern- ment in a national situation."

Obviously the local Liberal organ l5 sadly out of tune with its party at Ottawa. If the $20,000,000 appro- priation is simply, as it says, “a Tory cure-all.“ “a type of compul- sory charity.‘ “a superficial ointment’ ZlS-“ll by “a quack doctor," it was the duty of Mr. King to protest vigorous- ly against its passing. The action of the Liberal leader in supporting the measure while his party press in this Province is busily engaged in knock- ing it, can only be explained on the ground that our contemporary has got completely out of touch with the political situation.

Premier Leo's idea of the obliga- tion of the Bennett Government is that it should assist him in building roads over which his dilapidated ad- ministration will be able to jog smoothly into office for another four years.

THE DWlNDLlNG GAELS

iThe Bulletin and Scots Pictorial.)

A speaker at the Celtic Congress in London pointed to the most ser- ious problem of the Highlands when he showed that the real cause of de- population in the north and west is not so much the “drift to the towns" as the mere refusal of those who still remain in the most thinly-ln- habited districts to continue the race. Highlanders are no longer raising large families, either to remain on the land or t.o leave it. They are simply refraining from marriage.

That is a fact to which neither Scotsman in general nor Highlanders in particular can afford to shut their eyes. There is quite clearly a limit be- low which the population of great areas of ‘Scotland cannot safely go. if only because, once emptied of settled inhabitants, the Highlands would be- come the inevitable lurking-ground of criminal and anti-social forces, and because when ‘the number of people in any countryside falls below the level needed to maintain the necessary minimum of social life, the complete emptying of that district is only a matter of time. I

Unless some means can be found to check the present process. and to in- duce the old stock to people its own land, it becomes plain that some dis- tricts at least which cannot be left permanently empty will, sooner or later, have to be recolonized from without by strangers who will know nothing of the country or its tradi- tions. And that is a prospect which Highlanders themselves can scarcely

A Revolution in Argentina I

‘i I (Montreal Gazette)

With the military leaders of the revolutioiiary movement maintain ‘n8 an ordered course of moderatior ii Argentina, after a swift and-son guinary struggle that has won them power and authority, the Republic shows all the indications of settling down to its habitual activities. with a. vast majority of the population i the several provinces gratified wit whathas taken place. In fact, Buen‘ Aires despatches declare that “a Argentina" welcomed the revolutio: by which President Hipoliio lrigoy- en and his Government were ousted from office, and gladly shared a-na- tion-wide holiday which was declar- ed for the purpose of swearing-in th" provisional Government yestevda; afternoon, under General Jose Evai" isto Uriburu. The uncoiistitution action which brought about '.l

excused by those who took part it-and is now upheld by the per, -as a public necessity, and the p: visional President promises that. soon as possible, there shall be a l‘ turn to constitutional Government i. the hands of civilians.‘

The Argentine revolution is anoth- er-exempliflcation of a singular po- litical standard that prevails in South America, and in accordance with which in the past the governed have not infrequently ousted Ull- popular governors under the menace of bullets, rather than wait to at- tain like political ends by the exer- cise oi their ballots. There was the revolt in Bolivia in June last. when President Hernando Siles was thrown l out of office and replaced by mill-l tary directorate as the de facto gov- ernment, pending a popular elec-E tion which, in November next, is in-l, tended to be preliminary to the elec- tion of a constitutional Government. More recently, Augusto .B.

Legula was! blamed, too, for having sacrificed his country's interests through an alleged subservicncy to the United States.

On the other hand, not a little of the unrest that has lately found ex- pression in Argentina is attributedl to a marked hostility of sehtimchti on the part of the deposed President‘ against Americans and the United‘ States Government. The Argentine; Republic is second in size and by‘ far the most prosperous of the re-‘ publics in South America. Its consti- j tution is based on that of the Unit-i ed States. but the Argentine Presl- dent is endowed with powers which: are practically independent of the! Legislature. and besides being ac-i cused of directing a policy which! showed an over-accentuated antag-l onism towards the trade policy of‘
