The ‘Fisheries. Grant

-. enting on the vote in Parliament of $300,000 to “needy fishermen,” the Liberal or- ~ gan hiya: “We note that a section of the press ‘‘ has -interpreted that this grant for fishermen meanithat it is solely to help fishermen who _ ca.nn‘qt make their living from the industry and " to find other jobs for them. We have read over ,1 Mr, MIC!-IAUD’s remarks in Hartford very care-. fullyand cannot find that they are subject to such an interpretation." This statement is deliberately misleading,.in- .. asmuch as it is not “a section of the press" but I ‘-"’Mr. rum, Liberal M. P., for Halifax who if thu s interpreted the Fisheries Minister's statement that this grant was to be used “to help the provinces to discharge their obligation to- wards individuals who no longer find it profit- able to exercise their right to use the fisheries." ——(Han.rard, April 28). Mr. FINN understood this to mean “that this $300,000 is not for fisher- _mcn at all; that it is for those who cannot fish any more, Wlin cannot go out in their boats to set their nets." And he went on to complain of the lack of i_nforination available and to de- nounce the KING Government in round set terms for the paltry nature of the grant and the lack of a concrete policy to aid the fisheries. One thing significant in the Minister's sttemcnt was that amounts paid out of the grant ‘ilTa—be in equal proportion to amounts con- ’ uted b_v the ‘Provinces. In other \vords. it is be a fifty-fifty proposition. How much will e needy fishermen of this Province receive out f the federal grant? Not more than $8,000, for 5. us was the amount which the CAMPBELL Gov- ‘ 'nmerit asked the Legislature to appropriate for llS purpose. A total expenditure of $16,000 would certainly not go far in relieving conditions. In the meantime, we note that the Nova Scotia Government has put through an appropri- ation of $100,000 for the purpose of taking ad- vantage of this grant.

The Scrip In Alberta

-4,,-Q,-.

.,. w-16..

A newspaper correspondent has been inter- viewing Social Credit members of the ABERHART government on the proposed introduction of the scrip into circulation in Alberta. He was told it would be confined in the first place to roadwork .. under the Government Relief Scheme, and only 1 -- a third of the business of the retail trade would ' be afl'cctcd thereby, since all commodities import- cd from outside the province would be handled with ordinary bank money in all transactions.

The scrip would be good only within the ' province, it is emphasized. Under no condition could it be tciidcrcd for pa_\'mcnt of imported goods or iii inter—provincial business. But, say Government leaders, the fact that only one-third of business would he done in scrip—or possibly less than that fraction——would mean that ordin- _ary overhead of any one business could be ab- sUi‘iied.in whole or in part by this fraction, and thatiprofits of the business could be taken out of the other two-thirds of the business, which would , be transacted in ordinary bank money.

Example of the operation of this scrip system was given as follows:

The Government issues part of the wages

aid to highway workers in scrip—-for instance, : it might pay in scrip an amount equal to that now ' paid in relief. A scrip certificate for $50 is paid to a workman. If that man spends the scrip im- mediately, he gets face value for it. If he waits over a certain period of time, however, he must - afiix a two per cent. or $1 stamp to it. This stamp is bought from the Government.

Each week thereafter, no matter who holds the scrip at that time, a $1 Government stamp ,‘ must be affixed, and this goes on for a wholg v r.

Thus the Government has collected $52 in stamps-for that certificate, although it has still paid out no actual money for it. But when the last stamp is attached, the holder at that time can take the ,scrip to the Government's Treasury De- "paifincnt and there get in exchange for it the fllce Value Of the ccrtificate——5o—in ordinary ' bank money.

“We are supposed to pay out $4,000,000 in lellef allowances this year," one Government oficial said. “Now, supposing when we start a ‘work-and-wages programme on highways, we pay even $2,000,000 of that money out in scrip. At the end of the year, that amount has turned . over often enough to total business of $20,000,- ,‘ O00,‘n10re‘or less."

' The irony of fate impels the N. S. Govern- ment, elected on a. promise to get rid of the Mounties, to write to the Federal Minister of Defence expressing appreciation of the work of the force in connection with the Moose River Mine disaster. In other words, the ANGUS MAC- DONALD government came into power “to curse (all mountics) and remained to praise them.”

In their last year of office the BENNETT Govcrmnent spent $19,000,000 on unemployment relief; the MAcKErz1E KING Government, des- pite its economy pledge on the hustings, started out at the rate of $31,000,000. Now it budgets for $26,000,000, claiming a reduction. As a mat- tor of fact it is spending $7,000 more than its predecessors plus $3,000,000 for Labour Camps which it has transferred to the C. N. R. if 3K 9K The only excuse for dictatorship is success, says the New York Harald-Tribimc. If Presi- dent RoosEvELT, by eliminating Congress and ig- noring the Constitution, had increased t e num- ber of jobs in the country, reduced the numbers on relief, had spent the nation's savings wisely and well, and set the nation on its way rejoicing. his re-election would now be certtain. He would be sitting cheerfully on the top of America and his opponents would be forced to bide their time and watch as patiently as they could for the turn of the tide that awaits all dictatorships, successes and failures alike. *6 *6 it Who would have thought it? In this expen- sive electric province we hold the record for the paucity of our divorces yet cheap electric power will decrease divorces, Mayor FIORELLO H. LA- GUARDIA of New York declared in an address at Portland, Ore., where he and several other delegates to the Conference of Mayors inspected the Federally constructed $40,000,000 Bonne- ville power project. Mayor LAGUARDIA pointed out that with cheap power it will be possible to relieve the housewife of drudgery, thereby con- tributing to an ideal home life. But it is just as likely to create a body of absentee mothers. v as Demonstrating the advancement and prac- tical use of two-way radio communication by the use of ultra short-wave transmitting and receiv- ing sets for forestry patrol service in Northern Ontario. Mr. J. E. WATSON, superintendent of provincial radio, department of lands and forests set up portable equipment in two different loca- tions in the Elgin-Adelaide, Toronto exchange and actually demonstrated how communications between lookout towers will be conducted, The tower observer may call another tower at will without the necessity of maintaining schedules. Communication is carried out on a wave length of 7 metres, using a very low output power. Tests have indicated that adequate reliable cov- erage can be attained up to 45 miles irrespective of atmospheric conditions. K X if It was Sir WILFRID LAURIER who declared that “when Britain is at war Canada is at war," epitomizing the whole ethics of Commonwealth responsibility. This is how Professor STANLEY RYERSON of McGill University expresses the same’ idea under “For Canada to think that, being equally distant from the two great theatres of imminent war— Central Europe or the Mongolian-Soviet border —it was immune from either was a fatal illusion. War today is the result of imperialistic struggle for world markets, and Canada was situated be- tween the two largest commercial powers and rivals. Canada is tied up directly with British and American economy, and both those nations are clashing for premier position in world commerce. Besides, this country bear: all the earmarks of a minor imperialistic power itself and the prob- lcm of world markets is_ important to it." *6 !l( 3lE

Premier ABILRHART is still prophesying suc- cess for Social Credit. Addressing his Prophetic Mission Sunday, Mr. Ansiu-mar said I 56 pence treaties were signed in the last year. but the only result was that 10,000,000 men were armed to preserve peace. If newspaperrsaid Social Credit had failed before it was even started, what could he say about peace? We can and will succeed if you so desire," he said. “It is God's desire. All‘ we wish is to put this rich, fertile country into industry. There is organization work to be done. When Social Credit is introduced the people would have to be ready. He predicted there would be an increased demand for food, when Social Credit is introduced, and,"we will have to sup- ply it." “We must be ready to grow or be aide- tueked by outside industries,” Mr. Aauzimrrr said. He warned it Alberta bought too much out- side of the province on exchange problem would result. “The business of state requires organiza- tion, and it cannot be done "I a day," he added.

A month ago the British Gov- ernment announced that. measures to increase the supplies of food- stuffs in time of war were under review. Time passel. however. and nothing definite has yet been done.

Two steps ought to be :33. en forthwith if the nation is to es. cape starvation in the event of war.

The action taken by Mnuollnl is no suddenly planned move, but rather it deliberate step on a path long charted.

But others will ask where, in practice. Fascism finds evidence with which to-su-p- port this theory.

From time to time yo hear the old saying that the best. specialty In medicine is that of the skin spec- ialist. because “his patients never die and never get. be»t.e.r“—no worry and a. regular Income. Added to this to the fact that if he calls every skin ailment eczema he will be right in more than half his cases because eczema comprises at least. half of all the cases wlth skin B-llmenfs.

Lately there has been much ln newapa, and magazine advertise- ments regarding what is called ‘athlete's foot’. where the skin on and between the toes becomes red- dish white and little pimples or blisters are present. It has been shown to be contagious and. in golf, athletic and other organizations fresh straw slippers are provided so that the feel. may not come in con- tact. with the floors used by those already suffering with this ailment. other organizations provide a foot. tank containing an antiseptic through which members must. walk to and from the shower baths.

The usual treatment is to keep the feet clean. dry the feet thor- oughly after washing, and the use of various olntments containing mercury, salicylic acid and other substances. .

In some eases when there is pres- ent on the feet a. type of little pus- t.ules—ptmples containing pus—very similar to ringworm on the hands and feet, Drs. G. C. Andrews and G. F. Machacek in Archives of Der- matology, Chlcago, state that some of these eruptions persist despite treatment because of infection. The infections are located chiefly i_ri the tonsils but also in abscessed teeth. Conditions such as ulcer of the first or upper part of the mall intestine, chronic inflammation of the large intestine and rheumatism (arth- ritis) often occur.

Of a total of twenty-four patients, nlne have been entirely cured by the removal of the tonsils. Three others were greatly improved after removal of the tonsils but there were slight. traces of “scallness" or scales on the hands and feet which however caused no inconvenience.

One case of interest was where there was some doubt as to the ton- sils being the cause; but suction of the tonsils (pumping them out with 8 Special pump) showed that after each suction the skin condition im- proved; when suction was stopped the eruption became worse. Two weeks after the tonsils were remov- ed there was a complete cure which has lasted two years.

In this type of infection It is not UEUEHY the toes and in between the toes that are affected, n5 is the case with athletes’ foot or ringworm.

Emden At Montreal

(Exchange)

The visit of the Emden to Mont- real thls summer has been the cause of some discussion in Parliament. on behalf of the Government, it. was announced that the Emden had not been invited to come to the Canadian port but. that the Gov. ernment. away back in September. acquiesced in the suggesetlon of a visit when the proposal was made by the German Government. Mr. Bennett. or whoever it was that gave the approval. Scaroely could have done less.

Those who lived through the war years will not. forget. the first Em. den. During the first few months of the war, until the German cruiser went, down fighting on the cows before the heavier weight of the Australian cruiser Sydney's guns, she did much damage to\Brlt.lsh

‘ But her min-, Von Mueller. a salient. and,honorable fighter. played the game. The new Emden than curler a worthy name and the has been visiting ports on Ilonl the North American coast on a mission of friendship.

It is more than two decades uncg the flrlt Emden went down with flylnl colon. The war in over. German warships have long ago been welcomed at British ports and British royalty has entertained member: of the old German royal family. That chapter is finished.
