THEY ALL WANT IT.

t Washington the stage is all set I,‘ 1 a new tnriﬂ bill, with the people y ‘the United States practically a _ , t in respect of it. They want ei- 1 - higher tariffs or are content to wig higher tariffs. It has ceased to a party question. Representative er, Democratic leader in the - .1 of Representatives, is as ar-

‘ 1- asanyRepublicanin demanding v ‘n eases and the Democratic party l’ practically as strong for them as 1| c Republican party, Mark Sulli- , one of the best informed of

' h; erican political writers, says that

c coming tariff revision “is unpre-

ented in one respect; that is, the

l . of any formidable body of pub-

,‘ opinion demanding revision down-

d; the lack of any leader mak-

i g himself the spokesman of low, or

deratc tariff." Judging by the ap-

arances before the Congressional

s and means committee, which

¢ been holding hearings on tariff

oposals, the consumers of the

.' untry. no less than the manufac-

‘ irers and the farmers, believe that

"otection makes for ]ll‘0S])i3l‘lly and

A RADIO EXTENSION-

‘l ii ~ A suggestion comes from British ‘Jolumbia that the debates in the Wovlncial Parliament be put "on the wit" and broadcast for radio for the reneﬂt of all the people who have the means, and the will, to listen in. -j'.1ike other innovations, the idea has ts advocates and its opponents. Vlwhother 1t is feasible in British co- ‘ - umbia we do not know. It is argued hat since there are at least as many lgood reasons why it should be done {as not, it might at any rate be worth ‘ h trial; and the more we ponder over , ‘this the more reasons we see for try- ing it out in our own province, at least for a session. = Of course, as the Vancouver Prov- ince points out, there will b: a tre- mendous lot of objection.

There are even more cogent rea- sons for adopting the scheme in Prince Edward Island. Had the de- bate on the amendments to the Pro- hibition Act, for instance, been "on the air" during the last legislative session, what a revelation it would have been to our people throughout the country, and what a new com- plexicn it would have given to the whole temperance situation! N0 news- paper report could have done Justice to that debate. The extraordinary na- ture of the original draft amendments. their grammatical and legal absurd- ities, their self contradictions, their rough-shod overriding of British law 11nd practice, and the. amazing argu- ments advanced in their defence, would have made a diverting pro- grarrmie not only for Island radio fans but for those in our sister prov- inces from coast to coast. The Pre- mier's budget speech "on the air," interspersed as it no doubt would be by static, electric whoops and cat- calls, would have made a much more exhilirating performance than the somewhat depressing exhibition wit- nessed by the actual spectators at the last parliamentary session. Apart from this, the dellverances of the back benchers would reach the con- stituencies in their original grom- matical purity, unpruned by the edi- torial shears and with their spicy flavor undiluted. For leglslatlvcyor- atory, like ﬁsh, is more palatable in its fresh state. Much of it, indeed. is intended only for immediate con- sumption; and for the distribution cf such perishable products the radio should serve the same purpose as the quick-freezing process recently de- vised for indeﬁnitely preserving the salt-sea flavor of our Atlantic had- clock.

On second thought, however, we doubt if the experiment would justify the expenditure necessarily involved. Unless the Government could work in some outside advertising between the speeches, and thus make the per- formance self-sustaining, it is hardly likely that the taxpayers would be willing to foot the bill when so much professional vaudeville is competing on the air, and can be tapped at any moment.

EDITORIAL NOTE

The Speech from the Throne, says nn exchange, is not a. programme-it is a yawn. Where are the old cries about the cost of living? aboutfocean freight rates, about Senate reform? Where all the old ardent pledges of a once crusading Liberalism? Gone

pledges of the Saunders Government!

Every season has its own peculiar- ities. The present mild winter is ob- jected to on account of the increased cost of horse-shoeing. The luck of snow is also said to be bud for the land. And the poor coal merchants are up against the dull market. The injurious insects arc having a safe and quiet sleep, instead of being kill- ed by the frost. Even so. there are compensations!

Though the statements attributed to Mr. Appleton in an alleged inter- view lnvthe Patriot have been com- pletely discredited, the Liberal organ persists in its blustering bravado. The publicrion of the Appleton-McLean correspondence, which- would place its readers in possession of the facts and substantiate the Guardian's statements, is of course hardly to be expected; but in view offts present humiliating position a frank confes- sion on the Patriot's part would loom to be the only way out. We shall watch its struggle to achieve this moral victory with interest. and ma

Notes BLTYIe Way

Women are stlll ﬁghting for their rights. Having gained the right to vote in all the Canadian Provinces except Quebec and being in the ma- jority in all the provinces east of the Great Lakes, they succeeded in elect- ing Just one of their number to sit am 244 masculine ‘ =1 of the House of Commons in the Canadian Parliament. If this seems rather surprising, it is equally so that they have now before the courts an appli- cation to decide whether a woman is a person within tho meaning of the British North America Act. The object of this movement-it comes from Alberta-is that women may be able to break into the Red Chamber at Ottawa by being appointed to the

- Senate.

If one asks what they will do when they get there, it may be hard to tell what the answer will be. But they are aware that the Senate now init- iates all bills for severance of the marriage tie in the provinces of On- tarlo and Quebec, which have no di- vorce courts. This really is a matter in which a host of married women have some personal concern, whether or not they are "persons" under the Canadian constitution. Long before women were given the voting franchise it was proverbial that women exercised a. very large con- trol in the affairs of all civilized countries. Has that control and in- fluence for good been increased or diminished by opening to them the gates of the polling booth ‘and the legislature? High-minded and intel- lectual women are asking themselves this question. It was before the domain of poll- tics was opened to the feminine half of the world that under our British system Queen Victoria held her long and beneﬁcial reign over an Empire wider, more populous and powerful than any the world had before seen. And as Tennyson has sung, "a thou- sand claims to reverence closed in her as Mother, Wife and Queen." Women in politics thus far have not enlarged their influence or con- trol for good to any appreciable ex- tent ln the home or ln the state. In the social circle the woman politician as such exercises a. disruptive influ- ence ln many cases, without compen- sating beneﬂt to offset her lost in- fluencein the home, wherein lies her greatest seat» of influence for good.

A woman may again be Queen Em- press of the great British Common- wealth of Nations, but it will be long years in the future before a woman can hope to be president of the Un- ited States or of the French or Ger- man republics.

Saint John will be much gratiﬁed to have the Saint John and Quebec Railway taken off the shoulders of the province and absorbed into the Canadian National, as is now prom- ised to be done. This line was built at great cost and with low grades like the Transcontinentalpbut was never extended. as was first project-

FOOD CAUSES ECZEMA. One of the mean skin ailments of which I have written before is ec- zema. You may remember that it. usual- ly begins with a redness, then little raised points, which become watery and later excrete a sort of light pus; this is followed by scales, scabs, and sometimes by fissues or open cuts in the skin. There is nearly al- ways itching which is one of the ways it is diagnosed. Just what causes eczema is‘ still unknown, but that there is a. hered- itary tendency. and that the manner in which the body handles or fails

handle certain foods is a factor, is now agreed.

The foods to avoid are said to be, pork, preserved meats, veal, goose, liver, fresh bread, hot bread, hot cakes, fried foods, acid fruits, pota- toes, butter, cream, sugar, milk, candy, very hot or very cold drinks’.

Safe foods are meat and vegetable soups, fresh fish, boiled or poached eggs, any cereal breakfast foods ex- cept oatmeal, stale bread, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, beans and peas, figs, prunes, oranges. stewed fruits, water, with limited amounts of tea, coffee, milk, cocoa, buttermilk.

However Dr. B. Usher, Montreal, has been comparing the blood sugar in normal individuals with those having eczema. In those with ec- zema. there was a large percent; who showed more delay in asslmilating the starch or sugar than in those free from eczema. _

From his experiments Dr. Usher feels that in itself dextrose or sugar formed by starchy food does not cause eczema.

However it has been shown recent- ly by investigators that human sweat or perspiration makes an excellent culture medium or food for organ- isms. Now these organisms are pre- sent on the skin all the time and seem to be harmless, but it is be- licved that in persons whose cells or tissues do not handle or take care of starchy foods properly, that these, organisms seem to become more active and irritate the skin.

And it has been shown that these organisms vary in number and ac- tivity with the amount of sugar in the sweat.

The only thought here is that food is still the big factor in causing ec- zema ‘and the afflicted individual must work out his own salvation by avoiding the articles of food which aggravate the condition in his own particular case.

ed to connect with that _, as it will be hereafter. It was operated at heavy loss to New Brunswick. Behind the existing complex lies the old riv-

lax as competing terminals. Nova Scotlan influence dominated the sit- uation and Saint John was side- tracked, so far as the all-Canadian freight route from the upper prov- lnces to the sea was concerned.

Loans aggregating $38,000,000 to various harbor commissions will be made this year according to Ottawa reports. Such loans to harbor com- missions had been made from year to year by the Dominion Govern- ment before any harbor in the Mari- time Provinces had been placed in commission. Those old loans were in most cases treated as gifts by those who received the money, neither the principal nor interest thereon being paid. But the loans were rated as valid assets in the Finance Depart- ment at Ottawa. It would be inter- esting to learn whether the new loans to harbor commissions, mostly going to ports in Quebec, Ontario or British Columbia, will be treated in the some fashion that has so long prevailed.

Old Age Pensions are of especial interest to the people of Prince Ed- ward Island because we have here a larger proportion of persons of pen- sionable age than there are in any other pr “ . The Pensions Act pro- vision under which the Dominion and the Provinces are each called upon to contribute one-half of the sum to be distributed is most unfair to us. A vast amount of oney is involved in the pension sch c and whether our

er provinces are doing, or to stay out it will be heavily penalised. In the one can we nun be contributing to what the Dominion pays and get no pensions. In the other case we shall coma under the pension system on tcrmathatcanonlybomctbyncw taxation. The legislation must soon meet and apparently our Provincial Government has not yet decided whit

A Afghanistan: The Kingdom Of Tumult

\

Roughly embraced by the tremen- dous ridges which ctxlminatc in the summits of IIindu-Kush, in altitude second only to Mount Everest, Af- ghanistan, the very name of which means a "realm of tumult,’ ‘is today in the throes of an upheaval. To use a phrase of Kipling's history is writing yet another plain tale from the hills, writes P. W. Wilson in the New York Times.

The country is so poor that its en- tire public revenue for all purposes, civil and military, is said not to ex- ceed $5,000,000. It contains not one foot of railway and is inhabited by a simple people. It is only less remote than Tibet. Yet once more a. whis- per along the Khyber Pass echoes throughout. the world.

If Afghanistan has an importance far beyond herself. it is because she is a factor in the great game which determines the destiny of mid-Asia. Afghanistan is the strategic thres- hold of India. The Afghans may be only 8,000,000 in number but their country three times the size of Great Britain, contains 245,000 square miles. Over Afghanistan it ls possible to travel 700 miles in a straight line. It is a region that dominates India's communications overland with Eur- ope.

In the sixth century B. 0., the cen- tury when Confuciuc taught wisdom to China and Buddha renounced the pleasures of a palace at Kapilavastu, we see Darius the Persian setting forth from his capital, Susa, in the Euphrates Valley-the Shushan of Scripture-and forcing his way through Afghanistan to the enriched but enervated realms beyond. From still more distant Macedonia, Alex- ander the Great led his, army of Greeks-an incredible featlthrough Afghanistan to the banks of the In- dus.

Proud Traditions

Here are traditions of which every Afghan is proudly, if dimly, subcon- scious. He claims that, though Ish- mael, he is a son of Abraham. Oth- era assign tohim a more illustrious descent from the patriarch, seeing in the Afghans a settlement of Jews who were carried into captivity. Oth- ers again do not doubt that in Af- ghan blood there is a. Greek element, derived from the conquerors under Alexander.

During the Christian era. the in- cursions into India through Afghan- istan were terrible» indeed. In the tenth century, Mahmound of Ghazni raided the northern territories of the great peninsula no fewer than seven- teen times, gathering captives and booty, and everywhere smashing the idols of Hinduism-the four-armed Kali, Hanuman the Monkey, and Ga- nesh, half elephant and half man. These were the kind of forays which, until a comparatively recent date, left the Punjab impoverished; and it was Mahmounds descendants, who, being Afghans, actually installed them- selves as Emperors at Delhi. What wonder if the Afghans of today, see- ing India still Indian, and Indian In- dia still divided, dreams that, per- haps, the time may come again when the virility of the North may over- come the lassitude of the South. Who knows?

Seven hundred years ago there arose a new menace to I-lindu zcul- ture. From tho North, the M11013 swept through Afghanistan and dis- possessed the Afghans themselves. It 1-! 110i 68-55‘ to decide whether, as a plunderer, the palm of supremacy should be awarded to Genghis Khan or to Tamerlane.

outer world merely by slender 11MB of telegraph, rccmtly cut, and wire- less, recently interrupted. But the air in Kabul is laden with diploma- tic intrigue, and the rumors of the bazaar have been weapons in a war- fare none the less terminated because. as a rule, it has been bloodless. What Great Britain wants is, in one word, quiescence. Her policy l8 JGSSOd in a notice at the head of the Khyber Pass: "It is Absolutely Forbidden to Gross the Border Into Afghan Territory." Afghanistan l! a buffer State, separating Britain from R.\l.‘lSlS—lll8l'. is the idea. The maintenance of the territorial integ- rity is thus, according to British I10- tions, conducive to peace. Indeed. the logic ls obvious. Suppose it 00 be true that, in a race to Kabul from the south, Britain, with her railway and two military roads up the Khy- ber, would beat the Russians. Not less is it true that, in a race to l-lerat from.t.he north, Russia, with her railway from Merv to Kilshka, could beat the British. In Persia there are or used to be British and Rus- sian spheres of influence, diplomati- cally delimited. Who is to delimit a diplomatic partition of Afghanist- an? Danger To India

In a famous phrase Lord Rosebery once described the Himalayas as “a cactus hedge," protecting India. Sometimes, it must be confessed, the spines of the cactus have torn India’s more tender skin, but the dangerof a disturbed Afghanistan is more seri- ous even than this. It means that the cactus hedge has caugh fire and that India may be singed by the con- flagration. .

On the one hand, the trlbesmen, raiding Kabul, are not less ready‘ to raid Northern India. Indeed, thou- sands of them live in supreme indif- ference to frontiers other than the mountains themselves. On the other hand, it is a risky business to inter- vene in Afghanistan affairs. Ac- cording to the proverb, it is easier to march to Kabul than to march back B88111; and in 184i, a British force, with women and children, numbering 15.000 persons, was ann- hilated by snipers in the Winter snow that. lay on one of those awful de. files. Today a withdrawal of Euro- peans from Kabul can be effected by airplane, but even in aviation Lhere are special risks. The airman carries in his hat a. promlseof $3,000 reward to any highlander who, find- 1H8 him- helps him to return to his base alive.

The difficulty to-day is that the is. olation of Afghanistan has come to an end. She is conscious that she is a. link in a chain of more or less in- dependent and powerful Asiatic sov- "elknties. To the east there is Ja- pan. there are china and the shy theocracy of Tibet. To the west we see Persia, seeking efficiency under the dictatorship of Riga Khan; also Irﬂq. where King Fuad [£18115 Wm, the support of the British; Turkey, governed by Mustapha Kemal, and Esypt, under King Fund, Afghan_ istan belongs, lf not to an 01-11-111; °°“'°d°"5°l’- at 108st to an Oriental renaissance.
