i iflalcony Should Be Used

One feature of the Royal Visit to Charlotte- town which is meeting with anything but popu- lar enthusiasm is the exclusive function in the Confederation Chamber, where the addresses of welcome are to be presented and His Majesty's reply received.

. It is, of course. very desirable that Their Maj- esties should visit the historic room in which the Confederation Fathers met; but there is no why the addresses and presenta- tions should be inndc there. The Provincial Building is provided with a spacious balcony, suited to just such an occasion, and the whole proceedings could then be witnessed by the public.

This, it is suggested. would be much more in keeping with Their Majcsties’ own wishes. for wherever they have gone they have shown a touching desire to respond to the popular inter- est and enthusiasm occasioned by their pres- ence. That, after all, is what they are coming here for.

It is not too late to make this change in the programme, as it would not interfere with the time schedule or any other function. 1f per- mission is required to be obtained from Ot- tawa, a telegram or phone call by the Premier should be sufficient.

' A somewhat similar situation arose in c011- nection with the plans for the civic reception at Halifax on June 13, which have been changed to accommodate the wishes of the public. The function at Halifax is to be held on the Grand Parade in front of the City Hall instead of in the Council Chamber as proposed.

In our case. the present programme affords no opportunity for the general public to see Their Majesties except while passing along the streets. They cannot see or hear what is going on in the cloistered seclusion of the Confederation Cham‘ ber, whereas from the balconv the scene could be witnessed by thousands, including the school children on Great George Street. If loud- speakers were installed they could not only see but hear what was taking place.

_ Canada's Reaction " there is considerable optimism in both Mont- real and Toronto regarding business for this Fall and the coming year. The Royal Visit is more responsible for this than anything else, tithing ‘people-Is minds off the bogey men of Europe. Writing in the Toronto Stock Ex- change Monthly, Mr. John E. Hammell says: wJfWe should recognize that the continent of Europe no longer will take the lead in the scheme of things to come. The immediate fu‘ furés lies with the British Empire and the Am- ericas. Let us sec that we are not cheated out of ourarftazingly rich heritage by threats and false appeals of totalitarian ideologies. A dictat0r’s power in his own country is only possible be.- causc a majority of his people have agreed to give up their God-given right to think for them- selves. Surely Canadians have not reached that ltage yet. If we insist 011 doing our own think- ing, the‘ dictators can have no power to impede the business of these western democracies. Let's forget the “bogcy-men" and get back to our own work “Look at ogr Canadian balance sheet. Half a continent of natural wealth, of which the sur- face is not» yet scratched. Eleven million people willing and anxious to hclp develop our re- ajources. A virile and aggressive people who will prove themselves worthy descendants of those pioneers who gave us our start. As tangible current assets our national inventory wealth is estimated at. ovcr twenty-six. billions of dollars with only eight billion dollars of national debt flea/liability to set against the former figure. That is a working capital ratio 0f three and one quarter to one. A sound business condition sure-

we Welfare Costs

plfne Canadian Welfare Council, Ottawa, has i1 ' hed a pamphlet, entitled Facing Up to , , Welfare Costs and Services, in which Dr. _ Cassidy, former director of social welfare ‘_.;British Columbia and at present professor

, social economics in the University of Cali- iérnjurdiscusscs the details of the huge bill has to be met annually by Canadian tax- llpyors, stressing the need for prevention and gldhabilitation, and Miss Charlotte Whitton, di- jccpr of the council, makes certain suggestions “controlling expenditures. Dr. Cassidy re- ,;-tllc impossibility of arriving at a correct es- qiof costs, under the pr inadequate of odmpillng social service ‘statistics; ppiintaldng research, he does not‘ claim a 1 fmlils statement than that it is thcbest junction" that can be got under the cir-

gory of those for whom this quarter of a billion dollars is an- nually appropriated, includes three under- privileged classes-the destitute, llle defective. and the delinquent. The number of public dri- pendants in 1937b put at 1,550,000, or nearly l4_ per cent. of the population of the entire D0- mlnion.

By far the greatest number of. dependents, over a million, or 9.13 per cent. of the popula- tion, come under merit relief recipients; old-age pensioners ac- count for pearly 175.000, or 1.57 per. ‘cent;

persons naming within the catc

Patients in mental hospitals number 39, ; adults in ’ benevolent institutions, 12,000; pa‘ tients in tuberculosis hospitals, 6,500; inmates of jails, penitentiaries, rcformatorics and industrial schools, 10,700. Of the total public welfare bill (1936), estimated at $260,000,000, 41.5 pct‘ cent_ was contributed by the Dominion. 37.4 per cent. by the provinces and 21.1 per cent. by the municipalities. This is exclusive of upwards of 48 1-2 million dollars for pensions and medi- cal care of war veterans. Unemployment relief absorbed 68 per cent. 0f public welfare ex- penditure. It is suggested that public dependency might be considerably reduced if the effort was concentrated not merely 0n “keeping people alive," by relief payments, but on preventive measures-public health, mental hygiene, child care-and protection, pres-delinquency, vocational guidcnce and placement and other constructive services. The need for an improved national system of social statistics is repeatedly cm- phasizcd.

Six days till Their Most Gracious Majesties come to visit us. i ‘i I Senator Meighen. declared in the Senate on the closing night—,-“I can tell the newspapers there will be an election this yéar." The month is supposed to be August or October. i 1i l

An Islander now settled in Saskatchewan writes: “It wouldn't be well for Mr. Dunning to show himself in Saskatchewan these days after his handling of the economic situation as Minister 0f Finance. Once he was the un- crowned King of this province, but now they would like to crown him.”

Canadian meat was exported to the value of $2,086,687 in April. The United Kingdom took the bulk at $1,930,211, of which bacon and hams accounted for $1,835,196. In March the meat exports totalled $3,385,071 and in April last year, $2,752,291_ April imports of meat totalled in value $153,679 in comparison with $236,045 in March and $80,522 in April, 1038. The United States accounted for a total of $68.- 412, Argentina $57,522 and Australia $19,531. In addition to the foregoing, sausage skins were imported to the value of $42,100, largely from New Zealand and Australia. 1

Probably the one who will most readily an accurately recall the previous visit of His Maj- esty here is Mrs. (CoL) Cecil Stewart whose father, His Honor Benjamin Rogers was then Governor and entertained the then Royal Middy at Government House. The Prince, as he then was, was shy and retiring, keeping in the back ground as much as possible, not allowing a fellow middy to substitute for him when one or more audacious ladies wished to shake hands with him. Now he lets the Queen share with him the enthusiasm of his loyal subjects. . i Q i l

At the suggestion of Senator Meighen, Gov- crnment Leader Dandurand has undertaken to re- introduce. cuts in Senatorial salaries for play- ing truant. It appears as the end of the Session approaches the majority of members pack up and depart, leaving often the most important part 0f the scssion's work tcf one 0r two members to discuss. This matter will be taken into consider- ation when Parliament meets next year. ‘.‘ have done the besf I could to request those 0f us on this side of the House to stay, t with meagre success," said Senator gest to cure this situation that we restore-the rule which affects the indemnity of members of this House if they are not weeks of the session." \

In searchlng for the cause of in- somnla. or sl eplessness, there are certain definite ailments such as a brain tumor and high blood pres- sure that should be considered.

In mental hospltlvs where there are both the depressed and the excitable types, the hot bath for some minutes is often used to 1n- duoe and prolong sleep.

It. would be safe to say that. there have been more new drugs to oduce sleep and relieve pain paced on the market in the last few years than nearly all other new drugs for other conditions combined.
