TflE SHQBLDOWN tions and undertakings of all kinds.

The unanimous vote which the Hour-n of Commons gave on Monday in favor oi a second reading oi the Unemployment Insurance bill was a striking evidence oi the widespread popularity of the measure. Accord- ing to the Canadian Press, it was lie first time in memory that such a thing had happened on an im- portant Government bill. On some occasions the House has been un- animous on minor questions when recorded votes have been taken, but usually, in such cases, the vote la not recorded. In this instance the vote is particularly significant. as

- Mr. Macken‘ King and his fol- lowers pro‘ ’ to be opposed to Q measure on constitutional grounds. When the show-down came and a. vote was called, they failed to stand by their guns.

Answering arguments advanced against the constitutionality of the measure, the Prime Minister said it could not be enacted by the legis- lature oi any province and, as the power must reside somewhere, thn Federal Parliament was competent to enact it. It was a national mat- ter on which the people oi Canada as s. whole had to speak. through their elected representatives in Parliament. Where reform legisla- tion of this kind is admittedly needed, it is not constitutional tech- nicalities that the electors are in-

' forested in. but action. That is what the Bennett administration is giving!

There is this to be said for Mr.- Jean Francois Poulict. M.P.-he is at least consistent and has the cour- age oi his convictions. But where, oh, where were the other ninety and nine Liberal opposlonists?

Hitler has taken extreme meas- ures to enforce loyalty and to pre- vent betrayal. The difference be- tween Hitler and Hepburn is this- I-iitler decapitates when betrayal has been proved, Hepburn politically decapitates in anticipation.

THE U. K. MARKET

There has been a steady lncmase in Canadian efports to the United Kingdom market during the past

' year, and an increasingly friendly disposition towards Canadian goods prevails as a. result of the present policy oi encouraging mutual trade, writes Mr. Frederic I-ludd, Canadian Trade Commissioner in London, in the forthcoming issue of the Com- mercial intelligence Journal. A noteworthy example is the increased

‘7- - purchases by Canada of coal from South Wales which have resulted in

the employment of many who

' ‘ would otlwerwisc b: unemployed. This has naturally resulted in an increased measure of goodwill to- wards Canada which may be cap- italized in the greater sale oi Can- adian products. Much was accom- pllshed as a result of indications that the Canadian and United Kingdom authorities were prepared to co-operatc in solving the cus- toms problems of exporters in the

I respective countries. The possibilit- ies of the United Kingdom as a market for Canadian products are by no means exhausted. London and the more densely populated areas oi the United Kingdom are con- suming larger quantities oi Can- adian goods. particularly foodstuffs. and Canadian raw materials find their way into practically all im- portant industrial areas, while the eilorts to popularize Canadian goods by Government agencies and Can-

‘, adian firms and their United King-

; dom representatives are more in- ‘tensive than ever. The Canadian

exporter must, of course. continue to be willing to study the tastes of the mitish consumer, and be ready to adapt his product to meet chang-

‘ ing needs and standards. This im- poses upon Canadian exporters to

_; the United Kingdom a further obli-

gation to maintain quality and w

assure adequate distribution, par-

; ticuiarly in view oi the steadily

is‘ . growing demand ior products oi a

"Second Thoughts" was the rea- son given by someone closely as- sociated with the Prince of Wales for his unfinished sentence at the Stationers‘ and Newspaper Makers’ Company dinner. c Speaking of ranches that never paid, the Prince said:-"I .am always hoping that one oi these days-J’ and then went on to something else. It was sug- gested that the “Edward P" had never paid its way. but the man- ager sent out an indignant denial from Calgary, asserting that thc Ranch had been run at a profit even in the years of depression.

The greatness oi Premier Bennett as a world s" ‘ becomes mom marked with the passage oi time. It is not so very long ago since he went to London first and by his ability, resourcefulness. powers oi oratory and pleasing ersonality, compelled British and other Dom- inion statesmen to submit to his leadership. Today he is outstanding- ly the most brilliant oi our public men, and his speech on Saturday before the Canadian Society of New York, was carried almost in iull by leading American news- papers-an honor seldom conferred upon a foreign political speaker in the States.

In the old days, when surgery was not the finished sciewe it is today, it used to be said-“opera- tion successful, but patient died." In the case oi Mr. Norman C. Nor- man's appeal involving a Baltimore and Ohio railroad bond, which specified gold interest payments, the appellant lost, but the Govern- ment's economic surgery wins-as the decision is practically this that the legislation of l‘ ess auto- matically cancels thc gold clause in bonds. In other words, no private person has any prior protection from money manipulation and eur- reney depletion enacted by the Government.

Notes By 11.; Way

It was In these columns that the suggestion was originally maie that General Hertaog and General Smut: should either get on together or get out together. That suggestion was an accurate interpretation of the ardent desire oi the great maj- ority oi South Africens. They are getting on together-Jamously; so famously that the “Sunday Times," always ready to champion the cause of national unity, has found no occasion until» the present one to print a "political" leading arlicle ior many months. We anticipated the sound advice given by General Slnuts at Bloemfontein to “drop all this constitutional stuff and not bother about it any more," ior the simple reason that we‘ have realis- ed that the constitutional questions are finally and satisfactorily set- tled. “ esburg Times.

Whether one likes an English- man or not is strangely dependent on how far one has actually pene- trated into his psyche. One can like e. Frenchman, German, Italian or Spaniard (not to speak oi our own kind) after ten minutes con- versation with him (sometimes on the strength oi merely looking at him, with no sequence oi speech.) but if you an going to like an lhiglishman, you must get more or less deep into his inside. Usually the deeper you get, the better you will like him. but he does not wear his heart 0n his sleeve, and he takes a bit oi knowing.

It is not possible for any on": to be enthusiastic all the tirne—but it is possible for a man to appear so. The late President Harper oi Chicago University is said to have been one oi the most enthusiastic oi teachers. But when asked if he always felt that Way, he replied that he did not-that he had to create enthusiasm many times. The salesman who believes in the thing that'he sells, usually sells. Enthus- iasm is contagious. If there were m brass bands and attractive uniforms and fiery speeches during war talk and recruiting there would never be any wars. Great enthusiasm for the war itself must be created, aside from any merits attached to the case-Ex.

In the old fashioned religion con- version was preceded by repentance and repentence by a conviction oi sin. In some respec‘ this present age seems to have arrived at this preliminary stage oi conviction of sin. Many are willing again to call themselves “miserable ofienders," not so much because they have transgressed the ordinary decencies of life, but because we are all part oi a system that supports and but- tresses such awful thing's as unem- ployment, child motality, bad hous- ing, international strife and a score oi other evils. In one way or an- other we are so tangled in the system that we are all “miserable offenders."

Upon the allblcct of material mor- tality there is now a definite social conscience which would not be in existence but for the creative con- tributions oi iact made by well known public men. Mr. Baldwin has told the pathetic facts of his birth as seen in his invalid mother. Mr. Neville Chamberlain has related his story oi the price his mother paid in bringing him into the world. There are tens oi thousands of thousands oi such cases, which oc- cur at the rate oi about three thousand a year, but until recently the public CuIISCICIICG has not been aroused to the extent that it is to- day-Belfast Telegraph.

In relation to the drive to in- crease grcatly the number of Boy Scouts in Canada this testimony by Judge J. F. McKinley oi the Ottawa juvenile court is oi particular value: "I have no hesitation in saying that scouting is a wonderful force ior good, especially among under-priv- ilegnd boys. Many boys go wrong simply because they have no proper channels to give outlet to their physical and mental energies. As a result they make associations and form habits which ultimately lead to serious wrong-doing. In scouting such boys are afforded a splendid outlet for their energies. Thry are thrown into intimate contact with qualified leaders, and altogether their associations are oi the finest!"

FOOT Ii-ln.l.'...l.\ Cr.‘

With feet that are weak or pain- ful or both you are not only unable to do many of the common Jobs in life, but the distress causes a dark outlook on life itself.

Health writers including myself write about the feet often, and try to pass along the latest opinions and findings oi our orthopedic physic- ians and surgeons. But as Dr. Rex L. Diveley of Kansas City. Mo. points out, the amount oi foot dis-- orders due to foot imbalance is steadily mounting. and unfortun- ately physicians are allowing the management oi these cases to fall into the hands oi shoe salesmen and the manufacturers oi various forms oi arch supports.

There are two basic forms oi foot imbalance: (1) the so-calied flat foot with the bones in the ..1ner side of the foot right down instead oi being held up in the iorm oi the arch; and (2) the high arched ioot with the "ball" of the foot very prominent instead oi being in the form of an arch.

‘Yhc ordinary flat foot as you know has the toes turned outward from the middle line instead oi straight forward or even inward. The first symptom is a tired feeling and pain in the calf oi the leg. Later the pain occurs in the bones cf the foot which form the arch.

With the higher arch type with the prominent “bali" oi the foot, the big bone at the beginning of the big toe stands out and the big toe is turned outward from the middle line. There is often a "bunion" on this big bone. hummer toe (no movement in the Joint oi the toe it- self) and callous or hard spots on the bail of the ioot. The pain is usually in the bali oi the foot.

The treatment of ioot imbalance consists of the wearing oi proper shoes which should be:

(l) straight line on inner side in-

toes.‘ and should have plenty of room at the bull oi the shoe;

(2) the heel should extend a little farther forward on the inner side;

(3) there should be a built-in sup- port from the heel to the bend of the sole at the toes.

After the proper shoe is fitted,

supports made oi sponge rubber are shaped to the ioot and fitted into the shoe. I Finally, exercises such as gripping a marble with the toes, and walk- ing on the outer sides oi the feet should be taken to pull up the arch- es and hold them up. It may be a slow process for put- lent and Physician but the feet are as flevewiry as the head in making aliving.
