Insult To Injury

No longer is it safe to be within earshot of the Provincial Building when a Liberal caucus is in session. The most innocent passerby is likely to hear verbal explosions which would remlcr him guilty, according to our contempor- ary, of the offence of “cavesdropping." But surely this is adding insult to injury. Liberal politicians have no more right to create nocturn- al disturbances than other people. Their jarring discords should be discreetly muffled--not shouted through open windows to mar the peace and quietude of . a lovely summer evening. “Soft stillness and the night,” says SHAKE- SPEARE, “become the touches of sweet harmony." There was nothing of “sweet harmony" in Mon- day night‘s performance to warrant it being broadcast.

Music And Education

It is encouraging to note the emphasis placed by several speakers at the Women’s In- stitutes convention on the educational value of music. Good music, of course, is generally con. ceded to have educational value, but too many educationists are in the habit of commending it strictly in words. This was not the case with those who discussed music at this week's con- vention. Rev. Mr. MCCLEARY in particular showed that he had a practical idea in mind, nainely the ilcvelopnient in the‘three Counties of a iiinsical festival, to be held once a year with a final one in Charlottetown for the whole Prov- ince. Hcre is a suggestion \vell worth consider- ing by the \\'omen’s Institutes. If they will un- dertake to carry it through, it means that they will do it thoroughly and successfully. The old idea. that ecluralion should be confined to sub- jects of utilitarian value has fallen into dis- repute in recent years. Experience has discredit- ed it, anrl the tendency nowadays is to get back to the still older and sounder idea of education as :1 broadening-out process in which proficiency in the art of living, and not merely in the means of acquiring a livelihood, was the goal to be sought. Utilitarian subjects must of course al- ways form the basis of the school curricula; but this is no reason for disregarding other and higher values.

Manitoba Provincial election is fixed for Monday 27th inst, and there are 97 candidates for 53 seats. Liberal-Progressives have 42, Con- servatives 33, C. C. F. 13, Social Credit one, others eight.

A potato crop half of the normal yield has been forecast by Mr. J. T. CAss1N, president of the Ontario Potato Growers’ Association. There is a “serious possibility” of a shortage of early potatoes to ﬁll demands for the next two months. Mr. CASSIN blamed the late spring frosts and the current heat wave for the drop in crop yields. “Immediate rains would benefit some sections but others arepractically past any further de- velopment."

Great Britain plans to spend an extra 750,- ooo pounds ($3,750,000) for unemployment re- lief, now costing 38,000,000 pounds ($190,000,- 000) annually. This is disclosed by new regula- tions issued by Minister of Labor ERNEST BROWN. The regulations will be effective Novem- ber I6. They increase the beneﬁts for some 200,- 000 of the unemployed and provide gradual re- ductions for about 60,000 others. The new rules, which must be approved by parliament, will probably be discussed before the summer recess in late July.

Ca nadia n Fisheries Production

According to the Ritreaii of Statistics, the value of output of the Canadian ﬁsheries in 1935 was S3i.,;3;,8_;4_ compared with $34,022,323 in the preceding year, representing the value of the fish as iiiarl,-ctprl, whether sold for consumption

. fresh, or canned, cured or otherwise prepared. The 1o}; value is the highest recorded during the ﬁve-_vear period 1031 to 1935. The total value of the fisheries output in 1935 is divided between sea and inland as follows: sea ﬁsheries $2g,i75.4oo,- inlimfl ﬁslierics, $5,252,454. The former shows a decrease compared with the pre- ceding year. and the latter an increase.

Of chief importance is the salmon with a l1lill‘l(L‘i(‘(l value in 1935 of $12,540,307, or 36 per cent. of the value of output of the whole of the fisheries "Q1 that year. To the total value of the salmon output, British Columbia contributed per cent. The chief item in the salmon output is the canned product, which had a total value of $9.663.305»

The lobster fishery is second to the salmon ii: importance with a total production value of $4,378,742, and the cod ﬁshery is third with 3 value of $2,758,140. The lobster production

the cod value shows a decrease of $569,367. All of the lobster: and 98 per cent. of the cod come from ‘the Atlantic coast. Other important com- mercial ﬁshes are herring, whiteflsh, sardines. halibut and haddock.

The blind Democratic Senator from Okla- homa has lost renomination because he opposed his Chief's New Deal policy, and, moreover. would not play “pork barrel" politics. Referring to the matter, the New York Herald Tribimc says: "He opposed N. R. 1‘... he thought the Constitution existed to be observed; in private business he disliked towering salaries and bon- uses, and be conserved a classic Democratic in- terest in free trade. He entertained even more heretical opinions. He liked to say that ‘I've never voted a dollar out of the United States Treas- ury into anybody else's pocket‘; if, he suggested, ‘we must inflate the currency, why don't we lic- ense all the counterfeilers P’ and he opposed the New Deal gold and silver policies. Irle did not believe that we could ‘spend our way out of hard times,’ and when an angry group of constituents telegraphically demanded that he support the $4,0oo,o0o,o0o relief bill of 1935 he answered them with the observation that this merely slimy- ed ‘how the dole spoils the soul,’ ‘.\luch as I value votes,’ he added, ‘I am not in the market. I cannot consent to buy votes with the people's money.’ Under the circuinstances it is no wonder the machine turned him down.

A BAY OF‘ HOP! I03 THOSE WITH CANCER OF THE STOMACH

It would seem that a ray of hope for patients with cancer of the stomach (even of large size) has now appeared.

Dr. w. waiters. Mayo clinic. in Minnesota Medicine, says that the proper treatrnenit of cancer of the stomach, regardlee of its size. ll '0 have the patient undergo an “ex- ploratory incision", which means opening the abdomen and penult- tlng the surgeon to see the condi- tion of the stomach. ’rh.l.s is not done, nor is operation usually done. . if there are evidences of cancer in‘ other ports of the body.

Usually when the xny shows that the cancer is too largeor is in certain positions, no attempt. is made to operate as it would only hasten death. However Dr. Walters states that in 10 to 15 per cent of the cases in which the xrny seems to show umt it is too late to oper- ate, the removal of the ciuicer may still be accomplished by operation. It happens at times that large cancers will be found to be slow in growth, not severe in their effects, and cau.sl.ng no growths elsewhere. The removal of this type of cancer often gives a pemianent. cure, par- ticularly in elderly patients. "At the Mayo Clinic, the finding of on extensive cancer in the stomach. and even when there are extensions of the cancer tnthe adjoining lymph nodes, is viewed from the stand- point that, unless the cancer is re- moved, the patient is doomed to an early death. In several cases the total removal of the stomach has been performed auccessfillly at the clinic and patients have lived com- fortably for two and three years afterwards."

Naturally this means that oper- ation will now be performed in cas- es that were formerly thought to be past. the operation stage.

Another point is that it. is not. the age of the patient but his general condition that is 3 factor as to the wisdom or safety of the operation. A further important discovery was that many of the small growths or defects in the stomach, as reveal- ed by the Xray, some of which were thought to be "innocent." growths, not cancers, wererfound on oper- ation to be really cancer, and of course early removal meant the sav- ing of the life

Remember the advice of our can- cer organizations: "Cancer of the stomach in the early stage is the easiest. type to cure: in the late stage, the most. difficult."

“He is 3 good bu.slnessmnn" his friends say.

I British Empire Constitutions

(United Imipire)

Of the making or modification of coiistitutfotia the British znnpln seem; to have I virtual monopoly. Al. 3. time whenithe greatest and mast momentous of all is about to be inaugurated in India, the British Government is called upon to open - ;“at.fona with Egypt with I view to I new treaty that shall satisfy Egyptian constitutional aspirations whilst safeguarding British inter- ests on the canal and in the Sudan. Kenya is advancing afresh claims which will import special. interest to 312' Allan Plm's inquiry and re- port. and is constitution for Pales- tine is proposed which has sharply revived the political and racial con- tentions of Arab and Jew. The schema for 0 partly elected, partly nominated legislative council would give the Arabs a majority, and critics so diverse as Colonel Wedgewood. Mr. L. S. Amery. and Sir Archibald Sinclair all oppose it on the ground that it would run counter to the pledge to provide the Jews with a National Home. Mr. Montague Bell on the other hand says the projected Council offers the only practical meansof bringing Jews and Arabs together for pur- poses of understandlrig and co- operatlon in politics as they are now oo-operating in commerce and industry. How difficult it is to re- concile racial and other interests in constitutions with a democratic leaven designed for countries that have not enjoyed the franchise. is shown by the recent elections in Ceylon. The Donoughmore Consti- tution, with its adult franchise, non-communal representation and system of government by c:.'mmlt- tees, is held responsible for the dis- orders which attended the elections, and the success of candidates who appealed to religious and caste pre- judices. The Times’ Colombo cor- (mg, dent was especlally strong in his criticisms. which ‘brought is vig- orous reply from Dr. Drummorid shiel; who was a. member of the Donoughmom Commission. Ceylon, he says, could not be expected at one bound to reach the standards of is British electorate which lonz ago went. through present-day Ceylon experiences. "Modifications," he wrtbu, "may be necessary in the constitution, but nothing has hap- pened to justify any alteration of the fundamental principles upon which the Donoughmore Commis- sioners believed Ceylon should pro- ceed and upon which future can- stitutions should be based."
