HARBOR IMPROVEMENT The question of harbour improve- ment for Charlottetown, which is to be discussed at a meeting called by the Charlottetown Board of l Trade for this afternoon, is one of long standing. The Duncan (km- mission of i926 ommended “an l _ ‘r-dmmediate survey" of the harbours ‘of Charlottetown, Georgetown and " ‘I Summerside, with a view to adequ- iwifte provision being made to meet ' the needs of the Island's produce fdrade. This recommend Lion was neglected in the years immediately = , p following, a fact which is doubly i - ‘ tregrettable, since Dominion reven- ' ' -ues at that time were at their peak owing to favorable world conditions, _, ~ 5 and since large and even extravag- § I ‘ "rant expenditures were being made ' "In other directions. _ __S'.nce the economic slump, a strenuous campaign has been put "Ch by the Chamber of Commerce and affiliated boards of trade for _d_rastic reduction in governmental expenditure. Now that there are signs of economic improvement and Dominion revenues are again on the upgrade, it may be possible to im- plement this long-standing recom- mendation with respect to harbour surveys and improvement. Already during the past year the Dominion Public Works Department has un- dertaken, and in many cases com- pleted, extensive projects in this Province, including costly repairs to the Marine Wharf at Charlottetown. Details of these activities were giv- en in The Guardian's year-end is- lue. If, during the coming season, harbour surveys and improvements can be undertaken, so much the better. But it is only fair to point out that the opportune time for this work to have been done was in the years immediately following thc . ---ppesentation of the Duncan Report, when for some reason or other no ‘rucceasful attempt was made to line up public opinion through such ..channels as are now being employ- ~ad for this purpose. PUBLIC olellvzolv Press opinion on Premier Ben- nett's proposals for economic re- form continues to be generally favorable. The Calgary Herald, for example, opllles that in summoning the people of Canada to consider progressive and, if ne y, dras- tic proposals “Mr. Bennett is pro- viding the vlrlle and courageous ' national leadership that the times "require. In l0 doing he presents a __ moi-rod contrast tc the Liberal lead- er whose policy at this time ap- pears to be one of complete and ‘Itagnating negation." ‘jfUnder thc heading, “Iaissez Bcire jnoomcd," the Hamilton Spectator ,..of.the influential Southam chain otretching across the Dominion declares that the Premier's bxoad- hcs been taken in very good . part by the country. It adds: ' LP-"Phough there have been isolated clrprecsions of protest and alarm. " "b “the whole, it appears to be gen- fer-ally agreed that conditions are ‘not what they should to and ought _ be. and that prevailing methods mm capable of considerable irn- movement. . . . “Laisscz-faire" has "had a long innings and has much answer for. Premier Bennett, I amid tho applause of the conscien- g tious of all classes, is ringing its ' death-knell. In doing so he applies Christian ethics to business prin- jciples." ‘Filo 5t. Catharines Standard thinks that there are "mighty few, and those only very privileged pea- pie, in Canada who wish things left as they are or as they have been." l The Standard feels that the First _ Minister is inspired by a desire to > ._ ' lent: his fellow countrymen by cn- ; c v- unciating what the London Times 7r calls the "equilitarian" doctrine, which prescribes a better distribu- tion of the good things of life among the many. The Standard holds thc view that the Liberals‘ dand-pct attitude will get the 0P- ppcition nowhere.

The obligation of the Church to its young people begins with their fathers and mothers. It may be time for moro definite and courag- eous leadersbip from the pulpit on the relationships of parent and child. Bringing up a family today is no part-time job. It cannot be done inirregular spasms of parental energy or by formulae laid down by previous generations. It cannot be left to maids or school-teachers. The ideals or principles we hope to see full-flowered in the adult must be ‘ planted, day by day, with end- less love, in the child. The Chris- tian parent, not the Sunday-school teacher or the Young People's lead- er, is the natural link between youth and the Church. If the foundation is neglected it is diillcult later to make up for it. The Church, working through the parents, might well try the lighthouse method in- stead of the lifeboat. and give more attention w preventive measures to hold her sons and daughters.

OPERATION The results of operation for the severe form of goitre (Grave's dis- ease or exopthalmic goitre) when the heart is rapid, therc is tremor throughout thc body, bulging of the eyes, indigestion and ‘ learners, is now so skillfully performed that there is not the fear of operation that existed just a few years ago. In fact surgeons have from the great number of these oases that exist, just which ones are likely to withstand tho operation. Thus Dr. L. Seed, Chicago, in Western Journal of Obstetrics, Sur- gery and Gynecology, says, "An ex- opthalmic goitre can be considered a safe risk for operation: if the pat- ient has undergone treatment with iodine for a auflicicnt length of time; if the weight loss is not ex- cessive; if there is no recent weight loss, and particularly lf there has been a gain of a few pounds; if thc strength is sufficient for the pat- ient to step on a chair: if thc basal metabolism rate (the rate at which the body processes are working) is not more than 75 per cent above normal; if the patient has no swelling of hands, feet, or abdomen and can walk a block without being short of breath; if he is able to be out of bed 8 or 4 hours daily; if he is eating well and sleeping well; jif the disease has not been ‘present for many years; if the patient is neither very old or very young: 1! there are no other complicating dis- eases." The above description of what is uui idered a safe risk for operation for exopthalmic goitre can be readily understood by the patient. It will help him to realize that he is or is not ready for operation. If ready it will give him the necessary assurance or courage to undergo operation. If he is not ready it will tend to make him more patient and willing to rest and take other treatment considered necess y while he is waiting to get into fit condition for operation. Sometimes the treatment con- sists of taking iodine one week in each month. In other cases the X ray treatment has been of great help; in fact, when used over a pro- longed period. many cases have been cured, and therc has been no need for operation.

By Stroke Of Clock (Exchange) Of all thc mechanical inventions man has ever made the clock stands 8o one of the most remarkable and is the most imperious in appor- tioning out our work within the cycle of our days. The origin of clock-making is "involved in ob- ‘scurlty, although it is said that some machine of this sort was in use as early as the ninth century, and that the first clock which ap- peared in Europe was the gift of the Persian King Abdulla to Charle- magne, the device being described as “a horologe of “brass, wonder- fully constructed, twelve little “brazen balls dropping down upon bells set "undemeath so as to sound forth the hours “of the day." Also the‘ Arohdea of Verona, "Pcciflcus" by name, is credited with having invented a timepiece in ths ninth century, and that in 812 one of these horologes was sent from Venice to Constantinople. However this may be, it is certain that clock; were in vogue in the twelfth century and that in 1232 the Emperor Frederick II roceivcd a horologium from the sultan of Egypt. It resembled a celestial globe, impelled by weights and wheels, so showing how thc planets moved and pointing out the hour, day and night, with certainty. In i288 there was put up in the Tower of Westminster a clock equipped with bells, thc cost o'f this enterprise being defrayed out of a fine imposed upon a chief jucticc who had been found guilty of cor- rupt practices. These bells are said to have been sold or gambled away by King Henry VIII. Four years afterwards a clock was set up in Canterbury Cathedral, at a cost of £30, and another in i328 at St. Al- bans, "such as therc was not its equal in all Europe."

It was on the initiative ofulohn A. MacDonald in 18b4, that the Baldwin reformers of Ontario and leading French- Ccnadianl joined with him in the formation of the Liberal-Conserva- tive party. His statement "on that occasion was that provious political allegiances should not pre- vent men oi’ like mind from joining forces h promotion of the national welfare. ‘rhis original fusion of m8 Rcformers with MUCGOLBJG’! fol- lowers has at several critical peri- ods in thc oountryb history, been followed by further great accessions of Liberals to the Conservative or rather the Liberal - Conservative cause. In 1855 a reconstructionof the Cabinet brought in Sir George Etienne Cartier. leader oi’ the French - Canadian Ministerialists. who, lmtil his death, co-operated loyally and effectively in the for- warding of the nations highest in- terests. This patriotic unlon of French-speaking with En 01-h- speaking Canadians, under the Lib- eral-Conservative flag, has been productive of vitally important de- velopments. Under the premiership of Sir John A. Macdonald and with the cs- sistance of such men as Cartier, Gait, Tapper and Brown, the pro- ject of Confederation was carried through to triumphant achieve- ment; the weakling colonies of On- traio, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia united to form the Do- minion of Canada: and in succeed- ing years, Prince Edward Island, British Columbia. Manitoba and the Great North-West entered the growing commonwealth. Under Sir Jolm A. Macdonald the Hudson's Bay Company's rights over thc vast North-West Territories were ex- tinguished and a veritable empire made available to Canadians. Nearly 60 years ago the Liberal-Conserva- tivc party inaugurated the National Policy of Protection to Canadian industries-a policy which no gov- ernment in all that time ha". cared to abandojh-apoiicy which pro- motes the manufacture of Canada's raw materials here at home for the benefit of our own people, as against the use of these rliw materials for the upbuilding of com- peting industries in other countries -a policy, undo;- whlch the,__.wllola country has ‘enjoyed an amazing development, The Liberal-Conservative party was responsible for the construction of the Canadian Pacific - 1‘...i1way, for it was a Liberal-Conservative Government which extended 11mm- cial aid to that pioneer corporation in the day of its need.
