Restitution has been ordered pad promised, and further action is likely to be taken with regard to [our supervsors. The Government u: New Brunsw ck is to be com- mended for the action it has taken. Too often Governments are incln- 00d to be lenient in the treatment nfbfflclals guilty of such offences, although there ls no more serious “crime in public life. It will be re- sailed that the famous Chester- field in h‘s letters particularly em- phas’zed its heinous-races. Wrting to his godson he said, “If you Should eter flll a great station at Court tal-zc rare above all things to keep your hands clean and pure from the infamous vice of cor- ruption, a vice so infamous that it ‘degrades even the other vices that may accompany 1t.“ Again, “As avarice 1s the Ind dirtiest vce 1n private, ‘rotation ls so in public life." It is unfeccszary to point moral and adorn the tale. Sometimes public opinon is loathed to sleep or inaction through general corruption, but in time there is a. rude awakening. The Ivlbblin Government of Manitoba got It, when the Public Buildings Scan- dal of that Province disclosed that graft and corrupt/on were ram- pant, involving contractors and gov- brnment alike. In the course o.’ time we of the contractors was scn- tenced to two-and-onc-half years imprisonment, but released ‘after serving rune mouths on count of “advanced age. very bad health, large family, two of his sons o‘. the front, vivliingncss to make restitution, and imprisonment In connection with the offences con- tinually since October 1915."

Canadian broadcasting ls today operated for advertising purposes, and the power of the stations and the quality of the programmes is dependent upon the amount of revenue from adver- tising. There are today some seventy stations with a. total broadcasting power of about 33,000 watts. The ‘average time of national broadcasts in a. year ls one hour a day. 1.1 Toronto. 1n Montreal and a few other cities, there are a number of occasional programmes of merit. but most programmes of Canadian origin are concocted of direct advertising puffs and phonograph records, and Canadians are forced to turn for entertainment to the American stations that cover the whole Dom1n‘on. It has been estimated that only three out of five Canadian families can hear Canadian programmes. The normal assured daylght range of Canadan broadcasting stations is only 270,000 square miles, compar- cd with the American range in Canada o.‘ more than 700,- 000 square miles, whle the Canadian broadcastzng power 1s 33,000 watts as against 079.000 watts 1acssertacd by the American stations reaching Canada.

The Scandinavian countries,‘ Bel- gium, Hollond, the Argentine Re- public, are all likely candidates for membership of such a group- It ls the first importance that no ob- ligations be contracted at Ottawa which would make such an associ- ation of low-tariff States impos- sible. 1f for example, Demark or Belgium proposed to us better terms than some partcular Domin- ion it would be both inequitable and incxpedlent that we should be com- pelled to offer in response terfns less favourable than the Dominion in quzston could claim.

They believe that heredity 1s an important factor 1n that about ‘f0 per cent, 7 out of every 10, had overweight fathers and mothers. The most important mistake made by overweight persons is the ex- cessive amount of cent of the patients had been ex- cessivc starch (carbohydrate) eaters. Contrary to expectation, almost 60 per cent of the patients claimed to be of an excitable disposition. The report shows that there was a greater amount of gall stone cases among the overweight individuals than in those of normal weight. I believe this can be partly attributed to the fact that these individuals as they put on weight become less in- clined to move about or take exer- cisc with the result that the liver circulation becomes sluggish, and the bile in the gal! bladder is not emptied out as often as ls eeessary to prevent stone formation. The results of the treatment showed an average loss of weight of nearly two pounds per week by sim- ply reducing the food intake, partic- lllurly the starches. 'l'hey found that where the indi- viduals had been overweight for yea 1's. they were able to reduce their weight quite as well as some who had but recently acquired the extra weight. . ln no cases did they use the thy- Forccd by the log'c of circum- stances, the ldea of bringing busi- ness leaders of the Empire together tat 0:‘ preferably before the Ottawa iconfcrcnce has been put forward ‘simultaneously in widely different places.
