EASY MARKS LOBSTER IN DEMAND There has been a sharp advance in the requirements of the British market for Canadian lobsters in the first two months ‘of 1933, the amount being 1,247 owt., compared with 321 cwt., in the same two months of 1932. The value was £14,830 as against £4,084. Canada At the present rate of progress, the Legislature should be in a position for prorogzition by ilic cud of the k dominates this market.

Having reviewed wholesale and retail prices, rents, wages, costs, etc., it says that, while farmers‘ obligations have probably not lessened, the credit situation has been eased for many through a growing sense of a mutuality of interests between creditors and debtors. For instance ilic right of foreclosure of farm mortgages has been temporarily waved by some lending corporations. The farmers’ marketing problems. are sodn-volvcd that little can be laid about them in a short review. The ' Economic Annalist notes, however, that in many cases the cost of marketing services absorbs a high proportion of the price paid by the consumer.

EDITORIAL NOTES The increased exports of Can- adian agricultural products served in great way to supplant Germany, Denmark, France, New Zealand, British India, and Belgium, and es- tablish Canada in the fourth place among the nations of the world supplying the British market last year. In twelve months Canada jumped from the twelfth position to fourth on the list. We are glad to note that Mr. W. in capitol costs as wcll as labor is‘ the one that gels the business.

NOTES BY TIIE W“ In the course of a. recent Qeeeh Major General A. D. MaoRae quot- ed a. statement that only two ells- ses of men should be. in politioe— those who have so much money that they d0 not any more, and those who have none so that they cannot be made targets for their constituents. His own view is that‘ if they stay in politics long enough, " the rich men will be in the same‘ position as the others. As the or- ganizer who run the Conservative party campaign in the last general ‘ " , he ‘lmates that the coli- teet cost the country over M. .- 000 for the preparation of voters’ lists, the payment of returning of- ficers, eifc., and that the contest- ants spent another two million dollars for party purposes. In his view, and in the views of other sen- ators, such an outlay is far too big. One of his suggestions is that the duration of an e'ectioi1 cam- paign should be reduced to three weeks. Such new inventions as the radio for appealing to the elector- ate, and airplanes for carrying the ballot boxes far afield could be used to this end. ' , Headlines have been given to the‘ unemployment relief bill sent to Congress on Tuesday by Prefiidefli» Roosevelt. ‘There is nothing origin- al in this measure. for it resembles the plan carried out in Ontario and other parts of the Dominion for two or three years past. It a'ms to place 250,000 of the un- employed at work on natidnal and state lands, doing road work and flood prevention work. The bill follows closely the Canadian pat- tern in that the workers are to be paid not more than a dollar a day, in addition to the shelter. food, clothing and medical attention which they will‘ receive from the Government. _ It is unfortunate that llitler is ' kicking up such a tremendous fe- ver, swashbuckling across the stage at the very time when the world is crying out as never before for the nations to get together and bring down their armaments-at a time when as Mr. Arthur Henderson said, the war talk did not represent the feelings of the people. It may be that Hitler is “doing h‘s stuff” for political purposes, just as Mus- solini earlier was ever talking about the imperial eagles, the ancient splendors of Rome. and rattling his sword something after the style of Kaiser Wilhelm. . The Canadian Pacific and Cana- dian National managements are to be congratulated upon the de- cision announced to pool their pas- senger services between Montreal and Toronto. as s. first step in a broad scheme of pooling competi- tive passenger services wherever practcable. The travelling public are deprived of no necessary facili- ties under this arrangement, whereas the railways will be in a. position to handle the same amount of passenger traffic as now at a substantial reduction in oper- ating cost. Even the experts disagree as to the woi~k'rigs of monetary policies and they, as well as the general public, are learning many things as s, result of the bitter experiences that the world is undergoing and the attempts being made to disco- ver and apply remedial measures. A New York sky observer notes that the planets Mars and Jupiter are now seen high in the eastern sky in the evening. The brighter of the pa'r. Jupiter, is now about four hundred million miles from us. It has nine moons. four of which are visible with a smdil power tele- scope. The other one, Mars, reddish in appearance, is about sixty mil- lion miles away. It has two moons, vis'ble only with high-power tele- scopes. Both planets are now mov- ing from east to west among the stare, instead of their usual west- io-east motion, because the earth is passing them.

Hitherto the obstacle has been the disparity in rate of exchange with other British countries. ‘The stabilizing of the pound at $4.00 on a long list of fann products represents a genuine bonus to the farmers which falls into the same category as the bonus of five cents a bushel paid last year to Western wheat growers. This new step forward is in keeping with the increased import duties placed upon fruits. vegetables and nth-.a- agricultural commodities from for- eign countries which used to be dumped in this market below s... to the injury of the Canadian By lanes W. Boston. MD. THE TEN POINTS ABOUT ECZEMA You have likely heard of the ad-l vice the old doctor save his wn. "Be a skin specialist. my boy: your patients never die and they never get well." When you remember that more than half of all the skin diseases are made up of eczema in some form, you can understand the old doctor's advice because eczema usu- ally persists for a long time, im- proves at times. and then becomes worse again. i As you know eczema is not con- sidered a skin disease any more, but just a symptom or symptoms of a number of "wrong" conditions of the body. ' Dr. John H. Stokes. Phllfldelllhifl. presents a complete list of the ten ,mairi factors that make up the cause or causes of eczema. These are: l. The family or inherited ten- dency toward eczema. g 2. The dry skin factor. 1i. The oily skin factor.‘ 4. The pus formation factor; due to little pus forming organisms. 5. The fungus infection factor; due to yeast like organisms. 6. The factor of having. infection elsewhere in the body causing the eczema, as from teeth, tonsils, and particularly the large intestine. 7. What is called the metabolic factor; that is the rate at which the body processes work. In eczema. the processes work too slowly in digest- ing and absorbing certain foods such- as potatoes, bread. ‘Susan and other starches. s. The sensitive factor; this is where the body is sensitive to cer- tain foods or irritants. 9. The nervous factor. Excite- ment, worry and so forth upset the workings of the body processes, . 10. Diathesis. This is the ten- dency of the body in some P501316 t0 be more liable or likely to develop certain ailments; in this case what is called the ecrcma-asthma-Jia? fever complex. You can readily see from study- ing these ten conditions that from the background for eczema. that when a doctor undertakes the cure o! eczema, he has a real job on his hands, Yet, by just thinking of these, or of one single point-the nervousness, the overuse of starch, the sensitiveness to certain foods or any one of the tenr-he may 0W0"! a cure in a. very short time. Barnyard Technocracy (Winnipeg Tribune) Here is good news for those who are interested ‘in getting production costs down under what the stuff will fetch on‘ the market. The Henry Ford of the hennery has come to light. L. A. Hazard, a farmer living near North Evans, New York, claims to have found the secret of intensive egg production. He says he fre- quently gets two cggs a day from a hen and that he has reduced his egg production costs to about eight cents a dozen. His method is to confine each hen by itself in a small cage, about 16 inches deep by 12 inches wide. The hen is provided with ample food and water, but is never released. All the energy the fowl generates is devoted to egg-laylfli! lnsteld °t gadding about the barnyard and other social activities. It is tough on poor biddys mental life, but it prevents exposure to contagious dis- eases and fatal quarrels. As no exercise is permitted, the fowl never toughens its muscles. and even as an old hen still pro- vides tender meat for the pot when it no longer is profitable as a layer of eggs. ~* pean sky. The intense nationalism of Germany and Italy, the touchi- ness of France and the ambitions of Russia make up all ¢XPI°$V° mixture that could be set off very easily by any iii/tie detonation in the Balkan states. And such pre-' vccative detomations do not seem to be lacking. Moreover the fifteen year period that has elapsed since the Armistice is the longest period that the world has ever gone with- out a. major war. Swollen with hl- tred, embittered with prejudice and aflame with suspicion, the nations of Europe are thus faced with I spiritual apoplexy that seems to demand periodlcll blood-letting. The new budget of United States totals 8,400,000,000. The portion of that budget allotted to veterans‘ relief is $105,000,000. This means that 32 per cent of United states running expenses is swallowed up in the care of those who have been incapacitat ‘ by war.

Oca- eervative) The deliverance of a hard-time midget speech is never productive of pleasurable sensations either for the minister who makes it or for the public which bears it. iIt 8e11- erierally means fresh burdens for the tax payer, together with furth- er enforced economies. Yesterday's effort by the Ron. ll. N. Rhodes was no exception to the rule. Nor can it be I aid that the mnister of Finance tried to gloss over the picture. Re faced the facts. that dealt with them in a, plain, lucid style, easily followed by the man of the street. ’ In the presence of an economic stonrn which still sweeps the world, business is slack and revenues are still far below normal, though ab- normal expenditures have simul- taneously to be met. In large meas- ure, these uncontrollable excessive outlays are ‘ acealbla to years of ex- travagant administration which preceded the depression. l-lsd a policy of sane economy been pur- sued during thoee years. the world depression would not have placed such a heavy strain upon the pub- lic treasury and the taxpayers. (Toronto Globe, Liberal) ‘The second budget of Hon. E. N. Rhodes is admirably clear as to the needs of the Government and the reasons therefor, and empha- tically so as to the sources of rev- enue. The picture it paints is not worse than anticipated; the hope it offers for the immediate future is restrained. On the whole it is an analysis of the national situation, which can be studied with profit, although not wholly with pleasure. There can never be gratificatidn in circumstances which call for ad- ditional squeezing cf the people's pocket book for public services and a still more pronounced departure from traditional taxation methods. Trade is no longer the country's mainstay, and the wage-earner and income man have to dig deep- er. It cannot be assumed that the minister is making his new levies with any degree of satisfaction, but outside parliamentary hails there will be much argument that the taxpayers could have been spared some of the extra burden had the axe been applied more earnestly to expenditures. No Government can give any as- surance but the Minister of Finance is not a prophet of gloom. His re- view of world economic conditions and of Canada's commercial and financial situation invites hope rather than discouragement. The basis for a greater degree of optim- ism may rest, he says, on the fact that events are moving rapidly, "driven by the urge of nomic necessity.” Canada will go to the World Economic Conference prg. Dared to give it full support, trust- ing that exchange controls will be relaxed and restrictions on inter- national trade will be removed, “Slowly, but nevertheless surely," "19 blldset ‘ says, "the world is approaching full realization or the fact that the day of national self-sufficiency is past, that an in- ternational disease can be cured only by an international remedy." There is cause for gratification in this observation. There is mom for confidence in the announce- mvflt that the Government will not violate contracts involved in bold issues, seeking lower interest rates only on conversions or new flota- tions, following a general reduction in money charges. There is the swearing assurance that‘ the Ad- ministration is une“ ‘_. oppomg to inflation, and there is much convincing testimony to the sound. ness of banks and the nation's fin- ancial structure as a whole. (Montreal Star, Independent) There are to be found in Mr. Rhodes’ speech several indications that the Government realizes the urgent necessity for a thorough overhauling of the whole ' nciel fabric of the Dominion. A Royal Commission is to be lppolntefi g9 study the organisation and work- ing of our entire banking Ihd mop- “IW Byltflm, to consider the argu- mm“ 1°’ 5M Illllllt a central banking institution and to make recommendations for revising or Blllllllemehtlng our existing banking and moneta y legislation. That will afford the opportunity for putting into effect vital measures all dir- ected in the interests of economy and sound finance. Mr. Rhodes is not Pessimistic as to our future. Be mtbrishier walnuts ahead for our trade, particularly within the mipirs. He takes ‘a. flrm stand against inflation, and he looks for- ward hopefully to tho World loon- omic Conference as likely to point the way to the international rem- edy by which alone he believes the international disease which at pree- ent afflicts the world can be cured.

When Critics Notified (ivrontieai Gazette) What an entertaniing volume iosities of criticism? some of the lablest thinkers have made egregi- ,oue mistakes.

It was Macaulay who amused him- self by conning the book catalogues Just to find out how many authors of real genius had been placed in ithe back row whilst the crowd flocked to capture the vcrsification of Blackmore and the novels of Mrs. Behn.

Dryden. Congreve, Drayton, Mickie, and folk of that ilk, and pronounce them books that are "no books" and about as readable as director- ies and almanacks.

Sam Butler, of “Ere- hwon" fame, avowed he could not stomach "Elia" at any price. There has ever been this freakish varia- tlon of Judgment. Will it be believ- ed that W. H. Hudson hawked the manuscript of "Green Mimsions" the round of the publishers until he was sick of it and they of him? Or again, that Westeott flung the manuscript of "David Harum" up- on the cupboard top in despair, saying,’ he could "smell the thing every time he opened the doom"? It may be that good reading is as great a. task as good writing.
