These provinces have heretofore been the chief contenders for lower tariff in Canada, but there is now a considerable change of front. and from unexpected quarters comes criticism of the King Government/s lack of upward tariff revision to meet the situation. G. I. Kurdybyk, pre- sident of the National Press, has commenced a series oi critical ar- ticles in his six separate foreign lan- guage newspapers which have a. large influence and circulation, particular- ly in the three Prairie Provinces. The articles point to the bread lines in Edmonton. in Winnipeg and in Saskatoon, and warn the readers to inform Europeans not to come to Canada because of the unemployment here. , These editorials outline the exist- ing employment situation in the West, where between May and Octo- ber, hundreds of thousands of labor- ers are required, but wherein No- vember an army is suddenly thrown but of employment, due to the fact that the tariff ls insufficient to en- able domestic industries m absorb even a portion of the number thrown out of work annually at, the close of the harvest season. The views, it will be observed, come from a section whore tariffs of any kind have to date been in ill re- pute and also come. from a source which is strong politically. The National Press publications must have close to 150,000 readers- and the political strength of these readers is the greater, as in the past they have voted virtually as a man. The change in the tune of the Na- tional Press publications indicate clearly a change of heart on the part of the readers. It may be that higher American tariff, affecting Canadian primary producers will help to coalesce tariff sentiment ln Canada and make pos- sible, if not iecessary, some upward revisions in Canada. next year. In any event, it is interesting to observe the free trade Manitoba Free Press stating: "It may be taken as well among the probabilities that there will be tariff changes at Washington which will be detrimental to Can- ada. That will create a situation of which Canada will have to take cognizance and upon which action, after careful consideration, will be ilecessary." The Free Press has not burned any bridges behind it but this statement is fairly significant. The West is at least in a receptive mood. EDITORIAL NOTES Now that President Hoover has been made a boy scout we may look for at least one good deed eddy. Decisive victories are now being neared in Mexico, ahnuunces an ex- change, by whichever aide gets to the telclrlph offlne first. ' I THE ‘ tlnn In Mexico, the third and the most serious of recent years, broke out on March B simul- taneously in ten of the thirty states of the Republic. 1t had been care- fully planned and organized, and its leaders were at the outset confident of success. Three-fourths o! the entire area of Mexico was embroiled in the revolution, while he most serious and threatening of he rebel sliCCSSBES occurred in the State of Senora, in the north-west and in Vera. Cruz in the southwest of the Republic. The strons fortress of Montercy, midway down the eastern coast was captured by the rebels, but was recaptured by the Government forces forty-eight hours later. The main portion of the Mexican army has remained loyal. Gen. Porfirlo Diaz became Presl- dent of Mexico in 1876 and he con- tinued to be the one great power in the Republic for more than a/oTiariler of e. century. He fell before a re- votullon led by Madero, who became President in 1910. Huerta ousted him by another revolution and he became President. but heln turn was displaced by a revolution which brought in Carranza. Carranza quart-clad with Gen. Obregon on whom he leaned for military support and the latter became the nominal ,head of Mexico. Huerta, an ally of jObregon, revolted, but he was ‘sub- dued ln 1924 and Calles became Pre- sldent by the first peaceable election in years. General Obregon was elected to succeed Calles. but he was assassin- ated before taking office. Then Fortes Gil was by agreement» made interim President to hold office un- til the coming general election in November. Err-President Calles holds office as Minister of War un- der Gil and is directing the military campaign. The disturbance in Mexico has be- come a. matter oi grave concern to many American and British invest- ors who have hundreds of millions of dollars at stake in that country. Pre- sident Hoover early announced that tthe exportation of arms or war ma- terial to the rebels from the United States cannot be permitted. Some things we manage better than do our neighbors across the border. For one thing we hold no "lame duck" sessions of our Federal Parliament. a "lame duck session" at Washington ls that ofa" Congress that has expired, held after a new one has been elected. This goes on regularly every four year: at Wash- lngton. Another matter is the re-appor- tioning of the representation among the Provinces after each decennial census according to population. The big Republic has a like provision in its constitution but falls to give it effect. The result is that California with a population of 4,400,000 has only the same number of votes in the Electoral College as Kentucky with only 2,500,000. Many like in- equalities of representation exist over there. And in Canada each Province leg- lslates for itself on the liquor ques- tion. Some of our prohiblton friends might prefer to have it other- wise. but the Canadian plan accords with the basic principle of British liberty-Government and legislation "according to the well understood wish of the people." "Come the four quarters of the World in arms and we shall shock them." The Government has order. ed new all-metal war-planes for our air forces, made in England, to be here in a few weeks. After this Canada won't take sass from any body. Let Hoover come on with his tariff if he dares and he'll soon see what will hflppen to him. An editor of a Texas newspaper remarks "What we dread to think of ls Einstein in another world try- ing to communicate with Sir Oliver Lodge." If they both understand Volapuk it might facilitate the con- versation. Late new: from Washington tells that President Hoover has become a Boy Scouts. That noble organization requires of its members that each shall place to his credit a good deed every day. For l starter it was a good deed for the President to join, and the publicity attaching helps to keep the President and the Scouts in the limelight.

The Prince - ANOTHER JOB THE BlLE DOES I talked so much about-the liver a few months ago that my readers must have thought 1 was “liver minded" as some one has put it. I pointed out that it was the big- gest organ in the bodyll- contained one-quarter of all the blood that was in the body; that lt separated the poisons out of the blood (was the washer-woman) of the blood; took sugar out of the blood and stored it as glycogen until the body had need of it; helped to make the- coloring matter of the blood; and also manu- factured bile. l tried to point out that a liver that was sluggish, didn't get squeezed-or shaken up by exercise, would have all its Jobs or uses interfered with. and so the individual who ate too much or took no excrete was likely to have a depressed, a “liverlshfl a. “yellow" feeling. And now just a word about the bile which is manufactured by the liver. As you know it breaks up the fats so they can be absorbed into the blood. ltalso kills off dangerous organ- isms, and it is also a natural pur- gative. This means that bile flowing into intestine takes care o! foods that might prove dangerous and also hur- ries these foods along the intestine and outside the body. And now we are hearing of an- other job that the bile does that ex- cites our admiration still further. As you know in the intestine any work left undone by the saliva in the mouth or the gastric juice in the stomach, is completed by the pan- creatic juice which is poured onto the food from the pancreatic gland as food leaves the stomach and enters the small intestine. It has been found that if the nerves are cut which go to the pan- creatic gland td make it pour out its iulcc, still some pancreatic juice will flow. Why? Because the bilc scts free a sub- stance from the walls of the intestine, which passing into the blood, acts as a chemical messenger _to the pan- creas, and it then pours out its Juice. The bilc ls Nature's messenger to the pancreas telling it that mori pan- creatlc juice is needed. You can readily understand there- fore why l do try to have everybody do a little bending exercise every day, and thus squeeze the liver and make the bile flow into intestine. Deep breathing will also send the lungs clown against the floor of chest or ceiling of abdomen and so squeeze the liver. ' when. you think of what the bile does for you, it would appear that much work or exercise to stimulate its flow is certainly worth the effort.

Iimerson tells us it takes two hun- dred years to understand a great man. Whether this term can be ap- plied to Oliver Goldsmith or not may be left to the critic or rather the psychologist. But we imagine the latter would flnd his head in a whirl trying to piecatogether the fugitive incidents of Goldsmith’: biography. How much more would any attempt to account for his whlntsicaPinl- pulses invite despair? Perchancé some day a suitable sketch of “Go1dy" may appear. The pearest biography thus far is that of Mr. James Prior. Yet what seems to be needed fomhe task is some incurable vagrant whrflcan loltcr and muse, and can shake him- self loose from all academl canons of neat propriety, free to dispute his way through the Goldsmith literature as Oliver himself is reported to have disputed his way through Europe, his sole item of luggage being a tuneful flute. What a life! what an Odyssey! Goldsmith only lived forty-five years. Half of that time he never really got anywhere. He might have been one of the "lost winds seeking for homefi The false starts he mad: in life; would easily furnish a comedy com-i panionable to his own “Good-nztur-l, edMan" could anybody write it or, find the heart to do so. Goldsmith; was Irish. Caesar somewhere says all the Celts are. volatile. The Roman warrior and philosopher might have happed upon a fine specimen of vag- rancy and volatile emotions, had he lived in the eighteenth century. Oll- ver Goldsmith never tried his hand at being a soldier. He tried almost every other profession on earth. His father, Charles. was a person. Uncle Contarlne-the oracle of the family. opined that Oliver would make a good doctor. The future poet had re- ceived ten years‘ good school- ing. _Prior to this family coun- cil he had appeared before a bishop as a. candidate for Holy 0rd- ers. Whether it was the fact that he appeared in red breaches before His Lordship, or his ignorance of Divin- ity, whlch led to his being refused will never be known. The Llssoy lad had been used to being laughed at for his ugliness and uncouth man- ner, however. He tried a. spell at tu- toring. It finished with a squabble over a game at cards. About this time Oliver bethought himself of going to America. He got no farther than COTR- He started for the Temple with fifty pounds to his credit. He got no farther than Roscommon. Again he set but for Edinburgh. This time he landed at the terminal. His term as a physician's assistant came to a close with a prescription which, lndited by his own hand and refused by the pa- tient, probably saved a life. Once more, with twenty guineas in his pocket. be set forth for lleyden, and left that town with one guinea in hi5 ope. He begged or D0118!“ hi8 WW through the Low Countries and Frdnce, having a. "trifling skill l?! music and a. pretty skill 1n dispu’: tlon." He was twenty-eight when h: landed back at Dover in i156. Th; ‘next eight years were spent in car?- . amongst the "Beggars in Axe-lane," and in part doing hack-work for such magazines as the Bee, the Blllybody- the Monthly Repository} the British Magazine and the Public Ledger. Ol- lver got one guinea per article, and his recreation between-times seems to have been tootllng the flute to keep the street gamlns quiet, and going downstairs from his garret to borrow a pot of coals. The first publication that gave Goldsmith any status was "An In- qury Into the Present State of Po- lite Learning in "Europe." Fbllowed the "Chinese Letters" and "Citizen of the World.” From Bath he brought back material for the "Life 0f Beau Nash." I-Iis success as an author dates from the year 1764 when he became a regular attendant at the club which met at the Turk's Head, Ger- rard street. London. At this select ga- thering were Burke, Garrick, Rey- nolds, Langton, Beauclerk, Sir John Hawkins and the great Dr. Johnson. Is there any need to remind ourselv- es that this vagrant wrote the “Vi- oar of Wakefield," and "The ‘Travel- ler," and "She Stoops to Conquer," and "Deserted VillageW-works pen- ned ln a charming diction drawn from the “well of English undeflled"? It ls only needful to note the mani- fold phrases that have become cur- rent coin from the poem about "Sweetiaubum, loveliest village of the plain," more phrases than from any other poem of its size in English literature. And again, let us remem- ber that albeit Goldsmith ln hls»"An- lmated Nature" could talk about monkeys baiting their tails to yank unwary crabs out of the water, we read anything Oliver has to say with unfailing delight and unbounded rei- lsh. We care not how much nor how little he knew. We care not very much whether he sauntered in rags or strutted in gold lace. All we know. and are glad to know, is that the va- gabondage of his erratic career is ll- lustrated by the beautiful strain and coherence of his writings. And Oliver Goldsmith dipped his pen in sun- shine, never in acid. He was a be- loved bohemian, though money did burn a. hole in his pockets. His me- mory stands forth to us all very much like "the decent church that topped the neighboring hill," and the smell of the fragrant hawthorn shade sweetly infects his lines. ill-Balanced Wealth The aggregate wealth of Canada, as at the end of 1026. Ls placed at over 2s billion dollars by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. The exact fig- ure is $26,701,482,000. This calcula- tion does not take into account un- veloped natural resources. but com- prises merely property values capable of assessment, bank deposits, capital investments, and the products of fields, forests, mines and other as- setscreaied or realized during the ycar. It is interesting to note how this national wealth ls distributed by Provincces. It is tabulated thus: P. E. I. . . . . . .............$145,745,000 Nova Scotia . 835,748,000 New Brunswick .. 723,502,000 Quebec 2,815 Quebec .

Total .... 028.701.402.000 This reflects a remarkable uneven- ness in the per caplta distribution of wealth as between the various Prov- lnoes. On the bI-sls of the population of the last decennial , the per caplin wealth of the people by Prov- inces ls as follows: British Columbia 2,105,210,000 n these estimates may be accepted as approximately correct.

Prince Edward lty ls so great as to suggest that op- portunities for material adv ncement differ widely in the various divisions of the Dominion. This conclusion in fact seems inevitable. when it ls rem- embered that the people of the Mar- itlmes, when: accumulatd wealth is at the lowest per caplta levels, are prov- erbially successful in the accumula- tion of this world's goods when they migrate to other Provinces. ‘Phe truth is that the Merltimes have never been fairly considered or adequately developed by Federal pol- icy, and this explains to a large ex- tent the lack of economic opportunity in these Provinces which ls so strik- ingly reflected in the figures quoted above. A case in point in the resist- ance Nova Scotia has so long encoun- tered at Ottawa to the appeals it has been asserting for years, and ls still vainly urging for the extension of the Central Canadian protective tariff 1e‘- vels to the coal and steel industries of this Province.
