 Hapyiy- Canada .' '.4 Fatal Admission _
' No country in the world is bet-
ter off than Canada today-thank!
to ltlie wise statesmanshlp of Pre-
mier Bennett. He was elected to
oiiioo just in time to savc the utter
collapse of the country due to the
phiianderins. haves'-S0-l“°kY P°1i°Y
pursued by Mr, MacKenzie King.
The Liberal statesman, lacking in
vision and initiative. was steadily
allowing the country to drift into
the abyss of irretrievable debt, de-
pression, and disaster- Had Mr.
King still been in onice most of our
industries would have collapsed, the
,West would have been in revolu-
tion and Canada worse off than
Germany. Nothing could have saved
Canada from such a fate had the
King pro-American do-nothing-for-
ourselves policy not been complete-
ly reversed by the return to power
of Mr. Bennett. The Bennett pol-
icy saved the West by finding
markets in France and elsewhere
for millions of bushels-indeed more
wheat has been sold this year than
last though the price has not been
commensurate; and the unemploy-
ment grant to all the provinces pre-
_vented anyone going hungry in this
,vast dominion. Today more people
are in rcmunerative employment
than in the month of May. Ben-
nett's policy has fed the hungry,
has found markets for our wheat,
has re-opened old factories and
started new industries. Not only so,
the Bennett policy has given such
confidence to our people that they
have paid off out of their own
pockets all outstanding leans to the
extent of Over $6,000,000 with the
result that today, Canada. is the
only country in the world that owes
no public debt to outsiders. ls that
not a happy position to be in-
thanks to Mr. Bennett ?
'L` The New Car Ferry
,f The arrival of-the new car ferry
steamer "Charlottetown" at Borden
on Thursday morning, marking the
beginning of a new era in the trans-
portation history of the Province,
was an event of outstanding rin-
portance- The steamer is the last
word in efficiency and convenience,
and uill go into operation betiveen
Borden and Tormentine lil the
course of n. few days. When one re-
calls the greatly increased develop-
ment in trade and tra.:ispoi'tation
which fr,l!owed the estabiisliment of
the S, S. Prince Edward lslai,d en
the preuzii route, the importance
of Tliiir:'3r:y's function will be scsi.
in sonie',lii`i:g like its proper per-~
vpcctlvc. It will serve g':ea:'y to cn-
Cwrasc the export an-1 teuri-.t
trade to the Province, and it will
ll-ak' us more closely and :'n'ln.a*.e-
iy with the mainland of Cpmda
than we have ever be :ri oefl-.e.
. The new car ferry steamer is the
result of a long struggle on the
part of public spirited citizens to
SCCifre implementation of the terms
Df the Confederation Pact with re-
Svcct to continuous transportation
to_nnd from the Province. At times
lhis struggle seemed unavaillng;
always there were difficulties, dc-
Iays, setbacks, which depressed the
most optimistic. Even after the
necessity of the new steamer' serv-
ice had been recognized and initial
steps had been taken for its design,
'there was further uncertain-
ty -as to whether the require.

,will of course be its actual per-
lformance under heavy ice comp-
tions in the Straits. From the
highly favorable opinion of experts,
il1o\vr~'.'er, it is snfc to assume that
it will give improved service in ev-
ery way, and will be an acquistion
of incalcuiulile benefit to the Prov-
incezln the years to come. ‘
,_
The admission of the Len Gov-
emment candidates that they have
neither platform norlpolicy to pre-
sent to the electors, that they have
nothing but a sorry record of
broken Pledges and promises on
which to base their appeal for rc-
election. is in significant contrast
to the full and convincing outline
of policy given by the Hon. J. D.
Stewart in his masterly key-note
speech in Charlottetown on Tues-
day night. The particular emphasis
placed by Mr. Stewart upon the
necessity for securing a final set-
tlement of our subsidy claims from
the Dominion Govemment, is char-
acteristic of the man who, as
Premier, was instrumental in ob-
taining for this Province an in-
creased annual subsidy of $165,000,
at a. time when Dominion affairs
were ln control of an adverse gov-
ernment
A.; Mr. Stewart convincingly
showed, further revenue must be
secured for the Province, and this
revenue must either come from in-
creased federal subsidy or from
the pockets of the taxpayers. His
faith in the mei-its of our subsidy
claims and in the ability of his par-
ty, if elected, to secure a. final set-
tlement, is shown by his specific
promise that there will be no in-
crease ln taxation.
The Liberal candidates, with no
constructive policy or platform, are
asking that they be elected on their
"record." Yet when this record is
discussed, they invariably introduce
the subject of Dominion politics
and endeavor to divert the electors'
attention to matters .entirely -ir-
relevant to the merits or demerits
of the Lea Government. A
In some instances, however, the
statement is actually made that the
Govemment has implemented its
election pledges. Buch was the con-
tention advanced by Premier Lea
at the Liberal meeting at Hunter
River, when, according to the Lib-
eral organ, "the hall fairly rocked
with applause."
It was indeed a wonder. as Mr.
J. D. Stewart remarked, that the
hall did not fall about their ears!
Old Age Pensions
The Liberal organ endeavors to
charge the Conservative candidates
with repudiating Premier Bennett’s
promise respecting Old Age Pen-
sions. There has been no such re-
pudiation, ss 'is evidenced in the
following statement made at Mur-
ray River on June 13 by I-Ion. J. D.
Stewart, Conservative leader, in
pledging his party to introduce the
pension scheme in this Province:
"We have always believed in Old
Age Pensions. You have no doubt
seen the pronouncement made by
those in power at Ottawa since the
Budget was delivered, that just as
soon as this financial crisis is over,
just as soon as conditions be-
come normal, the plank adopted by
the Conservative party at Winni-
peg when Mr. Bennett was chosen
as its leader-the promise to as-
sume 100 per cent of the cost of
old age pensions as a federal xc-
sporisibility-will be carried out. In
the meantime the Federal Govern-
ment, desirous of going as far on
the road as possible towards im-
plementing that pledge under pres-
ent economic conditions, has in-
creased the federal payment of old
age pensions. to 75 percent. of the
total cost in order to enable all the
Provinces to take advantage of the
scheme. ’ ° °
"We feel that Premier Bennett,
in accord with Conservative prac-
tice, has gone as far as he could
possibly do at the present time, in
implementing his platform wiht re-
gard to Old Age Pensions, and it
is up to us now to see that the
aged people of this Province receive
the benefits of this legislation-
bcneiits which they have not been
able to receive under the Act as
adopted by the late Liberal admin-
istratlon at Ottawa despite the ls-
suroncoe of the members and sup-

Capitol theatre on Tuesday night

several hundreds in the Capitol

art, little uneasiness will be oc-
casioned by the jealously-inspired
comments of the` Liberal organ
which were evidently intended only
for the least intelligent of its
readers.
Officially substantial figures from
Ottawa show that some 13,000 more
persons were at work in Canada on
June ls; than on May 1. Payroll
lists of 7,865 firms afforded the
following employment- figures:
June 1, 940,879 employees; May 1,
927,437 employees. This increase in
employment may make little ap-
parent difference to the -situation.
There may be many communities
in which this alleviation of con-
ditions may not have been exiperien-
ced at all. There may, in fact be com-
munities in which conditions ure
considerably worse than they were
5 month ago. But what these fig-
ures do show is the tendency to-
wards a gradual and natural de-
crease in unemployment through-
out the Dominion. They prove de-
finitely that the situation is im-
proving, that Canada is decidedly
better off than she was last month.
They show, beyond doubt, that
the worst is over and the recovery
is in sight. Winnipeg Tribune.
In May, 1930, Canadian purchases
of American products amounted, in
round numbers, to $70,000,000; in
May of this year they had fallen to
nearly $41,000,000. On the same
basis of comparison, purchases of
American rproducts by the United
Kingdom fell from $47,000,000 to
approximately $34,250,000. The
total of American exports in this
same period, although in excess of
imports dropped from $320,000,003
to $204,003,000. These figures in-
dicate a dowmward trade movement
which explains quite clearly the
industrial depression which prevail.;
inthe United States, aggravated
by a materially lessened demand in
ull domestic consuming centres.

It is the greatest depth at which

- ANGINA PECTOBIS 
Perhaps you have a friend with
whom you are walking up l. little,
hill, or lt may be shortly after cat-
lng, and he stops suddenly and'
complains of a. terrible pain in the
breast, the pain is so severe that he
feels one more step forward would
be his last. This rather surprises you
as he is apparently in good health.
This pain is usually at some part
of the breast bone, extending to the
left, sometimes over into left arm,
and is described by the sufferer as
clutching or squeezing in character.
A sickly feeling frequently accom-
panies the pain. '
I-Ie stands speechless, unable to
move and “whatever his position
may be at the onset of the attack,
he will hold or maintain this posi-
tion till the attack passes over. 'I’.he
| muscles are fixed, even the effort of
lying down is rarely attempted when
the attack comes on with the pat-
ient standing. The skin is grey in
color covered with cold sweat and

less agony.

aster of breathlessness, apprehen-
sion and melancholy."

“An insignificant little figure,
small not very good-looking," is the
description one biographer gives of
William Hogarth, the first assen-
tially English artist. He was born
in London in 1697; received his
brief training there; painted Img-
land into his work and died at
Liecester Square in 1764. There
was nothing foreign about Hog-
arth: he was English and original
in every sense of the word.
His first tutor was e. silver-plate
engraver, but he was ambitious to
engrave on copper, which required
s. better knowledge of drawing, and
he studied for a time at the newly
opened art school of Sir James
Thomhlll. If we believe Hogarth's
own story he was self-taught, and
undoubtedly his eye-memory of
minor details did contribute to his
success as a draughtsman. He had
his own theory of drawing, believ-
ing that all the lines of an object
could be memorized and used for
the building up of a. design, as one
memorizes the letters of the
alphabet for writing. Later on he
wrote a ‘treatise explaining his
"Line of Beauty and Grace," a.
serpentine line which appears on
the palette in his self-portrait, now
inthe National Gallery, London.
In this “Analysis of Beauty" he
claims that a figure should be
"pryamidall, serpent-like and
multipied by one two and three,"
and bases his claim on a preeept
attributed to Michelangelo. This

PERTINENT QUESTIONS
Sir,-Mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters of electors, ask yourselves
if, during the interval since the last
Provincial election, have any of your
sons, husbands, brothers or fathers
been exposed to the dangers of in-
toxicating liquors? If so, why?
The Prohibition Law is intended to
prevent the use of intoxicating li-
han mme to the auth” quor. It is provided that such stim-
ulants are available for medical
purposes only. Did the Liberal
rty enforce the law so as to ful-

cause of the condition.
In Europe a muscle extract from

cases; this extract has not been

nourishing the heart, thus allowing
these vessels to remain more widely
open, has also been ~ used success-
fully in many cases.
Fortunately most pains about the

stomach, and not to this distressing
ailment.

THE SILENT POWER.
In silence, not in whirl-wind or in

Not inarticulate, but quiet, it con-

Or clothe the fern, or paint the lily

The riverls undercurrent silent
flows, ‘
But nothing can obstruct its onward
flight;
The light kiss of the sunbeam at

Absorbs the dew-drop-Hoods the

Unseemingly Conduct

When Hon. Peter I-Iceman offered
to smash Dr. Price‘s face, the West-
moreland member stepped blithely
across the House for the accommod-
ation of the ex-Minister, but the
encounter did not materialize. To

in boyish quarrels: On one occas-
ion when he was discovered en-
couraging e. half-hearted scrap
between two boys, who would be
used as models later on for some
street scene.
While Hogarth was a. young man
“Robinson Crusoe," the first real
life st/ory, was published. 'I'his'
book, written for the middle,
rather than the upper class of
English readers, became instantly
popular, and its popularity seems
to have influenced Hogarth in his
choice of subjects. At any rate he
did with his brush and graver what
Defoe had done with words.
I-Ie seems to have had no interest
in royal or high society; the com-
mon people were his models, and
many of them were well known to
him. His friends were of all
classes; writers, artists, and trades-
men. In his art he had a very
modest beginning as an engraver
of "arms and shop bills, and plates
for booksellers." He did some
illustrating too; the twelve large
engravings made to illustrate
Butler‘s "Hudibrs.s" are the best
examples of his work in this line.
I-Iis paintings were done in
eeries of six or seven to a subject
and designed t.o expose the sins and
follies of his day. In the first of
these story-series, "A Harlot’s
Progress," he traces remorselessly
in six scenes the miserable career
of o. woman oi’ the town, and with
this, his first ambitious venture, he
won immediate success. The en-
gravings of this series by Hogarth
himself were in great demand; ,I
twelve hundred names of sub- -
scribers were entered in the
artist's account book. The sub-
scription tickets to his engravings
were among the best of his pro-
ductions and many of them are
still extant.
"The Rake's Progress,” in eight
scones, followed his first success
but was not so popular. In Marri-
age a lg Mode," now in the Nat-
ional Gellery, Hogarth tells s. high-
life story of an ill-assorted marri- ‘
age which “I-las the merit of the
work by a. great master of fiction,
with the additional advantages that
result from the pictorial fashion of
the narrative." His engravings of
these subjects sold well but the
paintings were disposed of by
auction, and for less-in some
cases-than the cost of production.
Hogarth was thirty-two when he
married the only daughter of Sir
James Thornhill, his former
teacher. It was a run-away match

The Cost Of War
(Ottawa Journal)
The world could never endure
another war. It would mean that
civilization -would go imder. Even
today, with the last Great War
more than a decade away, the bur-
den of debt and death is still heal/Y
upon humanity. Everywhere is felt
the loss of 10,000,003 human lives,
the tragedy left in the wake of
20,000,000 wounded, of 9,009,000 Will'
orphans, of 5,000,000 war widows,
of 10,000,030 refugees. `
And that was not all. .In the
speech to which we have already
referred, Mr. Snowden said:
"Great Britain spent $210,000,000,-
000 on its part in that colossal
tragedy (the Great War). The war
has left Great Britain with a debt
of over £7,0l0,000,000. We have to
raise each year £350,000,000 for the
service of this debt. At the present
rate of repayment of the debt itwill
take 140 year to liquidate it. Our
taxpayers have i/o pay on our debt
services £1,000.000 a day, £40,
000 an hour, over £600 a minute.
Add to this the £1l5,000,000 wc an-
nually spend on the fighting eer-
vices and $256,000,003 we pay
yearly for war pensions, and we
get s. total of £520,000,000 a year,
£1,000 9, minute, which the People

one day regarding A history of

explained later, “If I had stayed
there remained nothing for him
but to bite me.” .
l-fe made enemies, of course, and
he had his own methods of re-
prisal not at all praiseworthy; he
painted a. "squinting portrait" of
one enemy, and painted another as
a. bear in ruffles and tattered
bands. They still remain for the
amusement of posterity.
Hogarth's int/crest in a found-
ling's hospital, when he induced
some of his fellow artists to assist
him in decorating the walls free of
charge; was really the beginning of
the Society of English Artists and
later, the Royal Academy. Hia

this hospital, Captain Coram, is

a brilliant man who might have
prospered in many professions. In

At the same time, as The Star has already pointed

Three quarters of our taxes are
spent on paying for past wars and
preparing for future wars."
Canada understands--or ought to.
We have not suffered as England
has suffered, but we, too, have had
our crushing burden of debt, a bur-

retarded industry, helped dwarf
our development. We entered the
war with a. debt of $350,000,030. We
came out of lt with a debt of $2,-‘
500,000,000. Of all the money which
the Government took in taxation
last year, more than half of it went
because of the Great War. More
than 45 millions of it went for pen-
sions; and over 100 millions of it
went to pay interest on war debts.
This at a time when we faced
financial crisis. At 5 time when
money was needed, and needed
badly, for so many vital things.

hearts and united minds and en-

and our churches and our patriotic
organizations are petitioning the
Government to get behind the Gon-
ference, and that is to the' good.
But what should be done, we think,
is that the public opinion should
press upon the Govemment to send
to Geneva in February the strong-
est and most impressive delegation
that this country can produce. This
is not a conference for the delesafks
of one party, nor a trip for some
party favorite, or for some Cabinet
Minister in the usual European
jaunt. It is a. 'conference for rep-
resentation by the best minds and
hearts that the notion can sum-
mon.
