Who Elects Governments’? Great minds think alike. Addressingthe Legislature on Wednesday, Hon. Dr. McMillan stressed the fact that unfortunately it was not the best elcnictns \\llo rcturncd governments, but largely the utuhitik-itig, those who did not give a. though: to the true interests of the country. At the satire time Chief justice Grccnshields was addressing a gztzlttiriitg in Montreal, and this is what he said: “.\path_v, itidifference, prc-occupa- tion with absorption in their own selfish inter- ests are the marks of the indifferent citizen. Ir- responsible agnators are bad enough in all con- science when titisgttided, but they are far pre- ferable, in my opinion, at least, to the man who never thinks abi-ttt anything saving what touches his own little itcrs-ntnlirv; who lives in a littlc world of his own contiort, and who regards earth-shaking cvcnts merely as disturbing ele- mgntg in his own peace and pleasure." These people the Chief justice coittinued, “largely, if not contplctelit, detrrtitine the destiny of the world, and save fut‘ ille brief time in the excite- ment of an clfiCllttll~—\\‘lll'll the emotions are at their floodtitle and contmon scusc, reason and judgment are at their lowest ebb——do they give thought to the right and wrong of a government polio-y, No: a 11:1 tight do they give to the obliga- tion and task of citzzcusltip." A foolish, selfish, unthinking (lcntocrztry maybe as dangerous to the public wcal as any oligarchy, the Chicf jus- tice said, lie lantcmcd that though the \vorld’s granaries are fi with food thousands are faced with star Seeds time and harvest have ncvcr fa: (l yet pctutry and want stalk through the hurl. The world, His Lordship continued, is [tasslng front an old order, known and definite, to a ncw order dim and uncertain. Loud speak-rug rcarairuiarics and subtle masters in compromise receive more attention than ac- credited leaders in whont the aspirations of man- kind find expression. The C. D. Menace ll. In his speech on the budge/t, Hon. Dr. Mac- Millan touched briefly on the CD. menace. It would be difficult to exaggerate the import- ance of the Srnstttiottal announcement that at least early syphilis can be cured in five days by slowly dripping massive doses of arscniczll com- pounds into the vciits, says New York Times. Front the last annual report of the Surgeon Gen- eral it appears that from July I, I938, to June 30, 1939. State dcpztrtiticnts of health reported 485,90; cases of syphilis, which means that the actual number catniot be far from 600,000. Ap- palling as the figures may be, they give no true icture of the actual problem because of an un- own number oi old cases. Easily lulled into a false sense of wcll-bcittg and apparent cure, far too many syphilitics abandon a tedious course of periodic injections which last: from eighteen month: to twenty-four. Confined to a hospital, while into the blood there trickles the enormous quanttiy of 12 1-2 quarts of liquid containing more arsenical compounds than are usually atl- ministered in thrcc or four months, there is no eecape from complete treatment under the new method. Discharged, the :yphilitics are no longer centres from which infection may spread. Though the treatment can be given as yet only in hospitals, and thcn only by physicians and nurses trained in l. new technique, and though no tests have a: yet been made on late :nd congenital asu of syphilis, there is no doubt of the ad- vance that ha: been made. Moreover, there i: marked reduction in cost. Even at this experi- mental nage about $82 is spent on a patient instead of the usual $250 to $500. Much more than :yphili: i: involved in thi: :ucces:. A whole new system of therapy i: revealed. Drugs which are therapeutically potent but poisonous can now be trickled into the blood in great quantities with safety. Syphilis is merely one of a score of dis- ease: that are likely to yield to thi: new therapy. The War In Norway, The extraordinary success of Britain’: first counter-drive by sea and air against the Nazi invader: of Norway has, perhaps, tended to raise undue expectations of an early and complete Allied victory. Yrt thcre has been nothing in the official British broadcasts or news despatches to warrant this fl$~lili11‘tll0ll_ \Ve are all prone to do too much “wiz-ltfttl thinking", to magnify victories and minintize rcpulscs. From the start, the British liovcritiucut envisaged a war of at least thrce ycars‘ duration. Thcre has ncvcr been any drntbt, cxprt-ssctl or implied, as to the tilti- mate outcome. llut thcrc has been repeated cm- phagis (m the fallacy of intagining that a country so well prcpztrctl and equipped as Germany could be dcfcaml by attytltiitg short of protract- ed hostilitics.

Such bcittg lhc case, and ltcarmg that will carry it to success. The Allies, of course, ltave the advantage of being in practically contplctc control of the sea, whereas the enemy has to rely mainly on atr- craft for the transport of men and war ma- terials. But the necessary superiority in ntcn and war ntachinery can only be obtained by the Allies at great cost, by relatively slow degrees, through a process of cottvoycd surface trans- ports which will certainly take weeks, and may even take months of incessant and methodical effort. Meanwhile, as the Sydney Post-Record suggests, occasional setbacks are inevitable. But equally certain will be the tiltimate deliverance of Norway from the Nazi invader. \Vtth that deliverance, the Allies, in full possession of Nor- way and its resources, will be in an immensely stronger position than Gcrtttany to dominate Scattdittavia, and will be wcll away to their final stride to victory in the war. EDITORIAL NOTES Shirley Brooks, famous Editor of “Punch". born this date, 1816. llis satires of Parliament bcgttn in i870, have remained a feature of that weekly till the present day. A novelist and poet as well: “But never be a tear-drop shed for them, the pure, enfrattcltised dead." I i ll Q Hon. Vincent Massey, spoke as representative of the senior Dominion at the annual luncheon in London at which Mr. Alfred Duff Cooper was principal speaker. With a smile the High Commissioner offcrcd the greetings of the so- ciety of St_ George iii Toronto, tnore than a century older, to the “youthful and prontisitig branch in London." iii! An indicator of the dangers of war at sea is the instirance rate, which at present is on the as- ccndattt, nolwithstatitlitig that half the German flcct is supposed to be out of action. The Insti- tute of London Uttderwritcrs have raised war risk insurance rates IO shillings for each i1o0— or $2.22 for each $l45~of cargo for all ships tottcltittg ports in the Mcditcrraitcatt or Black Sea. This rise is equivalent to 1-2 per ccnt of the value of a shipment. The rate previously was four per cent. It now becomes 4 1-2 pcr cent. The new rate between the Americas and the Mcditcrrattcnn and lllaclc Sca has bcctt set at 4o shillings for £100 uttdcr the Allied ‘flag and 3o shillings undcr a nctttral flag. These rates are equivalent to two per cent, and 1 1-2 per cent respectively. iii! Our farmer mrntbers of the Legislature have not nmch use for compulsory co-operation, as was evidenced in the discussion on the measure before the House. Co-opcration to be a suc- cess must “produce the goods," and, alas, up till now attempts to do so hcrc ltave failed. \\'ith the outstanding examples of not how to do it, of the late lamented Farmers’ Co-ottcrative, headed by Senator Sinclair and Mr. Lester Douglas, the Potato Growers’ Association, by Mr. Wilfred Boultcr, and the Egg and Poultry Association by Mr. L. Macdonald, all good and splendid in- dividualists, ntakitig a succcss of their own in- lercsts, the average farmer has become a little shy of placing all his eggs and potatoes in one co-opcrative basket. Ittiii This can be said for President de Valera of Eire, he has the courage of his convictions and shows a determination to have his policy 10o per cent effective. Sometime ago six Irish Repub- lican Army men were convicted of plotting against the government and scntcttccd to long tcrms of imprisonment. They immctlizttcly wcnt on a hunger strike, dentanding to be treated as mili- tary prisoners, and in spite of appeals from all quarters to reach a compromise, de Valera de- clared no surrender. Fiftyr-five days later, the httnger strike ended in the death of two prison- ers and the submission of the other four. 'I'ltc President commenting 0n this said: “It is quite clear that the hunger strikers dcmand that all prisoners belonging to their organization, no matter what offense they commit, should be held in military custody and recognized as a military force entitled to be treated as men engaged in legitimate warfare." To concede the strikers’ demands, he added, would be to admit the right of persons outside government control to carry on a. second army within the State, a condition no executive could survive. U i I The promotion of the Hon. Cyrus MacMillan at McGill i: of greater importance than the brief news bulletin received here implied. He has been made Dean of the Faculty of the Arts. 'I'he division of the Arts and Science Faculty into four groups, each with its chairman is also an- nounced. This is with the idea of bringing about a new :ystem of educational administration, and Dean hlaclllillan will be Chairman of the Coun- cil. Thc changes may be classified as follows: I. Hon. Cyrus MacMillan, Molson Professor of English Language and Literature—membcr of Parliament for Queen's, Prince Edward Island— becomes Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science succeeding Professor (jharlcs W.

OBI!!!- CHARLOTTETOWN March 28th,’ 1940 Daily War Survey (By The Canadian Presl) Until Germany invaded Den- mark amd Norway force of ctr- ctmrwtatices made the Allied pow- ers somevumt. lacking tn initiative and strategic boldness. Now they have plenty of opportunity no d15- play both and have done so. As long as Germany left neu- tral countries alone and held to tthe solid works of the Selgttrled Line t-hc Nazis forces could bask in the doubtful glory of their lightning conquest of Pole/ad whale the British and Remit appeared to be fighting an unfmaginative de- fensive ttype of warfare. France could only strike at. the enemy on the fortified western front and Great Britain could on- ly encounter him by parsng through mlnefields and attaclcng the northern ooest of Germany, al- so heavily fortified. The use of neutral territory by the Allies al- ways was out of the question. ‘Imus it. is curious. but loglcabthot the Germans should actually pre- sent the Allies with a front 0n which they can manoeuvre and fight. Gemiranyb plan of combat,- ting the Allied blockade was des- tined sooner or later to force her Lo attack a neut/ral state, thereby giving the Allies an opportunity to oome to the ald of that state Roughly the German anti-block- ade plan was tocajoleorizttintldate all neutrals adjacent into a. sort of economic union with the Reich. a condition in which they would cease trading with the Allles and trade with Germany on a larger scale vmtle at. tine same time serv- ing as gates through which Ger- many might; obtain needed com- modlt-les from overseas. Sinking of neutral ships 0:1 the seas was one way in which the Germans applied pressure on neu- trals but to achieve complete suc- cess it. was inevitable that some neutral. some time, should be at- tacker) and punished still more severely fin order to sulpptly an ob- ject lesson tio others. The attack on Norway and Den- tryfthiimiiistirilivears of wai- in Eugobe ntlttht. indeed be ushered ou . mark was designed to serve trig pisrpose as well as omeis. Norivtiy and Llenmark were so situated that their ocoupation gave Ger. many virtual control ot Sivettcn and Finland as well. The tact. that trade discussions were opened up with Sweden immediately stiows how the Germans are pushing their advantage In dealing vrttn that country. Then, too, it; fitted into s strategic plan of mtcttstfted sub- marine and air warfare on Great Britain with the ultimate purpose of invasion. Keep Mineral’: In the home.
