The action of Premier Ben-f nett and his colleagues in securing! authority to act by order-in-counciif In similar emergencies was _criti-I cised in the Opposition press, butt it is now realized that without such authority it would be impos-_é sible adequately to protect thef home producer under existing worldi conditions. This fact has apparent-i ly made a strong impression on thex, British delegation at Ottawa. Further bargaining there will be before the Conference concludes, lnd, doubtless, further pessimistic rumors as to the "disquletlng" situ- stion. But the facts _are obvious enough. The Conference is moving toward success. 'I'he delegates real- ize that failure would be disastrous, and they are all sincerely inspired by a desire for mutual trade pre- ferences in some form or another.

Thousands of "best-sellers" are turned out annually, and these vol- umes, added to the works of`w-rit- ers whose reputation has survived from earlier days, makes almost impossible an intelllg’eTi`t\cnoi¢o or all of what Matthew Arnold de- scribed as "the best that has been thought and said in the world." One great book-reader is said to have remarked that whenever a new book came out, he re-read an old one. Modern readers, however, like' to be'ln touch with the times. There’ must, therefore.-be some criterion' apart from establ‘shed reputation§ Probably ine best way of judging it new book is to re-read it after a lapse of time. If it lacks the inter- est it had at the first reading, it can at once be placed in the cat~ egory of the ephemeral. Many fav- orable re-readings are required, by many diferent people, to place its mortals The distinction between 'hemeral and enduring literature was well brought out by the late D. I-I. Lawrence in the following passage from "Apoca1ypse": “Once a book is fathomed, once it is known and its meaning is fixed or established, it is dead. A book only lives while it has power to move ils and move us differ- entlyi 50 long as we find it dif- ferent every time we read it. Owing to the flood of shallow , books which really are exhausted in one reading, the modern m`nd tends to think every book ls the same-finished in one reading. But it is not so. And( gradually the modem mind will realize it again. The' real joy of a book lies in reading it over and over again and always finding it different, coming upon another meaning, another level of meaning. It is as usual a questxin of values; we are so overwhelmed with quantities of books that we can hardly real- ize any more that a book can be valuable like a jewel or a lovely picture, into wh"ch you can look deeper and deeper and get a more profound experience every tim¢\ It is far better to read one book six times -at intervals, than to read six several books. Because if a certain book can call YOU t9 rea.d it six times, it will be a deep- er and deeper experence each time and will enrich the whole soul, emotional and mental. Whereas six books read once only are merely an accumulation of super- ffcial interest, the burdensome ac- cumulation of modern days- quantity without real value.” EDITORIAL NOTES The reported threat against the sous ¢z,ooo.ooo.ooo wortb or com- modities in A normal year, and it \auysmorethsnLtsells.In1930lte trade with the United Kingdom was greater than that of India, record- Id as Britain’s best customer.

The onty possible fly in the ointment is whether such new party is going to appeal to general favor. Under our system of society political power requires votes. These are the goveming factor.

Canadians were itremerldously pleased when it was ‘announced that thefcrmer .Prime |Minlster of Great Britain was Com- 'ing over for the Conference. Our people like Mr. Baldwin. They are always glad to have him here. They, find that 'he fits into the Canadian picture in the happiest of ways. They like his smile and his pipe and his sense of humor. Perhaps the-weakest feature of- llard Beaverbrooks "Empire Crus- ade" campaign is found in the fact that his attacks seem to Centre on Mr. Baldwin. We may be sentimen- tal, says the Border Cities Star, and all that sort of thing. but we have never been able to get very enthusiastic over anyone who makes savage onslaughts on Mr. Baldw'n. \ In Great -Britain they use a sys- tem of measurement for lumber that has been in force for many. years. All text-books are based on the plan, and builders order their re- quirements according to the meas- ures with which they are familiar. ish Columbia lumbermen have to overcome. When dealers of the White Sea and Balt'c Sea count- ries are willing to cut their lumber in the exact sizes wanted by Great Britain, it is only natural the Eng- lish buyers will favor them. It is reported that on many occasions British Columbia lumber will lie on the docks at London and the build- 'ers pass it by because the boards lare not cut. to the desired dimen- sions.-Border Cities Star. ' Canada should not build tm much l on a Democratic victory in the next, United States Presidential election. says the Farmers Advocate. We have always enjoyed better trade connec- tions with Uncle Sam when the Democrats were in the saddle, but | the Democrats are a minority party and even should they win this time,` any trade concessions enacted might _be short. lived. It _will probably be isafer in the long run to tie up to the British market, where we might at least expect permanency. In the United States, where there k appears to be an inherent weaknessi for legislative inh‘bit‘ons and pro-i hlbitions, a memer of the Louisiana Legislative Assembly ventured to in-, troduce s bill which condemned the use of the weed by women as "in- decent conduct" and proposed that cllarette smoking by them in public should by law_ be barred. Even more extraord‘nary than the proposal- and to the surprise of everybody, outside the Legislature-the meas- ,ure was approved by a majority of the members of the Assembly.

Even after the Now this would seem like a good the system when the blood was not quite so active in its power to kill harmful organisms. Dr. Vogel re- ports however that all of his cases except one reco\'erd without having any trouble from other ailments. What do we leam from.thia? That there lsn't any question but that good healthy tonsils are of service to the body; that when they are inflamed and unable to do their work properly, that the blood is less powerful in its disease iight- ing powers. However it teaches us also that notwithstanding this loss, due to `inrlained wnslls, the blood usually has plenty of disease nght- ing- power to ward of! ailments. - Your doctor however will tell you that many cases of rheumatism do not occur immediately after an at- tack of tonsillitis but -often many days and even many weeks after. In fact the patient has forgotten all about his tonsillltis or his .sore throat, a.nd'naturally does not con- nect 'his rheumatism with it. Healthy tonsils are of help to the body. Unhealthy tonsils are dan- gerous; most cases of rheumatism and heart disease follow attacks of tonsillltis. , - (Vancouver Province) . The Prince of Wales has a badge of three ostrich feathers and a motto, "Ich Dien." Legend says that the badge and motto date from the battle of Crecy. The victor of Crecy was, of course, Edward, the Black Prince, grandson of that un- fortunate Edward who was the first Prince of Wales. Edward III.. father of the Black Prince, had H single ostrich plume for his badge and on the day of the battle, the fathers badge. Two kings were vanquished in the battle, and one of them, John. the blind King of Bohemia. a fa- mous warrior in his day and lead-i er of the knights of the Teutonic order, was slain. After the battle. the Black Prince was knighted by his father and assumed the badge which all his successors have wom -the three plumes and the motto. Both, according to the story which has come down, were assumed from the vanquished King John, and the motto, regarded as Ger- man, has always been translated., "I serve." Historians, however, have never been able to give confirma- tion of the story, and there is no evidence that the King of Bohemia ever wore the plumes or the motto. Where the plumes came from is still as much a mystery as ever. But the origin of the motto, it is said, has now been cleared up. It is, the Manchester- Guardian has learned, not German at all, but broken Welsh, and it means not "I Serve," but "Your Man." The story is as follows: ' Edward I. had conquered Wales. But the Welsh would not stay con- quered, and Edward was in the- midst of a campaign of repression when a son was born to him ati Carnarvori. The Welsh had beenf check Mamhurla wbmd 1°" ‘9°' them his new born son, exclaiming have become a Russian province.

Especially mentioned is a gallant little company of Rhod- esians and a Newfoundland bat- talion fdrawn from the hard-bit- ten fishermen of that iron coast." Every class and condition that 20 months before had been employed in peaceable civilian occupations were also represented: miners from North England, factory hands. clerks and shop-boys, plowmen and shepherds, clolege graduates and dock laborers-"men who in the wild places,of the earth had often faced danger, and men whose chief adventure had been a Sunday bi- cycle ridef' ` There was, Colonel Bti:l'lnil goes on to say, no savage lust of battle, _but a far more formidable thing- a. resolution which needed no riict- oric to support it. As they ad- vanced against “impossible oflris." the gailantry was so universrli and absolute that tile historian thought it idle to select special cases. These tens of thousands who had no graves but the trcnclics or the shell holes in which their uilidcntified sprinkling of the "thirsty dust." by .friendly hands, were such incn as Buchan describes and such men as face Britain's post-wlii' difficulties on a world front today-happily, now in consultation with their neighbor in keeping the worlds peace. This _monument to a common heroism-making the universe a tomb for those who unburied lie- gives names tu another "multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of war." Yet it is not for an added reminder ofthe horror and inhu- man waste of war, nor even to of- _fer praise of those now beyond the reach of words, that their names are carved upon this arch on T-hiep~ val Ridge. Rather does this mom- orial to "the missing on the Somme," looking across what was once a "strip of sheer desolation" suggest afresh that we for whom these sacrifices were made should counsel together and co-operate in world action for the progress of a common humanity so that, as the chaplain said in his prayer or dedi- cation, "we be not ashamed when- we meet these men beyond thc grave." Divorces In Canada (Mail and Empire) The realm of domestic illfelicity has been invaded by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. It estimates that 684 divorces were granted in young prince. story says, wore hisl - Canada last year and that the two most westerly provinces of' the Do- minion assume an unenviable leadership. British Columbia courts granted 208 and Alberta 154 di~ vorces. Canada as a whole register- ed a decline of 21 per ceht. in the number of such decrees as com- pared with the year 1930. - The large increase in the num- ber of divorces between 1924 and 1930 the Bureau of Statistics a'.tIi- butes to the greater ease with which they may be obtained, and to a change of opinion in the com- munity on the question. Prior to 1924, the bureau also finds, Cana- da differed from other countries in the fact that a majority of the divorces granted were at the peti- tion of the husband since then the situation has been reversed. The Calgliry Herald, commenting on the comparative statistics for Saskatchewan and Alberta, says: "It is difficult to understand_whY Saskatchewan, with a population larger than either, should have got by in 1931 with only 51 divorces. If economic depression produces marital unrest and discontent, as is with its blighted crop of last year. should have shown a much larger number of blighted marriages.
