One entered thc police garage at Halifax and stole the radio car. It was found later 3o miles from the city badly wrecked. The same day, while the City Super- intendent of Saint John was conferring with his chief, Commissioner ELLts, a thief entered his car, drove it to a garage, ordered the owner to "fill her up" and send the bill to Mr. Ei.i.is.

Recent cvetits have made it inevitable that at next year's Imperial Conference . it shall be the foremost topic. What! COUTSQ discussion of it will then‘ take will be largely determined by international events between now and the Coronation, afbcr which the Imperial Conference is t0 meet. But there is something to be said for a preliminary cxamlnat-ion of pos- siblr- lines of approach to the prob- 1cm. Onc of these lines was indi- catctl by Mr.’ Bruce in his address at the Royal Emplh" society's summer" school recently. The British Empire, he said in effect. must, henceforth rely on its own resources for its own defence; and, "since the question is of equal 1n- tcrcst ~to all." the Domlnions must contribute more to the cost of Im- porial def-once than they do at present. 'I'hcre are two important qualifications that we should like to make to Mr. Bruce's remarks. The first-is flint there is probably none of the countries of the Empire which would amm- that its need of defence is equal with that of all the othcrs. The second is that. when it comes ,to the dearest- contribution of all. that of human life, the Do- tn‘ni0tis have a record of ivliich they may bf‘ proud and of which we have just born reminded by tho tinveiling of the memorial to the Canadian dead on Vimy Ridge.- London nforntniz Post.

Some of these have already tried the injection method for one or more series with- out success and others have never taken the injections. As the season ls on and the pat- ient is in distress, the physician has to tiy to give some relief. It has been found that while the injection of the ponen neips some cases even during the hay fever uiason, there are many cases where other measures are necessary if the patient 1s to have any comfort. There are some who can go t0 dis- tiicts-free from bay fcvcr and oth- crs who are able to obtain relief 1n uir filtered rooms; but niost suffer- ers are dependent on the physic- ian's preparations. . Until the treatment by pollen was discovered there were a, great, many methods of treating hay fever- heavy doses of Epsom salts, cutting down on food opium, itievcury, cold baths. and various "eye" medicines.

Dominion Isoiatign Again (Toronto Globe) Speaking to thc Canadian Insti- tute of Economics and Po1itics,i Prof. Jenn Brucnesi of the Univer- slty of Montreal is reported to have said: i "If Great Britain Ls involved 1n trouble in Ezypt 0r India. Zea Greer. Britain extricate herself; let. her undertake alone the defense of a. colonial empire by which she alone proiits; this is no concern of Carp. ads." To which he added infer: "There Ls nothing to prevent the Foreign Office in London from 50 arranging maitofs as to force any Dominion, reluctant and hesitant perhaps, to adopt. the same attitude as Great Britain, and this attitude —-be not shocked, my friends-will be adopted in the int/crests of Great Britain, first, East and alivays " Great Britain has not, of course,- asked Canada's assistance in con- nection with either Egypt or Indbgl and Professor Bruchcsi knows thati Canada and the rest of the Dom-l lnions share equally wlili Britain. in the benefits accruing from mem-l bershlp in thoEmplre. At the Imperial Conference of 1926 it was declared that the self- governtng Domlnions are, "auton- omous communities within the British Empire, equal in stiivus, in no way subordinate one to another" (or toBrltntn) "in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegi- ance to the Crown, and freely as- sociated as members of the British Commonwealth of Natlotis." tty that the Domtnlcns would Join 1n any risky venture designed to promote only the interests of Great Britain, “first, last and always." Nor are there any means by which Bri- tain oould compel them w do so. Appealing to the opinion of a very small minority of Canadians, Professor Bruchest presented an en- tlrely incorrect picture of Imperial relations, Even he, presumably, would look to Great Britain for active assist- ance should this Dominion be threatened by an aggressor; yet he would assert that it would be no affair of Canada's if any other part of the Empire were in similar dan- ger. He knows, perhaps, that Can- ada's principal markets are found in Great Britain and "tier colonial Empire"; but, presumably, he ex- pects those markets to be preserv- cd to Canada even though she shouid refusa _bo take any steps to defend them. He need feel no alarm regarding the probability of Brltalnis de- manding canadian support. other than moral support, in tho colonies; but from a purely selfish standpoint he should realize that the welfare of Canada is Whuppcd up fn the welfare of the Empire and that 1f the Empire falls Canada cannot hope long to stand. Among those who share the pro- fessor's views on this subject there is a belief that the United States must, both because of the dictates of the Monroe Doctrine and because fruits. cease to speak ill of our chiefs," he concluded. There is, therefore, no pvobabtl- ‘ ports from the Accident Prevent-IO“ Associations; an article from the Health League of Canada; a si-OIY from the Toronto Conservatory 0f Music; several from the Ontario Highways Department, and others from the Great Lakes DKPOSMW- The Canadian Institute of Econo- mics, Hamilton Bay Swim, sQVET-‘l would-be feature writers; a securi- t‘es firm; im auto finance com: puny; '8- btmk repfirb: I 30"" °f Commons debate; from National Sanitarla.

We have l1 method of getting rid of our ILPOUbIEs wholesale, so without play- ing any favorites, here goes the whole shooting match into the wastepaper basket. On Teachers English (Saturday Night) We never feel quite so hope‘ess about the future‘ of education tn, Canada-and the future of educat-i ed Canadians-as when we some specially glorious example of, the English language as now em-ii played by educators. The Canndlam Teachers Federation in conventlonl at Saskatoon last week adoptedi the following resolution: “That It be the po‘lcy of the q.'r.r'. to press 'p'erslstently and continuous- ly for a consciousness in the per- sonnel o.’ Canadian teachers that citizenship building for Canadian, Empire and worid values meansl the building of basic attitudes from the beginning of school life." And having read that sentence we feel more than usually depressed. If that is the best that our assembled educators from all over Canada can do with me Eingllsh language, what 1n the name of goodness can we expect; from those who are merely the victims whom they educate? The sentence is not ungrammatl- cal. It. is long, but not unduly long; we often do worse ourselves. It contains no words that are not in the Oxford dictionary. But. hardly one of the key words tn It; ls used with any definite meaning. Part of, it is jargon-professional educators‘ jargon. The rest o.‘ it ls cant- professlonal educators’ cant. - We thoroughly approve of the C.T.F. pressing for things. There are some things that. they are sup- posed to know more about than anybody else, and if they d0n’tl press for these things nobody else will. But why must it; "be the pol- icy" 0f the C.T.F. to press for things Would they press for things that 1t wasn't. their policy to press for anyhow? And who cares about their “po!1cy" so long as they "press?" We thoroughly approve of Canadian teachers being conscious of certain things and we think 1t. is probnbIy right‘ that the c.'r.1='. should "press" to make them con- scious of such things.

Seventy time seven European bombing planes are sent into Spain —S;vtet of Fascist or both. Not it’ Spain seems certain to go Cdm- munist or Fascist, and wrath mounts to the boiling point.

Not if General Franco has s offered Italy a military base in the Balearic Islands. as it Ls reported, nor if he has promised the German army a stronghfld in Spanish Mor- occo. Not if munitions makes in 571K099 0r America see a. golden opportunity for new business. The fear of Italy at the prospect read; rf a. Communist state at its back does not Justify war. Nor the fear of France that the Fascists will completely encircle it. The balance of power in Europe, is between radical and conservative, can tilt this way or that; incident can pile on incident; and. still there 1s no material or moral benefit in plung- ‘Ing the world into anzther futile holocaust. These are the facts to make clear today, and to repeat with every succeeding Spanish shock to the flimsy shock of European diplom- acy. Europe is at this moment in a. critical stage of transition. The forces supporting the collective Pt-‘Bce system are struggling to find new methods and new strength. The world needs these coming months of rebuilding, and must have them as far as possible clear of the disruptive influence of 1n- tense international meddling in Spain. N. S. Potato Crop - (Eastern Chronicle) This week there has come to the Eastern Chronicle offlce from the Market Branch of the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture, a circu- lar cfll-IITIB attention‘ to the promis- ing outlook for a potato market this iyear. It happened that just after "M11118 lhe circular we had a. v‘si't from a party who is very well 1n- formedon the potato market; on the American continent. We pointed the circular at, lilm and asked if there was any real foundation in that optimistic pros- pect for the potato grower. He fully concurred 1n the fore- cast contained in the Market Branch circular. He said. unless blight and rot Sela in, there is every prospect for more than an average crop or pm tatoes ln the three Maritime Prov. 111995- This. he said. is apt to give U18 firmer. who has not. the oppor- "lnll? to know the general market situation. the impression that pota- ‘W8 W111 be a drug on the market. It ls a fact that. the potato price is usually determined by conditions in the Unfted States where potato growers from Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick and Nova lScotls. ship their potatoes when they flnd that market is available. A normal crop in the United States, which usually insures an flveflse price. is 380000.000 bushels, and represents three bushels p21‘ head 01' Population. or three times 120,000,000. When the crop excmds that figure, prices In the U, S, are ususuv low. When it, falls below "m number prices usually are firm and the U. S. imports potatoes. This year's forecast of thtfpotato CFOP- issued from Washington last week, places the crop at 294,070,000 bushels. the smallest crop in years. In 1935 when the United States 670D was slightly over 300,000,000 bushels. prices soared to_$3 per bag of ninety P0unds and Canadian potatoes went over the line by the hundreds of carloads.

Added to the American situation is the reported short crop situation 1n Ontario, where Maritime pom. oes are annually sold 1n large quan. itles. Just how many potatoes. win be needed in that market 1s at ye, uncertain but there is every r0359“ to believe that the demand win be strong. “No one can be 511113 about the future," concluded our visitors, “but never in my tme have crop flgurgg pointed to a better marker. for m. tatnes. Undoubtedly pricflg on [he local market will remain fairlv loiv at least as long as farmers continue as at present, to truck 1n large supplies to our town and city mar- kets. But it would seem to mg r0 be the height of wisdom for farm- ers, who have sound potatoes, free from rot. to hold a share of them for what promises to be an excep- tional market." "Only one warning would I give," he said, as he left. "That Ls toll your Nova Scotla farmer- friends u) be more pnrtficuiar than heretofore about the grading nndpacking of their potatoes." This is the circular referred to in the above Interview. Potato producers of Nova Scotia this year have in prospect, a brisk demand for their product at a fair- ly remuneratlve price. as a result of a, shortage in crop in most of the heavy potato produoiig areas of the continent, according to infor- mation marl-e available from [he Marketing Bratich of the Provincial Department of Agrrlcuituie. A11 indications now prcscnt point to a lighter crop than for many years over the continent. While offlclnl fltzures are not yet available ___ I__,_-__ g w ntcr and Spring on the Canadian crop. ft is psncr- _ ally conceded that unless a consti- ci-able change occurs. the Ontario crop will be quite light. The rrop in Quebec and the Maritlmos. bow- ever. will be near normal. In the United Stnfcs, the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture figures now available show that the Auuttst 1st estimate for the whole of the U. S. was 294 million bushels, compared with the final futures for the 1935 crop at 365 million bushels. This estimate ‘s the lowest for many years at this period of the season. While the shortage is greatest in the central and western States, the estimates for the nine ‘lam and surp‘us' states show that. these states will probably produce only 1'72 million bushels as against inst Year's crop of’ 203 millions. ' This situahori lends to the belief, states the N. S. Markets Branch. that there will be n ready salv at fairly remunerutlve pr'ccs for the Nova. Scotla product. Grading of potatoes will be an important factor in the oxtmtt to which the Nova Scotin product, tvrl b: markefod to advantage. The Halifax and Sydney markets have in the past few years utilized over 500 carloads of potatoes from other provinces. This was largely due, not to stiperior quality, but to het- ter gradlns of the outside product. The nctivtlcs of producers in rer- taln Nova. scotla potato areas last spring in organizing marketlnq as- sociations for the moving of the product to market on a grridcfl basis, rilnycd n vital part In scum! Nova Seotln potatoes to Nova Sco- tfans. Some 8f) cariotids moved t0 market from these areas on that basis. The prospect is that this ef- fective form of marketing will do- veiop further this your in view 0f the special opportunity provided hi’ the neneral potato shot-tame. id m.
