Statements are being circulated in New York that American tourists are only allowed to Iiring in $100 in US. currency and that if they bring in more they are liable t0 have it taken from ilic-in at the border by customs officers and returned only when they leave Canada- The ex- act contrairy- is the case, and the Control Board has been at particular pains to point Out in their regulations that special provision has been made to avoid inconvenience to visitors from the Un- ited States or abroad. Any American tourist can bring into Canada as much mom-y as they like, and can spend it lit-re, The only provision that the Board ntaltes is that they CIIIIIIUL take back into the United States an amount of money greater than that which they brought in. In other words they cannot bring in in US, currency, and take out $1,000. If the amount they bring in, either in Caiiatliau or foreign currency is under $100 in any one calendar month they do not need any permit or license. But if the amount exceeds $100 all they have to do is to fill out a fonn pro- vided by the Customs officer at the port of en- try, one copy of which the traveller will retain, which specifies the amount of money being brought in. \\'hcn the tourist returns to the border he rnust produce this form and declare the amount of tiioney he is taking out, and it must not exceed that which he declared he brought in. The ob- ject of this regulation is to‘ prevent anybody tak- ing advantage of the exchange situation or tak- ing out of the country the proceeds of sales of securities or other things, which can only be donc under a license issucd by the Control Board P. E. I. Hospital Campaign The annual subscription campaign of the Prince l‘itl\\'lll‘fl Island Hospital takes place next week", and it is hoped that the results, as on former occasions, will be satisfactory and will enable this invaluable institution to maintain for another year the proud record that no pa- ticut has ever been turned away because of lack of funds. Hospital needs, it is pointed out, have increased with the increase in food prices and other expenses of maintenance, and these ex- penses can only be met by increased revenues. The animal collection affords an opportunity for everyone to share iirthe work which the Hos- pital is doing. Unlike private institutions, a hospital cannot function on a purely business basis; the best it can do is administer its funds as economically as possible while maintaining efficient public service, irrespective of the pay- ing capacity of the patients. There is general satisfaction with the close financial supervision which the trustee board has given to the oper- ation of the P. E. I- Hospital, which compares favorably with that of any similar institution on the continent. (foiitributors to the subscription campaign are assured that funds will be ex- pended wiscly and well, and that there is urgent need for prompt and generous response at this time. _A Uriited Empire It is cheering to Canadian readers to note the sympathetic altitude shown by many leading Lillilctl States neon-papers towards Britain and France in the struggle now raging in Europe.

C. Baravelli, published in I937, as it gives a fairly accurate forecast of what is happening» “Stalin's plan, therefore, has failed. His cf- forts to confine Communism to Russia, at least during a preliminary stage, have been smashed by the very laws of life. It is the revenge of Trotzky. Either he must return to a ‘bourgeois’ economy, or enforce Communism outside the boundaries of Russia. The first solution would mark the end of Utopia, the catastrophe of the revolution, the end of the present leading class; the second ieould mean rear all over the ruorld." 1k =0: a A successful explorer is not necessarily a suc- cessful business man. Commander Frank \Vild, once famous‘ as a veteran of South Polar ex- ploration, but long since forgotten, died at Klerksdorp, near Johannesburg, South Africa, the other day just after a civil list pension of $850 a year had been granted to him. Wild, a Yorkshireman 0f sixty-five, described as "a mild-mannered little felloiv with a scrubby mus- tache and an apologetic air," always asserted that he was the last descendant of Captain Cook_ Gold and diamonds are mined at Klerlcsdorp, but char- ity could only find an unimportant, ill-paid job for a man who had heard himself extolled a thousnd times as one of the bravest of the brave. \Vild went South with Scott, with Mawson, and with Shackleton. He spent ten years in the Ant- arctic. Shackleton uscd to say that \Vild‘s exu- berant energy was like having a 100-horsepower engine in a ilinghy.

Parliament has been prorogued and Prime Minister Mac- nouneed that there will be no Nat- ional Government, the responsibil- lhy for directing Canada's activit- ies in the war will devolve upon him and the members of his Cab- inet. The Expositor which, with many other newspapers, earnestly advocated the organization of n National Government long before the country became engaged In war, in order to deal In a courag- eous and non-partisan manner with domestic issues, believes that the Premier has made a mistake in attempting to carry the tremen- dous burden thet confronts the country without calling in the aid of other parties.

Fiuw that war has come, the peo- ple of Canada must prepare them- selves for disappointment and dis- couragement as well as for grat- ification and encouragement. What no man knows is where and how the last battle will be fought. Those of us who are oii tiie Brit.- lsh side only feel deep in our be- ings that it will end 1n the defeat as an in- strument of policy. Before that last. battle l; fought, however, many things must take place, much suffering must, be endured and many sacrifices made. The prob- ability 1s that reverses will come to the Allies’ cause, as well as n: that of the enemy. Perhaps for weeks reports will come of indif- ferent succes by the Anglo-French forces. International treachery may also be encountered, We must steel ourselves against such things by recognized that they may hap- pen.

Belfort stands on the south near the intersection of the French, German and Swiss frontiers. Metz stand on the north near the jurie- tlon of the French, German and Luxembourg borders. They are the great nail-heads which hold the Magiriot. Line in place. From Lux- embourg this line juls eastward and then turns sharply southwest, forming an abrupt salient in the German flank. It. l; faced on the German side by an equally forni- Idable network of fortification cal- led by Hitler the Limes Line, or tne Westwall, nnd by the French the Siegfleld Line. It Is along this 180-mi1e from that the French army is feeling out the German forces. The German base their campaign in Poland on the belef that the French cannot. smash through the Limes Line certainly not 1n time to relieve the pressure nn Poland or only at a prohibitive cost. It. may be so. Nevertheless, IL ls not a perfect natural bairier. There are at least two gates iii the Weittvall. On the south the Belforit Gap leads Into rolling country. like the Berkshires, oe- liween t-he Vosges and the Jiira Mountains. In times past the Goths, the Burguncliaiis and Llic Vandals have surged through It Into France. On the north the Mosclle leads past Metz. where 1t unites with the Ssllle, and flows through the southeastern corner of Luxembourg to join the Rhine at Cc-blenz. It has carved out the so-called Rcmnn Valley between Luxembourg and the Saar. Gentle slopes fall away to n. broad stretch of level ground on either bank of the rlver. The scenery Is “docile, graceful, quiet." But southward through the whole great triangle to the SwLss border some of the odlest battles of history have been fought. HQ-‘e the Germans swept through 1n 1870 to over- whelm the French at Gravelotte and conquer Metz. But It was through the ‘Belfort. Gap that the French strupk back fn 1914. They underestimated the German stren- gth and were defeated at. Mor- hange. But two week; Inter, at the Trouee des Chnrme: they made n stand that sent the Bavarian; reeling homeward. In the Welter of the World War these early engagements seemed obscure events but scme say they enabled the French to win the Battle of the Marne. Whatever the curtain of censorship may conceal or whet-e ever the French decide to strike, we may be sure that General Gamelln has not failed to test these two gates in the Weitwalf- New York Times.

Hts pulse was Just '12, wnereas before me operation the rate was betrween 100 and 110. You can thus see that the surgeon who had operated had removed just the rlgnt amount of the thy- roid gland, Arid surgeons will tell you that. in the maJcriLy of cases the amount. of the thyroid gland removed by operation is usually the right. amount. HOWBVEI‘. as In all operations, It 18 110i Only the immediate result than must be considered but the condition of the patient months and years after operation. There are cases where me goiter condi- tion - rapid heart bent, nervous- ness, slecplessness and indigestion —“pers1st.' after the operation, showing that, not enough of the thyroid gland was removed. There are also cases where the unprove- ment occurs after the operation but the symptoms return some months or even years after the operation. Drs. R. B. Cattel and H. J. Perkin, Laney Clinic, Boston, re- port their findings over a ten year period (1927 to 1936) 1n Western Journal Surgery, Osste- trics, and Gynecology, Portland, Oregon. Removal of part of the thyroid gland In One or two stages was performed on 4,956 patients. Of these, 119 were later operated on for "persistent" hyperthroldlsm (goiter), and 1B7 for a “return" of the goiter symptoms months or even years after the operation. The average interval between t/he first and second operation for “pcrsistentfl goiter was two years and four mouths; for cases In which the goiter “returned", 1t Was seven years and eleven months. Drs. Ciittel and Perkin believe thrit/ following the first. operation the return of the goitre symptoms can often be prevented If the pat- ient is watched carefully. Their patients are advised to refrain from work for from slx to twelve weeks. Dally rests, avoidance of stimulants and excitement are necessary. To prevent a. "return" of thyroid symptoms after operation, careful estimation of the amount of iodine 1n the blood is made and if found to be normal, more of the thyroid gland should be removed than where the iodine content 1s above normal. aln, the Irish official summed It all up in these few words.
