FIRST THINGS FIRST The report; submit-ted at the an- nual meeting of the Red Cross So- liety on Tuesday night were highly moouraglng. Though collections were about a thousand dollars less than in the previous year, the president, Dr. H. D. Johnson report- rd that the work has been continued steadily. special reference was made by the secretary, Dr. the H011. W. I. P. Afaolivfiilan, to the wonderful success which has accompanied the I .g'ippled children's work. “We have meiiched this point in the progress of the work," he stated, “that we are now in touch with more of our er-lppled children per oapite than A any other province in Canada." This is a magnificent achievement for I the smallest province in the Domin- l lon, and one which should inspire _ Iven greater efforts in the fixture. Is there any objective more im- portant iiid far-reaching in. its fsonsequence than the care of the health at the children of l. oom- lnunity? Our civilization might well deserve to stand or fall on ‘such on issue. For Years past Dr. Mac- Millan has been an ardent cham- pion of the work which the Red Cross Society i; doing in this coin- nection. He has been loyaliy assist- ed by Miss Wilson, now chief of the nursing staff of the Provincial De- ' pertinent of Pufblio Health over ‘which Dr. MacMilian presides.

INDIAKS‘ FUTURE’ The Marquess of Zctiancl, former Qovernor of Bengal and biographer b: the late Imd curzon, is visiting , Canada. and in an address at Mou- treal this week gave an illiiminatinil talk on India, The political fut- ure of that great country he pictur- ed as follows: A federal Legislature will be established at the t-onsisting of representatives of the and from QOIIIIC, provinces and cities among these reprcscntativts. an ex- ‘ , tcutive council will b0 drawn, simil- ‘ or u; the Cabinet in Great Britain. ' ' The internal administration of 5 ' India will be vested in theiexecutive, r which will be responsible to the fed- eral Legislature, much as the Can- adian Cabinet is responsible to Par- liament. But the defence of India, control of the army, the conduct of foreign affairs and certain aspects of finance will be iivyond the PUTVIEW v-of the Legislature and vested in the Viceroy. His Lordship emphasized the mat- erial achievcnrcnLs of the British in Indin, the cotisiructlon of railways . and the establishment cf universit- - qw- ice, irrigation work and the re- claiming of desert wastes, the er- adication of famine, plague and pestilence. “All these thiflll." His lordship sold, "will find their place in his- tory, but it may be that the verdict of history will be that the supreme achievement of Great Britain in Asia is that, by her administration in India, by he;- poiicy towards the Indian peoples, she has made poa- sible the establishment in that country of a parliamentary system of home rule." UNDER SOVIET HEEL Rec ‘ pmas delpotches revealed that the populations of entire villages in southern Russie an be- ing exiled to the frozen hm-ibar camps in Siberia, their lands and properties being divided among Red Army veterans and other "loyal" supporters of the Soviet authorities. This exemplary punishment has been meted out to the peasants be- curse they railed "to oo-operate with the government's programme of increased agricultural produc- tic ". Last December the Soviet established a unified passport sys- tem to facilitate further "removals" of ens ‘ d ‘inqucrr and pre- vent their leaving the country. Bo much comment has been occasioned by this decree, which practically doonis thousands of Russians to life-long slavery in Siberia, that an attempt to explain the situation is mode in the month- iy journal publislnd for American consumption Iby the Amtorg Trad- ing Corporation, commercial agents of the Soviet in the United States. The explanation falls ridiculously short of the facts as revealed by independent press correspondents, but it indicates that rigorous use of the pasport system is being con- templated. We quote from the Aoflorg publication: “On account of the shortage of housing and transportation and distribution facilities, it has been decided to relieve the most popu- lated Points of those persons (ex- cept lnvalids and pensioners) not connected with production or work in institutions or schools and not occupied with socially useful labor. The passports will permit clearing the larger cities of loaf- ers, drifters, criminals and other anti-social elements. The system will be established gradually dur- lng the current year. The first cities to introduce 9355170119 will be Moscow, Leningrad, Kharkov. Kiev, Odessa, Minsk, Rostov-on- Don and Vladivostok. The pass- ports will contain information as to the name, age, nationality, social status, plane of employment and place of residence of the bearer." EDITORIAL NOTES Amongst the six women called to the English bar last week is Lady Chattcerjee, wife of Sir Atul Chat- terjee, a member of the Council of India for two years and one of the most prominent Indian statesmen. Sir Atul and Lady Chaterjec were at Ottawa attending the Imperial Economic Conference last summer. One of the placards issued by the Ontario Department of Health asks this question: "What should you do when you have a cold?" It gives the following stnsible reply: "Rest as much as possible Sleep and light diet are important. Ro- member the other follow. Use a handkerchief when coughing or sneezing." Tiiroiizh a typograpliicalcrrorlna CanadianPress despatch in yester- day's Guardian Premier Bennett was wrongly quoted as indicat- ing the Government's approval of the so-cailed Russian barter pro- posal. The statement should liiive read "there was slight possibility of~ it receiving the Govemmentfis approval." The Prime Minister's full statement on this subject, which appears in today's Guardian, shows that while the mulch or IliE mu’ There is not now and never has beeu any real substance behind the much ballahoed cattle oil barter deal with Russia. One of the prin- cipai proposals was that Oansas should break the Anglo-Canadian trade agreement signed at the 0t- tawa Imperlal Conference only s. few months ago. Another condition was that the Canadian Government, besides putting up funds to finance the exchange of cattle, oil, coal, m. should guarantee the Russian a! cuts against any failure on the port of the Soviet interests to carry out their port of the bargain. No gov- ernment outside of a lunatic asylum could T981111 such on enterprise with a. moment's favor. In the last eleven months 19,653 new settlers came to Canada, 15,588 from the United States and 2,024 from England. These figures look trival by contrast with the half mil- lion immigration record that was reached in a. single year a quarter of a century ago. Tjhere is no im- migration today from Continental Europe to Canada, and next to none to the United States. The depres- sion has checked population move- ments as cflectively as s world war. The British uovenmentu reply to Washim-tonb overture on the war debt question as explained by Neville fhamber‘ made it plain that Britain would prefer complete cancellation as properly complemen- tary to the action of Britain, France and other European countries in virtually cancelling German repar- ations. Anot-her point. emphasized by Mr. Chamberlain was that, with a view to avoiding further chaos, a final settlement of the British debt to the United States must now be achieved. Bflsing cancellation the "ttiement must be for s. lump sum so small that it will not necessitate the resumption of Britain's Cifl/im on German reparations, for that would undo all the fine work achiov/xl at Lausanne last summer. The United States has so imeml- ed its Constitution as to abolish the short session after election and to have the President inaugurated on January 20th instead of March 4th. Thus, the interval which heretofore has elapsed between the election of a President and his assiunption of oflloe is reduced by 43 clays and is now about two and a hail months instead of four months. The fight for this amendment continued for 15 years. It required tires»; years- to wear down the opposition in the House of Representatives, whose members failed io sec that i‘. would do them any good. The mild weather during thc month of January somewhat shat- tered the faith of the iveatlier wise who had been looking forward to s. winter of exceptional severity on account of the alleged heavier fur and feather protection of the little denizens of the forest. The heavy biiz zard of last ore-ck, has, however, rc- built their hopes that the squirrels, rabbits and birds knew what they had been preparing for by wrapping themselves in unusually warm fur and feather equipment. As February and March are still before us there may yet be room for the little ani- mals to prove their prognostication abilities. So far the prophetic abil- ities of these humble weather pro- phets may be set doom as not prov- en. Six women were admitted to the llmgllsh Bar the other day.

It may be said that the fcnr ol war is one of the chief reasons for the raising of barriers against our wheat by countries which aim to become self-sustaining; that war is the inevitable outcome of the pres- ent financial-economic system; and that nothing short of radical finan- cial and economic reconstruction which will remove the underlying causes of war, can give llS again an assured market for our wheat in Europe.—U. F. A. (Calgary) Are we as a generation liypercrit- ical, unable to bring ourselves to be- lieve in the ability and integrity of others? Have we carried the process of thinking entirely for ourselves too-far. All the virtues of interest in public affairs, caution and so on may be exaggerated i0 the point where necasary trust is destroyed. It is something worth thinking over. If we no prone to mistrust rather than trust it were well to look for causes. Li; general mistrust justified or is it not? Either way, if we decide Government was asked to guaran- tee Russian bonds to a maximum of $4,000,000, no assurance or com- munication of any kind imd been Dflmiiliolvrcceived from the Soviet authorities.

BI SOUND When you read almost every day that heart disease carries off more people than my other one ailment. naturally your thoughts may tum to your own heart and you perhaps wonder whether or not it is sound and free from disease. Generally speaklnl. if you have been examined by your family phy- sician, or by an insurance enm- lner, and your heart pronounced sound, there is really nothing about which to worry. But you notice that your heart is sometimes very fast, omatimea very slow, sometimes a little irregular. sometimes you can hear it beating strongly within the chest. If the heart is sound why shouldn't it beat at tho some rate, and with the same regularity, oil the time? Your heart, which beats regularly at '12 or 76, may beat 120 or more times to the minute if you simply run upstairs. It may go up to the 120 beats to the minute if you are excited about something, Likewise your heart may be as slow es 60 beats lo the minute when you awake in the morning after a. night's rest. ' I frequently. examine boxers at I o'clock in the afternoon of the night of their scheduled bout and find. the heart at 58, 60, or 64. Why is the heart so slow? Because in endeavouring to get down lo weight by 2 o'clock they have done without any food or liquids from noon of the previous day. This will slow down the heart, lower the blood pressure, and also lower the temperature of the body. Sometimes you feel your pulse, or Put your hand on your chest over your heart and you detect a slight irregularity in the beat. Now an irregularity is not a nor- mai condition, but if you take a little exercise, such as skipping for 50 steps you'll likely find that the heart is beating a little more rapid- iy, with a. little stronger beat, and that the irregularity has entirely disappeared. - So if your doctor says your heart is sound and you sometimes have o. rapid pulse, a slow pulse, or a little irregularity, don‘t worry about it If however you get out of breath 0115115’. and flnd that your feet are swollen at times, it would be well to let your family physician again ex- amine your heart. that there is mistrust something should be done about it, However, it is not lightly to be assumed that there is less trust today than form- erly. .sZ:_____ cdZLQoi/r@_ KEW GARDENS Where Primrose bows to mlgiionettc, And crocus flirts with dew.

I may inform you that the British. North America Act settles the question of representa- tion in the senate for all ‘time. By it twenty-four senators were given and twenty-four to the Maritime Provinces. Four of the latter were given to the Island and will belong to the Island whether it remains a separate Provinces or unites with the two other Maritime Provinces. Union will not make these sections any less a. Maritime division entit- led to twenty-four Senators than when they were separate, and the Island as a distinct section of the Msritimes wil iiilwiiys hold its four Senators and so holding will also keep its right of having four Mem- bers in the Commons.
