W 1:* ---- AN A STATESMAN’S SPEECH The enthusiasm created through- out the length and breadth of Can- ada by Premier Bennett’s initial ad- dress of Wednesday night, introduc- ing his economic reform Policy, will assuredly be heightened by his statements last evenuig. The policy on which the Prime Minister will appeal includes such provisions as contributory unemployment insur- ance, a remodeled old age pensions scheme, health, sickness and accid- ent insurance, amended income tax laws to correct inequality in wealth distribution, -minimum wage laws and maximum hours of work, as well as further legislation in the in- terests of farm producers. The pro- gramme outlined will be seen to em. brace vast and far-reaching leglsla. tive changes, all designed to stabil- ize the- recovery which Canada is making and speed up the wheels of progress and lndustry, with par- ticular reference to the protection and welfare of the basic producer. As _was to be expected, the par- tisan opposition press, backed by the “big interest-." which see no hope of profitable explei.;1Lioir under Mr. Bennetts propo.a.s, is working overtime to oiIsc'. tire effect of the Premiers statements. It contends, curiously, that this is a "death bed repentance.” The term used ap- plies fittingly to Mr. Mackenzie Kings volte face on the Ottawa agreements, but it does not apply to Premier Bennett. The Prime Min- ister has mode no volte face. He has stood`by his emergency policies, which admittedly have savofcdn- ada from economic ruin during the past few years. A few days ago the loBl Liberal press, perhaps inad- vertently, gave publicity to a state- ment of Mr. Roger Babson com- mending Canacls’s past year of "re- markable recovery and achieve- ment," and predicting still greater progress in 1935. Mr. Babson, our contemporary added, is a well known toonornist whose opinions are high- ly valued in financial circles. lt could have cited many other wit- nesses to the same effect, all testify- ing to the sincerity and success of Mr. Bennett’s emergency policies. Now that he has steered the ship of state into calmer waters, the Prime Minister is planning for the future - planning preventive measures , against another economic crash that may happen at any time unless such policies as he advises are adopted. Will the people heed and rally to his challenge? We believe they will. We believe that they, like Mr. Bab- son, are aware of the progress Can- ada is making under the Bennett emergency policies, and will stand lquarely behind the measures now proposed to make that progress per- manent. It will be for the Oppos'~ tion to decide where they will stand on this matter. Will they be for or against economic reform? Ome thing they cannot do. They cannot ltraddle the fence. They cannot face both ways, nor march in both directions at once as they have been doing on the Empire pacts question and the Marketing Act. Our farm- ers and citizens generally will in- sist that when they speak, they speak plainly. The Prime Minister is laying all his cards on the table,- and the sincerity of his opponents will be judged by the same token. So far as the public is concemed, the questions at issue in Mr. Ben- nett’s appeal are of first and final lmportance. U. S. A. RECOVERY Our neighbour to the South is not makin; tire pxcgress toward economic recovery which was arfcntiy hoped for; indrnd, her rrsgrcss in that direction is much l :s than that of mist other count- rlcs and .away far behind that of Caiizda. Our authority for this is the New England Letter of the First National Bunk of Boston. The issue of December 28th, in a review of general conditions. has the follow- ing: ' "lt has been pointed out that there are two facto s, concentration of population in the cities and growing rigidity of the economic system, that make our recovery from this depression more difficult than in earlier periods. These feat- ures are not peculiar to the United Stews but are even more charartzr- istfu of the much older countries in Europe. Nevertheless, we find that recovery sbroid has in general been more -rapid than in 'this cormtry as is shown by the follow- ing Mlmlltionz Au¢u'st.'1w4 'at A vpoe ; eoniparodwlth from lqw ‘ monllily s.v~rI|'s point to. 51 .2 31,5 414 100.5 , , A nn UM even greater enthusiasm during the 4 _ P0la.ud 82.0 33.3 United Skid 65.8 25.8 “According to these figures com- piled by the Uruguo of Nations, pro- gress toward recovery in the Unit- ed States has been at a. much slower pace than in mom of the other countries despite the fact that the increase in the amount of our national debt since 1930 is ap- proximately twice as much as all of the above countries combined, while the number of unemployed in this country is as great as the aggregate for the principal commercial ootuit- rles of the world. Is it not time to pause and reflect upon the efficacy of the huge governmental spending program in view of these striking llilureb? “A combination of factors un- doubtedly accounts for the better showing of the foreign countries but with virtually no exception they have either balanced their budgets or are making determined efforts to do so, and Ln none of them does the busirrss community suffer from threatened govemmental interven- tion in private enterprise." WEEK OF PRAYER Arrangements have been com- pleted for the observance' of the Universal Week of Prayer in Char- lottetown. The programme will be found elsewhere in this issue. The topics for consideration are timely and the speakers have been select- ed from the ministry of the city and neighbouring district ehurehesl The primary purpose of the meet-' ings is that the people of the city, in common with Christians the world over. may gather together for fellowship and prayer. This is a time when God's people should wait before Him in reverence and hum- ility. Momentous issues face the world, nationally and internation- ally, and the guidance and wisdom of God is needed. The interest and attendance of the citizens mt these annual services have been most STB*/lfyilis during the past few years, and it is hoped that there may be united week of prayer which begins on Monday evening. EDITORIAL NOTES Tomorrow, Old Christmas Day, is supposed to end the festivities. rr the pride or potatoes 'could be "pegged" as can the price of wheat it would be a blessed relief. The audited statement 01 the Guardian Santa Pal Fund appears elsewhere in this issue. Premier 1Bennett‘s second address on the economic situation will be read with undlminshed interest, ap- preciation and admiration-it is like the sudden glow of s. search light in surrounding darkness. The question has yet to bo set- tled whether the various Provincial elections or the Federal election will come first. A great deal will depend upon the attitude of the op- position at Ottawa-if it obstructs supply the Dominion will probably so to the oountry first. The 1934 value of Ca.na\ia‘s gold Output at $102,242,000 established a new high record in the value of production in this country for the llth successive occasion. In 1933, the output value was $84,350,337, The 1934 output in fine ounces tot- alled 2,964.395, a slight increase over 1033. To the hundreds of thousands of shareholders, the majority of them resident in Canada, the gold industry disbursed°°ln 1934 roundly $33,000,000 in dividends. This com- pares with the 1033 disbursements of $23,428,000. Coneem is expressed at the steadily mounting European egmjn. nntal population of Montreal.

Congress is waiting details of President R.oosevelt's Newest Deal, and meanwhile the Republi- cans have stolen a march upon him by publishing a 20 point programme of their own. 'rho Presidents 'pro- posal, if it materlallzes in the form submitted to him by the Natl hal Resources Board, is to authorize a plan of. public works surprssing in daring anything that has hitherto been contemplated, justifying his scheme on the assumption that the defect of the programme up to now has been that the expenditure has not been big enough. It would commit the mntral Executive to the undertaking of colossal public works involving an expenditure of about $5,000,000,000 a year. and out- linvl s theory of paper nnmoe by which boom periods would pay for the deficits of depressions.” The acceptance or rejection of the scheme depends, of course, not only on Hr.

OONVULSION ' OR SPASM One of my early recollections is that of watching my young brother in his high chair and noticing that his eyes were rolled upwards and his body stil! and Jerking. My mother apparently noticed it at the some time and within a few seconds the youngster was stripped of his clothing and was being held in hot water in his little bathtub. It seemed only seconds again before his body relaxed and his eyes were bade to normal. I have never for- gotten this llttle drama. It may be that some one in your home may take one of these “con- vursions" and it would be well to know just what to do. Dr. Josephine M. Kenyon in her book ‘Healthy Babies are Happy Babies’ saysz- “In a convulsion your aim is two- fold--to relax the muscle twitch- ings and to prevent the child from hurting himself. In a convulsion there ls a stiiiening of the body, the eyes roll upwards, the feet and hands may be clenched or jerk ir- regularly and there is always a loss of consciousness.” “Put the child on a. soft surface where he cannot .fall off. Do not let the head or arms hit the walls or sides oi the bed. If the teeth are clenched and the tongue within the mouth, nothing need be done, but if the jaws are working it will be safer to slip a folded end of a towel or clean handkerchief between the chi1d's teeth so that thc tongue will not be bitten. Do not use a small object or he may swallow it or choke." ’ "Prepare a. warm bath and put your elbow in it to test its warmth -it should feel only comfortably warm. Slip ofl’ the child’s garments and immerse him ln the tub, hold- ing him carefully. Ieave him in the bath not over five minutes, then wrap him in a dry bath towel and warm blanket and put him down to rest. The bath towel will absorb the water and when it is damp slip it out and leave him wrapped in the blanket. Keep him warm and let him sleep as long as he wilL" I believe that these simple direc- tions which anyone can follow should prevent mothers and others from doing unwise things in their anxiety to do something in a hurry to relieve the convulsion or, spasm. od3l@o1/nm.

(St. John Telegraph-Journal) A recent despatch from Charlotte- town recalls the memory of a. younil Irishman wir: came to Nova Scotia as a poor boy. removed later to Prince Edward Lsluid, made I Brest career for himself in journalism and public life, and .helped to fisht and win tim battle for responsible govemment. He advocated confed- eration and wrote the story of th¢ efforts prior to iw: to ai-ins about that result. He was a deleBl1l»¢ W the .Quebec and other conferences but died in 1867 before his own PN' vines entered the union. He WH then only forty-three years old. The man was Edward Whelan, whose book, “The Union of the Bri- tish Provinces." rePl'1!W¢d 1° 1921 with a notable introduction by Prof. D. C. Harvey of the University of Manitoba, should be in every Can- adian librB-YY. The news despatch from Char- lottetown of recent date said that the Benevolent Irish Society, of which Hon. Edward Whelim WB-S 5 past-president, had erected in the old Catholic Cemetery a monument over his grave. If the present tri- bute is tardy the memorial will be one visitors will wish to see because of the part Hon. Edward Whelan played in the making of Canada. Born in Ireland Mr. Whelan came to Halifax when he was about twelve years old. He was befriended by I-lon. Joseph Howe, who taught him the art of printing and encouraged him to store his mind with master- pieces of literature. He also prac- tised public speaking. When the reformers in Prince Edward Island were seeking a journalist to present their ease against the Family Com- pact, they consulted Joseph Howe. and on his recommendation Whelan was engaged and went to Charlotte- mwn and began publication of B newspaper called The Palladium. whose motto was: “The Liberty 0! the Press is the Palladium of the civn, roiitieu and Religious Rlshts of a Briton." Whelan was instantly in the thick of a fierce controversy- After two years his newspaper through lack of funds. ceased Dilb- lication but in the next year he be- came editor of The Mornlnz News. which had been won over to thc cause of responsible government. Whelan was then but twenty-l*W° years of age, and in the same year he was elected a member of the legislative assembly. The brillllml young Irishman had begun to climb the ladder of success. Within a year he had started a paper of his own. The Examiner, and for the l1€Xl7 four years both in his P81101' U-“<1 1° the legislature, where his omtory was very effective, he fought for responsible government, free land and free speech In 1861 responsible government was won and Whelan became a member of tho 8°V¢l'l\' ment. For nearly twenty years he repre- sented the same constituency. He was defeated fa iam. owiuz io the anti-confederate feeling that pre- vailed, and in December of that year he died. He had, however, oompleted his book on the union of the British provinces, telling the story and quot- ing speeches delivered at the Char- lottetown Conference, at Halifax, Saint John, Quebec, Montreal. Ot- tawm Toronto, Hamilton and Bt. Catherines and setting forth the Quebec Resolutions. That book, to the student of Canadian history, is invaluable. Whatever the people of Prince Ed- ward Island, who hesitated long be- bore they entered confederation, may think of the wisdom of their final action, they can only honor the young man who so stoutiy up- held the cause of responsible gov- ernment. This trlbute to him was written by an impartial witness, Prof. Harvey of Manitoba Univer- sity: “Throughout his active career, as journalist and statesman, Whelan fought the battle of responsible govemment, free land, free speech, a free press and ~free education Though he said bitter things he was not vindiotive; though he cham- pioned the cause of the poor and the oppressed, he was not a dema- gogue; though he represented a Ca- tholic district he piloted his fellow Catholics through the bitter religi- ous oontroversles of the period with tact and moderation, retaining the respect of Catholic and Protestant allre; and it was the deepest grief of his latter days that his attitude on confederation destroyed the old political alliances and the former religious harmony. Under this cloud he died." ' Canada’s Gold Production In a. statement issued by Hon. W.A. Gordon, Federal Minister of Mines, it is shovm that in 1934 the value of Canadafs Sold output was $102,242,000, which establish- ed a new high record in the value* or production in the Dominion for the eleventh successive occasion. In 1933 the output value was $84,- 350,237. This year’s output in fine ounces totalled 2.984.395, a slight 'ncre over 1033 To the hun- . use . .dreds of thousands of sharehold- ers, the majority of them resident in Canada. te gold industry dis- bursed in 1934 rolmdly $33,000,000 in dividends, the Minister states. This compares with the 1933 dis- bursements of The development of the Domin- ion's gold resourcds in 1034 had given greater work to the Mines Department- than in any year since the department was estab- lished, Hon. Mir. Gordon declared. _ if This column fe non for the .lioouolvl _hy mrrosnadenta A questions of Interest. The Charlottetown Guardian dau lu nncuuily ndpru the orll\°l° o¢ ltrrnlbiudelta. MARKETING Bir,1-I was pained and surprised at your attitude on this fake mar- keting scheme. This is not a scheme of the producers as contemplated oy the Act. The producers were not consulted or even thought of. Some middlemen and officials of the Po- tato Growers' Association were called upon to decide what in future we must do. By what authority they went to Upper Canada binding us to such proposals I do not know. The Potato Growers' Association was never a co-operative, but a Nazi organization with dictators at the head. They “purged” all who dared. question their omniscience. The dealers recognized in the Act are the brokers in all our large cen- tres who are an integral ,part of our system of distribution. 'I’he self- styled dealers in our province are only middle-men-possibly non-es- sential. Their profit/eering and in- competence, and duplication have brought us to this impasse. Are they to draw up this scheme for their victims? This scheme would prevent the very benefits contem- plated by the Act, vit: The elimin- ation of parasites. the curbing of profits and the return to the pro- ducer of what he has not been get- ting heretofore, the maximum amount of the consumers dollar. But most important of all, any scheme must be administered by the producers. They must have - the controlling voice, otherwise it could mean nothing. I am, Sir, etc., PAUL MCLAUGHLIN. Peake's Station. (Our correspondent’s complaint with regard to the Potato Growers' Association is irrelevant. The place for such discussion is at the annual meeting of the Association, where our correspondent, if he is a mem- ber, has a right to air his grievan- ces. What in the Marketing Boheme had to be considered was the fact that the Association represents the only organized body of producers in this Province, and that it handles a large proportion of both the Ls- la.nd’s seed and table stock. That is the reason the Association is repre- sented on the proposed potato mar- ketingboard, and why its represen- tation received practically unanim- ous indorsation, even from those who have opposed the scheme on other grounds.-Ed. G.) Poets On Winter (Exchange) Winter has its joys for those who are robust enough for skating, skiing, hockey or even the more leisurely pastime of curling. But for the more indolent and comfort- loving there is also a certain pleas- une'in watching the storm beating against the windows, or forming "the North wind’s masonry," and "the f;ollc architecture of the snow." Emerson describes it vividly: Announced by all the trumpets of the sky Arrives the snow, and driving o'er the fields Seems nowhere to alight; the whit-, ed air , Hides hills and woods, the river and the heaven And veils the farmhouse at the garden's end, The sled and traveller stopped, the courier‘s feet Delayed, all friends shut out, the housemates sit Around the radiant fire-place en- closed In a. tumultuous privacy of storm. Whittier enlarges on the same theme in the widely known "Snow- Bound" which bears reading again on such a day: Shut in from all the world without, We sat the clean-winged hearth about, Content to let the North wind roar Tn baffled rage at pane and door While the 'red logs before us beat The rrost line back with tropio heat In like spirit Gowper sang of the joys of the tea table on a winter evening, the bubbling and loud hiss- ing urn and the cups that cheer but do not inebriate, which he con- trasted with the discomfort of the crowded theatre. The shy and gen- tle recluse was 'perhaps unfairly prejudiced against cities, which he regarded as hot-bed: of temptation, holding the belief that a life of rc- tirement is more favorable to virtue than a life of action.
