WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9. f run PEOPLE rmsr, Ona cannot make an omelet without scrambling eggs, and one cannot reform the economic system 1h the interests of the basic produc- an and consumers without tred- ding on the toes of the big capital- ists. Hence, while there has been gmeral commendation of Premier Bennett's courageous stand on eco- nomic reform from the rank and file of the taxpayers, there has also been a sharp outcry from certain vested interests. Individuals and newspapers spon- soring such interests exist in every party. Rather it may be said that they pay lip-service to party prin- ciples so long as their own interests are not affected. A case in point is the Montreal Gazette, tradition- ally Conservative, but much more consistently the champion of the Taschereau Government, of St. James street and the money barons. ffhat these interests should be an- noyed and alarmed by Mr. Ben- nett's outspoken statements was to be expected. Indeed, their annoy- ance on. many occasions has found vent through the subsidized Tas- chercau press. It is one of the sur- cst signs of the confidence enter- tained in the Premier's sincerity, that his words should give concern 1n such quarters, More virulent than the Gazette in opposing economic reform is Mr. A. W. Roebuck, Attorney-General of Ontario, who professes to see Ln Mr. Bennett's programme “the iron heel of a Prussian martinet sticking through the hole in a second-hand Marxian sock." This mouth-filling phrase we wonder our local con- meaning and discipline. 1o rule such education out of our schools wouldbetoactbackthchandsof the clock, to say to all the world that our chief objective in life was a. materialism pure and simple. AID T0 MEAT EXPORT Canada's Weekly. Published in London, Eng, states that arrange- ments have been made for the construction in the port of London of a special vapor-tight chamber of 30,000 cubic feet capacity, for hand- ling Canadian chilled and frozen meat. The chamber is the result of experiments conducted by the Na- tional Research Council of Canada on the defrosting of frozen food- stuffs, and is operated by the Port of London Authority. It is designed to prevent the condensation of water-vapor from the outside at- mosphere upon the products after removal from the ships’ holds. Thus, one bugbear in the transportation of frozen and chilled products has been removed. It is explained by Canada's Weekly that quite recently the ser- ious effects of moisture from the atmosphere upon foodstuffs remov- ed from cold storage were exem- plified in certain shipments of chilled poultry to the British Isles when the average outside temper- ature at the port of arrival was 55 d08- Fahr. and the relative hum- conditions condensation pronounced and led to a study of the problem.

However it was found, particular- ly during the war, that just as a pump that leaks can still pump the necessary of water, so also can a. heart with a leaking valve fill-mp the necessary amount of blood. Thus to-day patients with a heart murmur, due to ~a 1 valve, are permitted to do a rea- sonable amount of work or exer- cise. " Patients with other forms of heart disease such as irregularity, extra beats, too rapid, have how- ever been warned to be "very care- ful" with the result that many have “lost their nerve" and are maid to make an effort of any d . Thus Dr. M. Cassldy in the Brit- ish Medical Journal says, "Most heart patients are treated with an excess of caution; they suffer ,with too much rest and restriction of activities. Prolonged rest is cer- tainly necessary in acute heart in- fections, especially rheumatism or diphtheria; nor should violent ex- ercise be permttted too soon after either tonsillitis or influenza." Dr, Cassidy suggests that the treatment of all cases where the individaul is very anxious about his condition may be summed up in one word-reassurance. 0f course reassurance cannot or should not be given until every means of examination has been used-X ray, electntardiogrgph, eg- facts of exercise, breath test with air in and with air breathed out of the lungs. After a complete examination of this kind the patient is naturally more inclindd to accept the "re- EBWIUIS" words p! the physician. Thus when the doctor says there is absolutely nothing wrong and tells the patient he can work or exercise as much as he likes there is noth- ing left to worry about, And even where there is organic heart disease the physician tries to take away any "fear" in the pat;- ient's mind by allowing him to take certain exercises or do some de- finite work. wncx rue worm) lS oven W119 will there be when the world _ is over, when her streams are frozen and numb, When (finders lie where is now the clover And the last of the birds is dumb: When the air stales and the a“, burdens And the four seasons die; Who will there be to tell of our gardens And the glint of our evening sky?

The one was dominated by the ubiquitous swastika. the other by a black cross on a white bwkflound, with the in- soription, “Christos ist dis Purhrcr, nicht Hitler." . . A change that cannot be easihi described has come over thsBsar during the past few weeks. The Deutsche Front reiterates that it comprises the whole population. less only two or three per cent. The right answer to this would seem to be that if the Nazis believed their claim to be valid they wmild not be forcing the pace of propaganda and social pressure. abusing the new Christian party. and complaining so loudly and insistently against Mr. Kno: and the Plebiscite Commis- sion. Care's impression, indeed, is that the Deutsche Front is on the defensive, and all the more so be- cause of the rapid‘ arrangements for sending in the international troops. The size and impressive neutralism of the new force make it difficult far the Nazis to go on saying that the discipline of the Dcutsche Front is the sole guarentee of keepln! order. There should be in any case the minimum of danger during January, provided Nazi activity can be kept within tolerable bounds. "Gennany is the Saar: German it was, is, and shall be!" This is the slogan sounding without end in the ears of the people through all the waves of the air. But the point is that the great word has almost nothing to do with the momentous issue of the hour. Of course the Saar is German, Gennan speech l8 everywhere. The social life is Ger- man. Tho people are undeniablfiy German (although. by the by, a. crowd of Saarlanders must be a desolating spectacle for Dr. Alfred Roaenburg and all other apostles of the Nordic idea, since the types are overwhelmingly dark and round- headed). Moreover, the administra- tion of the Saar under the league is German. There are 12,000 govern- ment. servants in the territory. 8nd 11,800 of them are German. The Bear is German and remains so however the voting may go. France is remote from the picture. 'I'he problem of the Saar is extraordin- arily complicated, but the Saar- landerb present duty is simplicity itself. The question to be decided is, whether the territory shall be joined at once to the Germany of Hitler, or whetherthe people of the Saar shall stay as they are. "MET the League of Nationibin the hope of joining a. different Germany when the present power has van- ished or been redeemed. One can- not help regretting that the oppo- sition to the Deutsche Front has to bear the uninspiring label of the Status Qua. It allows the Nazis to stigrnatize their Catholics and So- cialists as separatists, in defiance o1 the fact, hardly to be overbome even in this day of short political memories, that. until the advent of Hitler all parties in the Saar were at once, while the militant Catholics gave more trouble to the Governing Commission than any other section. It seems foolish to attempt a pre- diction as to the January poll. but» one thing is incontrovertible. ‘The Geneva Agreement, the understand- ing as to a. second plebiscite. and the forming of the international force have mado a Pmlimmi chwse in the public temper and have brought the greatest encourage- ment to supporters of the Status Que-that is. to all who, before the Geneva meeting, were being driven to face the prospect of a Nazi tri- umph. Let us, however, avoid the tempts.“ l to look upon the Saar as merely a. little district, of an unimportancc proper to an area smaller than the country of Surrey. Here beyond all question is the crucial point of the European sys- tem in 1035. The voting on January 19th Inn/y determine the future of our world.
