Our contemporary contends that the two cases are not parallel, in- asmuch as the architect's fees for the new Prince Edward Island Hos- pital were $22,592. and the addition- al $7,493 was the cost of engineering and electrical plans. But the oill in both cases was for plans. More- over, our contemporary has‘ main- tained that the complete Palconwood plans provide for buildings of the value of a million dollars or up- wards. On this argument the arch- itect's fees, on a percentage basis. must have been considerably less than the fees paid for the Prince Edward Island Hospital plans. The fact is, of course, that in both cases it was necessary, after the or- iginal plans were drawn, to make changes because of present inability to finance the undertakings on a scale adequate to the requirements. The Opposition propaganda against the Falconwood plains is therefore Just as applicable to the Prince Edward Island Hospital plans. and would be as unfair and misleading in the one case as in the other. 'I‘hat was the point of the Premier's statement, and we submit it was a point well taken. Indeed, tho Opposition is on record as as- sociating the hospital trustees with the Government in their condemna- tion of alleged extr vagance in the matter of plans. We recall, for example, an. incident which took place during the budget debate in the legislature on March 28, 1933. The Opposition criticism at that time was directed to the Government for not employing a local architect, and Mr. Heath Strong pointed out that the Prince Edward Island Hospital trustees had found it advisable t0 enleke an architect from Ontario. What was the Opposition reply? It was given by Mr. B. W. IePage. His answer was: “TM! h"! "d!" heads too!" “swelled heads!" ‘rhis was the thanks. the trustees of the Prince Edward Island Hospital received in the legislature from an Qlilwfiii-ifill spokesman for their zeal and initia- tive in building an institution which is a credit to the Province. Is it sur- prising that the same abuse should be levelled at the Government for incurring similar expenditures .in connection with Fa‘ nwood Hospi- hl, when the attitude of the criiiu a still further warped by Political bias and prejudice? ‘rhefaotofthemstitensofaras jllgloonwood Hospital is concerned, is that the Maoldillan Government operated the instituti , rebuilt the lhst Wing and paid all the con- struction costs-including the ar- chitect's plans for a complete men- tal hospital system-end came out with a surplus over Liberal.

The House of Commons loves a lighter and s worker. and it paid unforgettable homllo to the loafer who gave unselfishly his abilities, his talents and his health to the service of his country. In acknowledging this remarkable ova- tion tbe Prime Minister sold: "mere are many things that nan forget. when I say to you, my follow-mem- bers of this House, that I shall never forget this moment, I but state the simple truth.’ The incid- ent is a memorable om in the his- tory of the Canadian Commons. It ennoblm politics. It places the House on a new elevation." CANADA'S FUTURE The Inndon Bltirrday Review quotes an English author, Mr. BaslPPuller, as predicting great things for Canada. "He goes so far." says the Review, "as to anticipate a time when the Dominion will be- come the economic centre or the British Empire, with the capital of that Empire automatically shifted to Ottawa. And further ‘than this, he thinks it quite withlnthe range of possiblities that Canada some day may begin "a peacefu annex- ation" of the United States. who “have 1m the sum ‘grip’ thatwas once their boast." “Such anticipations," says the Saturday Review, "may perhaps raise a smile. But apart fmm these particular predictions Mr. miller seems to have good ground for his beliefln Canada's future prosper- ity." EDITORIAL V NOTES 1t is definitely settled that Hon. H. H.

Per- sonally, I believe that the United States should not so refrain; and I fear, moreover, that it will be irn- possible to remain neutral to any war between Great Powers result- ing from a violation of the League covenant or of the Kellogg-Briand Pact. But so long as this country holds to the opposite view, it ls of immense importance that Ameri- cans who hope to keep out of war should be made to realize the burd- ens which they must probably as- sume, and the rights which tliey must probably yield, in any attempt to fulfill their hope. when removed from y0ur car." _ This then is why sleep is so valu- able; it mans no energy is be able of doing your work. he to find out why you don't sleep.
