But does the Liberal record give any assurance that they could practice economy, even by starving tho public services of the Province? The answer is found in the Pub- lic Accounts. The record shows ‘that in four years the Saunders- lea Government increased the lia- bnities U $1,177,901 85 fllflinlii an increase under the preceding Con- servative Government o: $428,098.

SATUBDAI IUNI I last week. In approving mood the House pushed it rapidly toward final enactment by approving the entire Budget in, committee of ways ‘and means. Then Mr. Rhodes introduced bills to give effect to tarifl and other ‘ included in the Budget, which stand for aeo- ond reading. Tho ‘only criticism was a fcw complaints about tax duplication on gold rninu, which Mr. Rhodes promised to look into and correct any serious injustice which might appear. With many members talking of prorogation, it is of interest to tabuiatc ‘ which still has tobedisposedcfbefore flniscau bc written to the , ‘ session. In addition to the several mus buying bills now before the House and to come, there is still the radio commission legislation, creat- ion of the Canada Grain Board, and reports of the Housing, Rail- ways and British North America Act committees to be considered.

Premier Tilley of New Brunswick has followed the example of Pre- mier ‘llascheresu in establishing a settlers‘ colony for Now Bruns- wickeraThonowcoiony isltcbe established in Sudbury County, be- tween the Brood Road and Hoyt Station. Between 00 and ‘Iii settlers will be provided for, but they must have had previous wood and fann experience. In the change cf Prime Ministers in Great m-ltain it is largely a case of swapping one Macdcnald for another. Premier Stanley Bald- win's mother was s. Macdonald, daughter of Dr. George Macdcnaid, preacher and novelist. There were thressisters, one married m. Baldwin's father. one Rudyard Kiplingh father, and one a dud-ing- uished artist. They were reigning beauties of their day and their father claimed it was decause like Daniel, Bananiah, and Michael, they were brought up on "hard tack" instead of luxuries. ' Plans have been made for s. In- union in Toronto on July 2B, 21 and 2B of veterans who quelled the Northwest Rebellion in 1885. This expeditionary force, whose ranks have been sadly thinned during the half-century that has passed, brav- ed perils that scareel, are under- stood tcday. Then, they were ac- claim ‘ heroes; and they were. It was no light undertaking to face the risers of a northwest winter and do battle with the forces of Louis Riel and his Indian allies, Poundniaker and Big Bear. Every man of the force acquitted himself courageously; and now the sur- vivors want to get together again and talk of what happened at Fish Creek, Batoche, Cut Knife Hill, Duck Iialm, Battleforil, and so on. The report's)! Mr. Justice J. D. Hyndman fully bears out the rop- resenta“ of the legion for an investigation into unemployment among ex-zervice men. It has been enthusiastically received by the Isgion executive as _ ’ by Brigadier General AM: Roll. Dom- inion President. "In broad outline the report is very satisfactory." said General Ross. "In the first place ft almost imrcaorvodly accepts as established the facts upon which the Canadian Iagim based its request for the inquiry and which we submitted to the commis- aicn as inquiring remedial action. Next, it is Curious the ccmminicn was clearly oftho opinion that the Not By The Wu fir! President Booaeveil taken advantage cf the period of NRA op- eration to make tariff adjustments and develop trade, relations with the rest of the worm, had he not thrown a nkey wrench into the World Economic Conference, he vmuldbolnahappler, " t0- day. Having placed all his reliance on this narrow-gauged policy of " l reconstruction, withoutro- gard for the international situa- tion, he now has nothing upon which to lean. Donald V. Kimball. reported to be a mine owner, newspaper proprietor and land owner of Cleveland, Ohio, with s. five-figure income, is living in an unemployment hoswl near Drury Lane, Icndon, to learn the truth of the saying "No man need starve in England." In Cleveland he runs a club for unemployed Wutbs. which in has financed him- self. "I heard people in America say that England's unemployed said. “So I decided to come and investigate. Now I can say quite definitely that ‘down-and- outs‘ in Britain are looked after much better than anywhere else in the world." The U. S. Supreme Court has 0n NRA. two adverse and one fav- orable. With one judge dissenting, it was ruled that the legislature had improperly delegated author- ity tc the president to prevent fihlpment of illegally produced oil. A rail pension case involving New Deal principles but not an admin- istration measure was given against NZRIA by a flve-to-four vote. The previous big case concerned gold payments, and although the Judges allowed the validity o1 this meas- ure by a five-tc-four vote, they ruled that the government had no . right to abrogate a gold clause on its own bonds. Thus NRA has 10st iive and one-half cases out of six this year. . The Isle lord Melchcttonce lie-- clared: “If it had not been for two liingllsh ‘emists. young women would not have had the wonderful stockings they wear today." One of the two chemists was Mr. Cross; the other, B. Bevan. died in i922. Mr. Cross had no ides. of the boon to be conferred on women when he and his colleague invented the cellulose process for spinning arti- ficial silk over 40 years ago. The discovery was made while the two men were experimenting with bits of wood. A solution was found, which was poured into a. container withaholeinthebottomanda cycle pump was used to pull it out through the hole like a thread of cotton. A company was formed to develop the spinning of artificial silk. Eva hear of the "Protocols of Zion?" They are ,. ‘ bly the big- gest forgery in history. Blood is sputtered on every page. The " - tocols" purport to lay dcwnthe pr‘ clples o: aJewish plot to dom- inatc the world, secretly organised at a Jewish congress in 1897. The Osarists used the “Protocols? to in- flame the mobs against the Jews, and Hitler recommends a, study of them. The Swiss court at Berna decides that they are "r'-" ‘ nonsense."

Canadhns who arc not greatly interested in astronomy ‘will be surprised to learn that the neigh- borhood of ‘Iloronto is to have the largest telescope in the British Em- pire. and the second largest in the world. The Drmlap Observatory at Richmond Hill will occupy an im- portant place in the realm of as- tronomical investigation. Great Britain has no quarrel with the Reich. She has never in her long history harboured thoughts of revengefulness and animosity. Nothing can be further from her ideals than to oppress a former foo after an honorable struggle. As she proved at Vienna a century ago and in South Africa thirty-five years ago, her desire is for friendly relations with those who have once been her enemies. . . . A generous policy on Great Britain's part is capable of winning Germany's good will and securing Herr Hitler's influence on the side of peace.—- London Daily Mail. How different from the British confidence in courts is that obtain- ing in the United States is appar- ent from the despatches that rep- resent the president as considering an alternative to securing an amendment to the constitution in order to enable him to carry out measures he considers vital. This alternative is “a campaign of pub- lic education and agitation intended to find its reflection in a change in the court's philosophy." The very idea of considering that it is pos- sible for the highest court of the land I0 b6 ullisu’ Oillly WIOIIB II almost inconceivable to s Briton. That the constitution may not fill law was framed for "the days of the horse and buggy" is intelligible: but that a supreme court's "philos- ophy," that is _ expressed rmani- momiyhy nine judges. can possib- iy be chanied by ‘public education and agitati " is truly amazing.

Su- preme Court decisions has not yet been received. If one may judge from newspaper comments the National Industrial Recovery Act was held unconstitutional because by it Con- gress purported to delegate its legis- lative functions. The Farm Mort- gage Moratorium Act of the U. S. apparently was held invalid because it purported to impair the obligations of contracts. - Applying these decisions to the Canadian legislation "JIIEW." asks: "I-icwhbout Canadian reform legislation by which the federal Parliament has taken away the constitutional rights of the peo- ples l ,. ‘ and ‘ ’ them improperly upon various . Bureaus and Commis- sions?" The cases are not parallel. The 3w; Constitutions arc quite dissim- Tbe power of the Dominion Par- liament or- of a Provincial Legisla- ture (within their respective limits of subjects defined by the B.N.A. Act), to confide to a body of its cwu creation authority to make bylaws or resolutions as to subjects specified in the enactment and with the ob- ject of carrying the enactment into operation and eflect is supreme and has been so declared by the highest Court on many occasions. The Privy Council has declued: “It is obvious that such an auth- ority L. ancillary to legislation, and without it an attempt to provide for varying details and machinery to carry them out might become oppressive, or absolutely fail. . . . It was argued at the bar that a legislature committing important regulations to agents or delegates eflaces itself. That is not so. It retains its powers intact, and can, whenever it pleases, destroy the agency it has created and set up another, or take the matter direct- ly into its own hands. How far it shall seek the aid of subordinate agencies, and how long it shall continue them. ire matters for each legislature, and not for Courts of Law, to decide." “J.F.W.’s" suggestion, therefore, that because the Dominion Parlia- ment has appointed various "Boards, Bureaus and- Commissions” to carry out the provisions of the Natural Products Marketing Act, it has act- ed "imprope 2y‘ and unconstitution- ally, is not borne out by the auth- critics. ' The analogy which “JJ.W." claims to exist between the “Iihrm Mort- passed in the U. S. and the "Farmers Creditors Arrangement Act" passed by tho anadian Parliament also fails. The two Constitutions differ fundament- ally. Sectlon l0, Article l of the Ocu- stltuticn of the U. S. contains an express provision that no state shall pass a law impairing the obligations of a contract. There is no such vision in the aariaguiaiakfionaiiaitc ion. powers urea n Can- limitcd. let "JPN." ticnai a E e s E tion upon such legislation. Writing of the terrible panic cif 187, an American author, James Truslow Adams, gives the following graphic account: “In May, 1831, the banks sus- pended specie payment by several consent, and the panic was on. All the Western and Southern and some of the Northeastern, States had involved themselves m huge bond issues for improvements with no regard to their economic value. and the crash included public as well as private credit. Values melted. In North Carolina, farms could be sold for only 2 per cent of their supposed worth. In Mis- sissippi, slaves who had recently beenpurchased for twelve to fif- teen hundred dollars each were offered for two hundred dollars cash. It was said that in" bams. practically the entire pro- perty in the State changed hands, and that 50 per cent of all in the United States did so. Feeling against the banks. which would have been extremely virulent in any case, was rendered more so by a staggering list of defalcations by officers, which grew day by day. New York was like a dead city. Boats lay idle at the docks and all building operations ceased. It took two years for the full ef- fects to be felt in the West, and five before the nation began to recover. The rich saw fortunes swept away and the poor faced- absolute destltution. In New York. six thousand men working on buildings were discharged. Within five months from the suspension of payments, nine-tenths of all the factories in the Eastern States had closed, and fifty thousand em- ployees in the shoe trade in Mass- achusetts were idle. From a half to two-thirds of the an‘ 1n phi- chi-ks and ‘ “ were without work. At New Bedfcrd forty whale ships were laid up.
