It implied that he was always in the right, that whoever ventured to oppose or criticise himl must be morally as well as politically reprehensible. The Hon] _W. M. Lca, since at- taining the Premiership, seems to labour uhder the same dangerous delusion. In his budget speech he, went so far as to hint darkly about “what they woulddo in the South- ern States" to an Opposition news- paper that had the temerity to offer such criticism as he, Premier Lea, had been subjected to. The Southern States, as our read- ers are aware, is a section notorious for the barbarous and inhuman practice of lynching negroes, without trial by jury or regard to the univer- sal precepts of justice and Chris- tianlty. Was it this shameful practice that Premier Lea referred to with ap- parent regret that it was unknown in this law abiding Province? Cer- tainly that was the inference he left; ma it. is one which we doubt ff even the lbcKaiser, at the height of his silly and blasphemous pretentious, could have thought of. That the leader of a Government of any province in Canada. or any country under the British flag would so far forget himself as to mention, with seeming approval, the murder- ous episodes of mob tyranny and in- justice that have blackened the re- cord of the Southern States will be heard with shame and astonishment by all classes of our citizens, irres- pective of politics. C t 9 t t i ./ Mr. Leo's Soviet '1‘ _‘_l.\ fiemier Lea (he really must ex- cuse the repeated reference but he is the only spokesman for his Gov- ernment, and it is unpariiamentary to refer to the officials) has so little appreciation of the importance of constitutional Govemment that he would willingly substitute a. Soviet dictatorship of three unrepresente- tive citizens to try and get him out of the deep hole into which his dependence on his officials has landed him. The Premier had a, safeguard which he cav- alierly cast to one side, viz, the External Auditors. According to the Government they could get along nicely without these independent outside sorutineers, their officials were good enough for them. Now, we presume, Premier Lea would give half his salary to have independent External Auditors to fall back upon. But provincial administration is too important a. matter ‘to be at the mercy of those whom experience alone teaches. DAY, APRIL 23, Stewart amid laughter and applause.

It was the objective of the Liberal organ and party to whitewash Mr. Lea and his colleagues in the Bell Govern- ment, under the cloak of the-Sana- torium campaign, that was affected by The Guardian's exposure.

To step on the accelerat- or instead of the brake when some- one raises an imperative hand from the side of the road may seem sel- fish, but most people will consider it justified by the hard facts of the situation and the unpleasant exper- iences of kind-hearted drivers. A case in point, is cited by the Ottawa Journal. One R. Bardwell, of Erin, Ontario, driving on the Brant- ford-Hamilton highway, was asked by a. woman for a. "lift." He acquies- ced, and shortly afterwards his oar collided with another and the pas- senger was injured. She sued Bard- well for damages, and n. judge has warded her $2,000. Her husbandyfn the same action collects $735 for loss of his wife's house-keeping ‘services. Editorial Notes A Government that is in the hands of its officials is like a. teacher ruled by her pupils-the only progress possible is toward chaos.

Barton. M.D THE l8 DAY DIET TEACHES US A LESSON You do not hear as much about the 18 day diet now as you did some time ago. You may remember that it. was published in practicailyevery newspaper and magazine. Just how much good it did for its followers or how much harm will never be known. Physicians will tell‘ you that they have known of cases where the results appeared to be satisfactory and no damage done to the system, and on the other hand there were many cases where tem- porary and even , permanent harm was done. What was the basis of this diet? Bulky foods such as lettuce, grape- fruit, oranges, celery, cucumbers, water cross, tomato, olives with eggs, lamb chops and steaks to supply the meat or protein requirements, dry toast for the starch, and tea and coffee to keep the body stimulated till the next meal. The whole idea was to supply a diet that was bulky enough in ap- pearance to satisfy the eye and yet be quite low v in heat units. The total number of heat units was not much more than half that of the or- dinary diet of most people. However there was another point that was not taken into consider- ation and that is that much of the raw foods eaten were only partly digested and used by the system. It ‘has been definitely shown that the waste from the intestine was two to three times the weight of the waste from the ordinary diet. As much as 25 to 40 per cent of the food value of the food eat/en still remained in the waste from the intestine. You can thus see that by eating bulky food, which "filled" the patient although there were not many heat units, and then remembering that a large percentage of these foods were not digested and absorbed into the system, the body did not. get suffic- ient food for its needs, hence the illness and collapse of many persons trying to live on the 18 day diet. However we can get a lesson from the 18 day diet that is worth learn- ing. That is that the foods on the list are all good foods and if eaten in large quantities over a more lengthy period, say five or six months, some good results might be Horrors the Censors Hide (Ottawa Journal) The world continues to hear much of Moscow's Five-Year Plan. Un- fortunately, and because of Moscow's iron censorship, it hears less of the foundation of misery and massacre upon which the Five-Year Plan is being reared. Only occasionally, and by accident, is the censorship pene- trated, when a glimpse is had of the ghastly inhumanities behind this Russian drive, of horrors which, in this twentieth century, areall but beyond belief. Such a. glimpse has just been given by a correspondefit of the Chicago Tribune. To Russia, not long ago, the Chic- ago Tribune sent one of its .most ex- perienced correspondents, Henry Wales. Unlike the Canadian Press representative, he was admitted to the soviet Republic, and mi- some weeks past tho Tribune has been Printing his dispatches.

'It would have been easy, perhaps politically expedient, to have told thisgdeputation that the Government would "consider" (bless- e_d word) their dempnds, that it was in "sympathy" with the deputat‘ Ins ideas, that their request would have the attention of the Cabinet. _ On the same day, Mr. Mackenzie King‘ received the_ same delegation and the newspaper report-says: Ofllcers of the league advocated a non-contributory system of in- surance and this plan, Mr. King promised, would be brought before the Liberal party at a- future cau- cus of the members. It was obvious the Liberal leader said, that impoverished men who were out of work, wei-‘e unable to contribute to an insurance scheme. At the same time "what should be necessary to meet the demands of an emergency and what would be in the best interests of the-coun- try in the long run, should be borne in mind.

Placetory words, the words of a politician, vote-catching dangerous words. ‘ . Mr. Bennett is different. The Prime Minister may sbmetimes. do the right things wrongly, may reach his goals by ways that seem unnecessar- ily abrupL-but it at least cannot be charged against him that he lacks courage, or sincerity, or a complete intellectual integrity.
