The point has been made mlso that the purpose of this section can be “chieved by another section of the Criminal égCode. and therefore it is unnecessary; the ob- Qvious reply to this being that if it does no good fl does no harm.” . t The Globe concludes with the reflection: ._-‘_‘\\'hatever reasons may have been offered for repeal when there was some expectation of dis- armament and peace throughout the world, in- ‘eluding our own portion, it must be said that ‘they carry infinitely less weight today. If Europe blows up again Section 98 may be needed more than ever. Certainly it cannot be an offense to patriotic and law-abiding citizens. These are riot "the ones clamoring for its removal." . I All this is very true; but why bring it up how? Isn't The Globe aware of the fact that Pre- piier MacKisrgile KING and his followers, whom f supported so staunchly in the federal election "_ ontest last year, made repeal of Section 98 a pital campaign issue? They were the p¢r5on5 .~f‘clarnoring for its removal” and denouncing Premier BENNETT asa combination of HITLER, MIHSOLINI and SfALiN because he insisted on retaining Section 98 on the statutes. . This demagogic appeal to the lawless and unpatriotic elements of the country is part of the price which the Liberal party paid for its vic. ‘tory. The Globe will have to swallow this un\vel- come truth, and make the best of it. The time to have protested was when the issue was before the electors, It savours of arrant hypocrisy to fshed tears over it now. i U. S.

Point-ing out that upwards of $3,000,- 000 was required annually “just to carry the debt load," Premier DYSART suggested that if the debt were refunded on a three or three and one-half per cent. basis, there would be no difficult in balancing the budget “handsomely, wit out stinting, the services."

This is rather a serious situation, and apparently, the betterment in general conditions has not brought about any improvement, which a comparison with last year's report reveals. An- other unfavorable feature of the situation in the Province is that the Government and“ Municipal debts continue to mount, and budgets have not been balanced for several years. Generally speaking, we are looking forward to the pres- ent year with confidence, in the hope that the improvement which is general throughout Can- ada, will, with the increase in the prices for farm products, be reflected. in this Province." 5K 5K fi Our friend, Mr. M.

A “Prosperity Housing Association" has been formed at Otta- wa with a view to embarking on a vast house- building programme. The association's chief point of argument is that Britain is the most prosperous nation in the world today because of its great house-building programme, and “what Britain has done Canada can and must do.” It points olit that various governments are spend- ing $145,000,000 a year on the care of 1,000,000 jobless, and the governments-federal, provin- cial and municipal—are sinking further and fur- ther into debt at a rate of $6,ooo,ooo,ooo a year. 5K if i When a sacrifice had to be made under the KING Reciprocity Treaty, the Maritiines were made the goats, This is self-evident and admit- tcd by the Liberals themselvesin the bacon de- "bate.

Although epilepsy proper 1s not thoukht to bc tnherltcd, that nor- vous and emotional disturbances have been present 1n parents and grandparents of cplleptles has been definitely shown. However some physicians are of the oplnlon ‘that 1t 1s c aensltlvcn ,to foods and other substances handed down from parents to children that may be the cause of epilepsy 1n at least. a small number of eases. This 1a the oplnton of Dr. Jonathan Fbrmm 1n Arch- ives of Neurology and Psychiatry. _ Dr. Fbrman states that 1111s ty. of epilepsy can be told by three points: (1) a hlstory, either 1n the patient or his faintly, of hives. asthma or "head colds"; (2) an 1n- creased number of certain blood cells; (3) reactions to tests made on the skin by certain substances- food. hafr, pollen from plants. , Only ten cases of this type are reported by Dr. Fol-man but. 1t 1c interesting to see how the attacks of epilepsy stopped when the pct- 1nt avoldedtbe foods or other cub- stances to which he was sensitive. Thus one case was sensitive to choc- olate, eggs and cabbage and had no attacks when these were left out of his diet. Another was sensitive to potatoes, 11511 and mllk; another to wheat. rice, milk, eggs, peas and mustard; another to cabbage, toma- toes, and beans: anothe to corn- meal, mackerel, rlce, wheat, house- dust and goose feathers; another t0 dog dander, feathers, wheat, oats, and spinach; and another to beans, apples, peppermint, mackerel and milk. When these foods were avold- ed no attacks occurred. The treatment suggested 1n this type of case was to first avoid the substances causing the trouble, then to take tiny but increasing amounts until the body could handle those substances without an eplleptle st- tack occurring. Avoiding emotional disturbances is another part of the treatment. It must. be remain‘ ’ that the number of eases of the above kind of epilepsy 1s not large, and lo the treated by the method that; 1n- cludes .t.he four following rules: 1. Cut down on all starchy foods —-bresd, potatoes, sugar and pas.- es 2. Cut down on all Moulds-wat- cr. tea, coffee, soft. and hard drinks. 3. Increase the fat foods-cream, butter. fat meats. e88 yolks. 4.

Our argument 1s that Prlnce Edward Island should not be penalized and expected to set an example to the rector Canada. by cutting out all Government construetlon work and thus lntenclfylng our employment sltuctlon, whlle large publlc works programs are being fnltfcted 4n the other Provinces as “Emergency Un- dertcklngs", to deal wtth this very problem. The Canadian Press des- patches from Ottawa reodntly stated that the esttmctcs for these "Emer- gency Undertaklngs" would total twcnty-flvc million dollars. The Minister of Inbourjn the House of Commons lut. month stated that. the Government's first duty was tn give coherence and dlrectlon to the scattered forces of cconcudc recov- ery and was detcrmfned to enllst Industry and private citizens 1n dealing wlth the crucial problem of unemployment. ‘I'm Minister .of Labour. by that statement, sacks the co-cperctfon of industry and busi- ness men 1n an endeavour to 11nd employment, 1n justifiable prolectl. that would enable the Government _ wttll than: .1n c Sins and practiTi Jere, cmitrlbutlng to other parts oi to close up the Relief Camps and cease paying the dole, and says 1t 1s the duty of the cltlzcns of the vari- ous provlnces and comniunlttes to shoulder their sl-lcrc of the re-BPOH" slblllty wltli a vlcw to cutting out waste and u ravage-nee, that has prevailed for too 10118 111 1-110 11581- under both party Governments, and to such an extent that Wday we find the Oanadlmi National Rall- wcya alone wlth an 01111111118 1°" of over one and one-half mlllton dollars pa: week, and over one b11- Ilon dollars of c loss 1n the but sixteen years. our arflument 1s that 1f the Federal Government 1a aln- cerc, let. them deal W111i the Railway and other problems, such as placing a toll on the canals, whereas now, not only Canadian but. foreign vea- cels use these canals free of toll.
