I'D-DAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1035. Secret Bond Negotiation "Good wine," says an old adage, “needs no bush." Possibly the Lea Govenment considers Prince Edward Island bonds to be in the same category, and has changed its opinion regard- ing the necessity of publicity in the matter of bond issues since coming into power. Be this as it may, it is authoritatively reported that an issue of $500,000 Prince Edward Island bonds, three per cent, for a twelve year period, was sold privately some time ago to a Toronto-Mon- treal syndicate, the issue bearing date October l—just a few days after the three million dollar borrowing authority was obtained at the Sep- tember special session of the Legislature. It is undestood that no tenders were called locally, the issue being handled by a particular friend of the Government who dealt with the Toronto-Montreal syndicate direct. It will be recalled that at the last regular session of the Legislature Premier LEA was elo- quent in denouncing the alleged sale of bonds without tender by the Stewart Government. “Wh0," he demanded, “is receiving the profit on the sale of these ‘bonds? Not the investors of_Charlottetown; not the investors of Prince Edward Island, but the money-lenders of Tor- onto. This profit would have ‘been secured for the residents of this Island if the bonds had been negotiated by our brokers in Charlottetown as they should have been, or a chance given to them, at any rate, to bid on the loan." (In the case of the Conservative issue, the chance was given and no firm local bids were obtainable). Again, Hon. THANE A. CAMPBELL, accor- ding to the Palriot report of his speech in the House last spring, complained strongly that the Stewart Government had not called for tenders but “had entered intoa secret negotiation with g Toronto firm without giving the people of this Province a. chance.” i This criticism was repeated ad nauscam in the House and on political platforms through- out the Province. ‘ If there has been further bond borrowing to the tune of half a million dollars, and if it has been found advisable to deal direct with an out- side syndicate rather than follow the policy pro- claimed with so much emphasisby Premier LEA and his colleagues when in Opposition, it is surely time that an explanation was forthcoming. Mussolini Getting Desperate The cables published this ntorning indicate that Mussolini is surely realizing the desperate position he is in. As a well informed corres- pnndent describes it, he is a prisoner of the sit- uation he has created. He has sent a, huge army overseas with the avowed purpose of conquer- ing Ethiopia. He cannot now order it to return unless he can show the Italian people something for the money they have spent, for the scrifi- ces they have borne and for the lives that have been lost. Unless an offer is made, therefore, that comes near to satisfying Italy's minimum demands, it is certain he will not call off his war. And it is equally certain that the Italian people will support him even if it were neces- sary to run the risk of extremely serious Euro- pean complications. Public sentiment against the aanctionist countries is running so high that all impartial observers agree it is out of the ques- tion to expect Italy to capitulate without a fight at the present stage of things. It is hardly possible to speak at this mom- ent of Italian peace offers, for Italy has made no overtures, but is waiting to hear what Brit- ain and France have to propose. It is possible, however, to set down what the Italian position is; it has changed very little in the last months. Italy still thinks the conquered territories should be ceded to her to protect from rcprisals of the populations that submitted voluntarily; that the. non-Amharic part5 of Ethiopia should be placed under her control in one form or an- other and that the Amharic part should be placed under international supervision, in which Italy herself should have a prominent share. It- aly, moreover, still objects to the suggested ces- sion to Ethiopia of the port of Zedla in British Somaliland and proposes instead that special harbor facilities should be granted in the port of Assab in Eritrea. It is seen that substantially the Italian point of view has remained unaltered. There is rea- son to believe, however, that Italy would be wil- ling to compromise on the definition of the terri- tories that are to be considered to belong to the original Amharic nation and those that do not; on the nature of the control that is to be granted to Italy over the non-Amharic territories, and on the share Italy is to have in the supervision over the Amharic State, which is to be left intact, at least in appearance. It is felt in Rome that the suggestions briefly outlined here should provide an adequate basis for negotiation. Meanwhile, however, there is no evidence that Italy has any idea of giving up her plans to push forward her campaign in East Africa with all possible energy, It is felt that too much time has already been lost in proceeding on a system pf- peaceful penetrationirl the hope that it would impress the League and lnduoeit to revise its attitude toward Italy. ~ The put has shown how erroneous such calculations were and the hopes Mo: plwd. in the Prue!!! 4i .1<.>'.=1=ti¢ "semia- tiong may turn out to be equa ly groundless.

This pseudo angina occurs in ner- vous Individuals, particularly women. It may follow some infec- tion llke influenza. stomach or 1n. testlnal upset. or infection of teeth, tonsils, or gall bladder. It is thus thought to be due to general tired- ness or exhaustion, and of course l the heart muscle is also tired. i In these attacks of false angina | there is falntness, hands and feel; numb and cold. and palpitutlon of the heart. They are usually brought on by an emotional disturbance of some kind". “In hysterical women, with symp- , isms resembllnz angina. pectorls, the {patient throws herself violently about instead of presenting the lmore fixed and immovable attitude usually seen in true angina pectorts. These attacks are never fatal, and the pain is usually not severe. Dr. Bernard Fantus, Chicago, points out "the fact that the pain may occur when the patient is at rest. and that the patient may fre- quently undertake oonslderable ex- ertion without pain will often assist in recognizing this as false instead of true angina pectorls. Care should be taken however to make sure that it ls really false angina as a very mllk attack of true angina does not cause severe symptoms and if rest ls rliot given, a severe attack may fol- ow." The thought then ls that in true angina peetorls the patient will im- mediatelystop and hold or rest him- self ln the one position until the at- tack passes over, whereas in the false angina the patient does not usually do this.
