Il-II on v to Oeuln and United TUIIDAY, IAIOI IO, D80 Mussolini’: Opportunity l One country which is likely to be well ‘pleased with Germany's armed occupation of the Rhineland is Italy. For one thing, the violation of the Locarno treaty has created a new issue to engage the attention of the League of Nations, one in which the League powers will naturally desire the assistance and co-operation of Italy. The price of that support is likely to have direct connection with ltaly's consolidationof her gains in the Ethiopian conflict. Had League pressure upon Italy been exerted in time, and ef- fective sanctions imposed before MUssoLINI was able to put his threatened invasion into effect, it is doubtful if Germany would have had the temerity to act as she has done in remilitarizing the Rhine area. For failure to achieve this result, France must be held in large measure-respons- v ible. Now it has beconle a. question not of stop- ' ,pil'lg Italian aggression, but of making the ‘ v aggressor disgorge what he has gained after months of fighting-—-a nluch more difficult problem. l/Vith the crisis which has developed by reason of Germany’s move across the Rhine, it is highly improbable that Mussouru will fail to play the trump cards in his hand, and insist on recognition of his claims in Africa\ as the price of Italy's support of any action calculated to strengthen the League's hands in dealing with Germany. What A Treaty! Some of the glaring inequalities in the Washington treaty which the KING Government now asks Parliament to indorse were brought forcefully to the attention of the House of Coin- mons last week by Hon. W. E_ Rowe, of Dilli- erin, Ontario. “We are told," said Mr. Rows, “that under ‘this agreement we can ship our cattle t0 the United States at a reduced rate, from three to two cents. It is true that we, can send our cattle over there in limited numbers, but we can ship only half as many cattle over there and pay a " ‘duty of two cents a pound, as we shipped in 1921 free of duty. Then, under this agreement we say to the United States: We will take from ~ --you your processed hogs, your bacon, shoulders " and hams processed by American labour, and we will give you a reduction of 3%; cents a pound and let you ship in as many as you like. “lhile we are shipping‘ out of our ‘front door our finest bacon to the United Kingdom market, we give the United States an advantage of 3‘/1_cents a- poulid to ship in American bacon through our iback door. 1t is true that we get a cent reduc- tion in the tariff when we ship our lambs and sheep, live weight, to the United States in certain years, but we give thcnl two cents a pound re- ductioli when they process the carcasses and ship the meat back to this country. They will not ac- cept our carcasses. They will take the hides off our cattle and finish ‘them into leather goods. but - if we take the hides off our cattle in Canada wc have to pay a duty of 12% per cent when we ship the hides ilito the United States. We reduce the duty when they ship them back to Canada in the form of leather goods, alkl on our leather goods going illto the United States we have to ' pay a duty of fifty per cent. as before the agree- merit. b ' “I ‘should like to ask hon. members who represent rural ridings to remind their constitu- ents that under this agreement they are not sc- curing a free market for the export of their sur- plus products. You can ship your eggs to the nited States if you still pay a duty of ten cents u dozen while we let American eggs come in here with a. duty of a nickel a dozen. You can send your oats over there and pay sixteen cents. but the United States farmer, when he has a bump- er crop, can ship his surplus oats over here at a duty of nine cents. You can ship your wheat to the United States and pay a duty of forty-two cents, while United States wheat coming in here pays a duty of only twelve cents. You can ship your flour to the United States and pay a duty of $1.04 a barrel, while on United 5tat¢5 50111‘ entering Canada you pay fifty cents a barrel. ,You can ship your hay to the United States pro- vided you pay a duty of $5 a tgg, but when we ‘t let their hay enter Canada it pays a duty of only $1.75 a tori. You can ship your potatoes to the United States and pay a duty of seventy-five cents a bag, but when they have a bumper crop they can ship their potatoes into this country free of duty. I want the farmer members of this house to realize that while their farmer consti- tuents are selling their barley today for less than cost of production they still have to pay a duty of twenty_cents a bushel to get it into the United States. . . . ‘ “We are told that under this agreement we can send our fruit and ‘vegetables within certain limited seasons into the United States free of lduty, iare vital to employment in this Dominion, and if the tariff is not raised to save the fruit and vege- to think what may hap- ltable growers I shudder -- , and surely tics about it even with.

It has been thought of as a. body builder for hundreds of years.

About twen- ty years ago one school of thought maintained that rtekets was due to lack cf sunshine and another school believed rickets was due to a lack of ii. certaln principle or substance tn the food, later. known as vitamin D. As events turned out both were right, in that 1f certain foods are treated. by ultra violet rays they are able to prevent r1llkets._In fact. 1t was found that 1f "rickety" animals were “lrradlated" with ultraviolet light or sunlight u. certafn amount of healing occurs. Another forward step was mode when fatty substances were irrad- iated to increase their power of pre- venting rlckets and building strong bones. To-day the vitamin D, which mmkes cod llver oll so valuable, can now be obtained 1n definite form 1n preparations directly under the con- trol of Prof. Steenbock, University of Wisconsin.

Bnowdcn, '10 years of age, for several years member of the British Parliament bud twlee Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, la eminent- ly qualified to express an opinion on l. w matters. He knows the worklng class, he 1s a thorough student of political scl- ence and. he has made an earnest attempt to 11nd the facts and "grasp the , underlying principles of the drink problem. Always a man of high idea-ls before the public he can speak with authority on matters that- affect the public welfare, phy- sical, mental and moral. At the beginning of his Purita- meutary career, he declared his purpose. "I wlsb to see the adven- turous aons of England go forth to win, by love and example all the victories of peace which are more renowned than war - the poverty, ignorance and suflerlng all around me are most painful tonne, and my bulbftfon is that I may have an cp- portunlty of talking a. humble part 1n bringing more joy, more refine- ment, into the lives of the common people." A life-long abstalner, he banished lntoxfcanta from his table and from r his home and he defended his prln- ciples, often 1n circles where they were not well received. "Every man," he said before the United Klngdom Alliance, who realizes the ravages of the drink traffic, must recognize that it 1s not the drinikarda, but the moderate drinkers who make the profits of the trade. By his patronage the moderate drinker is helping to maintain the traffic, and he 1s help.- lng to keep fastened upon the po- litical and social life of the country this curse that 1s gnawing at the vltaks of the nation“ The moderate drinker has a heavy responsibility. It ls these considerations that long ago induced me to become a strfct teetotaller." To the working man he told his duty 1n plain words.

In the struggle for better conditions, the worker must be protected against the baneful, deteriorating effects of the drink traffic whlch wastes their meagre means and ell- feebles their minds and bodies. Speaking at a function 1n 1026 he 1s thus reported, "I have been amazed during this period of un- paralleled trade depression, that amid all the talk of the need of na- tlonnl economy. so little has been said of the greatest of all national waste, the expenditure upon Intox- lcutfng liquors.

The Rabbit Hunter also claims foxmen feed trout to foxes. I've heard of many kinds of food, fed to foxes _from bread to beef, but must say of all the foxmen I ever knew, I never heard of any feeding trout. Most foxmen would be glad to get a feed of trout for their fum- flles and themselves now and again instead of feedtns them to foxes.
