For months before 1h: last election the lien- nelt (iovernnieiit “'11s denounced by Liberal spokesmen for giving sufficient tariff protec- tion to employ Czinailizifi instead of United States farm 1llZ1ClllllC1'_\‘ ivorkmcn. ln return for this benefit to industrial Czinzulizm centres, Premier Ilcnnctt ohiainetl zissiiraiicc from the manufacturers that they would not increase their prices. Our coiitenijiorary sziys there was “no agreement" but the fact speaks for itsclf, name- ly that prices under the Bennett regime were not only not increased but substantially lowered in many cases. It was not until Mr. Ifing came back to power and tinkered with the tariff that machinery prices went up. They went up in 1936, and again in 1937, and yet again in 1938. Why? It is up to the King Government to find the answer to that question. They offered the elec- tors a panacea that was going to reduce cost prices and it has had the opposite effect. That fact is beyonddispiite, and it is the only one that matters so far as our farmers are con- cerned. The Dying League In reviewing Mr. Clarence H. Streit's new book, "Union Nmv,” advocating thatthe demo- cracies bordering the Atlantic Ocean on both sides form a federal iniion to maintain world peace the Marquess of Lothian says: “Mr. Streit, (who has represented the New York Times at Geneva for many years) I believe, has given all those who had faith in the League the principle on _which alone their ideal can be rea- lized.” - _ _ “The anarchy of sovereignties, is driving every country into a form of State Socialism which has as its practical objective not the bet- tering of the conditions of the people but the generation of more and more State power and the ever greater militarization of the peoples." Communism and fascism, undesirable as they are, at: least offer some kind of an answer to this problem, said Lord Lothian, adding: “If democracy is to survive, the democracies must produce their own remedy for anarchy." Mr. Streit, “sitting by the bedside of the dying League” had realized it could never carry out its work as long as it was based on the sovereignty of individual nations. declares Lord Lothian, remarking that this conclusion was similar to the decision by George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and other American lead- ers to substitute a federal union for the looser “league? under the Articles of Confederation. Lord Lothian says Mr. Streit has “grappled fearlessly with the issue of sovereignity" and endorses his presentation of trade and other benefits that would result from a union of the democracies. But he urged the real value of "Union Now” not so much for this particular plan as for “its profound philosophy,” since “the basic problem of today is whether the prin- ciples of the right of man, from which all mod- ern democratic civilization has been developed, are to be destroyed by putting ahead of them the sovereign rights of a national, racial or class State." Scientifically, Considered “lVhat a piece of work is man!" says Ham- let. Perhaps it is fitting that in this scientific age the miracle of Man should be defined in me- chanical terms, if only for the purpose of slicw- ing how little the most detailed analysis helps to an understanding of the mystery. lp a recent book, “Nine Chains to the Moon." an extraord- inary effort is made by the author, R. Buck- minstcr Fuller, to achieve the rcdurfio ad absurdmn in definitions. He says: “Mari is: a self-balancing twenty-eight-joiiited adapter-base biped. An electro-chemical reduc- ‘tion plant, integral with segregated stowages of special energy extracts in storage batteries. for subsequent actuation of thousands of hydraulic and ,pneumatic pump-s, with motors attached. Sixty-two thousand miles of capillar- ies; millions of ivarning signal, railroad and" conveyor systems; crushcrs and cranes . . . Ind a universally distributed telephone system needing no service for seventy years if well managed. "The whole mechanism guided with exquisite precision from_ a turret iii which are located telescopic and ‘microscopic self-registering and recording range finders, a spectroscope, e1 oetera, the turret control being closely allied with an air-conditioning intake-and-exhaust, and a main fuel intake. "Within the few cubic inches housing the tur- m mechanisms, there is room, also, for two loundwuve and soimd-directioiz-finder record- ing dlaphragms, a filing and instant reference , system, and an expertly devised analytical lab- oratory large enough not only to contain min- ltté records of every last and continual event of flpto 70 years‘ experience . . . . but to extend. ly computation an»! abstract fabrication. this Ympgrfence _ with relative accuracy lino all comm of the observed universe, j‘- - i is also a ‘forecasting and tactical plot- _ gdepupgiienc for the redtictibn of future pos- WWW<W.M="."Y "us" us. nu: cnsnuorrlirown ‘GUARDIAN ful specific choice." After that, it's salutary to reflect on the less ,scientific but more important discovery of Job, that this mechanical marvel “is of few da s and full of trouble; he cometh fourth like a lower, and is cur down; he fleeth as a shadow and con- tinueth not." Lack Of Lepdership " The month of January again saw a consider- able drop in employment in Canada" the Fed- eral Bureau of Statistics reporting a decrease of 15,623 persons employed at February 1 from January 1. Since February 1, 1938, the reduction has been 25,916, which shows that it cannot be attributed to purely seasonal conditions. It was spread throughout the Dominion, with the ex- ception of the province of Ontario, whose slight increase at February I over January 1 was. however, far below the figures for February 1 of last year. In other words, the problem of un- employment has obviously not been solved; and what is more, there is no indication that a solution is even being sought. A correspondent in a letter to the Montreal Gazette pointed out that “the mistake was not to use emergency mea- sures to meet emergency conditions, but to allow the emergency measures to become fixed habits. Relief in the panic of 11110 was inevitable. Re- lief going over a decade is simply the establish- ment of a lasting system under which a large percentage of our people are paid for not work- ing. ' A great many _\'011ll_L' men and young women have reached maturity in the past fen years without any experience of working for their daily bread, with fixed habits of idleness inak- ing it more difficult each day for them to oh- tain work or to perform that work when they are confronted with it_ The future of this Dom- inion is being very seriously jeopardized because its Government has failed to show leadership in ever faced. 1' Editorial Notes 1 Sir Stanley Maude entered Bagdad this date, 1917. s m u lVe are getting a taste of our usual January weather in March. v w Farmers now realize just how much more they have to pay for their implements and ma- chinery through having the luxury of a Liberal Government at Ottawa. v v a According to Licut.

The previous articles have been greatly appreciated, and Mr. Hamming has received hundreds oflettcrs com-l mending his public spirit and vision. As he in- dicates in his final article it is for us ourselves, business men, agriciiltiirists and fishermen, to keep steadily urging the powers-that-be at Ot- tawa until our improved harbour becomes an ac- complished fact, ‘t Matters have reached a pretty pass when lawyers turn communist —they being the last class on earth to think of sharing everything in common. Yet Judge Michael A. Musmanno of Common Pleas Court, Pittsburg, intimates that he had resigned from the National Lawyers Guild, described by Justice Ferdinand Pecora of the New York Supreme Court as influenced by Communists. Judge Musmanno said he had never taken part in the guild's activities, and de- clined to be associated with holding such views. - a n- a Over the border they are claiming that their Presidential College of Electorsis modelled after the college of Cardinals. Ifthatbe so it has long since discarded its model, for it never meets though the textbooks and dictionaries sa that Electoral College means the Presidential’ elec- tors in every State, “who do meet in their sev- eral capitals for the fromality of casting the State's vote." But iii popular use the Electoral College is the total of 531 electoral votes of which the Democrats only need the. Solid South, New York and California, and the Re- pubiicians already have. 22f in the bag. so they think, etc. Some time in midwintcr every four" years the two houses of Congress meet in joint session and the Speaker counts the votes from the forty-eight States and announces to a more or less breathless nation the man who was elect- ed President last November. o n 4- r A new extract from the pituitary gland is being tried out in Montreal as a weight-reducing medicine. No reports in terms of pounds lost per week are yet available. The editor of The Canadian Medical Association Journal, how- ever, says the tests of the new gland extract “give promise of great advance in the difficult problem of weight-reduction.” The extract, known as No. 622, was obtained rom pituitary glands of animals by Drs. J. B. Collip and D. . O'Donovan at McGiIl University. They found that when given to animals this extract-increas- ed the heat production andencrgy expenditure of the animals’ bodies. It did this, apparently, at the expense of fat. In tests of the new gland ex- tract made on three human subjects the some speeding up of heat production and energy ex- penditure at the expense of fat occurred.

THAN OVEIWOBK One of the liunwmus l “ of former days was to tell the thln lndlvldual with the lnrxe appetite that ho was kept t.h1n by carrying so much food around. As a matter of fact than: 1a some tmth 1n 1-1111 remark because l thin individual with a large ngpetlte is going to carry around th 111m s lot of waste from this excess food. Dr. Walter Alviucx of the Mayo Cllnlc tells us that 1t 1s the weight of these wastes that. make Us tired as much as the absorption of some of this waste into the blood. Most. of us are apt to think that we get. tired because we work too hard physically and mentally. Get- ting tired by physical work 1s a good health asset as 1t means re- freshlng sleep. Gettlnil tired from mental work may be due to tired- ness of the eye muscles. or some tiredness from nervous tension. but this requires but a short rest: ,m1nutes not. hours as with tlrcd- nrss due to physical work. That there are other causes for tiredness besides mental or physical overwork 1s stated bv Dr. F. L. Meredith. Ttift/s College, as re- corded by Science News Letter. “Poisons from organisms -t.eet.h and tonsils; thin blood; not enough or the wrong kinds of food (1n- cludlng lack of minerals and vit- amlns): sluggish circulation; and pyschle or mental states such as worry or lack of lntereset 1n one’s work." Another cause 1s lack of balance of the glands. Thus the thyroid gland. by making too much juice. ran speed no all the body processes keep the individual tensed (on his toes) all the time and cause tired- ness to come on sooner. On the other hand, an insufficient amount of thyroid Juice slows up all the body processes and the individual feels tlred, lazy. and sleepy most. of cm time. So do not blame your feeling of tiredness on overwork until you have thought over the different causes mentioned above. The first, tbought should be to have the teeth and tonsils examin- ed. If overwetnht. have metabolism test to see 1f thyroid gland 1s over or under active. Have blood ex- amined to see if 1t. contains enough iron. Sec that. enough sleep is ob- tained. finally make sure that. the wastes 1n the bowel are carried away regularly.
