THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1931 BRITISH PROTECTION Departure from the gold standard automatically protects to a certain extent British industries, as with a deflated sterling abroad importers cannot afford to purchase foreign supplies as extensively as here-to- foce. But while the ultimate effect may be the same, the uncertainty is such that stability would be practically impossible, and business demands a. reasonable measure of stability.

According t0 Windcrinere of the Montreal Still‘ the plans which will very likely be the basis of the new policy are to deal with wheat, not by import duties but by means of a quota. and with barley by a (‘iity on mulling barley only, and a tariff with Empire preference will be frankly applied to meat, dairy produce, vegetables and fruit. Strin- gent anti-dumping provisions ris- ing even to prohibition in the case oi slave labor products are also contemplated- If protection is ap- plied to manufactured cereals, can- ned fish and fruits, the benefit to Canada and other Empire countries will be greatly increased. The Em- pire preferences will probably be made subject to fair reciprocal ad- vantages in a series of trade agree- ments with the Domlnions. Nego- tiations to this end could be begun in November as soon as the new Parliament could pass a resolution enforcing an emergency tariff. This‘ emergency tariff would operate forthwith. As at present planned. it is graded into groups according to the labor cost in each article with rebates for: re-exports. It is expected that a. commission under Judicial chairmanship with expert advisers outside party politics will be appointed to hear any appeals against the tarlfi‘ and advise the Government that will take power to ill-E!‘ duties by an Order-in-Council. CANADIAN CHEESE The Dominion Dairy Commis- sioner, Mr. J. A- Ruddick, has virittcn to one of the branches of the Department of Agriculture a caution that. more caret must be devoted to the quality of Canad- ian cheese. if it is to hold its place in the British market. To quote from his letter: “During my recent visit to the dairy produce markets in the Unit'- cd Kingdom, I was very strongly impressed with the growing u“- popularity of late fall-made cheese from Canada. The complaint is ma‘ they 8T8 pasty, immature and poor flavor. ' "If this matter is not attended to it will soon be impossible to sell cold weather cheese in the Unified Kingdom. Time was when anything could be sold. That day ls past. The altitude of the trade ls why handle inferior Canadian cheese when good New Zealand ls always available. The for high-Erode Canadian is as good, as it ever was, and it brings I premium, but improperly cured cheese are not price." Th5 criticism, comments an Ontario exchange. ap- pllcs with equal force to the Can- adian cheese marketed at home. Too much of it is "pasty, immature and of poor flavor" when placed on sale. The stock explanation of these conditions is that the cheese is “too fresh," but the real trouble in most cases is that it has been improperly cured and that it will grow worse. rather than better, as time passes. Nor is there any ex- cuse for placing unpalatable cheese on sale, even if its only fault ls "greennessi." Nothing ‘should be narketed till it i. in a marketable Ifldftion. ‘v The fact of demand wanted at any Commissioner's the mmtlnlied VlQO-Yrndldllli-J- n. nut-rim o. In cllllfll and llnllrd linen. demand for high-grade Canadian cheese should encourage our dairy producers to stick to quality pro- duction as the surest means of re- ‘taining the British market. A well known author recflll-ly said “We are turning out too many hard-boiled, hard-headed (?) dumbelis in our colleges." Whatever that means.

In this way, it says, con- fidence will be restored to the busi- ness world, ‘and improved economic conditions brought about. While thrift is always a. virtue to be fostered, this is not a time for hoarding money beyond the limits required for the proverbial “rainy day." There never was a. time with- in the memory of people now living when a dollar had a. higher pur- out the best in a man." We require a lot of that kind of bringing out if we are to restore visor to W’ economic fabric. We must cease looking to the state and look solely to ourselves. Any other road will lead us to sheer futility. A movement has been launched in Washington to get Mr. Hoot/it's moratorium extended from 0H6 year to four or five years. And Why not? ff the thing was good for this year, why not for next year, and the year after that? It seems ailzlng to Olllfiillfis that there should be so much con- cern in Britain about whet a tariff might do in raising the British 005i of living when there ls so little hesitation to pile on taxes that have made costs of production so high as to further throttle Brit- ain's normal business activities. Every year, when we get our tax chasing value in the commodity- mnrkets than at When the depression bases-a conting- ency at the most which is only a few months off-prices will inev-‘ ltably rise and the dollar will lose‘ much of its present relative value. Now is the time to buy,—not spee- ulatlve stocks, but’ articles of real value, such as are always needed by‘ people in modest circumstances- The money thatis hoarded in the next twelve months may be entirely lost by the reduced purchasing pow- er of currency, consequent upon the? inevitable rise in prises which can-l not now be far ofl’. present. THOSE ROAD MACHINES The unauthorized purchase of $90,000 of road machinery by the late Liberal administration, with- out the sanction or knowledge oil the Legislature, was properly con. demned by Conservative members when in Opposition. Our local con- temporary now suggests that in order to be consistent the Stewart Government should scrap these machines. ‘The lfigic of this argu- ment is not apparent. The mi that the taxpayers were saddled, wrilly- nllly, with an extravagant purchgsg under the Saunders-Lea Govern- ment is no reason why they should not set the utmost possible value out of that purchase under the Stewart Government. That the Stewart Government is fulfilling its obligation in this respect is ev- ident from our contemporarys il- logical complaint.

II OVERUSE 0F ROUGH IDQDD Just a few years n80 research mm discovered that we were eating too much refined food. This meant that the lining of the large intestine, which holds and carries away the wastes from the food, was not get- ting enough bulky rough waste. This meant further, that as the lining of the large intestine was not being i=- rltated by coarse fibres or rough waste, that its muscular walls wen not being stimulated enough tn push waste material downwards and out of the body. Naturally it was recomme ded that more rough food be eaten, and the results following the use of l, little coarse food daily have been very gratifying. ' However Just like everything else, it. is possible to get ‘too much of a good thing‘, and rough coarse food is being eaten we often by many people, and there are many people who should not eat any coarse food. Dr. W. C. Alvarez, Mayo clinic, who has done a great amount of re-i search work on the intestine, states that a study of the replies of 4'10 physicians to a questionnaire in re- gard to the advantages 0! using bran and roughage has shown clear- iy that the physicians of the coun- try are not enthusiastic about the use of rough foods. They admit that they relieve a certain number of patients with constipation. Most of the physicians report h“. ing seen indigestion and flatulence igasi caused by the use of bran and other rough foods. In fact they thlnicthe propaganda for the adqi. non of roughage to the diet has been more harmful than beneficial, and condemn the practice of school nurses and others who prescribe the same rough diet for every one and who offer prizes for the child who can eat the most. sp ach. Now what about th ‘i L I believe every physician, the above 470 included, still believe that a little roughage is necemary to the diet of civilized man, because he has the same length and type of intes- tine as that of the man of thou- sands of years ago. He should mo“. fore eat a little rough food-bran, or raw cabbage, or lettuce, or celery o: coverings of potatoes, apples o;- other fruits every day. They give bulk and roughness to the waste om this stimulates the intestine, But to take these at every meal is not only going in cause ‘ndigestion, but may set up a. serious irritation of the lining of the large intestine- colltls.

Are Wild Fowl To Bel Saved (The Calgary Herald) . Governmental authorities and fish and @1118 associations officials throughout Canada. and the Unit- ed States are so seriously concern- _'ed by the threatened extinction of ‘the wild duck and wild gooaethat lvigorous and effective conserva- jtion measures may be anticipated. Alberta. has taken a very 1111901‘- tant lead in this respect by short- ening the duck season, ‘by one month, and by reducing the day and season bok limits. As this action was taken, following a con- ference at Edmonton at which were present Co]. Cunningham, game commissioner of Manitoba. and A. 1!‘. Ether. game commission- er of Saskatchewan, it may be a5- sumed that the other prairie prov- inces will foliow Alberta's example. This however, will not be suffi- cient. The moat important remedy lies in action that can be taken in the United states for the reason that 90 per cent of the wild ducks that are shot in the two countries are killed across the line as against. '10 per cent in Canada. Yet. these ducks are reared in Canada. it is. therefore, evident that if adequate conservation is i0 be secured the main action must come from the United States. Alberta one of the great breed- ing provinces, has made a generous and useful concession. with the other prairie provinces foiiowmx suit, the responsibility will lie with the United States as to whether practical conservation will be or- ganized nnd the wild duck, and with the wild BOme, be preserved. The situation in Western Canada has been thoroughly examined by Dr. W. D. Bell, o! the Bureau of Biological Survey, Washington, co- operating with Mr. J. Munro, chief federal migratory bird officer for the western provinces, and with Mr. Frank Farley, of Camrose, president of the Alberta Flal-i and Game Association. They have found that the duck lass in west- ern Canada, including the more northerly regions, approximates ‘the appalling total of 90 per cent of the supply of a. few years ago. Dr. ‘Bell has gone ‘so far as to declare that the feite of the carrier pig- eon will be the fate of the wild duck unless conservation measures are taken. Ottawa is keenly alert to the need for action but Ottawa cannot act effectively‘ without oo-oper- ation of Wlshington. The Cana- dian government may be sure of the undivided support of the Fish and Game associations in every province in the Dominion in any proposals it may urge looking to the preservation of the wild water-fowl.

A Great Discovery (Exchange) . “Mosquito Day" was celebrated at the Ross Institute and Hospital, Putney, mgland/on August 20th, the thirty-fourth anniversary of the discovery of t e malaria-bear- ing mosquito. The occasion was a luncheon in honor of the discoverer, Sir Ronald Ross, and attended by ' --‘ scientists and other admirers of Sir Ronald. m an article written by the discoverer, and published in the London Dally Express on Mosquito Day, Sir Ronald Ross tells of his voluntary work, so long discourag- the 19th Regiment, Madras Infan- try, Secunderabed, to which he wu attached as surgeon-major. Many of his results had been negative, because the mosquitoes with which be was working were not of the sort which carried malaria germs, the Anopheles. He had, he writes, examined already the stomachs of quite a thousand mosquitoes, and had become tired and discouraged- I-le however, be- gan the search again, and finally laughed aloud for he found a cell too small to be the ordinary stomach cell of a mosquiba, ‘and then another and another, exactly similar. To quote the scientist: “In each of these cells there wasi a cluster of small granules, black as jet and exactly like the black granules I had seen so many times in the malaria cells in human blood." ‘ He looked at all feasible objections" and thought he was the victim of Just one more deceit. He went home to tea and slept soundly for an hour. When he awoke with his mind refreshed, he exclaimed: “Eureka; the problem is solved." He seemed, he says, in his sleep to pigment gastric cells of the mosquito, and. happily, he was right. The enormous benefit that has accrued to humanity from the discovery made by Sir Ronald Ross, will undoubtedly make every one interested in human welfare feel like joining the acclaim with which the discoverer of the malaria- bearing mosquito was greeted less thin 5 fortnight n80 at the llll.
