The Financial Post replies um there are ‘itwo ‘emen-ta here. The Post did not bitterly assail Mr. '1 LZLTBQIIIIEbVS reform DwQra-lruue. And we are not eating humble pie. What we have done is to draw attention to the fact that Mr. Bennett's’ ' January 2 speech and the Speech hum the Throne were two differ- ,ent things. The first was Facisln, ....whlch no liberty-loving citizen -would accept. The second was so- cial reform, which every good citi- V ' ren wants." 0i’ course the Premier's broad- cast and the Throne Speech were “two different things." One con- sisted chiefly of an analysis of the abuses of the capitalistic system. The other was an outline of legis- lation which the Government pur- gaosed introducing to remedy such i abuses. The Post, if it chooses, may call the one Facism and the other Reform, but. when it speaks about “liberty-loving citizens" not accept- ing Mr. Bennett's first statement on this ground, it is obvously speak- ing, without reference to rm. ‘The fact is that the Prime Min- isierb utterances were greeted by ti! fink and file of the people of Canada with whclehearted ap- proval. That the opposition from certain, vested interests petered out when Parliament opened and the reforms were introduced, merely goes to show the force of puiblic opin- ion, even upon such stalwart cap- italistic champions of the old school as the Financial Post. In its comment the Post says it is a non-political newspaper and is not concerned with the effect of Mr. Bennett's programme on the fortunes of his or any other party. “Bu; we are concerned," it adds, “with the effect on the fortunes of the country." We miglht point out ‘that, it is neither the "fortunes" nor the for- -tune owners of the country that the Bennett reform pciicim have chief- ly in rnrind. It is the people without fortunes, who are dependent on their daily labour. Tile Prime Minister has declared that the interests of these people must. come first. If "nib be Facism, the Financial Post H is welcome to make the most of it. which, indeed, it endeavours to do. In another editorial in the same issue. the T010Il120 paper protests against any change in taxation fthat will further redistribute wealth." According to the Post's theory, if a. wealthy man's income “u taxed more, he will have less w ‘spend and consequently will employ lfewer workmen. It relpudiates the theory that the state, in that case, will spend more money and that this will go into pay envelopes more quickly and more generously than if people of means spent or invested it. “Dividing the world's accumulated wealth," it says, “cannot make everyone rich." That is true, but hark to this: "There is not enough wealth in Canada to give every- body a reasonable standard of liv- ing. Dividing up the wealth we now have would really be a shar- ing of comparative poverty." And again: "our psinlury job is to increase the world's wealth, . , We must find rccm to maintain the ' profit motive." That, apparently, is the be-ali and end-all of states- manship. Is it surprising that the Post. with such views, is perturbed about Mr. Bennett's policies? The wonder is that it could bring itself " to say anything good about the re- forms as enunciated in the Throne Speech.

And it is not merely this particular mess- ure, with any faults the opposition may think it has; if they destroy it they destroy the whole principle.

People who think otherwise-and there are some of them among lie-have learned noth- ing from history, not even from some very recent history-Ottawa Journal. The poalibility of monnrchist restoration in France is lessened probably by the fact that the Flrenoh have two competing var- ieties from which to choose. There are the Bourborls. descendants of the old royal family. Now the twenty-one year old scion of the House of Bonaparte has issued a manifesto addrescd to "my people."

So the new govern- ing commission lowered the tariffs. encouraged foreign trade, and the. state-owned railway now shows a surplus. The capitalist is not the only sinner who broke the moral laws in th: years of universal dissipation which followed the war: the industrialist who overcapltallsed his entenprise, feeling sure that the golden era would last for ever, was no nlore responsible. for the crisis than the salaried father of a family who, after earning as much as tell dol- lars a day during the war, had nothing to show for it, at the arm- istice but a car and a player-piano. and who is now living on direct re- lief.

There will be a universal round of applause for Betty Gow, who planted her fist in the face of a woman termentor.

So when a crowd followed her on the steamer that was to take her home, and a nosey woman grabbed her by the arm and de- manded. “Let's have a look at‘ you," Betty's pent-up emotions found a natural outlet."

You perhaps know of the symp- toms-a tight gripping sensation in the region o! the breast bone, a feel- ing of impending death, the need of stopping suddenly as further _ _ seems . ._. It was this need for immediate stopping of anything that was beinll clone, walking for instance. that gave research physicians the idea that it was lack of oxyBfinin the blood supplying the muscles of the heart that caused the "tight" feel- ing and often collapse. And as we remember our younger days when we ran a certain distance ~ we got a “tight" feeling in the chest. By running more slowly or walking for a while we got what we called our “second wind" and were then able to continue at, the old pace. This was because we got our breathing adjusted to the needs of our blood for oxygen. Thus we find Marathon runners and long distance swimmers adJust their breathing to a certain number of steps or strokes so that the lungs can supply the blood with the neo- essary amount of oxygen to keep the muscles of the heart and all the other muscles of the body also, pro- perly supplied. When they find themselves getting slightly out of breath they lessen their‘ speed slightly until the blood gets enough oxygen into it again. The point then regarding those with angina pectoris is that they should not exercise beyond the oxy- gen needs of the heart. Similarly it is felt that large meals should not be eaten as they require a large amount of oxygen to burn them up in the body, thus lessening the amount in the blood itself. Further, the pressure from the large meal in the stomach, sometimes with con- siderable gas formation, also inter- feres with the small vessels that cal~ry'blood to the heart muscle. It would seem then that with cas- es of angina pectorls and also with cases of actual disease of the heart muscle or its valves, lessening the amount of exercise and eating small amounts of food at one time would lessen the amount of oxygen the heart muscle needs, and so prevent these “grlppirlg" symptoms in the chest. . A Jury ‘On Tour (Ottawa Journal) Members of the jury that con- victed Haupomarur of murder are going "on the stage," following the example of those other celebrated artists, Mr. luld Mrs. Oliva Dionne. The foreman says their alppearance behind the footligllts will be “very dignified," and if anybody pre- sumes to bc critical the answer is that the jurors “need the money." Surely exploitation of the figures in this trial should not stop with the jury. The State of New Jer- sey must have spent large sums on the Lindbergh case. It is well known that all states llced money, so why shouldn't New Jersey ex‘ Hauptmann in the theatres to help pay the cost of his own conviction? The judge himself apparently did what he could to maintain some ozder and dignity in the proceed- ings at Flemlngton, no doubt would decline to join a, theatllical troupe. but it should be possible to enlist the co-cperation of the learned COUIISIEI who prosecuted and de- fended. There are great possibilities in the sch-cure. Hauptmann. in fact. might be mad-e to earn a nice profit for the state. especially if his trium- phant tour were to culminate in his public electrocution in Madison Square Garden, for which, of course, a high fee would be charg- ed. "It isn't done," as a working principle. seems to have been sup- erseded by “We need tho money." Perhaps it is andmprovement. this being. as we are told so often, a practical age. In any event if it is proper for the Haupt iunn jury to be so coldly practicalwllere should be no objection to other branches of the Flemingion court parading themselves before the paying pub- lic for a cash consideration.

In Great Britain, where unionism flourishes as nowhere else in the world, and where unemployment insurance has been in operation for a quarter of a century, the contributory features of the system are precisely similar to those em- bodied in Premier Bennett's bill. In point of fact, those features estab- lish a scheme of group inslulance, embracing 1.500.000 prospective beneficiaries in the wage-earning classes, whose premiums will be paid t9 the extent of over 50 per cent by people who can never be- come claimants under its operation.
