MONDAY, JUNE 23, 1930 An Ineffective Defence Premier King came to the Prov-‘ ince on Saturday, saw, but did not conquer. His meetings were char-i acterized by a lack of spontaneous enthusiasm. There was a good deal of applause from the faithful, of course, but there was a coldness ruli- ning through them that was all thei more impressive because of the warmth of the weather. Premier King is an able speaker, most persuasive in his arguments, and with a vocabu- lary equal to almost any occasion. .\'otwithstanding, he could not en- thuse, far less enthral his audience. The reason was not far to seek. He came not with a message of hope, but' with a plea in defence of his Gov- e:'nment's short-comlngs. He was on the defensive all the time, about the only grain of hope in his two-and-l- half hours' speech in the Strand Theatre was when he promised-or rather hinted-that if he were again returned to power he would wipe out the remaining one per cent Sales! Tax. A statesman with one stroke ofl the pen would have wipd out that nuisance tax entirely, instead cz” merely reducing -it by half. Now, however, the politician dangles that, one per cent Sales Tax before our" eyes as a. bribe to re-elect himi New Zealand Butter Premier Mackenzie King laboured for nearly half an hour on Saturday night endeavouring to justify his ac- tion in discriminating against the dairy industry in his treaty with new zealand. with him ih this par; iicular instance it is the old story of “to excuse is to accuse." His elabor- ate explanation of how the dairy in- dustry was so prosperous here four years ago that it tempted the New Zealanders* to send their butter all the way across the Seven Seas to compete with us, might satisfy those who want to have an excuse for jus- tifying the flagrant injustice to our farmers. but it will not stand close examination. Admitting without hes- itation that our dairy industry was prosperous at the time the New Zealand Treaty was negotiated, what! right had Premier Mackenzie King to jeopardize that prosperity by re- ducing the duty on New Zealand butter from 4c to lc per lb? Was that not a. deliberate attempt to swamp our butter market with out- side competition? If it were not, was it not an instance of grow incom- petence in handling the tariff? Prom- ier Mackenzie King implied that hcl never thought the New Zealanders] would be induced to send their but- ter so far' afield for a market; why, then did he offer them thc prefer-i ence in his tariff? He says that some time ago, before the election was thought of, when he found that thc tariff was endangering the dairy farmers, he ordered tho,_abrngation of the treaty. but that it would be six months before that coul-1* be ac- complished; meantime our dairy farmers must put up with the com- petition throughout the whole of thc coming winter. There is just this to he mid in refufation of Premier Kings explan- ations: it is more than two years how, since the National Dairy Coun- cil appealed to him to have thc treaty amended, "in the best inter- ests of the dairy lndustry of Can- ada," and he turned them down so cold and unsympathetlcallyihat the’ Liberal press, including the Patriot,j held out absolutely no hope of the buttcr duty being increased; indeed, on the eve of the election the Pat- riot deliberately informed its readers thot if the Liberal Party went to the' peniient bench and adopted a pro- tective policy it would be committing suicide. In' view of these facts and pre- budget insertions what reliance can xipgu explanation? Nona whlwvm' other than ui election seswrv in votes, notwithstanding that New Zea- lafnd butter is still coming in in ship- loads to compete with them now and throughout the winter, and perhaps next summer as well. 1 ---;-_-_ , _ Mr. King And Pensions one thihg is settled by Premier' King's visit here; we are to get no old age pensions from the Liberal Government unless we tax ourselves for them. ivli-_ Bennett has pledged the Conservative party if returned to power, to make old age pensions en- tirely a Federal measure-the only just and equitable manner of treating a National question. Mr. King at best suggests the proposaiasworth consid- cring, although he has deliberately gone on record against the nation- alization of pensions. He boasts of the status of Canada as s. nation, but it is curious how he endeavors on ev- ery possible opportunity to avoidi national responsibilities by shift-,i ing them on to the shoulders of thc ‘ provinces. Old Age Pensions are un- doubtedly a national liability and the _ Federal Govemment is fully entitled topr'ovideZDf?.i\enl.Bi'tFi\'£¢kl‘£l.*.. Kings attitude regarding his respon- sibilities? He deliberately refuses to recognim tllcm, declaring that to give money to the provinces for old age pensions would be a "thorough- ly vicious principle." What hope then can ` the people of this Province have of old age pen- sions by voting for Mr. Kings candidates? The only chance we have of ever realizing our old age pension scheme is by electing Mr. Benentt to power. ' .- 'A Poor Compliment It was plainly to be seen that Mr. Mackenzie King was labouring under a grave disadvantage in explaining why he turned down the elected choice of Prince Edward Island for the Ministry of Fisheries, and sel- ected instead his own favorite. He realizes now, when it is too late, that he made a serious tactical blunder in deliberately flouting the claims of Mr. Jenkins and Mx. MacLean, and insisting upon the selection of Dr. Cy- rus Macmillan. Mr. Jenkins is a busi- ness man, who, if good enough to represent the county, is .surely good enough to administer a department. He had in his constituency one of the best fishing areas in the Prov- ince and during the past four years could have been of some service to it in the capacity of Minister. Then thcrc is Mr. MacLean, a practical lobster packcr, familiar with ‘every branch and avenue of fisheries, rep- resenting ii large fishing population, yet his undoubted claims on his lead- er wcrc turned down. And why? Bc- cause, Mr. King told the people on Saturday, Mr. Duff wanted the job as representing Nova Scotia, and British Columbia wanted it, and it would not do to offend either, so he decided to ignore all the sitting mem- bers and bring in a brand new Min- ister on the following logical reason- ing: The Duncan Commission, of which Dr. Cyrus Macmilllan was a member, recommended a separate deputy Minister of Fisheries, but not a separate Minister. He (Premier King) then named another commis- sion on Fisheries, of which Dr. Cy- rus Macmillan was also a member and this commission recommended a separate minister as well as a separ- ate deputy minister. Dr. Cyrus Mac- millan havlng been a member of both commissions, why not thcn ap- point him to the ministry thus re- commended? It did not seem to oc- cur to the Prime Minister that the Minister ho selected should first be the chosen or the eteetmace. Our Claims, Forsooth! Does anyone who was in the aud-1 their own homes on saturday, know Notes B_y_T he Way It uit: 2.37 cents more 3 mile to drive over rough roads than over good pavements. When a motorist travels 10,000 miles a year over rough roads it costs him just $237 more than if he were going over-paved highways. Just what it costs to drive Over PrinC€ Edward Island roads these days in excess of what it ought to cost, it would be didicult- perhaps impos- sible to estimate.-Not withstanding eulogies on the present satisfactory conditions of the roads, it is gener- ally conceded that, at this season of the year our roads are the roughest we have had in many years. John Arthur Dewar. who became a millionaire, on the death of his uncle the famous London, dlstiller has no intention of giving up work. He said: “If you stop working you might as will be dead. It is work that makes life worth living. Hard work never killed anyone-and work keeps the brain and body active. Do¢s the stock market inspire busi- ness or does business set the direc- tion and the pace for the stock market? That is a. question as dirti- cult to answer as that ancient riddle about the order in which the chicken and the egg came. The latter still worries the scientists, and the other keeps the economists divided into two schools of thought and theory. Back of the puzzling situation probably is' the fact that memories of the crash last fall will not vanish and that it is easier to put paralyz- ing fear into the minds of the people than to get it out, There is increasing evidence in tht! country that the people are disgust- ed with the Govemments cold-blood- ed opportunlst course, with the capac- ity of ministers to swallow their own principles and recant their own pro- fessions-in short, with their acro- batlc performances on the fiscal tight rope; with their eagerness to be all things to all men; with their disre- gard of both Canadian and Imperial interests. A man cannot preach free trade one day and practice protection the next without losing both fa/cc and caste. The people do not trust that kind of politician. To those who listened to Mr. King`s advocacy of Senate reform in 1925, the appointment of seven Senators during the present election campaign is not inspiring. Taking these selec- tions on the further count, once so strongly upheld in Liberal circles, that members of Parliament with Senatorial aspirations were incapable of exercising a proper parliament- ary judgment, the recent seven ap- pointments to the Upper Chamber are an °_\~.on;°_»\y. We boned Qxt pro- test from 1911 to 1921 says the Win- nipeg Tribune. ‘ This aspect is Mr. King‘s affair but it is inseparable in the nature of things from the larger question of Senate reform as was preached, but was never practiced by me Premier, during the past hve years his ad- . ministration has been in office. The hazards oi’ football and the wonder that it does not produce more serious accidents were once empha- sized by “Brink” Thorne, the old Yale football player, who has just died. Charging into the line one day in practice, he- was going so fast and was struck so hard by an opposing player who dove at him below the knee that he performed the possibly unparalleled feat of turning a corn- plete somersault in the air, still hold- ing onto the ball, landing on his feet and continuing his run. ference to be drawn from his re- marks on the subject was that one cf the reasons why he wanted Dr. Cyrus Macmillan in his cabinet was to have someone at his elbow who 'would tell him exactly what these claims were. We are not surprised that Mr. Mackenzie King is muddled and puzzled over; our claims, for our Provincial Governmnct is entirely at sea on the subject. The members of the Government presented him with both a "memorial" and a "pamphlet" which they claimed were equally authentic, and yet which differed as the poles asunder. The one Premier Len fathered provides for an addi- tional annual subsidy of $3,250,- 000 besides a. cash payment of $200,000. It would take c. Phila- delphia lawyer to explain the details of Premier Le:i‘s claim, and with all due deference to Premier King, Dr. Cyrus Macmillan is no Philadelphia lawyer. The Rt. Hon. gentleman will have to think of some other explanation for his de- lay in satisfying our claims; besides it should not be necessary for I-its Ma;esty's Govemment to have a be placed on Premier Mackenzie iences. 01' Who hvird Mr- Kin! ltl Clllhli erdnrtoeecurethodllrvfirmsfl' what are our prospects of getting our _ satisfactorily settled?

In _all important bouts the amount of 'road' work, slow running on' the road, in early moming. is the point we watch most carefully 'because this means two things. 1 st, The boxer is in earnest about his training or he wouldnt do this hard grinding run for miles every moming, 2nd. This slow running will leave his heart and lungs in such good con- dition, that, barring accidents. he s hould be able to box the required number of rounds. However there is another point of interest to the medical examiner that has not much to do with health, and that is the boxers ability to strike fast or to ward off a blow fast. This can only be attained by box- ing in agymnasium, and if we find that he is a little snw in his atm: or just a little late in defending e. blow, we know that he has not been doing faithful work with his boxing partners. Because the difference between the trained athlete and one who is not in good training ls just a. matter of 'time.’ For from the time that the boxer decides to lead or strike a blow un- til it is done is just a. fraction of a second. By strict training and prac- tice he can reduce the time that this takes so that (unless the other boxer is just as fast), as he sees the blow coming, he will be able to land the blow.
