I am confident that the re- sults of your labors and the spirit of co-operation which has brought about their success will be of real benefit to my PC0916- say of the delegates of the 1032 Irri- perial Economic Conference, “they buiided better than they knew," he undoubtedly had in mind the in- spired inscription on the bronze tablet 1n the Confederation Cham- Charlottetown. Mr. Baldwin on his visit to Charlottetown 1n 1927 spent some time in the Confederation Chamber and was particularly irn- pressed by the inscription u mmem- orating the achievement of the Con- federation Fathers, which conclud- es with the words: “Providence being their guide they bullded bet- ter than they knew." The fact that the then Prime Minister of Great Britain should have remembered those lines is not surprising in view of his keen appreciation of literary values. When the occasion arose for iumming up the far-reaching con- icquences of the Conference at Ottawa, no fitter quotation could have been used. The incident fur- nishes a striking illustration oi’ Mr. Baldwin's genius for saying the right thing at the right time. QUESTIONABLE Our contemporary says it is sick oi’ Mr. Bennett being made a poi- itical deity and does not intend to indulge in this hero worship. That is the reason it gives for not pub- lishing the tributes to the Canad- ian Prime Minister by the leaders of the British and Australian dele- gations st the Imperial Confer- ence, or the feature article by the Canadian Press on the benefits which will accrue to the Maritime Provincca as a result of Mr. Ben- nett's negotiations. We have no doubt of the sicken- ing effect of such news on our contemporary, but is that an ade- quate reason for suppressing it‘! SILENCE BETTER In view of Mr. Mackenzie King's‘ earlier statements about the Im- pcrial Economic Conference it is not surprising that he is hesitant now about commenting upon the results that have been. achieved. For if his attitude is unchanged from the stand he took in his Winnipeg speech last January, there is nothing Mr. King can say that would be helpful in inter- prcting those results in any shape or form. The Conference agree- ments, one and all, embody the principle of Empire tariff prefer- enccs; and Mr. King has made it rlcartilat he is absolutely opposed lo that principlefl-le dubbed it “ec- onomic imperialism; an enlarged economic isolation,” and declared that "from the Liberal viewpoint economic imperialism and econom- ic nationalism are both wrong." This statement, it is curious to note, was misinterpreted by Dr. Cyrus Macmillan at the recent Liberal meeting in the Strand Theatre to mean that Mr. King was in accord with the Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, head of the Brit- sh delegation at Ottawa. Mr. Bald- win had said: "Don't imagine for a moment that this Imperial Ec- onomic Conference means econom- ic isolation of the Empire." Quot- lng this remark, Dr. Cyrus Mac- millan added: "Mr. King said that, AUTOS 01v THE FARM Despite the depression there are, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, 321,306 automobiles on Canada's 728,623 farms, which is one automobile for every 2.27 farms. The number of cars has been doubled in the last ten years. Ontario has more cars to the farm than any other province, the average being one for every 1.53 farms, and Quebec has the smallest ratio, the average being one in every 5,106 farms. Saskatchwan ranks after Ontario with one in 2.10, Manitoba 2.12, A1- bcrta 2.27, British columns 2.4a. New Brunswick 3.26. Prince Edward Island 3.31 and Nova Scotia 3.83.

A total of '19 per cent of these 100 principal imports originated in the United Slates, as nganst 14 per cent from the United Kingdom and '1 make the spec-d of the trans. that "it is the justice ' ldlviduals who_ refuse any aid 1n this condition. - Before the Ilse of the injection method them was some excuse for doing nothing about it, because the removal of these veins meant going Some idea of the way water trans- ' mm hgspltul, undergoing m up“. atlori, remaining in hospital two or three weeks, and some three to six issuedlmonths carefulncss on the part of concerning the Panama Canal, says! the patient after comirlg out of the the Border cities Star.

They also find it an effective method of treating varicose ulcer, and varicose eczema, both very dis- tressing ailments due to varicose veins, as 88 per cent of their cases were healed and remained healed according to the usual follow up observations. Perhaps you have been troubled with piles or hucmorrholds which after all are only varicose veins, and have been afraid, or have dis- liked mo idea, of an operationxThis injection method has proved just as effective in the treatment of piles as in varicose veins in the gs. . Fire At Sea (From Engineering) The catastrophes which have oc- curred of late years by fire to such famous passenger liners as the "Bermuda" and “Europa,” culmin- atlng in the recent major disaster to the French vessel, the "Georges Philippar" are causing serious ap- prehension in the public mind re- garding the measures which have been, and are being. taken for the protection of life at sea. The shock to the public conscience occasioned by the loss of the "Titanic" caused a complete revision of the regulat- ions and requirements designed for the safety of seafarers, so far as the risk due to sinking is concerned. The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea now re- quires a degree of protection by means oi’ subdivision of the hull structure which is c nsidernbly in excess of that hitherto provided. While this is the case so far as the risk of sinking due to collision, or any other cause is concerned, when we turn to the equally or more serious question of outbreak ( T fire, it is found that the require- ments regulatlng the outfit and Frankie!“ m" W" 5m l" m” And roblns chirped from the nest. first time at the Government re- wlillv“ °" Mmlday t° lmmbers °t And lol in the meadow-sweet the Inlemfltlmllll “lure” °l PW rWas the grave of a little child, hlstvflfl AYCllMlWY- Whlcll l5 meet‘ With a crumbling stone at the ing here.

Yet at the height of these purchas- ing so he emphatically repudiated the criticism of Mr. King that it was intended to isolate the Empire iconomically.
