IIWIIIIMMI lcern whstsveriin the BMW'- T110 Montreal Gazette reports the protest of Mr. R. B. Hanson, Conservative member ‘for York Sunbury. Speaking in parliament on March 11th, Mr. Hanson said: “There is a distressed- condition among the potato growers in East- ern Canada, but we are ten tlm more entitled to a reduced rate in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick’ and Nova. Scotla than they are in Quebec. because we are just that much farther away from the Montreal and Toronto markets. "When the railway does that and attaches the rider that I have read I think the situation is almost hopeless. I lsy the charge. believ- ing it to be trueuthat political in- terference has brought about this special rate, and that it was grant- ed at the instance of the Federal members from Quebec, working through the Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Railways and Canals." Mr. Pouliot-Tilo request wiis made by the Department of Agri- culture of the Province of Quebec. Mr. Hanson-All right, it is poli- tical action again and it makes the situation worse. I object to the discrimination against the people of my Province, and the Govern- ment has not heard the last of it, neither has the management of the ‘ Canadian National Railways." Mr: A. n. McLean, M. P., is the only Island member quoted in the Gazette despatch as commenting on this sit- uation. Iilstead of upholding the hand of the new Brunswick repre- sentative he protested that there is already a special‘ rate, applicable to the three Maritime Provinces. These rates, as is well known here, have not been satisfactory to our Island ship- pers. But Mr. McLean had no coin- piaint to make on that score, anddeft the impression that so far as this Province is concerned, everything is all right. The full report of this debate in Hanssrd will be eagerly looked for. If our Island represent- atives are content with the potato freight situation as it is, it is well that their statements should be on record. Q CUIBAN POTATO MARKET Discussing the Cuban market for Maritime potatoes, Mr. Guy G. Por- ter, of Perth, N. B, in an interview published in the St. John Telegraph Journal, said that potatoes are being imported into Cuba. from Europe and the United States while hundreds of thousands of barrels are rotting in Canada, due tn the lack of proper transportation between these two countries. The Cuban merchants are all anxious to deal with Canada but state that they are unable to do business with the potato dealers as they are not assured of regular ship- ments from the Maritinles. This condition, Mr. Porter said, had been brought to the-attention of both Hon. James Malcolm. Minister of ‘Trade and Comm/orce, and I-Ion. Dr. P. J. Veniot, P tmsster-General, by a delegation of leading Maritime po- tato shippers who went to Ottawa early in January in the interests of a steamship service between Saint John and Cuba. Mr. Porter said that the Minister oi Trade and Commerce showed great surprise when he was intonned by the delegation that such condi- tions existed and that if some rem- edy was not forthcoming from the Federal Government to relieve the situation, hundreds of thousands cf bushels of Maritime tubers will never reach s. market this year but will have to be hauled to the dump. 'l‘hc delegation impressed upon the two cabinet ministers the great need of this service to the Cuban markets, pointing out that the present chip- ments of about three-quarters of s million barrels could be increased to a million and a half barrels of po- tstces from the Mlritimo Provinces. p.

Espec- ially do we need factories that give continuous employment. As_it is, the bulk of cue population being ag- ricultural, half of them are but half employed during the winter season. Our fishermen are handicapped in the some way. For this reason many of both there classes migrate and comparatively few of them return. There are many openings for fact- ories here to utilise our home-grown products. Why should we import cucumber and onion pickles, canned corn, peas, beans, and other vege- table products, such as berries and fruits? v The time was when we had no‘ cheese factories, creiuneries or lobster factories. In respect to these industries good progress has been mlde, but "their operation, while highly beneficial is not continues on the dairying side and is confined to a. fewunonths o! the year in the lob- star industry. ' We send abroad our hides’ and skins which should be tanned within our Island shores, and would be, ii‘ we had a. boot and shoe factory to utilise the leather, and we import hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of footwear for our people. Also we impcrtleatilel- for our harn- ess makers, as well as ready-made hamess,’ leather satchpls, valises, trunks and straps, all of which should be‘ made here from the hides and skins we sell abroad for a song. We import untold thousands of dollars worth of ready-made cloth-k ink. shirts. collars, ties, rubber coats and footwear. We import a vast total of agricultural machinery and implements, furnaces, stoves and Brat/es.

Butsomething has been done. Ai- though we do not grow tobacco, we have tobacco factories which turn out an excellent product and their activities prosper. Excellent brooms are made at a factory in town and burial caskets are made in Montague on a quite extensive scale which does not only supplies c. large home mar- ket but meets a. considerable demand in Nova Scotiri and New Brunswick. Surely among the multitude of things we import from abroad, pay- ing cssh for them and for heavy freight Charge! thereon, there must lie-many which could be made here had we factories in which to make them and the necessary skilled man- agers and assistants to operate them and in train other operatives that would be needed as home-production increased. We must remember that every community that now has flour- ilhlllll factories giving large tmploy- ment, encountered the same difficul- ties in the beginning. Most of the factories in other coun- munitics began in a small, or moder- ate fashion. Their capital wss small also, until public confidence was es- tabiished and dividends to factory shareholders began to be noted. The offer of free sites for factories soon became competitive and the “patron- age of home products" became a. lo- csi slogan. A‘ factory employing say twenty hands gives c. great boost to a vil- lage or small town and gives a. new impetus to the growth of a large city. It means anaddition oi’ fifty to one hundred to the population. It in- creases the business of the merchant, the professional man, the hotel man, the barber, the keeper of a. boarding house and the owner of a taxi. Our Provincial Government, City Council, Rotary lncipther progressive organiza- tions shoiild join hands in counsel Ind in cmtinued persistent effort to promot.“ industrial progress for the supply of our home needs.

How- ever the prolonged rest treatment by lying in bed, or using gas, pressure. is meant for advanced cases only. ‘rilat is, cases that wouldlsoon prove fatal if this treatment were not used. This rests the lungs. chest, the However, as mentioned more than once before, in cases of early tuber- culosis where the condition is not ad- vanced, this mt treatment would not be cf help because it is really the use oi the lung, by breathing, and thus bringing air and blood to the part, that enables the lung to heal itself. Because after all, as practically everybody has tubercuosis anyway, it is only when the individual gets run down from overwork, mental or phy- sical, from little infections of vari- ous kinds, or any excesses, that tub- ercuksis makes itself apparent. Now the airing of the lungs by light in these early cases has Dr. M. J. Bréucr reports twenty cases that had not been improved af- ter some lvccks of routine treatment —that is rest and good food. cases were all "walking" cases, but THESE all definite cases of tubrccillosis. These cases llad a very slight rise in temperature in the afternoon but never above 99oF. The trcatmcnt was begun by in- structing the patients to take ten deep breaths cn three occasions, dur- ing the day, ‘before meals, and out of doors or before an open window. Breathing waste be very slow, about eight times a. minute, and as deep as possible. This removed some waste or pois- oned material from the part of the lung affected, and really started a slight inflamma icn. This little in- flammati-cn created a reaction in the tissues which resulted in an improve- ment or otherwise; some change must occur. In only two cues did the tempgp- ature go up. Exercise was discon- tinued in these cases. In the other eighteen cases im- provement was notzd within a. week. Breathing exercises were given every 4 hours. then every 2 hours, and than evcry hour.

Nature makes no hubbub in changing the face of tiielsnd- scape." The handshake of two friends in some grassy dale may mean more to the world than the famous meet- ing o! Wellington and Blucher at Waterloo. Was it not). rare crea- tive day for English literature when, in November, 1787, Coleridge and Wordsworth met in the English lake- land and mutually. bargained to “try s new note ~in poetry?_ Coleridge produced “The Ancient Mariner." Wordsworth set about writing ."The Prelude." It is autobiographical, as he tells us, his diary of self-revel- ation in verse. The poem, as its title suggests, was intended to be part of a much larger scheme. tending to show that the real element oi.’ ro- mance in life is found in common- place and familiar things, and that the wilole fabric o! nature is every- where interpenetraicd by the breath- ing or motions of a. supernatural spir- it. During his lifetime, Wordsworth penned more than five hundred son- nets, besides sn enormous amount of material contained in other poetic forms; yet his minor pieces, which he himself compared to the "little cells, oratorim and ,. ‘ “uni A cesses of s, Gothic churclf“ are all grouped about the essential idea that pervades his poetry throughout. and finds its keynote in the “Prelude? He defines pcetl-y as the spontaneous overflow of powerful feeling such as is arous- ed in the heart by the colors and forms, sights and sounds of natural objects. And once these fine emo- tions have simmered in the mind and been reflected upon, the main task oi’ the poet is to give expression to his thoughts in the simplest and most direct language suitable to the theme. No lgnglisll author has managed better to fulfill the terms of the poetic theory thus for laid down, nor reproduced with such quiet force and gentle appeal these subtle and mystical influences which out- flow from the commonest objects of the natural world. and awake in the human brrart pulsations of wonder, sympathy or delight; such thoughts as haunt the imagination, and ever- lizstingly suggmt that the whole vis- ibie frame of nature is one vast speaking parable of the Divine Spir- it. This, in brief. is the message of William Wordsworth and is very apt- ly expressed in four simple lines of the “Preiude"—- "Wisdom and spirit of the universe, Thou soul.‘ that art the eternity of thought And giv‘st to forms and images a breath ' ~ An everlasting motion." _Hazlitt says that the poetry of Wordsworth is fcundcd upon setting ivwpcle is to show that noon-o u» ci- u-uiii sndbeluty, without any oi the ornaments of dress or pomp ~01 011‘- cumltsnces to not it off.

Both by instinct ‘onli choice Wordsworth was the poet of nature. It was during a. vacation he wrote his first poem. It was by his vacations he gathered the harvest of c quiet eye. I-Iis household servant hit upon the best of criticism when she re- markedthat the master's study was out-of-Adoors." Perhaps there is no better clue to the Wordsworthian philosophy than that contained in a chance note by Dorothy Wordsworth in which she said that "living at Grasmere was like living in the at- mosphere of s. church, and holidays in the hills were like a week of Sun- days." It was in the spirit of the calm poise, the strength andseren- icy of nature, Wordsworth indited his verse, and so iieiped to steady men's minds upon the unsuspected romance that lies in the simplest relations of life, and in the dignity and sacred- ness of its natural affections. The poetry of William Wordsworth has been called the “Sabbath influence of literature." How can its aims bet- ter be expressed than by the conclud- ing lines of the “Prelude" itself- "What we have loved. Others will love, and we will teach them how, . . Instructthem bow the mind of man becomes .. . . A thousand dimes more beautiful I than the earth On which he dwells, above this frame _ of things. .
