The proposal, which was, in brief, an offer to the Mother Country and to all parts oi Can the Empire of a. preference in the adi an market in exchange for a like preference in theirs, based upon the addition of a ten per cent in- crease in general tariffs, was op- posed the even 'ernrn who :form by the Free Trade element in Labor Government, though at that time there were Gov- ent members and supporters acknowledged the need of some of tariff preference.

He might have said, with equal truth, that his proposal lot Empire tariff preference was ur important issue ln the British elections. and that the result of the Elections, practically insures the luccess of the great object he had ln mind in his memorable speech at the Imperial Conference. The crit- loa who then scoffed at his offer Ire either out of office or are de- llrlitely alllgned with the National Government, which has a mandate from the British people to exercise n-'hoe haha in ram! mliutnlenrs.

'nie beat antidote io tha gunonl depression prevelent in the world today is to bring down our history books from the shelves and draw g iquite obvious moral from their ‘pages Turn, for instance to the history of the Napoleonic wars which had shattered European peace almost continuously for twenty years: The peace which closed the great war with Napoleon left Britain feverish and exhaugtsd . . . The pressure of the heavy taxation and ofthe debt, which now reached eight hwidred milli- ons, was embittered by the Bmefal distress of the country- Society, too, was disturbed by the great changes of employment consequent on a sudden retum to peace after twenty years of war, and by the disbanding of the immense forces employed at sea and on land. The observant mind will notice the close parallel to present day con- ditions-even the unemployment problem was present. The moral is unmlshakably clear. There have always been people afflicted with ihe false idea that things could nett scheme of intra-Empire trade .never be worse; and who longed based on tariff preferences, and the|f0,- the "good Qld days," The writer of the pamphlet, "They Were All Wrong," sums it all up very neatly when he says," "The pessimisl; has only his arrogant ignorance to support him. The optimist has the growth of science: the evidence of civilization; and the proof of history. Optimism is common sense." The glare iight offenders are to be seen nightly even ln brilliantly- lighted city streets. Appeals to their sense of decency having ‘failed, the only thing to do is for the police to watch out for them and take the necessary action to teach a lesson that may be re- membered for a long time. A United States publication tells in plain language and cold type of how "Scarface Al" Capone, suspect. ing three henchmen of treachery, give a. banquet ln their "honor," had them lined up against a wall, drank a toast to their "hea.lth"- and, advancing on them ,with a baseball bat, clubbed them to death.

Now mere lsn’t any Quail-l0lx but ` that the children of briglar. of: nruiny i people will likely be brighter ma ‘brainler than of those who are not so‘bright and brainy. /f Similarly the children of strong rugged parents are goin8 to be stronger and healthier than the children of parents who are strong and rugged. There isu't any argument about this. ,You can't take a youngster whose mental capacity is only 90 per cent of normal and bring him up to 100 per cent. Nor can you take a child of poor physique naturally and make him the equal of a. youngster who has inherited a good physique. However the boy slightly below normal mentally can accomplish more for himself and for the world if given every opportunity, than can the normal bright boy who is shut oil from all advantages. Further, this boy whois slightly below nor- mal mentally can be so trained or can so train and adjust himself to life, that he will overcome all the disadvantages that came with him at birth. He needs help and guid- ance in this and his parents can help him. Mental health simply means being able to adjust oneself to surround- ings and circumstances and making the best of them. “The only worth while things par- ents can give their children is the ability to stand alone and to walk n. clearly seen path with heads erect and a smile, interfering with no one, permitting no one to interfere with them unwarrantably, and un- daunted by the troubles and tribula- tions of life." Dr. Geo. B. Lake tells us that the essentials necessary for sound men- tal health are; a. set of understand- ing and sympathetic parents; the banishment of ignorance, fear, and superstition; the acquirement of il. philosophy of life, a sense of humor, and the doing or n lot of things with' enthusiasm; and finally the regular daily exercise or use of the physical, the emotional, and the mental de- partments of the body. And when we realize what mental health means to the individual, to his family, and to the community, it certainly puts a great responsibility on all parents. /go ‘W PRAYER There is :ood for thought in the d refs. ood grant to me one selderi slit! methods outlined above, not only off the page of ~ the earth.

He addressed himself especially to the children who were gathered before him, and he spoke to them in the language of the majority. It is scarcely necessary to state that the ma- jority in Bathurst, as indeed, in the country of Gloucester, is Acadian. This delicate attention on the part of the representative in Canada of His Majesty the King could not fall to make a pro- found impression on the minds of these children, and upon the minds of their parents.
