As already noted, if the! lower world prlccs ruling are taken, into account, the actual net increase] in volume is seen to be considerably greater. Commenting on these figures, the, Montreal star sees in them con- crete evidence that the peoples of the British Empire countries have faith that the agreements drafted a‘. the Imperial Conference will be of distinct benefit to them, and they have willing to take chances as to the implementing of those flkreements by their respective Gov- ernments. While our decreased trade with the United States must of course be accredited largfiy to the high American tariff wall, in regard particularly to agricultural pro- duce. the ultimate result has been to increase our trade within the Empire. It is a. good eugury that before the agreements evolved at the Conference have come before the respective Parliaments for rat- ification, trade should have shown revenue and without, increasing the burden on the taxpayers, 30 much for the facts.

Glanc- Wardine, Great Britain, after ob- servations on 150 cases of stroke with high blood pressure. tells us that strokes often attributed to shock, exertion. or emotion. are the result of an already existing pressure, which was increased by the influence of this shock, exert- ion, or emotion. Further, although the blood pres- sure in a normal middle-aged indi- vidual is about 135 or 140, when the armcufl.’ of the blood pressure in- strument is tifihtened "D by air, pressures of 200 or over may not mean anything serious, if the pressure without the cuiI-—the nat- ural pressur'e—1s under 115. When the cuff is tightened by air 1t is called the systolic pressure. and when the air pressure is re- moved, the natural pressure of the blood against the blood vessels is called the diastolic pressure. As you know everybody in speak- mg o: blood pressure, speaks of the systolic or the high reading, and Dr. Gunewardine, and practically all research physicians are more" concerned with the diastolic 0!‘ the natural blood pressure. Therefore those individuals who have been worrying about systolic blood pressure of 160 t0 200 0i‘ m0“! should first learn whether or not their diastolic blood pressure is 115 or under, because strokes occur very rarely under 115. Another interesting point ob- served is that stroke occurs more often in those cases with hlBh b1°°d pressure which show neither an en- larger! heart nor symptoms of hem failure, and occurs very rarely in those cases where the heart is act- ually enlarged and where there are symptoms of heart failure. This means then that the indivi- dual with actual enlargement of the heart, and active signs of heart disease-shortness of breath, swoll- en feet-is not likely to have a stroke of paralysis. What is the lesson from these observations? Stroke occurs most commonly in people who continue to work or play in defiance of their high dias- tolic pressure, without taking any thought of how easily a. stroke may OCCUR The thought then is that people with a high systolic pressure, but with a. diastolic pressure of 115 or under are not likely to have a stroke. And even if they have 115 diastrolic, rest and care may pre- vent a stroke. are to link it to Manchuria. with u railway 100 miles lonfl- Work i5 $1" ready started on the line.
