ECONOMY AT OTTAWA Hon. Wesley Gordon, Minister of Immigration and Colonization, told the House of Commons the other day that the appropriation for his department has been l-educed from $3,064,278 in 1929-30 f0 $1,435,842 for 1933-34, and to $1,239,288 for 1934-35.

The Department of Trade and Commerce reports that 1,504 per- sons were employed in the canning and curing of fish in Prince Ed- ward Island last year while 3,194 were engaged in fishing. This is an increase in the number of em- ployed as compared with the pre- vious year, though the value of the product showed a decrease from $988,919 to $542,315, chiefly due to lower prices, since the catch was much the snare, being 223,473 hun- dredweisht. compared with za-tssa hundredweight. . . The quantity of lobsters taken in Prince Edward Island waters in 1933 was 19,547 cwt., s. decrease from the record year 1932 of 23,032 cwt., or 20 per cent. The catch of i933, how- ever, was higher than the average of the preceding five year's. ‘The marketed value of the lobsters in Prince Edward Island is exclusive of the value of a part of the catch which is sold to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick firms for canning, such shipments amounting in 1933 to 15,981 cwt.) being included with the values cf. the provinces where canned and marketed. Cod and her- ring showed increases in catch over the preceding year, while the catch of smells shows a decrease.

Hon. W. Ormsby Gore, in international Affairs (London) Values are all relative. However their appraisement depends upon many a point of view. There are those who would rather spend a. dollar more on a dinner than a pair of slices. And there are those who would forego a new pair of shoes to buy a pot of flowers. Twenty-five cents, spent by a lover of art, to view the marvelous col- lection of objects in the great New York Metropolitan Museum might mean more to some than the ex- penditure of a thousand dollars to vacation in some foreign land. Peo- ple usually buy the things they most want-not the things they most need. A certain hunger must be appeased. A picture, a book, a meal, a flower, the theatre, may do this. People sacrifice more for what they want than for what they ac- tually need. Perhaps, after all, this is but one Way of expressing the truest urse of ones nature. J. A. Spender declares that the history our school children should be taught is the history of the last thirty years. It would be of far more use to them than the dates of "old forgotten things and battles long ago" with which they are lad- en at present. The result of this anctlnt history is to compel them to make their start centuries be- fore their own era. If they started where their fathers, or grandfathers left off, they would make more headway on their own account. The place which newspapers might take in the education of children is suggestec by a. writer in the Midland, (Ont) Free Press. He believes that every school teacher who has charge of children more than ten years old should devote a part of the school day to reading newspapers to them and comment- ing without bias on the information they contain. The writer says: "To- day the well-edited newspaper is really a modern college. I know oi no constant newspaper reader who is not well informed and intelli- gent. Arid I believed that by inter- esting children in the world and its ways early in their lives the school will help them to achieve a breadth of view and a habit of forming intelligent opinions that they would probably gain in no teachers in imparting other need- ful knowledge to them far more easy. Dollfuss‘ luck holds. All the eggs they threw at him missed their mark; attempts to derail his train and blow him up with an infernal machine have been discovered in time. Persistent attempted assassin- ation of a man in Dollfuss‘ position is probably a compliment, but it must become tiresome. The opposi- tion forces are carrying their com- plimentary attentions to the point of flattery and will doubtless be induced to desist by somewhat stern measures. Japan can, if she sets about it, cause Great Britain infinite troub- le commercially, Neverthelem she cannot hope to win in a trade war against a country possessing the experience and the resources of Great Britain. It would be much better for her were Japan to nego- tiate with the British government, as invited to do a year ago. A trade war is as foolish and destructive as armed hostilities. While the United States is In no position to buy heavily of Russian products, it is in a favored position to supply the goods which Russia especially needs. The lack of bal- ance between imports and expors in the post-war trade between the United states and Russia is clearly indicated.

Now this idea. that one side of the brain may be better developed than the other side, and that this causes various mental and physical defects has been believed for s great many years. in faot it is only during the past ten or fifteen years that this idea has been even chal-i lenged. However experiments and investi- gations recently show that there isi no truth in one side of the brain being better than the other, or that left-handed ’s are deficient mentally or physically. Profe Bethe, physiologist, of Frankfort, Germany, has completed some research of this question, his experiments including the examin- ation of a group of children. and a large a “ of students. He says, “The view that left-hand- ed persons are supposed to suffer from physical deformities, mental backwardness, epilepsy, criminal tendencies, cross-eyes, deaf-mutism, stuttering and the like, is discredited by the many distinguished men and women who were and are left-hand- ed. Furthermore, the left-handed persons, as a survey showed, were better in the examinations, on the average, than were the other cases." These facts are now admitted and a youngster who wants to write, draw, golf, pitch a ball, or do any- thing else with his left hand is per- mitted to do so, without any object- ion from the teacher of‘. instructor. It L; certainly gratifying that this idea that a left-handed individual is "defective should be shown to be absolutely false.

One ambitious project which has been carried out is the construction of a tunnel under the River Mersey. connecting Liverpool and Birkenhead, the principal cen- tres of commerce and industry on the Mersey side. It is said to be the largest under-water tunnel in the world and will be officially op- ened by the King and Queen on the 18th of next July. To build the tunnel, two miles in length, it was necessary to remove more than a million tons of solid rock. The great project has been completed at cost of approximately $40,000,000 after eight years work, and is equip- ped to deal with 4,150 vehicles an hour in a four-line traffic stream. Completion of the giant engineer- ing project has solved a 75-year-old problem of cross-river Vehicles will be able to go from Liverpool to Blrkenheiid. and vice versa, in eight minutes.

This is one of the developments of Toron- to's Centennial year celebrations. It is a graceful gesture. ‘This ancient mace has been forgotten by most people, but in its day it was the emblem of constituted authority in this part of the Bfltl-Sh domain. It has been carefully preserved in the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and n0 doubt will return in good condi m . The question now ariscsss, to what to do with this old mace when it does come back. The Federal Parliament has a mace; so has the Ontario legislature. As .ev‘-' -' by procedure at times, the City Council. and particularly the Board of Control. iswithout such an em- blem of authority, and perhaps it would be well t0 have the returned Mace repose on the Clerk's table while the city fathers are doing business. However, the likelihood is that the mace will go to the Ontario Legislature as successor to the Par- liament which sat at York during the American invasion. ‘first would seem to be where it belongs. In 1813 it was the symbol of legislative authority at old York: and when it returns to Toronto it will be the same, wherever it may find a rest- ing place; and it also will have an important sentimental value. As President Roosevelt puts it, “The mace is a. token of representative government establshed at York nearly a century ago. It symbolizes the orderly rule of such govern- ment in Canada, continuing from that day to this." Oliver Cromwell, in his day, did not think much of the mace, but, despite that, the British people continue to hold it in high regard. It is interesting also to note that when the Mnce is returned-likely on July 4 by Hon. W. D. Robbins, United States Minister at Ottawa, there will be unveiled at the Old Fort two tablets in memory of sold- iers who fell during the fighting there so long ago. One of these, in honor of Americans who lost their lives, is being provided by s. wo- men's patriotic society in the Unit- ed States. and the other in mem- ory of the defenders by Toronto Chapter of the I.0.D.E. This an- nouncement by the Centennial auth- orities indicates that the occasion will be unique as bringing together the representatives of two peoples to do honor to those who fell during military conflict between their countries. Time, the great healer of wounds, will give to this ceremony at the Od Fort s. very human and kindy touch. Newfoundland Seal Fishery (Montreal Gazette) Newfoundlanders will be cheered by the success of the spring seal hunt. It is the first fishery of the year and the record of the count, just completed, is that the seal kil- lers brought home a total of 223,- 700 pelts. This is an increase of more than 47.000 over last year's catch. The pelts have an estimat- ed value of $320,000, compared with a return of approximately $200,000 in i933. when the value of the seal oil is added, the ultimate ne- suit will be an appreciable increase in the Island's export trade. New- foundlands sesl fishery has gone on since 1742. For many years it closely rivalled the cod fishery in economic importance.

But in the half-century the fishery has fallen off. The number of skins obtained has not exceeded 250,000 in any year since 1919, and not once in more than a decade has the Island's total export value of seal skins and seal oil reached $1,000,000. In 1930 eighteen steamshrps with a complement of 2,320 men went to the seal fishery. Their “catch” was worth less than $600,- 000. Ten vessels and 1.324 sailors did almost as well the following spring, but in 1932 the hunt was made by only 731 men from four ships. The “bar-vest" on that oc- casion, like the fleet, was the smal- lest on record. Newfoundland that year exported seal skins and seal oil worth only $150,194. Last year two ships and 390 men were added to the hunt. The "bag" was more than doubled. This year eight local- ly-owned steam vessels conducted the fishery and the result, as al- ready recorded. exceeded expecta- tions. Borne speculation is going on at the present time as to the future y. Exper are convinced that there is a main herd of seals which the sealing vessels never mob. But experimen- tal flights by "spotting aeroplanes have so far failed to esablish the cc of such a main herd. Certain hunters, however. remain undisturbed in a belief that there is a central herd "somewhere out of reach," and reaffirm that the sealing vessels only come info con- tact with small from the main body. The Commis- sion Government, which is mak- ing a thorough survey of all the fisheries in search of means that will enable Newfoundland to enjoy a fuller advantage of an industry that is the mainstay of the coun- try, may possibly be able to defin- itely establish whether there does exist a main hcrd of seals which last measures total 1y be inexhaustible. 91.50 Tin FIN!
