Germany if, instead of imposing crippling terms on her, the victorious nations had offered her a true olive branch and helped her toward econo- mic rehabilitation? " - Fancy devastated France and Belgium 0H- ering olive branches to a horde of beaten van- dals! LLovn Gnome, interviewed on this matter, would probably counter with the query: What would have happened if, instead of stopping short of giving Germany a taste of her own medicine in the War, the victorious nations had marched to Berlin, smashed everything before them and dictated such terms as BISMARCK made France s\vallo\v in 1871 ? It is a fair guess that if the Allies had done this, there \\'0uld be no war-mongering dictator- ship in Germany today. Conflicting Statements A handsome picture of Premier CAMPBELL adorns the front page of the current issue of The Maritime Advocate and Bury East, a journal of strong Liberal bias published in Sackville. On page i3 of the same issue appears an editorial headed: “New Brunswick Fights Pluckily, But She Fights Alone." The editorial deals with the attempt at Ottawa to scrap the British North American Act as an Imperial statute. We quote lhe concluding paragraphs : “The astonishing thing is that little old New Brunswick ts the only province which dares to fight for its right-s. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island. and Quebec which might well stand with this province in a. struggle to retain that to which we are justly entitled. are silent and afraid. "All honor is due to Hon. J. B. McNair, attorney geneml and Hon. A, P. Paterson, president of the Council, who are fighting a good fight for New Brunswick. They deserve the hearty support and united co-operatlon, not only of the people of New Brunswick, but oi Canada as a. whole. If a solemn agreement is to be considered as a. mere scrap of paper; 1f New Brunswick is to lose her sovereignty and be- come subordinated to brute majorities, then the sooner we know it the better. Ii this pro- vince is to be clubbed int/o a Legislative Union, then we will become a. subjugated people; we will be obliged to g0 to Ottawa. with our hats in our hands. saying “Please may we do this or please may we stop doing that." “As far as I can see the stand of New Brunswick, as lucidly stated by Messrs. McNair and Paterson, is the only one that a. self-res- pecting province can take. Liberal or Conser- vative panties do not enter into this question; as‘ one man we should stand up for our lib- erties. The shame is that New Brunswick must fight alone." Is this charge correct so far as the Govern- ment of Prince Edward Island is concerned? According to the Ottawa correspondent of the Canadian Press, the ‘Nova Scotia representatives supported New Brunswick at the recent Domin- ion-Provincial conference, against the other seven provinces. The London Free Press, how- ever, is authority for the statement that “the Prince Edward Island Liberal government is joining New Brunswick in protesting the pro- posed changes in the B. N. A. Act.” We sincerely trust that the latter statement is correct, and that the Government of this Pro- vince has retreated from the position ‘it is re- ported to have taken at the December conference, at which New Brunswick was left to fight alone the battle for Maritime rights. In any case; in view of the conflicting re- ports, the elector: have a right to expect a full and flank explanation from Premier CAMPBELL in this tnatter. Here ls A Real Problem Dr. GEORGE A. MORRISON, Lord Twaaos- Mimi's successor as M.P. for’ the Scottish Uni- versities, has earned a continent-wide reputation on account of a problem he set in the House, puzzling the members. This is the problem :—“A man went into a shoemaker's shop and bought a pair of boots for 16s. He put down 1 pound to pay for them. The shoemaker had no change and he went next door to his neighbour, the butcher. He got the change, came hack with it, and gave the boots and 4s to the man who went away. ‘ “Then the butcher ran in to say that the 1 pound was a. bad one. The shoemaker had to make good the pound to the butcher. How much did the shoemaker lose?" _ Dr. MORRISON'S sum was the most delightful problem that has faced M.P.’: for a long time. In the lobbies and libraries afterwards members gathered in little groups, puzzling over the tran- section. ,Dr. Molnusou was busy the whole evening hearing the “answers" to his teaser. Economists and even honours graduates of Oxford went up end told him quite solemnly that the answer was I pound 4s. The answers varied from 4s to as high as 2 pounds and a pair of shoes. One of the few who gave the correct answer at the first attempt was, appropriately enough. 1dr.

The “mass centre" theorist, lecturer at the University of Toronto, says that within a short time he will prove the Einstein theory entirely wrong. In the meantime, he attacks it in a paper to the _Physi- cal Review, entitled: “Non-stationary axially symmetrical solution of the gravitational field equation.” That should settle it. 9K 5K 9E History is repeating itself. Nearly 22 years ago Canada, her “First Contingent" over-en- listed, stopped all recruiting. For the past I8 months Canada has been recruiting again. this time for the Canadian Legion official pilgrimage to Vimy. More than 4,000 returned men and women have signed up, and four big liners, two Canadian Pacific and two Cunard-White Star are practically filled. So a “no more recruits" sign is again hanging up all over Canada. Last Saturday the two steamship lines advised the Canadian Legion that no more applications can be accepted postmarked later than lltlarch I4. Once again a Canadian Expeditionary Force is going to France, and once again Canadians will overfill the convoy. 5K X élé It is not often the country doctor gets his due-or his fees either, for that matter, but here is a tribute to him culled from a contemporary. Through all this bitter weather, and with it fre- quently blizzards and badly-drifted roads and trails, the country doctor has carried on. Bundled and muffled to the eyes, and with unflinching spirit has ridden forth, sometimes in the middle of the night——an “awful night” to be sure—-to minister to someone in danger or inpain. Some- times it has been to bring a new Canadian into the world, sometimes to perform an emergency operation. He has gone to isolated hamlets and to little white homes still standing up bravely in these clays of depression. The “country doctor" still means something in Canada. Blééliélé The Ottawa Journal is kicking against Radio's claim to be an air newsmedium. Criticiz- ing one of the weekly news commentators on this subject our contemporary says: “lf what this commentator knows is what he hears "over the radio" his background of world events is singu- larly limited. Actually, of course, the newspapers are his original source, and he should be frank enough to acknowledge his debt. The Tokyo des- patches announcing that the Japanese Premier had escaped death, was alive and well, were pub- lished everywhere in evening newspapers of Sat- urday-newspapers on the streets before noon. The radio carried this piece of news hours later, and carried it by grace of the newspapers. The Canadian Radio Commission, as has been point- ed out many times, has no facilities for the col- lection of news, either abroad or in this country. That collection is made by the newspapers, at their own very considerable expense, and as a service to the public they make summaries avail- able to radio audiences at regular times. Thus even to suggest that radio is the original source of information is misleading and unfair." r iléilfiifi Our old friend Canon Scorr .of Quebec strongly objects to hanginge-of others of course. If it is necessary to retain capital punishment as a deterrent to the crime of murder, he says, it ought to be administered in the quickest, most painless and least revolting manner possible. Naturally, he cannot speak as an eye witness, but he has first hand evidence of "one poor man, whose neck was. not broken by the fall from the trap, who hung twitching for twenty minutes after the drop; of another in a similar condition whose agony was only stopped by the execution- er clasping the victim's body and by his added weight hastening the end of strangulation; and of a woman whose head was pulled o6 her body.

Three member: of Parltamenl spoke last Monday with the great- est good sense on-t-he duty of Can- ada. in international politics in the course of the Commons debate- Miss MacPhail and Messrs Woods- worth and Douglas. The first duty of Canada. is to mind Canada's business. Before starting to tell or to show other nations how to act in foreign politics Canada should settle her own domestic problems, remembering that she is an Amer- ican country in the first place and that she has an interest naturally limited in what in Europe. Asia and Africa, Great Britain, France, Italy. Russia and Germany do as they intend ix) in matters of their foreign relations.

As the pountry imports flour from Aus- tralia, the policy malt-succeed in ex- tending wheat acreage sumclently to enable New Zealand to supply its own wants. but butter is in a different position because much of it is exported. The fixed price in- volves the purchase of that pro- duct by the government. Says the London Observer: "If the‘ New zeaiand government is to act as _vendor in the flercelv WmDQliW/e world-trade. its proposals will be awaited with interest not unmixed with anxiety."

There ufiould be no question I»! to the necessity for the increased activity in horse production. It takes at least five years to produce and raisz a horse to the age of four years. and the annual wastage of horses in the Dominion clue to old age or other natural causes. is very considerable. While the_ number of horses on farms in June. i935. showed an increare over that of June, 1934. it has taken the tn- creaszd production of colts in 1933 and 1934. to reach the point where the annual increase exceeds the natural wastage 0i maur: ani- mals.

There is a school of thought which believes that the manufac- turing industry shou‘d take prece- dence of agriculture and that‘ agri- culture will never be anything but auxiliary to industry. Things have come to pass during many years that suggest that agriculture could, without damage to world economy. take second place.

SYMPTOMS It has been a. surprise to many that Dr. James Mackenzie was able to teach the medical profession and the world in general so much about the heart because he was a general practitioner. To most physicians the fact that the heart had a murmur- due to a slight leak of one of its valves-was usually enough to have the individual advised to do light work only, and he was also usually rejected from overseas service. Just as a pump with a slight leak _is usually able to pump _‘ water for ordinary needs, so also can a heart with a leaking valve usually pump enough blood for the individuals needs. We are told that Dr. Maokenzieb office was situated at the top of a hill and as his patient had to cltrnb this hill he was able to tell exactly how these hearts would stand hard work or hard exercise because climbing a. hill is hard work. ‘Phus, 1f the patient after climb- lng the hill at the usual or ordinary rate of speed was not greatly out of breath despite a leaking valve with a murmur and was back to its nor- mal rote in o short time after the climb was made, the heart was con- sidered to be in good "working" condition and the patient allowed to do his usual work. _ Dr. Mackenzie was at first sur- prised but finally became quite ac- customed to tlnd hearts with mur- murs, where the individual was doing heavy manual won: every day and had come to him for conditions other than the heart. Physicians are naturally a little anxious about children who have had attacks of rheumatism. which have left a little leak and murmur. However if there have been no rec- ent attacks of rheumatism or St. Vitus’ Dance (chores) it ls not con- sidered a dangerous condition. If however the youngster gets out of breath easily, the heart is very rap- id and somewhat enlarged. care most be take that the child does not work or ay too much. The thought then is that the ability of the heart to perform its work enabling the individual to go about his daily tasks without breathlessness is what really mat- tersf not the fact that it has a leaking valve with a low or loud murmur.

PRDHIIBITION AND SCHOLAR- SHIPS sin-In reference to the Prohibi- tion controversy and scholarships. I wish to say that my statement that. Malcolm MacNelll received a scholarship at Prince of Wales Col- lege is, 1 believe, incorrect. The article tnquestlon was written from memory and I may say that in rel.’- erence to Mr. ManNellYs father, I can find no printed record to can- firm or deny my statement in re- gard to his standing at Prince of Wales College or rather the Old Academy. James MacNelll, his father, was however, considered to be a great scholar in his day. that is. in 00m- parison with the average public. school , " , and held a great re- putation as a. teacher He sent a. large number of pupils to Prince of Wales College, three at least winning scholarships. namely Dr. Donald Darrach, late of Kensing- ton, Rev. A. A. McKenzie. after- wards a. noted Canadian scholar. and his own son Itodertck. This of course has nothing to do with the merits of prohibition but it is in- teresting to residents of West River, especially to those who respect learning. . I need hardly say that I regret my inaccurate and indiscreet state- ment, not so much on Pm Moder- atione‘; account, as from the fact that. it would prove annoying to Mr. McNelll. Pro Moderatlones statement, how- ever, that I "tried to put, one over on the public." is not strictly true, as I began to doubt the accuracy oi the statement a few hours after I sent it to the Guardian, and has- tened to the Guardian ofilce next morning with a revised copy. but found the original one had already appeared in the morning edition of this paper.
