TIUIIDAY, MAIEB 19, 198$. ,1‘ hose Calls Upon Governments It is scarcelymecessary to say that The _ Guardian holds ‘no brief for the Liberal admin- ;; istration, federal ~or provincial. Nevertheless, ‘ it becomes a duty to uphold any government ; when it indicates. its intention of acting in I line with its pre-election obligations and assur- ; ances. This, as we see it, is the case with re- gard to the proposed North and West River < bridge projects and the attitude voiced thereon L. by Premier CAMPBELL on Tuesday. The advant- ~ ages of the projects are unquestionable. But "lso far as the electors generally‘ are con- cerned, the first duty of the present Govern- ‘ ments, provincial and federal, is to implement .lliflllllll!‘lilllllllllilfvlfifiiiir i their election pledges. Chief among these pledges ‘ was that of a balanced budget, to be obtained by pOiiClflS variously interpreted but mainly and specifically by “retrenchment of public expend- iture.” The -wisdom of following such policy in view of so many needed improvements and so much unemployment may be open to ques- tion. What is not open to question is the nian- date \vhich both Governments have received, to retreiich and economize, notwithstanding all the pressure that may be brought to bear from those within or without the Liberal party. Our Boards of Trade should be the first to uphold the government's hands in this connec- tion. It will be recalled that two years ago, at the instance of the Canadian Chamber of Com- merce and Boards of Trade, an address was given here by Sir HENRY DRAYTON on the dis- astrous efiect of governments acceding to “ill considered requests made time after time” for public expenditure. Sir HENRY pointed out that i for ‘the last 2o years, for every $100 of revenuo received our governments have spent $134 throughout Canada, and that the net result has been a per capita debt of $600, “I hope," he said, "there are no requests going today for fur- ther services or for further expenditures in this fair Province. Make up your minds, for the sake of the country's credit as a whole, to make no requests for any further expenditure at all until this crisis is past." ' Commenting on Sir HENRi/s address. the late Hon. Mr. LEA recalled that when the Liberal Government was last in office, no fewer than eight resolutions were presented by the Boards of Trade for projects involving increased ex- penditiire. Consider what the demand has been all over Canada, from organizations urging rc- trenchment and economy in one breath, and in- creased expenditure for pet projects of (twir- own in the other, and one can understand, to some extent at least, the nightmare nature of the problem which governments have had to face! This was evidently in the mind of the Hon, C- A- DUNNING. Finance lvlinister, when he re- marked caiistically in the House of Commons the other day: "It seems to be my lot these days to meet deputations and to hear represeii- tations both in the House and outside it asking for one of two things, either more expenditure of funds from‘ the public treasury or a redut. tton in the taxes which contribute to the public treasury." The same experience faced Mr. DuNN1Nc.’s immediate predecessor in office. We do not re- call that the Liberal party, then in Opposition, didjlnything except to embarrass the admiiiis- tration and exploit every grievance, real or im- aginary, for political purposes,’ That, however, is not the Conservative attitude in Opposition. In the same debate -from which Mr. DuNNmcfis remarks above quoted are taken, Rt. Hon. R. B. BENNETT made a statement which aptly sums up what we have in mind. “I am not one of those," said Mr. BENNETT, "who urge upon the occupants of the treasury benches that they should do this and that because it is the popular thing to suggest. The government must in the very nature of things be in a position to deter- mine what action may be taken. We who sit in other parts of the house must not fail to realize that upon the treasury benches there falls a great and ever increasing responsibility; in the ultimate analysis the determination of what is to be done with the taxes raised must rest with those responsible for the raising of those taxes. If we asked blindly that the government pay out ' half a million dollars, six hundred thousand or seven hundred thousand dollars to a particular agency to effect aparticular purpose, we might be asking them to do something practically be- yond their power.and be embarrassing the ad- ministration instead of assisting with the busi- ness of the country.” Our PorkiMarkets Threatened Excerpts from Hansard in today’s GUARDIAN throw a revealing light on the Washington trade treaty so far as it concerns the interests of Can- adian pork producers. The situation is briefly as follows: During the. past few years the price of pork in Canada hasbeen ‘regularly from three cents to four and one-half cents per pound high- er than in the neighbouring Republic. That has been the cue ever since the late government the tariff in the intereutfof pork raiaers on Canadian farms. Before the higher duties were ' » .- some 14,000,000 pounds of United pork used to flood the Canadian market ,, .» Since the duty was raised, however. " g ' imports have been reduced to , the Canadian tanner has en- of tho-Canadian market, and ,1 - the preference in the llllnby lhdOttaw-a Under the new trade treaty, however, the situation will be totally changed. The Canadian duty against the United States product drops from five cents per pound to one and three- quarter cents per pound. That is the figure at which it stood when 14,000,000 pounds of Am- , erican pork used to flood the market of the Do- minion annually. The United States Secretary of Agriculture, Hon. HENRY WALLACE, was quoted in the debate as holding out to American farmers that not only would they be able to find a large market for pork in Canada, but that they would also be able to participate indirectly- in the benefits hitherto reserved to Canada unler the Ottawa agreements. In the past couple of years the United $tates, in order to maintain pork prices at all, have had no alternative to destroy- ing hundreds of thousands of hogs. Hon. Mr. \VA1.1.AcE now holds out the prospect of» the States being able to ship its surplus pork to Can- ada in future. This is the danger confronting our pork producers, which the_K1No Government seems completely to have ignored.

The causes na- slgned are as numerous all those of- fering them. We lack the vision and courage to see the cause where 1t really lies, 1n the heart of man. The root causes are human selfish- ness and greed, the uncontrolled profit motlve, individual, corporate, national and international. The rich are not the only victims of avarice. The well-to-do and even the poor are infected with the poison. The Great War was caused by international avafclousuess. which has left. all nations burdened with debt. The ttempt of the vic- tors to make Germany pay a fan- tastic amount of reparation has‘ mnde matters worse.

ECZEMA It ls estimated that a little moi-r than half the patients who consult physicians have, after careful exam. fnntlon. no organic trouble. The very fact that this exammntlon re- vealed no trouble ls often enough to quiet the fears of a large pgrcgnt. age of these cases. Similarly 1t 1s estlrnated that n little more than half the skin all- ments exlstlng are due to eczema. i: the cause of this eczema 1s sought it can usually be found and relief ‘gtv- en to the patient, as many eczema patients consider their skln eruption as likely to be of n cancerous or tuberculous nature, and are natur- ally much upset. Most skln specialists believe that eczema is caused by the way the body handles certain foods. There cant be anything wrong with the foods because others eat these same foods without havl .,, nny symptoms such as eczema or indigestion. This is in llne with the fact; that we all breathe tn the pollen of ragweed in the late summer and early autumn and yet only one 1n every flve or stir ls troubled with hayfever; the other four or nve have no symptoms whatever. Just as hay fever patlenta by avoiding pollen by going to certain districts or living for s certain number of hours dolly 1n rooms which filter out the pollen, so also can many eczema patients be cured by nvoldlng certain foods. The big point of course 1s to find the particular food or foods caus- tng the trouble. In babies and little children ft has been found that in an effort to keep up their weight the youngsters have been given too much food. Avoiding overfeedtng and using skimmed mtlk or butter- milk instead of whole lnllk cures a number of cases. If this does not xlve results other foods-eggs, cer- tain types of flour foods, and cer- tain kinds of prepared milks-which may be the cause. wlli have to be searched for and avoided. _ In older children, particularly of the nervous type, eczema ls often cured by the use of s. vegetable diet. Notwithstanding the fact that the food treatment and the use of gland extracts give good results, inost skin specialists still advise (be use of various olntments containing sul- phur, ztnk, tar and other substance to help correct the skln condition itself. ‘ EARTH LOVER Earth. send your gentlest ministers ‘llothls plot whleh now ls hers.
