Germany had agreed to purchase 100.000 bags of Brazilian colfc for re- sale to Central European countries. 1\Ir, Villcla. acting Minister bf Finance, informed the Bank of Brazil that, regardless of the stage of tli1- negotiations, they should be ended. Germany of- fered some time ago to purchase 3011010 bags of coffee. tising compensated marks. This coffee.

The complete success which attended the recent experimental flights of the Cambria and Caledonia, in co-operation with Pan-American Airways, between Canada and Britain, with the prospect of a regular service next summer, and the ultimate establishment of a trans-Pacific service from Canada to China and the Antipodes, combine to indicate the im- portancc of early action by the Canadian Gov- ernment in establishing an attractive schedule of air mail rates across the Atlantic. n- a- 1r Using modern Western terms, the misfortune of China is the thing of which China used to boast formerly and of which the great majority of the Chinese people are probably still proud at heart. China in the long run is never con- quered. She ends by conquering her conquerors. With the vast coils of her population and liei‘ ancient civilization she encircles her invader, isolates him; and ends by absorbing him. It may take a few hundred years more or less, but what is that to China? We of the West arc too impatient for such Fabian campaigning. We may admit that in the long run the Chinese people come out on top, but it is not a pretty picture while the process is under way. China in tlic squared ring with Japan does not impress. l-ler antagonist is out for immediate results. ja- pan is always trying for a knockout. China has not yet succeeded in shaking off the lassitude which comes from an inner certainty of victory —a couple of hundred years hence. ‘ U U U Hon. C. A.

I have written before about the raw apple diet for diarrhoea in in- fants and children. The raw alzpe absorbs organisms and collects mucous, thus cleaning out the bowel and giving it a fresh start. as it were. The raw apple diet is now 1n use in both Europe and Amer- -ca. ' What. may prove equally help- ful in stomach and intestinal dis- turbances in children is a diet. of bananas instead of raw apples. or a combination of apples and ba- nsmas. Theophil Baumann in one of the European journals of childrens’ diseases states that. the raw banana diet has certain ad- vantages over the raw apple diet in the treatment. of chronic 1n- testinal disturbances of children. "Bananas are readily eaten by chddren. do not irritate the in- iestlne, and have a high food va'ue thus preventing acidosis due to hunger. Bananas are rich in min- erals and in nitrogen wlfch pre- vents any rapid loss of wright. There are also better foi‘med stools, and less gas formation with the bananas." It ls in children over nine months that the banana, the raw a-stile. o1‘ the ni-ple powder is best suited; the diarrhoea is more qu‘ckl_v controlled and there ls less chance of it returning, "To obtain the best results. after an interval of six to t-ivelve hours tin which only tea is given) raw thousands of Ontario farmers em- 11-11115 and 1H, 1115111,; sawharlne lglfllfd l0 11W WP-“il l0 make instead of sugart are given for their fortunes. and many of them achieved their ambition.

Eixctse tax revenues have increased by $10,125,000 and excise duties by $1,800,000. All this makes a beautiful story. No doubt the Minister of Finance needs it all. But it all constitute a very heavy exaction of tribute from the people. The other day a. man received a bill for a well built boat lie had ordered earlier in the year. He was quoted a price for the boat. and when he got the bill, he found that. the price did not include the salas tax. which was added, and which amounted in this case w, $7.84 There was in black and white, clear reminder that when one bought. a boat or it might have been anything else, one had to pay the government, suotantislly for the privilege. Had it been a $3.000 motor launch, the tax would have been $240. , l1. is an exception when the pur- chaser is reminded that. on what he buys the government takes an eight per cent, lmpost.

The merchant. has had his price and it ls paid, but in that. price is hidden that. eight per cent. which the government, takes and which the purchaser never thinks about. It relates to all purchases, large and small, with few minor exceptions. The eight per cent. srles tax is inordin- arily high and is too much. It is a tax which does not. spread it- rclf properly. Take the bachelor with a $3.000 salary on or the married couple without children, sometimes both of them earning salaries and compare their status with the man who has to buy shoes and clothes for five, six or more children, and generally that man has a much smaller wage in- come than the average. On the multiple purchases the family man makes of necessity, he is soaked the eight per cent. which he can ill afford. And yet. in the families of this country. lies its real destiny. True the bachelor and married couple without. without children pay a moderate income tax, but they have the svhcrewlth to pay and they unquestionably escape the incidence of taxation in many other ways. With bouyant revenues, and the promise of a balanced budget. it. would seem l0 be is clear case for the Finance Minister to appreviably reduce the sales tax of eight. per cent. It would be in the interest of all budness to do s0. And if the people of the country could only be made tax conscious. realiz- ing that. 0n everything they pur- chase the government took e. tribute of eight cents on the dollar, public opinion would seen force the reduction. _____________ CRJTICIZES MODERN your" CAPE TOWN -(CP) —Modern youth came in for 50mg harsh criticism when Rev.
