THE BETTER OUTLOOK
The trade reviews appearing in

of the yeur are noticeable for
their hopeful outlook, though def-
inite predictions are notindlllged

ject only, relying more on promise
than achievement. Oxford is “apt

if all the charges that could be pre-
ferred against this self-styled
apostle of "non-violence" were actu-
ally brought and proved it might be
necessary to execute him, and that
the autllorities are unwilling to go
to this extreme. More important
than the fate of Gandhi however is
the fact that his campaign has been
repudiated by :1 large section of his
own collntrynlrn.
Gandhi‘s pose as a saint and mar-
tyr is still taken seriously by some
American critics of Britain's policy
ln India. But itymight well be asked
what possible concession Britain
could give that it has not already
offered to illc Nationalist faction
Gandhi returned home to proclaim
to 50,000 Nationalist Hindus the vir-
tues of zl. renewed faith in “God,
peace and non-violence." Almost in
the same bl~eath`he told his follow-
ers that the British ordinances
against organized terror and assas-
sination are “inhuman and desper-
ate;" and declared he "would not
hesitate to sacrifice a million lives
as the pricc of lndifl’s liberty."
When Gandhi landed in Bombay,
to be met. by his 50,000 Hindus, he
was met also by a thousand Un-
touchables carrying black flags
against him and his Nationnlist
policies. There are sixty millions of
them ill all Indio, and they repud-
late his claim to SPCSK f01` mem
and their destiny.
What would thc pcoplc do, who

by the reluctance of the British to
relax the hold of a hundred and
fifty years? 'lhe MoslcrlLc:lgllc,re-
presenting between seventy and
eighty million people of thc Islamic
faith, has just rcnollnccd "Swami,"
which is the policy of complete in-
dependence for Illdia, and is the
doctrine of Gandhi. The Moslem
League has proclaimed its ideal as
responsible govemment, with ade-
quate safeguards for Moslems and
the other Indian minorities. Gandhi
can not speak for these peoples. If
Gandhi and his Hindus were left
alone in India to deal with the Mos-
lems, they might evoke a terrible
mswer to the false cry of non~viol-
mee.
RHODES SCHOLARS
In an article on the Rhodes
: iiolarshlos in Queen'-i Quarterly.
:.l Englishman who had been an
Oxford "Scholar" explains that the
Rhodes men are treated as "Com-
t Oxford. And it is primarily thc
broadening and dcepenillg effect of
a classical cultural training that
the Rhodes Scholar is sent to Ox-
ford to acquire.
A TASK WELL DONE
The Canadian Tuberculosis As-
sociation, in “Seasons Greetings,"
reports that its task is well in hand.
Last Autulnn the Government in-
voked unelnploynlent aid in con-

BLOOD PRESSURE
_,m .
You may sometimes wonder just
present World Charm M50, IL mlghqwhat is meant by blood pressure;
normal, low, or high blood pr-eg-
sure,
- Blood pressure means just what
you think it means, that is the pres-
sure or force of the blood as it flows
through the vessels. If you were tg
put a bent glass measuring tube into
any flowing stream you could meas-
ure the force of the stream by sec-
rlg holv high up the tube the fluid
However it must be remembered
hat the blood is not flowing down a.
mooth hill in an opeu stream but
has a number of factors interfering
with its flow. In other words it has
to flow against these dlnerent things
that resist it; the resistance of the
walls of the vessels, and sometimes
these walls, which contain elastic
tissue, partly close themselves, thus
making it hard for the blood to flow.
With the heart pumping the normal
quantity and quality of blood with
normal force, and the walls of the
blood vessels stretching more widely
open as the blood flows along, what
is called normal blood pressure re-
suits.
Where there is an increase of
blood in the vessels, and the blood
vessels haw not as much elasticity
in them owing to their natural lin-
ing belng replaced by s. limo like
substance, or if the elastic tissue is
all right but some influence-gland
inf‘luenee~makes the walls of the
blood vessels contract or close up
the vessels too much, than high
blood pressure naturally results as
the heart tries hard to force the
blood through these partly closed
vessels.
On the other hand, not eating
weakens the muscular power of the
heart, such as an infection. anything
that lessens the amount of blood in
the vessels, like a great loss of blood,
or anything that dilates or opens the
blood vessels will lower the blood
pressure.
Now you can at once see that a
very simple condition such as ex-
citement or emotional disturbance
acts on certain glands, which manu-
facture a substance that causes the
elastic walls of the blood vessels to
contract or close more, and the
blood pressure becomes high.
O nthe other hand, not eating
enough food may take some of the
strength or tone out of the elastic
walls of the blood vessels, and they
do not contract or close sufficiently
to make enough resistance to the
blood. Low pressure results.
You must of`\_eourse remember
that high and low blood pressure
may bc due to some ailment or ail-
ments. Your physlclan can usually
discover these ailments for you.

Minding Your
The soldier who stayed st lu
sentry p08t Outside St. James' Pal-
ace, while l. burglarly was going on
in full view avross ths street, has
achieved a notable performance in
several aspects of life and affairs.
1-fo has won the eommendatlon of
his officers. who said he did right
tl; mind his own business. He has
supplied an entertaining story_ for
the newspapers. 1-fe has provided an
occasion for comment which no
commentator, amid the present dis-
contents, can afford to isnor. and he
has probably started a considerable
controversy.
It was said once of a. certain
politician that he was exlpressll'
fitted by nature to stand on one
side of the street and watch a
house burn down on the other.
That, of course, from the point of
view of people who go on from n
dislike of war to a dislike of sold-A
iers, is the sort of thing that this
Royal Guaxdsman really achieved.
He stood at his post, and he watch-
ed a party of gentlemen oracksmen.
regular Raffleses, evening dress and
opera hats and all, smash a tobac-
conlst's shop window, and get a-
way with thousands of expensive
cigars. He stayed at his post, and
he dluy reported thc incident as
unusual occurrence," within the
meaning of Kings Regulations and
Orders, when he was relieved, \
This, for the decrier of the mil-
itary vlrtue and military tradition,
will simply be no virtue at all, It
will be said that the soldier might
have saved loss and prevented
crime. It will be said that this de-
votion to the literal command of
duty was pedsntic and stu/pid and
worthless. It will be exhibited _sc a
conspicuous example of the military
mind in being, and it will bc ex-
hibited as something utterly incom-
prehensible to men with s useful
Job to do in the world. .
Nevertheless, them is an instinct
in‘most of us which will applaud
thts soldier who stuck to his post.
It is not alone. as his officers were
quick to remark. that he may have
prevented who-knows-what treas-
ons and stratagems by not desert-
ing his post. There is also the re-
flection that lf he had gone across
the road he might have been beat-
en up by the oracksmen, and so
brought a double dlshonor upon the
army. But the real strength of his
position was that he did verltably
mind his own business, -according
to his duty and his station and his
function. Tiiere is 9, great comfort
in this orderly military mind, which
details one man to guard-St. James'
Palace, come what may and to the
death if need be, and which says,
as to irrelevant burglaries - across
the road: Every man to his own
detail.
The Unknown
Labrador "
(Winnipeg Free Press)
The Labrador season is short.
Spring comes in June, .end by
September winter is upon you.
The risks are so many and the
chance of rescue so remote that
the dice are always leaded against
the pedestrian explorer. It may be
a bud game ycar. In such A
season even the native Indians
starve to death. Mr. J. L. Paton,
writing in the Manchester Guard-
ian, recalls how Hubbard and his
complnions perished from hunger
in 1902 because they were wind-
bound for a couple of weeks when
thc. winter cold set in and the
running water streams beside them
were already too cold for trout.
Those who do not know them can
hardly realize the violence of the
winds, especially in winter. The
Indian name of one of the inl~nd
lakes, M’stasln, is said to mean
“Where thc wind blows everything
from the ground." A disabled
ankle, the overscttlrlg of n boat rm
one of the rivers, an attack of
lumhvgo, any mishap in i*self in-
considerable will impel-il the lives
of a small party.
Last year Mr. Donald B. Mao-
Mlllan, the well-known Arctic ex-
plorer and scientist, made rep-
aratipns to c‘l'ry out an airplane
survey of the Labrador. He was
‘already well-acquainted with the
Labrador coast and closely associ-
ated with the work of the Clrenfell
lMlssion. It was through convers-
ation wlth Blr Wilfred Grenfell
that he undertook the survey; st
the same time Captain D. S. Bon-
durant has -ttacked the same
problem from the south. His
main interest was prospecting.
Alreadyy in 1929 he was the avi-
ator of an organized expedition,
making his bas: on Lac Menihek.
There were three ’pl“nes, twn of
which wel-cr used principally for
bringing up gasoline and other
5\ll7Dlics to the bafe. With. the
third he moved his parties of
l>l'°lD¢ctors up and down the iron
range and explored the surround-
ing country for minerals.

Captain Bondura.nt’s report is that
even if the Grand Falls was not
there, there would still be in New-
foundland Labrador an abundance
of water power greater than can
be found in a similar area in any
part of the world, In any case
the Grand ‘Falls remains the
greatest of all the sights of Labra-
dor.
