L A BUSY SESSION I . pn the eve oi yesterday's preroga- tion of Parliament a conmrehensive review of the activities oi the ses- sion was prepared by the Canadian 0d in Tuesday's Guardian, bears out the introductory statement as to the far reaching importance of the meas es introduced. Many of the bills had for their purpose the betterment of economic conditions, and among these none and fishery producers than the Na- tural Products Marketing Act. The- purpose of this measure, which met - with the support of the Progressive 7 and Labor members as well as Con- " servatlves, is to give unorganized , producers, such as our farmers, Ldairymen, and fishermen, those ad- vantages that the manufacturers and others who do business on a. large scale derive from modem commer- cial methods.

However, the bill carried by sweeping majorities, and its operation is being looked for- ward to with great interest and ex- pectation. Admi/ttedly an experi- ment, the Act may require to ba amended from time to time, but it " is generally admitted that it repre- sents a praiseworthy effort to better the economic position of those who are engaged in the production of the country's basic wealth. Other measures of far reaching Importance include the establish- ment of a Central Bank. farm mort- gage debt adjustment legislation, a $40,000 public works programme for relief purposes, new and simplified methods of compiling voters’ lists, a new Companies Act to harmonize the corporation laws oi the provinces and the Dominion, important amend- ments to the Criminal Code, Excise and Customs Acts, and a long list oi other statutory changes and consol- idations. In addition, Parliamentary committees have been exceptionally busy. One conducted under the chairmanship of Hon. H. H.

I Sir,--In the latter part of the eighties the Liberal Party was Basin in the throes of revolution. ‘Ihelr Iable leader, Hon. Edward Blake, was too loyal to the Empire to sanction the inherent trend oi many leading lieutenants to United States domin- ation. He also foresaw the futility oi dielodging Canada from its Na- tional Policy and its proven bul- warks of prosperity. In his gre Malvem speech he -‘ minced th gyrations, their abandonment of fundamental principles oi Liberal- ism. and resigned his leadership. The Party's quandery was great. Quebec was the Gibralter of ‘Protec- tion and Conservative support. Only a breach into this stronghold would offer a shadow of hope. Every con- trivance of policy and every man- oeuvre catch-vote trap setting had failed. The powerful cooperation of Fielding Premier oi N. 8.; Blair irl N, 13.; Mercier in Quebec; Green- way in Manitoba and Smythe-Davie in B. C. Every Province in Canada except P. E. I., all strongly Liberal was insufficient to defeat the Con- ‘servative party at Ottawa. Some schemes must be improvised to get a foothold in Quebec. There was dearth oi material for leadership. A French-Canadian, 1i available, might help to turn the tide. Sir Wilfred Laurler (then plain Wilfred) was selected. He was a young and promising barrister, but at that time considered of mediocre ability. There was discontent in many quarters oi the Liberal ranks and gravest fears that he wanted the weight and ability to qualify for to look into the matter a little, for none oi us would just like to say, that it oughtn't to be possible.| Probably it would make a very good, test of the quality and reality of, our religion to try to discover‘ whether we can or cannot do this very thing. -* 1 “Communism and Fascism de- pend ultimately not on argument but on force,’ and it is their con- stant aim to discredit, as a hind- rance to action, the historical Brit-l ish method of moulding public opinion and arriving at great de—| cisione by means of free debate and open discussion," writes Mr. Bald- win the first issue of Politics in Review. .

Dr. Mann is a liberal and a staunch demo- crat, and for such men there is no place irl Germany under the Hit- ler regime.

Events disproved this. for in rapid strides he advanced into the front ranks oi Canadian statesmen until he and his great colleague Fielding became the recognized out- standing stalwarts not only of Lib- the history oi Canada. In this revolution the new name, "Reform Party" became more obsol- ete. and the old appellation “Lib- eral" returned into greater prolnln- ence. While the party itself was in the throes of “Reiorm", so sadly needed, the name Liberal, which burlesqued the attitude of the party, because of its traditions was esteem- ed more potent of appeal than an- nexationist or radical, and so em- blazoned on their show cards. With this last shake up came the need for another policy. Tariff and Revenue was a defeated horse and pitched head foremost into the dis- card already overloaded with the dumped policies of the past. They began to look to the United States for help. Those to the south of us began to look with envy upon Can- ada's prosperity under Conservative rule. Covctous eyes were turned on our great natural resources and vast fields of production. With Yankee vision of the almighty dollar they would fain possess these sources of wealth. Reciprocity was always a taking card to Canadians. And ro the Lib- erals, under United States inspira- tion, and some claimed with the help of American Golden Eagles, launch- ed their chart for victory in "Un- restricted Reciprocity." The word, "Unrestricted" was the rock upon which the Liberal opportunisls‘ ship was again wrecked. It was a "jug- handled" policy highly beneficial to the States, and of very limited lcen- cflt to Canadian agriculture, while it carried an assurance of ruin to our growing industries. A reciprocity in ‘products which would have been of benefit to both countries would have met greater favor with electors, but their United States allies wanted to hog the whole show and our voters were wise enough to see through the scheme and tum it down. A notable difference betwene Lib- erals in those days and that oi the present generation is in the fact that they considered up to the nineties that a policy of some sort was an es- sential. while the Mackenzie King and W. M. Lea. Liberals believe in hatching out political chickens with-' out_ eggs. They ignore the need of a constructive policy, and run their iwhole shows on the subterfuges of obstruction. and right or wrong to oppose every measure proposed to aid the people of the country and help our commerce and agriculture» out of the quagmire of the world's depression. Defeated on every hand, downed in every election tric-k, every contriv- ance of policy shattered and scatter- ed to the winds. there remained no hope for the Federal Liberals ever attaining power. It was a forlorn hope, and nothing seemed in store for the future, unless some uniorseen streak of luck intervened and so, like the immortal McCawber they waited till something might turn up.

EDUCATING THE EMOTIONAL AS WILL A8 THE INIILLECTUAL Itisnowknowntoallofusthat the only diflerence between those inside the mental hospital and those oi us on the outside is that we on the outside have learned how to get flung or adjust ourselves more or less well with our neighbours and the world in Bencral. and the ones on the inside can come out when they have learned to do so. Dr. Frederick L. Patry, Psychia- trist or Mental Specialist, University of New York, says, “In general, we may say that our success in adjust- ment to life depends in the main upon (l) the stufl out of which we are made; what our parents gave us; (I) the type and quality of the moulding influences and experiences we received in the home, school, and community, and how well we learned the lemons from these influences and eimeriences; (3) our feelings, attitudes, and habits; (4) the extent and quality of choice, decision, the way we are, or have been, using the powers we possess. Fbr many years educators have been bent upon educating the intel- lect as if intelligence was the same as mental health, whereas mental health is shown in our everyday be- havior. We live to gratify our wishes. longings, desires, cravings and urges. We do not, for the most part, live by what we know but by how we feel. Thus how we feel toward a number of things of which we can take our choice, is shown by the way we act or behave. Dr. Patry therefore suggests that the emotions should be educated to at least the same degree as the in- teliigenoe. The emotions must be or- ganized into reasonable degrees or patterns of control if we are to live happily and effectively as parts of our community. This simply means that you and I take a look at ourselves—habits, longings, disposition, our help or lack of help to others—and learn to con- trol and guide these emotions and habits so that we may "become in fact what we are in possibility." We should see also that our youngsters go to school, play games, take their share of work and res- ponsibillty, so that the education of their emotional life will equal that oi their intellectual life. Parliament And Its Critics (Ottawa. Journal) Judging from Friday's scenes in the house of Commons. the nerves of our legislators are becoming frayed. And small wonder.

They do the real hard work of Parliament. Mr. Jackson Dodds, General Manager of the Bank of Montreal, spent a great deal of the session with the Commitee on Banking and Commerce. In London the other day he spoke of the exhausting character oi the committee's work, paid tribute to the industry andl de- votion of its members. And the Committee on Banking and Com- merce was not the only committee. Inaddition iihere were the com- mittees on railways, on agriculture, on the Civil Service, on radio, 0n other matters.

To ma-ke an extreme illustration, would it be more worth-while to‘ hear Kreisler or Paderewski putting- all the finish and feeling of which he was capable into a piece of rag- time or one of the less inspired Vic- torian tunes—would it be more worth-while to hear this than to hear a piece of first rate music, a Bethovan sonata or a bit of Chopin, given as bad a. performance as was consistent with the player's getting through the piece at all? More peo- ple would probably vote for the for- mer than for the latter alternative. This is a. point not. without prac- tical significance; fir-st. because that opinion if widely held discourages the amateur cultivation of music by the player of only moderate ability; second, because it encourages the great performer to fob ofl indiffer- ent music on his audience on the plea that the playing's the thing. Let us consider these two ox- tremes of musical performance- good playinz of bad music and bed Playing of good. On the one hand, the great player-or conductor for the situation is the same with rc- gard to orchestral muslc—gives us the benefit of his special powers of technique and interpretation to as- sist us in EFBSPiHE the ideas of someone whose medium of expres- sion is musical tones. As with all the arts, the ideas worth express- ing must partake of noblcr and more permanent than] ordinary minds are capable of, or‘ necessity for the artist disappears, as we should all be able to hear these ideas without him, and create them, too. With some arts. paint- ing, for instance. the same artist is creator and interpreter at once. The composer and the player oi music are generally two persons. But the analogy suggests that we cannot have music worth hearing» unless both contributors are worth listen- ing to.

We have all at times heard exquisite music so played as to leave most of us, completely unmoved and some of the more sensitive disappointed be- yond words. Here too the dual na- ture of musical creation is bound to affect the result, Muslccanhot real- ly exist till it has been given ut- terance through instruments. It is the mould only that we see in the notes on paper, and though the ex- perienced can read much fuom the mould about the probable appear- ance of the final product, the ac- tual thing comes into being only during the brief moments of its performance. Music, even if it can hardly be made without the prim- ary inspiration of a great mind to compose it, cannot come into ex- istence at all without a sufficiently gifted interpreter Both alternatives viewed thus ‘in the abstract. result in a stalemate- In actual life there is naturally a good deal of leeway in both direc- tions. The good player can vary his choice considerably without giving us music that Ls pure waste of time. Conversely, good perform- ances of excellent music can be had from all sorts of players who do not come within the class of the great virtuosi. The crux of the matter is: Concerning which is it more import ant to us that he should be of the ‘first rank,—the composer who is being interpreted or the player who is giving the interpretation? The order in which the two make their contribution perhaps suggests the answer. We can have great music in the mould. as it were. ready for performance, by anyone able to iiiterpret it even if it is do- ing no good for lack 0f such an interpreter. But no amount of skilled players would be of much use in the world without the mat- erial at hand to exercise their skill upon. Between good and bad music there is a difference in kind. Be- tween a good and a bad perform- ance the diflerence is merely one of degree. It is the interpretation rather than the material that ap- pears io leave the greater room for possible variation within the limits of what can still be called real music. It is better to have a lesser mind trying to expound real music to us than a first rate mind dis- coursing trifles. The corollary seems to be that the healthiest state of music is that which gives the greatest encourage- ment to the amateur performer to play both for others and for his own satisfaction. In the realm of music the only playing that is real- ly bad and that comes near to ful- filling the definition referred to. oi’ great music poorly played. is the truly and utterly soulless. Faultsl of technique are to be regretted,‘ certainy, because they hamper the free expression of the player's ideas; but genuine feeling on his part for the spirit of tile music can surmount many grave faults of that kind and successfully convey something of the same spirit to the listener. Have we not often. after amateur performances, fell. how much more enjoyable it is to hear a sympathetic. if faully, rendering than a technically perfect and completely expressionlcss one? And even the pleasure of the listener is in many ways less than the joy to be obtained from inking a hand in the actual making of music. When The Ice Goes Out (New York Sun) .
