To add to the (lifficulty in rationalizing the statement of the Mitiisicr of Defence, it has come out at thc l1caring,—0n the testimony of Government who gave the first machine gun contract to Major Hahn's Company, and that the British Government's order was not placed with that Company till 4 months later. The whole thing looks like an intricate Chinese puzzle, but perhaps it can be worked out in sortie such way as this: Mr. Mackenzie, never having seen Major Hahn nevertheless valued him on the word of his solicitor, Hugh Plaxton, M.P., (Liberal), oom- mended him as a trustworthy contractor to the British Government; believed the British Gov- eminent would, in consequence, get him to manu- facture machine guns for its Ordnance Depart- ment, and on the strength of this expectation gave him a Canadian Government order for 7,- 000 such guns. Then the British Government, observing the confidence the Canadian Govern- ment had reposed in Major Hahn, gave him an order 4 months later for 5,000 of the same kind of guns. Without attempting further to dissect this ex- traordinary series of transactions, or to explain their chronological sequence, or otherwise to correlate their baffling ramifications, one feels constrained to the conclusion that Major Hahn owes a staggering debt of gratitude to Mr. Hugh Plaxton, .\I.P., whose word in season to the Minister of Defence resulted in orders for 12,- 000 machine guns, to be manufactured by a con- cern which had never made a gun, through thc expected operation of a plant not yet in existence Did political patronage ever before produce such a phenomenon? Ottawa Follows Suit .__,___._ The Ottawa Board of Control is following the example of the Charlottetown City Council and has announced that next year and thereafter city taxes in Ottawa may be paid in four in- stalments instead of two. It is a change, says the Ottawa journal, which mos-t people favor, because it is quite clear that for great numbers of property owners it is easier to pay $25 or $50 every quarter than to pay $50 or $100 every six months. The payment of taxes, an unpleasant business at best, should be made as painless as possible.

October 3'7 (GP) — British Empire united in interna- tional relations yet in which each dominion would have complete con- trol over its own affairs was en- vlsionecl by the late Slr Robert Borden. Canada's war-time prime minister. His Memoirs, to be published Nov. 1 by the Macmillan Com- pany of Canada. make it. abund- antly clear he believed representa- tives of the dominions should sit. with representatives of the United Kingdom to decide foreign polic- ies in which they had s common concern. Started 1x1 1928. elftht years LI- ter he retired from active public life, the memoirs disclose that even before the Great War Borden um- ed that Canada have a say in the foreign affairs of the Empire and declared that. when Britain was at war Canada must either be at war or become independent of the Empire. During the War he clashed fre- quently with British ministers, taking the stand that while Can- adians were playing 1m important part in the fighting and the casualties. Canada was being ig- nored ln the direction of the cam- paign. Finally heed was given to his demands, the Imperial war cab- inet was set up and he became a member. The memoirs disclose that.

Moved by Borden and seconded by General Jan Srnuts, representing South Africa, it. urged that. a spe- cial Imperial Conference be called as soon as the war was over to deal with the "readjustment. of the constitutional relations of oom- ponent parts of the Empire." The resolution added that any such readjustment should pmvide for full recognition of the domin- ions as autonomous nations in complete control of their domestic affairs and “should recognize the right of the dominion: and India to an adequate voice in foreign policy and in foreign relations and should rovide effective arrange- ments or continuous consultation in all important matters of com- mon Imperial concern and for such necessary concert/ed action, founded on consultation. as the several governments may deter- mine."

Bill HELPS MAKE BLOOD It. is with difficulty that I pre- vent myself writing about the liver which is rightly called the "king of the organs’. It is, as has been stated so often, the largest organ in the body, holds one quarter of the blood of the body, stores away sugar for future use, manufactures bile to digest fats. prevent constipation. kill harmful u: and help make blood. Notwithstanding that some bile must go down the intestine for purposes above mentioned. Nature considers bile so precious that: when it has done its work of diges- ting foods in the first part of the small intestine. much of 1t is car- ried back immediately to the liver to help form coloring and hemo- globin for the blood. A recent editorial in the Jour- nal of the American Medical As- sociation speaks of the work done on bile by Dr. W. R. Hawkins "and associates University of Rochester. These research workers found that when large amounts of bile were removed from the system. the haemoglobin or iron in the blood was reduced in amount. thus causing thin blood- anaemia.
