"Canadians, regardless of party af- filiations. \yill_s_inoerely moum the death of Hon. James Alexander Robb. Finance Minister in the Mackenzie King Government since 1925. The late Hon. Mr. Robb was an outstand- ing figure in Parliament, a man of few words but of recognized ability and integrity, and one who has been a tower of strength to the Liberal party in Federal politics. Mr. Robb was admittedly not an orator, but in his quiet way. and with his newr- failing courtesy and business like manner, he invariably made a good platform impression. In the House. since his assumption of the import- ant duties of Finance Minister. in which he succeeded the ablest nnan- Mr. Robb distinguished himself by‘ the conciseness and cleamess of his the Federal Department of Agricul- ture. By quality is meant food value, freedom from dirt, keeping quality. safety to heal:h. and freedom from off-flavors and odors, and the meth- ods by which these qualities are ns- certained make very informative reading. In the earlier days of the dairy lndustry. information as to the quality of a given lot of _milk could be obtained only through the senses of taste. smell and sight, no other means _ being then available for the purpose. with the development of the sciences of bacterlology and chenllstry within recent years, however. more exact methods of testing have been devised to supplement the earlier ones. For these scientific tesLs in order to pro- tect the consumer from dirty. badly corltarninated or adulterated milk.

There has been mllch criticism of Mr. R.obb's tariff policy and much, from the Conservative standpoint and irl view of the present tariff sit- uation between Canada and the Un- ited States. which justified severe criticism. Nevertheless. Mr. Robb will go down in political history as one of the ablest men of his party and pos- sibly the ablest in the Government in which he served. His virtues as al politician were his own, his faults were largely those of the party to, Which he belonged.

SIR HENRY DISCOVERED. Hon. J. H. Thomas, now Unemploy- ment Minister ln the Ramsay Mac- Donald Governmerlt, is the mall to whom Canada is indebted for >Sir Henry Thornton. according to estate- ment made by Premier King at Prince Albert. Saskatchewan last_week. Mr. Thomas md Mr, King. it seems, had been friends cf long standing, and a letter from the former to the latter` itlfhefi the trick. Mr. Thomas wrote his appreciation of Sir Henry from the viewpoint of organized labor, He said that he knew of no man so fair a: between management and em- ployees, a better organizer or a more capable ex- ecutive. This recommendation was hated on the experience Mr. Thomas, as head of a great labor organization. had had with Sir Henry as manager of one of Englandb great railway systems. Today. in addition to the health de partments, up-to-date milk dealers are making use of these tests to pro- tect oonsumer, dealer, and careful producer alike. Success depends largely upon both dealers and produc- ers being familiar with the principles involved, the tt-.sts available. and their relative' suitability, for, only under these conditions can best results be expected. There still appears. how- ever. to be general lack ‘of exact ln- formation on the part of those prim- arily interested. and the aim of the bulletin. issued by the Federal De- partment is to present in unbiased fashion salient features in connection with milk quality and quality testing for the benefit of all concemed. __._i.____.__, EDITORIAL NOTES Should the price of potatoescon- tinue to advance, says the Vancouver Province plaintively, "spuds" may be served as dessert in the de luxe cafes.
