Mackenzie King in his recent Lfpolitical addresses is that the Ben- ijet fiscal policies have "stifled" Canadian trade. 0g timely interest iii exploding -thls misstatement is Ithe annual report of Canada Pack- ‘ifs Limited, which gives conclusive proof of the great benefit to Can- adian farm producers of the Empire ‘Trade Agreements ,, “ fed by lthe Bennett administration in 1932. I-Here, for example, is how the Agreements afiectedvthe price of ‘bacon hogs, which up to Jan. 1933 was at a ruinously low level. From that date until the present monthly quotations are given, showing a steady rise from 3.26 to 9.25 in June, 1935. "The advance which began in January, 1933," says the report, "was due to the export outlet opened up by the Ottawa Agree- ment. During the yea-r under re- view its value to the hog producers of Canada can safely be estimated at $40,000,000. But for the outlet which it opened up for Canada's surplus product, Canadian hogs would probably have sold through- out the year at prices approximate- ly the same as those of January, lean." Every farmer knows this to be a true statement of fact. Yet day after day the Liberal Federal leader con-- tinues to "knock" the agreement with the United Kingdom by _ which this benent was realized. To _whom is this partisan appeal ad- dressed? Obviously not to our laocon 110g producers. nor to our farmers generally, who have profited in Ifiiany other lines by the reason at’ l the Ottawa Agreements, \ , RURAL MAIL‘ CASE Elsewhere in today's issue appears notice oi an important meeting of ‘the Mail Contractors‘ in Queens . County, to be held in the new Board m o1 the City I-Iali tomorrow g vening. The meeting is for organ- ' ization purposes. The occasion is a _ timely reminder oi the unfortunate conditions under which the Rural . Mall Contractor carries on his work. vIJnlike other postal employees, he fworks on the contract plan, and inust compete every year for re- jiewal of his contract. This means lithst he must cut his own wages to {who point which does not aflord ildequate remuneration. sometimes . the contract figure is so low that it does not pay the cost oi a team, far less the services of a compet- ‘ent man. What the Mail Contrac- tors ask for is that the Contract Bystem be abolished, and in its place a salary plan introduced, similar to the manner in which all other postal employees are engaged. The proposition is a reasonable one, and carries the approval of newspapers and public men oi both political parties. The Rural Mail -Carr'iers are deserving of the full- "est public support in presing their petition that action be taken in this matter. PAINTING BARNS "i After a lapse oi five full years, farmers are beginning to paint their barns again. There is n0 general rush, but here and there through "most oi the mixed farm- Jng areas, examples are readily footed. whiie important enough in iitceif. in view oi the immense area be covered in familiar red. green f-bl’ white, the significance oi the gsoium of bani paint is that it lone oi the grossly misleading ptements repeatedly made by i264,863, or 22.5 per cent; it about when he allowed Washing- irom American markets! in the next legislature.

Foley, M.L.A., Summerside, are urging his claims for the Ministry of Health. in view 0f the foot that. being a druggist. he is but one step removed from being a medical doctor. The misnomer of the Mounties is emphasized by the fact that in the extensive rebuilding plans of the 5.0.84.2. headquarters at Winni- peg provision is made for a 24-car garage, and not for s. single horse. It appears that Canada's mem- bership of the league of Nations ‘costs us $200,000 per annum. We have. therefore, more than a casual interest in the proceedings and transactions oi the organization. Mr. King thinks that both Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, were they alive today, would unite and congratulate him on his "wait and see" pibn oi cam- paign. He will have another "think" coming before he is much older. The unanimous opinion. almost, of political students is that the Liberals cannot possibly win the llledcral election: The Conservatives will retain Piiwer, it may be with a coalition, but they are bound to be the dominant party. The formal protest sent by the Japanese Government to the Wash- ington Government over a cartoon in an American magazine cynically entitled "Japan's Emperor gets the Nobel Peace Prize," recalls a sim- ilar incident when Kaiser William II of Germany dismissed his old adviser Bismark. Punch published a cartoon entitled "Dropping the Pilot," which roused lndignatim in Germany, and led to the Kaiser personally protesting to his Royal relatives in England. Evidently the USA. citizens are solving for-themselves the ques- tion of depopulation. The number of inhabitants was increasing so rapidly that the Government re- sorted to quotas to restrict immigra- tion. Now it appears one out oi every three married couples in the United States is classed as "child- less" by census bureau experts. The lest exact count was in 1930. when the percentage oi couples without children stood at 31.9. A new study estimates the flrcentage now has moved higher. There were 23,352,990 couples in 1930. 0f which 7,447,328 had no children. Famil- ies having one child numbered 5,- those having two children, 4,240,469; three children, 2,850,730; four 0r more. 3,758,610. City couples had fewer children than rural families.

W.Berfea,M.D. PERNIGIOUS ANAEMIA THOUGH A PERMANENT CONDITION CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED When Dr. Banting oi Toronto dis- coverd that insulin, a juice obtain-l ed from the pancreatic gland, would enable the blood in the diabetic to use sugar to maintain strength and ‘energy instead of having it thrown out of the body in the urine the “cure" for diabetes was said to have been found. Insulin is not the cure for dia- betes-—there is no cure as yet-but as lnstilin enables most diabetics to go about their work, enjoy life and live as long as other people, it really makes no difference about the finding of a "cure" at present. Similarly when Drs. Minot and Murphy, Boston, discovered that calf’s liver would make rich red corpuscles in the blood enabling pat- ients with pernicious anaemia to continue to live instead oi dying in one or two years. it was sald that the “cure" for this formerly incur- able disease had been found. And in a sense liver is a cure as many pat- ients can go of! the liver diet for weeks at a time. However, Just as insulin is needed regularly and must be used daily by patients with diabetes, so also must patients with per.rileious- anaemia take liver in some form always. _ Thus Dr. J. W. Wilkinson in the Practitioner, Iondon, points out: "The fundamental principle underlying the successful treatment of pernicious anaemia is that lt must be recognized as a permanent condition-not enough red corpusc- les and iron in the blood--and so the red corpuscles and iron must be replaced in the blood by liver, liver extract, extract of hog's stomach." These must be given in sufficiently large amounts to maintain the blood in a normal condition and keep the patient free from symptoms. "This means that he blood must be examined about every three months and the amount of liver or the extracts must be increased or decreased according‘ to the condi- tion of the blood. If there are any signs, however, slight, oi nervous symptoms, the treatment must be continued in full doses."

Liberals will say that from 1921 to 1930 Canada's finan- cial positlon was steadily improved. This is how it was improved. Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Minister of Finance, issued recently the state- ment of the Dctninionk direct and indirect debt, as shown by public accounts covering the period from April 1. i922, to Mar. 31 1930. 1n- stead of the net, debt be ng reduced ‘during that time, it increased by the large sum of $127,466,780. To this must be added temporary loans to C. N. R. outstanding at Mar. 81, 1930, and later assumed by the Conserva- tive Government. Under guaranteed or direct loans amounting to $38.- 349142 in all, an adverse position of $l65.8l5.922 was the result of nine years of Liberal stewardship. Following is the statement of Mr. odes: B.

When in 1928 Conservative mem- bers of the House of Commons led by Mr. Bennett were warning the King Government of disaster ahead unless administration extravagance and wild cat speculation were curb- ed and economies instituted, the ready reply of Mr. King's supporters was to condemn them as "pessim- ists" and accuse them of "decrying our country." The country today is in a better position to judge whether Mr. Bennett's warnings were based on imism or sound common sense. I am, Sir, etc., "B" Bloomfield Station. P. E. I. These reasons will also necessitate camouflage, distortion of fact and the side tracking oi essential ‘ssues to mislead the people and conceal important phases of economic condi- tions. In comparing trade operations there is often a wide difference be- tween volume and value. This dif- ference hns been, and will continue to be exploited by Liberal sophistry, especially .in this Province, to mis- lead the voter. To illustrate. With wheat at 80c. 300,000,000 bushels ex- ported would represent $180,000,000. The same quantity at 81 would np- pear in exports at $300,000,000.

USE OBANGI raxol 3 points to the advantages the screen has over the stage in presenting the fantastic and the superhuman, and certainly it is not hard to con- ceive a. setting. for instance, o: "The Tempest" in which all the camera's miraculous trickery could be bent to aiding Shakespeare's magic. ‘The memory will still be fresh among lovers of the art of the screen of Fritz Lang's wonderful settings, in the great days of the German sil- ent film, for the music of Wallfltlrb “Siegfried? They were a visual poem which even the atrocious captions used in the English ver- sion could not mar; and if sim- liar genius were brought to Shake- speare settings the result might well be memoralzde. Lawrence’s Gift‘. (Fredericton Gleaner) The world will 1on3 puzzle over the enigma of personality that was represented by the man who won fame as Lawrence oi Arabia and sought obscurity as T. E. Shaw. Whether the man was actually an enigma or merely stood as one to the world it seems clear that one riui his mQstifylng characteristics was his self-denial. When he turn- ed back from the honors and the plaudits that might have been his to become an aircraftman in the Royal Ali- Force there was more than a suggestion of the medieval escape from the pomps of the world to a monastic simplicity and self- denial. How far this self-denial Went is shown by a fresh revelation, made by Lord Wakefield at a meet- ing oi the Royal Air Force Benevol- ent Fund. There Lawrence was id- entitled as the donors of the An- onymous Education Fund foi- the children of, oflloers of the Royal Air Force. since 1928 this fund has provided nearly 820,000 for the ed- ucation of children a majority of whom are iatherless. In 1934 the number who benefited by the fund was forty-two. The source of this money is as interesting as its application. The publication oi “Revolt in the Des- ert." the poplar version or Law- rence's own story of his career in Arabia, brought the author 875,000 in fflylltles. a rich reward for one not primarily an author. He allow- ed himself no share in these prof- its. but set them aside and ulti- mately established the aforemen- tioned iund. It was at his insistence that the donor or thefund was unidentified. The whole incident Bllslests the most thorough-going self-denial. but it will help some persons to explain to themselves the character who ha; seemed g mystic out of his time or an eo- cefltrlc living an anti-climax. Whatever else he was, Lawrence was a mm with strength oi char- m" QHOlI-Ili to live his life pre- cisely Is he wished. Autonomy To India, (Toronto Globe) The British Government has at int surmounted the obstacles of its opponents and taken the great step by which it proposes to solve much of the corngiex problem that is India. The India bill, with its SOO-odd "minor amendments" in- serted by the House of Lords has pulsed Parliament. and. it is plan- tned, will become effective early next year. Thsfuturo of thsbill is enigmatic as is caste-ridden India herself, and certainly the issue that‘ it hIlTlilQd in Britain cannot he considered closed. lriafly. the bill piovlrks for a ve mtrioted autonomy on the ‘of a lbderal Government and ‘he Vlvewy- The British Paine- ment will further continue to ex. ercise a great influence on econ- °ml¢ Policies. All matters oi foreign affairs and national defense re- main with it. What the bill actual- ly hopes to achieve is the educa- llim 0f India along the lines of complete self-government by gggda ual extension of powers and t)" ballot privilege. The first stop in this direction will be to extend the franchise from 3 per mm g, about 14 per cent. of the population 0f the British Provinces, having ‘met "$5M l° equal representa- tion of the various castes. Perhaps the greatest doubt at- W-Chllli; t0 the India bill in m; mind oi the public today h“ been created by the extent and vigor o! the opposition it received. Rather than 1001115? any of its opponents, the Government seemed only rs intensify their attack and increase their numbers as the bill pgsggd through its various stages. so in- tense was the feeling that on itl arrival in the House of 1.01115 m; the first reading Lord Salisbury adopted the unusual procedure oi moving its rejection. l-Ie ‘railed in his support the open disapproval with which it has been greeted in .India and in the Indian Civil ser- vice.
