In this country the ideal i5 to linlit, and, if possible, to eliminate, the number of private citizens who are in possession of those firearms whose only real pur- pose is w serve as WBBPQIIS of of- fence. But in the United States, where over 10,000 people are said to be killed by gunshot wounds every year, exactly the opposite system is now advised. Colonel Goddard, who is rather oddly described as “pm- Western University, Chicago,’ and "arms and ammunition expert,’ recommends that every good Almeri- can citizen should be equipped with a revolver and told to act as his own policeman in a great national calm- paign against “gunmen and hood- lurns." It would be flR-tly contrary to the English tradition to encour- age private citizens to believe that they must look to their own pro- tcction. That is the business bl the police, who in most cases heartily resent the slur on their own edic- iency which is implied in any sug- gestion that a citizen needs a revolv- er in order to protect his own life or property. Speaking in Washington as long ago as 1916, Woodrow Wilson used these words : "The y lame: W. Barton. "D. VACATION SHOULD MEAN CHANGE OF SURROUNDINGS As the vacation time approaches you may be sayinB to yourself that you not only cannot aflord o. yac- ation, but you really do not need one as business has been so quiet.

P. Morgan and his office manager declared ln the most casual fflflhibh that none of the members of this financial house hadmduring the last two years paid any income tax; and this because they had suffered fin- ancial _.losses during that period. Little wonder this startling admis- sion brought from the spectators a gasp of amazement. In the Morgan flrm are men reputed to be among the wealthiest bankers in the Unit- ed States, leaders in great enter- prises, uteri of influence, from whom the people were entitled to expect at least a fairly good example of law observance; yet, while strug- gling taxpayers were being hounded for their contributions to the State. while they were trying in some way to scrape together the amount stip- ulated, the wizards of higher finance calmly ignored the income tax. not once. but twice.

Teapot Tempest (Ottawa Journal) A, protracted, bitter fight in Par- liament over redistribution concerns nobody but a few politicians. Nobody is disenfranchised. Nobodys citiz- enship is threatened. Yet notwith- standing this, and despite that not one Canadian in a hundred knows what this controversy is about, or cares, we see Parliament kept in session day after day, engaged in a futile, unseemly. expensive brawl. One oi the extraordinary things about certain pathetic delusion that the public is interested in this sort of contro- versy. It is as extraordinary as the fact that politicians who will sit in Parliament throughout session without making the contribution to worth-while meas- ures suddcnly became galvanized into almost frenzied activity by a Dioiiosition that is surely political.

It offers the primary producer the first hope oi 1m?!“- ed prices for his products since the depression descended upon the Do- minion. It promises what has been specified by economists generally as the pro-requisite to‘ any econom- ic recovery by the country, name- ly, b, restoration of the purchasing power of the agricultural com- ‘munity. And it does so by establish- ing a stabilization fund which is for the purpose of providing both employment and relief for the far- mers oflCanada. It will enable ex- porters to the British market to secure payment not in depreciated British currency. but on the basis of the British pound being worth $4.60. There will be paid to ch10"- ers to the British market the dif- ference between the price actually received and the pound BEBIIIHE valud at $4.80. In other words, to the extent that the pound sterling falls below $4.60, the difference will be made good from this fund. ‘The fund is to be available to exporters of the following commodities: Ani-_ mals, meats (including baoon and hams.) poultry, fresh fish, canned fish, tobacco, cheese, milk products. canned fruits, canned vegetables, maple products. eggs and honey.

HA5 UNLIMITED POWERS In view of the probability that the various Provinces may require further relief from the Federal Government during the days of continued depression, a Bill was passed by the House of Commons entitled "RELIEF ACT OF 1933." It permits the Federal Government to cntcr into agrements with any of the Provinces respecting measures of relief which may be adopted. and- to grant or guarantee financial as- sistance. It further enabels the Federal Gov eminent to take such measures as will protect the credit and financial position of the Dominion or any of the Provinces, or o! any public body or corporation. The Bill is wide in its scope in that when Parliament is not in session it permits the Governor-in- Council to take all such measures as its discretion ls necessary to maintain peace, order and good government in Canada. It permits the Federal Government to pay out 0f the Consolidated Revenue Fund all such monies as may be deem- ed necessary for the operation of the Act, but it provides that the amount paid for direct relief for the year ending Marcll 31st, i934, shall not exceed the sum of twenty mil- lion dollars.

P. Iifoigan and company is the largest private blinking institution in the world. So far as its stability is concerned, it has nothing what- ever to fear from the probe, for its financial resources are enormous. its methods-for anything the world knows or is likely to draw to the contrary-are legally cor- rect, and its ramifications extend through every stock into the fabric o! almost every big business criter- prise in America. But this investi- gation, now four days in progress. has brought certain startling facts t0 light. which, iflthey have done nothing to shake the pillars of this great battling house, have disclos- ed some amazing defects in the, American income tax system and damaged not a few promising car- eers in bath political parties. Surprising as it is to learn that 20 partners of J. P. Morgan and Company, reputed to be, million- aires-have paid no income tax since 1930, it is still more astound- ing to discover that they were able to evade assessment under the let- ter and express‘ provisions of the law. 'I'he?r incomes, it seems, were exempt frsm taxation because they were able to show losses during those years ' exceeding what they nladc. This would not be ground for income tax exemption in Cana- da or Great Britain, but it is in the United States. This disclosure, therefore, docs not bring the 00 untaxed mllicnaires into conflict with the law, but it certainly does cast discredit on American states- manship and legislative foresight. The Morgan investigation 'has its roots in politics. Morgans are Republicans and were regarded as the financial sources of the Hoover campaign. Partizansllip therefore decreed that they should be cited for public inquiry, and the move was a popular one, because it is always shrewd polit‘cs to bait big business and bloated financiers in the great American democracy. But ironically enough, in this case the politicians got hoist with their own petard. Before the inquiry was three days irrprogress, it was found that a legion oi’ public men, De- mocrats as well as Republicans, had waxed wealthy at the hands of the Morgans, receiving big sums of money for no other visible reason than their political influence and their likelihood of being able to make ample returns to their benc- factors. Thcre Morgan gifts took the form of the sale of blocks of sc- lectcd stocks to the favored bene- ficiaries at prices considerably be- low the currcnt market quotations. Aiieehany Corporation and stan- dard Brand siocks, for example, were privately sold by the Morgan firm to such ldividuals as William H. Wooclin, now secretary of the ‘Treasury, Norman H. Davis, Amer- ican Ambassador-at-large, W. G. McAdoo, John a. Raskobftlohn w. Davis, and the latc Calvin Cool- idge, at prices from $8 to $15 per share below market quotations. These blocks consisted in most cases of thousands of shares, and were immediately saleable at from 25 io 100 per cent above what they cast. Rcputntions are being blasted by the fierce light of this spectacular cxhibiton, but not that of J. P. Morgan and his associates, who at- tend the committee's sessions re- gularly, with urbane, genial smiles.
