The purpose of this Act is not to abolish all farm debts, a task obviously impossible. What it does aim to do, however, is to help farmers adjust their debts, to scale down principal and interest rates; to work out reasonable settlements. In other words, its purpose is to keep famers on their land, to give them c. fresh start, to bring what they owe within possibility of pay~ merit. This, in many_ canes, is being done. Finance Minister Rhodes re- ports that there has now been as- toblished ln each province under the provisions of the Act a Board 0f Prview. 'I"hese boards are func- tioning, In the Province of Sas- katchewan 159 cases have been appealed to the Board of Review; 49 have already been hoard and in 35 cases proposals formulated.

SOCIAL ACTS COMPARED An interesting comparison of the figures under the British Unemploy- ment Insurance Act of 1934 plus an increase of 25 per cont to offset the difference in living costs between the two countries, with the figures under the Unemployment Insurance bill now submitted to the. Canadian Parliament, was made last week by i Premier Bennett. The Prime Min- ister pointed out that the benefits under the Canadian bill for men be- tween twenty-one and sixty-four ore $0 per week as against $5.17 un- dcr the British bill of last year, and 35.10 for women as against $4.05 for women under the British bill of last year; and for men between eight en and twenty $4.20 per week in Can- ada as against $4.26 under thc Bri- tish bill, and for females between the ages of eighteen rind twenty $3.60 per week here as against $3.65 per week in Great Britain, conver- ted into Canadian funds. For boys of the age of seventeen the rate in Canada is $2.70 and $2.74 in Great Britain at par of exchange. For boys under seventeen, $1.80 in Can- ada and $1.82 in Britain; and for girls $2.10 in Canada as against $2.38 in Britain; $1.50 for those un- iier the age of seventeen 1n Canada md $1.52 for those under seventeen in Britain. The dependent payment lo adults in Canada is 82-70 P01‘ week as against $2.74 in Britain, ' ‘ tnd the payment for each chili-l in ihls country is 90 cents per week as igalnst 61 cents under the British act. ‘m enemas nmtrcrs i , One of the most amazing features ' n the’ British Empire, says the Toronur Globe, is the variety of “dialectic English speech the trirvrl- 1,1101‘ may hear.

The Srscerh of the Australian man in the street L1 richly redolent of that heard in the neighborhood of Bow Bells; and even Canada must admit that she has s. touch of the nasal twang familiar in the neighboring Republic, to saynothing of the (‘nlightfully original English heard in the Province of Quebec. To all this, and. in all countries must be added too-prevalent slovenlincss of speech, and the day-by-day en oevnumelltS of slang. ' - Consequently he is a courageous man who, like C. Etuar Ford, Doc- tor cf Music of Oxford University, essays to unify these dialects. Dr. Bord, at present in Carmela, is, in his own words, “interested in set- ting one standard of speech for the Empim." He wants to break down those barriers which exist because of present dialects. Dr. IPord real- izes the magnitude of such an undertaking, but approaches his task in a spirit of good humor. For example: "We in Britain, of coursn, have many different dialects, al- though they are tending to disap- pear.

EDITORIAL NOTES Miss Goya's performances IPrlday night were a revelation to most of brr audience of the poetry of mus- cular movement. Taking time by the forelock, our evening contemporary is dishing up election propaganda. in wholesale orders. It will be stale and un- profitable long before the campaign opens. In an interview in the London Daily Mail in December, Hitler de- clared that nothing would induce Germany to go to war as anmher catastroph". of that kind would end western civilization. Nevertheless ho pussyfoots about taking the initial step to prevent such catastrophe. It is quite evident that Hitler ls in the habit of “protesting too much" to be sincere. The destruction of three United States dirigibles-trn Shenandoah, the ZR-2, and the ,Akron-—meant a total loss to the US. Government of $8,375,000 in construction costs alone. The Shenandoah (ZR-I), de- stroyed in 1925, cost $2,000,000. Che was erected at Lakehurst, NJ. The ZR-Z, lost during a test flight over Hull, Eng, in 1921, cost the United States $1,000,000, or half of the contract price paid to British bulld- ers. The’Akron (ZR-d), built at Akron, 0., and commissioned in 1931, was destroyed nearly two years later. She cost $5,375,000. It is very questionable whether Wash- ington will authorize any further expenditure for sometimp to come on such death traps. The impressive showing in the expansion of Canada's business with the British Empire is almost wholly attributable to the operation of Ottawa conference agreements. An almost equally impressive showing is the expansion in Canada's bus- iness with the British Empire. largely attributable to the opera- tion of the conference agreements. sales to the Empire amounted to $335,245,138, a growth of over $80,- 000,000, while purchases from the Empire totalled $157D6d,710, an im- provement of $34,389,073.

Canada's total sales in 1934 were $659,903,020, an increase over the previous year of over $132,000,000, while purchases last year aggregated $513,469,497, an ad- vance of over $112,000,000.

During the years 1914 to 1930 Dr. Rrehfuss and his co-worker Drl-lawk made 1000 studies in 200 normal men. They found that there W610 three types of digestion-rapld, slow and mecllum—and that the rate of digestion was the same for the same individual whether meats were eaten alone, potatoes alone. or i! meat and potatoes were eaten to- gether.

The reason no doubt is that they have been sensible enough to go to their own shores for their vacations and, as a result, have not experi- enced the many short-comings of the resorts on the Mainland. Prior to coming to Prince Edward Island, I tried many well known tourist resorts-a new place every year, for I never had a desire to return a second time, and, after spending four summers on the Is- ing that in my opinion the summer es, etc., of Prince Edward Island cannot be equalled in any other part of the North America fairly strong statement to make. but I do so adviscdly, and am pre- pazed to argue the point with ony~ 0H8. So fur as our climate is concern- ed, from the months of June to September inclusive‘, the Island is mi-talnly blessed with a. remarkably equitable temperature, so even in- deed that we suffer from no ex- tremes of heat or cold. Can any- cne remember, on more than two or three days last summer, having preferred the shady side of the street when walking in Charlotte- town or Summerslde, or of having been uncomfortably cold? Then, let those who business has compelled them during the warm months to go to New York, Philadelphia, Bos- ton, or indeed to any of tho other cities in Central and Southern Am- erica, hark back to the almost un- tiearable discomfort they experi- enced from the scorching sun and the trying humidity, and they will then un I rstand why so many thou- sands of American people come north into Canada to obtain a change and a health upbulldlng to 51 enable them to stand the strains and stress of modern life. There is, of course, a reason for this annual exodus from the South. viz-that Canada is situated north of the 49th parallel of latitude and that the United States runs from 49 degrees down to 25 drgrees. and 0f course the nearer to the meridi- an the greater the heat, a possible advantage in the winter. but the ne- verse in summer. Because of the short distance either by rail or car to the Maine coast, many Mcntrinlers holiday there, some of them owning cot- tages of their own. Now the sea Shore in Maine takes in the high- est latitude on the American At- lantic coast, and yet on many days the heat between ten in the mom- ing and five in the afternoon is so great that bathing is about the only sport in which one can in- dulge with comfort. In other parts of Canada, par- ticullkb in the Laurentian Moun- tains, most days are very pleasant, but in these places the walnr is all fresh—chiefly still water lakes —and all will, I am sure, agree that there is simply no comparison be- tween fresh and salt water bathing. Even on our warmest days, es- pecially On the North shore, there is always a refreshing breeze which allows one to enjoy a game of ten- nis, or a. run on the golf links at any hour of the day. The nights, too, are invariably cool enough to permit of the enjoyment of sound sleep under a blanket, something almost unknown in the warmer zones. Then again. for an Island in the sea, we have a. remarkable freedom fmm fogs and mists, particularly during the holiday months. This is an asset that should not pass un- Rim-counted. for foggy days are not only uncomfortable physically but mentally are depressing. and they are very frequent in most Atlantic resorts. - When telling friends in other parts of Canada about our salubri- ous climate.

And now what about our beach- csl I am not going to say that we are in this respect ahead of flor- lde, but they are not in competitio . There are some fine beaches in Maine, rlw Jersey, Coney Island. and alongthc New England coast. but none of them are superior and lfew are equal to those on either side of our shores, and wn have miles and miles of them, of flue hard sand, most of them free from rocks and stones of any kind, backed up by mounds of warm soft sand. [in which to lie and rest after c. swim. The value of a. beach depends n cpn- upon the l umber of people who us: » es at the leadinr Ameri- "ca-n resorts could not be bought for millions of dollars. Another important advantage that lwc have, and that is perhaps not as well known as it might be, is that the temperature of the water from June to October is ‘higher than ln Maine, and decidedly warm- Ier than in our sister Maritime Pm- I vinces, while there is no compari- son at all between the temperature ‘of the ocean around Prince Edward Island and that of the frigid half salt water in the Lower st. Law- rence at Murray Bay, Cap a PAigle. Metis, Bic, etc. I have in my pos- wright, Esq, K. C., of Ottawa, who with Mrs. Cartwright has been coming to Shaw's every August far the past 35 years. and who has made a hobby of registierlng daily the temperature (Fohr) of the wat- er on the shore at Brackley Beach. In this letter Mr. Cartwright gives the minimum, maximum and aver- BPP degrees covering four years. They are as follows:- Year Minimum M ' Average 192$ 62 '12 68.15 1926 .. 80 '70 68.2 1927 . . 60 '74 67.5 1930 . . 60 74 67.5 The similarity in the average tem- peratures durln; remnt years isrof particular interest, u it permits of our broadc ing the fact with safety. Now the difference between bath- ing in salt water that is reasonably warm and in watnr so cold that it takes all one’s courage to step in- to it, makes all the difference in the world between delight and dis- appointment in one’s vacation, for after all ‘a. daily‘ dip in the briny',, especially in the surf, is one of the greatest attractions that a. summer resort can offer. The absence from sharks, croco- diles Bllddiptlles of every kind on all the Island shores, is a. particu- lar value, for this ls a trouble very common in the American resorts, and keeps many people from en- tering the water. , . Another advantage that must not be forgotten is the splendid ozone -double oxygen-with which the air is impregnated on the. North Shores on days when the sea. is rolling, and particularly when the waves are high. There is no greater tonic to be had than ozone, which ls a special health builder for chil- dren. And, now before closing this let- ter I want to draw attention to the fact that we on this Island are greatly priviieged in having a quality of drinking water that is wonderfully pure, cold and refresh- ing. Mr. J. A. Webster, Chairman of our Water Commission, tells m- that the springs on all parts of the Island apparently supply the some high quality of this. the great- est beverage in the world. Anyone who has stayed at summer hotels, where the water was brackish or had to be boiled or chlorinated, or rain water as in Bermuda, will ap- preciate what e. real pleasure and what a. benefit is obtained from this source. This may seem to some of us to be of but secondary importance becaum we have water at all time-s by the simple turning of a tap, and pay so little for it, but it is o. wonderful asset never- theless and many outsiders will ap- , preciate it. Them are still many other nat- ural advantages to recount and which must be relegated to another letter. I am, Sir, etc., . K. 8.

True, it was not discussed in open meet- ing, but there are assurances that tho Finance Commit ,2 understood it after “Mayor McGeer had. out- lined his plan for three hours." Here is its crystallized form: “This conference of Western Can- adian oitles solemnly erges upon and petitions the Parliament of Canada to ‘establish immediately as the policy and duty of the National Central Bunk of Canada that it shall create and issue, under p;oper measures of public control, to national, Provincial and manuf- clpal governments, at cost, the national currency and mnnetlzed public credit n y to serve the needs of the people and to main- govern- ment, and to promote at all times public works and social services re- quired to eliminate invoiuntary unemployment." ‘ Our Vancouver contemporary feels that it is its duty to try to understand with its own unaided intelligence what this resolution is driving at. It hasn't exactly been listening to Mayor MlcGeer foi- three hours; though in a larger sense it has heard him for several years. It has looked at his resolution in every way it can think of. and can take it to mean only one thing. It must mean that the Government, in virtue of its control of the Bank of Canada, must prinrt more paper money and possibly coin more metal nwney. “National currency," the Province is sure, must mean cur- rency. And if "monetized public credit" doesn't mean currency when one comes down to the unimagina- tlve practical application of the thinl. then it does mt understand the King's English 9S"S]J0kell in CBJBNT~ But, does some one say. this is monetary inflation? Sadly enough. yes! Just the sort of thing desired by the wild men of Congress, who strain so hard at the Roosevelt leash: the some sort of thing that was tried in Britain in the days of the South Sea Bubble and» the tally-chick: later in the Southern Confederacy; and still later in Ger- many, where eventually masses bc- came pauperized and a ndllion pmpar marks were rated at the value of a postage stomp. Canada’s Eastern Arctic (Exchange) Canada's Arctic possessions are, geographically, divided by Nature into two parts-the Western Anotic, reached from the Pacific Ooun and down the Mackcnlic river; and the Eastern Arctic to which access is Ilincd from the Atlantic ocean and Hudson Bay.

For example the tiny lemming, cousin to the field mouse, has been shown by Canadian Government iu- vestlgatiors to be a most im- portant link in the chain oi causation which produces the violent fluctuations in the numbers of wild life. The lemming which livas on vegetation multiplies repidiv during a four-year cycle, then in the peak year from some cause as yet unknown, it dies in millions, the foxes whose normal food is the lemming starve in thousands, and the trapper bus a lean year. These fluctuation: greatly disturb Arctic life, especi- ally the fur trade, and thus in- dirc. 1y affect the welfare o! every citizen of the Dominion. For these reasons the fluctuations are a subject of study by officers oi the Canadian Government. The mammals include the cari- bou, white fox, musk-ox, Polar bear. seal, walrus, narwhal, and whit! whole. The last named is the source of a considerable industry centred in Cumberland Gulf, The Eskimo dog of Canada's Eastern Arctic is one of the finest of the different strains of Husky (108 around the Pole and veterinariol are studying how best to 0Y0- tect him from disease.
