occasion showed that he'wa.s not

any matter of gcrvemmental respon-
sibility was concemed, if it involv-
ed just censure and criticism.
Asleep On The Job
Not to be outdone, in allbis for
the cracked McIntyre highway, the
Hon. B. W. LePage comes forward
ith one which outmatches, for
nadulterated nonsense. even Prem-
ier Lea's remarkable effort referred
to in yesterdays Guardian.
Mr. LePage'5 alibi, as given at the
North Wiltshire meeting, is this:
That bud "batch" of asphalt which
the Patriot blames for all the
trouble had been mixed by "Tory
hce1ers"-obviously for the purpose
of discrediting the Govemment's
election highway policy! Moreover.
Mr. LcPBge opines that “some Tory
had probably punched holes in the
highway in order to take pictures
of them.”
It is sadly evident, from these
revelations, that Mr. LePage has
fallen down on his job. As one-
time Acting Premier, as mouth-
piece, ex officio, for the Govern-
ment and resident Cabinet Minis-
ter. he should have voiced his sul-
picion of this heinous plot before
it had matured. He should have
,nipped it ln the bud. He should
have overlooked the work of the
highway engineers-who evidently
were negligent in allowing "Tory
heelers" to mix the asphalt at such
a. critical stage in the proceedings.
He should have kept unslceping
vigil when the ingredients were in
a plastic state, and shooed off any
interlopers. Armed with an assort-
ment of such missiles as he stocks
behind his counter in Charlotte-
town, Mr. LePage would have made
a, formidable watchdog against de-
signing Tory hole-punchers or
photographers.
I-Ie could have saved the situ-
ation! `

the Eldon meeting. Since he hasn't
got a p.a‘..form of his own, it was
fortunate for the Premier that he
had something constructive to talk
about.
At last one Liberal candidate has
had the faimess to apologize for
introducing federal matters into
provincial politics. Hon. W, F. A,

Clifton meeting that federal issues

Industrial America of 1931 ls pro-
foundly unlike pioneer America of
a century ago. Yet there are still
many Canadians who seem unable
to 'feelin that there has been any
change; and they are still trying to
make conditions of 1931 conform
to standards a.nd rules of a vanish-
ed era.

The London *Spectator llmndonl
says: The only factor which will ul-
timately decide whether India re-
mains withln the British Common-
wealth is the wishes of her varied
peoples. Building political ediflces
which will stand the strain of time
demands builders with long views.
Too much time is being wasted in
talking about safeguards. The only
safeguard which really matters is
Indian good will. 1n the months
ahead we should all of us redouble
our efforts to capture Indian good
will. We do not think this will be an
impossible task.
P. B. Wallace ln the English Re-
view <London) says: “History shows
us that with nations, as with indi-
viduals, love turns only tw ca-ally
into hatred, and that modern meth-
ods of propaganda can be most ef-
fective in hastenlng the process.
Brothers and cousins make excel-
lent enemies, even though they may
occasionally join forces temporarily
against an outsider. Sentiment is, in
fact, a very dangerous link to trust
to in this mechanical age, and it
is better left out of the calcula-
tions."
We hear much about the difficult-
ies of the farmer, the small returns
from great expenditure of labor, the
tax bills, interest charges, and high
cost of everything he buys compared
with prices received. An occasional
gleam of light piercing the gloom,
therefore, attracts attention. Mr.
Gilbert Reaume of Kent County,
Ontario, appears to get considerable
satisfaction from harvestitng as
early as July 3 one of the best wheat
crops he has had in his forty-odd
years’ experience on the land.
One of the worst signs of the
times, says the Star, is that people
seem to have become so indifferent
about the government of their
country. Indifference is rather a
new thing in politics, and it cannot
be healthy. If it becomes a perman-
ent characteristic of our people it
means the decay of democracy. And
if democracy resigns. something else
takes its place. Something which.
we may be sure, will be neither
healthy nor helpful on English soil.
Another gentleman who had spent
many years in Government employ
at a remunerative salary, and 51
years ago handled a plow behind a

BAKING SODA FOB. HIVBS
I often wonder how our mothers
happened to know so many things
about health many of which are
now being used regularly by the
medical profession.
I have in mind that simple but
distressing ailment, the hives, or
urtlcaria as it is called.
This is caused by_ food of some
kind, fresh strawberries being an
outstanding example. ‘
The little lumps are itchy and
unsightly, and can give a great deal
of discomfort.
You may remember that lnother's
treatment was a dose of castor oil
to get the ‘poison' out of the system.
and a dose of baking soda to ‘sweet-
en up the stomach and intestinesf
What is the treatment now?
Where a patient is bothered
almost continuously with hives, Dr.
L. Dinkin, Berlin, tells us that in an
observation of 20 cases of chronic
urticarla over a period of three
years he obtained favorable results
with the ordinary baking soda. .He
reports complete cures in all cases.
In some cases due to some other all-
ment being present some had an-
other attack of the hives, but by re-
suming the use of the baking soda,
the cure was again effected. ,
In regard to the dosage he states
that from two to two and a half lev-
el teaspoonfuls should be taken
three times a day. If this dose seems
too large then one to one and a half
teaspoonsful should be given four

ers were about?
Perhaps somebody will
him a few more questions. They might ask hlni for example,
why he felt sure that it was all right to hand over Lib-
eralism’s $700,000 to Senators Haydon and Raymond. Teil
who, if anybody, nominated them as receivers-general. _
If nobody did, if this way of doing business is Just
Mr. Sweezey’s easy-going custom, and if it can be told that
Mr. King just didn’t know
all its money, then well and
it against him that he never
paying his way; but that, bad enough, and strange,
wouldn’t be half as bad as proof _that our Mr. Klng,_w_'ho
used to thunder against the “lnvlslbie hand” in politics,
and who used to be' all for
out of the Liberal temple, was all the while trafficking
with the enemy. Bowing the
ample, how devastating it would be if when Mr. King got
into the midst of one of his flaming passages about pluto-
cracy, some crude and cynical person in the audience
shouted: “What about Beauharnois”? ._ _ _
And what about the others? Mr. Klng’s w_Iute-winged
and spotless captains? Think of that crusadlng radical,
the sea-green incorruptible
plains battling against the, "Interests," and behind him
the dollars of Beauharnois! Think of Mr. Charles Stewart,
mighty voice for the masses!
Mr. Bennett, apparently, took no chances. He, too,
could have dipped into Mr.
didn’t. Mr. Bennett, perhaps unlike Mr. King (but perhaps
not), apparently took the trouble to find out who was
contributing, or offering to contribute, to his party, and
was particular about them. He was particular enough to
turn down $200,000 which his managers could have gotten
fronl Bczluharnois, an act which, if report ifto be believ-
ed, made for sadness among some of his followers. Per-
haps `they are less sad and more wise, now.
recall Mr. Sweezey and ask
where his party was getting
good. Mr. King will still have
troubled to find out who was
chasing the money-changers
knee to Baal. Think,~for ex-
Mr. Motherwell, out on the
Sweezey’s treasure-chest, but
times o day. It ls best to give the
baking soda after meals. `
In some cases the baking soda had
to be stopped for a short time be-
cause just lls you can get an acldosls
from too much acid food you can
get an alkalosis from too much alk-I
aline food. In these cases meat, andl
eggs are taken in large quantities*
for a few days. Dr. Dlnken advises
against the use of injecting baking
soda into the veins in these cases,
because baking soda by the mouth is I
quite effective.
If you are afflicted with chronic
hives it is wise of course to try and
flnd out what food or foods are res-
ponsiule for them, and try and do
without these particular foods if at,
all possible. 'Perhaps cutting down .
on the amount used may be suffic-
ient. .
It is interesting to know that this
old household remedy-baking soda
-is so safe and eifective in hives, or
urtlcaria.

Now how are we going to get more

We1l,`I was :'eading_a little book
the other day called the Report of
the Royal Commission on Maritime
claims. Sometimes called the Dun-
can Commission.
Paragraph six of that report reads
in part as follows. “Conclusion on
Financial Arrangements."
“It follows from what we--have
said, that both in respect of grants
for the machinery of governments
and ln respect of debt allow-
ances, the Maritime Provinces
have satisfied us that they have a
genuine claim to a. readjustment
of the financial arrangements that
‘ exist between the Dominion and
themselves, and that in any read-
Justment their territorial limita-`
tions entitle them to still further
consideration.
“The terms of readjustment are
obviously a matter for detailed
determination and assessment, so
that the actual amount. as well
as the reasons and purposes at-
taching to it can be recognized
by the rest of Canada as fair and
equitable. It is not possible,
therefore, to make a final recom-
mendation as to the increase and
form of Dominion aid, which is
required to satisfy the just claim
of the Maritime situation, but we
recommend that the Dominion
govemment should give immedi-
ate consideration to the whole of
the subject, with a view to a
complete revision of the financial
arrangements as between them I

HOW T0 DECIDE
Sir,-Why put the country
expense of an election to
which party shall have contnl
affairs for the next four mm
the Question is to be decided
the record of either party in
the actions of a body of men
tawa, known as the Federal
ernment? If this is to bed;
practice, why not abolish pri
legislatures and let the Du
Government legislate lor us
matters It would certalnlyu
province considerable expense,
prevent our candidates from
ing their time and that of tl
tors by discussing matten
which they have no control.
this appears to be the max
which the Liberals expect tl
be right or wise that the Marl-
time Provinces, in their present ,
state of grave necessity, with de-
ficits accumulating against them `
in their ordinary revenue and ex-
penditure, should be left in sus-
_ pense u*ntil.a reassessment is
I made by the Dominion Govern-
ment,, and accordingly we recom-
mend that immediate interim i
I lump-sum‘ increases should be
made in the payments to the three,
"These interim payments should
be continued until the Dominion
Government has had time to com-
plete its investigation and reas-
sessment." ‘-
Now, Mr. Editor, I think every-
one knows that a readjustment of
the subsidies between, the three
Maritime Provinces and the Domin-
ion Govemment is in orders
Now what should we as voters in
this Province do about it? Well
now we all know that there is a
Conservative Govemment in power
at Ottawa under the leadership of
I-lon. R. B. Bennett.
I hear some people blaming Mr.
Bennett for a lot of things just now,
but perhaps he has a number of
problems to deal with that we know
nothing about.
'I'he people of Canada seem to
think he is all right yet, or they
would not have entrusted him with
;eio,ooo,ooo in May last.
We also have Conservative gov-
emments in Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. Now don’t you think,
Mr. Editor, that it would be better
for us to have a Conservative Gov-
ernment here for'° the next four
years, at least you know, Sir, that
Mr. J. D. Stewart is an honest pol-
itician and a right good lawyer, in
fact I hear that Mr. Leawhad to ask
him how to do alot of things in
the house last Spring.
I know that this Province has a
right tc justice from Ottawa no
matter what Govemment is in pow-
er, but at the same time I feel that
as long ns human nature is what
it is that a friend going to Ottawa
could do more for us than an en-
¢UlY~ .
We have three pretty smart re-
presentatives nt Ottawa now sup-
porting Mr. Bennett and t“'~" would
be a great help tc Mr. Stewart if we
decide to send-`him.
