JULY 3. 1931 The Election At Last "the Len Government has at last_ decided m take the pluuzp and mil fixed the date for the general el-' lotions i... Thursday. August 6- We m not giving away any state sec- ret when we say that it was decid- ed some time 8B0 by the P00?"- thst be that the election should be I used on a day between August 5i “d August 10. The feeling was that Saturday, the 8th, would be the most likely, primarily, of course, bogus; a Saturday proved a lucky day for the Lea aggregation four years ago when they were elected by a large majority over the Stew- art Government which then made its appeal to the country. The Lea Government evidently is satisfied that luck is not on their side this time. We do not think the change to ‘Thursday will improve matters for it is generally accepted that the Government must go, on whatever day the decisio is given. The Liberal party's prospects are admittedly very poor at the pres- ent time; never so poor, in fact, since the election hove in sight. For s. time after the Bennett Budget was brought down the Lea aggre- gation attempted to make capital out of the changes which the Bud- get involved. But now that the people have become better acquaint- ed with its details and realize that “it is in fact a Farmers‘ Budget, the hi. Government and supporters are again in the doldrums. All that remains for the coh- vervutive candidates to do is to get in close touch with their constitu- encies, to canvas night and day. and. make themselves familiar with the wishes and aspirations of as many of their constituents as they nan reach in the time at their dis- posal. Never were the prospects bet- ter for n clean sweep oi the pres- qit Government and its supporters in the Legislature. Where a. victory is not won for the Conservatives, the blame will attach in no small measure to the candidates them- selves. Let them work vigorously Ind enthusiastically from now un- lil the election, and they will have no cause for regrets. The people are thoroughly familiar with the guestions at issue, and it is for the candidates to get personally in touch with them and discuss any difficulties they may have, setting forth clearly the policim of the Conservative party and the record of the Lea Government with re- spect to its broken pledges and promises. Let The Probe Proceed! Readers of the local Liberal or- gan have been wondering why the astounding revelations made in the Prohibition Court last week were 11ml suppressed in the Patriot's columns, then published in garbled form, without explanation Oi' ex. cuse, either for its own mangled re- bflt or for the attitude adopted by "l9 Mlgistrate, the counsel for the Dfmecution, and the counsel im- Dffllierly heard in Court as repre. lull-ml Hon. Russel Clark, in ob- lfllilnl to the admission of any ev- idence tending to show alleged in. lerference with the free course of Illstice.

Brazen bluff and smug hypocrisy could scarcely be earl-led further. The Guardian used the expression "alleged interference" in referring to Mr. Clark and t0 the Prohibi- tion Magistrate. for the simple rea- son that such interference was ai- leged, and that tile evidence pur- porting to establish the allegation was objected to by counsel for Mr. Clark and for tlie prosecution, and was shut out by the trial Magistrate. The proceedings in the McGuirk case have been a revelation to many sincere temperance people in this Province. The report of the pro- ceedings has made a lasting im- pression for the simple reason that it is not election propaganda, one way or the otherz-it is the truth; though unfortunately it does not appear to be the whole truth. That is the point in which the electors are interested now. The Guardian has already suggested that the whole facts and circumstances in this case, insofar as they deal with the serious charge of interfer- ence with the honest and impar- tial enforcement of the law, should be investigated at once by a prop- erly qualified tribunal. Let Judges politically unbiased sit on the case; let them probe the accusations and the evidence to the bottom, and let the chips fall where they may! That is the answerrttftlilflllfiifi’ organs insinuations against the Guardian for supplying the court report and it is, we believe. the only answer which the people of this Province are in any mood to accept. ‘The Bennett Plan Commenting. on Premier Bennett's optimistic reference to Maritime ports, reprinted in today's Guard- ian fromI-Iansard, the Toronto Mail and Empire says it is the Prime Minister's ambition to do for Hali- fax and St. John what has been done in building up the great ports of London, Liverpool and South- ampton. His policy is in accord with that of Sir John Macdonald in causing the Canadian Pacific Railway to be built, and with that of Sir Wilfred Laurier in project- ing the National Transcontinental Railway in order that Canadian blhilnnss mlfiilt be driven cast and west, instead of north and south. Mr. Bennett's policy is. indeed, the logical fulfilment of his great pre- decessors’ lunhievements. Needless to say, the farmers of this Province are vitally interested in the building up of Maritime ports, as it meens, among other things, greatly in- creased markets for agricultural commodities, right at their door.

The affairs of this organiza- tion have gone from badto worse originating in errors of judgment on the part of the management and in quite natural trading misfort- unes. The chief trouble however was in the calibre of the manne- ment. An exchange says "that the men 'at the head of it were infill)‘ able and wasted the farmers‘ funds. In other parts of Canada as well as in Manitoba there are men handling the farmers funds. This is a matter which the farmers by their votes should be particularly careful of. In our own Province within the next few weeks our far- >mers will be called upon to elect the men who are to administer their funds, waste their money or so administer it as to be a blessing or a. curse to the Province. Let our farmers remember this when se- lectlng their administrators. A glance over the public accounts of the past three years should serve as a guide in this matter. The Soviet Government of Russia is launching the largest internal loan in its history, amounting to 2160000000. The loan is to mature in 10 years and is to bear interest at i0 per cent. The city population under Soviet conditions is so high- ly organized that the distribution of State bonds is a comparatively easy matter. The peasants apprec- iably lagged behind the cities in their subscriptions to previous loans, but it is believed that the collective farms represent a new and potent agency for persuading the peas- ants to subscribe their quota. Surely the aid-to-aficr-dinner speakers adopted at a banquet in a middle western city of the United States is one of the strangest ideas that has ever emanated from that prolific source of oddities. 'I‘here were eight speakers and a. disting- uished toastmaster and the total time for speaking was one hour. At each plate a slip of paper had been placed containing all the Jokes the speakers had intended to insert in their "well chosen remarks.” It then explained: "It has seemed to us that we consume a. good deal of time lis- ‘tcning to witty stories and so we thought it best to furnish you with a special assortment of "snappy humor, so that you may insert a joke into each speech at the proper moment. All the speaker has to do' is to say: “See Joke 23,’ and then slide smoothly to his next landing." "rennr5§‘l'l‘was the indulgence of a. humorous experiment which might entertain by its novelty and perhaps it was greater wisdom than its originator realized. And there are some, no doubt, who think it should have been the serious parts of the speeches that should have been printed and the jokes told, for a written anecdote can never equal a well-told story-And there are still others ready to ‘do without the food if they can have the humor, but the combination of good food in moderation and jollity in abundance can not be-‘beaten. 1 Of all the spineless, uncompre- liendng Governments we have ever had in Great Britain this of Mr. MacDonald's has been the worst, says the London Dally Express. The Dominions rebuffed and alienated; the Indian problem perilously mud- died; unemployment mounting up withopt striking from Ministers a single spark of constructive states- manship; industry bedevilled by wanton legislation; the dole allow- ed to fasten itself upon the nation as-a. terrible and wuting disease; not a step in the direction of a tar- iff that would save British agricul- ture, revitalize British trade, and promote the fiscal unity of the Em- pire; nothing but the bewildered groping of inexperienced men who have left the country to be run by the permanent officials. It is one of the supreme paradoxes of the present depression that wheat cannot be sold at a profit be- cause there is too much of it; the industrial countries cannot sell to the agricultural countries because "my are too poor to buy. The inter- national regulation of the distribu- tion of wheat is one of. the dim- tions towards vhlch, if this were a sane world, we might look with 50ml? hvpe- But in the case of wheat as in that of most other f‘ ’ a1 articles of exchange, the tech- nique of international collaboration is only at the begznnlng. lltbat . 5°"? of - finurs Bylaws: W. Harlan. MD DEFECTIVE HEARING millions of deafened children. diseases of adult life. What is the lesson? quent colds, of head or throat, running up from the throat to the middle ear, should have their hear- ing tested frequently. Many youngsters who have to stay home from school frequently, be- cause of head and throat colds, re- turn to school with the hearins somewhat affected, and are unable to hear and grasp all that the tea- cher is saying. Many of these youngsters are considered stupid or backward, when as a matter of fact, they Just do not hear properly. And it is these cases of partial deafness that are usually not dis- covered, because there is nothing to show that the ears are affected in any way. The youngster that has ‘running’ ears naturally receives attention, prevent permanent deafness in most cases. of the diseases of childhood-meas- les, scarlet fever, ' and diphtheria often affect the ear, and Dr. E. M. Freund, Albany, N. Y., suggests that a child's hearing should be tested after any of these illnesses even if there is no sign of any ear trouble during the illness. The cerumen or wax is sometimes mistaken for a running ear. but this is a. natural secretion of the canal of the ear and gives no trouble Youngsters who often get water in the ears, and others who push in absorbent cotton or other substances sometimes pack the wax against the eardrum, and it becomes so hard that the drum can't vibrate props:- ly. Syringing the ear with baking sodaand warm water, a teaspoonful to a. pint, usually removes the hard- ened wax. So if the youngster “doesn't seem to hear you” when you speak, and you have to repeat your questions or orders, it would be very wise to have his hearing tested. Much can be done for the ‘hearing during childhood. Education In Agriculture (Ottawa Journal) The last census of Canada show- ed that over one-third of those working at gainful pursuits in this country were farmeis . ‘it was a‘so shown that the value of buildings, lands, implements, and mach‘nery belonging to farmers amounted to over $B,027,000,000. During the years’I924 to 1928 inclusive, the average value of the annual agri- cultural revenue of Canada was $i,6'l0,000,000. This was more than three times the value of minerals, bined. These figures surely em- phasize in an unmistakable manner the fact that agriculture is by far our greatest primary or extractive industry. It would be r fine thing for Canada if there ex i:ted a more general nationa appreciation and realizatiln of til vitally important place that agri- culture occupies in this country. The mode of life of a. large majority of the people in Canada depends upon the prosperity of those en- gaged ln agriculture. In fact, the condition of agriculture is a national concern second to no other. It is the one industry which should, before and above all others, receive national consider- ation and support because more of our citizens depend on it, and to greater extent, than on any other industry in the Domlnion- xiir Horace Plunkett has said: "The well-living o fa people is like i tree: agriculture is its root, manufacture: and -- are its br ' and its life; if the root is injured, the leaves fall, the branches break away, and the tree dies."

And we are doing so not for a local but for a national purpose, in_ order that the grain, not moved out of the Great Lakes in the Fall of the year, may find access to the mar- kets of the world at the lowest pos- sible rate. And this applies not only to grain but to other commodities as well, both outgoing and incom- ing. It is one of my ambitions, if I have any-and I confess to having a few-that these harbors should be free ports, and I have given some attention to them in that sense. .

In other words, our plan looks to a gradual, steady and continuous development over per- haps half a century. What I did» suggest ,in connection with the work ‘of Bit Alexander Gibbs, whom I have not seen personally. was that this work might be carried on look- ing towards a development over s. period of half s. century-culmin- Premier Bennettis, Ambitions For, Cdnadais Ocean Ports From Hansel-d, dune .38. involving‘ the expvndllln‘ basis that hs‘ was asked to nllkfl I made statements both in Halifaxihis report.

Town planning is car- ried on, with s. general conception o: the needs of community, and these h rs should be built upon a simil plan. When as I young man I first wentto London tilat port was not regarded as having the facilities of, say the port of Liver- pool, butthe port of London, not- ably under‘ the chairmanship of the late lord Davenport, became a wonderful place. The character of the work carried on there is beyond any description which could be made by sn_.hon. member of this House in s few minutes. I look for- ward to something of that sort in respect to these harbors. mor- inous sums of money have been ex- pended on the hsrbcr ofMontreal, but this is’ neither the time nor the place iodisoilss what in my Juds- ment hasvimperiilod that port; this can be discussed at mother time.
