Grant -. enting on the vote in Parliament of $300,000 to “needy fishermen,” the Liberal or- ~ gan hiya: “We note that a section of the press ‘‘ has -interpreted that this grant for fishermen meanithat it is solely to help fishermen who _ ca.nn‘qt make their living from the industry and " to find other jobs for them. We have read over ,1 Mr, MIC!-IAUD’s remarks in Hartford very care-. fullyand cannot find that they are subject to such an interpretation." This statement is deliberately misleading,.in- .. asmuch as it is not “a section of the press" but I ‘-"’Mr. rum, Liberal M. P., for Halifax who if thu s interpreted the Fisheries Minister's statement that this grant was to be used “to help the provinces to discharge their obligation to- wards individuals who no longer find it profit- able to exercise their right to use the fisheries." ——(Han.rard, April 28). Mr. FINN understood this to mean “that this $300,000 is not for fisher- _mcn at all; that it is for those who cannot fish any more, Wlin cannot go out in their boats to set their nets." And he went on to complain of the lack of i_nforination available and to de- nounce the KING Government in round set terms for the paltry nature of the grant and the lack of a concrete policy to aid the fisheries. One thing significant in the Minister's sttemcnt was that amounts paid out of the grant ‘ilTa—be in equal proportion to amounts con- ’ uted b_v the ‘Provinces. In other \vords. it is be a fifty-fifty proposition. How much will e needy fishermen of this Province receive out f the federal grant? Not more than $8,000, for 5. us was the amount which the CAMPBELL Gov- ‘ 'nmerit asked the Legislature to appropriate for llS purpose. A total expenditure of $16,000 would certainly not go far in relieving conditions. In the meantime, we note that the Nova Scotia Government has put through an appropri- ation of $100,000 for the purpose of taking ad- vantage of this grant. The Scrip In Alberta -4,,-Q,-. .,. w-16.. A newspaper correspondent has been inter- viewing Social Credit members of the ABERHART government on the proposed introduction of the scrip into circulation in Alberta. He was told it would be confined in the first place to roadwork .. under the Government Relief Scheme, and only 1 -- a third of the business of the retail trade would ' be afl'cctcd thereby, since all commodities import- cd from outside the province would be handled with ordinary bank money in all transactions. The scrip would be good only within the ' province, it is emphasized. Under no condition could it be tciidcrcd for pa_\'mcnt of imported goods or iii inter—provincial business. But, say Government leaders, the fact that only one-third of business would he done in scrip—or possibly less than that fraction——would mean that ordin- _ary overhead of any one business could be ab- sUi‘iied.in whole or in part by this fraction, and thatiprofits of the business could be taken out of the other two-thirds of the business, which would , be transacted in ordinary bank money. Example of the operation of this scrip system was given as follows: The Government issues part of the wages aid to highway workers in scrip—-for instance, : it might pay in scrip an amount equal to that now ' paid in relief. A scrip certificate for $50 is paid to a workman. If that man spends the scrip im- mediately, he gets face value for it. If he waits over a certain period of time, however, he must - afiix a two per cent. or $1 stamp to it. This stamp is bought from the Government. Each week thereafter, no matter who holds the scrip at that time, a $1 Government stamp ,‘ must be affixed, and this goes on for a wholg v r. Thus the Government has collected $52 in stamps-for that certificate, although it has still paid out no actual money for it. But when the last stamp is attached, the holder at that time can take the ,scrip to the Government's Treasury De- "paifincnt and there get in exchange for it the fllce Value Of the ccrtificate——5o—in ordinary ' bank money. “We are supposed to pay out $4,000,000 in lellef allowances this year," one Government oficial said. “Now, supposing when we start a ‘work-and-wages programme on highways, we pay even $2,000,000 of that money out in scrip. At the end of the year, that amount has turned . over often enough to total business of $20,000,- ,‘ O00,‘n10re‘or less." Editorial Notes .

S. Govern- ment, elected on a. promise to get rid of the Mounties, to write to the Federal Minister of Defence expressing appreciation of the work of the force in connection with the Moose River Mine disaster. In other words, the ANGUS MAC- DONALD government came into power “to curse (all mountics) and remained to praise them.” ¥ § * About the only member of the Provincial Legislature with any influence at Ottawa is Mr. J. WALTER JoNEs. He it was who got Mr. LARA- BEE, M.P., a life-time job at $3,500 per annum plus expenses; and he, too, was the one to get fox feed on the free list.

Now it budgets for $26,000,000, claiming a reduction. As a mat- tor of fact it is spending $7,000 more than its predecessors plus $3,000,000 for Labour Camps which it has transferred to the C. N.

If Presi- dent RoosEvELT, by eliminating Congress and ig- noring the Constitution, had increased t e num- ber of jobs in the country, reduced the numbers on relief, had spent the nation's savings wisely and well, and set the nation on its way rejoicing. his re-election would now be certtain. He would be sitting cheerfully on the top of America and his opponents would be forced to bide their time and watch as patiently as they could for the turn of the tide that awaits all dictatorships, successes and failures alike. *6 *6 it Who would have thought it? In this expen- sive electric province we hold the record for the paucity of our divorces yet cheap electric power will decrease divorces, Mayor FIORELLO H. LA- GUARDIA of New York declared in an address at Portland, Ore., where he and several other delegates to the Conference of Mayors inspected the Federally constructed $40,000,000 Bonne- ville power project. Mayor LAGUARDIA pointed out that with cheap power it will be possible to relieve the housewife of drudgery, thereby con- tributing to an ideal home life. But it is just as likely to create a body of absentee mothers. v as Demonstrating the advancement and prac- tical use of two-way radio communication by the use of ultra short-wave transmitting and receiv- ing sets for forestry patrol service in Northern Ontario. Mr. J. E. WATSON, superintendent of provincial radio, department of lands and forests set up portable equipment in two different loca- tions in the Elgin-Adelaide, Toronto exchange and actually demonstrated how communications between lookout towers will be conducted, The tower observer may call another tower at will without the necessity of maintaining schedules. Communication is carried out on a wave length of 7 metres, using a very low output power. Tests have indicated that adequate reliable cov- erage can be attained up to 45 miles irrespective of atmospheric conditions. K X if It was Sir WILFRID LAURIER who declared that “when Britain is at war Canada is at war," epitomizing the whole ethics of Commonwealth responsibility. This is how Professor STANLEY RYERSON of McGill University expresses the same’ idea under “For Canada to think that, being equally distant from the two great theatres of imminent war— Central Europe or the Mongolian-Soviet border —it was immune from either was a fatal illusion. War today is the result of imperialistic struggle for world markets, and Canada was situated be- tween the two largest commercial powers and rivals. Canada is tied up directly with British and American economy, and both those nations are clashing for premier position in world commerce. Besides, this country bear: all the earmarks of a minor imperialistic power itself and the prob- lcm of world markets is_ important to it." *6 !l( 3lE Premier ABILRHART is still prophesying suc- cess for Social Credit.

He predicted there would be an increased demand for food, when Social Credit is introduced, and,"we will have to sup- ply it." “We must be ready to grow or be aide- tueked by outside industries,” Mr. Aauzimrrr said.

Lately there has been much ln newapa, and magazine advertise- ments regarding what is called ‘athlete's foot’. where the skin on and between the toes becomes red- dish white and little pimples or blisters are present. It has been shown to be contagious and. in golf, athletic and other organizations fresh straw slippers are provided so that the feel. may not come in con- tact. with the floors used by those already suffering with this ailment. other organizations provide a foot. tank containing an antiseptic through which members must. walk to and from the shower baths. The usual treatment is to keep the feet clean. dry the feet thor- oughly after washing, and the use of various olntments containing mercury, salicylic acid and other substances. . In some eases when there is pres- ent on the feet a. type of little pus- t.ules—ptmples containing pus—very similar to ringworm on the hands and feet, Drs. G. C. Andrews and G. F. Machacek in Archives of Der- matology, Chlcago, state that some of these eruptions persist despite treatment because of infection. The infections are located chiefly i_ri the tonsils but also in abscessed teeth. Conditions such as ulcer of the first or upper part of the mall intestine, chronic inflammation of the large intestine and rheumatism (arth- ritis) often occur. Of a total of twenty-four patients, nlne have been entirely cured by the removal of the tonsils. Three others were greatly improved after removal of the tonsils but there were slight. traces of “scallness" or scales on the hands and feet which however caused no inconvenience. One case of interest was where there was some doubt as to the ton- sils being the cause; but suction of the tonsils (pumping them out with 8 Special pump) showed that after each suction the skin condition im- proved; when suction was stopped the eruption became worse. Two weeks after the tonsils were remov- ed there was a complete cure which has lasted two years. In this type of infection It is not UEUEHY the toes and in between the toes that are affected, n5 is the case with athletes’ foot or ringworm. Emden At Montreal (Exchange) The visit of the Emden to Mont- real thls summer has been the cause of some discussion in Parliament. on behalf of the Government, it. was announced that the Emden had not been invited to come to the Canadian port but. that the Gov. ernment. away back in September. acquiesced in the suggesetlon of a visit when the proposal was made by the German Government.

Britain’s Food Supply (Mall and Empire) The place of Canadian food PTO‘ ducts in Empire defence is the sub- JOEL of a timely article in Canadas Weekly, the only journal devoted to Anglo-Canadian trade published in Great Britain. It. says that exP€T1‘ enoe since the Ottawa agreement-5 suggests the need for readjustments on both sides, especially since it. is necessary to keep in view the new considerations which will be upper- most. in the minds of the British negotiators. An insistent demand has arisen for B. higher standard of living for the poorer section of the British population, especially those who have now to rely upon public as- sistance, or whose wages are so low , as to put a. really ntrltlous dlet beyond their means. The recent. report of Sir John Orr, compiled in association with the Rowett Instit- ute of Aberdeen and the British Government Market Supply Com- mittee, suggests that only about half the people of the United Kingdom are living at a level of nutrition so high according to modern standards, that on the average no improvement can be effected by increased con- sumption. There rem;-.ln.s the other half of the population. An effort will be made to raise the level of nutrition in their daily diet. Empire defence is the other out- standing consideration in the minds of British publicists when dealing with this food problem. Recently the 'newly—appolnted Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence. Sir Thomas Inskip. held a conference with the agricultural members of the British Parliament. It is his business to see the‘ peace-time. as well as war-time. plans as afiectlng ailriculture and industry have their olace in the policy of British and Empire defence. The storage of wheat and other food products against times of emergency is one of the first matters to engage the attention of Sir Thomas. Under ,_.....
