' The unanimous vote which the Hour-n of Commons gave on Monday in favor oi a second reading oi the Unemployment Insurance bill was a striking evidence oi the widespread popularity of the measure. Accord- ing to the Canadian Press, it was lie first time in memory that such a thing had happened on an im- portant Government bill. On some occasions the House has been un- animous on minor questions when recorded votes have been taken, but usually, in such cases, the vote la not recorded. In this instance the vote is particularly significant. as - Mr. Macken‘ King and his fol- lowers pro‘ ’ to be opposed to Q measure on constitutional grounds. When the show-down came and a. vote was called, they failed to stand by their guns. Answering arguments advanced against the constitutionality of the measure, the Prime Minister said it could not be enacted by the legis- lature oi any province and, as the power must reside somewhere, thn Federal Parliament was competent to enact it. It was a national mat- ter on which the people oi Canada as s. whole had to speak. through their elected representatives in Parliament. Where reform legisla- tion of this kind is admittedly needed, it is not constitutional tech- nicalities that the electors are in- ' forested in. but action.

MARKET There has been a steady lncmase in Canadian efports to the United Kingdom market during the past ' year, and an increasingly friendly disposition towards Canadian goods prevails as a. result of the present policy oi encouraging mutual trade, writes Mr. Frederic I-ludd, Canadian Trade Commissioner in London, in the forthcoming issue of the Com- mercial intelligence Journal. A noteworthy example is the increased ‘7- - purchases by Canada of coal from South Wales which have resulted in the employment of many who ' ‘ would otlwerwisc b: unemployed. This has naturally resulted in an increased measure of goodwill to- wards Canada which may be cap- italized in the greater sale oi Can- adian products. Much was accom- pllshed as a result of indications that the Canadian and United Kingdom authorities were prepared to co-operatc in solving the cus- toms problems of exporters in the I respective countries. The possibilit- ies of the United Kingdom as a market for Canadian products are by no means exhausted. London and the more densely populated areas oi the United Kingdom are con- suming larger quantities oi Can- adian goods. particularly foodstuffs. and Canadian raw materials find their way into practically all im- portant industrial areas, while the eilorts to popularize Canadian goods by Government agencies and Can- ‘, adian firms and their United King- ; dom representatives are more in- ‘tensive than ever. The Canadian exporter must, of course. continue to be willing to study the tastes of the mitish consumer, and be ready to adapt his product to meet chang- ‘ ing needs and standards. This im- poses upon Canadian exporters to _; the United Kingdom a further obli- gation to maintain quality and w assure adequate distribution, par- ; ticuiarly in view oi the steadily is‘ . growing demand ior products oi a f’ class and character similar to lines in demand in the United Kingdom i, previously imported from non-Em- ’ lire countries.

The greatness oi Premier Bennett as a world s" ‘ becomes mom marked with the passage oi time. It is not so very long ago since he went to London first and by his ability, resourcefulness. powers oi oratory and pleasing ersonality, compelled British and other Dom- inion statesmen to submit to his leadership. Today he is outstanding- ly the most brilliant oi our public men, and his speech on Saturday before the Canadian Society of New York, was carried almost in iull by leading American news- papers-an honor seldom conferred upon a foreign political speaker in the States. _. . s... ryb‘ In the old days, when surgery was not the finished sciewe it is today, it used to be said-“opera- tion successful, but patient died."

Whether one likes an English- man or not is strangely dependent on how far one has actually pene- trated into his psyche. One can like e.

Usually the deeper you get, the better you will like him. but he does not wear his heart 0n his sleeve, and he takes a bit oi knowing. It is not possible for any on": to be enthusiastic all the tirne—but it is possible for a man to appear so.

McKinley oi the Ottawa juvenile court is oi particular value: "I have no hesitation in saying that scouting is a wonderful force ior good, especially among under-priv- ilegnd boys. Many boys go wrong simply because they have no proper channels to give outlet to their physical and mental energies. As a result they make associations and form habits which ultimately lead to serious wrong-doing. In scouting such boys are afforded a splendid outlet for their energies.

FOOT Ii-ln.l.'...l.\ Cr.‘ With feet that are weak or pain- ful or both you are not only unable to do many of the common Jobs in life, but the distress causes a dark outlook on life itself. Health writers including myself write about the feet often, and try to pass along the latest opinions and findings oi our orthopedic physic- ians and surgeons. But as Dr. Rex L. Diveley of Kansas City. Mo. points out, the amount oi foot dis-- orders due to foot imbalance is steadily mounting. and unfortun- ately physicians are allowing the management oi these cases to fall into the hands oi shoe salesmen and the manufacturers oi various forms oi arch supports. There are two basic forms oi foot imbalance: (1) the so-calied flat foot with the bones in the ..1ner side of the foot right down instead oi being held up in the iorm oi the arch; and (2) the high arched ioot with the "ball" of the foot very prominent instead oi being in the form of an arch. ‘Yhc ordinary flat foot as you know has the toes turned outward from the middle line instead oi straight forward or even inward. The first symptom is a tired feeling and pain in the calf oi the leg. Later the pain occurs in the bones cf the foot which form the arch. With the higher arch type with the prominent “bali" oi the foot, the big bone at the beginning of the big toe stands out and the big toe is turned outward from the middle line. There is often a "bunion" on this big bone. hummer toe (no movement in the Joint oi the toe it- self) and callous or hard spots on the bail of the ioot. The pain is usually in the bali oi the foot. The treatment of ioot imbalance consists of the wearing oi proper shoes which should be: (l) straight line on inner side in- toes.‘ and should have plenty of room at the bull oi the shoe; (2) the heel should extend a little farther forward on the inner side; (3) there should be a built-in sup- port from the heel to the bend of the sole at the toes. After the proper shoe is fitted, supports made oi sponge rubber are shaped to the ioot and fitted into the shoe. I Finally, exercises such as gripping a marble with the toes, and walk- ing on the outer sides oi the feet should be taken to pull up the arch- es and hold them up. It may be a slow process for put- lent and Physician but the feet are as flevewiry as the head in making aliving. ~__ —————i-vy‘ v l THE WAY Young man. your dreams of beauty‘ fade Beneath tho sun because untrue.

DEFENDING THE GUILTY Sin-The I-iauptmann trial will bring up that old debating question: "is a lawyer Justified in defending a guilty client?" While no one will deny that the accused should be ai- lowed every lawful means of prov- ing their innocence, it -is hard to see how it is right or just to help the guilty to escape by persistent lying or by the atrocious crime of putting the guilt on an innocent person. When lawyers put their clients up to such a defence, how can they clear their skirts of such iniquity? It is surely a debesing spectacle to see deiencelawyers crowding around their client to congratulate him on his-agility in lying and in implicat- ing the innocent! Again, what is the sense of swear- ing persons, who “neither fear God nor regard man?" Anyone capable oi murder, kidnapping, burglary, or any low crime, will have no scruplcs about false swearing. What reliance can be put on the testimony of such criminals? Any- one putting another up to false swearing is, in my opinion, guilty of the crime of perjury.

We have been doing this for many years, keeping pace with the slow growth oi population and the demands oi increasing in- dustrial centres.
