We just have had the experience of the vlsitbf the Enlplre Parliamentary Association, representatives of the governing bodies of the whole of our United Empire. They came, saw, met and got acquainted with life and con- ditions here, and, accordingtotheir own showing. they have left with very happy impressions of our peo- ple and the homes in which they live, move and have their being, Informal interchange of views be- tween the visitors and those they‘ met did more to enlighten one an- other as to the different viewpoints than years of controversy or the reading of official publications. The human touch, the friendly hand grasp, the viva-voce questioning and explanations on matters of common interest, make more for the brotherhood of man than any other means oi communicationand education the human mind has conceived. We welcome such con- ferences, therefore, and hope many conventions and gatherings of the kind will meet in our midst as time rolls on. ‘Today another great convention ‘foregathers here in the Maritime Synod of the Presbyterian Church in ‘Canada. It is nearly ten years since it was previously convened here. and much ecclesiastical his- tor-y has been written in the inter- val. It is not for us as a commu- nity enter into the why and thc wherefore of organizations, or to discuss their merits or otherwise; all we have to do is to extend the hand of cordial welcome and make their stay in our midst as pleasant as possible. Charlottetown and the Province is Setting better and more widely known as a suitable place for great conventions and no- table gatherings. The Canadian Medical A iation last summer did a very great deal to publish ‘abroad our manifold advantages in thiirespect; and we are sure the members of the Presbyterian Syn- od, about to be convened, will not be slow to appreciate them. We ‘extend a hearty welcome to them and trust they will have a profit- able and enjoyable stay in our Pro- vince during the present week. 4-0>——-~ U. S. GETS LIONS SHARE. ADA'S trade with the United ‘ States continues to be a theme for exultation in the American press. The Foreign Commerce De- partment of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has analyzed the figures. "Canada" we are informed by a recent Wash- ington despdtch, “with a population of about 9,400,000. somewhat less than that of the’ metropolitan dis- a-lét of the city of New York,in the t half of this year purchased American IOOds r amountins W 0420300300, or 18.1 per cent. of our total exports, thus becoming by far our most important market, having outdfltanced her nearest competi- flit, tho United Kingdom, by nearly Q millhns oi dollars. Our Canadian Dighboril, in displacing the United kingdom as our best cuotomenin- ceased their purchases nearly six and‘ one-half per cent, buying 846.10 worth oi the American goods per capito in the six months." This ilafurthcrnsultofthcliingflov- - moment's policy of Icglolatiug for tho grcatcot good of the greatest number-in tho United States. Int you Canadians purchased $16,000,000 worth of United States commoditlel. "hi!" Americans pur- chgo‘ from Canada‘ only 0402.000,- _ pup and nickel. that America is sending tourists into Canada who, it is estimated. will spend over $4°9.°°°.°°° ""5 year. They will travel by train. boat, and by three million autos. This is a very large amount of business, but, as the Vancouver Sun points out, Canada sends more tourists proportionately to the United States than our southern neighbors send to us. The tourist tramc at best is a seasonable and migratory business that fiits all over the globe, and hgs little to do with trade although trade does fol- low the tourists. For every dollar that Canada spends on the pur- chase of United States commodit- ies, Canada is entitled to expect United States to spend 8n equal amount with Canada. This is the whole point, so ~far as Canadian-B are concerned. We cannot expect our American neighbors to see the justice of this argument, nor do we need to consult them about the matter. Our tariff policy is in our own hands. It is time that we ceased looking to Washington and consulted our own interests. -i<-o->—-——— TIIE PEDESTRIAN. E rights of‘ pedestrians on the city streets have been the sub- ject of much comment in the press recently. both in the United States and Canada. The problem, it ap- pears, is equally diflicult of solu- tion in connection with the high- ways of the country. The situation of‘ the person who walks on a. coun- try highway has been greatly changed by the increased volume of motor tramc. In years gone by suoh persons had no sidewalk to use, it is true, -but they usually found a beaten path by the road- side, and if they did occasionally stray on to the road itself it was necessary to watch only for horse- drawn vehicles moving at moderate rates of speed. Today the pedes- trian on the country roads is still without a sidewalk, and theiroad in many instances runs between ditch- es. He has his choice of walkihg on the rough ground beyond the ditches, or on the road itself, and if he elects to use the highway he must be vigilant to avoid beins struck down by motor vehicles pass- ing frequently at high speed. Every- where the danger and inconveni- ence have increased, with no com- pensating advantages. A cartoonist has depicted, in a satirical vein, what may be ex- pected in the evolution of the ped- estrian during the next few hun- dred years. He may developakind of defensive natural armour, re- sembling front and rear automobile bumpers; he will be far nlmbler on his feet than the pedestrian of to- day, and his eyes will be koener and will have the capacity of see- ing in two directions at once and even around corners. Yet with all these defences he will tend to be- come a rare specie: and eventually will have to be confined to reserv- ations. The day may come, it is predicted, when the last pedestrian will be "bagged" and only a few embalmed specimens will be avail- able for the museums. Centuries will roll by. and the very memory of the existence of such a creature will become faint and confused. Myths will grow around him, and he. will finally take his place. with the Ccntatu and the Hlpoosflfl- among the fabulous monsters o.’ antiquity. " ' '.

This ll how the Sounder: Government a moi-dag u» Prohibition ads. As A Notes by theWay IT was a great bargain that was made by Sir John Macdonald and his colleagues when in their first term of oiiloe they bought the Northwest Territories from the ‘Hud- son Bay Company for $1,500,000. Two millions of prosperous Cana- dians are living in that region now, who produced this year half a bil- lion bushels of wheat, to say noth- lng of vast quantities of other grains, with live stock and other farm products galore. All this, to say nothing of lumber and mineral wealth, worth hundreds of times the purchase price, came into Canada's possession as the result of fthat epoch-making bargain. Weigh against it all that Liberal Govern- ments from Alexander Mackenzie to Mackenzie King have done to make the Dominion what it is, and what do they amount to? The ropulation‘ of the United Kingdom in 1870 was 26,072,000. Now it is 44,182,000. In 1870 the voters numbered between four and a half and five millions. Today they are estimated at twenty-two mil- lions, twelve and a half million men and nine and a half, million women, which does not includethe recently eiifranchlsed, “Flapper Vote."- which it is computed will add another fivo millions. "The question is some- times put whether our national characteristics have altered," says Lord Riddeli, and he goes on to say, "There appears to be no evidence that they have. The British were still the same energetic, enterpris- ing, good-natured, tolerant race. On the other hand, there hasbeen a vast change in external condi- tions." ' ' Peat for fuel is still being tested at Alfred, Ont., where a new plant was completed four months ago, and has been operating day and night for 100 days. This season, owing to many rainy days, about 10,000 tons of merchantable peat will be turned out, while in more favorable sea- sons twice that quantity can be pro- duced. Another peat plant is now being constructed at a bog near St. Hyacinthe. Quebec, with an sti- mated producing capacity of 15,000 tons on a new plan. A powerful hydraulic engine will lift the peat and water and dump the mixture into shallow basins, where the water will be drained ofl and the peat will then be sun-dried and cut into blocks for transportation. Prohibition received a set-backin Australia when the bone-dry pro- posal was defeated by a vote of two and a half to one recently. what has happened in New South Wales resembled what is happening in Canada and elsewhere. Unexpected evils follow in its train and the dlfllculties of effectually enforcing a law to which so many are oppos- ed seem to be insurmountable. Mr. Hoover in his presidential platform says the Eighteenth Amendment was "noble in its purpose," and so it was in the minds of its sincerest advocates, but the purpose of the man who says to his neighbor: "I don't drink and therefore you must not," is selfish rather than noble. France has now appointed o. Min- ister to Canada in the person of Hon. Georges Knight. _His offices. secured by the French Government, face the ParliamenthBullding and will be ready in October. The Jap- anese Government have secured offices in the same building for their Minister. In the same block will be the ofilces of Sir William Clark, British High Commissioner. and the new building for the Unit- ed States Embassy. There will be a plentiful supply of am- bassadors in Ottawa hereafter, as well as a plenty of Canadian am- bassadors scattered from Washing- ton to Tokyo. Thus the Dominion makes its grand entry into the dip- lomatic arena. ’ . ._.....

In ‘our own city a number of prominent citi- zena have had narrow escapes from instant death recently, and the peril to pedestrian- in crossing the streets seems to be increasing. More and more bicycles are also appear- ing on our streets of late, and these are a source of danger to their rid- ers and a further call for the great- est care and skill in car drivers. .._____ llhllg the loll lmtcad of farm- ing it, in the grave charge that an obccrvant Parliamentary delegate maker ‘against the western grain- growcrs.

Blltififl- MD GALE BLADDER INDIGESTION Perhaps you are a sufferer, with pains in the abdomen, and after de- ciding that these are not simple gas pains. YQllr doctor has in mind a‘ chronic appendix, or a chronic in- tlammatlon of the gall bladder. That fullness after meals, gas dis- tention, mcre or less stomach dis- comfort, amounting sometimes to actual pain, is known as gall blad- der dyspepsia. Dr. Jno. B. Deaver says that "it is a well established fact that, next to chronic appendicitis. chronic dis- ease of the gall bladder is the most common cause of pain in the region of the stomach. I have spoken before of the Gra- ham-Cole method of diagnosing gall bladder trouble by means, of a dye. The dye shows up the gall bladder by the use of the X ray, and if it is‘ in‘ proper position, has no irregu- larities in outline, it is considered normal. Dr. Moynihan, the British surg- eon, says that if the dye does not show up the shadow of the" gall bladder, ii the shadow shows irregu- larities, or if the shadow is late in appearing after the dye is taken, that the gall bladder should be re- moved. Now while there are a great many people living who have had the gall bladder removed, you can avoid any need for such "fin operation by watching what to eat so as to pre- vent_ discomfort. Greasy. heavy, or very acid foods will cause an m. easiness in the stomach, and is a direct command to you to avoid-pork, liver, goose, duck, oysters, and shell, fish. rich soups, cabbage, cauliflower. sauer- kraut, raw vegetables, onions, ber- ries, figs, nuts, sweets, pie. fats and oils, and alcohol. You may eat green vegetables, as- paragus, spinach, peas, some pota- toes. cooked breakfast foods, fresh‘ meat, Vwhite fish, 688s in model-m tion. small amount of butter, toast, 5w"... lettuce. plain cake, puddings, srflpefruit, oranges. Further. as mentioned to often before, if you will ‘keep your [fiver stirred up by a little daily exercise you will not only .keep free from gall bladder indigestion, but can eat just about anything you like o www» an wwnww-o HOUSEHOLD ' SCRAP BOOK.

The Duke of Devonshire con- nection with Canada was. s8 thB forty-ninth Governor-General.» of Canada from 1916 until~ lllfllycthlls covering the last two ‘years :0! the Great War, succeeding the Dulce of Connaught. It was during his regime that the Union Government was formed to facilitate war pre- paratlons and activities, and com- British ‘Policy at League Assembly _ (Lakln Johnston in the V ncouve Province) Great Britain is determined to avoid any repetition oi’ the fiasco of i last year's naval disarmament con-i ference. Twice during the current| session of the League Assembly at Geneva, Lord Cushendun, the Brit-l ish representative on the Council‘ has made this clear. Ten days ago,‘ he deprecated the setting of a "def-i inlte date for the next meetingmf the preparatory commission oi dis-- armament and on Tuesday he ob- jected to the proposal of the Dutoh chairman that a private meeting be- tween representatives or Britain, Germany. France, Italy, Japan and United tales should be held in Par- is, to find a basis on which the dis- armament commission would con- tinue its work. With regard to the latter proposal, lord Cushendun pointed out that it would amount to a premature reviewer the Washing- ton agreement of 1022, which auto- iréigiicallyxwlll come up for review in Britain Between Two Desires frhe furor over the Anglo-French naval compromise-has given Britain additional warning of the immense difficulty of bringing into line her desire for‘ friendly relations, on the one handi with.‘ the United States and on the other to preserve stab- ility and peace among the nations of Europe. And it may be said here that one oi’ the chief intricacies and difficulties of modern diplomacy of "cards-on-the-table" type is the irn- mense industry and ability to man- ufacture ulterior motives, where none exist, of the European corres- pondents of United States newspap- ers. Notoriously. the’ British Govern- ment lags behind all other powers in the matter of propaganda. It‘ has never attempted, by means of prop- 0581168. t0 eXlllain its motives or actions. and, when unjust criticism breaks out, prefers to allow time to justify its position. In the present instance. it may be expected t ere. fore in certain quarters. the B lsh attitude will be construed as a dc- slre to postpone disarmament for some unnamed reason. The only an- swer-to this unjust’ accusation is to be found in Lord Cushendens rec- "lt Speech to the Assembly in which, without heroics, he stated wards disar ament. while others‘ had talked far more about it from across the Atlantic. The question of European‘ disarmament may seem comparatively simple. A closer view reveals the immense complications anything approaching permanent peace in Europe. ‘ I. England's’ Position '- f England ls in Europe, but no of it, If she could, she would sever er- self from all Eruropean entangle- ments and _alliances and ‘assume again her role of "splendid isola. tion" but. whether she wills or not, this can not be, at any rate in the view of the present government, for such policy so strongly advocated by lord Beaverbrook. would entail her establishing herself in a position of such strength that her isolation from possible European wars could not be threatened. Britain's detach- ment from European troubles can Only be attained if and when the Empire and the United States stand together as a unit against war. The- oretically. since the signing of the Kellogg pact. this cbndition exists today. Practically it is hard to find that it does exist. The ‘present position of the Rhine- land problem would seem to demon- strate force has by no means been displaced in Europe as a means of national policy. The continued pres- ence of an Allied force on German S011. it is argued, can only be regard- ed as use of force to compel the ac- complishment of certain policies. Public opinion in England is large- ly Opposed to Lhflmaintenance of any British troops on GeT-man soil. but. without sacrificing the friend- ship of France, the small British force can not well be withdrawn.

Supporters of thoi French viewpoint argue that, for. one hundred years and more, France has never been victorious in war. Is it reasonable. they ask, now that France for once is victor, to ask her to give up the sanctions which she holds for due performance of the peace treaty stipulations, or ‘to fore- go the chance of making her enemy pay for establishing her defense‘. There may be ustification for such arguments, but they are hardly in accord with the spirit of the Kellogg pact.
