another chunk of China, and invariably in the region she covets.It is significant that Japan's anxiety to preserve order in China invariably synchronizes with uneasiness In Europe, which distracts the attention of Western powers from the Far Eastern situation, Or rather leaves them impotent to do more than utter feeble non-official Censure.Japan's latest move comes at a time when uncertainty as to Germany's next move and apprehen- slon of Mussolini's Ethiopian adventure have ruled Burope almost entirely out of the Chinese picture.Japan's solicitude concerning foreign business in North China ls à matter of grim amusement to European and Amer- fran managers in that region who prefer the slackness of indigenous government to the efficiency of Jap- ânese rule.That efficiency, so far as already conquered districts are con- plete domination of all China, which Japan reluctantly dropped in 1918 on British and American insistenpe, ls \u2014to pour out unlimited blood and treasure to achieve.Is this very serious problem, not Merely for the Orient, but for the whole world, not all due to-the lack of a really comprehensive and effective League of Nations and World's Court?RAMSAY MACDONALD STEPS DOWN R.RAMSAY MMDONALD handed over the reins to Mr.Baldwin last week.He steps down to & minor position within the Government, thus helping to preserve something of the national flavor about what is otherwise largely a Conservative administration.Whatever one may think of some acts of his National Government, such as the Sedition Bill and its prosecution of \u201cradical\u201d agitators, few will attempt to deny that Mr.MacDonald was sincere when he broke party lines and formed a Coalition Ministry.Mr.MacDonald has filled a difficult position as head of a Cabinet composed of heterogeneous elements and, on the whole, he has filled it well.According to orthodox political and economic thinkers, the Natiopal Government saved the British nation from financial collapse.The emergency was very real and there is little doubt that the measures taken had the support of the great bulk of British opinion.Mr.by principle when he accepted the leadership of a Conservative-Liberal-Labor government.There has been general recognition of this fact though his apologies for many of the policies of his government-\u2014necessitated by the principle of collective responsibility\u2014 government was at first a much more genuinely non-partisan ministry than ft has been In recent years, containing as it did representatives of both wénes of Liberalism as well as members from Labor and Conservatisin.Two Free Trade Liberals, who were in the National Coalition Cabinet resigned, along with Lord Snowden, a former Labor Minister, upon the presentation of the report of the delegation to Ottawa.They could hardly do otherwise in view of the attitude of their own party press on which they more or less depended for reelection.For a year these men had represented a new and to our mind a very defensible variation of the ever his disagreement by word and vote.is necessarily of first importance in popular government.Yet many fall into a supreme habit of giving precedence to à party name and word of command ovér personal conviction that is unmanning and sets up in the community an unlovely artificial antagonism which ranges not only / Parliamentary leaders but the people\u2019s representatives generally and indeed the voters throughout the country in mutually abusive groups.Sasttts and hmpire WHILE Mr.Baldwin's adherence to tariffs was part of his political inheritance, it was a mew thing for Mr.MacDonald.But in the case of both, it was largely their outlook as Empire statesmen that made them dicker with the idea of weaning Britain from Its age-old allegiance to Free Trade.Both found the bonds of Empire wearing thin largely through trade warfare of its component parts.Britain, recognizing that freedom of trade is the life of trade, nevertheless found that with fortifications against her at every trading boundary, she was compelled to erect a few herself as a preliminary to demonstrating that tariffs avail little waen they are used by all nations.It was this conviction that impelled Ramsay MacDonald to go counter to his Instincts, traditions snd training and accept with reluctance Britain's entry into the arena of tariff warfare.Co-operation in Gevernment BRITAIN'S National Government was an experiment.Its value has been somewhat vitiated by the pro- ces of time which has made it more and more a Conservative government.not oniÿ through the preponderance of the party men in the councils, but through the influence of environment upon others of more radical tinge.It is evident that the tempo of Mr.MacDonald's passion for social reform has slowed down considerably in these past four years.His retirement closes a chapter,\u2014it closes a volume\u2014in Britlsh political history.The next Labor Government can hardly fail to be of much more radical character than either of those over which Mr.MacDonald presided.But he led Labor at a time when its political fortunes were of the blackest.He has led his country in a difficult period of reconstruction.He retires amid general respect and good will.As a private member of the Cabinet his counsel will still influence the destinies of the nation, for nothing can ever displace Mr.MacDonald from the honor of having been Britain's first Labor Prime Minister and the head of an experiment In co-operative government that may yet cause our party \u201csystem to be recognised for what it is\u2014a monstrosity and an anachron- ism\u2014only second in its evil to the nation to a dictatorship by the inter- ents or by some egolstic adventurer brought to power by the discrediting of representative government through party bickerings and obstruction.INJUSTICE CONFIRMED EJRCTION by a higher court of the appeal of the members of the sect that calls itself Jehovah's Judice that is 50 often exhibited by the lesser tribunals, would re-ansert the eternal principles of liberty that mankind has paid so dearly to establish.As we have said before, we de not believe that genuine faith has anything to fear when pitted against error.Persecution of wrong dogma is an effective way of perpetuating it.The history of Christianity from its earliest day is abundant testimony te that fact which, however, seems to seep but slowly into human conscions- ness.Persecution is the weapon of those blinded by prejudice and bigotry.FACING THE REAL ISSUE ROFESSOR JOHN LINE, of Victoria College, speaking at the Toronto Conference of the United Church and in connection with the presentation of the report of the committee on Evangelism and Social Service, challenged the church as being aharer in unholy gains, unclean mom- ey.He declared that It had allowed itself to become \u201ccompromised\u201d and was not \u201cthrowing the moral searchlight on the ways by which much of the gain has been reached.\u201d And he challenged the church to bring home to men \u201cthe perils and evils that lie in the very process of wealth accunu- ation.\u201d The report declared: \u201cThe duty of Christian men and women is to espouse the cause of the poor and to champion, against injustice, the exploited and dispos- seased.Out economic life will never be Christian until it is carried on equally for all the people, and nok by the powerful and privileged for their own gain.It is becoming clear that very speedily, if Christianity does not change the world, other forces will.\u201d These are brave words and true.And the challenge on the floor of the Conference, in the heart of Toronto, upon which the Hon.H.H.Stevens has so recently turned the limelight, can hardly be evaded any longer.How often has the Church eaten of the crumbs that fell from the rich man\u2019s table, and, fawning upon him, \u201ceaten out of his hand\u201d?How oftem have its representatives felt actually honored to be invited to the feast of a Croesus and have gone away sounding his praises for his greatness and generosity, knowing all the time that cold, calculating selfishness dictated his business methods, and that to make his wealth he was willing to impoverish the multitude.There are degrees of selfishness and also of unseifish- ness among rich men.Some, more ashamed of their disproportioned wealth, give largely and anonymously.Others give with the idea that it js à good policy thus to camoufiage their selfishness lest they excite public im- vestigation and castigation.Others, by which such wealth was gained?Is 4 2sf £ Hi the widow's mite was precious, and it VEN those who have most strongly urged retention of the right of Canadians to appeal to the Privy Council in certain cases will welcome the decision of the Judicial Committee of that body last week which gave fal endorsement of the right of Canada to bar appeals in criminal oases.Nothing could be more disruptive of Empire unity than to make the Privy Council a loophole for the eacape of predatory privilege from its just deserts.It is à different matter altogether in dealing with a constitutional case, in which Canada would he foolish to forego the advantage of ving an outside impartial tribunal Privy Council, remote from of partisanship or inber- rivalry.The case that drew important ruling on crim- law was the appeal of the British Corporation from what was in view an entirely inadequate pen- inflicted by a Quebec court for of the laws against combina- restraint of trade.The British Coal Corporation is not, as some might imagine, a concern managed and controlled from the other side r F 3 4! JH companies, the whole totalling some $30800.These are now confirmed, the Privy Council refusing to lend itself tc the tricks of the guilty concerns\u2019 astute lawyers.Had the Privy Council entertained the appeal and quashed the conviction, what kind of strain would it have imposed upon the British loyalty of thowsands of Canadian householders, muicted and exploited by a selfish and soulless by society upon its wrongdoers.business it will lose many of its\u2019 WITNESS and Canadian Homestead, JUNE 13, 1935 to hold the public up fer à increase in the price of coal, also, in certain clasgifications a degraded quality that way they must themselves several 2 question may be asked: duction?Had the Crown Prosecutor given them a warning?Did the politicians and the Senator realise the mounting storm of righteous anger that they would have to face if a change was not made?It is a pity that some way cannot be thought out by which the companies could be compelled to refund their overcharges charges to users of public slot telephones.It would surely be easier to find the customers of coal companies than easual users of public telephones.And refunds which could not be thus made might be ordered payable to CANADA AND EMPIRE TRADE I IS more than evident that the hard bargaining which gave Canada such substantial advantages in return for comparatively small concessions at the Ottawa Conference may yet prove to be a boomerang.Under these circumstances chuckles and jubilation over the success of Mr.Bennett's high pressure salesmanship on that notable occasion may prove to be premature.That Canada, like the Dutch rhyme, gave too little and asked too much in effect is agreed by its defenders in this country and rue- fuily admitied by affected interests in Britain.The Montreal Star, in complaining of the United States for putting into effect against Canada, a process of restricting imports that we have applied with but little amelioration to Britain, points with pride to the fact that Canada's \u201cfavorable\u201d balance of trade with Empire countries comes to $185,000000 for last year.The moral the Star draws from - those figures is that Mr.Bennett did very well for his country at the Conference.No doubt those whose manufactured goods are thus saved from the trouble of facing up to British standards of values and prices, also think that Mr.Bennett did well.The result is that Canada secured unprecedented trading interests in the British market at a cost of fractional reductions in the absurd protection that our unprofitable industries had enjoyed.It was a short-sighted victory The volume of protest from British inter- mises to be the ehlef sufferer.Renewal or termination of the Ottawa agreements will be an important task of the new British Government.Un- Jess a more accommodating spirit is evident in official Canada, the agreements will be revised in a maser far from palatable to owr interests Changing the Tune ME ROBERT WEIR, Minister of Agriculture, is now taking a tack that is increasingly favored by Government spokesmen.He joins in way of securing their reduction.Recent reports of world international trade, as issued by a League of Nations Committee, showing that 1t fell to record low levels last year hardly bear out that contention.Nor is it any more true to FERRE ge gx § y SE gk Eg asserted, for the reduction of Canadian tariffs in return for the imposition of tariffs by Britain.for the benefit of the Dominions.Mr.Bennett's plan, so far as Canada was concerned, was to favor Britain by adding still further to our duties on Be made no offer the United States, not only a perilous mutual aid.Dus largely to the in.alstenos of lobbyists on behalf of our selfish protected secondary interests, this opportunity of promoting a great all-embracing scheme of freer and more profitable cominercial intercouse was degraded into a sordid horse-trading acramble.Canada joined with the delegates from the Antipodes in demanding the surrender of Britain's trade freedom to their and our interests; a singularly sordid and seifish stand, the connotations and implications of which most ot us in this country could not see at all.We could oniy see that so contrary were the commitments to the inter- eats represented, that it would take à miracle to bring about an accord.There was ground for hope in the unquestionable fact that the parties entered the conference with their hearts set upon results and with to all appearances sufficient mutual under- The answer is that ne party pretended to be satisfied, none having down to confer, and with which we believe Mr.Bennett, less hampered by the interests, would have been in large interpret the agreements in a more generous spirit than has been the rule in the present Ministry of National Revenue.Failure to do s0, may result in disclosing to us that we have raised a Frankenstein of tariffs that will eventually destroy ws.We are reviewing the subject in some detail lest the electiomeering tooters for the privilaged interests take advantage of the short memories of many of the electors.BYNG OF VIMY BYNG OF VIMY, whe passed away last Thursday, was \u2019 one of the few remaining leaders of the World War.With the exception of Sir Arthur Currie, he had been the best known to Canadians.Julian Byng came of an old and distinguished English family.He was a soldier from his youth, seeing fighting in the Soudan and in South Afriea, and occupy- si i i g H i ie f a 2 2 5 a Ë i F Ë = Ê \u201cNo matter what I do, 1 wrong.\u201d He chose what he considered the path of duty.The \u201cconsii- tutional\u201d episode of 1936 was the most discreditable incident in Mr.Macken- which was holding on only by virtue of Progressive support.Mr.sought to avert this by dissolving House.Lord Byng, in view of fact that an election had been in the previous year, and that Mr.King was seeking to thwart the House, refused his consent until the leader of the Opposition, Mr.Meighen, had had an opportunity of trying to form opinion that he could form a government.Lord Byng could have avoided the difficulty by acting on Mr.King's suggestion that he should consult the Home Government.That would have only shifted the responsibility to other shoulders, a course that did mot accord with Byng's instincts.It would also have given color to the canard industriously propagated by Liberal orators in the subsequent election that Lord Byng had sought to place Canada under the dominance of the Government in Loridon.As the event proved, Mr.King was right in thinking that the Conservatives could not maintain a government that had the confidence of the House.It was eminently unfair that the King's representative who declined to drag Whitehall into Canadian politics should have been accused by politicians of seeking to introduce \u201cDowning Street - government.\u201d Mr.King did not join the pack in this cry, but he most regrettably kept silence on the fact that it was really he himself who had urged consultation with Downing Street and Lord Byng who had been the real upbolder of Canadian autonomy in refusing to submit to the judgment of the British Cabinet.Lord Byng left Canada as he said, \u201ca tired old man\u201d, but he was soon recalled to active service.Trouble had cropped up In London\u2019s great police force.Byng was asked to accept the post of Chie!

a news- WITNESS sad Consétan Hemestend, FUME 12, 190.paper is, or ought to be, different trom other businesses.Surely the providing of news and opinions has à bearing on community and national life altogether different from the purveying of chewing gum or tobacco.Mr.Buchanan's plea that the bill was use- Joss in that the information could be obtained anywhere in Canada, was answered effectively.but unintentionally by Senator Casgrain, another opponent of the bill.Mr.Casgrain sald that he was president of the professedly Liberal Montreal Herald for eight years.\u201cDuring that time I never found out who owned it, the Montreal Star (Conservative) or any other interest, and 1 do not know yet,\u201d he emphasised.The most apt comment on this notable lack of curiosity concerning a matter that is known to all Montreal was that of the \u2018Toronto Gtar, which says, \u201cWe have heard often of ghost writers, but ghost proprietors are not s0 common.\u201d Amid à host of other objections Mr.Melghen took pride of piace with a picture of a Canada isolated intellectually from the rest of the world by a bill that would keep out foreign newspapers.That objection comes oddly from a member of the Government which put à tax on publications from the United States.Mr.Meighen apparently does not know that United States journals have \u2018um been subject to a law requiring publication of the details of ownership, which has been in many respects a.model for the bill of Mr.Church which is now before the Upper House.The bill would not exclude journals from other countries.The objection that vicious sheets which do not go through the malls would not be dealt with by this bill is in another category.In that case, why not amend the bill to bring the vicious sheets within its scope?Or if that is impracticable, deal with them separately.But do not let that question stand in the way of giving the public information to which it has a right.WANTED: A.LIQUOR STORE T the Social Service Council in Windsor, N8., Crown Prosecutor W.C.Dunlop startled the meeting.\u201cIt almost seems to me that we would be better off if we had à liquor store,\u201d he said, \u201cGovernment liquor is being sold here in town continually at ad- vanoed prices and the places from which it is sold are no credit to the town.A great portion of the bootlegging is being done by young boys.I don\u2019t believe that the Social Service Council or the people themselves are interested in having the laws enforced.\u201d He asked just what the council really was doing and said that he knew nothing of its active work along the lines of liquor control.° .is one of the few towns in Nova Scotia which has not adopted the government liquor store.Mr.Dunlop's suggestion that they should have one\u2014of course in the interest of temperance and for the prevention of bootlegging is the favorite argument of a certain type of reformer.Experience again and again has shown its lack of value.With the extension of the legal sale of liquor there is always an extension of illegal sale.The Province of Quebec which Introduced the fashion of \u201cGovernment control\u201d into Canada and -set the example for the United Btates, is a chronic sufferer from the bootlegging trade, with its huge illicit stills and widespread ramifications.We know nothing specifically regarding the work of the Social Service Council in Windsor, but from what we know of such bodies elsewhere, we suppose they are public-spirited citi- sens who are doing the best they can for thelr town In the face of lawbreaking hostility, public apathy and sometimes of official ili-will.No doubt they have drswn the attention of the authorities to the Infringement of the Act.It is primarily the Crown Prosecutor\u2019s job to enforce the lew.PIONEER PAPERS National Government By Dr.D.OR the time being Great Britain has a National Government, and there can be little question in regard to the good that has come to the country through it.Difficuities have been surmounted, and crises have been peacefully passed through that otherwise might have stirred up much partisan strife and thwarted the alow but steady recovery of na- tonal prosperity that is the Mother Land's happy lot.Moreover, in the midst of it all, there has been a change of Prime Minister, a reshuffling of Cabinet offices and an introduction of new blood to give freshness and driving force to the Government policy.With an abun- danoe of able men ready to give themselves to the service of their country, Great Britain gives a worthy example of a democracy working steadily and sucoessfully by the representative principle.Is there any other principle on which it can successfully work?A democracy must choose its leaders and trust them, or perish.Otherwise, it is mob rule and a mere scramble of self-seeking men for place and power; and that cannot endure on the earth.It always issues in military dictatorship.Mr.Ramsay MacDonald has iaid down the office of Prime Minister.He deserves well of his country.In every way he is a remarkable man.When he was quite young and struggling to shape a young Labor Party Into disciplined power, Viscount Morley declared that he was a man of \u201cCabinet timber.\u201d He has abundantly fulfilled that forecast.He is a strange combination of gifts\u2014a practical mystie, abundantly dowered with moral courage.Broken In health by the heavy strain of the Premier's office, he is still ready to serve at the Council- table in comradeship with Mr.Baldwin.Together these two men have given a memorable example of the highest patriotism, each esteeming the other for the good that he can render to his country.For the one his countrymen can only wish speedy restoration to health, and for the other a success In his high office that a seifiess patriotism deserves.Mr.Baldwin may lean, he doubtless will be compelled to lean by the party behind him, more to Tory policies and methods, but a General Election that must take place soon, will determine what the pace of progress is to be.Meanwhile other nations cannot but admire the steady sense of a nation that knows how to govern Itself.» - IN France there is again the danger of what Tennyson called \u201cthe wild hysterics of the Celt.\u201d Governments rise and fall from month to month and even from week to week.There is a constant scramble of small parties for power, and the danger of one more dictatorship in Europe.Plainly things cannot go on much longer as they are.The issue in the present crisis is a question of money\u2014the purchasing power of the franc and what is to be done with it.That, indeed, is an acute question In most countries today; but that at any time, and especially because of recent experiences, may bring about revolution in France.It is a land of peasant proprietors and in the cities of a high-spirited and somewhat impoverished proletariat that is sensitive to the changing value of money.Fear of heavy loss has issued Ina rushon the banks for gold and in a repeated refusal of the deputies to vote strong powers to the Cabinet to cope with the situation.Something must be done, but what is most needed is a strong national government to give to gallant France a the plundering rogues in iniquitous confederacies are bent on making fortunes at cost, could be firmly dealt with a measure of stability restored.L.Ritchie Bome political changes may also be necessary.Deputies in shifting cliques may have to be taught that votes given in a spirit of mere partisanship may mean not only a change of government, but an election and the possible loss of their seats.The best form of government has its limitations, but France is showing in a startling way how a Parliament elected for a fixed term of years without the possibility of dissolution, can be abused for personal and partisan ends.No country can prosper without some type of stable government with a policy steadily pursued.* » .IN the United States also, political changes must take place so that a government may be free to make changes that are necessary for prosperity in new conditions.The frogen hand of a written constitution cannot always guide a country.\u201cTime makes ancient rules uncouth.\u201d The recent decision of the High Court of the United States has produced chaos again where some progress had been made 10 a better economic and soclal order.\u201cGathered wealth, so much of it by ways of which highwaymen of oid would have been ashamed, stubbornly refuses to be better distributed in a peaceful way.It had betterlearn wisdom before it is too late, for it is trying to entrench itself on the top of a voleano.It is a dangerous experiment even for amassed wealth to make! * .BUT what of Canada?There are many voices clamoring for a National Government, and there is even a party afoot that proclaims such as its aim.But somehow its purpose is suspected.By many it is regarded as a wolf wandering about as a bleating lamb.Some say its real aim is Fascist, not National.It is the \u201cmoney power\u201d in our midst cunningly seeking a new refuge from Mr.Stevens\u2019, or even from Mr.Bennett's policy, how much more from that of a Liberal regime.It is the old trick of confusing the real issues.At any rate, organised Fascism has declared itself on îts side, and that should sound its doom.Events are, however, proving that some drastic steps have to be taken.the BNA, the Senate, the Railways, the Unemployment Problem and shackled Trade have all to be dealt with.Provincial in relation to Federal rights and powers have to be examined and, it may be, recast.Soctal problems of Health, Housing, Medical Bervice, and Old Age Pensions have to be boldly handled.Some security for people's savings against polished rogues has to be devised.Credit and currency have to be placed on better foundations.Can any party government effectually handle these?We have seen the present Government trifling with reform.It simply has no heart for Mr.Bennett's new policy.Mr.Guthrie introducing Bills in whose constitutionality he does not believe is mere election manoeuvring at great cost of the nation\u2019s time and money.It is all a mockery of the people's hopes, and an election will show how strengly it is resented.But can we have a National Government?What of this as a skeleton?Assuming that Mr.Bennett must rest, Mr.Mackenzie King, Prime Minister; Mr.Meighen, Attorney General; Mr.Garland, Finance Minister; Mr.Vincent Massey, State Secretary; Sir E.Beatty, divorced from his interests tn a privately owned GPR, as Minister of Railways; Mr.Stevens for Trade and Commerce; Mr.Woodsworth for Labor; Mr.Wesley Gordon for Land Settlement and Immigration; Mr.Ralston, Postmaster General; Mr.Weir for Agriculture, with Mr.Lapointe as Speaker, The other offices could readily be filled.Is not Cane adian patriotism equal to such a task?

industry to protect the unorganized consumer.\u201d P Your esteemed contemporary, \u201cThe Ottawa Citizen,\u201d a supporter of the scheme called, \u201cSocial Credit.\u201d recently published a letter from a correspondent Who complained that the 25 years advocacy of a scheme of unemployment insurance, of in other words, the \u201cdole,\u201d or of credit depreciation of the dollar, by

exploiters of the people with out evasively side-railing such control upon municipalities or provinces, and that which is immediately necessary\u2014work for the willing and able unemployed.Moreover, Mr.Stevens emphasizes the fundamental truth, that the remedy for unemployment is mainly administrative rather than almsgiving that degrades the recipient, burdens the country with excessive taxation, and shackles business development.The great Liberal leader, Edward Blake, said: \u201cThe future of Canada depends very largely upon the cultivation of a national spirit\u201d Has the Canadian Press enough of that national spirit to help the country, or is it, ostrich-like, buried in advertisement contracts?Ottawa.Malcolm Cameron.The Week in Parliament Tuesday, June 4\u2014The international convention to preserve the whaling industry was approved after brief commendations by the Prime Minister and by the Leader of the Opposition, Rt.Hon.W.L.Mackenzie King.Hon.Dr.R.J.Manion, Minister of.Railways and Canals, og a question of privilege, made a brief statement showing that nearly 55 per cent of the men employed on the Lachine and Welland Canals were returned men.Out of a total of 439 employed on the Lachine Canal, 184, or 42 per cent, were returned men; out of 510 employed on the Welland Canal 330, or 65 per cent were returned men: and out of the aggregate of 948 men employed on the two canals, 514, or 54 per cent, had seen oversens service.He concluded by expressing the hope that \u201cthe rest of the (Hyndman Commission) report is more dependable than this particular statement.\u201d Although that is all the record shows this last comment on the work of the special commission dealing with mesns of employment for ex-servicemen did not please the Prime Minister who leaned over and spoke a private word to his colleague.suggesting that the whole thing was rater improper for a cabinet member.This personal interchange not be- int offi~ial was the subject of various rumors later.New Patent Act Carried Mr.Stevens had sought in an amend- mnt to restore part of the old section 40 to the new Patent Act.Hon.C.HL Ca- han, Secretary of State argued that to restrre that would be to violate the convention, and that restoration of section 40 would confer price-fixing powers on the Commissioner of Patents, which would not only be a violation of the Hague convention, but would also be beyond the legislative competence of this Parliament.The British law was being largely copied in the present bill and it provided for compulsory licences, and for _ revocation of the patent when such dras- ti- sction was warranted.Mr.Stevens contended that his proposed change did not involve price-fix- ing.but simply gave the commissioner power to impose a penaky.\u201cMH the section he wanted to restore was a violation of the international convention then that pact had been violated for the past seven years, for section 40 had always been in the law now being amended and consolidated.\u201cAll 1 suggest,\u201d concluded Mr.Ste- wens, \u201cis that this amendment would be a simple and reasonable way of meeting what many people consider a very serious grievance.1f on the other hand the Government feel that it is a gross violation of some sacred international undertaking, far be X from me to cause any international complications because of it.I am content to wait and allow the act to go through and be put into on, and I am satisfied that when this House reassembles there will be an opportunity of dealing with this matter.1 am confident that in the interim, the fairness of my proposals and the extent of the injustice which the people are suffering will be brought more vividly to the attention of the House.\u201d Premier Bennett stated emphatically that the amended and consolidated bill provide amply for remedying all the grievances of the former Minister, insisted that the new law provided a complete code to deal with a recalcitrant or selfish patentee, and that throughout the measure followed the fair and effective in the United How Leng May à Member Sperk?used the estimates of the Agriculture in Supply of tie Natural Produots to clarify the matter

with the Budget changes, Hon.E.N.Rhodes, Minister of Finance, said in connection an item which dealt with zipper fasteners on which the duties are to be 30 per cent, British preference, 37% per cent intermediate, and 40 per cent general, that it by no means followed the duty was paid by the importer.There were cases where the importer paid no duty, and in other cases be paid part of it This tariff change, said the Minister, was based on a finding of the Tariff Board after inquiry and report.\u201cWe must assume,\u201d he concluded, \u201cthat the Tariff Board 4s properly performing its

and the cost to the people of the country through the increased cus- torcs \u201d * ~ \u201c> Col.Ralston argued that when the duty was 20 per cent, people of Canada had paid practically the full wage bill of that industry in increased prices.In another tariff item it was proposed to admit the higher-priced British biscuits free, S.W.Jacobs (Liberal, Cartier) read a letter from the Canada Biscuit Company protesting against the proposal and declaring it would cause \u201cuntold damage to every high-priced biscuit manu\u2018acturer in Canada\u201d The Minister of Finance replied the change was based on a finding of the proposed tariff Board, and he doubted if the disaster to result from it would be an actuality.Many other members admitted they bad received protests against the proposed change, but the item carried.Section 3 of the bill provides that the Governor-in Council may by order- in-council make such reductions of duties on goods imported into Canada from .any other \u2018country or countries as may be deemed reasonable, by way of compensation for co granted by any such country or countries.Col.Ralston wanted to Know: \u201cIf this section is invoked for the purpose of reducing duties, is it the intention of the Government to bring to Parlisment the trade agreement which embodies those reductions in the tariff for ratification?\u201d Mr.Rhodes: \u201cIf it is a full treaty it comes to Parliament as a matter of course, but I believe the practice in the past has been not to bring to Parliament those matters which are dealt with by order-in-council under Section 11.\u201d Col.Ralston: \u201cI submit it is constitutional practice to bring to Parliament anything which affects statutery provisions.T understand there is a blunket constitutional provision here which permits the reduction of duties, but at the same time T have always understood that trade agreements were brought to Par- Yoon as a matter of constitutional re- Mr.Phrdes: \u201cYes, or treaties\u201d Col.Raleton: \u201cRatification was asked for as a m-\u2018ter of constitutional pmctice, sithonoh neasibly not as a matter of strict legal necessity.\u201d Mr.Rhodes: \u201cConcestions have been made by order-in-courril which were not brourh* to Parlisment for the purpose of ratification, aithouëh Parliament Is ent't'ed to the information.The ec- tion taken by order-in-council by virtue of thie «ation is overative, but it is always subject to the overriding action of Partiement\u201d Col.Ralston: \u201cI understand that trade agresmenty and trade treaties are b-ought to Parliament for ratification as co-ed wf peupse, notwithstanding the fact that the Governor-in-Couneil might have the power under some blanket authority, such as section 11, to conclude an arrangement for the reduction of duties.I want to know if that practice will be followed.\" Mr.Rhodes: \u201cThat Is the practice which has obtained, and that is the practice which will be followed.\u201d Col.Ralston thought that the word \u201ctariff\u201d should be inserted before the word \u201cconcession\u201d in the section, urging that \u201cwe keep tariff matters within the tariff ambit rather than permit ourselves to visualize the possibility of some bargain, the consideration on one side of which has nothing whatever to do with tarift.\u201d Mr.Rhodes did not object to this suggestion.The bill was passed through committee and given third reading as was the Income Tax amendment bill Radio Thursday, June 8.\u2014The vote of $1.500,- 000 for the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission was before Committee of Supply.Hon.Ernest Lapointe, former Minister of Justice, remarked that the other day the Minister of Marine, Hon Alfred Duranlesu, had admitied certain employees of the Commission had not been paid since the month of \u2018March because they had been employed without the necessary authorization of the Treasury Board, snd that this condition had to be adjusted before they could be paid.\u201cHow did it happen,\u201d Mr.Lapointe asked, \u201cthal these people were given employment without the approval of the Treasury Board?\u201d Mr.Duranleau: \"Certain people were employed in the program department of \u2018the Commission, and I understand the Auditor-General ruled that these people were not properly in that department, and that their employment should have been authorized by the Treasury Boérd.There was a difference of opinion in this connection, and the Depart.session.> Premier R.B.Bennett replied: \u201cWhen the bill is introduced to extend the life of the Commission to the end of the present fiscal year, I desire to make some observations touching upon the whole radio situation in this Dominion.The real truth is that the effort to destroy this publicly-owned utility is very well known and is very active, and whether or not that utility can be saved will depend upon the attitude of the House of Commons towards it, and perfection.\u201cWe in this country are in an exceedingly dificult position.We have 10,500, 000 le and we have to rent several thousands of miles of wire in order to broadcast on an efficient scale.That is very expensive, having regard to the existing rates for leasing wires both from railways and telephone companies.Then always insidiously is the attack made against the publicly-own: facility and the effort made to destroy it\u201d He was strongly opposed to yielding this facility to any private enterprise.\u201cI am convinced that, at the present time, only ene of two things can be done.Whoever is on the (treasury benches will have*to ask Parliament for a grant of money to enable these facilities to be provided, if they think the conditions in the country will stand it, or to utilize the revenues to the extent that may be possible, gradually to build the necessary stations That is, one in the East, one in the West and one somewhere else in order that there may.be a complete coverage.| do not know how the committee feel about the matter, but the more 1 see of it the more determined 1 am that I should not yield this facility te any private enterprise.\u201d Hon.W.D.Euler, former Minister of Mational Revenue, wanted to know if all the money collected for licences was used for Commission purposes.Hon.Mr.Dursnlesu said about $1,500,000 was collected last year and it was this they were being asked to vole.K J.Garland (UF.A, Bow River) had a suggestion to make regarding funds \u201cMay I ask tbe minister whether he that before the radio commis.set up, there had been on the part of radio listeners an overpayment in relation to services of a surg that, 1 am is in the neighborhood of $1,100,000.It is true that that was placed in consolidated revenue account, but in my opinion\u2014and 1 feel sure, other members of the committee will agree with me\u2014that money should have been appropriated and placed at the disposal of the commission when it was set up.In that case the commission would certainly have had more ample funds to operate with than it has had in the past\u201d Te Eliminate Interference A W.Neill dnd, Comox-Alberni) wanted something done to give govern ment agents power to deal with radio interference, The very able men who located sources of troubles were \u201cutterly powerless to do anything to have that source of trouble eliminated.He can go and advise people and plead with them, but that is all.\u201cOften the trouble can be so easily eliminated,\u201d Mr.Neill remarked.\u201cI tied up the whole radio service of the little town where I live one day by starting a small electric fan in my office, and for political reasons I did not wish to be so highly unpopular.It only cost me ebout % to provide the necessary remedy.There are people who are totally indifferent to the convenience of anyone but themselves, and who will run little electrical machines, which could easily be fixed to avoid any trouble, but, regardless of the inconvenience they are causing, they refuse to do so.In the case of a power plant and the like the cost might rua (Continued on page 11) rer WITNESS AND CANADIAN

maximum action.Every section of the city\u2019s life was reached through luncheons, teas, dinners, two large public meetings and in addition most of the members of the team sent their messages over a

experienced needlewoman was giving me some hints a while ago and in the course of conversation said something about \u2018\u2018tailored buttonholes for the boy's clothes made over from their father's.\u201d It didn't occur to me until too late to ask for a detmiled explana tion so I am calling on you \u2014M.A 8, N.8& To make tallored buttonholes mark the piaces for the buttonholes with a diagonal basting stitch trom the top of the coat on the left side to the bottom.Men's and boys\u2019 clothes always button from left over right.Home tailors sometimes disregard that fact, much to the disgust of those who wear the made-over garment.A diagonal basting stitch should be made on the wrong side with a stitch taken through to the right slide of exactly the length of the finished buttonhole; have the needle point to the left and at exact right angles to the edge of the coat.Stitch round the horizontal stiich on the right ride in the form of a narrow ellipse, with the machine so set that there will be sixteen or more stitches to the inch.The finer the stitch the more firmly will the material be held.With a stiletto puach a Mole for the outside end of the buttonhole.and with sharp scissofs cut a sit exactly on a thread of the cloth, and exactly the length of the basting thread, keeping inside the machine stitching.Next overcast the edge of the buttonhole.A tailored buttonhole differs in two respects from a blanket- stitch buttonhole.The shape is different, and the stitch has a purl on the jaside, or cut, edge of the buttonhole.To make the stitch with the purt twist, not doubled.Take a few stitches -along the edge of the cut toward the lower right-hand end, holding the garment so that the hole made by the stiletto is at the left-hand side.Insert the needle through the cut and up to the right side at the extreme right-hand end, and ons-sixteerth of an inch to one-sighth of an Inch below the edge of the cut.With the right hand pull under the point of the needie, toward the left, the twist that comes from the eye of the needle and pull the needle through straight.That makes a stitch at right angles te (be out edge, with a purl exactly oa the edge Continue the stitches from right to left aH round the cut and make a bar at the inside end.Problems of Homemakers | To Clean Suede Dear Madam :\u2014Please teil me how to o'ean suede?I Mke the material for shoes but find it hard to keep them looking their nicest.\u2014Miss Jane.* This ja the time of year for light suede shoes.But how quickly that dainty grey footwear gets soiled and stained.Do not send it to the cleaner; deal with it at home this way.If very slightly soiled, dry cleaning with a \u2018cloth bail will restore freshness to the shoes.But when they are really dirty you wil get far better results by using your cleanser wet.Scrape off enough from the cloth ball to mix with a little water into a stiff paste; take care not to get the mixture too liquid.With an old nailbrush apply this ell over the shoes, put them on trees or stuff well with tiesue paper, and leave till the next day.Then take them out of doors and brush off all the dried cleanser with a wire brush.The dirt will come out at the same time.To clean suede gloves, if colored, put them on the hands and rub well with fullers earth, which is best appifed with a small nailbrush.White suede gloves should be cleaned in the same manner with dry pipe- olay.Preventing Down Coming Through Pillow Dear Madam :\u2014Do You know of any way to keep the down from filtering out of plHows?\u2014Exasperated.To nrevent down coming through the covering of your down pillow take a piece of unbleached muslin and make a cover to MM your pillow: coat the former with wax.Rab your ironing

Beusestond, JUNE 13, 1508.FOR YOUNG PEOPLE To the Farthest South By Rear-Admiral B.R.G.R.Evans.(Continued from Last Week.) AFTER three days we found ourseives right on the top of the Shackleton Ice Falls and gased down upon the irregular Beardmore Glacier, hundreds of feet below us.There were two ways in which we dd reach the glacier: We could either march right round the Ice Falls as we had done coming south, which would waste three whole days, or we could take our lives in our hands and attempt to get the sledge slap over the falls.We decided to take this risk and, with rather a sinking feeling in our hearts, the descent of the great Ice Falls was begun.We packed our skis on the sledge, attached spike rampants to our fur boots, and guided the sledge through a maze of hummocks and crevasses.We practically tobogganed down fifteen hundred feet, and narrowly escaped the crevasses, which frequently crossed our path.The speed of the sledge at one point must have been sixty miles an hour when we glissaded down a steep blue ice slope.I do not know how we escaped, as we did, entirely uninjured, but we reached the foot of the Ice Falls in à very short time and found that, by taking this hazard, we had saved nearly three days\u2019 marching and that much surplus food.We had wonderful weather and sunshine for the next few days, and were in high glee at our progress; and on the evening of January 18 we camped amongst rough ice and pressure ridges, expecting to reach the mid-glacier depot under the Cloudmaker Mountain next day.However, this was not to be, for a low, stratous cloud spread during the night like a tablecloth ovar the Beardmore and filled up Its valley with mist.It was impossible to pick a good way down, and we got into awful trouble, and took two days to get clear.In some places we literally carried our sledge, which weighed nearly 400 pounds; in others we had to move gingerly across ice bridges flanked by inky blue chasms on both sides.On January 17 and 13 we made eighteen-hour marches, hauling and humping our aledge over terribly rough ice, and when we reached the mid- glacier depot we were almost too exhausted to speak.The march down the lower part of the glacier brought no very exciting incident, beyond severe attacks of snow blindness,\u2018 and we made very good progress.BUT shortly after reaching the great ice barrier I was found to be suffering from scurvy.Day after day my condition became worse, until one day I fainted, and then I ordered my two companions to leave me in my sieep- ing-bag, with what food they could «pare, and to push on to safety.We could see the summit of the great snow-capped volcano, Mount Erebus, t0 the northward, so I knew that expedition.The two men refused to leave me; they put me in my sieeping- bag, strapped me on the sledge, and then for several days they dragged me northward untill we reached the camp.where the motor sledges had been abandoned.We spent the night here in ly little tent, but a new fall entirely spoilt the surface, an camp was struck next day the were quite unable to move Their strength was spent after march- that thirty-five mile trudge across a badly crevassed area to Hut Point.It was a splendid effort on his part.He did the distance in eighteen hours, and collapsed on the floor of the little hut in the arms of Dr.Atkinson and Dimitri, our dog driver, who were there with the two dog teams, replenishing the hut with supplies from Cape Evans.+ Here again our astounding good fortune favored us.When Creen had recovered somewhat he indicated our whereabouts; the dog teams were galloped out and our lives were saved.The King awarded the Albert Medal to both Creen and Lashly for their gallantry in helping me to win through.It must be remembered that ft was equaily brave of Lashly to stay with me and nurse me until the end came, for without food and with only à little tes he could never have marched in later.sledge journeys in the Antarctic fraught with danger and hazard; a long blixsard eats into the meagre food supply and siek- ness or accident to a companion means delay, which in turn may mean disaster and death.Now turn your thoughts to Captain Scott and his four companions, whom we left marching southwards 144 miles from the Pole.Soon after we said good-bye, Scott came across the tracks of the Norwegian expedition.There were sledge tracks, ski treaks and dog tracks, many of them, and his party followed them to the Polar area.It was a great disappointment to find that Ronald Amundsen, the valiant Norseman, had forestalled them.Scott and his companions reached the South Fole on January 17, 1012, on a bleak and horrible day, with a hard wind blowing and the thermometer many degrees below zero.They found Amundsen's tent there with the Norwegian flag fluttering above It, and in the tent a note telling them that Amundsen had reached the Pole just a month before.Two days later Scott began his re- tum journey, with a distance of over nine hundred miles to cover.They made quite good\u2019 marches to begin with, and went back at a fine pace over the ice-capped plateau; but the biting cold and hard winds caused them a good deal of frost-bite, and Petty Officer Evans, who up till then had been considered the strongest man In the party, began to show signs of failing.- The little company got into very had done and used up valuable time in marching round them, they fell about deal and poor Evans struck his blue ice and sus- 1% Ë 8 g ES 2 if : fine perseverance, although CAPTAIN OATES, the only soldier in our expedition, was the next to go under.His feet and hands were dread- tally froatbitten, and he constantly appealed to his companions for advice, They could only answer, \u201cSlog on, just slog on\".But Oates realised that the only hope of salvation for the party lay in his self-sacrifice, and on March 17, which was his birthday, be deliberately walked out to his death during a blizzard in a noble endeavor to save his three companions.Captain Scott wrote in his diary: \u201cIt was the sot of a brave man and an English gentleman.We all hope to meet the end with a similar spirit, and the end is not far\u201d.Scott fought on with Wilson and Bowers for another four days, without covering .vwenty miles in this time, and then they were forced tq camp by a blis- sard, which lasted, we know, for nine days.Their last camp was only eleven miles from the big depot at One Ton Camp, where there was food for six weeks.Eight months later their little tent was found, snowed under by the winter's bliimsards.| Puzzle Corner Word Diamend Five hundred;
