_ KING'S‘ VOLTE FACE llackensie King's astonishing volte flee on the Empire trade question is still the big subject of talk at Ot- tawa. Until his speech last ‘Thurs- day, which was his first public ap- pearance since his return from Eur- ope, Mr. King has been blunt in his statements of his intention to repeal

‘tne Imperial treaties as soon as he was returned to office. "His ‘

of front to-day", says the Ottawa‘

uns pendent of the Mail and Brn- pirc, "is commonly regarded as due to his failure to find overseas -the evidence of the unpopularity of the agreements which he went abroad to seek.

"Ever since his return his compar-l

ative silence on the subject of thei‘

treaties hm been regarded as signif- icant in political circles. While it is true that he devoted a single sen- tence to them in an interview with newspaperrnen after his arrival, characterising them as "satisfactory to nobody," it has been conspicuous that until today he made no further reference to them, while in the meantime, the British House of Commons has voted overwhelmingly in their endorsement.

"In his statement of to-day, the Liberal chieftain is regarded as ac- cepting the inevitable, and as pre- paring to steer the coming general election campaign away from the is- sue "upon which the Conservatives and Premier Bennett wish to fight it. Among Liberal followers to- night keen debates are waging on the wisdom of their leader's course. Having ta-ken so uncompromising a stand again the agreements at ev- cry stage, first of all declaring them impossible to negotiate, then oppos- ing them strenuously in the House, and finally declaring flatly for their repeal at the first Opportunity, many Liberals feel that the party should now stand by its gu-ns. Others agree with Mr. King that the temper of the Canadian people is overwhelm-

THE AIRSERVICE

_ Under the heading "Canadian Al!- ways activities in 1W4: s. l0 Months Survey" Mr. W; B. Burchall, in the current iuus of Canadian Aviation. gives an interesting account of the company's operations in the Mari- time Division which includes the ser- vices Moncton - Summerside .- Char- lottetown, andcharlottetown-Mag- dalen Islands. lie writes:

"The service Mancini-Charlotte- town provides greatest facilities dur- ing the winter season when only one train ferry is in operation daily in the Northumberland Strait. From the first of October, i933, to May N. 1934, a period which covers the win- ter activities on this run, 396 trips were made. 0n these there were carried — passengers, 46!; express. 246 pounds; mail. 123,551 pounds.

In Br" ' radio broadcast‘ _ is a state monopoly. This seems to have elevated radio singers to 'a pinnacle where they cannot be crit- icised. Listening to a radio tenor during a broadcast of Bach's “Pas- sion" music. a British critic kept tally of the susplrations, aspirations and vocal breath-in-takings which punctuated the singer's perform- ance. Particularly attention was called to the pronunciation of the word, Pilste's wife, which emerged from the radio as "Pihhigh-ltekv. wighhighf." The singer was so in- censed by the criticism that he sued for libel, protesting that the intrusive "h" had been carefully cultivated to lend “color” to his singing and had been perfected only after years of study and prac- tice. And the stern British court awarded the plaintiff damages.- Brandon Sun.

Sir Oswald Mosley stirs and no doubt amuses an Einglish court by boasting that his Black Shirts will fight their battles with ‘bare fists, “but they could lay their hands on machine guns if necessary to oom- bat any communist putsch in Erlgland." Sir Oswald with his ver- N1 Dywtechnlcs and. with his machine guns shooting down imag- inary putsches is as out of tune as the putsches themselves. If com- munists or any other lsts ever succeed ’ in a pulsch the first thing they would lose would be the permission to talk about it.

In liierury-‘isrstructlon for the young. it should be borne in mind that the object is not to train critics. but to enlarge and enrich the mind, and to stimulate further reading. It is the food that is irn- portant, not the label on the pack- age. No doubt many teachers have this object steadily in view, but there is‘ no harm in calling atten- tion to the danger of being led inufrnctnods or instruction that are likely to foster a distaste rather than a love for literature. Literat- ure is valuable for its interpreta- tion of life and its part in develop- ing a philosophy or‘ life. This is the test that should be applied not only to classics that have stood the fast of time. but to new books. Do they confirm or modify your own opinions, or enlarge your range of thought? Those matters are much more important than the extent to which the new book is. talked about-London Advertiser.

Dr. Riddle observedthafbanliag- ing the abdomen with a 8-inch elas- tic bandage, in a. similar way to bandaglng the leg, gives great relief in cases of peptic ulcer. Ho" explains this relief on the basis that he stag- nant blood is pumped out of the stomach and first part of small io- testine back through the hrs: into the circulation again. This bandage enables the potion to go about as the stomach and in- testine is supported and there isno drag downward as so often happens in these thin patients whohave- no supporting fat in the abdomen.
