EMBARGO ON ARMS

In the British Parliament, that no

‘ further permits for shipments of ltrms or munitions to Japan or- China will be issued by the British Government, has been hailed in the press ‘with great approval. Japan has. in the most public manner, been found guilty of aggression, and has left the League of Nations to carry on a war which ha: been fipefiiflcfllly declared to he unjust by the League in full Assembly, Plainiy, further action by the Lea- vgue, or by its member nations, was

“There is no question,“ continues the Globe, "about the market or the p3_\'m?l‘.t. ‘The Government is no: called upOrl :0 guarantee bonds

‘This, manifestly," concludes’ our foremost Liberal contemporary, "ts where the attention o! erqaorters and the Government should be dir- ected. Britain wants Canadian cattle, and is prepared to take more than can be forwarded at present. It is a dependable "and growing market. It is where the future '0! the Canadian cattle export trade lies." '

A VIA TION PIONEERS

Nowadays an aeroplane, soaring high, ls a commonplace. event, and the Dominion is dotted. with alr- pmts and Customs air harbours. The following interesting comment. on the early desires of man to fly ls taken from a recent editorial in the Monteral Gazette:

The idea of constructing a “fly- ing ship" for ages haunted the human imagination. It attracted the attention of Roger Bacon in the thirteenth century, of Leonardo do. Vincl in the fifteenth century, of Cavendish in the elchteenth cen-

’ tnvoivcd when the dispute with Ja- pan took the form it. did on Febru. ‘_ dry 24, and the line which such ac- tion will rake is indicated by the rnbargo on war munitions now an- ounced by Britain; and which will douhtedly give a lead to the other utions to take a similar course. It should be noted, however, that e embargo applies to China as ell as to Japan, and this, suggests e Winnipeg Free Press, may be egarded as a weakness in the pro- dure. In order to maintain neu- lity, the nation applying the s embargo includes China, hlch is being aggressed upon, as ell as against the declared and oclalmed aEEressor-Japan. This uts the victim nation, which may ldly need assistance in its efforts i to defend itself, in the position where assistance is withheld from lt; and in this particular instance the embargo, while absolutely sound ln principle, may actually work out to the advantage of Japan-which la will armed-and to tho disadvan- tske of China, which needs help to defend herself against Japan's ag- gresslon.

The arms embargo, however, ls merely tha first step. This dispute ln Manchurla will demonstrate

how necessary it is for the League of Nations to carry its influence farthrf than it. has vet done in the lmm: o. oupun. Wmm the aggres- sor has been denounced, there must. ,,be some provision which does not iexclude the nation against whom - Jttlte aggression ls made. That the League ts working still on this issue

OUR CATTLE TRADE

Brazilian priest. who appealed to His Majesty tl1¢ King of Pmtligal to pmtedt b?! patent a contrivanoe which, it was figured, “might traveldthrough tllfl air two hundred miles in “Vent-Y- four hours." The contnvance never got beyond an engraving of its pro- posed format. Many a year after- wards, when aerial flight became a live topic in the British coffee houses, Addison poured sarcasm upon the notion by mying that "it. would flll the world with wicked intrigues such as people cannot meet who have nothing but their own leg! to carry $11011"

EDITORIAL NOTES

The fact ls noted. in. s. New Brunswick exchange that. the first entrance of the Mari- time Provlnoes into steam-naviga» than on the high seas, occurred in 1333. The present, year is the cen- tennial of that event. The ship was the Royal William. She was not built in the Marltlmes, despite the era which she lnnttgilrated. She was built, on the St. Lawrence not far from the City of Quebec. But the fact that, capital raised 1n ltfontrcal and Halifax, produced the chip, gives connection with this section of Canada. The Royal William, taking her name from the reigning covqelgn on the British Throne, William IV., not only was the fluf- meamship built in what. now is Can- ada, but, also was the first steam- drlvcn vessel to show the British flag ln a port of the United State! of America. Not long after launch- lng she strpeared in Boston Harbor Wlth a cargo and was liven an en-

One of the most. encouraging of many encouraging signs o.’ the times is the appointment of Sen- ator Cordell Hull. of Tennessee, as Secretary of State in the Roose- velt Caoinet, shortly to assume office. senator Hull Ls one of the outstanding members of the upper brunch of Congress, the man from

of reciprocity."

Senator Hull believes that revl- slon of war debts-one of the chief problems to be tackled by the new Administration as soon as it takes omce-would be useless unless ac- companied by a reduction of trade obstacles. As a guarantee of good faith the Senator expressed the view recently that the United Stat- es should take the lead in propos- ing a l0 per cent horizontal tariff reduction, to be joined in by other countries. A similar suggestion was made by Sir John Aird in his rec- ent presidential address at the an- nual meeting of the Canadian Bank of Commerce.

The legislatures in several of the provinces are in session and there is an encouraging note in some of the proceedings. In New Brunswick, for example, the Speech from the Throne on Thursday referred to the beneficial effects already felt as a result of the agreements made at the Imperial Economic Conference, “and with a, readjustment o1 ex- change, the trade of this province should the greatly stimulated and im- proved.” On thc samc clay the Speech in the British Columbia As- sembly noted that timber ship-merits from the coast had increased by 10 per cent, and the trade within the lnnpire by 69 pcr cent. over 193i. At the same time Hon. Mr. Mac- Pherson in his budget speech in the Saskatchewan Legislature was fore- casting a surplus, at the end of next fiscal years operations of $4,005.

The Reciprocity Treaty n! 1011, which we. defeat/ed at the polb. was unsatlsfactcry for more roas- ons than one. It was for no definite period of time, and it. was so from- ed that the change of a single item by either country would have brought the operation of the agree- ment to an end. As Mr. Bennett has said, any trade agreement which cream a channel of trade that may be terminated at. the caprtce of, or without, notice to, either party or be ended by one party without considering the interests- of the other would ‘he fatal to the inter- ests 0f both.

The reciprocity debate in Parlin-. ment. and the speeches favoring the. proposal by Premier Bennett, R. ‘B. Hanson, M. P., and others, seems tn have started something in tho United States. The Americans as the result. of cxhorbitant tariff enactments have 10st the bulk of their once proflablo trade with Olnada and would much like to get it, back. The agreements made at the Ottawa conference last year have caused them loss of sleep. and they are now apparently wil- ling to talk business. They will find Premier Bennett ready to deal with them, but he will not be a party to any jug-handled bargain.

PECULIARITIES IN CHILDEDX SHOULD BB CORRECTED,

Some years ago I examined all the boys o! a large reformatory . school and among other thing; (113. Icovered that at least one half of

the boys came from homes where the parents tvere not living togcthgg

I believe that this teaches that. the surroundings of youngsters has very much to do with their behavior.

A ycuxigster may be normal nat- urally but his surroundings-war- cnts,‘ home, cvcn school itself-are such that he is in conflict with them at all times.

Another youngster may have lit- tle personal peculiarities which are not much ln themselves, but if there is no sympathy or direction in the home, these peculiarities tn-

stead of being corrected grow to !such an extent that the youngster ' is soon in need of mental treatment. These personal peculiarities may c ti Ldity, outbursts of temper, _ luck of sociability, dislike oi pi ylng with other children, 0b- stlnacy. Orthcre may be behavior disorders such as stealing, lying, or playing truant, temper outburtss. Or, there may be also habit dis- orders such, as nail biting or thumb sucking. ' '

Some idea of how important. it is to ‘get. these peculiarities corrected in children is found in the report of the out patient-department for ner- vous diseases in Guy's Hospital, London, England.

Seventy adult patients were treated and the results were check- ed up two years later. Of this num- ber 14 were improved and 12 were much improved. This gives a per- centage of 37 improved or cured.

A similar investigation among 00 children two years after their treatment" showed that 15 were im- proved and that 24 were much im- proved, a percentage of 65. In- cluded in this group were all variet- ics, even such unfavorable ones as feeble minded and epileptic child- I811.

You can thus see what helpful work can be done at the plastic Age of children as compared with adults. The thought then is that child- ren who show any of the peculiarl- tles mentioned above should be treated by parents, teachers, and physicians just. as they would be treated for any physical ailment. And the earlier the peculiarity is recognized and corrected the better for the mental health of the child.

Sir-Jr. is not with any deslra for personal publicity that I re- quest space in your valued mper to place before the public the facts In the case of Mrs. Lacey. The sen- sational news which recently ap- peared about her ln the newspap- ers was a police theory which stmsequent investigation proved tn he absolutely without foundation.

Mrs. Lacey is a registered Pri- vate Nurse and has spent several winters in that occupation in Bos- ton and vicinity, her summe o be- ing spent at her home on the Is- land, Last fall, finding conditions not good in the nursing profession, she accepted a position as cook ln a doctor's home at Chestnut Hill, Muss. qwo years ago, however, she was retained as nurse to a lady patient for some six months, and during that time became acquainted with other members and some friends of the family, including a youth, than about seventeen ycarsof age, Dhilird James Burke.

Since that time Mrs. Lacey ooh- tinucd to be interested in her for- mer patient, who never recovered normal health, and has paid her regular visits at the hospital where she is at the present time. On one of these calls at; the hospital Mrs. Lacey again happened to meet: James Burke. Burke told her that since their previous meeting he had got into trouble with the law and had spent some time in the Con- cord Reformatory. on that account. he complained, he was having difficulty tn getting a Job. but had one ln sight it he could obtain a car. He was prepared to pay a reasonable cash installment but his Retotmatory record made it hard for him to obtain credit for the balance. Mrs. Iaeey sympathlzed with his predicament, believing that. he was stncere in his desire for honest employment. Bome days later Burke called. on her, bringing the ca: agent with him. Before they left they came to an arrangement whereby Burke paid $150.00 cash and. obtained credit for a co atlvely small balance to be paid at the rate of $11.00 per month, which Mrs. Incey endorsed. ‘rhls arrangement together with the registration ln her name gave Mrs. Lacey legal ownership of the oar, as security until the balanw was finally paid.

When this car was later identi- flcd as the "bandit car" in a crim- inal case, Mrs. Lacey was taken to Police headquarters and accused of having supplied it. to facilitate the culprit‘: escape. Hence the charge and the large amount of bell. as mentioned in the press. Mrs. IAcey, however. was able to exonerate herself completely.‘ Her explanation was investigated and proven to be correct, and sh was accordingly released, the charge against her being unconditionally “withdrawn.

I wish to express appreciation of the action of friends in this Pro- vince who have stood staunchly by Mrs. Inoey in her harrowing ex- perlence.

CONDITIONS IN U. S. A.

Sin-Your many readers, as well as our personal friends and kln on ‘The Island” may be interested in some first hand information as to conditions ln the “Sunny South" section of the so-mlled the “land of the free". The annual "trek" to the warm eouthland starts about Nov. 1st and consists of a. great variety of tourists and others. The millionaire may go in the luxuri- ous pisllman car to his winter pal- ace in Palm Beach, where servants have the place all ready for these, "nobleman" with their wives and retlnuea. Others travel by motor car often with their families who attend school in the south. Be- sides those, there are hundreds of thousands of "hitch hikers" with all thelnworldly pomcsslons in a. but: on their back and no money- depending entirely on chartty en route as well as at the destination. It is estimated that. there are more
