Oi the reasons for the "exile" of William Lyon Mackenzie a century

ago, the Dictionary oi Canadian

Wallace, M. A., Librarian of the University oi roronto, has this to say: ‘v

"Oi the rebellion of Decembe , 1837, in ‘Upper Canada, he was the chief organizer; and there is reason ior beleving that,

during that unfortunate episode,

revolt, and Mackenzie was iorc

l-Wlth B- prlce on his head. In the town oi Buffalo he collected a disorderly rabble, who seized and fortified Navy Island, in the river between the two countries, and for some weeks troubled the Canadian frontier. After the failure of this attempt he was put to the most pitiful shifts to make a living. In June I839 he was tried in the United States for a breach of the neutrality laws, and sentenced to eighteen months‘ imprisonment, of which he served eleven. While in gaol at Rochester he published the ‘Caroline Afinanac’, the tone oi which may be judged from its references to ‘Victoria Guelph, the BLOODY Queen of England‘, and by the

title given to the British cabinet divan.’ He returned to Canada

Act 1840. A closer inspection had cured him of his love for re-

publican institutions."

THE ACID TEST

The Federal Liberal leader has come and gone, and his "messag? about Canada having gone to the bow-wows undelzthe Bennett ad-

_ ministration has been duly deliver-

ed. Stripped of its oratorical verbi- age, what does it amount to? This week, in New York, the Bonnet: Government borrowed $20,000,000 on short, term loan at three-quarters of one per cent. This bargain, an ex- change points out, sets a new a1l~

' time low record for Dominion bor-

rowing. The money thus raised will. be used in retiring old Grand Trunk Railway bonds bearing seven pcr cent. interest. The country is thus furnished with fresh evidence of what the present administration has accomplished in maintaining the nation's credit at_the highest possible level in face of a. six-year world depression, which began un- der the preceding Liberal adminis- tration. It ls true that money ls plentiful in the world to-dav, but that circumstance would not have availed the Federal treasury had the nation's affairs not been man- aged with consummate ability in the presence of unprecedented dif- ficultles.

We said in anticipation that Mr. Bennett would make mince- meat of m. King's sophlstries. Read his last nights speech for absolute confirmation of our pro- vhecr.

There is no one in Canada. U- S. A. or even in Ihlrope super- ior to m. Bennett as a Statesman. His grasp of world and domestic problems, and how eflectively to handle them is simply marvellous.

Imagine the ‘type of man Mr. King is when he would boast oi history repeating itself in calling our gracious King (‘Bloody George," as his grandfather called Victoria the Gocd—-"Bloody' Victoria".

Historians agree that William Lyon Mackenzie, who wok up arms against his wverelgn to establish a republic, was insane. And his grandson claims history is repeat- ing itself in his own case.

Mr. King ls living on and ex- ploiting the reputation of his ma- ternal grandfathar as a revolution- ary. He lacks the courage and in- ltiative to start anything of that kind himself.

The British Labor Party must consider the ltalo-Ethlopisn situa- tion grave indeed when it decides by an overwhelming majority on the League oi Nations insisting upon "sanctlons"—which means war. They leek-and says-that Italy means war anyway.

The gasoline tax "war" is still’ raging irl Montreal to the delight of auwlsts, who are getting their gas at 17c per gallon, including tax. Motorists have found that since the “war” started July l the operating cost of their automobiles has been the lowest in years.

Premier Lea asserted before the election that there was to be no more marketing beards without a meeting of farmers interested con- vened fcrr the purpose. What about the Live Stock Marketing Board now organized and floated without any such meeting? Just another Liberal promise broken-made to get in on!

' "The proof oi the pudding is the preein‘ o 't". The Canadian farm- ers position in the British market for last year. as shown by Domin- ion Buleau of Statistics was: First in wheat sales; first in oats; nlst in wheat flour; first in apples; sec- ond ln live cattle; second in bacon; second in ilsms; second in cheese, and second in undrersed hides. Yet Mr. King has the effronter tw tell us that the Ottawa Agree". r sure no good.

It is all very well for Mr. King to say that he will go back to 1929 tariiIs. Our farmers had rumcient experience of New Zealand butter

A wise direction oi the northern Abyssin- ian forces would allow the Italians into the mountain zone from Erit- rea, tangle them in the valleys, and then slaughter them piecemeal as the Ru sians handled the Frerch during the retreat from Moscow.

There still remains to be con- jectured the effect of such mod- ern war weapons as long range ar- tillery, bombs and mustard gas. But these are for attack on massed for- ces. If the Ethiopians scatter and retain their mobility, there ls no reason why they should not. wear down Italy, even though Ethiopian armament-l are scanty and old- fashioned.

0n sll counts, " "s Abys- sinian adventure seems a foolhard! thing. Perhaps s few months of bitter experience cf actual fighting in Ethiopia would teach him this lesson more effectively than years of wrangling around conference tables at Gleam.

Notes By The Way

The democracies of the world that entered the League of Nations have stayed in. Two of- the great countries under despotic rule, Jap- sn and Germany‘, have left ft. Italy will leave it if she is not permitted to break the Covenant. Tile Lea- gue should so act as to keep the democracies within it. They need mutual help in l. world threatened by fascism and communism.

Mussolini’: assurance that he will respect British rights in the Ethi- opian adventure assulnee that Bri- tain is thinking only of her inter- est, not her duty, in trying to pre- vent war in East Africa. He is putting Britain on his own moral level. And that is where Britain will put herself if she consults only her rights and disregards her League obligations. It would be a great triumph for Mussolini.

After any severe illness or oper- ation l; ls only good sense to have the patient remain in bed for some lune. In the case of illness it gives me heart a chance to get. back some of its reserve strength before any strain is put on it by‘ the patient getting around too much- and too soon.

After an operation the patient re- mains in bed for a few days to give the body, including the heart, a chance to get over the shock- which may take three or four days -and also that the wound and underlying tissues will not be dis- turbed during the healing process.

There has been a feeling ior some time in the minds of many surgeons that patients should be sitting up and actually getting out on their feet for a few ‘minutes daily, much sooner than is usually the case at present. ‘

when the patient lies in bed too long the stomach doesn't seem to want focd, the bowel doesn't become active, there is some danger of swelling of the legsand also danger of complications such as pllcu- monla.

Thus in appendix cases, oper- ations on the stomach and gall bladder, or repairing a hernia or rupture. Dr. A. Chalier, Lyons, France, states that he gets his pat- ients up between the third and flfth day—that ls to say as soon as the, shock following operation has pass- ed off. For the first few days cf course. the patient only stays up fifteen to thirty mlnutu. He claims by this means to shorten the con- valescence (time taken to get well), hasten the bladder and bowel func- tions, and get the patient home in ten to fourteen days. In children there is no need to let them up so soon. . Now this getting up so soon and leaving the hospital a few days to a week sooner than is usual, is meant only for the ordinary uncomplicated cases; where there has been any pus formation or. where drainage has been necessary it. would be s grave mistake to have the patient up so soon. Also after operations on the colon or large intestine a longer stay in bed is necessary.

It would be easy to write oi the‘ Seventeenth Parliament on a note of failure.

Failure there was t0 fulfil the high hopes of 1930. when most of ushad not yet learned how sick the world had become. but set against this i5 a record of brave effort, of ca!" stfugfle for betterment, of sustain- ed legislative achievement not al- ways unsuccessful.
