It. has been claimed that the latest decisions of the Privy Council's Judicial Committee dis- closed that this body of Judges lacked familiarity with Canadian conditions and problems. that. ft had contradicted a previous judg- ment of this Committee. that. it find neelizently mlsquotied the British North American Acts. and that it had archaic political views which motivated its efforts to put Canada in the status of a Crown Colony.

‘There are several vernacular uses of the word "strange." and it. is still a perfectly apt. word to use about the current politics of AI- berta. It. is still strange—although we are all by this time habit/dated to the process-to get Premier Aberhnrt/s wes-kty pronouncements on poLttlcs from the Sunday even- ing platbrm of the Edmonton Prophetic Conference.

One of Mr. Aiberhartfs rebellious followers. Mr. A. V. Bourder, Social . Credit memiber for Lac Ste. Anne. has lately been protesting against this method of the Premier's.

“I deplore a government.” say! Mr. Botircler. "which. committed to establLsh Social Credit. does nothing for slx days a week and on Sunday's uses lino Bible and religion to |)l'0l.Cli(1 it. is fighting for Social Credit and tio promote its political purposes."

But. . Aberhart. seemingly re-

iziatns all oblivious-that. is the only charitable word that can be , used -of the justification of such a criticism. i Sunday evening appearances in i the role of prophet, he complained l of hfa crfttu. and his tone was : queruloua indeed. . He said he was tired. He. was , tired of having to "fight. the l financial interests," and. at, the THIS 0F THE SLOW WONDER. same time, "explaining every steip to our followers to keep them fn line.” . -

There is a world of self-revelation in that touch. Mr. Aberhut. rode , into o ffce on the crest of the Wave,

While this Statute of Westminster does not mention dhat certain powers are removed. yet the fact: is that now Dominion Acts (l0 IiDl: Iiecd to be passed by the tests of “disatiowance" or “re. servatfon" of the Imperial Parlia- ment or authorities. though it must be mentioned here that, the {Government in the Mbfherlnnd did not exercise this right: often ‘since 1873. Another change of im- portance is that no Act of the

Dﬂminlﬂn Parliament is invalid if t in imv way conflicts with some Act of the imperial Pftrllamelif which was, the case prior to the vXlsience of the Statute.

Yukon Annexation

(Vancouver Province)

The thing which has rather stag- gered Brftlsh Columbia in connec- tion wtth the proposed annexation of the Yukon ts the field of de- mand which annexation would open up. The settled portion of the Yu- kon fs very far away-JZOO miles, as the crow ﬂies, from the southwest comer of British Columbia. One o! the first things asked for, ff the an- nexatbn were completed. would be n. road to Dawson-and no road in British Columbia goes as the crow flies.

A road to the Yukon would. un- doubtedly have a value. It. would form part. of the route-already projected tn some imaginations- from Cape Horn to Cape Barrow. It would be a. scenic and romantic road. It. would attract tourists. But it. would be costly because of weath- er conditions, for only abOﬂi» B hull- drcd days in the year.

If it. Ls roads that. Mr. Pattullo has it in mind to build-roads that; will be useful. roads that. will open up new count/TY. 1118i’. W111 195d w new scenic beauties, that. will prove

attractive tio tourists. there are plenty of opportunities nearer home.

There is one. for instance, at the very door of Vancouver, that. has been crying out. for bulldtnﬂ I01’ years-the road to Garibaldi Park. This would be one of the most. at- tractive routes in the province. and has tourist possibilities of untold magnitude.

If ft. Ls considered there are ob- jeetfons to the Garibaldi road as doing too much for Vancouver, Mr. Pattullo could find opportunities in the central fnterer. The Peace Riv- er country wants an outlet. and de- serves an outlet. 1t. would be 800d business to izive it a. highway. L00. for there is a great. agricultural re- gion to open up there, and great possibilities of finding placer gold and other mfneraﬁs.

And then. there is the east. to west. route through the Chflcottn, from Williams Lake to Bella Cools. There is a trail there, now. which. if put into shape for motor cars, would provide the final link fn a. very attractive circle tour by ships and highway which would include Mainland and Island and Open UP some of British Columb its most at- tractive tourist. pﬂssibilftfes.

If Mr. Pattullo wants to build roads. there is no need to go to the Yukon. The demand l5 1115f 0"!- sfde his door.

Swelling Heads

(Hamilton Spectator)

Things are happening, or about. to happen, to the human head. The lnereasingiy complex problems of modern civilization. says an Amer- ican savant. may Iééid to develop- merit. of a dome-like forehead to acommodate B. huge brain. Dr. Til- ney, a professor of neurology and neuro-anatnmy at. Columbia unt- verslty, ts the authority for this al- arming prediction-which will please the butters possibly more than the rest- of us.

Eventually-and here is the rub- our skulls will be left. for the scien- ﬂffc probing of learned men in the faraway future. They will date us;

figure out. our habits and our.

thought processes. They may aet our era as that. of the post-glacial swollen cranium. And If they check up on our history as well, the re- suit. maybe a btt embarrassing.

Ibr we must. now be in the early stages of the expanding ‘brow. Our heads are obviously bigger than those of the primitives. And the nec-lithfc skulls unearthed fn vari- ous pull of the world have led to n considerable theorizing about. their ancient mode of llfe. They were. from our standards. stupid fellows. Interested mainly in hunt.- fng and fishing; they knew nothing about psychosis. reﬂexes or submar- ines. ‘may used lfunt instruments and possessed no intellect what- ever.

But. those men of teaming who turn the microscope on the remains of this age will see an awkward co- incidence of mental prowess and general chaos. They may find u the ego and ‘ ' t perfectfonmov- ed along with the growing skull, people were inventing new means of destruction and using them with ‘ZPEHI gusto and abandon. They viihlqtied through the air in mn- chfnea to get from one place to sn-

othexybut. they dropped weapon: from these same machines to wreck fine buildings and kill other tin. mans. Also. in spite of the fact; that they could produce food in vast. quantities, they could find no means of distributing it. property, and even had to burn and destroy

it.

What. the even farger brain wail lead to, we do not know. We can only shut. our eyes and tiope. and let. science in the years ahead ffg- ure out. the results of this structur- al change which is dfscomforiingly prophesied today-

Certalnly complexity is no tiappy goal to aim at. We might feet bet- ter lf Professor Tilney had forecast a. cranial shrlnkaite instead.

Medals

(Hamilton Simtatori

If It. has not. already 11¢ l. done, somebody should write a treatise on the sublﬁct. of medal! The effectiveness of medals. 1m- llke that of llpstldkt imliﬂl-io" beauty BtPOt-s and other fomis of feminine personal adornment. de- pends vitally upon the time and place of the wearing. The occasion is everything.

There was, for instance. that over-zealous territorial who be- longed to a Western Canadfanireil" ment and who thought he WON-id improve his appearance when hi! unit was being inspected by ti" Duke of Connnught. then Governor General of Canada. The D11" passed solemnly down the rank! of men. all standing “at the Dre- sent." Suddenly‘ he stopped and hi: brow puckered with bewilderment He saw, glittering behind one nil! butt: a great. shining star-unlike any other decoration 1n the British army.

"Is this yours?" he asked ti“ soldier. ' ‘

“Yes. sir."

"What. did you get. it for?" said the Duke.

The soldier did not flinch. “I got ft, sir,” he said ."for singing in ti" choir at. New Westminster.“
