So Sensitive!
“some of us," said Hon. w. n. lfotherwell, ex-Muiistcr of Agri- rulture in the King Government, ‘are so sensitive on tariff matters that we can see them in every woodpile." This remark was occa- lloned by the opposition of Liberal members ln the House of Commons to Bill No. 87, introduced by the Hon. Robert Weir, ivlinister of Ag- riculture, to amend the Root Veg- etables Act in accord with the re- quests of the potato growers of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick and of the Canadian Horticultural Council, asking that new potatoes be brought under the same grading regulations as other potatoes.
Mr. Motherwelrs rebuke to his Liberal colleagues who opposed the legislation was certainly called for. It was said sneeringly by one oi these critics from the Liberal Op- position benches: "Who is asking for this legislation? The Potato Growers of Prince Edward Island, who never can supply the whole market of Canada with their pota- tos. The Horticultural Council al- so asks for this legislation. Who are they? An organization compos- ed of dealers, for the growers with- drew from the organization last yearP-a statement promptly con- tradicted by the Hon. J. A. Mac- Donald, who spoke strongly in sup- port of the bill.
The discussion on the bill, re- printed in todays Guardian, will be read with interest by our potato Brewers in this Province. It shows plainly the obstructionist tactics of Liberal members to the friendly at:- titude of the Bennett Government towards Maritime agricultural pro- ducers. I-lad the Kim; Government been in power with astrong phalanx of Western free-traders dictatlngits policies, our potato growers can flgure out for themselves what would have happened to their re- quest for an amendment to the Root Vegetables Act!
That New Zealand Treaty
Our local contemporary has, m- turned to its first love. the New Zealand treaty. and complains bit- terly 0f the benefits of which our farmers were deprived by the can- cellation of the trade agteeqneni, under which millions of pounds of New Zealand butter entered Can- "438 annually at one cent a. pound duty. It seems to forget the fact that it was the King Government that cancelled that arrangement, that Mr- Kine and his candidateoin this Province admitted its injurious effect upon. the dairy interests of Canada and promised, if elected, not to make such an egregious hade blunder again. If the Liberal organs recollection does not extend lo the campaign speeches made by its federal leader and party can- lidates last year, the following quo- tations may serve as a. reminder:
“A year ago there began to be a bit of depression all over the world, and that depression began t0 b9 ffllt in our own country to some extent. When we saw that depression was coming on, and butter in the meantime began to come in quantities from New Zealand, we said here is a prac- tical concrete situation with which the dairy interest of the country is fuccd. Our first duty is to look after our own people, AND WE THINK IT WOULD BE UNWISE TO ALIJOW THIS COMPETITION T0 GO ON to an extent that might possibly begin to affect adversely the dklfy interests."-—Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King. in Strand Thea- tre, Charlottetown, June 2i, 1930.

Daily Mail Service
Yesterday was a red-letter day in the transportation history of the Province, inasmuch as it marked the inauguration of a daily train service. This daily service. which will continue in operation until September, was put into effect at the request of the Tourist Associa- tion, the Board of Trade and other organizations and will be of particu- lar advantage during the busy sum- mer season. This service is ln op- eration in other parts of Canada and it is regarded as fitting and proper that Prince Edward Island should receive the same considers- tlon as other Provinces in this re- spect. /
Many have been the delays and difficulties in carfylng out the terms of Confederation with respect to uninterrupted communication with the mainland. Year by year, however, these obstacles are being overcome. With the inauguration shortly of the new car ferry serv-' ice, operating jointly with a daily train service in the summer and
city and country, there is good mason to look forward to a new era in the transportation history of the Province. There will‘ always be drawbacks and inconveniences to our isolated position in the winter months, but these conditions also are being alleviated. The manage- ment of the Canadian National Railways has shown a disposition to recognize the claims of this Province to special consideration. and its attitude in this respect is fully appreciated.

Aoconding lo Baboon, the Boston economist, psychology, as the cause of depression or boom. is ,"the bunk." He says that talking op- timism or , ‘ ism never did cause prosperity or depression. Per- haps he is right. Nevertheless, no man was ever encouraged to get out of the dumps by putting the worst face on a. situation, and no man was ever restrained from extravagance by being encouraged to do something foolhardy" Psycho- logy may not be a primary muse, but it is a contributing factor and cheerful talk will often restore courage to a man who has lost his nerve. Everybody has known peo- ple who have been made sick be- cause others have told them they were not looking well; and many a sick man has been started on the road to recovery by a. cheerful at’- mosphere.
It is a. very serious mitter when men holding positions of respon- sibility in, for example the field of education, take it upon themselves to encourage a movement which aims at the destruction of political and social institutions which the majority of people in this country are determined to uphold and per- petuate. The spread of communism has been sufficiently rapid and is sufficiently serious in Canada with- out gratuitous assistance in the fonn of academic sophistries back- ed by the restlge of institutional office.
Momentous things appear to be happening behind the scenes of the world stage. Following upon the visits to London of Germany's Prime Minister and Foreign Sec- retary, word comes that Premier MacDonald will be in Berlin on July l7. Meanwhile United States Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is in London conferring with Mr. MacDonald and the Governor of the Bank of England, and- an- nouncement is made that Secretary of State Stlmpson is on his way to Europe.
All of these gentlemen, we infly be sure, are not travelling for their health. They are much more likely to be travelling to and fro in the interest of things that will mean much to the whole world. It may be, of course, that they will fail, either completely or partially, in what they are trying to do. Yet it is significant of good that they are making an effort to get somewhere. and that the effort is being made on tihe plane of oo-.peration, un- derstanding and good-will.
It is my considered opinion, Dorothy Thompson writes that a war against Poland would be furl- ously popular with nearly everyone under 30 in Germany. Itis my con- sidered opinion that boys of this age would march to the front in a war against Poland with enthus- iasm, even if they were armed with nothing better than kitchen knives and. alpen-stlcks.

EATING LIVER. TO PREVENT BLEEDING
Perhaps you have wondered what was wrong with some friend or ac- quaintance because he ls what. is called I "bleeder" one who bleeds easily, and in whom it is difficult to stop bleeding once it starts.
This condition is known as hae- mophllia and occurs only in males, but transmitted by the female; that is the daughter of a man afflicted with hsemophllia will hand lt down to her son but not to her-daughter, and then the daughter of this son will hand it down to her sou and so forth.
The bleeding may occur of its own accord but usually follows some in- jury which in a normal individual would not cause bleeding. And be-
bleedlng often continues so long that blood from other individuals must be injected into the patient to save his life. It would appear that one of the substances in the blood that causes it to clot is defective, thus delaying clotting time so that it takes hours instead of minutes.
Now just. what it is that ls effect- ive or deficient in this substance that clots the blood is not known. but it would appear. that our re- search men are on their way to finding out. Dr. J. W. Pickering of Great Britain has found that liver or liver extract will shorten the clotting time of the blood in these cases by 50 per cent. This reduction does not occur till twelve hours after the liver o: the liver extract has been taken. The fact that the clotting does not take place immediately or shortly after the liver is taken, but only after twelve hours, would show that it is not the affect of the liver act.- ing on the blood directly to make it clot, but that the liver acts on tis- sues which improve the substance that helps clot the blood, or that these tissues make more of the sub- stance from the liver or liver ex- tract. Further, when the live: or liver extract is discontinued in these cases, the blood again becomes very slow in clotting. The big point then is that in these bleeders, or haemophillacs as they are called, there is likely something deficient about the liver, when sim- ply eating liver will help to correct the condition. As the condition is hereditary, and at present not curable, it is gratify- ing to know that it can be helped to such a great extent by eating liver daily. This may make blood trans- fusions now unnecessary in many cases.
Scottish. Craft Guilds
(“J. S." in the Montreal Gazette) We first hear of craftsmen in Scottish records in a grant by King Malcolm IV to the_Abbot of Scone about 1164, when the monastery was granted authority to have a. smith, a skinner and a shoemaker for the services of the Abbey with all the privileges such tradesmen enjoyed in the neighboring town of Perth. In spite of thts we find that crafts- men organizations, and for long afterwards, were very frequently denounced. It is as well to restate that Scotland was very largely de- pendent on the importation of man- ufactured articles as their mer- chants considered themselves too valuable citizens to encourage home industries; they were the aristo- crats. The following extract is quoted by Marwick in his Edin- burgh Crafts and Guilds: “In-1587 Robert Vernour, skinner, having been admitted a Guild brother, be- came bound to observe and keep the laws and consuetudes of burgh concerning the guild, to desist and cease from all trade and occupa- tion in his own person that is not comely and decent for therank of a Guild Brother; that his wife and servants shall exercise no point of common cookery outwith his own home." They must not even ap- pear in the streets with their ap- rons and servlettes. ‘this shows the Merchants to be a class set apart from the burgh individual and t; esmen. ‘
As already stated, the Merchant Guilds very largely dominated burgh councils, and only craftsmen who adjured their trade could be- come members, except restrictions on the Shoemakers or Boutars. Woolcombers could not live in the country if there was work for them in the town, while bakers could only employ three men. Bakers, Brewers, and Butchers were com- pelled to supply goods as long as they had them for sale: if they were not paid, they could summon the debtors, and by doing so’ were not obliged to give further supplies.

all unfree men using staple wares had to become burgesscs and Guild Brothers; if they did not, their booths were closed. Many instances occur in which we find merchants trying to pass as craftsmen. There is one instance at least when a Guild Brother appeared before the Council to renounce his rights, as “he could not sustain the taxation." In the blckerings between the mer- chants and the craftsmen we find many curious instances. Haddlng- ton had a craftsman Mayor or Pro- vost, who along with his Deacons. could outvote the other members of the Council. In Bani‘! the mag- istrates were fishermen and "poor" craftsmen; Brechin ’had no craft organization until the seventeenth century.

The crafts were very Jealous for good workmanship", thus we find many regulations in force as to ap- prenticeship. Marwick gives the following terms of indenture for apprentices".

For: good and efllcient workmanship the following trades: Skinners, Hat- ters, Hammermen, Surgeons and Barbers, Furriers. No doubt many of you will remember the round grass plate which used to dangle at the end of the Barber's pole. This was a relic of the times when Bar- bers were Surgeons.

Four eminent researchers in can- cer, members of the Graduate school of Medicine of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, have present- ed the results of an important study of the alkalinity qf ‘the blood. 1t. is e. study which cannot but have a bearing on the work of those who are trying to discover some ways of controlling the most terrible of modern scourges.

There is food for thought for the Canadian farmer in the recent ar- rival ln the Canadian market of “tinned hilns" from Denmark. When it comes to marketing its production, or over-production if you prefer, the little Kingdom of Denmark sets a pace which is hard to beat. Not only do they market their product in all the usual forms,
‘maintaining the dominant position
in the British market, but thcy are now processing their finest cuts. packaging _them attractively, and making a strong bid for the larger consuming centres in our own Can- adian market. Canadian farmers should find an incentive to oppor- tunity in the situation. A study of the fundamental principles under- lying Danish methods might hold much of useful interest.
