Naturally the first thought in a parent's mind should be and is the health of the child.

If he is not gailiing weight reg- ularly as the months go by, if he appears to be listless most of the time. if his school reports are not what you would like to see. if he seems more‘ irritable than he has any right to be,.then itis certainly your duty to gct busy and investi- gate the matter. i

If the family doctor after over- hauling him says that there is no organic condition needing attention, then you can go ahead yourself ad- justing things.

Perhaps he is indoors loo milcli. sitting around reading when he should be outdoors playing, Or per- haps in the kindness of your heart you are letting him attend the niov- ics often ,and stay still the last

We have perused some keen cri- ticism, pro and con. on that very important subject viz, “Peace or War, or how best to maintain In- ternational Peace."

Those critics are located ill Lon- don, Ottawa and Hon. Mr. Ralston. M. P., Minister of the Peace, in the House of Commons at Ottawa. The debate rose well above the ordinary class from the sentimental view- point. but when it turned on prac- tical considerations it was quickly held up. chock-a-block as the old seaman expresses it. That is to say when National Security was brought over the coals.

During the debate on Miss Mac- phail's motion for thc establishment of a government department for the Prcmot‘ n of Peace and Internat- ional iderstanding. took place in the House of Commons. A few brief quotations will perhaps suggest the line of argument and lead to the reading of the speeches themselves:

The immigi-aion side of this Q1163‘ tion is vital to the welfare of Can- ada. It is thc more so because the . present Government has done noth- ing to deport the Communistic ele- ment which has become dehfiflfflufi in thc larger Canadian cities, and which could be deported under "i" isting laws; and because Parliament is now being asked to probc into the alleged abuses of the “perm-t Esystem" under which it ls charged ‘that immigration officials have been bribed with payments of $500 ‘m $1.000 to admit to the, country. persons of thc class prohibited by ‘the immigration law and T001113‘ .tions.

The Ottawa Government wllecled almost $15,000,000 last year in excise taxes on liquors manufactured in Canada. This includes no part or the vast revenues collected on liqu- ors that were imported, and none of the large revenue derived from brewery and distillery licenses. Our Prohibition advocates, who profess to be horrified at the thought of the Province deriving profit by taking control of the liquor traffic, are discreetly silent about this. really so far as they can do so concealing the facts. it. seems to be very closely related thereto.
