k sibiie. .

"Ibis clause was finally deleted to m“ the wishes of the Hon- W- M- ha, thruster of Agriculture, and‘ other prominent Liberals who were prudent. Ml‘. Leo spoke disfllipfw‘ gqiy g1 the Association adoptinfl h" gytggonistlc attitude towards the h-eaty with New Zealand and Au- gh-glia, and argued‘ that our farmers opposed to further duties on (prm implements and therefore could not logically ask for protection on their own products. As quoted by the local Liberal organ, Mr. Lea stat- ed: “'I.‘he farmers here should take the some broad view as the farmers of British Columbia. who refused to p”; any resolution against the truth" _

This was the attitude of our Min- ggq- fe Agriculturo in March last. when the question was more or less lithe academic stage. It has been the attitude persiste itly maintained by the Liberal press up "i=0 l1 few weeks ago. Some of its last utter- ances, in the Patriot of Nov. 20th last, m worth recalling in the light or the present situation:

“The fact remains that the butter production in 1927 was the second highest on record in quantity, and set a new record in value. Obviously then the New zegland imports did not affect the price "of the Canadian pro- duct. It was imported simply because the Canadian producers were not able to supply the home demand."

As pointed out by The fiuardian, the Liberal organ omitted to publish the National Dairy Council's report. then available, of the falling off in butter production in 1928 and its as- sertion that this decline was due to New Zealand lmportations.

After quoting with approval a statement in the Farmers‘ Sun, that “than is no evidEnce that New Zeal- end butter affects prices in the East- ern Provinces” the Patriot oi Nov. 39th last sapiently pointed out our duty even in the event of being un- dsreold by New Zcaland competitors:

, "We are selling large quan- tities of goods to them. and ne- cessarily we must buy their pro- ductnnThis is not a "fiscal fad," it. is-e. plain fact of economics which nojmount of "buttery pro- paganda" can overcome." 4 c

Is it not time thaixwe had a. re- statement of the case from those who so recently sneered at the “buttery propaganda" which was designed to protect our farmers and merchants from the very situation that has

arisen during the past week? _

RADIUM CANCER CURE

A French physician at a. recent meeting of medical men »in Paris, gave a report of experiments in the treatment of cancer by radium, con- ducted by him during the past five or six years. The treatment, he de- clared, had been very successful. A percentage of some twenty-four of the number of owes treated liacl been completely cured, while the majority of the remainder were greatly benefit- ted.

No doubt, cancer,‘ like many other diseases, will ultimately be conquered by science. But perhaps a more sig- nificant statement than that regard- ing the cancer cures was made by the doctor when he said that the amount oi radium available in the world to- day was not sufficient to meet the demands, and that this was because the production was being held up for commercial reasons by corpora- tions controiling the _only districts now known to produce it. _

The cost of producing radium‘ is necessarily very great, making the price practically prohibitive. But when it is stated that the production is being deliberately curtailed in or- der to enhance the value, the situ- ation is really alarming. lt has been known for years that cancer is iri- creasing. So far radium is the most successful treatment that has been attempted, and according to the statement above mentioned it has been successful in so many cases as to make it imperative in the interests of humanity that its use be made as general as possible.

Sufferers from this terrible disease will find little consolation in thefact that the only known remedy‘ is being ruthlessly exploited.

Legitimate commerce and industry must‘ not be hampered by govern- mental action; but when the very necessaries of life are being monopo- lized for profiteering purposes, then some preventawe action should be possible. '

This is emphatically the age of combines, some of them necessary but all of them instituted for profit- making. When we permit them to exploit human suffering we are fol- lowing the road of Egypt, Babylon, and other nations that have perish- edf There should be a remedy.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Australian newspapers are com- plaining of the January heat. Dairy production seems however to be go- ing on just the same.

“Severe weather, Sam," observed Mr. Pickwick. "Fine uiné for them as Ewell wrapped up. as the Polar Bear said to himself when he was practising at the skating,“ replied Mr. Weller.

A member of the staff of the Sia- mese Legation knocked down a man in London with his automobile, and s fuss is being made because the law "cannot touch him. Washington was annoyed some time lgo because the British limbmylhm claimed e:-

The nations of the world have been inventing schemes for the pre- vention of war, and those of them which were foremost in this propa- ganda. for peace are today busily eli- gaged in adding m‘ their navies. The prospects of peace iii the circum- stances are somewhat clouded. The United States led the way, both in the tactics for peace and in the en- largement of its navy. The others, while subscribing to the peace pro- posals, are following in the naval competition. Italy is the last to add greatly to its naval strength, and her newspapers Jusify the measure" on_ the ground that others are doing it and that Italy, if true to herself, can- not lag behind. How will it end?

In an allegorical novel entitled, “The Legends of Smokeover," an English writer describes modern con- ditions as making inevitably for war, despite the appearance of industrial pic-occupation exhibited in the large manufacturing and commercial cen- tres of which "Smokeover" is an ex- ample. The economic system, the trade, the manufactures, the business, the WRSB-eflrlilng and profit-making that go on from day to day, all look peaceable enough; but we are asked to observe things with a closer eye. We find that "wealth in Smokeover is so distributed that it can be easi-

the commlssariat of war," and "the

peace is thebasis for the distribu- tion of power in time of war." We are referred to the statistics of rich and poor. "Lo and behold, they roughly display the proportion of of- ficers and privates contributed by the ‘city to the recent war. Is that an accident? What a war-making civ- iliaation demands is a relatively small class of the rich and well-to. do to furnish the money and. the of- ficers, and a relatively large class of the poor to fill the ranks and clean up the mess. Exactly what you will find in Smokeover."

Under the writer’: analysis, our peace-time industrlallsm takes on a sinister attitude. "In the foreground of the picture are the slums and the suburbs, the chimneys andthe tennis lawns, the factories and the mansions. the churches and the taverns, the throng in the streetand the crowd at the football match; in the background are marching hosts and bloody bat- tles; and between the two run links of meaning and purpose, which so con- nect them that. foreground and back- ground combine together into one consistent whole. The transition from peace to war in our city is not violent, as some think, but natural and easy. ‘In a war-lilaking world “mokeover stands ready for use at the shortest notice, and with the least possible breach with existing habits of mind. One may compare the inhabitants to a. mighty shoal of fishes imprisoned in a far-flung and invisible net, which encloses so vast an area of the ocean that the fishes may swim and disport themselves for hundreds of miles, and reproduce their kind generation after genera- tion, without once discovering that they are in a cruel trap. When war neegs_..ihe fishes the net is drawn in." Surely a sombre picture; but one on which we might do well to ponder casionally.

The British House or Commons is still the theatre of some classic de- bates, though the days .of Gladstone and Disraeli are over. Recently, in reply to criticism levelled at the term "charity" in connection with the Government assistance to the Lord ‘Mayor's Fund for the reilef of distressed miners, Premier Baldwin saidz-"To hon. Members who dis-

I would make one observation: Char- ity is the word that is used in the Authorised Version: the Revised Version uses the word ‘love.’ I would commend that u. them."

(m Setluldsy Review, London)

The advocates of the Channel tun- nel are elain active and all the ar- guments which have for so long been ’ up with nowhere to Io are promised another airing. They need it, for on both sides, for and against the tunnel, they seem to have grown a little sentimental ‘and old- msidish. The decisive ~ argument against the tunnel in the past has al-

e» ChanelTunneli

ways been that it would make invas- j . .

ion of this country easier, and to this

view many distinguished soldiers from '_' i.

Lord Wolseiey downwards have sub- scribed. There is still something in it. The trouble is not that it will be eas- ier to land men on our shores if they

can come by train. It has never been '

difficult to land men here-the same

fleet, for example, that bombarded .

Hal-tlepool in the war might have

landed a thousand men just as easily. "

The difficulty is pot in gg ing the men across but in llillin them here and still more in getting them back. Sea-power operates not by erecting an uncrossable parapet of naval fire but by cutting (or main- taining) communicatlqls across the sea.

No naval man will guarantee im- munity from invasion by a small force which is prepared to commit suicide, but nearly all will promise that the invasion shall be on so small S10E18 that no enemy in his senses will et- tempt it until he has secured com- mand of the seas. If the enemy has command of an alternative route un- der the sea, obviously he is, for so long as it remains open, independent of sea-power. What that indepen- dence is worth depends on circum- stances. It is true that a tunnel can easily be destroyed, that a hole in the ground is an impossible place to de- bouch from in the face of opposition. But one has to think of the psycho- logical effect that the existence of this hole wpuld have on the mind of our people. Undoubtedly they would insist on having powerfufbattcrles commanding the exits from the tun- nel. and a fairly strong force in the immediate neighborhood. If these precautions were not to add to the cost of the army they would subtract from its strength elsewhere, and that -_~not so much actual fear of invas- ion-is probably at the root of the military objection. It is not formid- able but it is appreciable, it adds to the burden of the case hlch the advocates have to make o t for con- struction. ' ‘

Au Easier Way

The military objections have been further weakened by air-power, which has opened an easier way into this country than through a. tunnel. But the aeroplane has also weakened the argument that the tunnel would save time for travellers. Those who are in such a. dreadful hurry can now take an aeroplane. As for the argument that crossing the Channel, makes many people sea-sick, we refuse to gmtake it seriously. There is always Mothersill, which islcheaper than a tunnel and is guaranteed free from strategic or political complications.

Moreover, there are worse thiflfls even than sea-sickness, and the at- mosphere of a tunnel twenty-one miles long might be one of them. A more solid argument for-the construc- tion of a tunnel iscne that is rarely mentioned. It is that it would dimin- ish the danger of a blockade. The conditions of blockade are at present- ly heavily biased against an island as compared with a continental Pow- er. For the continental Power block- aded at sea. may have neutral neigh- bors from which she can continue to import by railway. whereas an 181W! Power has no railway communicat- tioris with neutral Powers unless there is a. tunnel. Due weight should be given to this argument. But, after all. the amount that we could import by a single line of railway would make precious little difference, and if we

~ made not one but a dozen tunnels
