Mr. Clark's lllessaye

The cheering message brought to the Charlottetown Board of Trade by Mr. W. McL. Clark, secretary of ' the. Canadian Chamber of C0211- merce, regarding the unmistai-ceziblc evidences throughout Canada ol re~

read with great interest in all PM“ of-the Province. Mr. Clark's assur- ance is more than a mere expression of opinion; it is the statement of a man who knows what he is talklns about. Having re‘"..rncd recently from visiting ihr: Western Provin- ces, he has seen conditions at first hand and his wide trade and commerce qualify him to speak with authority upon what he has seen. With the exception of the areas stricken by ‘crop failures in Southern Saskatchewan, for which relief measures have been taken by Parliament. the signs of the limes. as Mr. Clark emphatically express- ed it, point conclusively that we are on the upgrade in Canada. Corroborating Mr. Clark's state- ments have been the assurances recently given by financiers and industrialists of high repute throughout the country, whose busi- ness it is to make an exhaustive study of economic conditions. The fact that evidences of the de- pression were noticeable as far back

\ turning prosperity, will have been } i i

experience in

ls two and one-half years ago was emphasized by Mr. Clark. It is in- deed unfortunate that Canada did not heed the warning signals at that time, but it would be equally unfortunate if we ignored the signs now pointing unmtstakeabiy in the other direction. “We would be very silly," Mr. Clark said, "if we did not acknowledge these things and learn to appreciate them.”

It is pertinent here to contrast the optimistic attitude of Mr. Clark with the political propagandists who. sincethe defeat of the Mec- kenzie King administration, have been raising the blue ruin cry in Canada. ‘Every imaginable clap- trap has been published to discred- it the-Bennett Government in its efforts at rehabilitation, every kind of propaganda used to persuade the people that things are going from bad to worse,—to set class against blush-province against province; to foster prejudice and suspicion be-

" tween the basic interests, agricul- tural, industrial and commercial, of the country.‘ These propagnndigts have nothing in common with the interests of Canada; their sole ab. ject, apparently, has been to poison the public mind with unfaith and bitterness at a time when the ut- most harmony, confidence and op- timism shculd prevail. Surely, if there is any political lesson to be drawn from the depression out of which Canada is now happily m1. 978mg. it is that a country pays dearly for lack of foresight in its governmental leaders, that the signs and Dortents visible, n5 Mn 913,-],- says, in the early months of 1939 should have been read and int-em Dreted by the administration then in power at Ottawa, and the ap- proaching “Bis averted by ag- gressive tariff legislation and rigid ‘ewﬂomy in OVCILV department o: ‘the government.

Many Alibis!

The visible damning evidence of the extravagance and folly of the Lea Government's election highway activities, seen in the gaping ‘cracks and crevices in the newly finished piece of highway on the Malpeque Road. is too much for the white- wash brush‘ of our local contem- porary, which on ‘Tuesday came out with the following alibi:

“There has been one slight break and that was caused by the upheaval of one culvert, an oc- currence much more common in roads elsewhere than in this Province."

or uncommon, the theory does not seem our con-

Common “culvert" to have impressed tcmporarys readers as being asatis- factory explanation for the actual condition of the road-a condi- tion which, of course, can easily be checked up by per- sonal inspection. So alibi Num- ber Two is trotted out. Here it is, from yesterdays issue ,0! the Patriot:

“Mr. MucLean, under whose supervision the work was carried on, states that in one small sec- tion oi the road near the Pottery Lane some cracks have appeared in the surface coat. This was probably due, he said, to an over- heated tank of asphalt, not an uncommon occurrence in paving work in any country."

So there you are- According to

. the Patriot, there is only one “slight ibreak.” due to "the upheaval of a culvert." According to Mr. McLean, "some" cracks have appeared, but these are due-not to a culvert, mark, but “to an overheated tank °f "Shlhalt." Such mutually contra- dictory statements establish only one thing, namely, that the Lea. iGovernments election highway, " opened to traffic only a few weeks ‘ago, is already in a condition call- ing for immediate repair.

But Mr. McLean advances o. fur- ther alibi for the cracks and crev- ices in the highway. This one is the cream of the lot. I-lc says:

“No roadmaking ingredients have yet been discovered that are positively frostproof."

This oracular utterance needs to be expounded in a paragraph by it- self. The piece of highway re- ferred to by The Guardian, in which there are several gaping crevices, several inches wide and several feet long, was built and completed this summer. The severe “frost" of a. Prince Edward Island summer seems to have acted with astonishing quickness on the road- inaking ingredients employed! ityhile admittedly not “positively frostproof" it was surely expected by the Lea Government that the stuff would stick together until af- ter the election.

We shall leave it to our readers ‘to imagine just what will happen to the ‘ingredients’ when they come in contact with a. real Prince Edward Island winter!

And it is on this policy of reck- jless extravagance, of shoddy high- ‘wny work, built at a cost of many ,thousnnds of dollars a mile and lfalliiig to pieces in midsummer be- vforc it is a month old. that the Lea Government is appealing for re-

Around the world in nlue day! ll a record achievement of two darinS aviators Gatty and Post. What they saw en route and what they 5°‘ compllshed by their flight and how much it cost is not recorded. Many were interested no doubt in findlnl out whether they could do the trick or not and Dossibly some would have been disappointed if the ad- venture had. failed. The question stii‘. remains however, what good was accomplished by the feat. and how many will take advantage o! the achievement and s0 ﬁnd 41° likewise.

It was the plight of Germany that brought about the Hoover FY0905!“- not ‘the plight of Great Britain. which is the chief American debtor nation. Germany's trouble has been brought about largely by reparations and other conditions imposed by the Versailles ‘Treaty, matters with which the United States was sup- posed to have no concern. Now the full force of American diplomacy is turned upon another European nation, France, to induce her to grant p, moratorium to Germany. This is intervention of a kind that perhaps even Woodrow WAIFDII would never have ventured upon. Herbert Hoover ventures upon it now because he sees no other way of safety.

One of the victims in last war. tragedy the airplane accident at Hamilton, Ontario, says the M811

superintendent of the Oahu-dim Press. who had his office in this building. The members of The Mall and Empire staff were startled by this sudden taking of‘! ofvone vlho a. few hours since worked beside them. In spite of this u few minutes after news of the tragedy reached this office two of our reporters flew to Hamilton on voluntary service to secure photographs of the scene and the wreck. This is the spirit. Every- thing, anything is in the day's work. We must carry on. The paper must be got out to catch the early-morn- ing mails and trucks. 111a conquest of the air must be completed. The human race cannot halt. in its pro- gress. If there seems to be any sug- gestion OITIETGIIESS in this code it may be recalled that the Merciful one once said: "Let the dead bury their dead.“

The rights of pedestrians on the highways are gradpally being es- tablished. A pedestrian in Ontario was run over and injured by a truck driver who saw the man and might have averted the accident had he stopped. Instead of this he blew his horn, claiming that he had the right of way and that it was up to the pedestrian to take care of him- self. The court however took a dif- ferent view of it and assased the damages to the pedestrian at. $1,000 This amount however was reduced to $500 by the court of appeal when it. was discovered that the injuries sustained by the pedestrian were not as serious as at ﬁrst supposed. ‘The court held that the truckmans dutywas not only to sound his horn but to take every step possible to avoid injuring the respondent whom he saw in front of’ him; and his stupidity in restricting his activity to merely sounding his horn must involve the appellant in responsi- bility for the damage done to the respondent."

1t is important, says an xchange, that the Government should very carefully guard against the contin- ued exploitation of unemployment relief by those who speak for and claim to direct the policies of union labor. The men who are most ur- gently in need of this relief have only one concern, namely, that of securing a means of livelihood. They are not interested in the mainten- ance of artiﬁcial regulations in re- gard either to wage levels, hours of employment or standards of living. The moment when union labor be- gins to dictate terms under which unemployment relief is to be grant- ed, at that moment any measure of relief prescribed by the Govern- ment bccomes of limited beneﬁt, its scope is restricted, and large num- bers of unemployed. together with their dependents-victims of a world wide depression for which ‘they are not responsible-are de- lprived of a share of the beneﬁts which the use of the taxpayers‘ money is intended to afford.

(mi-onto Mail and moire) The smashing defeat of the Reci-

States in i911 showed that Canada was increasingly minded to stand on her own feet and that she was more than ever resolved not to be- come a. commercial lady-Inc'- °1 ‘he neighboring republic, as President Taft expressed it. When the World war came the Dominion threw the whole force of her ﬁnancial strength and man-power into the fight for civilization three years in ﬂdllﬂnce of the American Republic: thuB once more demonstrating an inde- pendent national COIBCIOIISIIES; and a ﬁrm loyalty to throne and Em- pire. In spite of all these remarkable and reassuring development-B. 15W years have brought new influences which may well be described as de- nationalizing in the sense that they tend to draw this country more and more under the sway 0f "-5 Brent and dominating neighbor. Under a timid Liberal Government our trade relations with the United States proved more and more unfav- orable to Canada. The effect was to drain oﬂ our raw materials, in return for which we took manufac- tured American artlcles. Fior year after year we have paid over to the United States the greater propor- tion of the proﬁts from our trade with Great Britain.

The whole country has been ﬂood- ed with cheap American magazines laden with American advertising and preaching American ideals. From coast to coast. American pic- ture shows have drilled American propaganda into the minds of old and young. Lastly, the development of broadcasting has opened the in- nermost. chambers of our homes to a. continuous outpouring of United States advertising and entertain- merits.

Up to the present time we have stood up manfully against these in- ﬁuences. We have not surrendered to the foreign spell. We are still Canadians and still Brltish- We still prefer our own monarchlcal-demo- cratic form of government. Under the British flag we still enjoy a much better legal and judicial sys- tem than do the people south of the international border. We are comparatively free from crime. But, in our opinion, Canada. is growing strong enough to assert itself in the sense of minimizing still more firm- ly the denationalizlng inﬂuences which are constantly at work among our people. That is one reason why we have approved the present Prime Minister's action in putting up the tariff in defence of Canadian work- ers and Canadian agriculture, and why we also approve of his action in. placing a. duty upon such Am- erican magazlnes as should not be circulated in this country.

We feel, moreover, that when Mr. Bennett comes to deal with the control of radio services he win bear in mind the need of delivering the country as far as possible from a United States monopoly of the air. This marvelous and all pervad- ing means of communication should not be permitted to fall into the hands of outsiders who would mould national opinion to their own way u! thinking. The radio, like the tariff, can be made a powerful 1n. strument of nationhood, and we re. 1y upon the present Ottawa admin- istratlon to see tha it becomes such. '

ULCER OF STOMACH MEDICAL TREATMENT USUALLY SUFFICIENI.‘

Perhaps you wonder why one of your acquaintances who has been suffering with ulcer of stomach or ulcer of first part of small intes- tine has been compelled to undergo a surgical operation to obtain a cure whilst mother of your acquaintanc- es also suffering with u similar ul- cer has been able to receive treat- ment at home by his family physic- ian and has likewise obtained a cure. Both had exactly the some symptoms “pain beginning a couple hours after eating and relieved by baking soda. or more food."

Now an ulcer is an ulcer, and whether it is due to some nervous condition as has lately been sug- gested-keeping body and mind too tense-or to an infection from some other part of the body or r tn a family tendency to ulceriorma- tion, really doesn't matter. The whole idea is to try and heal it, and keep it healed.

Now just why some ulcers respond to diet and medical treatment whilst others will not, is not readily ex- plained, but the fact remains that if the patient and physician are pat- ient enough most stomach and in- testinal, ulcers will respond to medi- cal treatment.

The medical treatment called the Sippy method, as I have outlined before, consists of light food, and alkali powders, practically every hour of the day until bedtime.

What have been the results by this treatment?

Some hospitals report complete cures in nearly 60 per cent of the cases with improvement in another 20 per cent. This means that the other 20 per cent in order to be cur- ed must undergo a surgical opera.- tion.

Unfortunately curing the ulcer does not remove the condition that caused the ulcer, but learning how and. what to eat, and the proper al- kaline treatment to use on the first sign of any trouble, enables many of these cases to keep free of ulcer formation.

This care of themselves as learned during their stay in hospital is really effective, according to Dr. R. C. Brown, who in reporting 1244 cases states that under medical treatment “all the cases reported cured or improved have been under observation since they left the hos- pital for two and a half years or much longer."

I have quoted these ﬁgures before because they are very encouraging to individuals suﬂering from ulcer.

The Local. Newspaper

Addressing a meeting of the Re- tail Merchants Association in Win- nipeg, Mb. Wesley A. Stranger stressed the value of the local news- paper iis an advertising medium. He said in part:

"'I,‘he local newspaper is the best friendthat a. retailer can hope to have. It is the means by which he is enabled to carry his business messages right into the very heart of the homes where they will be read and listened to by every mem- ber of the household.

"The local newspaper stands by the local merchant through thick and» thin. Like the trade-paper, it works when it gets paid and when it doesn't. The merchant who does not use his local paper liberally is Paying for it just the same. He may not think so, but he is. The local paper ls the backbone of good gov- ernment. It is the most potent force in moulding public opinion, and to the credit of local editors, be it said that as a class the local newspaper is the most incorruptlble institution of the present day.

"If there is a. single retailer any- where in the country who does not. use his local newspaper liberally and intelligently he is making the greatest mistake of his business career for the- local newspaper will furnish the demand which will sell his goods.

"Using the local newspaper does not consist in running standing ad- vertisements, but it does consist in supplying the editor with the best copy that can be procured. in lib- eral quantity and a frequent change of copy. The man who does not. change his copy hurts himself and

hurts the paper. His trade wants a

new message, and the man who puts up a. new mesag inthe most at- tractive manner is the man who gets the busineess.

Since then, Three Rivers-Q St. Maurice has been continuously wmeaentled at Ottawa by Liberal members.

Several factors now enter into the situation which tend to re- store the political balance and to create the possibility of a.

Another is the en-‘g hanced prestige of the Conservatives. i since the return of the Bennett Government. Still another is the

growing strength of the Quebec Opposition under the vigorous leadership of Camillien I-Ioudc.

Politics in Quebec just now are in a. state of flux, and it would b.- dlfficult to predict how any of its constituencies might vote either in a‘ Provincial or a Federal election.
