LIBERAL ARGUMENTS

The spate of misstatements in yesterday's Liberal organ, purporting to be arguments advanced at Liberal political conventions, indicates the pxtent to which the Opposition is prepared to go in campaigning for support.

Perhaps first place should oe giv- m to the following quotation: "Hon. Mr. Lea has told you, said Mr. Le- Page, that lie is going to make rev- enue and expenditure meet and he means it, it is no idle talk. We are going to be able to ikcep up the roads and institutions, pay old age pen- lions and do other things which we deem necessary, but isc are going to make revenue and expenditure meet.”

The last time Mr. LePage and his colleagues were in power was in the years which they claim t.o have been the most prosperous’ in Canada's history. "There were fewerdemands on the treasury. They had the oppor- tunity of saving; of "balancing the budget." And the net result of their efforts wils an increased debt of $1.,- 177,000.

Here is another gem, attributed this time to Mr. Peter Sinclair, at present one of the Federal Liberal candidates. He is speaking about federal unemployment contributions: "Mr. King refused to put money in- to any province without having it audited by the Dominion treasury; but Mr. Bennett has thrown it to the

- four winds."

It is scarcely necessary to remind our readers that what Mr. King re- fused to do was to give "alive cant piece” to‘ any “Tory Government,” or indeed to any province not in lino with him politically, for what he termed “these alleged nnempioy- ment purposes."

Mr. liliiclntyre, according to our contemporary, presented the follow- ing argument: “Conservatives are boosting about receiving $150,000 in- crease in subsidy from Ottawa, but that is only a. very small fraction of the increased amount of indirect taxes which Bennett has been tak- ing out of the country." He referred specifically to the sales tax.

Ono _would imagine, from this statement, that the King Govern- had collected no indirect

the Legislature, when this question was raised by Mr. Larabee, Hon. Mr. MccPhee showed that in 1928, un- der the Liberal Government, $70,- 001.11!) was collected in sales tsx, whereas in 1934 the sales tax collec- tions amounted to $01,391,000, or lino million dollars ices.

Again, in customs tax collections, there was a difference of some $218,- 000,000 more in ths Liberal period 1028-29-30 than in the three follow- ing Conservative years.

If wq were entitled to receive a proportionate return in federal sub- lidy settlement from toms and soles tax collections, as Mr. McIn- tyre contends, why was it. not forth- coming under the King Govern- mcntr

Again, Mr. McIntyre is credited with stating that "this (provincial) government had borrowed $2,650,000 since coming into power.” Mr. Is-

Jage is quoted to the some effect. Not a word said about the fact that a. “large: ipart of the government's ‘borrowings’ was to pay ofl Liberal indebted "i bank overdraft, in unpaid bills, in taking care of call loans, and in refunding a bond bor- rowing which Mr. W. M. lea, as Pro- vincial Secretary-Treasurer, made

quality is recognised by everyone with the slightest pnatension to speak on the subject.

Many other misstatements could be cited from yesterday‘: Liberal organ, but there will be ample op- portunity of dealing with them dur- ing the campaign.

THE KING'S ENGLISH

It has fallen, or it has been open, to those to whom the years of the Kings nzlgn have been adult years of their own to h-ear a. great deal of discussion about the King's Eng- lish, or English as it is best spoken and written, says the London Times. For this there have been various reasons, some peculiar to the per- iod, others older. Is all well with the King's English? The question may seem strange at a. time when English is spreading rapidly as the medium of international communi- cation; but it is partly this increas- ing use of English by foreigners

which makes those who are jealous for its purity and raciness a. little anxious. Foreigners‘ English can be entirely devoid of idiom.

At home also there are causes for anxiety. It has been truly said by a recent writer that language needs the care of-co-operating intelli- gence. Changcs in language there must be; but language no more than a violin or a. tennis racket, or a, motorcar, deserves to be mishand- led by the inzompefnnt in public. It is impossible notto notice in much that is now wiitten a neglect of sound usage. Refinement of manners has also brouzht its dis- advantages, and vague words tend to displam exacter language. Haste gives no time for a. search for the right word; an outer satisfies when the bull's eye alone would be really effective.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Hope deferred evidently does not makethe heart of Ii Duce sick.

If the Bennett Government be re- constructed as successfully as the Ramsay Macdonaid one, the elec- tion will be pretty much a walk- over for the government forces.

A thin blood or anaemia has been flmilklit to be a cause of angina. pectoris, Drs. M. Hochrein and K. Matthes.

They noted particularly the eflect of this blood upon the hem. DulBe rate and blood pressure. . They found that even after 8 per cent of the blood had been removed, the heart, the pulse and the blood’ pressure were not affected, as the body was well able to adjust itself to this loss of blood.

“Observations on patients with 118M461 ll (loss of red blood cells and haemoglobin), ordin- ary anaemia (lm of haemoglooui), and in cases of angina pectoris, show that the relations between anaemia and angina pectoris are ex- tremely slight.

That gathering in the old leg- islative building at Charlottetown must have been a very big event in its actuality. apart. from its his- toric consequences, and one can imagine the young artist, for he he'd already manifested talent, finding his way into the chamber and seeing there the biggest men in British North America.

Years later he had come back to Canada after studying in London and various European art centres and had located at Montreal. In 1082 he was askedif he would undertake the creation of an his- torical canvas depicting the Con- federation conference at Quebec. He went to Ottawa he accepted the commission he went down til Charlottetown and where the first conference had been held drew the cartoon from which the vast painting evolved.

The aictual work took a year; but that year represented mom hours of research than of actual painting. Many of the Fathers of. Confederation had died; others had changed in ‘lace and figure; the parliament house at Quebec in which the October conference had bin held was gone, destroyed by fi ; the chamber had to be men- tally rye-constructed; the old prints and primitive photographs had to be procured from all over Canada and elsewhere; the artist had to be quite certain which of the dele- gates were clean shaven, which
