How King "Helped" The Fdrmers

Among the alleged advantages of ithe Reci- procity Treaty enumerated; few days ago by our contemporary, we note the significant omis- sion of any reference to farm imple ‘ nts, The fact is, of course-gas our farmers iknow to their cost-that farm implement prices have been increased-this year under the MACKENZIE

KING Government, notwithstanding the sweep-

ing tariff concessions made in the Washington pact. The situation is well summed p in _the following statement made in the Hous of Com- mons this week by Mr. E. E. PERI-BY, member for Qu’Appelle: . "The reduction of duty on implerpe ~ ' from twenty-five per cent to 12y; _When ‘ first “the news came out, it was . ‘as a great accomplishment on the part - present Government. The farmers réce -. very kindly because they expected to get ‘i implements cheaper to the extent of? at twelve per cent of duty. But when the pri ,

’ tame out on February 1 and they found there was an increase from $2 to about $49 per im- plement, as the case might be, this was not very favourably received. Protests have been com' in. as we know; I-have them before inc, al with quotations from the western press to t i effect that the farmers have protested. We lcno, what has taken place in this house itt the ldpt’ two days, that a committee has been appointed to investigate this increase.

“The fact remains, no matter how much we h ar about free trade and about what lower tar- i fs will do, that when, on different occasions, we have had reductions in the tariff on imple- merits in Canada, every time th_is has meant an increase in price, and thattwhen we have had increases in the tariff, this has meant a reduc- tion in the price. That is something I cannot figure out, and it has not been figured out by any of the members opposite. There is a joker

' somewhere. But I would remind this House that

when the leader of the Opposition was in power and we raised the duty on agricultural imple- ments cominginto Canada, he iiradc the maim- fdcturers put their name on the dotted line that fliers would not be any increase, and if the ‘esent Prime Minister had had the courage to ‘ab to the nranufartrrrers in Canada there is no ubt that there would not have been the in- eore now that they have lowered the duty."

Internal Discord In Germany

Hrrbeifs sudden action in violating the eaties of Versailles and Locarno by re-mili- rizing the Rhineland has caused all the greater *. rrprise because in recent months he seemed to inteht upon cultivating friendly relations with Great Britain and France, and especially with Great Britain. A wireless despatch from London

is to be found in Germany’s internal trou- blcs. For sometime SCHACl-IT (the Finance Minister) and other moderates have been pres- sing the F cnhrer to resume contact with western powers, That way they saw financial and econo- mic salvation for Germany, whose attempt to create recovery and finance rearmament by con- tinuous expansion of Government credit has for- sccable limits. On the other side wasthe Nazi. party, insisting that the Fuehrer should not capitnlate to SCHACHT and restless because the

' some days ago the decision was taken to reoccu- py the Rhineland and hold a meeting of the Reichstag on March 13, by which time it was expected that the Franco-Soviet pact would h been ratified. The following day, it is said, ScuAcur protested and offered his resignation. Events abroad produced reasons for accelerat- ing action. Oil sanctions seemed to be threaten- ing against Italy, Italy was threatening to leave the League and was supposed to be backing out of Locarno, and FLANDIN, in return for support of the oil sanctions, had requested additional guarantees of security against German aggres- sion on the Rhine.

HITLER figured that English public opinion would be appcased by Germany's offer to return ‘to the League, and by its further ofler of a itwcnty-five year non-aggression compact among like western powers. As usual, the Berlin author-

_ Germany and France are grimly facing one another on the Rhine, and no one knows what next moment may bring forth, Bankers and fin- anciers in New York are, however, reassured by the calmness in London that war is not a matter of immediate concern. One of the foremost rea- sons for this peace attitude is the knowledge that only France and Great Britain have sufficient gold to finance the purchase of war materials in quantity. A paucity of gold parallels a scarcity of essential raw materials in most countries. The UnitedStates could supply munitions, but the lessons of the Great War are too recently learn- ed to permit of heavy sales to Europe on credit. Still, these deductions may be rendered entirely wrong if the human ClCIQCIIQLKgCISOIllI of hand.

In the days of the London Christian Mis- sion, the original name of the Salvation Army, a mission leader in one of the small mission sta- tions in London, wanted to draw public attention to the visit of his chief, WILLIAM B00111, the general superintendent. With more zeal than skill he printed in such huge letters the “general" that the word “superintendent" had to-be cramp- ed into letters so diminutive that few could read them. This was enough to fasten the soubriquet general on WILLIAM Boo-rn and in spite of his own objections there was no gainsaying the

BWELLING OI‘ LOWER. LIGI A8, TEST FOB INFECTION

It 1s not unusual for those whose ‘_ work keeps them on tlielr feet, par- ticularly standing as with motor- men or sales men or women to 11nd that there is some swelling‘ of the anklm and lower legs when they get home 1n the evening.

Now when the feet or ankles swell and the lndlvldual has not been on his feet. much, the question of whether the heart 1s beginning to fall. or the kidneys are not Bet. ting rld of water properly, unay arise.

The first point. to remember ls that ln normal lndlvlduals 1f they will measure their calves and ankles lust before. or immediately on, arls- ing from bed, and then measure them a few minutes later they will nrul that they have enlarged 1n just that few minutes. In other words it 1s‘ only natural for more blood and perhaps a little extra fluid to be tn the lower legs and ankles when, the individual Ls on hls fen.

However just; as this enlargement or increase 1n slzie occurs when on the feet, so this enlargemnt should disappear after the ‘ludlvldual has been lying down for s. while.

This increase 1n elm of lower legs after standing and decrease after lying down has been used by Dr. A. Krlstienaon, Stockholm, who believes that the extent of the swelling and the length of time 1t, takes for the legs to decrease to their normal size after lying down may tell whether any damage has been done or ls being clone to the heart and circulation by infection. And the amount of the swelling and the length of tine 1t takes to pass away tells just how severe 1s the infec- tlon.

Dr. Krlsbenson records his exper- iences with normal persons, than on patients with mild infections. and finally on patients with infect- ed patnful tonsils. .

In healthy pflSOHB fifteen mlu- utes of standing increased the vol- ume of the leg by one-half per cent up to two and one-half percent. Thus an ankle or calf of ordinary size might. swell up as much as a quarter of an inch or more after fifteen minutes’ standlnx and should disappear after lyl-UB 517W" within thirty minutes.

With those with infection of the upper air pa-ssaies. particularly the tonsils, the test was different; either the increase ln size was greater than in normal persons or 1t did not disappear 1n the nflrmfll time after lying down.

Remember, the legs swell to some extent on standing 1n normal healthy individuals.
