COSTLY NEGLECT

' The inexcusable fnilure 0f the Len Government to reduce its huge overdraft by issuing bonds on a favorable market “'05 Yﬂl-‘rred 5° tn yesterday's Guardian. It hBS been calculated that the loss oc- czisioned by Mr. Ma's luck of in- ltizliive in this coilnection ran into nearly half a million dollars! This fact is evident from the fol- lowing According to the bifli‘ of other ilroviucial bond is- sues floated in June, i931, when the Lea Government was in offiCe.

WHY SUPPRESSED?

‘Emphasizing editorially the im-\ portunce of the monthly business‘ reviews issued by Canadian banks.

“These monthly letters by the banks are, of course. free from any political bias. They are the ran-partisan and accurate busi- ness like statements of executives.

"If they were made by strong politicians then it might be said that they were merely political propaganda.

"Consequently our people as a

puuutied (lunrterly would amount, a‘. llli‘ luzitilriiy of‘ the issue, to‘ $-1‘_’Fv.“i7.50.

Therefore by not floating the lnzul lust Jilne to meet necessary pziyiueilis on the overdraft, the Lea Giuvrllilliillt inst lo the province $420.48750 dilriiig the life of the bond issue.

THEN AN!) NOW

An argument recently advanced t b7." .\li'. A. E. Maclleait. M.P., against l lllf‘ Bennett Government's tariff polziyv ivas to the cffcct that it had injurcrl our potato trade with Cuba. The Cillrln authorities, it was con- teslrlcrl, raised the tariff on Canad- izizl potatoes because of tariff re- f~'i‘.-.‘llllilS aizliuist Cilban sugar in Lﬂlzlzidtl.

It is curious that this point sh iulrl he raised by one who sat as a supporter of the Kiilg Govern- rlu-ut in the House of Commons in 192:1. For it was on July 6, 1025. that a. trade, agreement was signed by 'hc King administration, giving tariff preferences on sugar and oth- er products to the British West In- dies for a period of twelve years. Naturally, these preferences were to the detriment of muntries outside

the British Elnpire, including Cuba, If. therefore, there is any ground for the contention that the sugar tariff affected adversely our potato trade with Cuba, the responsibility rests whollv with the Liberal ad- ministration which was in power at the time.

That the Kinr; Government treaty did affect our produce ex- port trade with Cuba is proved by official Dominion statistics. The figures show that this trade declin- ed fz-nln eight and a half million (lrllars on fvfilrcll 3i, i926, to four and u. quarter millions on March 3i. i930. a drop of over a million (lollars a your in the. last four years of‘ Liberal rille. And this at a time when, according to Liberal cham_ pious, the sun of our trade prosper- tty was at its zenith !

Incidentally n curious inconsist- PHPS’ "my be iloterl in the attitude of Mackenzie King Liberals" toward Empire tariff preferences. In 1925 they iverc apparently in favor of differentiating in trade matters be- tivcen countries within and withailt the British Commonwealth. As shown above they sacriﬁced over four million dollars of our produce trade with Cuba by negotiating agreement with the British Kilst Indies. If such a policy was right then, by what process of logic d" "If"? nrrive at the. contention "l"! Empire preferences are now objectionable? The increased tar- iffs subsequently imposed by the United States and other foreign CllllliflﬂS have made Empire prefer- l

c "es more necessary to Canada, t1 in ever before. 1t was the reali- s" ion of this fact that inspired the

niion of Premier Bennett‘ at the diminution was not confined to any ference.

of the Bank of Montreal? A sum- mary of this letter was issued for immediate release by the Can- adian Press, and appeared in Sat- urdays Guardian. It was given prominence in newspapers from coast to coast, and rightly so, in view of its importance and auth- enticity. Here, for example, are some of the reassuring state- ments contained in the bank letter referred to: ' .

"The tonepf business sentiment has improved during recent weeks under the stimulus of a good har- vest, higher commodity prices and the agreement reached at the Im- perial Economic Conference."

made a reduction in the Prim? 9f soft coal to consumers of sevenli“ five cents a ton. This reduction. The‘ Guardian is informed, has al- ready gone into effect in the 10991 retail trade, and it is one‘ which will undoubtedly be welcomed by all classes. Commenting on the re- duction, which is effective to the same extent in Nova. Scotin. 8-" Amherst exchange says:

“The matter has been under serious consideration for some time, and was discussed pointedly at a recent conference between Sir Newton Moore. president of the corporation, general manag- er Kelley, and representatives of the Springhill Board of Trade. It was suggested at that time that while practically every oth- er commodity had undertlfm" changes in price to meet fluctu- ating economic conditions, the price of coal had remained prac- tically unchanged through a. ion! period of years and that no sat- isfactory explanation was being given the public as to why this commodity should -be so differ-- ent from all others. It. was riot regarded as remarkable that the Dominion Coal Company should be losing some of its local market, to foreign concerns when so little practical effort was being made to retain it.

"However this may be, it ls a.

are already 10,000,000 bushels more than last year, and, irrespective of market price, the more abundant crop will advantage trailsportation interests by land and water."

"There has been this year a notable growth of trade between Canada and Great Britain, a ten- dency certain to be increased when lthe Conference concessions come into play."

Surely our contemporary owes an explanation to its readers for sup- pressing such welcome news com- ing as it does from a source so authoritative and unbiased “monhly bank letter.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS

Juvenile delinquents in Canada in 193i, according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics were much fewer than innl930. There was a decrease of almost ten per cent; in cases brought before the courts. Major delinquencies decreased slightly over two per cent. but the

ments from the port of Montreal:

fact that there has been. much criticism in this province of the price the consumer has to pay for coal, and why such s. price is needed when no part of the province is very far away from a coal mine. We have seen the oost figures of some of the Cum- berland mines and while these do not; indicate any great profit on the part of the companies concerned, they do not explain fully the spread between the producing price and the ultimate price paid by the consumer. We have always thought it would be a very reassuring stroke of policy if.’ our coal producers could take the public more into their con- fidence in this matter of price, and explain just why it is that the outside product is able to more than compete in the home market. We have suggested that it ought u: be possible for man- agers of local coal corporations to get: together and issue a state- ment to meet criticisms and to lay a. solider ground for confid- ence, but up to the present, so far as we know, no such con- ference has ever been held."

The article concludes with the suggestion that it should now be possible "to make an appeal to consumers to consider the home product and all that this means in the way of increased business and employment, before listening to the seductive appeal for the foreign commodity."

There has been criticism also in this Province as to the policy of

minor cases fell off almost twenty per cent. This, it is noted, is the! ﬁrst check of any consequence in the growth of juvenile delinquency since 1922, the date these statistics‘ were first compiled separately by, the Bureau.

It is notable that this decrease took place in Ontario and the Wes- tern provinces, with Quebec and the Maritime Provinces showingin- creases. ‘The greatest failing off was in Ontario in which province thief major cases dropped 10.8 per centﬁ and the minor, 25.4 per cent. This

one particular centre, but was dis-

the Dominion Coal Company in maintaining prices out of all pro- portion to other commodity rates. The local dealers have suffered as well as the public in this matter, and the readjustment in price should therefore be a source of sat- isfaction to all concerned.

It is sold here at one-eigh-i teenth of the price charged in Rus- sia, and is produced by underpaid laborers living under barbarous con- ditions. Ail this rate the British government should soon be able to; see the necessity of applying the dumping process.

Twenty-five years ago about two- 1 thirds of Canada's cut of pulpwoodl was exported to the "United sums‘ in rsw and manufactured form,‘ most of it being rough or unbarked. ' Today, the proportion of wood ex- ported is less than one-quarter of the total cut of which 80 per cent, is peeled, barked or tossed before being exported. Inthe addition of value to raw materials by further manufacture or net value, and also gross value of production, the pulp and paper industry is the most im- portant manufacturing industry in Canada. It also heads the lists in wage and salary distribution. It comes second in capital investment and total number of employees. Canada now manufactures over 35 per cent. of the world's supply of newsprint paper, exceeding in 1930 ‘the production of the United ﬂtates, nearest competitor, by over 1,200,000 tons.

Between 1923 and 1930, the Liber- , a1 party. then in power at Ottawm,‘ added nearly $500,000,000 to the,’ commitments of the C.N.R., so that; when the present administration, came into office it: had to put up about $100,000,000 per annum to keep the railway going. The Min. ister and the country were thus confronted with a. terribly grave situation. This problem, indeed, was the mostdifficult one with which the new administration had to deal. Here was a railway which had in- volved the country in cash expcn- dltures and guarantees amounting to about $2,500,000,000 thus more than doubling the national debt, or rather creating a. second national debt of that. size .This situation would not have been nearly as bad as it was had not the Mackenzie King Government allowed and even ellcllllfaiﬂd the management to P0111‘ out hundreds of millions ‘of dollars from coast to coast with a view to inﬂuencing scores of elm. stituencles in successive general elections.

Bu lame: W. Barton. M-D~ WHAT YOUR HEART CAN D0

'wii;ih every beat of the heart about 3 or 4 ounces of blood is pumped out, which would make the

| total output of the heart about ‘f

quarts a minute. .

Dr. A. V. l-lill reports the case of n runner which he studied, where the blood fllow must have been 35 quarts a. minute, or five times as much as when he was at rest. In- stead of 3 or 4 ounces bclnE Pllmflﬁd with each beat there must have been 6 or 7 ounces.

These figures teach us that the heart is capable of a tremendous amount of work if it is in a heal- thy or normal condition.

The heart rate of the trained ath- lete may, during his best effort, reach three times the average nor- mal rate.

When you work or take exercise the heart not only pumps the blood faster but actually pumps more with each beat than when you are at rest.

If you work regularly or take ex- ercise regularly for a certain per- lod you will find at the end of the period, six weeks or six nlonths as the case may -be, that YOU!‘ 11611111 beats a few strokes less per minute when you are at rest than it did before you undertook the exer- cise, and does not beat as many times to ‘the initiate with extreme exercise.

Thus with a heart 7G at restand beating 160 with extreme exercise. you will find that after a “training period‘ of a. few months the heart will beat 70 to '72 at rest, and only about 132 with extreme exercise.

The heart beats away without any thought or action on your part. It is like breathing. However if you are willulg to take a little ex- ercise dal!y you can actually train your heart to do better work for you. "

It has been my privilege for a number of years to examine most of the outstanding boxers-Demp- sey, Carpentier, Walker, Greb, Dun- dee, and others, and lately the outstanding wrestlers-leads, Son- nenberg, Londos, Dc Glanc, Steele. George, and others.

What do we ﬁnd?

All these lncn have normal or "slow" hearts ranging from '12 down to 60 beats a minute.

What docs this increased hegrt power mean to you? b

Your doctor will tell you that in any severe iiliiess-laneumonia, ap- pendicitis, typhoid fever-lt is on the heart, the strength of the heart in the majority of cases that your life depends.

A little morning exercise-three or ‘four minutes of bending exer- cises with knees straight-and a ten minute ivalk daily, will not only make you feel better all round physically, but maybe the means of saving your life sh;-u‘d 13111655 overtake you.

And this is one of the reasons for assailing the popular and conveni- ent truck or bus. There are no figures published as to the amount of funds contributed by railways to- wards the building and up-keep of our highways. The reason is evid- ent. our Public Works Department do not receive a dollar contribution from this source. But it is herald- ed and trumpeted in Legislature and press that the entire cost of Highways improvement, including capital, interest and sinking funds is levied upon and paid by the au- to-motor traffic.

As to convenience the motor truck is indispensible. It is even more. It is a railway feeder. The merchant ships quantities of goods to, say Hunter River. for delivery. to Rustico, New Glasgow and. other places on the north side. These deliveries are made by trucks, re- turning with loads of produce sup- plying freight and passengers- a material help to the railway. There are many similar illustrations that might be used to show that the truck and bus patronage much more than compensates for ‘ the competition it gives.

Employment is referred to, but here too the motor can give the most effective answer. In propor- tion to its traffic capacity, the truck or bus gives a greater average of employment than any railway in Canada. Its pay list includes not only the owner or operator, but. also the car builder, the founder, paint- er, electrician and repair men in numerous departments, with oil and gas and tire services all along the line. And it and its agents and workmen is the largest bulkageof taxpayers on the continent.

The railway takes one central course through tho Province or stat/e. The truck supplies vast un- rnilroaded areas where the people would suffer inconvenience and privation but for this invaluable ac- commodation. It goes where rail- t
