The Maritimes Ignored

The Guardian is Ln receipt of the 1030 issue o! The Empire Trek Book, annual journal of the British Na- tional Union which last year con- ducted tours for British farmers to Nlw Zcaland, Australia and Canada. The booklet is handsomely illustrat- ed Ind is of value not only for the information it contains but for the

paper, has exposed the almost unhe- iicvable bungling and mismanage-

ment that went on in the military de- partment at Washington even after the belated American ccnscrlpt bat- talions had taken the field. The lat- ter, in a refreshingly undiplcrnatic speech at a recent dinner of the Am- erican Legion in London, went furth- rr. He referred, in contrast to the achievements of the British Govem-

Empire-wide publicity which it gives

in its descriptive articles on indus- tries and attractions in the countries visited. The idea of Empire tours for British farmers was first put into ef- fect by the Union in 1925, when a number of South African agricultur- ists visited Great Britain under its auspices. In the following year a par- ty of British farmers visited South Afrb. B: i927 South African firm- ers paid a return visit to the‘ Old Country.

He said that "these dir- ty groups" adopt this unfair and dis- honest course simply in order to win votes at election time. Mr. Dawes has a reputation for speaking his mind, and as he had served with the Ameri- can army and knew what he was talk- ing about, he decided to let the world know what he thought.

MEDICINE BY HYPODIBIIIO NEEDLE

by means of a needle into the skin. deep into a muscle, or into a vein.

Now it seems easier to take medi- cine by the mouth, a method that has been used for hundreds of years.

Why do physicians prefer this newer method?

Because a drug put directly into the blood stream immediately begins its active work, whereas if given by the mouth it has to go down to the stomach, then to the small intestine, then by means of the blood it goes through the liver and all the difler- ent digestive juices work on it to such an extent that it loses at least half of its value before it reaches the blood. In fact in some individuals. with some drugs, practically all value is lost by the time it reaches the blood. Further, it takes consider- able time for it to reach the blood, and this delay is sometimes a serious matter to the patient.

Also when a drug is given by the needle the physician knows that all of it is going to be effective, where- as by mouth he has no definite

Legislatures can enact "b!" ggy laws" and set up complicated ma- chines to enforce them, newspapers and business organization; can u- Pose every manner of confidence same, friends and neighbors can be swindled out of their last dollar, and ‘still "gold bricks" find a rich market.

Agitation directly inspired from Russia may conceivably be at the root of some of the troubles. There is no reason for not believing in it—yet up till now neither the police nor the Monarchist Journalists have been able to furnish a single definite proof of its existence. While it is perfectly true that a revolution engineered by the Trades Unions would be social as much as political, and might easily tend to be Communist in character, Spain has no need to import her Communism from abroad.

Bin-As has already been said in ‘previous letters. tho unemployment in Charlottetown is far more serious than many of our citizens are aware. Something should be done to at least temporarily relieve the situa- tion. There is now facing the work- ingman ten weeks of idleness until such time as sunny nature will re- lieve them. Money was granted to this Province for unemployment and as we all know, very little of this amount has been paid to the labour- er. This federal aid grant was giv- en for the benefit of the working men, but they don't appear to have any say about how or when they are going to receive any benefit. If this aid cannot be given within the next ten weeks. the money might as well be sent back to the treasury so far as the workers are concerned, for after that period has passed the na- tural course of events will bring re- lief to the working men.

no tour in 1929, but last year two itineraries were organized, one of British, Canadian and South African farmers w Australia. and New zea- land, the other of British farmers to Canada. Thus a full cycle of Empire visits has been completed, and the results, from the Union's point of view, have been very gratifying. This year plans have been laid for bring- ing over to the Mother Country a second party representative of Can- adian, south African. Australian and New Zealand agriculture. Those par- ticipating will have an opportunity of seeing the principal features of Brit- i.sh fanning, both on its arable as well as its pastoral side, and ar- rangements are being made to hold conferences and meetings at which questions affecting Empire agricul- ture can be discussed.

There is one feature of last year's‘

“Men \vho served as I did can- not countenance such an idea as that America won the war. Pro- quently we were let down hard at home and had to turn to Britain and the allies in our emergency. We had 2,000,000 soldiers 3,000 miles from the home base, from which came little or no munitions, no hor- ses, few riflm and artillery and not a single airplane. Our food had to be supplied by Britain and France- Of every thirteen pounds of food eaten by ‘ the American soldiers, Britain and France, principally Bri- tain, supplied eight. It was then I realized the magnificent greatness of the British Government and British army. My sincere admira- tion continued to grow and it will never cease. What a marvellous ef- fort, what supreme sacrifice, and all with a smile!"

The tour, which covered a period of thirty-two days, began at Quebec, continued through the Central and Western Provinces to the Pacific Coast, and ended at the starting point without any opportunity being provided for the visitors to see the Maritime Prov- inces. Apparently thcy were not even informed of the existence of this sec- tion of the country. Every Province except Nova Scotia. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island is men- tioned in the Empire Trek Book art- lcle; and since the booklet contains no map or Canada the not result of the publicity which the Maritime Provinces received from the tour is‘ absolutely nil.

A decision of the Appellate Divis- ion oi the Supreme Court of Ontario, recently delivered, is of interest to pedestrians and motorists in every- Province. It has long been known that a pedestrian exercising due care has the right-cf-way against all ve- hicular traffic; but a clear statement was needed, with an apt illustration, to bring home to the minds of a cer- tain class of drivers that when they "honk" a pedestrian is not necessar-

Further, the stomach could not tolerate certain drugs that are ab- solutely essential to the cure of cer- thin ailments, and so the hypoder- mic needle method is really respon- sible for these cures.

The deportation of undesirable im- migrants has been a necessary feat~ ure of the Canadian immigration sys- tem for a great many years. As point- ed out by the Minister, it has affected approximately only one-half of one per cent. of the immigrants who came to Canada since the commencement of the century. While, therefore, it is not a new thing, there has been no wholesale use of the law providing for deportation nor would such use have three times a clay, he often neglects been reasonable.
