furulshes a striking example of what can be done by co-operaiive eflort. Our dealers, bankers and parlia- mentary representatives were un- animous in recognizing the problem which confronts the farmers in com- petitive marketing of their potato stock and were equally in agree- ment as to the best means to be adopted to meet this problem. Apart from the material assistance which should accrue to our farmers from the policy formulated at the meet- ing, there is further encouragement in the great interest which all sec- tions cf the community take in the business of the farm at the present Limo. The prosperity of the Pro- vince is bound up with the success or failure of its agricultural enter- prise, The price which can be main- tained for Prince Edward Island pc- tatoes means n0 less to our business communities than to the farmers themselves. As stated in these col- umns yesterday, there are splendid prospects for cur potato growers this year provided the markets can be properly fed, and it is to this and that concerted effort will now be di- rected. The plans formulated in- elude cal-operation of the banks and jhlppefs, provision for storage, and the appointment of a committee to

ertles, which were being prepared for production in 1932, are among the contributors to the output for the current year; the high price received for the metal has made possible the serious consideration for development of deposits that would otherwise be given little attention. In addition, any improvement in base metal prices will be reflected in an increased output of gold ob- tained so a by-product of such operations.

Conditions under which the base metal industry operated during the year were the antithesis of those existing in the gold induetryn Yet. against such discouraging condi- tions, and in the face of a prohibi- tive copper tariff enacted by our biggest customer, many notable achievements ‘could be recorded. This country in the last decade, says the Department has advanced from a pwition of distinctly minor importance to a point where it may be seriously suggested that no other country ls more vitally interested in the con- ditions surrouncllrlg international trade in base metals.

keep our farmers posted from time to time on marketing conditions. These are practical measures which cannot fall to meet with approval, and which may indeed mark a. red otter day in the history of our agri- cultural industry.

FOR THANKSGIVING

‘fhanksglvlng Day this year has been set by Order 1n Council for Monday, Oct. 9. The occasion is op- portune for recalling the enviable position which Canada occupies despite world economic difllculves. Lord Macmillan, chairman of the Canadian Banking Commission, is reported to have expressed amaze- ment at encountering pessimism in this ‘country. He is quoted as stat- ing that other countries, including Great Britain and the ‘United States, regard the Dominion with admira- rtlon and envy because of the real- ly magnificent manner in which it lhss weathered four years of de- pnession-the most, severe economic etorm in all history.

This notable achievement has been attributed to the character of the Canadian people; to the re- lmarkablc stability of our banking system and to the effective man- ner in which the Ottawa Govern- ment has conducted the nation's af- fairs 1n the presence of devastating Influences outside. The country hes by no means escaped the onslaught of the depression, but it certainly has escaped the full ef- fects of that depression a4 seen ln the United States and other count- rles.

Already under intelligent leader-l ship from Ottawa our export and import trade, especially our lnira-l Empre trade, is increasing more rapidly than the trade of other na- tions. And this improvement rep- resents only the beginning of what is to bc--cr at least of what can be if we benefit as we should by

from

the markets of the United Kingdom and other parts of the Empire. It is up to Canadians at s. time of world-wide misfortune to realize their own comparative good for. tune, to be thankful for that com- putative good fortune, and to mul- llply their efforts to take advantage

amounts in normal years to some 300,000 tons. Canadian producers must then be prepared to meet competition, sharp or otherwise de- lpending on world economic condi- tions, from other base metal export- ing countries. In this connection it 1s of int/crest to note that James Y. Murdoch, President of the Noranda Mines Limited, is authority for a statement to the effect that the mflb!‘ part of Canada's production of copper can be made at a cost of 5 0611f»! less—whlch mean! that no other copper export- ing country can urldersell the Can- adian producer and continue to Operate at a profit. Canada is equal. ly as well situated 1n fe5pegt to lead and zinc.

Canada's non-metallic industry is 18-18617 f!!! from the worries of trade barriws. The outlook, then, is much less involved than that of the base metals, and is dependent mainly on the vicissitudes of the industry. one of the ln-lghmt features bearing on the outlook is the increased tendency toward a Eiistcr use of Canadian products 1n the domestic markets.

Near the close of the fiscal year determined measures were being taken by In lending nations of the world to deal an effective blow to the industrial stagnation of recent yeeln. Canada's mining enterpris- es, industrialized as they are to a hill! 498W“. are in s Itrategic poo-

EDI TORI A L NOTES

Few intelligent oitieens of van- couver willread, without blushing. the imne statement in the Ven- couver Bun (Liberal) that their city is “materially and spiritually as advanced over Eastern Canada as Eastcrn Canada is advanced over Europe; just as Europe is advanced over Russia; just as Russia is ad- vanced over china, or China over

‘known trails. And yet all that we |have of loy and comfort, at least all of our major happiness, comes from the toil and sacrifice and pioneering of others. And if a. men has convictions, and has the cour- age to express them and to stand for them, he too, is a pioneer! But lthc path of the thinker or explorer ‘is never smooth. It is a_ continual lstrife for food, the ordinary c0m-, forts of lifc, and ‘for peace of .mind. The creator travels a path‘ ‘that is strewn with briere, and lougi before recognition and appreciation‘ arrive his hands and body bear the‘ scars. It is the way of life.

The Australian cmbroglio looms i large and with urgent impress usp-l on the European political film, and every day becomes more acute. It is no exaggeration to soy that the disarmament question, if it is ever to be resolvcd in any helpful fash- ‘on, depends very largely upon ,some satisfactory settlement being found for the Austrian crisis, and that the centre of equilibrium for the whole future of Europe les at Vienna.

The Dnmlnlon Bureau of Statis- t'cs estimates that 246.000 more: people are on the payrolls of the country than five months ago, the estimate being based on the reports of some 8,200 firms which make monthly returns. and which show that they have increased their cm- plcyee personnel by 116,000.

The premlffm and foreign minis- ters of Greece and Turkey have sig- ned a treaty qf amity which Eur- ope looks upon as the most im- portant compact 1n years for the preservation of peace in the Balk- ans and the eastern lvlcditerran- can. Ann understanding between these two countries was reached three years ago by Venizelos 1n his premiership and the Tluldsh For- efgn Minister, Tewfik Ivushdi Bey, and the necessary papers were duly s-gncd, but owing to the heat of political contests in Greece the treaty was not confirmed by the Grecian Parliament.

Trying to institute democ My under the present financial system is like plantmg some beautiful flower in barren soil and expect- ing it to flourish. First must we have the necessary conditions for success, then may we see the glor- ous unfolding of true ‘democracy. Fundamental among conditions must bs the changing of the pres- ent monstrous and inequitable fin- ancial policy of social credit thus putting an end to almost every economic evil that keeps mankind in bondage.

j _ $00M I B! lune: W Balm». "D. GOLF AND LIFE

Some years ago I wrote an article for one of the magazines entitled

I tricd to point out that only two kinds of players should indulge in golf-those who had learned to play in the same way that they would walk or swim and those who did not worry about the size of their score.

The whole point, of course, was that hurrying their business, hurry- ing their lunch, trying to lCl ember every point taught them by. the professional, walking hurriedly up little steep hills, all caused such physical and mental fatigue that more harm than good came from gulf played under such circum- stances.

Your doctor will tell you that golf, played properly, 1s an excellent game from the health standpoint. It

'means open air, sunshine, walking,

the mind off business or profession- a1 cares, the fellowship of congenial fellows.

However you read frequently of men dropping dead on the golf course, or shortly after a game, and wonder why this could happen t0 apparently healthy men.

There are little signs and symp- toms that should warn the golf play- er or one engaged in other sports. Dr. G. B. Lake, Chicago, says "It is normal for a man to be a bit out of breath after he has walked 300 or 400 yards up a rather steep grade. But the man who is breathless after 75 or 100 yards of stiff walking; who finds that the effort of playing a hard course produces a sense of discomfort or “fluttering? of the heart; or who suffers from “indig- estion” or “muscle" pains in the chest-often early signs of angina pectoris (breast pang)-after a hard game, should have a complete and searching examination by a heart specialist."

If not heart trouble 1s found then the breathlessness may be due to too much acid food, and more bananas, oranges, or other fruits should be eaten.

If heart disease is present, a “fiatter" golf course should be play- ed and fewer holes, if golf is allow- ecl at all,

Dr. Lake wisely remarks "Golf is a great name. so is living. Both re- quire concentration and relaxation. Which had you rather play if you can't play both?"

Again The War Debts

(Winnipeg Free Press)

Scptelnber 15 was the last dill’ on which European debtors to the United States could give notice, if they wished to. that they did not intend to pay the instalments due on December 15. No on:- of the debtors uttered a sound on the subject, but no one supposes for a. moment that this means they are all going to pay in full. It means precisely the opposite, according to all informed observers. The omis- sion of formal notification of de- fault in advance simply indicates that default, or the virtual default which is concealed by a "token payment" of a small sum, ls hence- forth to be takcn as a matter of CUUISO.

The passing of September 15 has, of course, been the occasion for trotting out anew the portentous figures on British and European

China p ‘essed ships comparable to those of the South American Rcpubllm, and having power to spread devastation 1n any seaport. But then is nothing to prevent the purchase of such vessels. Moreover,
