MARITIME UNION FALLACY

Bir John Airzl, President oi the ‘Janadian Bank of Commerce and.’ chairman of the Dominion Radio‘ Commission, in an int-erview at l-lali- ; lax the other day, volunteered the, Iuggsstion that the provinces of; Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and? Prince Edward Island. and possibly! Newfoundland, should unite into af Jingle Maritime Province. Feeling: in Central Canada, he said. was de- veloping in favor of such a union, which, it is believed, “would lend‘ the east greater power as a unit inf dealing with any national questionfl and tend n» facilitate industrial co- l operation and the quantity output required for the building up of man- g ufacturing.” It would be a wise course for the Maritimes to pursue, he argued, “both in respect to their industrial grdivth and the exercise of their administrative potvers.”

In no sense of the word can Sir John Aird be called ‘a Maritimer. Born in Quebec, educated in Ong tarlo, and living for several years in 1 Western Canada, he has doubtlessi acquired a great dcal of first handi knowledge about the Dominion, but; his study of the Maritime Provinces i has evidently been academic rather than practical. To one accustomed to the "great open spaces" of the l. West, it might seem the obvious course for the three smaller prov- inces by the Atlantic to unite into one _which even then would scarcely approximate in sine any of the prairie Provinces. But other factors than size must be reckoned with.

One does not require to go very far back into history to detect the fal- lacy underlying the specious argu- ments advanced from time to time in favor of Maritime union. Some sixty years ago, the Maritime Pro-' vinces were induced to enter into union with the rest of British North America. as a confcderated Dominion. and the promised advantages to these Provinces were safeguarded by . an Imperial statute. The union worked out to the great benefit of the ever increasing majority in Cen- tral Canada and. the then undevel- oped West, but left the Maritime Provinces in an increasingly worse condition, industrially, populously ind influentlaliy, than before Con- federation. Sixty years of_ unremit- ting effort by the minority in the Maritimes to secure the fulfillment or the promises which had induced them w throw in their lot with the larger Provinces have passed, and many of the terms of union are still unfulfilled.

Prince Edward Island, the smallest bf the Maritime Provinces and the one which has suflered most by Con- Iederatlon, is not likely again to risk fta existence in an alliance with ma-

i an item of significance in the fore-

Jorities. To be reduced from the position of a. practically autonomous Province to that of a County in what would still be the smallest Province o! Canada would be an intolerable Iituation. Nor do we believe that our sister Provinces an seriously considering the matter. However appealing the proposition may be i0 outsiders or to Nova Scotia, the suggestion of Maritime union has few. ii any, authoritative champions In the other Provinces concerned.

Low prices for farm product; when; these are grown on the colossal scale that now prevails in the States and in Canada as well, lessens very greatly the purchasing power of the agricultural population of both coun- tries and has an important bearing upon manufacturing industry. ‘This is being offset by the rapid growth oi population in cities and towns in which foodstuffs arc not grown.

A FAIR. EXCHANGE

Canadians have particular reason this year for hoping that tourist

expenditures in thLs country will be maintained. Canada has had for

some years to settle an adverse bai- ance in its trade with the United States, but it has had the advantage ofa balance in its favor in its ex- ternal trade as a whole. This year there has been a change in the trade situation, Hon. R. B. Bennett pointed out in the‘ House of Commons the other day. "ln January," said the Conservative leader, "we imported $28,171,000 worth more of goods than we sold. In February we bought $33,135,000 worth more than we sold. in March we bought $503399“! 111°" than we sold and in April $44,508,000. In the four months there was an ad- verse trade balance oi $l5d,000,000."

The Ottawa Journal has heard a rumor from Parliament Hill that Premier King still intends to ap- point a. Minister of Fisheries. The Journal objects, and says Canada already has enough Cabinet Minis- ters. This ls true, but‘ every Pro- vince should have at least one oi the number. To that. principle the Prime Minister is committed. It is not at all necusary to increase the total number. The more populous provinces have each four or five oi them. .

Automobiles collide. with each other on the SiSlNNEI-Q and highways in larger numbers than ever, also with street cars and railway trains. The airplanes crash together betimes in "the central blue," and the other day out in Ohio an airplane and a motor car encountered each other and both came to grief.

Premier Gardiner of Saskatche- wan says he won't resign until the Legislature meets, and also that it cannot be called together until after August 12, k the members will not all be elected until that date. He seems w be within nu constitutional right in holding on, and so he holds, in the face oi an impatient Opposi- tion of superior numbers.

CURING ASTHMA You will remember that it is but

a short time ago since asthma was

simply taken for granted. '

The patient and family were told that although the symptom were severe no one ever died of asthma. and there was nothing to do but put up with it.

Doses of amyl nitrite, a few drops on a handkerchief. later, doses oi adrenalin by injection into skin or by mouth were given during attacks; but that ended the matter.

Now asthma is divided into two classes, those caused by protein sub- stances ln the air or food, and those that follow attacks oi bronchitis.

In those due to protein substanc- es-animal fur, meet, eggs, pollen oi plants, the physician makes skin tests oi these substgnces until he finds the right one.

Sometimes a local condition of the nose is the “trlgger" that starts oi! the asthmatic attack.

A report of 120 cases treated by the X-ray is reported from England.

A good result was obtained in 89 cases, sbme results in 1'7, and none» in l5.

A noticeable result in quite a num- ber oi patients was a definite in- crease in weight. Patients stated that they felt considerably better in general health and were mentally brighter. ‘

Several patients who had been treated for nasal. catarrh unsuccess- fully, stated that this had disappear-

The Story Of The “Ezaglet "

Condensed from the Mentor-Norman de Leaaepe

in the last hour a great stone eagle surrendering to the roaring storm, m1 from the cornice oi Schonbrunn pai- ace. The startled Austrian sentry in the dark courtyard below looked up at the lighted windows above and knew that another eagle had fled its cage. L-‘Aiglon, son of Napoleon was dead. Dead at 21. And who knows that, for the peace of Europe, it was not best?

He was buried by the Hapsburgs, his jaiiera. Upon his paliid face his triumphant enemy, Meternich, Chan- cellor og Austria, and chief schemer of the Holy Roman Empire, gavea last look-and smiled. The wasted body of the boy who was born to command Napoleon's regiments was ludrlciously wrapped in the cloak of an Austrian colonel far to large for

This boy was born in the palace of the 'l‘uileries in Paris on March 20. 181i. to Napoleon and the Archduch- oss Maria Louisa, daughter oi Franc- is, Emperor oi Austria and King of the Holy Roman Empire. ‘

"Behold," says Napoleon to his marshalis on the eve of their depart- ure for Russia, which is to be con- quered for the child to play with, “The King of Rome, who will one day command your sons!"

'l‘here is a mighty cheer at which perhaps the baby cries, as what baby woudn't. And. Maman Quiou, his nurse, takes him in her arms to the. apartments where his fcatherbrained i mother is already writing pitcous let- z Lars to lvietternich. In case Napoleon . fails—i;i case-would her father be kind to her—and her son? but above all to her’!

Napoleon leads his Grand Army to,

ed’ with the attacks of asthma after the X-ray treatments.

The doses are given once or twice a week. according to the severity of the attacks, until four or six are‘ given.

Now this means only six or eight weeks of treatment and the above results speak for themselves. It is certainly worth the effort.

The whole point then is that while adrenalin is the most effective treat- ment during the attack, that suffer- ers from asthma should not be satis- fied with this, but keep after the cause untilits is found.

And as you know it ls now found in the majority oi cases.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

Q. What are the chief character- istics of Prince Edward Island?

A. Among the chief characteristics? is the agricultural character, being‘ the most intensely cultivated prov- ince in the Dominion and producing a high average yield of grain and root crops. The potato crop is an im- portant and valuable one, especially in seed potatoes, which are shipped to many other states and countries. Fox farming has grown to largo dime“. eion in recent yearn, while fisheries maintain a good yearly average. The Island is moreover, attracting tourists as the Garden oi the Gulf, altogether Canada’: smallest. but ricbeat prov- ince. ll enfoying marked prolperity.

"Now" says Mettemich, “for the headstrong child."

In Vieena, L'Aiglon is presented to Francis his grandfather.

‘I do not like him" storms the boy. "he has an ugly face."

But his royal tantrums no longer concern Maria Louisa. She hands the child over to Metiemlchqnd lakes herself off to ltay where she’ has been given the Duchy of Parma. With her gone, says Metternich, the reduction oi this child will be easier. A professional assain would have solved the problem a century back. But now the way must be longer.

0f course the child never hears that. "Bee," he is told, "your father has forgotten you. There is nothing from him." Austrian tutors insidu- oully teach him that his father was a criminal, that his cruelties have brought him to a cell. The boy pro- tmts, but he ls young and quickly "TIGH-
