Sir (Arthur Salter, one of the leading political economists in the world, who has held a foremost place as a high official of the League of Nations in the capacity of General Secretary to the Reparations Com- mimion, was formerly a staunch lfrec trader. To-day, as the result of this practical experience, he is s protectionist and has written a book entitled “Recovery; the Second Effort", in which he sets forth that notwithstanding philosophic prin-

Compare this now with the con- ditions of theatrical production in Shakespeare's time. rains, in his History of Iinglisb Literature, has given s vivid account of s scene such as must often have confront- ed the dramatist and actors of that, dsy. We quote:

"On a dirty site, on the banks of the Thu-mes, rose the principal theatre, the hexagonal tower, surrounded by a muddy ditch, on which was hoisted a red flag. The common people could enter as well as the rich; there were eixpenny, two- Pellnv. oven penny seats: but they could not see it without money. If it rained. and it often rain; in

Iondon, the people in the pit, butchers, mcrcers, bakers, sailors,

ciples and tendencie; no country at the present time can afford to be without tariff barriers for the pur- pose of negotiations and inter- znptional dealings one with another. Beginning with these premises, that tariffs are thus necessary for the purpose of recovery, he suggests as means to an end a set of national mmencics kept approximately stable in terms of prices and of one another by the oo-operation of Central Banks under the leadership of the Bank of Intemntional Set- tlements and of the League. m credit he empasizes the necessity for international collective control over loans to foreign governments and public authorities. On this point he makes the interesting as- sertion that with the exception of loans recommended by the League of Nations and the Central Bank, the bulk of loans Of 1928 to 1928 to public authorities in debtor coun- tries would better not have been made. In commercial policy he re- commends working for gradual equalization and mutual reduction of tariffs and a remoulding of the "most-favored ilations" principles In order to permit reglnal pacts for reorganization. In economic organi- zations he looks to a development of cartels, of economic councils, and of the public coroporaticn to gtrengthen collective leadership; and give a bass for voluntary plnnllng.

Ho insists on the nccd of devolu- itlon in Government to get rid of the many unsuitable duties which have been la'd on central govern- ments and to make the central machinery the ultimate guardian of public interest, supervising and directing satellites or provincial authorities. The prospeom of peace depend 0n strengthening the col- lective system against the alter- native system of armaments and nllianccs; and he believes this could be done with the oo-opers- tion and support of the United States, under the Kellogg Pact. Mr. Bennett realizes all this and his policy and practscs are tending

towards their realization. But the‘ smaller minds of the Liberal Op-l

position want to ignore the new conditions and tircumstsnccs, snd

apprentices, receive the steaming rain upon their heads. . . While waiting for the piece, they amuse themselves after their fashion. drink beer. crack nuts. eat fnrlt, howl, and now and then resort to their fists; they have been known to fell upon the act- or's, and turn the theatre upsi e down. M other times they w dissatisfied and went to the tav- ern to give the poet a hiding, or toss him in a blanket; they were coarse fellows, and there was no month when thecryofclubsrdid not call them omit of their shops to exercise their brawny arms. When the beer took effect, there was a great upturned barrel in the pit, s peculiar receptacle for Bcnersl use. The smell rises, and then comes tho cry, ‘Burn the juniper’. They burn some in a. plate on the stage, and the heavy smoke fills the air. . . Aibove them, on the stage, were the spectators sble to pay s shilling, the elegant people, the gentle- folk. ThQQ were shelter ’ from the rain, and if they chose to pay an extra shilling, could have a. stool. To this was reduced the prerogatives of rank and the de- vises of comfort; it often happen- ed that there were not stools efioulh: then they lie down on the ground: this was not s ifme to be dainty. They play cards, smoke. insult the pit, who give it them back agflin without stlntlng. and throws apples at them into the bargain."

such was the type of ludience which first greeted "Hamlet" and “Othello". Such was the atmosphere tin which Shake-suture lived and ‘worked-for he we; an actor and manager as well as a dramatist.

News comes from Shsuihsl that during the recent Gino-Japanese unpleasantness, the Scouts kept up their tradition of service nobly.

The proposal of Mr. Alfred l. Smith. Democratic leader in the United States. that the world war debts be scaled down and their - " postponed for I0 years,

in his own country and abroad, than any utterance by an Ameri- can public man since the Hoover moratorium went into effect last July.

In 1910 Mr. Wilson appealed for rc-election to the presidency on the ground that he had kept the United States out of the war. He was elected in November of that year, was formally installed in March, and declared war on Ger- many in April, 1917. It would not be surprising if history should re- peat itself with respect to the war debt question, which is the greatest issue which has confronted the United States since the war. Whe- ther Mr. Hoover or Mr. Roosevelt wins out next November, an inter- national conference on the war debt questio will likely be the first important event for which the incoming ministry will make pre- paration.

According In the Dominion Ani- mal Husbandman, the present low price of oats and other feeds, in contrast with the higher cost of gas and oil required in tractor op-

Cshfed despstches from English papers approving of the suggested 20-year moratorium by ex-Gover- nor "‘Al" Smith will not strengthen him as a. presidential candidate with the tail twisters in the United States.

Dally new things ere cropping up concerning the gold standard and the value of gold. One of the latest oddities in this connection is the discovery of a colmterfeit coin of 1868. It was an imitation sove- reign and was found in a parcel of old coins that had been brought from hiding to change into cash when Great Britain went off the Bold standard. Acid teats revealed this particular coin to be made of platinum. During the reign of Queen Victoria platinum was only worth about one third as much as gold. Now it is worth many times more. The old counterfeit coin had become worth more than the sove- reign it was supposed to imitstc.

and treatment. Its report hsdbqm adopted by the International-Lag. guo Against Rheumatism. ~

Rheumatism is divided into, three classes, viz: _

(sh-Rheumatic rover, (b) Mus- cuisr Rheumatism, Lumbsgo, and Sciatica. (c) Chronic Changes in The Joints, which is usually known [as Arthritis, or inflsmstion of the |loints. ' -

It is agreed that the most-com- mon sources of trouble sre mouth land teeth. throat and tonsils, sin- 'uses (caverns adjoining the nose). appendix, gall bladder, and lugs intestine.

In addition to the dsmsge in the Joint which often only shows itself a considerable time after infection begins, there are often some gen- eral symptoms of ill health pro- sent. The blood becomes thin. anaemic. as it is called. there is loss of weight, loss of appetitc, and rapid heart.

Now despite the old idestthst once rheumatism strives, nothing can be done about it, something can and must be done about it, if life is to remain worth living.

Just as with any other ailment, there must be e cause, snd the first thought is to find thst cause and if possible remove it. Some- times there may be more than one cause for the trouble and sll mus’ be found and removed. According- ly the list of causes mentioned above should be remembered as the search is made. Dr. Miles J. Breuer, Lincoln. Nab, advises that the list of causes should be kept 0n hand, and each one checked off as it receives attention or investi- gation. The removal of one or two of the causes while others are al- lowed to remain present and active will almost always result in failure to relieve the trouble.

The removal of the cause will prevent further spread of the arth- ritis dnflamation) and take th burden off the patient!» .1 ’ system. Naturally. after removinfl the cause of the trouble, the first thought is to build up the putiontb resistance.

Diet is important and should contain__p1enty of eggs, milk, fruit and Kroc/n vegetables

Getting rid of wastes is equally important, and all four organs that get rid of wastes should be kept active (a) large intestine by moans of small doses of Epsom or Rochelle salts (b) kidneys, plenty of water (c) skin. by hot bfithl. and hot packs, (d) the lungs, by fresh air and 800d ventilation.

Surrender To Crime

(San Francisco Chronicle.)

No one can criticize Colonel Lind- bergh for calling in the giwzfitcrs to help recover his baby. You or I or anyone else under the same circumstances would take any possible means. No blame to the Lindberghs. The blame and the shame fall on the People of the Uniwd States that the Lindbergh: should have to do this. The peoplc of the ‘United States have failed colonel Lindbergh and his wife, have failed every other American whose child is kidnapped. Nothinl before has happened to prove so completely how supinely the American people have delivered their country to crime and crimin- als. The local police at Hopewell. where the crime was committed, were c. dead letter from the start. The state police of New Jersey were impotent. The Federal Govern- ment is helpless. It was eccss y to summon the underworld. to beg its gangsters and racketeers for help. to promise them safety and immunity in the operation. America has alrreudered to crime.

Home yours ago, sud not so long at that, the efficiency expert and the business doctor were very prominent in many fields. There was hardly a calf-respecting under- taking that did not bsve s survey made of itself by one or the other. Now that depression has set in, ,where are they?
