THE LIBERAL APPEAL

‘The electors during the past few lays have been given some indica- tion; in unguarded statements of Liberal candidates, as to what the eo-called “balanced budget" pledge of the Opposition amounts to.

According to Mr. B. W. LePage at the" New Glasgow ‘lng, it

This portfolio was provid- ed for by the late Liberal Govern- ' ment as an election gesture, it hav- ing been one of the major recom- mendations of the commission which they appointed under the chairman- ship of Dr. Cyrus Macmillan, that the important departments oi’ Health and Education should be under the supervision of p. compet- ent Minister. The Conservatives. who have always been the friends .01 health and education in this ~ Province, indorsed the Macmillan report and implemented this recom- mendation on assuming office. They have received, from the Liberal Op- position, nothing but abuse. But the Red Cross Society, the Women's Institutes and kindred or- ganizations have been assisted ma- terially in their work, and the idea of abolishing this portfolio, so ably administered during the oust iour years by Premier MaicMillan, will certainly not meet with their in- dorsatlon.

However, “needs must when the devil drives." Among the thirty Liberal candidates now seeking sup- port, there la not a single one qual- ified to fill the Health portfolio.

The great number of uses re- search physi ’ are now finding for that simple substance lime or calcium is a matter of surprise to themselves and to physicians gen- erally.

That lime helped to form bones thus giving the body its strong rigid foundation has, course, been known for a long time.

That it helped to form the teeth has likewise been known for a long time but that the taking of lime in foods or otherwise would actually Prevent the decay of the teeth is only a recent discovery.

Another discovery was that “rickits" that gave children the bow legs and other bony deformities was due to lack. of lime and sunshine, and lime is now used in the pre- vention of rickits.

However lately it has been found that lime does a great deal more than form solid bone and teeth; that

Thus digestion is promoted and ulcer of the stomach and of the small intestine prevented by the use of sufficient limp in the body. Lime has been used for a num- ber of years now in the treatment of “bleeding” as it helps the blood to thicken or coagulate. And in St. Michael's Hospital, 'l‘oronto, some years ago, Dr. M. H. Cameron dis- covered that a number of cases of "free bleede n" who were given lime to coagulate the blood found that their old varicose ulcers of the leg had been completely healed by the lime. Iiime is now used regularly in varicose ulcers.

Lime prevents nervous spasm and skin irritations.

Lime is now used as a heart tonic. has been found to ease the pain in the advanced type of cancer, has a healing influence on tuberculosis, and reduces enlarged glands.

Liberal Claims ‘Alibi

SOME LIBERAL HISTORY

Letus go back to the election of 1927. The first plank in the Liberal platform read as follows: “At the Inter- provincial Conference to be assembled this fall we will, if returned to power, in the ensuing election, exert our utmost endeavours in pressing our claims for increased subsidy for our Province, On obtaining“ increased subsidy u downward revision of taxation.”

The Liberal Government was returned and in Novem- her, 1927, Premier Saunders, at the Dominion Provincial Conference at Ottawa, presented subsidy claims for an unspecified amount. The Premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta said they would have no objection to the Island receiving an additional $100,000 per year.

Nothing to our advantage resulted from this Confer- ence. Months passed. On Dec. 17, 1928, Mr. Saunders wrote to Premier Mackenzie King, giving a lengthy state- nlent of the Provincefs “sad and distressing” financial circumstances, He asked humbly “if you felt you could find time to meet rne and discuss these matters and if you will be good enough to mention an approximate date.”

Premier Mackenzie King replied on Jan. 26, 1929, by ridiculing the length of the letter (“I am sure this com- munication was never written in a single dayl”) “Your time and mine”, he concluded, “might as well be spared” so far as discussing the matter personally was concerned.

On Sept. 26, 1929, Mr. Saunders wrote to Finance Minister Robb, urging that “NOW IS THE OPPORTUNE TIME TO HAVE THE MATTER ADJUSTED” and asking for an appointment with Mr. Robb and the Prime Minister. Robb replied that the Prime Minister would be out of Ottawa “all during tile month of November", and that he himself would be too busy to discuss tile matter. ‘This, however, should not prevent your officers submitting statements to tile departmental oiflicers.”

“RIGID NON-COOPERATION”

On October 7, 1929, Mr. Saunders wrote again to Mr. Robb, complaining of a. statement made in the House of Commons by the Prime Minister, to the effect that the Maritimes had not been pressing their claims. He reminded Mr. Robb of his suggestion, “last spring, that this Province should COME ALONE, rather than in conjunc- tion with the other Maritime.
