phsals m the difficulties fad!!! the industries of agriculture and fish- erieainthisPr-ovinoe, andcnthe tact that the Maritime Provinces’ governments are doing everything in their power to curtail expenditures. Ho instances the much heavier ex- penditures incurred in the Western Piwvlnces, and lt is well that this dds of the question ahould be thor- oughly grasped by the political lead- era 0f Central Canada, who too fre- quently in the pant have levelled the charge of extravagance at these At- lantic provincu, where actually the per cspita expenditure on govern- ment has been considerably smaller than in any other part of Canada

‘The Premier is quite right in put- ting the case for the Maritimes, and especially for Prince Edward Island, in the sti i possible light. 1t is only by emphasizing the difficulties under which we are contending that recognition by the other provinces will be obtained of our right to fair treatment when the question of un- employment relief and other rem- edial measures affecting all Canada comes up for consideration at the conference at Ottawa on Wednes- day.

Political leaders in the Western Provinces have taken every oppor- tunity of gaining the public ear in the matter of their financial diffi- culties. The Maritimes, which cer- tainly have been much more econo- mini in the matter of government expenditures during the past few years, have had less to say publicly about their financial problems. Plain speaking on the part of Pre- mier MacMllla-n and his Maritime colleagues on the eve of an impor- tant conference of Dominion and Provincial representatives may therefore serve a useful purpose in oflsetting the altogether impractic- able suggestion, which is always be- ing revived in Ontario, that the Maritlmes would get along all right if only they scrapped their existing governmental machinery and form- ed a political merger.

OTTA WA CONFERENCE

Prince Edward Island wu have three provincial representatives- Premier MflcMillan, lion. Mr. Sharp. and Hon. Mr. MoPhee-ln attend- ance at the Dominion-Provincial Conference. This is as it should be, since “lg Conference promises to be an important one. While there are many subjects on the agenda, its principal purpose, aocordng to the Montreal Gazette. is to endeavor to ranch an agree- ment On a Dominion-wide works programme aimed to definitely as- ablt in the general upturn of pros- perity by taking thousands of un- employed ofI the drect relief lists and putting them to useful work. Calling the meeting before the ‘federal Parliament and the various provincal legislatures settlg down to accomplish the work of the an- nual sessions is opportune. It is as- jurned that the federal authorities have some concrete plan in mind for financing the contemplated works program. Otherwise, there would be no program to discuss, as the prov- inces are not in a position to assume ‘eater liablitles than already have by them been assumed. ‘This also marks the substantive result. of Canada's aeal And signat- bre to the agreelrtent reached at the World Economic Conference in jlsmdon last year that 5 per cent. gold coverage ia sufllcient for nat- ional currency.

in carrying the country through

Though every bank in the United States was closed last Spring, and though international exchange has been subject to violent fluctuat ons, the Canadian banks have been able to finance the country's foreign trade in effective manner and thus to prevent my interruption in the execution of new orders by Canadian exporters.

' SINCLAIR SACRIFICED

Commenting on the ousting from the Ontario House Liberal leader- ship of Mr. W. E. N. Sinclair, the Ottawa Journal says:

Mr. Sinclair's Liberalism was of the school of Mowst and Blake. Be- lieving in the two-party system, he had no use for opportunist alliances and intrigues, hated the compromise of principles for porary political

believed in f ble parliamentary oo-operation, never subscribed to the dictum that the sole duty of an Opposition is to oppose. Thus in the session of 1033 he pledged sup- port to the Government on all “constructive measures."

To a party under the leadership of a politician like Mr. Mitchell Hepburn, and which in its drive for office, hesitates at no alliance, such things were unforgivable. The "new style" called for extremes, for reck- leaa attam, for no show of such weak things as fair-nus or aqueam iahness in the prooem of capturing the Government. Ir. Sinclair was long ago marked for slaughter.

Mr. Bcl-eveit aaya that "it, is but an extension of the challenge of Woodrow Wilson for us to propose in this newer generation that from now on war by Governments shall be changed to peace by peoples." The phrase ls a fine one and a memorable one even if the prmes- ses by which the change shall be brought aibcut are not entirely clear.

The announcement of l-lon. Bob- ert weir, Federal Minister of Agn- culturc, that freight ratos on feed- er cattle from Ontario and other Eastern Canadian points to Mon- treal, Bt. John and Halifax, for ex- port have been cut in half means much for both Eastem and West- ern Canada. It is only as a result of sustained effort that the M.n- later has been able to secure this concession, which will ssnount to a saving of $30 a carload to any On- tario farmer shipping feder cattle to Atlantic seaports. It s clear that the concession should improve prices for ranch cattle from West- ern Canada, which are shipping to Ontario and other eastern provincm for feeding before they are sent to the Brltah market.

doubt in the minds of responsible observers that diseased tonsils should be removed. The question of removing all or part of a tonsil has been effectually decided in favor of removing the complete tonsil. Of course there are special cases where this is not advisable, as in earlly in. fancy, old age, general debllity, and oecause other ailments are also present."

In discussing the methods of re- moving tonsils Dr. MacNsughton admits that the coagulation meth- od, the X rays. and radium all have their place, but the surgical removal is best when it can be done.

Another point of interest to pat- ient and physician is whether a general anaesthetic (putting the patient of! to sleep), or a local an- aesthetic (injecting a painkiller in and around the tonsils) is best.

The .5. tages of the general an- aesthetic are:

(a) there are many people who do not wish to know anything of the operation until it is over;

1b) the possibility of pain during the operation is prevented; ,.

(C) adenoids, if present, can be removed.

The advantages of local anaes- thetic are:

la) it ls less of a nerve shock;

(b) the nausea and vomiting which usually occur with the gen- eral anaesthetic is prevented;

(c) special patients who are able to take a general "‘“ because of some physical weak-non such as heart or lung disease, may be safely omrated upon under a loc- al anaesthetic;

(d) the patiem is about sooner and may go home at least one day earlier than would have been pos- slble had he had a general anaes- thetlc.

The point then is that diseased tonsils should be removed, that sur- gery whenever possible is the beat method. and the choice of the an- aesthetic in most cases rests with the patient himself.

Forty Below

(Winnipeg Evening Tribune) “Forty below“ is cold. 1t ls, as the weather forecaster puts it, de- cidedly cold. It is extremely cold. It is, in fact, cold.

Winnipeg rarely enperimces forty below. Temperatures in the thirt- ies oorne along - ionally, in a normal winter, but 40 is abnormal. And 46 is terrible.

When the omcial temperature re- cords forty below it does not mean that over the city as a whole and the suburban districts that is the minimum tcmperatilre. By' first- class, tested and regulated thermo- meters there is frequently a varia- tion of several ,, registered in d ffemtperts of the city. Btlnethfng lUDIrcntly depends upon altitude. exposure to the wind, proximity of large furnaces and buildinp, and possbly other factors. Forty below by the ofllcial thermometer may mean anywherermmbototobe- low nero over the city as a whole.

Forty below. to the majority of city people, means only passing discomfort. They Lve in ably heated houses and flats, work in comfortably heated omoea and stores, and are exposed to the cold only for brief periods while they dosh from office to street oar, or walk a few blocks. But there is a minority. and not few in manna-a, to whom it means real dsoomfort. - "WWII. Postman, delivery men, street-car men, workers,

adopted, There is the same recourse as that of the private merchant in collecting his bills. It has met with little complaint from the brain centres of practical bualnem; it satiaflm the intelligent merchant who does not aim to enrich the grafter at the expense od’ his pa- trons; why has it ever been ignor- ed by our civic machines?

I have known in a single instance of a lump sum of 810,000 of unpaid taxes being "written off" by order of authority, with a few stro‘ of the rod ink pen. Those unoollected

accounts were as a matter of course added to the already heavy taxa- tion of honest cltlsens who had a‘- resdy paid to the last dollar th.\' full quota of tax liability tn the city. Why is this to be perpetuated? Are those not as liable to bear cl- vic responsibility as are the paying class? It was not because that ten thousand could not be collected. for it came in the category of money that could have been collect- ed-lf collection had not been wantonly neglected.

That old sayinm-"Where the old ram leads the sheep will follow." is applicable to tax defaulterl. Open up the fence for the chosen few to evade paymetrt, and the scattered ‘ ‘ soon "

to r the area of honesty into the green- er field, easylmmunlty from the tax collectors presence. Permitted. and even encouraged neglect- to those in favor, making privileged defaults, is emulated by others claiming equal rights, and lo ex- ample leads the way of many who would have been otherwise honest to swell into an unwieldy and f0!‘- midable list of deficit creating non- tax payers

Don't blame the weak-minded child who steals the jam. But rath- er place responsibility on tbs shoul- ders of the negligent guardian of the pantry who stirs the aroma of sweets into active attraction and then leaves the door 09th to the jam pot with its fatal enticements. This is what our civics are doing.
