How FOOD Animsimmnnrs ..\. _t... . FAU' ACCOMPLI L It is fortunate for tbe Province that we have such an able admin- ~ lstration as tlle Stewart Govemment in office in this time of Stress and llial. It has been characteristic 01 . the conservative Party in power lhat. they have accomplished things, abtajlled additional subsidies and lncrcnsed revenues without addition- nl taxation. It was a Conservative Government that obtained an ad- ditional subsidy of $l00,000 per arl- num fronl Oztawa. and another that obtained $40,000 in Hell of taxes from the rall- way. It was a Conservative Govern- ‘ ment that obtailled a minimum representation for all time of four represenatlves in the House of commons; and it was a Conserva- "y *_ tive government that got for‘ us _rj >ollt.lnuous eclnxllllnicafon with the i mainland by menus of the Cal' ; F\el'ry. In line with its predecessors, ,Q54 F the .second Stewart Goverrunent is g., 20146 after and getting concessions Z” ` ` for the benefit of the Province, the latest. being the magnificent endow- ment of a chair of Economics and Sociology and a regional library in connection with Prince of Wales College, To Dr. the Hon. W. J. P. MacMlinll, Minister of Education and Health, is primarily' due the credit. for this magnificent windfall iv ` which puts us on -a ,footing with other M."ir".ime Provinces as regards f lunicr college facilities. The doctor, , A ever since assunling office, has laken a deep and practical interest _ ln the welfare of Prince of Wales. Q and he seized the opportunity pres- , `» rnted by the rebuilding of the Col- ‘ loco so realize his ambition of nav- §- ini: it prfi'.'i9asants, fleeced under the collec- _ tive farm system of the fnllts of their labour, refused to plant and reap ther fields. In the collectives and on the Stale farms all the grain is Government property; to hold I back even a few handfuls is punish- able by death. In the Ukraine, the riellet grain belt of the Soviet Union, there is dire famine. The came condition ls reported from North Caucasus, from where the Soviet.; formerly shipped thousands , of tons of wheat annually. Through- .’ out Southem Russia there are even 1' tales of cannibalsm. unauthenticat- `. ed. it is true, but possible in view of the situation to which many -section.; of tho country have been reduced. The Express correspondent reports having _econ Russian children F eating grnss. if A better authenticated account of the situation appears ln the Jan- uary issue nf Current History, pub- / ft. llshcd by thc New York Times. In ', Af this publication it is notcd that the Q one fact of overwhelming import- ' ance in retarding the Soviet Five ._ l _` ,V I Year Plan has been the failure ot not much above the famine level." The live stock supply of the country has been decreased 50 per cent dur- irg the nve years covered by the plan. Cattle and horses number 60 per cent of the total five years ago and winter provision is available for not more than half of these. Milk animals are undernourished and a large per cent-age of them have gone dry. The food crops harvested in 1932 are 25 per cent below those of im. Heat, auger, eggs, cheese, butter and milk have virtually disappeared from the diet of the majority of peasants and the urban population is on similiarly short rations, except in the large industrial cities, where the official agencies are able to provide a somewhat better diet. These facts, culled hom the news despatcheg and admitted by the omclal soviet press, give some in-_ dication of the seriousness of the situation. They are worth consider- ing when one hears arguments advanced in favor of Communism as against the economic system pre- valllng in th’s country. -Canadian farmers have their difficulties, but the most han-assed farmer in Can- ada is evidently better off than are many thousands of workers on the land in Russia. Wllatever Com- munism has done for Soviet; in- dustry-and there are differences of opinion on this point-it ls evident that the system has failed complete- ly to solve the problems of agricul- ture. And an economic system which leaves out of account the interests of this vital lndustry is foredoomed to failure. BEATING THE AIR Surely, comments an exchange, the path of an Opposition leader in times of world depression should llc within the field of real issues. Mr. Mackenzie King, having once drawn blood upon a. trumped-up “constitutional issue," dragged the old carcass out of political storage in I recent speech at Quebec. He would have us believe that in sub- scribing to the Ottawa agreements Mr. Bennett has signed away Can- adian sovereignty and tied poor little Canada to an Imperial char- iot wheel. Could anything be more fantastic? The Opposition leader gravely mfsjudges Canada _ if he thinks that. in the depths of a world depression, when matters of national life and death are upper- most in the minds of Government and people, the electorate can be lured into a political bog, chasing a constitutional Will o' the wisp. I EDITDRIAL NOTES It is to be hoped the unanimous statements of the three Maritime Premiers will have laid, once and for all, the ghost of that long de- funct issue, Maritlme Union. Our contemporary is still en- deavorlng to make political capital out of the exploded propaganda of western cattle interests regarding an alleged trade proposal with Russia. It admits that Premier Bennett was reported by Canadian Press as sayin! that the rumor was without foundation but says The Guardian’s statement that the Amtorg Trading Company, nom- merclal representatives of the So- viet Government in New York, have corroborated the Prime Min- isters denial is "not in accordance with the facts." The despatch rc- ferred to by The Guardian specif- ically states the Amtorg offices have issued "n positive denial that there had been any discussion of ;` the food supply. Despite the success iany kind" with the Canadian Gov- ' of the programme for a. socialized _ organization of agriculture-two thirds of the peasilts and _ four- urins or ine total nrltlvated land are llo~.v~ in the collectives-the ~" ”` 1®“',' N’ " " v . _ . , . - (mer ._-_-4 ,._- . . _ . , f~.,¢»..;;'»‘.:_l-9,5. ernment.

If Britain were also released from her foreigll war debts and from the cb- llsnt-ivn W slllp huge amounts of gold from her already depleted stores, she would make a more rapid recovery. The German revival is good for Europe and thc world. A British revival would bc even more helpful. British mlhufacturers of bicycle! and tricycles report a boom lil tllelr business comparable to that ill the wheel-mad ‘90’s. One manufacturer says that 15 months ago he and oth- ers in that industry were faced with ruin. Of a sudden the cycle boom appeared and within three months they were employing 30 per cent. more wheelmakers than at any other period during the last 25 years. violent olltbreak in the penitentiary at Ocana, near Madrid, was instig- ated by fourteen anarchists. who forced their fellow-prisoners to loin in a. general riot, during which guards were dsarnlcd and beaten.

Of course everybody knows that the food we eat furnishes _the energy that enables us to work, it gives the tissues the materials with which to rebuild worn parts, it sup- plies the juices for digestion, it keeps 'the body warm and does many other useful services. Some time ago it was found that some of the most helpful foods do not agree with some people and give attacks of lndigestlon, of diarrhoea or constipation when eaten. Lately it has been clearly shown that certain foods are responsible for a. great many ailments besides indigestion. For instance asthma, hay fever, hives, and eczema have all been traced to such nourishing ,foods as eggs, meats, cereals, and milk,-all of which are foods need- ed by thc body. And now observant physicians are noting that some ailments, particu- larly old or chronic conditions are greatly influenced favorably or un- favorably by certain foods. . _ f Dr. Egon V. Ullmann, Portland, Investigation has proved that a oregon’ “number of months ago outlined a regular diet list of the foods that favorably or unfavorably affect chronic sinusitis, that infec- tion of the little sinuses or caverns that adjoln the nose. . I-Ie states that a sudden change of dict has been found beneficial in most old or ch.ronic conditions.

The Austrian Debaclc (Montreal Gazette) Quite outside German political circles, or any centres dominated by German thought, it has long been the considered opln‘on of many competent observers that the dlsmemberment of the Austrian Empire and its replacement by a melange of succession states, after the Great War, was a colossal blunder and one which would pro- duce reactlons of a most unpleas- ant-complexion. The last had not been heard-of Vlenna."1’he 5o-ea11- ed buffer states, created to be shock absorbers in Mittel Europe, would, it was felt, come fzzto a c011- llict of interests.
