There is a geéneral belie? that canCc@r is mcurable and that once the disease is under way thers is no hope. One of the things that may be hoped from the King George V Silver Jubilee Cancer Fund for Canada campaign is the spreading of the truth that the situation is by no means hopeless. The medical profession is agreed that Chances Inuech public been | Wt One of the dictionary definitions of royalty is "nobility." In the case of the British royal family "nobility‘" is an apt term to apply. And by the same token the people who show lovalty to this real royalty also evidence true nobility. Eviâ€" dence of the nobility in British royalty is given by the atâ€" titude of the King to such a matter as the celebration of the twentyâ€"fifth anniversary of the accession of King George to the British throne. There were loyal people in England who wished to evidence their fealty and affection by Sifts to the King. His Majesty, however, had more royal ideas. The gift of a magnificent house for his own personal use did not meet his favour. Something that would help his people was more to his liking. In Canada one of the ways in which the silver jubilee of His Majesty will be celebrated will be by the creation of a fund to wage war on cancer. Is that not truly along the real lines of royalty, nobility? The campaign fof this fund opened on March 1st under the patronage of the Governorâ€"General and Lady Bessborough. By special perâ€" mission of the King himself it is to be known as "The King George V Silver Jubilee Cancer Fund for Canada." It is well worth while for Canadians at present to stop a moment and consider the noble leadership given in good works by royalty and viceâ€"royalty. The crude and vulgar clapâ€"trap of a cheap demagogue should not obscure the value of the royal and viceâ€"royal leaders. While the tawdry parâ€" tizan is talking about destroying lieutenantâ€"governorship in Ontario, the representative of royalty in Ontario is woil.ing earnestly and devotedly for such causes as the elimination of slum conditions in Ontario. Is there need to ask which attitude is the more noble, the more useful, the more valuâ€" able to the people at large? To return to the campaign against cancer! People in genâ€" eral have not given the thought and study to the matter that its importance deserves. But the royal leaders seen the need for attention to the terrible menace of cancer. Few of the people in general realize what inroads have been made in ‘Canada by cancer. The death rate in Canada is decreasing, but unfortunately the deaths from cancer are increasing. Canada‘s deaths from cancer have increased from 7.164 in 1926 to 10,646 in 1933, the last year for which statistics are available at the moment. Cancer now is reâ€" sponsible for over a tenth of all the deaths in the Dominion. With the government considering ways and means to imâ€" prove radio conditions in Canada there could be no better time to urge the establishment of a powerful radio station under government ownership and control to serve the needs of the North. Now is the time to urge and emphasize the need for a government radio relay station for the North.

Wha ing municipalitie vincial governm found it necessa of regulatio vices. upon munici § GRAVEL AND SANDâ€"AND PLACER ET We Ts M Sm Sss es PAE S ies T on * om The address of Hon. Arthur Roebuck, Attorneyâ€"General of Ontario, in which he condemned contracts made with Queâ€" bec interests by the Ontario Hydroâ€"Electric Commission, was followed by a drop in the value of power company bonds of some fourteen million dollars. As noted in The Advance on Monday it is a notorious fact that there is never a serious loss in the stock or bond market but that some financial manipuâ€" lators make a lot of money. Who made the money from the results of Hon. Mr. Roebuck‘s address? And who gave the necessary advance information that made it possible for the markot to be manipulated as it was. If it is a fact that plans were made for a "killing‘" to follow the depreciation of the power bonds that would necessarily result from such a speech as Hon. Mr. Roebuck‘s, then there should surely be some way to punish those responsible. If ever an enguiry were needed it is surely needed in this case to make it plain whether or not there was a deliberately planned scheme to profit at the expense of the innocent investor in power stock bonds. Talk about stock manipulations! When has there been any more deplorable incident than would be the case if someone with information as to what was going to happen in the way of adverse publicity were to have planned deliberâ€" ately to use the knowledge for improper market manipulaâ€" tion. Ordinarily it would be a case for the Ontario Securiâ€" ties Commission to investigate. That commission has inâ€" vestigated stock markst affairs that appear much less suspiciâ€" ous than the present case. But how could the present Onâ€" tario Securities Commissioner investigate a case of this charâ€" acter. His hands are tied by the bonds of party loyalty which have recently been placed ahead of all other qualifiâ€" cations in the matter of getting a government position or holding such a position. Had Lieut.â€"Col. Geo. A. Drew been retained as Ontario Securities Commissioner the present case might be dealt with to the public satisfaction. It is too muth to expect from anyone appointed under the present governâ€" ment, though it must be admitted that the present Ontario Securities Commissioner has been fair enough and earnest enough in the discharge of his duties. Yet that he should be asked to tackle a matter such as the market conditions in regard to Quebec power bonds will appear to most people as requiring too much. Still the fact remains the whole affair needs clarification or words to that effect. The bonds of the Quebec power companies have been recommended as excelâ€" lent investments. In such cases the investor has no possible way to protect himself{. If he were simply the victim of 4A political address it would be bad enough. If, however, it is a case, as seems to be suggested in Toronto these days, where foreknowledge figured and market manipulation was not! absent, then surely an investigation is demanded. But who is there to hold the investigation, unless the matter be turnâ€" ad over to some member of the bench to deal with in efl'ec-} foreknowledge absent, then su is there to hold ad over to somf ties CommISssion tTO vestigated stock mark ous than the present mm P ~DP PP P P DL L L w PCP P iL PP P PP L DL DPA AP P Pz mpiated h inicipaliti¢ either see T‘h K ill have A C T which th for an Ottawa unthinkabl provil h b¢ rovisions of the local option act fortyâ€"three in Ontario have recently voted with the Idea ng beer parlours or getting rid of these drinkâ€" )r only four of the places has the vote been he beer parlours.
