Week, and the stores of the city are ablaze with banners and window signs urging the people of Oshawa fo cultivate the habit of buying British goods. This year above all other years there is a driving power behind Empire Shop- ping Week that should make it a success. With the threat of United States tariffs to shut many Cana- dian products from the markets of that country; a situation is being forced upon the people of Canada which makes imperative the development of closer trade relationships within the Empire. The British Empire is so far flung, and embraces countries with so many different types of climate and products, that the whole range .of human necessities and luxuries can be secured from countries over which the Union Jack flies. There is much talk of retalia- tion against the new United States tariffs, but the best form which that retaliation can take would be to buy a great deal less from the United States, and make up the balance of the goods which must be imported by securing them from some country within the Empire. There are three phases to the British Empire Shop- ping Week that are worth noting. First, civic loyalty demands that goods made in Oshawa should be used by Oshawa people as far as possible. Secondly; goods made elsewhere in Canada should have the second demand from the people of this community. And finally, if goods made in Canada are not available, the products of other British countries should have the preference over those of foreign «countries. That is simply clear logic. Persistence in following out these three principles will help to build up Osh- awa, will assist Canadian industry, and will help to develop an Empire trade far beyond the proportions that have yet been achieved. The local merchants this week are trying to im- press on the people of Oshawa the importance of buying British made goods. But that principle should not only be followed out for this one week of the year, What is good for this one week is good for the whole year round, and it is the hope of the spon- sors of this movement that it will result in a great increase in the volume of trade between all the coun- tries which go to make up the great British Empire. KINGSTON AND VICTORIA DAY The Kingston Whig-Standard is somewhat exercised over the observance of the birthday of Queen Vic- toria, on May 24, and that of King George, on June 3.: Down in Kingston, Victoria Day is no holiday at 'all, except for banks and government offices, which ob-. serve their holidays uniformly all over the Dominion. . Kingston has its celebration on June 3, the King's birthday, when: the banks and government offices' are "again closed, and with' them everything else ini the Limestone City. "Some arrangement should be made in the pro- vince about the general observance of either the Disthday of the late Queen Victoria or of King - George," says the Kingston editor. "Tt seems too bad tp arouse him from his apparent slumber, but his city seems to be about the only place in Ontario that is 'unaware of the arrangement for the general observance of Victoria Day as a public holiday and not of King George's birthday, and of the fact that this is done by special request of the king. The predicament of Kingston reminds us of the old lady who was watching her son's regiment 'pass by on the street, and who, as she proudly saw her boy march past, exclaimed, "They're .all out of step but our Willie" Of course we sympathize with the Kingston editor. It must be tantalizing to him to have to get out his paper while the rest of us are off enjoying a day's golf or fishing, and particularly when there is noth- ing coming over the wire. 'The only hope we can hold out for him is that he can persuade his muni- "cipality to get into step with the rest of the province. POLITICAL PARTY FUNDS Troubles. with 'political 'party funds are evidently not confined to this side of the Atlantic. Ramsay MacDonald, leader of the British Labor party, is up in arms because the opposing parties have large poli- tical war chests, which they are using to the limit in 'the election campaign, and which his party is sadly lacking. He is now demanding that parliament should force all parties'to disclose the sources of their election funds. : : He is not likely to get very far with this demand. Money is necessary to conduct election campaigns, and if there are citizens who have so great a love for their party as to subseribe.gencrously to its war chest, that is their own business, and they should have the privilege of so doing without having the fact blazoned from the housctops. : % There is, of course, the viewpoint that subscriptions 4 ¥s : i of large amounts of money by corporations and bodies looking for governmental favors is a dangerous prin- ciple, aid that is probably true. No government should 'put itself in the position of being obligated in any way to such concerns. or organizations. That has been Other Editors' Comments proven in Ontario, and Premier Ferguson took strong action to prevent the solicitation of such contributions, 'Ramsay MacDonalds' demand, however, is prompted, possibly, by the fact that his party has not been able to accumulate the large funds at the disposal of the Liberals and Conserva + If the shoe were on the other foot, he might have a great deal less to say about the subject. =~, . CIGARS AND PEACE S~ Exception is taken 'in -an English radical publi- cation to the expenditure of $500 by the League of Nations: to supply.delegates with cigars during the sessions of the Cowheil. It raises the awful bogey of the pampered official plutocrats from 54 nations carelessly puffing their panettelas 'while be- hind the scenes their military and naval advisers are ,. clamouring for more ships and more men in uniform. 'The unprejudiced observer cannot see eye to eye with these dreadful alarmists on this point. In fact in the delightfully curling, wreaths from these no doubt excellent cigars is seen a vision of peace and goodwill which could never materialize without the solace of the comforting weed. * Moreover on the score of economy the expenditure is not a heavy one when it is considered that not only do the 54 dele- .gates put their hands in the cigar box but several 'hundred officials, secretaries and more or less high funetionaries of the Council which is in session for a period of no less than seven weeks. : Possibly if all those who get a free smoke at the expense' of the League were commuted it would be found that no one got more than two cigars per diem which is certainly not an excessive allowance for plutocrat or pauper. We would even go further and say that the cigar box is an emblem of the new diplomacy and that the money expended to insure - its occasional passage round the council table is preg- nant with real wisdom . In fact those comforting panetellas are the very antithesis of the old, .secret, furtive and jealous methods of settling international differences in pre- war days. They suggest a comfortable and almost informal< getting' together of different racial repre- sentatives to discuss their affairs and learn each others points of view. They express openness, can- dor and commonsense and as we visualize the dele- gates at Geneva' trying to adjust the ponderous para- graphs of some complicated and restrictive agreement we can almost hear them deleting its harsher pro- posals and exclaiming in unison "A treaty is only a treaty but a good cigar is a smoke." Thére is not a kindly hearted smoker in the world who would banish the weed from the council chamber of the nations. EUROPE, GET TOGETHER Under the above arresting caption, an article ap- peared in several Ontario newspapers a few days ago, 'written by Edouard Herriott, former premier of France. ' / The phrase is an expressive one, and it voices, in three words, one of the greatest essentials for peace and progress in the whole world. The problems of reparations, disarmament, and peace would all be solved if the nations of Europe close their attitude of distrust, jealousy and suspicion of each other, and, with the hand of international goodfellowship and goodwill held out frankly, get together to face the problems which have so far fallen far short of an amicable solution. Of course, history and tradition have a great deal to do with the present European situation. It is hard for nations which for centuries have fought against each other to become lambs in the same flock overnight. The healing of old war wounds will, in many cases, be a slow process, and the old dis- 'trusts and enmities will not die out very easily. Mr. Herriott; however, has pointed the way to stability and good understanding, the finger-posts leading to permanent peace, and it will be a happy day for the whole world when the people of Europe arc ready to follow that read. EDITORIAL Notes PS Blossom Week with mid-winter weather keeping back the blossoms is just like Hamlet without the prince. Germany is willing to pay her debts if the allies will let her fix her own amount and terms of pay- ment. An automobile dealer advertises that he stands be-. ;hind every car he sells. That is a whole lot safer - than standing {n front of it. The daylight saving movement appears to be spreading. Perhaps before long the federal govern: i will realize the wisdom of making it Dominion: wide. The Philadelphia policeman who arrested Al Ca- pone and took his gun away from him had no idea who his prisoner was. Perhaps if he had Al would still be at liberty. "American prosperity is founded on advertising," says a well known United States financier. "Big - firms advertise not because they are big; they are big because they advertise." The United States is willing to have the German reparations based on Germany's capacity to pay, but is not willing to have her creditors pay their debts to her on the same basis. The Chicago gunmen have apparently been having a little disarmament conference of their own, and it is likely to bring just the same kind of result as the recent conference in Geneva. Hon. W. D. Euler told the House of Commons of 'a trip he made in a rum-running boat. Now if it 'has shared the same fate as the "I'm Alone", what % newspaper story it. would have made. If the new United States tariffs keep Canadian products out of the United States, then it will be necessary to find other markets. So the net result of them should be to stimulate trade within the Brie tish Empire. The fact that only seven members out of 615 were elected by acclamation in the British general election, and one of these the speaker, who by tradition is never opposed, shows how seriously the peeple take their politics over there. 1 i CANADA AND THE TARIFF (New York Sun Another unpleasant side of the est blows are struck at the .coyn- tries: with. which we have token the most pains to be friends. Can- ada, of course, will stand up under the strain of higher duties on pork and dairy products, for the Can- adians are as enterprising as our- selves and will find markets. The Canadians, too, have means of retaliating. LAE CANADA AND THE TARIFY (New York Post) To impose high ta f adian products' into this country is to give .a backhanded blow. at ourselves. No other two countries in the world have. #o large a vol- ume of trade h each other as the United States and Canada. We gell twice as much to our northern neighbour as to our next best customer, Great Britain, and Can- ada sells us-about two-thirds as much as we sell her. If 'we desire to Toute this trade, then the tar- iff bill is excellent. But this desire has .not- been mentioned by spon- sors of the bill as one of the argu- ments in jts favour, THE BLESSED Blessed are the merchants who advertise because they believe in it and their business; for their prosperity shall increase many fold, sagely remarks an exchange, and adds: Blessed is the woman who sends in a written account of a party or wedding; for she shall see the de- tails of a function and the names of her guests correctly reported. Blessed are all those who do not expect the editor to know every- thing, but who call up and tell him whenever an interesting event oc- curs for them; for they shall have a newsy paper in their town. Blessed are they who get their copy in early; for they shall occu- py a warm place in the editor's heart. r Blessed are those who co-operate with his efforts in behalf of the community; for their town shall be known far and wide as a good place in which to live, Bits of Verse THE CALL OF SPRING I hope to travel out again Where winds and zephyrs sigh, And the hawthorn tree is blooming 'Neath .the pleasant azure sky; There the balsam shades the hill- side, And our early fancies cling, Where the speckled trout are leap- ng In the ever-running spring. I hope to travel out again Where the passing wild geese'eall As you paddle o'er the waters, When the sparkling dewdrops fall, - Where blueberries hang in clusters On the old grey boulder"s side, In a stretch of wooded highland Where the catbirds love to hide. I hope to travel out again Where the skies are bright and fair, And the bob-o-link is singing In the balmy bracing air; There the old enchantment lingers Where life is a perfect dream In the stillness only broken By the bullfrogs in the stream. WELLINGTON P. MACKENZIE, tariff bill is the fact that its hard- | Article The British Labour Party And the General Election A REPLY TO MR. BUXTON MR. SELBORNE W. GAUIN | (Copyright--By Arrangement with Anglo-American : Newspaper Service) No. 8 In his recent article published in your issue, of the inst, Mr. Noel Buxton' claimed 'that "the agricultur- al policy of the Labour Party is severely practical." This is an im- portant claim, because all those con- 'nected with -agriculture, of whatever political opinion, desire intensely to find remedial measures which in ac- tual practice would benefit the in- dustry and restore some measure of prosperity to the countryside. Apart, however, from signifying approval of any attempts to stabilise currency, improve marketing, and raise the standard ef living of the rural workers, the definite action pro- posed by Mr. Buxton comes down to the two main points: (1) The substitution of the priv- ate landowner by the State, with su- pervision of cultivation by county agricultural committees. (2) The purchase of all imported wheat and meat by statutory Boards for re-sale at a fixed price, based on the estimated future world prices for the next few years. : Can either of these proposals be described as practical? The British tenant, says Mr. Buxton, is suffer- ing from lack of capital on the part of the landowner who can no longer afford to repair buildings, erect Dutch barns and new cow-houses, or drain the land. If Mr. Buxton means that the landowners cannot afford to do it for nothfng he is: certainly right in some cases, but then, nei- ther will the State nor any Public Authority that may be substituted for the private landowner, be able to do it for nothing. Mr. Buxton's proposal can - mean only one of two things: either the tax-payer is to be put under contri- bution to provide these things below cost, or a fair charge must be made for them. The latter course is per- fectly justifiable since no improve- ment is commercially sound unless it can bear an economic rate of interest and sinking fund. But which is the most practical policy--to leave the unpaid landowner to administer such land as he still possessses (pro- operations' can be manipulated with success, for they must necessarily be of a speculative character. If the Import Board speculated successfully and purchased in advance below world prices, to that extent they would lower the receipts of the Bri- tishfarmer still further. If on the other hand their speculations went the other way, it is dificult to im- agine that the British public would consent to pay a higher price for their staple foods than was ruling throughout the rest of the world merely in order to make good the losses of an inefficient government is surely straining optimism to its limits, Two other points in Mr. Buxton's letter call for comment. He im- plies that the State ownership of land will give the farmer security of tenure, but later on he also implies that this form of tenure will level up the standard of efficiency and tor. He cannot have it both ways. If he is really of opinion that the force of economic circumstances does not quickly separate the bad farmer from his land he should openly ad- vocate public ownership as ' giving less and not greater security to the tenant farmer. For no one can now pretend that the good tenant is in- secure. The landowner certainly does not wish to part with him, and even if he did, the tenant has the pro- tection of the Agricultural Holdings Act and, in cases where his farm is offered for sale, he now has avall- able long-term loans for land pur- chase at a low rate of interest. Lastly, Mr. Buxton definitely states that at present "skilled applicants are unable to obtan the holdings they deserve." Those of us who are today concerned with land would like to know where these skilled ap- plicants are to be found. In all those parts of the country with which we are conversant a call at the office of the nearest estate agent would soon put them in touch with all the land gradually eliminate the bad cultiva- | f That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D. CURING NERVOUS CASES WITH INSULIN Years ago Dr, Weir Mitchell was able to help a number of "nervous" cases by the use of rest and forced feeding. The idea behind this treatment was that the body processes--diges- tion and so forth--should be stimu- lated to action, and the brain given a rest. This helped many cases, but the results were much morc satisfactory where the individual was treated as if he had no brain, or rather as if he were an amimal, in the control of a guard or keeper. He was made to eat and rest as with Dr. Mitchell's treatment, but he was also forced to exercise. And so, according to his physical strength he put in the whole day cating, exercis- ing, resting, and then doing it all over again, You can see what happened. The work gave him an appetite he ate heartily, He ate so much that he felt sleepy after eating and was allowed to rest for an hour. He then worked or played a hard game of some kind, had a shower bath, a short rest, and some more ood. The food made good: rich blood, and the cxercises gave strength of y. The brain got the benefit of this frequent changing of pure blood, and came back into a state of health, But what about folks who are sick in body; patients with tuberculosis for example? : insulin has been able to give help. Dr. H. G. Zelter reports his ex- perience with forced feeding and the use of insulin in the treatment of ten cases of tuberculosis 4of the lungs, The duration of the treatment was. from three to four weeks.. The results proved that insulin is a valu- able help to the forced feeding of undernourished tuberculosis patients. There was a definite increase in weight of the patients. It affects all the 'building up and tearing down processes of the body, by making it possible for the tissues to use up the starchy foods more completely, Now this doesn't mean that folks that are well should take insulin to get foods used up more completely. If you are well you should go about your daily round of life gett- ing enough work or exercise to give you an appetite; enough food to keep your body well nourished, and enough sleep to enable you to feel fresh and alert in the morning. In fact yofi shouldn't have to think of any of these three things, they should all be done without any thought ofi your part. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act).

We may well ask if it is worth while abolishing the unpaid squire in order fo enthrone the paid official, and if any single human being will be the happier for the exchange. Certainly the proposal holds no hope of improved economic conditions for the farmer.
