A bitter foe of Communism who once also fought a Fascist organiza- tion called the "New Guard" which sprang up in New South Wales dur- ing depression years, Lang in 1031 was a central figure in events which led to the downfall of Aus- tralia's short-lived Labor govern- ment of that A powerfully-built "six-footer ularly known as the "Big Lang was the idol of the 8, oe man in New South Wales, Aus- tralia's largest 'and most industrial ized state.

One thing to remember is that this is a very small world in a very large universe; and that other worlds and other souls the best and we are expe! into through faith, belief, commit ment, etc, is qualitatively different to life lived outside of Christianity.

Over-eating May Develop A Cancer New York, Dec. § -- (AP) -- A considerable number of human cancers can be either entirely pre- vented by avoiding over-eating and over-weight beyond middle age, or at least thelr appearance can be postponed, nutritionists have been informed. This report was made to the con- ference on nutrition in relation to cancer by Albert Tannenbaum, of the department of cancer research, Michael Reese Hospital, Chicago. The prospect of reducing cancer by diet was based, he said, on a re- view of six available insurance statistics studies indicating that individuals who were overweight when past middle age were more likely to die of cancer than were persons of average weight. It is based also, he added, on studies of the effects of limiting the intake of calories on cancer in mice, This calory restriction has been CCF TO FIGHT AGAINST RAGE PREJUDICE Hamilton, Dec, 9--(CP)--GCeorge Grube, Ontario president of the Co- operative Commonwealth Federa- tion, addressing the opening meet~ ing today of the C.C¥F. Ontario section's 1046 convention, said the most important article of any demo- cratic code is the assertion of full equality of all men, regardless of color, race or creed. » "There have been too many shameful and distressing incidents of late to show that racialism of various kinds is flourishing in this country," he said, "a negro is refus- ed as participant in a Toronto bridge club; negroes are expected to sit in a special part of a Halifax theatre, In spite of recent legisla- tion in Ontario, the words "unre- stricted patronage" can still be seen in all their shameful indecency in some places. I am told the.words may be too ambiguous to be illegal, but their meaning is disgustingly clear." "No socialist party is worthy of the name that does mot take its assertion of equality without regard to race, color or creed with a sol- emn determination to carry it out. We do so in the C.CF., I hope without exception." Referring to Canada's other poli- tical parties, he sald, "by and large, there is in Canada little difference between our two old parties, The Tories want all controls off at once, the Liberals want to travel the same road, only more slowly. "Though even they are gathering speed on the way to chaos. Neither will face the fact that no govern- ment can implement even their re- stricted promises if they will not interfere with big business, and if they refuse to build a solid base of C.0.F. TO FIGHT (Cotinued on Page 5) Ideals Not Being Applied In Life "What relation has Sunday morning's worship to Mon- day morning's work?" asked Rev. Harold Toye of Toronto, Secretary of the Religion-Labor Foundation last night in a discussion of the church's role in present-day social and economic struggles. ~ Mr, Toye, who firmly belleves that NO MORE GOLDEN EGGS, GOOSE DEAD Toronto, Dec, 9 -- (CP) -- Blaming it on what they called "buyer resistance," Toronto real estate dealers said here they be- lieved the boom in real estate had slowed down, "It's just that prices have been pushed too high," one trust company ex- ecutive sald.

Her mother lives at Timmins, Ernest M. Carefoot Is Acquitted of Fraud Belleville, Ont.,, Dec.9-- (CP) --An unusual week-long trial which attracted wide interest in the eastern Ontario countryside ended Saturday night with acquit. tal of Ernest M, Carefoot, former Regina doctor charged with fraud. Basis of the indictment heard by a Hastings County jury under Judge F, 8. Lane was that accus. ed allegedly told John McCan- ninch of Belleville he had a ma- chine capable of diagnosing and curing any disease, There were 46 witnesses for the defence, Some of them testi- fled that treatments had effected "cancer" cures within three weeks, with marked improvement shown after the first three or four treatments. Five doctors among the Crown witnesses testified that in certain specific cases the defence witnes- ses did not have cajicer, as diag- nosed by accused but had suffer- ed from other aliments, Dr, C, 8, Cronk of Belleville" testified that Carefoot had tele- phoned him to say he was treat- ing a cancer patient of Dr. Cronk's, Blake Way, and "hoped for good results." The Belleville doctor added: "I told him that if he could cure Way I'd send him all my cancer patients, Way died about a month later of cancer." Mr, Carefoot in the . box for three hours Saturday denied spe- cifically representing to John Mc- cannwinch that he had a mach- ine capable of curing any allment. "I believe inmplicitly and abso- lutely in my methods," he sala. "I have had tremendous success, far beyond my original expecta- tions, although the. method has some limitations and I can treat only for 15 or 16 diseases." He sald his methods were bas. ed on "the electron theory" that everything sends out low-power emanations of wavelengths and that by tuning in on the proper wavelength the disease can be di- agnosed and "annulled." "I don't use the machine now," he said, "I use medicine... I could have jettisioned the mach- ine method two years ago but it was always 'the machine' that people wanted treatment with, because that's what their friends had had." In his charge to the jury Judge Lane sald "you must decide whe- ther this is a racket or a new method which is for the benefit of humanity." "You should bear in mind that the Abrams' technique on which Mr, Carefoot"s methods are basel was discovered in 1916 and had been held in disrepute by the me. dicial profession ever since. Is that prejudice, or because it is of no value? In deciding that point you have the basis for your whole. de- cision in this case." Defence counsel in asking ac- quittal suggested the jury recom- mend that a commission be ap- pointed to investigate the merits of the Carefoot treatment. Judge Lane informed the jury, I'cwever, it had no right to bring in such a recommendation, + "religion must be made relevant to the struggle of the common man" spoke at the C.CF. Forum, held in Hotel Genosha. Ideals proclaimed in the pulpit on Sundays were not being applied in concrete situations, Mr. Toye maintained, "If we could make those ideals work in practice, we would have the greatest religious revival in centuries," he said. Man More Important Declaring that the "institution it self," and not the cause -- "salva~ tion of mankind in all our human relations" -- had become the chief concern of the church, Mr, Toye warned labor unions to beware of the same misconception. "Man is more important than any institu- tion," he emphasized. The church and the labor move- ment could find common ground in a "morally constituted universe," wherein laws of truth, equality and brotherhood were just as binding as any physical laws, Mr. Toye de- clared. "Common people throughout the world are reaching the point where they question the validity of the traditional doctrine of ownership, It has been a presupposition of all, including the church, that when a man puts money into an industry or business, he has the sole right of ownership, He has had the right to hire, to fire, in fact to own other men, Money has meant ownership." No foundation in Christianity ex- isted upon which any such system could stand; Mr. Toye asserted. In this connection, Mr. Toye re minded his audience of a resolution, passed just four years ago at the Toronto Conference of the United Church, which stated that "the point at which the Kingdom of God is being most seriously challenged. is that of an un-Christian economic system." Money Not Sole Basis "Money isn't the only basis upon which ow=ership can or ought to be established," he said. "The skill, muscle and brain of the workers are actually a part of invested capital, Workers should have rep- resentation on the board of directors and some control over distribution. of profits." Chairman A. H, Dean, who intro- duced the speaker, declared it a tragedy that the church seemed to be so aloof from the common people. It was announced that arrange- ments are being made to secure Professor George Grube, President of the Ontario Section of the C.C.F, as speaker for the next forum in January.
