There are certain Canadian public men and certain Canaâ€" dian newspapers that for generations have suffered from a sort of inferiority complex. They suffered from the condiâ€" tion before the term of inferiority complex was invented, and they still have the trouble now that the words "inferiâ€" ority complex" are absut worn threadbare. Years ago this inferiority complex tock the form of the idea that Canada and Canadians were lower in the scheme of creation than what the selfâ€"abased fellows termed the "great country and the great people to the South." Even Buffalo sausages were believed to make a hotter sort of hot dog than the sausage made in Canada. There was a fear that Canada could nSt prosper if the United States frowned.. The war could only be won by United States troops, according to the inferior Canadians who gloried in trailing themselves in the dust. Theso inferior Canadians are gluttons for punishment, but cven their deeply humble minds have been unable to hold the idea recently that Canadians are so much inferior to the eople of the South. These cringing Canadians, however, are determined to have superiors to worship. Perhaps, it is not so much the superiority of other pesples that is imâ€" bedded in their consciousness as a belief in the inferior staâ€" tion of their fellow Canadians. It is an cdd fact, however, that these people who think so lightly of their brother countrymen, have a stupendous opinion of themselves, by the way. In recent times, with the idol of American superiâ€" ority rather battered by collision with hard facts, these Canadian worshippers of other lands and other pecples have been offering their fealty to Soviet Russia. Of course, Russia had the advantage of being foreign, and anything foreign seems to be something superior to these humble felâ€" lows. "You know it is possible that the Russians have some good ideas," these fellows commence. They would laugh to scorn the idea that Canada or Canadians could ever be right or progressive, yvet the history of Canada is one of remarkâ€" able development, of vision and of original thought and courageous grappling with great ‘The implication that anything is sure to be desirable because it is strange and because it seems to originate in a foreign country is one of those disgusting perversions of common sense for which the toadying Canadian is infamous in his own counâ€" try and ridiculous elsewhere. Fortunately, there are not many of this type of Canadians but the few there are make enough noise to ‘irritate their fellow Canadians. Their attitude begs the question, "But surely, sometime, someâ€" where, somehow, Canada and Canadians do things right, and do occasionally have a happy thought superior to the brain waves of all foreign lands?" Biu province. Unfortunately, for the present premier, he was euchred into a position where the people in general are liable to doubt his political sagacity, though he has been pald the remarkable compliment of having his honesty and integrity generaily upheld. For the present, Premier Henry has been endorsed by his party and upheld by the people. At the same time there is a rather widespread feeling that he has lost considerable of his strength as a leader and that for fair chance of success in the next election a new leader will be necessary. The premier is also understood to be in poor health, and so a change is particularly desirable, for in these days of stress a strong premierâ€"strong in every sense of the wordâ€"seems essential, It may be taken for granted that at the present time there is a canvass being made c¢f the possibilitiee of different men as the choice for leader of the party and the government in this province. Several men have been put forward as the likely choice. With none of these need particular fault be found. Some, indeed, are men of unusual talent and standing. Many of the names would be agreeable to the North Land. Hon. W. A. Gordon, for instance, would sweep the North, and his success in the South would also likely be notable. But it is doubtful if Hon. Mr. Gordon would drop the place he has made for himself at Ottawa and where he has given such signal service to the country. Another man who would be particularly acceptable to the North would undoubtedly find favour and support in the rest of the province. This is Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Mines in the present Ontario Cabinet. Hon. Mr. McCrea would have the fullest conâ€" fidence of the whole North. He would have the fullest conâ€" fidence of the people of the South. He has won that conâ€" fidence by a lifetime of honest and able public service. He has the talent, the integrity and the faculty for public serâ€" vice. Under his generalship the portfolio he holkis has asâ€" sumed a major position. There is no doubt that the mining industry has been vitally important in stabilizing the proâ€" vince of Ontario in these testing times. There is no quesâ€" tion but that the gifted work ‘of Hon. Mr. McCrea has had much to do with the position of mining in this province at this time. Mining men and the public alike have the fullest confidence in the fairness, the integrity and the public spirit of Hon. Chas. McCrea. His character has been supported by a rare talent. He has the gift of leadership. He inspires regard. He accomplishes things, quietly but effectively. He would be the choice of the North for premier. The South would regard him with equal favour. If there is to be a new premier for Ontario, the province will make no mistake in selecting Hon. Chas. McCrea. He has been a success in his own profession. He has been useful as a member of the Legislature. He has been invaluable as a Minister of Mines. He would make a notable premier.

While the psychological results of the recent conference are alcone worth while, there is a@also the promise of more material advantage. Agreements in regard to tariffs will be of service. Most countries have been attempting to foster industries for which they are not particularly equipped by circumstances and conditicns. The present is the best time to get rid of this fault with the least additional dislocation of affairs. The idea Of a moratorium of restricted kind upon war debts will also prove helpful. The most beneficial and farâ€"reaching proposal, however, seems to be that of the intended revaluation of gold. It appears likely that gold will be standardized by the nations at probably $30.00 per ounce, instead of the present $20.00 per ounce. The effect of this will be farâ€"reaching and will prove a remarkable relief for the pressure under which all nations seem to rest at present. In this Noerth any such revaluation of gold will prove of notable benefit. Not only will established mines be enriched, but new properties will feel equal advantage. While the experts are not certain as to the exact effects on the world ¢of the different relief measures planned, there zseems to be general agreement that improvement is certain and that conditions will gradually adjust themselves in satisfactory way. In the meantime those looking at the world as a sick patient should seek for helpful remedies rather than talk about cutting the patien‘t‘s throat as the communists do. With the return of better health, however, there are certain incculations that should ‘be made to guard the patient against further returns of the disease. The patient must be admitted to have a good system, but certain abuses of that system should be avoided in the future. It will be surprisâ€" ing how few changes will be necessary to assure the patient‘s health. The patient knows now that too much greed results in painful indigestion, and that overâ€"capitalization is worse for the head and the heart than other fevers or the inâ€" fluenza. The recent conference between President Roosevelt, of the United States, Frime Min‘ster Ramsay Macdonald, of Great Britain, Premier R. B. Bennett, of Canada, and Premier Herrictt, of France, has already had good effects. The world conference to be held next month will still further assist the world to better days. It is taken for granted that with Canada, Britain, the United States and France, practically agreed and in accord arrangements may be made whereby all these nations at least may enjoy a measure of return to prosperity. No sane person can deny that the conditions of the day are real. It is well known ‘that talkâ€" ing or thinking will not remedy the evils of the present. Yet at the same time it must be admitted that some of the trcuble is psychological. This is shown, for instance, in the case of people who have had no cut in salary or reduction in income and yet act as if they must economize ‘to the limit. Their attitude, of course, adds to the real troubles of the time. A still better illustration of this psychological turn is the fact that business and nl-du§trtal leaders have been overâ€" whelmed ‘by panic before there was any actual cause for alarm in their cases, and again the diffculty has been inâ€" creased. The recent conference between the president and the premiers has had its psychological effect and there is a general feeling that better times are near at hand. This very feeling helps to make it so.

In the past week or two more harm has been done to Northern roads that may be repaired in many months. A dollar spent now would save hundreds of dcllars necessary when times return to normal. It may be noted that what Hon. Mr. Finlayson needs to worry about is the present condition of the roads and the present needs;, He will be in no position to do anything when ‘"We do not expect ito undertake, any construction programme this year and our appropriation for maintenance has been reduced so that it will be imposâ€" sible to keep up the service to the usual standard.

To allow the roads of the North to go to ruin, as they certainly will go if neglected now, will be a senseless and evil thing that the people of the North and the people of Ontario will never Overlook or forâ€" give. That such a thing should be contemplated carries its own condemâ€" nation. Hon. Mr. Finlayson‘s letter to the North Bay board of trade reads: "The Provincial revenue has fallen off in such an alarming way that it has been necessary to curtail our activiâ€" ties in all branches of service.

Not only did the council at Rouyn refuse permission for any "fool parade" or meeting organized ftor the benefit of paid foreign agitators, but the authorities also announced that the prohibition would be strictly enâ€" forced and that any attempt to parâ€" ade cr hold meetings on the street would ‘be followed by arrests and proseâ€" cutions. It was a Timmins mayor who referâ€" red to the "fool parades" staged by the communists and the reds and their pink brothers. It remained for Rouyn counâ€" cil this year, however, to put its foot down and absolutely refuse any perâ€" mission for any such "fool parades." It is beyond question that at a time like the present no goxi purpose is served by these "fool parades." There is nothing helpful or constructive about them.

Some people will say these are hard times and the counâ€" cil should be lenient with people who are behind in their taxes. This is all right if leniency would lessen or wipe off the obligation, but it is otherwise, for every year that taxes go behind and are not paid there are interest and expense added to the amount the taxâ€" payer finally has to pay or lose his property. Therefore, though it may appear hard, the council is really doing us a kindness when they make us pay each yvear‘s taxes as they become due. States.
