Tory s Deport on credits the Montreal Gazette take s a f3rmt attitude on the matter of the government extending any Tance towards the financing of the agricultural Industry. It or. Tory statement that an immediate improvement in a hods of agricultural financing is imperative if Canada to again her place in the world of and it says a what is the use of encouraging the Farmers to borrow farther in Loans use debt not mostly to Llose who should Root Sefc Why cannot the Farmers when they really need loaning their banners the facilities now available and pay commercial rates am As others Ivhon borrow Money will the difference Een the rate at which the government can make the Loans and the rate on Loans obtained otherwise really be much help to agriculture and finally the provision of recommended by or. Tory would add to the great mortgage of the of the country by adding millions to the National it from the last statement the Gazette apparently forgets that Der the proposal the provinces would not Only administer the machinery but also assume responsibility for the Loans the Dominion would therefore be secure and Here would be no further mortgage on Industry As far As the Dominion government is concerned. Another thing the Gazette overlooks is that at least five of the provinces have Learned some thin from loaning Money mostly for relatively Short terms to the Farmers in recent years. That experience in some cases covered the years of the great agricultural deflation and it is not Likely to be soon forgotten. It is Safe to say that in co operating in a scheme for Long term Loans such As or. Tory suggests they to very careful about the Security for the Loans and about seeing As far As possible that the Money would go to the Farmers rho need the Money and could make Good use of it. As for the general advisability of providing agriculture by some Means with a better method of financing it is to be remembered in the first place that the Canadian Farmers particularly those of the West produce largely for Export. In the world Market they must meet the Competition of other agricultural countries which in some cases have advantages Over Canada in regard to transportation costs charges for Money and otherwise one of the things that we must do in order to meet that Competition is to lower the Cost of production. That can be done in part by the judicious application of an increased amount of capital when the rates on agricultural Loans Are too High Farmers who could use the Money to advantage refrain from borrowing. If cheaper Loans Are made available they will take the Money improve their equipment and their methods of farming and thus put their business on a More efficient basis. And there would to a corresponding increase in farm production under conditions which would make farming More profitable than at present. This Ronld incidentally bring a Good Deal of additional business to the port of Montreal. The government has not indicated what it will do about or. Tory s report which also recommended that intermediate credits Sion be provided through co operative Effort 011 the part of the banners making use of present loan facilities. But the above mentioned considerations it might be expected would be recognized by the Gazette As indicating an essential part of any Broad and sound policy for the development of agriculture. Colonel. L. Ward in his address quoted a memorandum issued by ther Board by education in 1921 in which it was stated that the cell Dren had received enormous Bene or. Little member of London University in the course of his address in support of the Bill said that medical science was on the eve of very great expansions of know ledge of the of sunlight his Branch of Medicine had led. To a special study of its and those who were interested who would visit the Light department of any of the great London hospitals would see the transformation of a wreck of humanity into a reason ably healthy person As the Mere result of sitting for half an hour three times a week in front of a very feeble imitation of sunlight which came from a Carbon arc lamp. The study of the pathological effects of fresh air and sunlight also showed that they had an enor Mous influence on nutrition Gener ally. The opposition to the Bill did not voice during the debate any answer to these Points made by the sup porters. The London times in an editorial quotes sir Henry Gauvain noted for his work among consumptive children As testifying to the social and physical values of summer time adding it is the Spring Light in the morning hours when the air is Clear avoid Cool and the heat rays Are As yet unable to exercise their antagonistic action that is especially therapeutically England is two degrees further North than Winnipeg and therefore the length of Daylight will there be slightly longer. Sure of a Welcome this Freedom the past couple of Days. There Are in parliamentary procedure All and conditions of occasions which permit of debate was this method chosen by. The tories on. This occasion. Or. Evans opened the Ball by mov ing an amendment full of regrets. Reg rets that the Bill was so late ill coming Down regrets that it did t go far enough regrets that it interfered with the rights of self gov. Ern ment and so Forth. Joe regretted also. John Queen thong lit that it was t logical to regret delay and at the same time regret that the government had not Given it enough consideration. Finally Ater some 8 or 10 members had spoken the House divided on motion. The grits and tories stood up together and labor with., this government proceeded to smother them comfortably. And so to com Mittee of the whole and the spec Tacle of or. Farmer sitting on the ministerial benches and Lakinjr amendments accepted by the government to the Joy of his confreres opposite and the other oppositions. A sort of round table conference this process of putting the Bill through the committee and if anyone Hea i in what was going on or How it was amended except the parties to the process we would like any Way it is Law now and the people affected will find out soon enough. A few words by or. Craig about the intention of the government to limit the number of race tracks and to regulate the sport of Kings if it shows signs of becoming an abuse a somewhat peevish speech Halg about not getting a return Ami the business of the morning was Over. Of yes in Case you Are the House was prorogued at 4110 . And it will be nine months before they can pull this again on a question at that we should say the privilege is. All ours. . W. Nature studies in Western Canada As to cultural representation or. W. G. Raymond having suggested in parliament that the Cana Dian universities should have representation in the House of commons the Ottawa journal remarks that it might 09 difficult to apply the Brit ish system Here but that it would by a Good thing to give the universities representation in the Senate. It also commends highly the Constitution of the Senate of the Irish free state which gives representation not Only to the universities but also to the professions to agriculture to great industries and to the arts and sciences. This plan of giving parliament the culture the brains the truest representation of what is Best in the life of the a Tion appeals strongly to the journal. Bat is there not More of the Fanci fully idealistic a it than of the practical University representation of course would not be regarded As class representation. Such members would be sent to Parlia ment in the belief that their know ledge of history economics and other subjects would be of value in ure discussion of Public policies. Bat should there be special representation of the professions the banners and other classes it is desirable of course that the Vari Ous general classes should be fairly represented in parliament but the principle on which represent uves go to either House should be that of serving Bret of All the National interest. That principle can lot very Well be maintained if they Are chosen because they belong to definite classes. Our representatives May at times find it Pessary to press vigorously the Aims of certain classes or certain sections of the country but their opacity As National representatives should never be Ost sight of. If l the presence in parliament of special representatives would hardly. Such a gain As the journal sup Toses. It is doubtful if Public mat Krs would be dealt with any Morrs or efficiently. A Good Deal is said of the politicians May deserved but it is easily possible 10 underrate the services of Many Are reasonably sensitive to Public opinion which is very desirable. And Why it might be asked is it All wrong to have class and group representatives in the commons As the journal holds if it is desirable to give special representation to these classes in the Senate it is better to be consistent and discourage class representation All along the line. Summer time Rummer time is up Tor its annual discussion before the City Council following a recommendation from the Parks Board that it should be instituted. Several. Canadian cities have already adopted it and in great Britain a measure for its per manent adoption to begin in april and end in october has been accepted by the House of commons. This brings the old country in line with France and Belgium where a similar Law is in Force. Much of the discussion in the British House followed the line Public that men who have the knowledge comes from years of experience who happen to be men of Good a moment. There Are Many such its a in parliament who Are really valuable Public service. They Are also ready to hear outside repro nations on any subject and they made familiar wherever the ques Tion is discussed such As its effect on would seem the cows. Are particularly averse to and its effect on children. This last phase has. Special refer ence to the City where each As the measure is debated citizens take the pen in hand to assert How deleterious Daylight saving is to the health of children. It is not with any intention or Hope of combating the opinion of Pater families or Mother of but rather As a contribution to general information that attention is drawn to the Brit ish parliamentary debate. Sir Kingsley Wood quoted the London county Council As Declar ing that it saving was most advantageous to school children and Young persons beyond school h. A. L. Fisher stated that when he was minister of education he appointed a very influential departmental committee to examine the effect of summer time on the health of children and their report entirely dissipated the arguments of those who believed it was in sir w. Joynson Hicks explained that As Home. Secretary received a deputation from the British medical association in support of the Bill when it was stated by two eminent medical men that summer time was of Benefit to the health of the mover of the Bill Lieut the Golden boy upon the dome kicked out and gave three cheers he said it s Safe to take the Wool from in regard to the Price of wheat one supposes that tie persons buy ins wheat sometimes have their opinions.

The girl it the victim of three fac environment and a Legal. System. Arabs in Damascus threw stones at the hotel where lord Balfour was staying.
