Itas to be Laid to other causes than the depression and this linings the subject Back again to its most vital consideration namely the Quality of the pictures and the drama which Are being presented on the sit Pipii.

The situation which is exercising if. A Lasworth Only Brines Oun the importance the Quality the produce the picture Industry is offering. The financial True Hirn.

Of these new voters. 5.000 would have voted under the old plan of making up the lists so that the enumeration was responsible for a additional not actually voting. Even this May lie regarded As quite an achievement bin again it stands the weakness of a. Sys tem that leaves a. Wide open Opportunity for putting names on the list that should not he ill Ere. And there is abundant evidence of neglect by the enumerators to assure themselves that the names Given them were those of British subjects fully qualified to vote. Names were received from anyone in. The House who would give Thorn from children. The pay ment enumerators according to the number of names taken was bound to Lead to this carelessness on the part of some enumerators. And the obvious Opportunity for loading up the lists As a basis col plugging the ballot boxes was almost unlimited. This feature of the election act May have been Well meant but it should be dropped before the next election. The old system of registering the qualified voters might be improved by increasing the number of places where tins was done and by extending the time a order to prevent the congestion and delay at the registration Booths.

Hid nation one of the arguments indeed the chief one used in favor of High Protection lost very much of the Force it ten Twenty and thirty years ago. It could then be argued some show of j value of-34 million dollars to the exports from Canada. This latter is at least approximately Correct since there is agreement Between the two governments that last year France bought 31 million bushels of Canadian wheat. With the treaty at an end the French duty on Canadian wheat will be doubled. If this duty is not enforced As is suggested in tie despatches it will be due to a temporary need by France for our wheat but we no longer have the treaty Protection which ensured us in All eases the French mini mum duty on wheat. As the United states enjoys the right to Onici mum rates we Are in danger of losing our French Market for wheat to our american rivals. There May also be a connection Between Japan s action in putting on a duty of 17 cents a Bushel on our wheat and the termination of the French treaty. Some of Japan s exports to. For in in under the mini ii do much to relieve the National due to the business Cross for and unemployment. But have the democrats anything bet to offer apparently not and there Are serious divisions in their tanks. Chs Republican convention in Chicago this week been a father tame affair since Hoover Ceram to be renominated for the presidency and since the new platform contained no planks of particular interest except the sub Mission Plank and it was known that Baen approved by Hoover and would be included. The submission Plank 15 a proposal to refer to fhe people the United states again Tho question of modifying the National prohibition Law. There was More Aucul More hot discus Over this question than Over Canada was beneficial. But mod Ern machinery Lias changed that picture to a considerable extent. The widespread use of electricity As a motive Power the tremendous advances made in High Speed mass production Means in effect that a factory erected in Canada today employs far fewer people than it employed when our industries were in that blessed state known As infancy. The erection of a factory today does not necessarily mean the employment on a Large scale of Cana Dian labor. It Means More often than not the installation of mod Ern highly efficient machinery the object of which is to displace labor to the greatest possible other Plank in the platform although the business of the coun a u almost prostrate and eight or in. Millions of people Are us the republicans 5tra Salt enforcement of volstead act. Now they think at Public opinion is Ripe for a. Joje. The question that split 9 convention was whether the Shoum be asked to say they wanted the Complete i. The present Law so As to legislation entirely to to modify the Law leaving the question of. Liquor control largely to the states but continuing fed eral authority in the matter so As to protect states that wanted prohibition also to prevent the return of the old time Saloon in part of the country. Presumably Beer Parlours would be allowed but the line would be drawn at saloons where hard liquor could be sold and consumed. Modifica Tion of the volstead act rather than repeal was the Republican decision. The democratic convention in the last week in june will doubt less see a. Struggle Over the presidential nomination with probable selection of governor Roosevelt of new York. They Are greatly divided on the prohibition Issue but will doubtless adopt a submission Plank not to be outdone by the republicans. If they should stand for repeal and leaving the matter entirely to the would be an Issue Between the parties on this question of liquor control. In Congress the democrats have been very Busy of late trying to manufacture political capital. They first forced through the House of representatives which they control a Relief Bill. The Bill that will finally pass both houses will be a Compromise Bill but the democrats will claim credit for trying to be More generous. The democrats have also just forced through the House of representatives the sol Diers Bonus Bill the Money to be today More than Ever the. Sue Cess or failure of an Industry is conditioned on its machine equip ment. The factory with the most modern equipment will be the most successful. Labor Power is one of the lesser elements to be taken into consideration. Today also the Success or failure of Industry depends on highly skilled administrative ability. Protection for mismanaged or inefficient Indus tries simply Means that the Cana Dian Public pays the added Cost of production due to. Mismanagement or inefficiency.

The Canadian government desired for the six months period to re Tain the advantages to. Canada of the special rates fixed by the treaty but it was Only willing in return to.

Dog show by . Anyone who goes to a dog show is doomed to Dis appointment. It is slightly less thrilling than a ten Day bicycle race or a political speech at the end of a Campaign when All the Bloom either worn off or been knocked off and the listeners have become familiar enough with its matter to put in the interrogation Marks Supply the comma i affix the full stops. The actual judging is an event less mystery unless you know the dog business. It is even More of a mystery to the dogs. It is. Difficult for some them to. Understand just Why they should be required to stand in one certain position and peer up at a gentle Man gravely puffing of a pipe. Each dog its Atten Dant who tries to make it assume the proper stance. Painstakingly the attendant will straighten out each leg and Plant the foot in exactly the right position to set the dog off to Best advantage. Then he will hoist the Tail so that it stands straight up into the Breeze and give the coat a final smoothing flourish at which Point the dog decides suddenly to sit this is Tough of the attendant. He to Start All Over again. Ohs business of giving the last final artistic touches to the dog just before he goes to. Meet his Bine ribbon Fate is quite a Cere Mony. The. Owner goes Over every Inch of him with comb. And Brush. Of the business is probably the most pleasurable so far is concerned. A Pekinese his hair All brushed and fluffed the wrong Way so that Only his tiny head is discernible in a shimmering Cloud of Light Golden color. A pure bred Peke is not nearly As. Objection Able As Many one encounters out Side of dog shows. They Are. Bright Little creatures. One in. The dog show held at the amphitheatre saturday most be folded up in one hand. But the blood of Peke Kings ran in his appealingly Small body. His owner is e. Butcher in the City. Proudly he ruffled the hair of the Little.-. Peke s Mother proudly pointed out the father. He probably knew the relationship of most of the dogs in the show and some of their family skeletons a the closet. The tiny Peke he in formed us was Worth five Hundred dollars looking every such an aristocrat a great russian wolfhound sat he was a great White creature with a Long thin face a sad Wise face something Between Anatole France and King Charles the first. Most the other dogs joined in the general business of Barking to attract someone s attention. But the russian wolfhound True to his Breeding held himself above the Herd. In his eyes there was a profound sadness. The chief attraction was the great Danes. When a great Dane stands up on his Hind legs he is As tall As a Man. When one of them barks it is like a Long Roll of Thunder and very ominous Thunder. A great Dane is the soft est. Hearted creature in the you happen into grounds or a Bouse he is guarding then he becomes an intelligently directed Thunderbolt. One of the great Danes exhibited by the Trappist fathers was Tiger. Tiger a diploma of Merit tacked above his Kennel. The diploma was a boy who went through the ice on the red River some time ago. Tiger was asleep and a. Small boy was resting with him his dark head snuggled of Tiger s. The Trappist fathers have no trouble Selling the great Danes a the United states. So Little trouble that they Don t have to advertise the dogs. They Are Well enough known them selves. They bring five Hundred Dollar s each. Two or three attendants from St. Norbert Monas Tery watched their charges. One tremendous creature sat Down Bear the chair an. Attendant occupied. She became restless got up quickly tired of standing and then sat Down on one knee of the attendant. Her glance was. Almost human As her head to. See if he objected. There was a tired Appeal eyes and gratitude also when the attendant murmured that Sall right old from the rolling Thunder of. The great Danes the Down the scale into the tinny yelps of incredibly thin whippets creatures with pipe Stem legs and quivering bodies. Only the russian wolfhound and the British bulldogs maintained their silent dignity. But whereas the wolfhound withdrew himself delicately and completely from the scene the bulldogs perused it with Nuas Sive and undisguised contempt. Should have a monocle the bulldogs a curved pips and a Tweed jacket and silent in a Corner All by himself perhaps a pocketbook. More american in its Deate and methods. Accounts in newspapers and evidence adduced at tie recent meetings of the United Church conference it Sterns thac hysteria is affecting the administration of Justice in this country. Such methods Only go to Breed discontent and. Hostility in the hearts of victims and their friends. At the present moment when hundreds of thousands of canadians All Over Canada Are suffering from unemployment and consequent anxiety and starvation it is not to be won dered that there is a feeling of bitterness at conditions but will that feeling be lessened or intensified by those in Power regarding All those out of work As a source of danger to the Community which in must he carefully watched and disciplined lest it gets out of Bounds for the police to disperse a crowd of unemployed men who have committed no offence by rough handling them does not seem to me to a following British ideals. Let us then before we join with the British newspapers in condemning the police methods of our neighbors to South of us see that we set our of n. House in order and stand for jus Tice fair play and absolute Tia Lity in the administration of the Law. Yours truly. F. G. Scott. Archdeacon of Quebec. Quebec. June-14. 1932. It s the heat Aren t statistics wonderful a writer on the Baltimore Sun s a list of the men and women arrested during the last six years in new York for fighting or brawling and he tallied them up. With the weather reports. When the weather is Cool that is averaging below 65, the angry passions do not Rise. At least not so High. But when the thermometer climbs to 80-85 two thirds More men and twice As women were gathered in by the police. Then when the Mercury climbs still further peace once More descends. It s just too hot to Tell the most irritating of neighbors what one thinks of him or. Her let alone attempt reprisals. There s another thing if an Iso lated hot Day appears in Spring then the number of fights is twice As Many As on a like Day in summer. The moral of this appears to be to keep Cool if you would keep your temper. Take to the base ment and argue it your self. The method May jail to pro vide some satisfactions. But it also is innocent of a morning after. Today a scripture from Deuteronomy 5 be shall observe to do therefore As.
