As it is the Conser disappears from the Saskatchewan House while the mainly five seats. This is an astonishing result. It motion clearer than anyone expected that Western ii attracted by schemes for state control of their d a planned National Economy presented to them Send radicals alike. Point of the Saskatchewan result a pre Domin Teiei Annite has flatly turned Down the planners with or controlled production controlled Trade an Mil turned to the Liberal ideas of letting people and giving them a Chance to Trade. These i called obsolete and the. Free press for hold a Inid Liis month by the Saskatoon Western pro out of touch with the temper of the Ibi i i seems to be life yet in the notion that a ii i by producing abundance and exchanging it try Chiin banners seem to prefer that idea to of or. Bennett and the . For regular Ting world Trade almost out of existence an Affinity the government in Saskatchewan. Their leaders denied millions of i convertible currency i in the expectation that increased business arising from its. Circulation will enable it to be employed without any resulting inflationary effects. Whether this can be successfully accomplished remains to be seen. The monetary reformers who want the government to keep on issuing increasing quantities of currency against the credit of the country in the expectation that this will expand business will be pleased with the Experiment which is quite in line with their theory. The cases not parallel can the refusal of great Britain to pay the june instalment of the War debt owed the United states be pleaded in justification of Germany s default of interest n the Dawes and Young Loans the economist does not think so. It says it is of course unfortunate that the final default on the War debts should have come at a time when great Britain is threatening to Taice reprisals against Germany should she fall to meet the service on the Dawes and Young Loans for there will be no Lack of critics to accuse us of hypocrisy and inconsistency. But in fact there is a Clear and two Liance and each did run his Between the two Ivrus a or. A Mill a i i Iii us -. A in Lix i Arity of their ideas of some Points i Liry were Jis lose.

Germany has already been relieved it Lausanne of virtually All her reparation liabilities the hypocrisy would be to default on our War debt payments to America while still exacting reparations from Ger and rank als at Ottawa that has j Many whereas in fact we have for eighteen months been doing precisely the opposite ill the second place. Itiat banners should not bother 1hcirjthe Maln Burden of our Case against g a is to plans for regimen Ting Agri in n markets. And these projects u in ii Saskatchewan has rejected were found in both programmes in the Sas Katche inc Anil the election. And the conservative Radical Alliance Divide most sharply on their proposals for agriculture. What the Farmers need says or. Bennett is to be regulated to have their sales fanned for . To this opinion the . Says amen. What Iners need according 10 the liberals is Access to markets. There Are no markets left. Mi1. Bennett and or. Woodsworth say in Ennis in. And the liberals admit that in fact Many once Valu Aue Are today surrounded by High fences. But the Liberal idea is that it is self deception to imagine that cup. Lake the place of markets. What the Farmers re is Noi direction b w of bureaucrats but an oppor the War debts is that America has herself made their payment impossible. Depression and tariffs rave Cut Clown our imports from Germany but British purchases of German goods in excess of our exports to Germany Are still enough to enable Germany to cover her obligations to us. Repugnant though the idea May be to the Type of economic eccentric who is now in control Here As in other countries great Britain is still on the whole acting As a creditor should. The new statesman and nation on the other hand thinks that Germany s Case for defaulting on Dawes and Young Loans is actually stronger than no facts in support of this claim Are Given. The Case As set out by the economist appears to be con up comes the Sun the big sport events by z.2. 1 at the moment they find it. Hard to sell the j elusive. The Dawes and Young or tie re a in in of markets not throw up turn banners into wards of the slate. The Sas voters have Iligir agreement with that line . They have bureaucratic control of Selling.

They Are in no Way comparable Willi the ent and the marketing British War debt. Is Tili Soull 1011 of ulc1 fill ill 111. Id Iii a Liivi rejected is that the slate should soil. The party will insist upon immediate removal of to Trade bet Wen Canada and other countries in a Ith there is no doubt about the nor can Ger Nike the claim that great Britain has made payment impossible by maintaining Tariff embargoes against German goods. A season in world sport of far tamely uneventful still holds a Promise of excitement which will surpass that of most other years. The surface of expectation has barely been ruffled but conjecture cannot surmise the outcome of the greatest two events that will close the year of sport. Other sports can be less speculative. Golf has stuck to the International course it was expected to follow. Tennis has the Vantage of some uncertainty but without the players whose i divid qualities shed Glamour on their prowess Tennis is deprived this year of much of the zest that enlivened it in years. The ashes Cricket May again be blown across two oceans but cricketers alone will feel the glow of Victory or the shiver of defeat. Baseball will have its world series but this eruption in North Amer Ica will be a very slight tremor in the world of sport. Boxing will continue to stage shows boosted for capacity houses but in these ring fixtures much that is not approved j and last rear has been influenced exploded bogey in Polo. The Polo played by the British has shown slight possibility in. The last few years of equalling the Polo played by the americans. International Polo has not held its own and though it May revive it is now Only sustained by matches Between United states Aud Argen Tine teams. But in Polo the Strong est the most surprising trend is the transference of superiority from the Eastern states to the Western states. This was first evinced at Onwe Tsia last summer when players trom Cactus and other far Western states completely routed the pick and Flower of the East England arise by k. M. H. Stands England where she did milk. Milk it seems is undermine the answer is yes tottering As we gathered this from the saturday a paper published in other coun try could produce anything quite like which has As its Streamer the Only paper that dares to Tell you All the so finally that is that. Philosophers have been struggling for generations to Dis cover truth and Here the saturday review does it week after week and for sixpence a copy. It starts out with a foreword done in red and Black Ink from the pen of lady Houston d.b.e., a personage with a Bank account who offered to the prime min ister to be spent upon the air de Fence of London. Lady Houston feels that London needs defending and she rates the her belief at prime minister ing England. Altogether the saturday review is an addition to the English scene. Other publications May waver. Other editors May have doubts. Other institutions May pause to consider. Not so the saturday re View. It knows where it is going and is on its Tugwell s appointment by Tom King Washington opposition to the confirmation of Rexford g. Tugwell As under Secretary of agriculture staged a three ring circus in committee and a rather aimless debate on the floor of the Senate. Or. Tugwell was already assistant Secretary of agriculture and the change in his title meant nothing More than an increase in his salary of per year. There was no suggestion that any Rancour against or. Tugwell personally animated his opponents. Neither was there any criticism of his administration of the agricultural could t get a seat. Outside the crowd stared up at the election Board Bright in the electric lights the greatest provincial results in the history of Canada were being marked up in led and in Blue. Lib Era landslide in Liberal sweep in Saskatchewan. What will r. B. Or. Henry s government had vanished in an overwhelming is Ion of red tickets. Or. Andersen s government was being calcined grounded to dust and blown completely out of visibility. Not a name remained to Fame of or. Anderson and his government. Not a vestige. Not a tatter. What will Bennett asked the citizen staring up As More red tickets were Slid into the slots. Would t take the Gold Aud now the lady through four paragraphs withdraws her offer. The fact seems to be that review does not care for either a by on the part of the few democratic senators Tulio opposed the confirmation to stage a revolt against the Roosevelt administration. U was charged that or. Tugwell he won t be replied Ern Polo traditionally at its bests will r. B. Only when Diawn from Meadow Brook where certainly it has been very Good. The recovery of the East s lost prestige is the govern ing ambition a Polo this year and it is this National contest Between East and West that has become the world s greatest interest in Polo in 1934. Or. Macdonald or or. Baldwin. Last Points out a Para graph or. Baldwin spoke his usual piece about disarmament and safety last the poor old Par in an academic address delivered i at three years ago. Expressed the at this Point lady Houston takes the pen in hand Ami has her fair the Serrations to make concerning wealth they produced until they Hanky Panky Mac and Baldwin gained control of the government the Craven who Are permitted to and brought about economic Lead us Down the path that leads to she proposes the Duchess of Atholl As prime minis Ter or if she will not consent there Are several men who Are Good and True conservatives . Are Che initials under the article on the House of lords. Not the place my dears where the members notably do nothing and do it particularly Well. The House of says ., has always contained As Many fools As the House of . Is Down on an elected House of lords. His thing was com who would like to see the red seats filled by replicas of or. Earn ing. He won t have a Corporal s he won t be Able to say any thing he won t be Able to planning by rigid regimentation of agriculture and Industry. No doubt this is True but or. Tugwell did not suggest that the Farmers and workers should overthrow the Constitution or take Possession of the government by violence. He May still from an academic standpoint see Many advantages in Tho rus Sian Experiment but As Long As lie has an easy governer berth pay ing ten thousand dollars a year he is not Likely to incite a. Revolution. If the revolution came about he might find himself hoeing potatoes or killing caterpillars at a much More moderate salary. Indeed senator Smith of South Carolina who demands that a dirt Farmer be made under Secretary of agriculture says or. Tugwell would starve to death if he were turned Loose say Macdonald and or. A Cotton Plantation. God forbid let the House strangely enough the senators commons be ample room and verge most vociferous in charging or. Tugwell with an academic leaning enough to Echo their platitudes. Toward soviet ism Well it s Tough on old r. B. Too i they Are the emissaries and repro if you look it it my is barely k vents in these and other sport come and go repealed almost year after year. Some Are genuine some another thing destroyed by go genuine but All bestir an Ontario election is the bogey Man of communism in that province. Some seven candidates carried the communist Standard to the polls and not Only was none of them elected but they must All have lost their deposits As their names were hardly even seen on the ballot papers by the voters. In constituencies where the other candidates polled and votes Between them the communist vote was some four or five Hun dred. In Toronto St. Andrew the communist polled this was the highest of their totals. The total Liberal and conservative vote in St. Andrew was More than ten thousand. Vet for some years the authorities in Toronto have Marie com a minis the justification for a series of at lacks on the civil Liber tie of tile individual citizen. There have been elaborate and Long i continued policies of espionage ending in elaborate Spe tac u costly criminal trials. There of that Appeal to the electors. The Bennett Tariff was a a Issue in the Saskatchewan Campaign and the Bennett have been government and police Tariff Lias been Eoln lined with All possible emphasis. Saskatchewan then has voted for economic Liberty for Hie individual in producing in Selling and his affairs. And Saskatchewan has rejected the defeatist notion that. West pm Canada s markets Are lost Aud that Western banners must uni heft to tenants or obedient servants of the govern interest and this is by no Means wholly due to Ballyhoo. But for the interest that will acute and possibly furiously distracting j acting and aviation May be looked to this year. There cannot be any anticipation of Tho results of their Thero will be preferences and predilections yes hut no Safe predictions. The outcome of the British Chal Lenge for the America s cup to be sailed in september is sunk As deep As the plummet can sink in the Newport Waters in which the boats will sail. The result of the air race from England to Australia to be flown in october is As darkly concealed from the world As it is a Quantity unknown to the gods. These totally dissimilar events will be pre eminent in their Appeal. The yacht race has historic Ranin sport and is steeped in the tradition of a splendid contest Crow Nee by this emergence of Western play ers. Golf. Has drawn champions from California when it bad been accustomed invariably to look for them on Eastern courses and in Teunis he american teams reach ing Wimbledon and Auteuil have come to rely More and More on players from the West. These trends Are not incidental but have become fixed accomplished. They have largely produced results and they have helped greatly to create the Monotony in successes and in defeats that this year dulls International contests that in former years were unpredictable. The season is not Over. It will end with two thrills that will move men the world Over. The quickening will come when the Endeavor modestly named after the repeated struggles of the five shamrocks sails the Rainbow. Both Are new boats but each claims to be the Best built to be the flee test. The America s cup will be won or retained in septem Ber. The Melbourne prizes for the air Raco will be won in october. Much International sport in this let him go to the country now and see what Well he d better. Where s Liis mandate look at there s the indication. The people have no Confidence in tory policies any More. What right has he to stay in office he s got to go to the what about Howard give me Coffee and make it Black and bitter plenty somewhere far away from Carl ton Street and the brightly lit Board and the staring whits faces looking up and the chatter of the cafe and the voice of the people the prime minister was getting the appalling news. And far away the Leader of the opposition was get Ting the astonishing results. Each bosom heaving to the tremendous Story with the Pang of disillusion with the swelling of anticipated Triumph. Bitter to one As the Waters of extinction. Sweet to the other As the Hope of splendid things to come. Ontario and Saskatchewan had spoken. There was no halt or stammer in their speech. The voice of the people had been unmistakable. And a bit surprising. And a tremendous responsibility for the victors. Senta Tives of a nation utterly defenceless on land at sea and in air. We should thank god we have still got a House of lords which costs most Active pass age of the control act which is not academic but applied soviet ism. Under this Art a Man May produce the amount of Cotton allowed to him by the nation nothing but which i government and can produce no always Voles a j keep the Home by dogged persistence., in defeat for that race 5s competitors have enlarging the currency Thorp win hold that the cause i the depression Are monetary Itiat it can he cured by monetary j methods and employ them in paying for the Public works which have been authorized instead of borrowing expedients vill Welcome the in crease in the fiduciary Issue provided for by the legislation submitted to by the government. Heretofore the govern ment has been Able to Issue Domin notes to k mount of Gold coverage of Twenty five a. R eat. The Legisla Tion a inv parliament author the Money by the usual banking in the earlier demands that were made upon the govern drives against Freedom of Assembly Jand of speech and an infringement on the Liberty of thought and expression. This Bas All been justified to the Public by the official warning that communism was a real menace and the various suppression and curtailments of civic rights were for the general Public interest. Tuesday s elections have completely exploded this pretence. Communism in Ontario is shown to have not even a. Negligible influence on the Public mind. The suggestion that a movement which puts up ment for the issuing of unpacked i even candidates in nln6ty seats notes for Public work purposes it was assumed that such expenditures would Widen the basis of credit and re prime the pump of business. Possibly expectations of this character May attend this Ven Ture in printing notes. And gets less than six thousand votes for All of them put together is a menace sufficient to warrant the suppression tactics in Toronto stands exposed for what it is Worth. Nothing at All. What it does reflect on is the the of the m the idea behind Tho fixed fid Type of politician who covers up note Ciary Issue does not fit in Comfort-1 his incapacity by the cry of com i sue. With urn 25 cent backing ably with current banking prac a monism. And that the bolsheviks in Thi represents which do not recognize note a ill get us All if we Don t keep him increase i t fiduciary convertibility. The fiduciary Issue office and let him decide on Bat not Issue not backed by in the past has represented that j what civic liberties we should have. To in addition there is o course proportion of the note Issue which the of unpacked notes which were issued some Twenty ears ago. Making a total fiduciary Issue of ii Jet this n it was estimated would not be presented for redemption in Gold. But with convertibility suspended and perhaps abolished there is a cer i Tain amount hocus pocus about Oritz the Domin these careful efforts to relate note can. If it chooses j issues to Gold reserves. Print tto minion notes to tiie what the Dominion government sore. Fifty two million dollars proposes to do is to Issue some 52 arbitrary official attempts to tamper with free Assembly and free expression of opinion Are full of danger. The electors can be trusted to size up the merits of communism the air race is fraught with the peril of the new and the Drain on the courage of endurance. One of the events is probably the oldest internationally organized and the other is the newest. But the Appeal that will be made by either will eclipse that of All others and with every reasonable eventuality will allow this year to become memorable in the annals of world sport. The new trends in sport May hold More significance than do any of the few unexpected Supre Macies in the season s contests though p. Definite trend is not necessarily indicated because lady owners have been prominent As winners of Clas sic horse races. Miss Dorothy Paget won the grand National and mrs. Sloan and mrs. John Hay Whitney have bad exceptional Suc Cess on american courses. These distinctions Are incidental and Are hardly unprecedented but they add to the Romance if you wish of the race track. Nothing about them is startling As was the Shock received when the previously undefeated favorite Colombo barely got. Entered already and they represent nine nations. Few if. Any of the contestants need to Fly the Miles to gain Fame for Fame is theirs already. But As they Fly this Empire race they will be visibly and invisibly followed in their course Over continents and seas by the eyes of the world gazing upward. And those fliers will be competing in a race that will be a Marathon without parallel in the history of the world of sport placed in the English Derby or As is the marvellous form consistently being shown by cavalcade offering fair ground for the Hopes of Ameri can horsemen that they again pos sess the rare great Horsa. The trend in some other sports without having to be protected u due to new perfections that have for the time being at least induced the National interest to supersede against themselves by the police. Ontario has furnished the proof. Which should be noted generally throughout the country. The International. You find this in Polo and in Golf but More notably what the Moon saw by to b. R. It s hissed the Fel Low at the news room counter with the crash of falling tories crackling on the wires. It s said the expert in the elevator As we went Down to see the election Board red with Liberal victories. Ill go even murder Dan said the enthusiast in the o Kum inn As he called for Coffee it s positively mediocre an make Dat cof fee i Teil you Bennett would t get a Corporal s guard. Weeks ago i told a fellow that if r. B. Went to the people he would t get a Cor poral s guard. I offered to bet a fellow Money Bennett would t get a Corporal s guard. Sure not a corp Toast and the butter on the Toast from the Golden books from sleep at sea Christina Rossetti sound the deep who shall sound that too Short the plummet. And the watchmen sleep. Some dream of Effort up a toilsome Steep Soma dream of pasture grounds for harmless sheep. White shapes flit to and fro from Mast to Mast they feel the Distant tempest that nears them fast great rocks Are still ahead great Shoals not past they shout to one another l Pon the blast.

So dream the sleepers each Man in his place the lightning shows the smile face. Perhaps we ate All wrong. The saturday review May not intend any reflection on the House of but we must chronicle that Charles second gets a full Page write up and a full Page por trait with the statement that he was a Good and Wise King for it appears that that Monarch had dealt with men and women and had no sentimental feelings in the abstract but he was most extraordinarily kind even to those who least deserved it and kindness is a peculiarly English even the Farmer contributor takes a whack at the government. He asserts is burning while our government neros fiddle and very soon it will be too late to save the the article has to do with the Over production of subjecting the i Cotton to a tax that is. Admittedly confiscatory. The Southern Sena tors who led the attack were per haps unconsciously motivated by the growing suspicion that the centralization of Power in the Federal government now proceeding at such a rapid rate will soon break Down the Independence and authority of the various states. This suspicion or rather fear is shared by a Good Many people in the United states who have no interest whatever n whether or. Tugwell receives or for whatever service he renders the government. This centralization of Power in Washington May be a Good or bad thing but it was steadily going on for years before or. Roosevelt entered the White House.

Notes books Are a finer world within the today s scripture from psalm 119 give me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before thee deliver me according to thy word. My lips shall utter Praise when Thon Hast taught me the statutes. My. Tongue shall speak of thy word for All thy commandments Are righteousness. Let thine hand help me for i have chosen thy precepts. I have longed for thy lord and thy Law is my Delight. Let my son live and it shall Praise thee and let thy judgments help me. I have prone astray like a lost sheep seek reviewing a French Book the flight of the being an account of Napoleon s marvellously planned return from Elba and re entry As emperor the Tuil eries or. Desmond Maccarthy recalls an exceedingly interesting description of the Eagle on Elba by a Young Nobleman sent there As a reporter. Let or. Maccarthy. Describe the reporter. Indeed the whole Long review of the English translation of this Book Longmans will Send Many to buy or rant it As they say. The description was written at the time by. A Young Man who by birth associations and temper of mind was like y to see Napoleon without Glamour without fear without hatred by a Young whig Nobleman who was desired to be prime minister of England. Lord John Russell visited Napoleon at Elba in december 1814. The fact that he was a whig ensured that he would not see him As the corsican ogre that he was a whig Noble Man that greatness would have no Glamour for him that he was John Russell that he would be a Trust worthy reporter in its dry Way it a notable piece of he was dressed in a. Green coat with a hat in his hand very Vuch. As he is painted but excepting this re semblance of dress i had a very mis taken idea of him from his portrait. He appears very Short which is partly owing to his being very Tat his hands , Dell Icv of Luot. The waiter handed out the Coffee. For l to not Torget thy Tea cups rattled. Olie came in and legs being quite swollen and unwieldy this mates him appear awk Ward and not unlike the whole length figures of Gibbon the historian. Be sides this. Instead of the bold marked countenance that i expected he has fat Cheeks and rather o turn up nose which to bring in another historian made the shape of his face resemble the portraits 01 Hume. He has a Dusky Grey Eye which would be called a vicious Eye in a horse and the shape of his Mouth expresses contempt and manner is very Good a matured and seems studied to put h at one s ease by its familiarity smile and laugh Are very agreeable lie asks a number of questions with out object and often repeats them a habit he has no doubt acquired during fifteen years of supreme com this i should also attribute ignorance i seems to show at limes of rust common facts. When anything that he likes is said he puts his head and with great pleasure repeating what is said but when he does not like what he hears he looks away As unconcerned and changes the subject. Prom this one might conclude that he was open a Lanery and violent in his temper. Speaking of lord Wellington he said he had heard he was a Large Strong Man grand Chasseur and asked if he liked Paris. I said i should think not and mentioned ii Ord Wel Lington having said that he should find himself much at a loss what to do in peace time and i though scarcely liked anything but War. Napoleon la Guerre est in grand Jeu Une Belle occupation that description which i take from the sunday times is Worth filing. Napoleon bad not brooded on returning. All was the whirlwind process of an organizer. In three Days he went through his Island of internment making his own its defences resources shortcomings and proceeded to spend three or four times its Revenue on improve a Hospital a theatre and Severa residences. Then he organized a Little army men and a Little Navy 129 appointed officials with High titles arranged his court in minute details and called Elba his Island of As though he meant to remain there. He was still in his prime the vast Bat Tery of instinctive Energy must have an outlet it was that impulse which quickened action and brought Napoleon in three weeks to Paris. Bookman. I ;
