Attention is drawn to the state ment that All these schemes required and obtained parliamentary Sanction. When the attempt.

Without exception every English marketing scheme had first to obtain the approval of parliament and then a two thirds majority in a poll of the interested producers. In Canada the ratification of parliament and legislature is not required and even the submission of the plan to the judgment the producers May be dispensed with at the instance of the government.

Bennett in his address to the Page the poets by k. M. H. There May be persons who con that is Why the bourgeoisie aider that we have enough poets As it is. There May be even some who think we have too Many. But it seems probable that the writer in the Christian science Monitor has the Field to herself when she opines through More than a column that what this hour needs is another Wordsworth. Wordsworth she Points out was r. Preacher and his convictions were so profound that he made no subterfuge about try ing to bring his weary and sophisticated generation Back to simplicity sobriety and High Wordsworth she argues lived a tranquil ordered life and he de voted himself steadily to the work he he had a genuine conviction that duty a Good life were the Only things that so Wordsworth wrote and lived. So should the new Wordsworth write and live. It perhaps would not be amiss to Point out that the poet before he became so notably tranquil did the real William Shakespeare. There is a Story current that an author presented Stalin with a copy of his new Book and received it Back with the advice to read this we fear will not make the dear son of memory great heir of Fame popular with the writing set in Russia. However they will have Opportunity to take the advice since six shakespearean dramas were running this season in Moscow. These six however did not in clude which somehow does t quite fit in with the soviet theory. However there were Folk parading the rues of Paris crying Vive the police Felt it Only the better part of Law and order to order the foreign play off the stage. On the whole Shakespeare might be induced to Corse Back. He liked this planet in his times and found Mankind on the whole quite Good fun. They Are funnier now. But himself rather Well in the matter of a legacy and rather Nice living conditions All around. This com he would come Back into his living ghost ships of the Arctic eral nationalization of Industry.

The thoughts shipping men at the ghost ships said to sail with Seattle turned with their fur phantom silence set on voyages fleets to the Arctic and they do without ports and carried or ant tins. Yet in Saskatchewan the opposition which should prompt i in been supplied by the conservatives has vanished. Or. Gardiner has nothing bet ecu himself and his own followers out by Tlle Bureau statistics say but t it handful of Farmer labor members representing an electorate which undoubtedly got far too few candidates also for the number of votes it polled. In. Saskatchewan result in the most claimant manner and the Ontario result Only less so by a few degrees Are serious warnings or the incapacity of an electoral system which can the statement Given out by t elect legislative bodies so shockingly unrepresentative of the Bureau of statistics dealing i political opinions of the voters.

On the basis of Bureau calculations employment in May 1d3-1. Was Only s3 per cent of the employment of May 1930. Not hide the belief that the Hud Sou s Bay company s lost steam ship the Bay Chimo has become a phantom of the Arctic. Nearly four years ago the ice locked her and forced the Crew to leave her but each year since then she has reappeared somewhere either in Bering Strait or the Arctic sea and been seen again. The Bay Chimo loomed up As in the Wake of her Mirage last sum Mer to the amazement of the Crew of a United states coastguard Cutter but the Shoals and floes made approach impossible. She had drifted when seen a few weeks later by the skipper of the Schooner c. S. Holmes and then unmanned with prow erect she was carried away by a current that took her again into the pack. Where the Bay Chimo is held today or a Bethe her Hull still rises hopefully above water level or rests on ice floor nobody wafted toward first recovery and then restored to the despotism of the ice Power has concentrated by Tom King.

The victors in Saskatchewan and Ontario it May be hoped Are an Are of All these encumbrances on their tremendous victories and if they recognize the realities of the situation by Forward electoral reforms which give All parties an 1930, or. Bennett had a Good Deal to say about i he shocking conditions of unemployment then Preval ent in Canada the responsibility for which he charged without qualification to the mistaken policies of the government then in office. He undertook to remedy this state of affairs with no delay if Given Power. The Success which has attended or. Bennett s efforts to improve upon the conditions of 1930 is accurately registered in the comparative figures issued by the Bureau of statistics. Even break a the polls they themselves May live to Benefit from such legislation when next they have to go to their electorates. A in the Normal Progress of time they must do.

Would that mine enemy would write a Book is not a wish of recent Date. It has got so that if one writer Speaks Well of another a murmur of log rolling goes around.

To five thousand dollars for any individual or corporation Are among the highlights of the recent ses Sion. On the other hand it was this Congress which at its 1933 session passed the National Industrial re covery act. And the agricultural adjustment act. The . To some extent Luis proved a disappointment. By in creasing the cos of production it retarded rather than stimulated Liberal Industrial policy is based neither upon Raissez Faire nor upon socialism. It proposes a wide series of practical measures intended on the one hand to maintain private Enterprise on the other to purge the system of the Many evils which discredit its working and endanger its stability. Until our country can rid itself of those evils there will be no steady Effort by the whole people to attain a full and lasting or Many of them shaped being the demand for goods.

Will this fact have any influence upon the Campaign now going Forward in England to eat Empire eat products that is. Been told of ghostly vessels locked far within the Polar sea but the tales gained faint credence. Yet the Bay Chimo sailed once More after she had been thought to be sunk. Can there be other ships still surviving though it is Long since they had to be deserted and they disappeared Many ships have gone into the Arctic and have not returned.

It is perhaps Inie however that the whole argument on War debts is now nothing More than an Exchange of words on a dead Issue not american legislators have indicated the least Chance that his that they Are against receiving Trator of the agricultural adjust ment act. However it May be safely said that All the legislation passed by this Congress followed this same general trend of centralization. One function after another which from time immemorial has been exercised by the various states is now being exercised by the Federal govern ment. Moreover this newly a i from be new statesman and nation Mussolini s speech in at a blow All the propaganda that is put about concerning the economic advantages of fascism and of italian fascism in particular. He painted a grim picture of the state of his country and found an even Grimmer Rem Edy.

Gorky May be right but it May be that the writers Are Dis playing discretion meditation upon their own and others Virtues being a comparatively harmless exercise and leading to fewer complications than a russian official their literary output. This consideration was forced on us by the notice in a Moscow paper that Shakespeare was the coming dramatist in those parts. It is the intention of the theatre of the revolution there to stage Romeo and As a class War Shakespeare would scarcely be surprised at any thing Mankind could do but if he revisits the glimpses of the Moon and studies the billboards that one is going to give him a slight Jar. It seems that the ill starred pair and their love is litmus paper Register ing the social conflicts of their they Are in conflict with their class and they perish because i prom the Calgary Herald it has been an established habit among Soapbox orators for Many years and even among Many others who should know better to assert that the daily newspapers of Canada select their news care fully and publish nothing which might reflect on leading advertisers. How fallacious this assertion is has been proven by the voluminous reports published daily of the proceedings of the Stevens committee in Ottawa. It May not be out of place to contrast this loyalty of the daily newspapers to their readers with the policy of what May be called party group sheets. Communist organs print Only what is favourable to their cause and damaging to the same observation can largely be applied to labor organs. They Are propaganda sheets pure and simple. Even the . Publication of this City Dis plays Little chivalry to its opponents in its news or editorial columns. It plays a one string fiddle and does not give its readers Opportunity to study All sides of question. If the Stevens nothing else it has Dellion Strateff the essential fairness4 and sound Ness of he so fall fwd capitalistic today s scripture quire centralized Power has been budget deficit in the High Cost vested by Congress in the presi living heavy taxes and reduced Dent. Perhaps something of this kind must always happen in a time it Means simply what it says will be adopted. There is not the least Chancy that the British government my buy commodities and ship them to the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington. If that is what or. Hull Means Nis idea is outside the of practical politics. For one thing the american con Gress not accept payment in that Way. Senators and representatives in both parties have already de hostility to senator Large consignments of British goods for nothing. They Are probably no More in favor of letting Down the . Tariff Wall enough to permit British traders to pile up a favor Able balance in the Normal course of Trade. The British for their part seem definitely to have taken the position that the War debt should be cancelled or reduced to a final single payment. If these Are the positions of the two parties to the the Hull pro controversy discussion about pay Republican ments in kind is really beside the the debt paid at Point.

There was English veal and new zealand butter Indian Rice and australian pears. The roast beef is mentioned without a tag but of course it could Only be the roast beef of old England and of the old eng Lish roast beef. The Point which As Canadian one cannot help but notice is that there is no mention of Canada. Lively recollection of what the old land can do in the matter of alleged bread makes one piously Hope for the Sake of the diners that the Rolls were from Canadian flour but that must re main in the realm of conjecture.
