Parke’s TONE Ontario Ottawa, April 13.â€"An avalanche of committee reports, supplementary estimates, last-minute revisions 3f bills, and the like, deseended upon Parliament in the last week of the session. For a day or two it was a five-ring circus. A few days must elapse before one can perceive the forest for the trees. The general spirit was one of willingneSS to co- operate with the government in gett- ing through in good time for the coronation. But the usual accumu- lation of odds and ends held up mat- ters toward the end. Parliament has a genius for discovering some ne- glected cause or contraversial tid-bit at the eleventh hour. o Garnet wheat, by the way, received a black mark in the annual report of the Board of Grain Commission- ers, which quoted British millers to the effect that they would not use it for milling if they could get any:- thing better. The German trade agreement, with Sam Factor, Liberal MP. for Toron- to objecting, received the endorsation of the House of Commons. It pro- vides, one remembers, for some low- ering of duties, and for a better balâ€" ance of trade, Canada having been buying quite a bit more than she has been selling, from Germany. (A Striking Debate) A debate which may go down into history as a turning-point or land- mark in the development of Canada’s constitution took place last Week, when the Privy Council’s decisions on the Bennett New Deal Reform mea- sures were discussed. I commend to all readers who occasionally look at Hansard the addresses by Hon. C. H. Cahan, J. T. Thorson, Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, and Hon. Ernest Lapointe on that oceasion. Financial provision is made there, also, for the creation of th royal commission to study the basis of Confederation. The government is reported to be approaching ominent economists across the water to f’nd a chairmanâ€"Sir Josiah Stamp is one of the names. Another $300,000 is voted for grants to the provinces for resettlement. Hon. J. G. Gardiner is evidenth going in strong for marâ€" keting of agricultural products: he Present-day stress laid on aviation, and the starting of the Trans-Can- ada Airway is reflected also in the estimates. An additional $915,000 is there for constructiori of airways, airports and radio stations, also a sum of $500,000 to assist municipali- ties along‘ the line of the Trans-Can- ada Airway to build new airports or improve the existing ones‘ (Fishing Industry Aided) Here is aid, too, for certain bran- ches of the fishing industry. Half a million dollars is provided to assist the ‘Dried and Pickled Fish’ branches of the fishing industry of the At- lantic Coast. War veterans are not completely forgotten, with $250,000 voted ‘to provide for the payment of allow- ances to veterans during a limited period of probati-onal training- under arrangements with prospective emh ployers.’ Irad $300,000 voted already, and novv there is a further surn of $100; 000 placed to his credit for this purâ€" pose. For those who have no access to The VWeek in Parliament Wilfrid Egglesmn That a stinging attack was made by Hon. C. H. Cahar. on the rulings of the Privy Council. He did- not mince matters; accused the judicialv committee of departing from their judicial status to enunciate high po- litical policy, of flouting the Canad- ian constitution and the Act of West- minster, of casting reflection on Can- ada’s power to make treaties, and of creating a new Imperial Executive Council as a sort of constitution] God which Canada had to worship. Hon. C. H. Cahan is sometimes held to be a reactionary Tory, but this address showed him up as a AssocnarwJfiiB'L‘mE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA INFANTILE PARALYSIS. OR POLIOMYELITIS So far as numbers g0, infantile paralysis is not a large as compared with other infectious diseases. On this continent, it amounts for about eight or nine hundred deaths a year while tuberculosis causes 77,000; syphilis 12,000; whooping-cough from 5 to 8 thousand; typhoid about 5000; diphtheria 5000 and automobile acci- dents about 40,000. I Hansard, it should be said Hon. C. H. Cahan is sometimes held to be a reactionary Tory, but this address showed him up as a stout champion of Canada‘s newly- won rights of autonomy. His ex- tremely able address was follOWed by a still more forthright assault on the Lords of the judicial committee by J. T. Thorson, Liberal member for Selkirk, also an eminent legal auth- ority. Mr. B-ennett‘ whose respect for the judiciary in all its aspects is extremely great, éiw no irrever- ence in criticism of the Privy Counâ€" cil, and Hon. Ernest Lapointe, the last speaker, made it abundantly clear that he favored an abolition of the appeals to the Privy Council in civil matters, thus placing them on a parity: with criminal matters, Where the Supreme Court of Canada is the last court of appeal. (Block Social Progress) The Privy Council decisions have. unquesfionably, barred early pro- greSS in social legislation. Practical minds are busy with the problem of finding a way around or through the barrier, Obviously what is needed is an amendment of the constitution. While we are doing so, many auth- orities think that Canada should be given the right to amend its own constitution. The general public are probably getting completely fedt up with this chatter about legal formal- ities; and some day they may say to Ottawa and the provinces in no uncertain terms: Do as you will with the constitution, but for heaven’s sake let’s start reforming things. The unemployed must be about tired of being told, when they make practi- cal suggestions looking toward better times, ‘Sorry, we can’t do that. The constitution, you know.’ These things give point to the early selection of a royal commission on taxing powers and social responsibil- ities. The sooner the path ahead' is cleared of constitutional debris, the more likely we are to avoid serious revolt from the long-suffering mass» es. Such is the view of the more progressive members. Sam Factor, M.P., one of the three Jews in the House, made what at least one observer felt to be one of the finest speeches of the session when he opposed the German trade agreement because he wished to reg- ister a protest against German perse- cution of an ancient race and its sup- pression of rights and freedoms which Anglo-Saxons have come to re- gard as an assured possession. (Attack on Police Spies) The activities of ‘secret_ service’ members of the R.C.M.P. were aired in a colorful debate to which M. J. Coldrwell and J. S. Woodsworth were chief contributors. The House was reminded that Sergeant Leopold, who provided the prosecution of the Com- munists in Toronto with much of its evidence, had been high in the off- ices of labor and communist organ- izations at Regina. Mr. Woodswm'th called him an ‘agent provocateur’ and pleaded for the abolition of such Offâ€" icers. Hon. Ernest Lapointe promâ€" ised that these men would not be pET- mitted' to interfere with legitimate labor activity, but he c0uld not agree that the R.C.M.P. should get along without such officers at all. Baker’s Repair Shop Religious comment over the ether was another subject aired during last week. Hon. Earl Lawson quoted passages of scripture censored from an address prepared by Rev. Mr. Zeidman of Toronto. He protested also against the banning of a talk on eugenics, in which voluntary steril- ization of imbeciles was to be dis- cussed. The special commission on veter- ans’ probleme failed to recommend anydzhing' very spectacular; and even at that the government felt not in- clined> to implement the advice it did tender.

No. 2 There are about ten paralytic cases for every 100,000 of population each year. There seems to be .less of the affection in all European countries, with the exception of Scandinavia, than on the North American continâ€" ent where “Polio” is more frequent in the interior of the country than on the seaâ€"coasts. Curiously one of the most intense epidemics occurred some years ago on an isolated! volcanic is- land called Naura 01' Pleasant island on the equator, with a population on its 8 square miles of 2,300. There were 700 cases, a rate of 30,000 per hundred of population. Another cir- cumstance was that but few of the patients were under 12 years of age. The natives were the ones chiefly affected. ChineSe and British work- ing for a British phosrphate company and who had been in contact with the outside world were almost com- pletely spared, a condition of things which seems to confirm the suspicion that persons who have been brought up in localities Where “Polio” is epi- demic, have become immunized through having had the infection in a very mild, sometimes unnoticeable‘ form. Measures of preventionâ€" . . . . . . . . ‘ Downsview Athletic Assoeiation Contact with cases of infantile paralysis should be avoided. Cases mild and severe, paralytic or other- wise, should be carefully reported. Since any paralysis in a given case comes on, as a rule, within three days of the onSet, it is not difficult for doctors to diagnOse the paralytic l cases. What about the value of convexth serum? There has been so much newspaper reference to the use of serum from the blood of cases that have recov- ered, that the public now demand the use of this remedy. Its value is, using the Scotch verdict, “not prov- en.” The highest authorities on the sub- ject are in doubt concerning the effi- cacy of serum in the control of dis- ease. Closing of schools in the face of an outbreak is, as in other infec- tions, useless since children mingle together out of school, am! are, under. such conditions, less under supervi- sion than if in school. Viewing- the success the medical profession has had- in the control of such diseases as diphtheria, tuber- culosis, typhoid fever, small-pox and many others of much wider extent than “Polio”, one may hold out the greatest hope that this one too, may yet be brought under control.

These wages are, of course, for men experienced at milking and plowing. Demand for single men is higher ,than for married men. FARM HELP IN DEMAND At Guelph, demands for farm labor were coming in steadily, with all re- quests being filled at $25 and $30 a month. including board and room. Wages in London were higher than last year; Experienced single men were offered $20 a month, inexperi- enced help $15 monthly.
