TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1929 T------ HOOVER'S INAUGUARAL ADDRESS In his inaugural address as president of the United States, Herbert Hoover said very little more than he was expected to say. His address followed well-defined lines of policy, but they were exactly what had been forecast by him in his cam ,aign speeches, and contained nothing of an outstanding nature. The one part which had a more serious interest for Canadians was his reference to the need of tariff revision to help the farmers of his country. That, of course, is taken to mean that the tariff will be increased on farm products which go from Canada into the United States, with the idea of keeping Canadian competition out of the country to 'the south, That country, of course, has the privilege of doing as it pleases in the matter, but it may be a serious business for some gections of the Canadian agricultural industry if the threat is put into effect. Hoover's remarks regarding the United States' desire for world peace, and for working with other nations to bring about that much-to-be-de- sired 'condition, would have had more effect had the reference to the League of Nations been omit- ted, In effect, Hoover said that the United States was quite willing to work with other nations to ensure permanent peace in the world, but only on'* condition that it entailed no respomsibilities on the part of the United States. This policy of in- sularity is pot peculiar to Hoover It has been the chart and compass of the last two presidents of the United States, and he probably felt on safe ground, politically, by reiterating it. It is interesting to note, however, that when Hoover was a candidate for the Republican nom- ination in 1920, his opponents' strongest objection to him, within the party, was that he was not suf- ficiently insular in his outlook to suit them, He was condemned then for having an European, rather than an American viewpoint, His inaugural utterance, however, should free him from all charges of being international in his outlook, since he holds up as his standard the old policy of America living within herself and for herself. The' problem of the enforcement of the prohibi- tion laws was dealt with as might have been ex- pected. A national commission of investigation is to be appointed to go inte the question, and it will probably leave things exactly as it found them, The greatest need of the United States in enforcing the .rohibitory laws is that sufficient men of honesty and high principles, men who can- not be bribed, be found to act as the officers com- ing in direct contact with the law enforcement. An investigation would probably show a deplor- able amount of corruption in this service, but whether it would be able to suggest remedies, without the inherent nec~ssity of honesty on tht part of every official, is questionable, Mr. Hoover stfuck the keynote of this part of his address when he pointed out the necessity of the citizens cf the nation showing a proper re- spect for the law before it can .be properly en- forced. He is right in this. No law can hope to be successfully enforced if it does mot have the support and respect of practically all of the people of the country, and it will only be when people realize the responsibilities of citizenship in this réspect that the Volstead Act will be properly en- forced. On the whole, it was a typically American presi- dential speech, but that, of course, was to be expected. The other countries of the world, look- ing to the United States for help in the solution of grave International problems, will find in it little t- arouse enthusiam, and little to indicate that the world can hope for much at the hands of the new president. BRITAIN PICKING UP The Chamber of Commerce of Sheffield, the centre of the English steel industry, is authority for a statement that the clouds of depression which have been hanging over Britain's essential industries are being dispelled, and that conditions are showing signs of much improvement, This is good news, for ever since the war one of the greatest troubles of Britain has been that a de- pressed industrial condition had created an un- employment situation which has cost the country tens of millions of dollars. It would be fallacious, of course, to form the impression that all is now well in Britain, -The country still 'has a long way to go before it reaches a normal state of activity, particularly ¢ . aly. Times in the coal industry, but that there is an improve- ment which is noticeable is decidedly encour- aging. "According to the report from Sheffield, foreign competition in the coal trade is weakening, ship- 'ping is more active, German coal has advanced in price until it is considerably higher in price than that of Britain, and the production of iron _ and steel 18 increasing. These are all signs which indicate industrial revival, and the hope of all British people, throughout the Empire as well as at home, is that these signs will be further justi- fled by the progress of the immediate 'future, ONTARIO'S ROADS Premier Ferguson made an announcement of major importance when he told the Ontario Good Roads' Association that the peak had now been reached in highway comstruction work in ' the province, and that in future the work of the highways' department would be largely devoted to maintenance. This announcement is important because it shows that the limits of the provincial highway system have been reached, and that any addi- tions made in the future will be minor ones need- ed to adjust certain 'territorial conditions which are working hardships on municipalities by com- polling them to keep up roads which carry, in many cases, just as much traffic as do the provincial highways, It is important, too, since it opens the way to new avenues of expenditures of the moneys re- ceived from motorists in the payment of gasoline taxes and license fees, That money, of course, should rightfully be spent on the roads, and if construction work is practically at an end, much money will be released for expenditures in other directions. It might well be that the govern- ment, having completed its system of main high- ways, should devote more attention to assisting the municipalities in bringing the minor roads, which are feeders for the provcincial highways, up to a higher standard of construction. The government had been doing some work of this kind in the past, but this should be the chief interest 'now that provincial highway con- struction is over, The highways are, for certain periods of the year, useless to a large proportion of the people who live on the sideroads an { back concessions, although they have to help pay for them. Improvement of the county and township roads, through a larger scale of governmental subsidy would be the logical development of the plan to give Ontario a network of highways to serve all its people, Then, too, the people of the cities might be con- sidered, and now that the main highways are prac- tically completed, it should be possible for the government to spend some money on the upkeep of those highway connecting links which, run- ning through the cities, bear the full velume of through traffic created by the provincial high- ways, yet have no share in the government funds for highway maintenance. This has long been a pressing problem with urban municipalities, and with money made available through the cessation of construction work on the main system it might well be possible for the cities to share in govern- ment subsidies to somewhat the same extent as the rural municipalities have done. The 'end of highway construction, too, means that the municipalities will be relieved of heavy burdens, for they have had to pay twenty per cent, of the cost of the system, and this has in many cases been a heavy burden, Relief from this will provide, on the one hand, a possibility of reduced taxes, and, on the other hand, the re- leasing of money for other needful purposes. The work of constructing Ontario's spléndid highway system has been no light one, It has cost tens of millions of dollars, but it has been money well spent, and it will in years to come bring rich returns to the province. Ontario has good reason to be proud of its highways, and, while it is apt to be forgotten, a large share of the credit must go to the vision and foresight of men like E. C. Drury and F. C. Biggs, who started the actual construction work of the great system which now includes nearly two thousand miles of perfect roads. EDITORIAL NOTES The honors list which was published on March 1 contains the names of many distinguished British citizens. But there will be at least some Canadians who will have a feeling that if it had not been for W. F. Nickle their names would have been there also. The death of Philip Pocock of London removes one of Ontario's strongest supporters of hydro power. His name will always be associated with that of Sir Adam Beck as one of the pioneers of the movement which has made possible much of Ontario's great industrial development. ~ Other Editors' Comment MONEY FOR EVERYBODY (St, Thomas Times-Journal) The Ontario Government made a clear profit of $7,019,944 out of selling liquor last year. But here's the rub for the Government--the Dominion made twice as much out of its excise tax collections, PATIENT BUT NOT WEAK (St. John Telegraph-Journal) There are very few in Canada but will heartily commend Vaara's sentence as exemplary, yet so moderate as to rule out any accusation of intolerance or persecution; and those few will do well to note what awaits them should they fall into Vaara's error. Canada has been patient, but Canada will not be weak. | - - Bits of Verse - - | tq "lance utmost care in sneezing).

VENT ULCER OF STOMACH (Registered in accordance with the copie Act), ou have been advised by your doctor and dentist to chew your food well and you naturally conclude that it is the breaking up pf the food into tiny parts that is Ymportant so that these very small pieces of food will be more easily digested when they reach the stomach. ow this is true all right but there are two other, jobs done by chewing that are equally as important, That is the moistening or softening of the saliva or digestive juice of the mouth, and' the mixing of this alka- line juice with the food, changing starch into sugar, It is this mixing of the alkaline saliva with the food, a chemical ac- tion, that is most important. Real strong alkaline food going down into the stomach stimulates the acid stomach juice to action. Dr. J. B. Hunter, Bristol, noting the rapidity with which wounds of the lining of the mouth stopped bleeding, and the firm clots of blood that occur, came to the conclusion that the saliva had the power to hurry the coagulation or clotting of the blood. Following this idea he tells us that there is present in the saliva a sub- stance that hastens the clotting of the blood. That the stomach juice with free hydrochloric acid delays clotting. That the delay is most marked in the presence of high acid juices such as occur in stomach and intestinal ulcer. His suggestion is that the stomach juice should be rendered less acid by the use of baking soda or other al- kaline substance. Not what is the here? Your doctor will tell you that his patients with ulcer of stomach or in- testine are usually high strung ner- vous individuals who do everything in a hurry. And one of these things they hurry is cating their food. You can readily see that by not chewing their food they let it go down into the stomach unsoftened by the saliva and with an insufficient amount of alkaline saliva on it. This food insufficiently broken up and softened can irritate the lining of the stomach, and breaking a small blood vessel on lining of stomach can start bleeding that is very slow in clotting, because of its insufficient supply of alkaline saliva. Chewing the food well should cer- tainly help to prevent ulcer of the stomach and intestine.

The Ice Age was not, Professor Gothan points out, a single period of cold. Instead it was divided in- to several glacial periods separate- ed by warm inter glacial periods. During these inter-glacial periods plants migrated northward behind the edge of the melting ice, leaving their fossils in a regular succes- sion, First came stunted bushes and grass plants like those which now grow on the tundras of Alaska and Siberia. Behind these, as the climate grew warmer, came forests of pine and birch trees. Finally, toward the middle of each warm inter-glacial period, the forests were of beech trees, as the natural European forests are now. When each inter-glacial period gave way, in turn, to renewed cold and ice, this plant sequence followed the reverse order; beeches were re- placed by birch and pine, these by the tundra, this, finally, by the ice. A few centuries ago, Profeszor Gothan believes, the present beech fcrests of Europe were larger than now. Already, he suspects, birch and pine trees have begun to sup- plant them; perhaps a sign that twenty thousand or thirty thous- and years from now the ice age will be back. LIQUOR CONTROL REVENUE SOURCE Would Pay Old Age Pen- sions in Nova ia, Says Report Halifax, Mar. b5.--Government control of the sale of liquor as one of six possible new sources of rev- enue whereby old age pensions might be made avallable to the aged residents of Nova Scotia is mentioned in the partial report of Commissioner H. E. Mahon, tabled in the Legislative Assembly which places at $2,200,000 apart from ad- ministration, the estimated annual cost to the province of adoption of the pension scheme in Nova Scotia. "The commission does not bes lieve," the report states, "that the present sources of revenue canbe increased sufficiently to produce any considerable part of the sum needed to pay for old age pen- sions," Various new sources of revenue that might be used, singly or in conjunction, are mentioned by the commissioner as "1) a levy on the muncipalities; (2) a provin- cial poll tax; (3) a provincial in- come tax; (4) liquor control; (5) fees payable by applicant; (6) a further Federal allowance, The eommissioner's figures are arrived at on the basis of condi- tions in Hants County, which, the reports states, within a considerable margin of error may be accepted as turns will diselnsa.

CANNOT COLLECT ON BEER SEIZED BY BORDER OFFICIALS Montreal, Que., March, b5.--Be- cause the purchase of a car-load of beer was an illegal transaction, notes given in return for the pur- chase may not be collected, it was decided by Mr. Justice Fortier yes- terday in dismissing an action of Nick Delmore, of Elizabeth, N, J., Against Victor L. Trudeau. Del- more sued for $5.500 on notes given him by the defendant in the course of a project which involved the running of a carload of beer into the United States. In defence, Trudeau said that Delmore and another man, named George Boss, had dejesited $7.000 with him in August, 1026, to Dare chase a car load of beer. The beer was subsequently seized by the Un- ited States border officials, follow= ing which he had gone to see the plaintiff and returned to him $1,500 in cash, and notes for the balance of $5,500.
