FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1930 MR. SINCLAIR WAS RIGHT . Although the Hon. \W. IL. Price, attorney-general of Ontario, was inclined to ridicule the demand. of W. E. N. Sinclair that a royal commission 'be ap- pointed to investigate conditions in the Ontario stock markets and brokerage offices, there is a grow- ing feeling that Mr. Sinclair was right. Each day brings new revelations that things are far irom be- ing right in the brokerage business, and the recent arrests and conwictions of men prominent in finan- cial and brokerage circles have not tended to allay . the strong public feeling that the time is ripe for some drastic action to clear up the situation, The Finangial Post, which is considered a highly "| reputable journal, makes no bones about its charges of illegal methods by brokerage offices. It is, per- haps, by reason of its specialized character, in a . better position than the average newspaper to com- ment on these things, and it comes out bodly and Fithout quibbling and says that millions of dollars have been stolen from patrons of brokerage offices who did business on margin. It goes farther than that. , It says that the attorney-general has informa- tion in his possession which would warrant him tak- ing criminal action against certain. brokerage firms. That assertion, by as reputable a paper as the Fin- ancial Post, coupled with the definite charges of Mr. Sinclair, seem sufficient to convince the public that an investigation of a very thorough nature is jus- tified. Surely Mr. Price, having the official position of attorney-general, cannot claim that he does not know of the things to which Teference has been made. Ii he is ignorant of conditions such as have been specified by Mr. Sinclair and by the Financial Post, then there is something radically wrong in his department. If he has knowledge of them, then he will 'have 2 hard time making excuses for his failure to take the situation scriously enough to have an in- vestigation thorough enough to satisfy public opinion. 'After all, the chief necessity is that the situation | shail be cleared up in such a way as to restore public' confidence in stock market dcalings. That confid- ence has had some rude sh <ks recently, and failure to take any definite action can only serve to con- firm public opinion that there is something seriously wrong. W TERRIBLE FIRE WAST The Canadian Chamber of Commerce has decided to take an active part in the campaign to reduce the terrible firey losses from which Canada suffers from year to year. By means of an inter-community coms peti in the reduction of fire losses and the pre- vention of fire, the Chamber is hoping to carry on an educational cffort that will have the result of greatly reducing the fird wastage that goes on from 0 year. bys Ch in Canada amount to approximately $i00,- 000,000 a ycar. This is waste, something lost which never be recovered, ang Canada can ill afford to have that loss. It makes its effect felt on industry "and business, it enters into cyvery phase of financing life, whether it be that of a community, a company, a man in business or an 'individual in his home, for fire losses have to be met through insurance, and in- surance rates remain a burden simply because of the high rate of fire loss. : : It is interesting to notc that as years pass there is a steady increase in loss from fire. Modern life, while it has perfected better fire-fighting apparatus, seems to have increased fire hazards at an even great- er rate. And it rests with the people of Canada to halt this loss; It rests with them to eliminate fire hazards, and to carry on so efficient a work, of fire p ion that the total will drop to ever lower 1evels, thus removing that wastc which has been a regrettable. feature 'of Canada's annual statistics, She LIFE INSURANCE GROWTH TE hee » Auking stoc fost de tonishing things revealed is the. tremendous grow in ain of life insurance carried by the people oi the United States and Canada. The latest figures 'available show that on July 26 of last year the amount of s one hundred and six billion dollars. In Canada dt the end of 1929; thg amount of elife insur- in force was six and a half billion dollars. "These are colossal figures, and yet it is only with- recent years "thet the growth in popularity of life vance as an investment has been rapid. prior to 1922, and including that year, Can- iad purchased three billion dollars of life in- y Inthe seven years since then, the amount 'has been more than doubled. ; hy 1900, the population of this continent has in. crease « vhi life in- d by 50 per cent, while the number of : OE ets has increased by 500 per cent, "and the amcunt of life insurance in force has in- eased from 8700000999 fo over $106,000,000,000, or gonsiderably over 1,000 per cent. life dusurance in force on this continent | k of the last year; one of the as-e In 411° There is, of course, a reason for this great growth An life insurance holdings. There was a time when a life insurance salesman was considered more or less of a nuisance. Today, however, he is 'one of the benefactors of the human race, since he points to an easy way for a man to make adequate pro- vision for his family after his death by the payment of comparatively small premiums during his life, and, in other forins of life insurance, he makes easy the days of old age for millions who are prepared to in- vest in that form of insurance when in their earning years. Another astonishing fact which is revealed in sta- tistics is that of all the property left by persons after death, 87% per cent takes the form of life insurance, This shows the tremendous extent to which widows and their children are dependent on life insurance for their maintenance and comfort during those. years which would otherwise be dark and dreary. This is because life insurance does what other forms of saving will not do. It provides an easy and a sure way of forestalling the future, of making pro- vision for death and old age in a way which offers certainty and security, factors which are only too often lacking in lative inv s. People are gradually being educated to the fact that life insurance is one of the necessities of life, that it is one way of saving money which makes that provision for old age and death which it is the duty of every man to make, and with that idea grow- ing, it is certain that in the next few years all the past records of life insurance, amazing as they may seem, will be lett far behind. A REAL SACRIFICE PROPOSED Before it is possible to grasp the full significance of Great Britain to abolish battleships as a part of a general agreement for naval disarmament, it is necessary to consider what the effect of such a step would be on Britain. It would mean, of course, a lightening of. the burdens of taxation, of the coun- try's expenditures, and that is always commendable, But, on the other hand, it would mean a grievous addition to the problems of unemployment with which that country is already wrestling. There are, in Great Britain, on the banks of the Clyde and the Tyne, great ship-building yards, which devote the major part of their activities to the construction of vessels of war of various types, ranging from the great battleships down to destroyers, mine-sweeping craft, and submarines, For these shipyards, and for the thousands of men employed in them, naval dis- armament is a serious question. It means the loss of their means of livelihood, the loss of employment, for even with the building of war vessels going on, there is not a sufficient amount of ship construction work to keep all the yards and all the ship-workers busy. ¢ To those men employed in the shipyards, naval a great sacrifice, yet it is note- worthy therc no protests, These men are prepared to suffer their losses, to meet their battles of life bravely for the sake of further- ing the cause of peace on earth, and for the sake of lessening the terrible burden of taxation under which the country is laboring. It is easy for those people who are personally disinterested to extol the virtues of naval disarmament and limitation, but when those whose bread and butter depend on it are striving to attain that end, even at the sacrifice of their jobs, one begins to understand how far the British people arc willing to go in the cause of world peace, disarmament means been that have EDITORIAL NOTES The school of experience produces some splendid graduates, but it has no free scholarships to offer. The optimists are those people who are today say- ing, "Well, the worst of the winter is over." The real spirit of charity is that which was shown by the Detroit firemen who refused salary increases amounting to $215,000, and asked that the money be used to provide work for ncedy men, Britain has abolished the speed limit, but has in- creased penalties for reckless driving." That may prove to be the solution of much of Ontario's high- way troubles. The movement to encourage Ontario farmers to use better seed is a worthy one. Ontario's soil is too rich and fertile to be polluted with weeds con- tained in low quaity seeds. Even if it did nothing else, the naval parley ac-. complished someth;iig when it got hundreds of thou- sands of people out of bed carly to hear the King's speech. The Hamilton father who brutally strapped his infant son on the night before the child died is de- serving of all the punishment that the law allows. Conditions in Oshawa are reported as improving. Here's hoping the impr i and that before long there will be no unemployment. Perhaps the reason why unruly sons receive very few spankings nowadays is that they are the only ones in the home who know how to fix the radio. A professor' says the talkie is becoming the logical successor to the teacher. He must be trying to be- come popular with the school children, With the opening of the Welland Ship Canal and the Hudson Bay Railway scheduled for this year, 1930 will go down into history as one of the big years of transportation development in Canada. Four hundred newspaper men are covering the na- val conference in London, That is one of the most eloquent signs that the days of secret diplomacy are over. "8 Another field of masculine supremacy is threatened with feminine invasion. A joman physician advises women workers to loat like men. London, Ontario, boasts that it has twice as many radio sets as Windsor.' That," however, may 'only mean that the Londoners are more conscientious what paying their license fees. + Fake policemen arrested a man in Detroit.

A Other Editor's Comments MORE FRIENDLINESS (Breton World) The editors of the Walkerton Telescope and the ine Re- view-Reporter are discussing the need of more friendliness, . The former introduced the subject by saying 'that he had been asked many times what is wrong with the town? In reply, he says it is not the town, but the people, and in support of this view he says in part, 'Jealousy is the enemy, The men of the town need a little more backbone, and the womep a little less card playing and the paying of a few more friendly calls, What is needed is not the so-called social calling but, entering the homes with a friendly smile, a good book, or a few flowers. What would this mean to the aged, sick and shut- in ones, To my mind it would be much better than sending a hun- dred wreaths to place on the cas- ket. If the spirit of gentleness and love were culitvated more and the deadly jealously were stamped out gus town would be one of the est."

As long as anybody has any« thing to sell; as long as peo ple read and as long as man's futile mind continues to in. vent mew things, advertising will continue as the energetic impulse behind it. The radio, the television and fast mail delivery will have their rightful place in the new order of things, but without goods to de- liver and unless people generally know what it's all"wbout there will be little traffic for airplanes or other air vehicles to he invented. The radio will continue to amuse (if they ever muzzle the static) and give emergency news, but as a dally dose any hour in the day for the man at work or the busy house-wife , it gscems as far away as the sun from the earth, WITH NEW VEHICLES OF TRANSPORTATION AND TRANSMISSION WILL COME | considering something over which | When a good sample of seed | in well-pre- | man has gone as far | The yield then depends !

THING IN THE PUBLICITY FIELD, That Body of By [ames W. Barton, M.D. REMOVING PHYSICAL DEFECTS CURES MENTAL AILMENTS 1 have spoken before about a patient who had to be confined to a mental hospital for two years, with no signs of recovery, Two months after the extrac- tion of some teeth and filling of others, the superintendent noticed an improvement in the condition. She gradually recovered and was discharged from the hospital, The superintendent had denta: work done on other patients and found that the infection--the poison from the teeth---was really the cause of the deiusions or hall- ncinations of the patients, When these were removed tho patient lost these delusions anu hallucinations. And you rememucr when some one in your family was {ll that h: or she got some stiinge ideas into their heads. Sor "times they fears, strange noises in the head, 'visions' of various kinds, excit- ability, stupor and other condi- tions, Dr. G. A. McLarty presents a case in which a patient with tonsilitis thought she was in a train wreck; a case of typhoid fever where the patient (of modest cir- cumstances) thouzht he owned a Itolls Rcyce and had his own chauffer; a case of sinus trouble with pus formation who insistea on going to Niagara Falls; an acute heart case where the patient thought the people were preparing for 'hor to die; a case with a kia- ney ailment where 'he patient had most unusual visions; a patient with jaundice who was terribly de- pressed and irritable; a = case goitre in which the patient thought that people were following him and trying to kill him; a case of per- nicious anaemia where the patient was very drowsy and sleepy dur- ing the day and at night had ter- rible visions and became frightened and noisy; patients ith fears and hallucinations following surgica' operations. All these patien., became free from mental disturbances when they recovered from their physical ailments, Do you wonder therefore that many of our ment:. hospitals can now show a recovery of 60 per cent. of the'r admissions? Do you wonder that they all have dental clinics, and dentists that give their fu. time to this work? Now what about this for all of us? It may be that some of our de- pression, our fears, our head noises, our 'big' idcas, or our 'in- feriority complex' may be due some 'chronic' poisoning. Certainly where an individual has always been mormal, and his parents before hin, and he be- comes 'strange' in , 18 manner, an investigation for some physical defect should at once be made, are delusions, "n The province of Manitoba won the highest aggregate score on but- ter shown at Canada's famous win- ter fair, the Royal Agricultural show at Toronto.

'Focal infection may also be noted, certain results of which are serious. Some of these con- ditions are readily noted on the side of the face affected by the /aulty teeth, When the cause of the disturbance is removed the condition is relieved and only in the severe cases of infection is any after effects due to give trouble and even in these severe cases will the removal of the cause the more severe ocular condition may be healed, (To be continued) Salmon canned in British Col- umbia is exported to over 30 coun- tries of the world.
