Voice of Canada, The Empire and The World at Large the Press CANADA 1t is the Only Way Severe penalties for reckless driving are by magistrates in the United Kingdom. One 20-year-old driver of a motor van was disqualified for 26 years from driving any motor vehicle, and fined $16 and costs. He had been driving a motor van which swerved across the road, mounted the sidewalk, knocked down a lamp stand- ard, and killed a pedestrian. His ex- planation was that a "jar" wrenched the steering wheel of the van out of his hands. Another young man, son of a former Secretary of State for the Dominions, was fined for reckless driv- ing and deprived of his license to drive for five years It is the only way to deal with those who so flagrantly abuse the convenience of a modern amenity and turn it into a menace.-- Ottawa Journal. Rioting is Futile The unfortunate incidents in London and Belfast show how useless demon- strations of this kind are to settle our present difficulties, Baton charges and revolver shots are certainly not going to provide food for the hungry and perience will show their value. But a certain measure of fairness is required of all who presume to discuss them.-- Leeds Mercury, Modern War Whatever happens, the mood that declares statesmanship to be helpless and war inevitable must be fought at all points. It was precisely this kind of fatalism which paralyzed the will to peace before the great war. But there is a difference between then and now. The pre-war statesmen had at least the excuse that they did not know what the war was going to be. The only war which the war-makers had in mind was the war of the Schlieffen plan, the short sharp strug- gle which was to lead to victory "be- fore Christmas." Post-war statesmen have no such excuse. They know that modern war is a sentence of doom for victor and vanquished.--London News- Chronicle. The Australian Loan By increasing taxation, cutting down all public expenditure to the bone, re- ducing internal interest rates, lower- ing wages and salaries all round, and drink for the thirsty. Everyone knows how the people are suffering. In un- happy days like these they are always | inclined to lay the blame on the social | order of the day and the detonating action of a few agitators is enough to cause an explosion. Imbued with re- | volutionary ideas, the latter take ad- vantage of bad times to excite the pas- sion of the crowd. They egg.it on against the authorities and forcible re- pression becomes a necessity. While honest and brave fellows are being killed, they sneak away and hide in collars and sheds.--Le Soleil, Quebec. Autumn Weather If the British Isles could be blessed in October with Canada's aeather the health and energy of its people would greatly benefit, Who that has ever inhaled the fine keen October air in Canada will deny this! If the tired pro- fessional or business man could only realize the extraordinary health-cure a month in the Canadian woods can give there would be heavier steamship bookings and increased longevity for the health-seeker, In its wonderful autumn climate Canada has an asset and an attraction of great value. It is vastly appreciated in the United States, as is shown by the great tour- ist traffic but it is not at all sufficiently known in the Mother Country.--Can- ada, London. Inalienable Advantages Recent evidence goes to show that Canada, despite some discourage- ments in the last few years is certain to retain and enhance her prestige as a wheat exporting country. Export figures issued recently show that Can- ada's output practically dominates the market --Fort William Times-Journal. Five Real Fathers Five fathers of Reigate, Eng. have been awarded certificates by the town council for their proficiency in know- ing what to do with a fretting infant, how to detect mumps and measles, and other skill in tending their small off- spring. These awards indicate that fathers can he adept in babycraft if they fry.--St. Thomas Times-Journal. A Bountiful Crop The prices of farm produce may be low, but the harvest is large. Every- thing that the farmer raises has been produced in abundance this year. He may not have much ready money, but he need not go hungry. Nature has been prodigal this year. Taken as a whole, the principal field crops in Can- ada have seldom attained such total volume as during the present season or been of a higher quality. Yields were generally satisfactory in each of the provinces, despite sectional re- verses due to' weather conditions or other causes.--Gananoque Reporter, Rest and Change * The editor of the National Revenue Review tells a good one about a mem- ber of Parliament for one of the Mont- real constituencies. The member spent « vacation at a fashionable resort this year, tad, when he returnéd, someone asked him if he had enjoyed the 'change and rest. "I really can't say," replied the M.P. "The bell boys got most of the change, and the hotel- i 'Keeper got. the rest." -- Border Cities i3 Star. i Vehicles in the Dark : Another case is reported from Cadil- i lac, where a farmer on the road with a waggon was run into by a car and ne of the horses either killed or badly Cases of this kind are hap- all over the province and they continue to happen until lights carried at night on all vehicles. A more deaths and casualties will | scheme will bear fruit. Anyway, it | 1s 'an economical _ form drastically restricting imports, Aus- tralia has managed to meet in full her obligations to her overseas creditors. It is now the business of those credit- ors not only to show their apprecia- tion, but also to help her to carry on the unequal struggle, by co-operating whole-heartedly - in her efforts to re- duce the burden of her overseas debt by well-judged conversion operations. By so doing they help not only Aus- tralia but themselves as well, for in these difficult times a wise cre itor will make it as easy as possible for his debtors to meet their obligations. --London Times. Peiping or Nanking? As things look in China to-day, the question of the site of the capital would no longer seem to be of any great practical importance, The Kuo- mintang party is losing its influence and power from day to day, and the whole country is breaking up, and will most likely end in some loose federa- tion of indépendent states. That is to say, for a long time to come there will be numerous sub-capitals but no cen- tral capital at all. Under the present conditions, therefore, the British and other Governments will be very ill-ad- vised to listen to the advice of those who wish them to move their legations from Peiping.--W. Lewisohn in The National Review (London). Arms and the League To bury one's head in the sand is not an intelligent policy. On the other hand, to try and recognize the facts as they are courts the danger that a bad tendency may be fortified and set up- on an irrevocable course. Those who before 1914 steadily foretold the Great War did their bit in producing it; for war is the climax of a general state of fear. By the same token faith is proved to be a practical weapon in human affairs. It follows that it is every serious person's duty to culti- vate confidence in peace .and to en- courage others to a like confidence. But faith against the light is difficult. When a man sees that the League of Nations whose essential object is the encouragement of a general belief in peace, has become so enmeshed in the policies of those particular politicians who least believe in peace, as itself to provoke an active sense of fear among large sections of the people of the world, then it seems wise to look facts squarely in the face with a view to mending them.--George Glasgow in The Contemporary Review (London). AMERICA Tit For Tat, and Quid Pro Quo "He that taketh the sword shall perish by the sword" is hard doctrine for tariff makers. United States ex- porters in textiles, in iron and steel, in glass, in telephone equipments, in automobiles and automobile parts, and in a dozen other lines will lose heavily as Canada puts into effect the Imperial preferences agreed on at the Ottawa Conference, minor hitches between Ot- tawa and London having been ironed out. With the British Islands, Can- ada's policy 1s quid, pro quo. With the United States it is tit for tat.--Brook- Iyn Eagle. me marae Aas Free Telegrams Increase Use of Telephone London -- Britain's campaign for more telephone subscribers, con- tinues, the latest advertising scheme being put into operation recently by the General Postoffice. Nearly eighteen thousand persons not now subscribers and whose names were collected by the district postoffices have received telegrams 'as follows: "I 'cordially invite you to become a telephone subscriber now, so that you may enjoy the advantages and comforts of telephone service,during the coming Winter.--Kingsle Wood, Postmaster General." ton The General Postoffice believes the of advertis-| ing, for the Postoflice is able to send balloon trip to Spiizbergen. years later, For An End to Wars By Henry L. Stimson, N.Y. Secretary of State. We have a right to take courage. . . For ourselves, we believe that even- tually the reign of peace will come. There will be among nations in re- spect to public war, war between na- tions, the same development that has been seen in individual communities in respect to private combat between individual men. We do not delude our- selves as to the difficulty of the road that lies before us nor as to the ob- stacles and trials which stand in our way We are well aware that it will require the utmost patience and faith. We know that all such developments in human organization are extremely slow. We realize that it took cen- turies to eliminate ordeal by battle in the settlement qf the individual quar- rels of individual men. But we are un- shakably confident that the same pro- cess is on its way among the nations and will eventually arrive. ey Christmas Tree Cutting Begins Montreal. -- The annual cut of Christmas trees for the United States market has commenced in New Bruns- wick. Already crews are out in Al- bert County, cutting for New York buyers. Several carloads are expect- ed out of Albert County this season. Most of the trees average from three to five feet in length, with some from twelve to fifteen feet for public de- monstrations. o-- Bars Pistols From Schools Knoxville, Tenn.--The school hoard of Knox County, Tenn, has barred the carrying of pistols to school. Other published rules include: Use of tobacco and chewing gum in the schoolroom strictly forbidden; mo intoxicants shall be permitted on school premises, and novels, papers and periodicals having no connec- tion with the studies are not to be allowed. mis nai eti-- Metered Taxiplanes Installed Berlin--Airplane taxis equipped with meters to calculate crow flight distances have been put into ser- vice at the Templehof Airport here.

Scott, of Cleveland, reported recently to the assembly of the Interstate Post-Graduate Medi- cal Association, Dr. Scott, a professor of the Medi- cal School of Western Reserve Uni- versity, urged early recognition and treatment of heart diseases. He said a majority of children suf- fer damage to the heart between the ages of five and 15 by rheumatic fevers which often are unnoticed or pass as "growing pains". "Ninety per cent, of the persons under 30 years of age who have died or have been invalided by heart dis- eases In this latitude have got their beginnings in these childish rheu- matic pains," he said. Dr. Scott recommended a treatment of prolonged bed rest and quietude., ---------- een New Service Will Carry Air Mail Across India A company is being formed which will establish a new airway across India, according to the Simla corres- pondent of The London Times, The service will supersede the pres- ent arrangement whereby the Delhi Flying Club has carried air mail be- tween Delhi and Karachi. That ser- vice's contract with Imperial Airways, Ltd., expired at the end of last year, but the club, in conjunction with the Jodhpur Flying Club, which provides a link at Falna Junciion with the Bombay mail, has run its service with only one lapse, due to a forced land- ing. The new company's machines will fly by the shortest possible route from Karachi to Moghal Sarai, a short night's journey fro Calcutta, where the mail will be transferred to the railway train for Calcutta. In default of facilities for night flying this arrangement will provide for as early a delivery in Calcutta as would be possible if the mail were carried the whole way by air, The mail for Delhi and other stations now served hours. from there will be dropped at Agra.

Many motorists have not used it for months. It should be inspected to determine that the valve iz opening fully and freely, and the operating mechanism is in working order. Spark-plug gaps that have made no appreciable difference in engine operation when the mercury Was continuously high will interfere with both starting and smooth running! when the range of temperature be-! comes autumnal. If plugs can mot be cleaned and reset to produce maximum efficiency -- apart from mileage records--they should be re: placed. Proper plugs will help con- siderably now, and a great deal lat er when the temperature gets really low. Several remnants of summer opera- tion should be removed from all cars at this season.

The niore of them of which the system is rid now by a thorough flushing with sal-soda, the beter prepared it will be for the anti-freeze solu tion which it will carry during the cold months. Another product of the season, we are told, may be a general looseness. Long periods of high-speed driving with vibration and jolting can hard- ly have failed to have their effect. Body bolts, Mr. Ullman advises, should be taken up not only to elim- inate noises but to prevent frame strains that inevitably occur when the body is allowed to weave.
