Every . feeble- minded person is a potential crim- inal. Such have no check «in their desires. Given certain circumstances, they become criminals. Are criminals born or are they made by their surroundings? Most students of crime as well as observ- ers of heredity claim that crimin- ality is not hereditary. What is un- doubtedly inherited is some form f mental defect. Two thirds of the inmates of one of our greatest en- itentiaries have been shown to ave some mental deficiency. In the case of one hundred criminals, each of whom had been convicted at least four times, twelve were insane twenty-three feeble-minded and ten epileptic. Crimi lity, immorality, improv- idence, d unkenness, are not inher- ited as such--they are, in many cases, merely manifestations of fee- ble-mindedness. It is the feeble- mindedness that is hereditary, not the criminality. Criminals as such am not horn. potential criminals of mi: 11 !" Mr. Meighen calls for the restora-I tion of tarif! protection as a means of reviving industry and of provid- ing employment for the workers who are leaving the country by hundreds of thousands every year. Tariff protection is what is needed to bring back confidence and to set. the machinery of‘ production in mo- tion from one. end of' the countryto the other. It is only under the shield of tariff protection that Canada can live tolerahly beside the greatest and most heavily protected country in the world. Not even will the iFree Trade theorist deny this. There could he only one outcome of the long continuance of the present state of affairs in Canada. and that is the waning Of Canada and the waxing of the l'niied States. Canada must have protection and that not stinted protection. but a measure of it suf- ficient to diminish very greatly the present tariff odds in favor of the l'nited States. In declaring for the restoration of protection. Mr. Meighen makes himself the spokes- man of' the people of Canada. The Canadian farmer is no less interested in protection than is the Canadian manufacturer or the Cana- dian workingman. Protection for Canadian producers means the building up of the home demand for the. farmers‘ produce. The more. the population of workers in our towns and cities increases and the output of their well-paid labor ex-i pands. the more capacious becomes the t’arnmrs' domestic market. Pro- tection has made the home market of the l'uitcd States the principal market. of the l'nited States farmers. The l'nited States farmers have be- come more concerned to conserve that home market than to have the foreign market worked up in their interest. That is because only about ten per cent. of their wheat crop can be spared for exportation. Our own wheat. ought to be ground in tflauada. and. as far as possible. all products of the Canadian farm should be brought in Canada to the tinished state required by the ul- timate consumers. Industry in this country has been' starved where it. ought to have been enriched. If we had a proper na-- tiunal policy. our raw material of all kinds would he exhaustively treated here. the wages‘ fund mul- tiplied. commerce would be a mat- ter of repeated turnover. our rail- ways would have far more to do. and the countrv would flourish as it never flourished before. Instead of letting the United States pump scores of millions of dollars of cash from this side of the border to pay for coal. it shouldl be the policy of our Government to connect. our deâ€" mand for fuel with our own sources? of fuel supply. That policy has been advocated in this newspaper for some time. It is is pursuance of national policy. and it is called for in the interest of Canadian unity. No bonds between Provinces can be stronger than the bonds of recipro- cal trade. Canadian statesmen must labor to promote such reciprocity between Provinces. All the prob- lems of this country would yield to a generous national policy. Our revenue problem. our debt prob- lem, our taxation problem, our trade and industrial problems, our differ- ences between Provinces, our trans- portation questionâ€"all these would find their solution were a truly na- tional policy. such as Mr. Meighen has outlined, adopted. - “Why are fish so slippery?” was a question put to a fishmonger the other day by a lady customer.

It is the feeble- mindedness that is hereditary, not the criminality. Criminals as such are not born, potential criminals are, because they inherit these men. tal defects which predispose them to a life of crime, or some other ab- normal or unsocial pursuit. Of the non-hereditary influences predisposing to crime are: alcoholic parents, immoral environment, un- congenial homes, poverty, divorced parents, evil associates, crime dis- played in the press, or in the movies, 31.13 Vtflhénbadrinfliience of correc- tional institutions. There is a direct connection be- tween hereditary feeble-mindedness and such social problems as poverty, vice, drug addiction and other phases of delinquency. Poverty cannot be banished as long as feeble mindedness is slowly increasing among the great popula- tion. These mental defectives can- not compete with their normal and energetic follows in their struggle for existence. The higher grade de- fectives become criminal and im- moral, and the lower grades gravitate to institutions for the feeble-minded.

This is expected, and no conversation is even required to negotiate the ar- rangements. But if the stranger is tired, he is “out of luck,” because hospitality in Congoland is ex- pressed in a strange fashion. To give their guests a real welcome, the host and hostess gather all of their neighbors and friends around their home and plan for the even- ing’s entertainment. They dance for for him and are so anxious to give him a pleasant visit that they keep 'the dance up all night. He is ex- pected to appreciate it, and natur- ally. should not show any signs of fatigue. After a sleepless night, he is surprised to find his hostess is out in the fields, bright and early, with her cigar in her mouthâ€"bew cause in Congoland only the women smoke, the men prefer to take snufl. They consider smoking efl‘eminate. The women not only do all the heavy work in the fields but sell the produce as\well. The men take over the domestic duties.
