“Fresh from the Gardens”

Gpsartinicy ‘Knbske In 1933.:

Another year has gone, carrying’ with it into the limbo of the past an overful load of trouble, difficulties, losses and grief, but leaving behind a residue of problems to be carried into, and, we trust to be to a very large extent, solved in the new year, We can well afford to bid a lasting good-bye to all the unpleasantness and worries of the old year, holding on only to those Jessons which ‘have come to us out of the experiences of the past.

Our faces are now set to the future; our thoughts and our planning should be of it and for it. A calendar for 1933 hangs on the wall before us as we write. Three hundred and sixty-five days! What are we going to

a make of them? What are we going to do with them?

Conditions, happenings, ‘circumstances altogether beyond our power to ‘contrél will, of course, affect the trend of. world events and of our lives. These we must meet.as they come. It has ever been so; it will continue to be true. In this age it is perhaps true to a greater extent than ever before, because man, through his own God-given genius has brought. the whole world, and world influences, more closely into our individual lives. But, even ~‘so, the fact remains that, as individuals, we still remain the greatest factor in, the making or marring. of our lives. “We will start the new year aright if we temémber this great truth. : So, what are we going to do with ahd make of the year 1933? Are we hi entering it ina spirit of hopelessness and despair.sensing failure at the end? Or are we embracing it with gladness as presenting a new opportunity, a new hope, animated by a new confidence that substantial measure of success

will reward our efforts in the direction of individual, national and world betterment ?

Are we bowed aewn by a fatalistic Hen that nothing could be worse than what is, and therefore recklessly prepared to go to any length in the adoption of anything advanced as a.remedy no matter‘how desperate it may be? Or do-we still retain canfidence in ourselves, in our abilities’ and powers, to remedy the mistakes of the past, banish the evils, right the wrongs, and apply our individual intelligence and engrsies to the solution of the problems now confronting’ us? ‘

In this new year it will‘not be so much existing institutions, political and economic, that will be on trial, as it will be durselves, you and I as individuals, citizens of a great Dominion, of a greater Conimonwealth of

“4 ., °dNations, of a still greater world. These institutions have developed weak- nesses,~-that ,is universally admitted,—reforms are called for and must be

about, by us, first, as individuals, and secondly as indtviduals working co- operatively together.

The errors resulting in present difficulties are man-made errors; it is the

_ human factor that has’ failed to function properly, rather than.the systems and machines. And .it is the human factor, that is you and I individually and collectively, who are mainly at fault. It is in ourselves, in our way and manner of thinking and living, in our ambitions, that weaknesses’ have “deyeloped; it isin ourselves that reform is most urgently needed. It is

upon us that the responsibility rests to so direct systems and poveRn

machines that they will work and not be thrown. out of gear.

This thought brings us back to our original question: ‘What are we going to do with the 365 new days now presented to us? Are we going to grasp them, bend them to our will, make every minute of every: one of them work to our individual and mutual advantage? Or are we about to throw up our

“hands in despair, and say: What’s the use? Are we going to fight a gallant

battle, or ignominously surrender and admit defeat? Are we to deny our

mae | 'God- -given intellects and powers, our.,dearly bought birthright of individual

Py : ‘ 4 ; Aiberty and freedom, and be content to forego our responsibilities and be- eee’ “come mere cogs in a machine?

Rather, does not this new year beckon us to a reassertion of our individ- suality, ‘to”acnew application of our powers to our own problems? As we look back for a moment over the past years; can we not discover that we enjoyed the greatest, happiness, entertained a greater self-respect, yes, felt a greater satisfaction in life and reaped a richer reward therefrom, when we fought

aa our own battles and relied upon our own efforts than in -these later years j “when so many have depended upon others to help them rather than made an extra effort'to help themselves? Did we not feel more like men when we shouldered our own burdens, and gave.a lift to others more ‘heavily , burdened than,ourselyes, than we possibly can feel’ in giving up the fight, and shifting our burdens on to others, even though Be “others” be ‘the community and nation as a whole?

Canadians are a self-reliant people. They have fought a good fight during the past three years of depression. It has been a hard fight, a fight i against. heavy odds, and, in many respects, against factors beyond our own control, and the battle isnot yet ended. But it will end, and end in victory if ive do not weaken. Factors undreamed of a few years;ago are coming up : as. reinforcements because the depression has taught the world lessons it - oo ‘would never have learned in years of prosperity. These. Jessons are along ig “constructive lines; not the destructive proposals which always are advanced when people are perplexed and in trouble: This new year can carry us far | > falong the road to victory if we use it aright. And the right way. to use it is ‘to apply our individuality to the problems that lie at our hands, just as did

Investigate Cosmic Rays

Prof. Piccard Plans Balloon Ascen- sion In Hudson Bay Area

Plans for balloon ascensions in Bel- gium next summer and in northern! Canada in 1984 have been announced by Prof. Auguste Piccard, who has made the farthest trip from the earth on record.

It was not certain whether he him- | self would participate in the flights.

Prof. Piccard plans to sail in the near future for Canada where he will study possibilities of an ascension in the vicinity of the north magnetic

Canadian Arctic. A new. ascension,. Prof. Piccard said, was necessary to clear up the

question of whether cosmic rays

originate from stars or galactic nu- ciei,

tf the former'be true, he said, the secondary “soft” rays deviated by the earth’s magnetic field ought to best be detected at high altitudes near the magnetic pole in the Hudson Bay region.

He said that the power of the cos- mic rays was such that, previous to

"their striking’ the atmosphere, a drop,

of water under their influence would be liable to yield .sufficient-electricity to provide New .York with several

‘|hours of light.

Works On a System

French Statesman Always Organizes Time To the Minute

M. Herriot,. who is much in the public eye just now, was recently described by the News of the World as éasily the most picturesque figure in French politics today. Short and stout, with sallow complexion’ and heavy, dark eyebrows, he is as ac- tive as a schoolboy, and has a school- boy's high spirits, He is also one of the very few French statesmen who are devoted to pipe-smoking. He was the son of a widowed mother in- poor circumstances, and by: dint of hard study he became a professor of his- tory and literature at one of the uni- versitiés. He is still a prodigious reader, and has written many books on politics, music, and . literature. When asked how he has managed to indulge his literary leanings in addi- tion to fulfilling his. heavy adminis- trative duties—he has been Mayor of Lyons for 25 years—he says, ‘It is just system. ” He organizes his time to the minute. It was his excellent work at Lyons that brought him his first Government appointment—that of Director of Revictualling during the war—and since then he has never been far from the centre of French politics.

Valuable Mah Jong Set Belonged To

Chinese Governor Efrem Zimbalist, violinist, has re- turned to New York from the Orient with what he -believes is the» nfost superb mah jong set in existence, This object and many more are in the recent accessions sections of the

The mah jong set belonged to the Governor of Shantung and the money with which the violinist bought it helped to pay for the Governor’s: fu- neral. It was sold because -money was needed for the elegant funeral necessary for such a dignitary. Every piece in the set is of an ex- tremely beautiful type of agate. In each piece the proper figures are carved and the ihdentations are in- laid with precious stones. . The color scheme is dazzling. The violinist un- derstands that his mah jong set is perhaps 300 years old and that it cannot be duplicated today.

_ Java’s New Currency

Merchants Accept Cigarette Coupons In Payment For Anything

They're using cigarette coupons for

money in Java. A fat roll of these;

“greenbacks” and yellowbacks” Will buy anything from soup to nuts and you have Carl H. Boehringer’s word for it. Coupons are being used as ten- der to buy meals, clothing, phono- graph records and even motor cars.

Boehringer, who is Assistant Trade Commissioner at/Batavia, in cabling the. Department of Commerce at Washington .about Java's _ financial problems didin’t say how many cou- pons will produce a bill of sale for an automobile, but hinted that busi- ness in this ‘paper’ is so active that various enterprising individuals are now carrying on a brokerage. busi- ness in them.

Pity the poor ‘Sivvancnos-ahouais For some time past, said Boehringer, ac- tual money among the natives has become increasingly scarce and ‘dur- ing the recent rice harvest laborers were paid not in money but in kind.

Cigarette coupons came into the monetary picture ‘when various do- mestic producers began active ‘com- petition and each issued coupons re- deemable for various articles. With money almost impossible to ‘get the natives, through necessity, embark- ed on a new currency progromme, swapping, buying and ‘selling, and gambling for this-new “money,”

Need for real money has not. di- minished, despite the fact that the situation is aggravated by the fact that the opportunity for work on the large estates is being reduced while wages are being consistently scaled downward. Natives, although receiv- ing less money, found no -diminution in the need for it, as land taxes, back debts and purchase of fertilizer had to be maintained. “

EGGS GAVE HER INDIGESTION

When this woman of 72 years found a remedy for her indigestion, it proved to be one her 70-year-old brother was already using to keep him “‘a perfect picture of health.” She writes:—

“For years I had suffered with in- digestion, and simply could not eat an egg or a potato, I took an aperient regularly, but still I suffered. I began this year taking a small dose of Kruschéri Salts. Now I can eat eggs and potatoes and enjoy them—with- out any after-trouble.

“My brother is a perfect p'cture of health, and a splendid advertisement for Krugchen Salts. Hs is always bright and happy. He never forgets his-morning dose—neither do I, now that I know the. value of it. My brother is 70 years of age, and I am 72 years. We have reason to bless these valuable salts. I recommend friends.” —(Mrs.)

Soviet State Pires ~ Not Delivering Grain

Have Fallen Down . Badly In Deliveries To State

The state farms. to which . Soviet government looks not only to furnish approximately one-seventh of its grain resources but also to set an example for collective and individual peasants, were pictured ‘as having fallen down badly in their deliveries of grain to the state. ;

Acknowledging that this branch of agriculture had fulfilled only 77.8 per cent -of the collections assessed against it and supposed to be com- pleted December 15, the newly-creat- ed commissariat for grain and cattle breeding state farms issued stringent orders for immediate improvement in

the situation, which it described as —

“shameful.”

It condemned those farmis in Si- beria, Eastern Siberia, Western Si-. beria and the Urals as most back- ward, directing attention to the fact that the East Siberian trust had the worst showing, with only 56 per cént of the collections completed.

Placing responsibility directly on the shoulders. of the individual direc- tors of the state farms, the orders threatened them with arrest and trial.

American Farmers In Bad Way

About Forty. Per Cent. Of Farm Lands Under Mortgage

Approximately 40 per Cent. of the farm lands in the United States are under mortgage.

This was the estimate of Eric Englund, assistant ‘chief of the Bu- real of Agricultural Econontics, to the House appropriations. sub-com- mittee at hearings on the annual agricultural department supply. bill.

About five per cent. of these farms, Englund said, have-mortgage debt in excess of their value; abo&t 10 per cent. debts from 75 to 100 per cent. of their value and 21 per cent, debts from 50 to 75 per cent.

Much of this indebtedness is belong wiped out through the drastic fore- closure method, he said.

Some New Light Is Thrown On Constitutional Develo pment

As It Applies To The Déuuiinisla

At the last annual meeting of the Royal Institute of International Af- fairs in London, England, the report of which has just been received in K.C., president of the Canadian Institute of International Affairs, réferred to the fact that when the new Spanish Re- public was recognized by the British Empire, six different instruments of recognition, instead of one as_here- tofore, were deposited—one for each of the nations comprising the British Commonwealth, Mr. Rowell went on to say:— :

“As a result of the constitutional development of the past twenty-five years, and particularly of the past ten years, the relations. between the

Mother Country and the Dominions,

have fundamentally altered, and now we have six nations, all owing alleg- fance to a common sovereign, each entitled to conduct its own foreign policy, to negotiate its own treaties, and to deal generally with foreign af- fairs affecting it‘.along the lines agreed upon in the resolutions of the Imperial Conferences. That raises this important and fundamental is- sue: How is it possible to maintain

essential agreement in matters of |

foreign policy with six governments conducting foreign affairs? How is it possiblé to conduct the foreign rela- tions of the empire under. these con-

ditions and’ still preserve that meas- }

ure of unity essential to maintain the strength and security of the ‘whole? How is it possible ynder these conditions so to conduct inter- Empire relations that peace and har- mony will prevail among the differ- ent nations constituting the Com- monwealth ? How is it possible to set- tle disputes arising between mem- bers of the Commonwealth in such a way as will avoid conflict and con- troversy and maintain a good under- standing between them? These are questions of fundamental importance

upon the satisfactory solution of

which the future existence of the em- pire depends and without their solu- tion no one can foretell what the fu-

. ture of the Empire will be.”

The form which British recognition of the Spanish Republic took threw light on constitutional development and problems of the British Empire. The constitution of the Spanish Re- public itself throws light on constitu- tional problems associated with the inter-relation of all nations. The re- cent meeting in Madrid of the Gov- erning Body of the International La- bour Organization, attended by Cana- dian delegations has been a public re- minder. Into the very constitution of Spain have been written the Spanish obligations under the League of Na- tions and the International Labour Organization.. The more or less auto- matic ratification .of International

' Labour Conventions, for instance, is

provided for. At the meeting referred to Spain was congratulated upon leading the ‘world in the number of these ratifications, having ratified

_and carried into Spanish law, all of

the thirty-one except one. There have

been fourteen ratifications since April. Incidentally, because of federal

constitutional difficulties Canada has but four ratifications to her credit, the Irish Free State leading the Bri- tish Commonwealth with twenty-one.

Canadian Export Cattle

Great Britain Prefers Fresh’ Meat To : Chilled Meat

Great Britain prefers fresh meat to chilled meat and is willing to pay & premium for it. Professor J. W. G. MacEwan, who this summer accom- panied a shipment of cattie from the University of Saskatchewan to Smithfield market, London, made this statement to a gathering of the North Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Society of Technical Agri- culturists at Saskatoon. He doubted whether Canada could compete with the Argentine in’ the ‘chilled beef business,

Though the expense of shipping live cattle was higher the premium for fresh meat offset that. The ship- ment from Saskatoon topped the Smithfield: market, equalizing the best Scotch cattle. ;

One: objection that buyers made

was that the supply was not contin- uous. They did not wish to recom- mend to their customers an article of which they-. could. not een a steady supply. Professor MacEwan emphasized the immensity of the British market for livestock. That country’s imports of animal products were greater than the imports of vegetable products.

Lamb's trading post is situated on the edge of the Saskatchewan Swamps, thousands of square miles of marshes and shallow creks, one of the loneliest wilderness in the North, a hinterland which for centuries has known only the tralis of wild ani- mals, and the men who follow’ the fur.

Tom Lamb decided to create a big

ranch in the centre of this territory. He selected an island bounded by the Summerbérry and the Head rivers. This unnamed island has an area of 53,920 acres or roughly 81 square miles. There are 124 lakes on the is- land. They range from 10 to 2,000 acres. The lake shorés, plus the | creeks, give him 241 miles of trap lines.

Jesus’ Temptation In the Wilder- ness, verses 12, 138.—Straightway, immediately after His baptism with its assurance that He was the Son of God, Jesus felt impelled to go apart from others and in the lonely wilderness think out the course be- fore Him. The Spirit spoke to His soul. The Voice, though inaudible, was commanding, and He obeyed its behest.

“There had been a tremendous ex- perience, There was a new vision of life. Everything was disturbed, the whole spirit in tumult and turmoil. The fresh life needed to be assimilat- ed, and a revised orientation was im- perative. There must be absence of in- terference, at any rate from the nor-

Preparing For

Future War:

Scientists Believed To Be Working On Poison Gases

Jobn Drinkwater, British poet and playwright; believes poison gases and disease germs probably are being prepared on a large scale for war use,

Addressing the Institute of Arts and Sciences of Columbia University, Mr. Drinkwater asserted destruction of tities by these means in the next ten years is regarded as a possibility not grounded on “irresponsible pessi- mism.” ; :

“The scientist who is using his tal- ents for such ends is an anti-social menace of the most contemptible kind and<should be treated as such. Here is a campaign for the press to undertake that would bring it ever- lasting honor. :

‘Tf there is the smallest margin of doubt on this dreadful issue, a gen- eral condemnation by the govern- ments of such methods, and even an understanding not to employ them, is.not enough.” / 7:

He asserted governments should ascertain where such work is being done and “‘stamp it out as they would stamp out a nest of gunmen.”

Sketch Of Newspaper Artist Not, What It Looked Like |

| An amusing story as told by Sir | Philip Gibbs concerns an artist who | ‘was sent abroad by the editor of a) London illustrated paper. His job was | to make sketches of the country and the people. It: was however, his first | experience, and he made a mess of it, | the sketches he sent home being very poor, and at times quite unintelligi-' ble. The editor took him. to task | on his return, and told him that if he | could not make a recognizable sketch of anything it would have been far better to have indicated in writing | what the picture represented. ‘Take this one, for instance,” he continued, . picking up one of the artist’s sketch- es. “Since: you were apparently in such a hurry that you hadn’t time to draw it. more carefully,. why didn’t | you write above it: “This is a Wind- | mill’? Then our people would have known what it was intended for, in- ’ stead of which they had to guess.” “But it isn’t a windmill; it’s a man | on horseback,” replied the artist.

*,.@ For Coalition Roos Has Plans For New Govern- | ment For South Africa

Johannesburg, South Africa.—tTiel- | man Roos, former member of the} Nationalist Government, indicated that he intended to take the premier- ship df South Africa himself if his plan for a coalition government suc- ceeds.

The former judge, whe resigned last week from the appellate division of the supreme court, told interv:ew- ers he will declare openly for a coal-

ition government. - “We must destroy any remains of

racialism and the two sections must join to pull the country out of the muck,” ‘he said.

‘T shall say further,’ he added, “that neither General Smuts nor Prime Minister Hertzog can arrange for a coalition. If they could I should not be in the arena.”

Mr. Roos’ pronouncement created a deep impression. While he had re- turned to politics for the expressed purpose of attacking the government in which he once served as minister of justice, it was not thought he had any designs on the premiership him- self. -

His attack, which admittedly weakened the position of the govern- ment in the House of Representatives where its majority had already shrunk to a very small proportion of the’ membership, was based largely on his opposition’ to retaining the gold standard.
