Ah, "Old English" at last! Even more impressed, after the 3000 mile trek from Montreal, than from Medford, in the past. For Montreal isnt English, old or new, but French-AMERICAN. Ontario, the home of the Quintuplets much the same. Winnipeg we would call Chicago-Canadian, and Edmonton, (after an hour's inspection) reminiscent of Spokane, 30 or 40 years ago. Vancouver has everything Seattle has including Painless Parker, but Victoria, the dear old "Vic" hasn't changed an eyelash in a quarter of a century, as English as kidney pie for breakfast, tea at four "thuty" and dinner at eight! And with the provincial parliament in session we find a dif ferent atmosphere, more soldiers than anywhere else (perhaps because it's the week-end and Victoria is a very small place) and more talk against the war and the government. Or perhaps that isn't strictly accurate. More talk against the present Liberal government, for this is rather a hotbed for the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, which refuses to follow the lead of the opposition (Conservative) and adjourn politics, for the duration of the conflict. No talk against the war as such, at least we have heard none. Our old newspaper friend, however, declares the "Reds" get to gether now and then, and say things which come pretty close to being seditious. But the British Columbians believe in free speech, and while Canada is under a pretty strict set of war regulations at present, there is no disposition to clamp the lid down tight. Incidentally this is the newspaper man, who told your corre spondent on previous occasions that if England should get into another war in Europe, Canada would not participate. At least that is what we understood him to say, not once but several times. He now denies it. What he did say was "WE wont' partici pate." And the "we" referred to the ex-service men of Canada, among whom he is pretty prominent. And he still sticks to that. Well we won't dispute it. It's entirely possible we interpreted the "we" incorrectly. We called his attention to our ex-service man on the "Trans- ' continental", who said he was ! he was needed. "Oh sure" was the reply, "I know Mr. X and he WOULD say that and mean it, in a sense. He is in politics and couldn't very well say anything else. As far as that goes, we all say it, if England ever really NEEDS us, we will be there and do our bit. But the point is she doesn't need us, not yet at least. And it's a hundred to one shot she won't. Under such circumstances one war in a man's life time is enough. We went through hell and high water In 1014, now it's up to those who didn't to do their bit. That's what I said would be the ex-service mans' viewpoint and it is. There are some exceptions of course but they only prove the rule." It didn't strike us as a particularly convincing argument, but it may represent the true low-down on the Canadian ex-service man's viewpoint. There is something more than sentiment in the contention that the lads in their 20's and 30's should volunteer first. After all Canada is only sending one division overseas, and recruiting another for reserves. That England will not need men in their 40 s appears likely enough. We attended two sessions of parliament, and while there are many differences, as far as procedure and atmosphere are con cerned, in the essentials, the performance might well have been staged in our own Washington, D. C, congress. The first speech was by the Conservative spokesman, a Mr. Maitland, who spent most of his time taking the hide off the C.C.F., and by implication, calling them traitors, turn-coats and all around reprobates. It shamed him to admit, that unlike the Conservatives, the Cooperative Commonwealthers refused to for get political differences, and support the established government, whereupon he quoted from several of the prominent members to prove that they were Communists at heart, and in an underhanded and underground fashion doing all they could to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the British government. It was pretty strong stuff, and when it comes to beating the breast and even more noticeably the table, we wouldn't say even Tom Connolly of Texas has very much on Brother Maitland. (Speaking of table-thumping the term must have originated in England, for it's the accepted form of emotional expression in Canada if this legislature is typical and no doubt it is. The Con servatives and Liberals, pounded their desks, like the tinkers' chorus, when Brother Maitland finally subsided and took his seat. Needless to add the members of Cooperative Commonwealth Federation didn't!) A Mr. Winch, only 27 years old, dark, lean, and keen as a new chisel replied to the Opposition leader, and we must admit, did an excellent job of it. He ignored the intimations of Communistic leanings, and disloyalty entirely, and hewed to the line of placing the welfare of Canada, first and above every other consideration both in war time and in time of peace. Again reverting to our newspaper source, for the belief that the Commonwealthers at heart do oppose the present war, and do harbor a great many avowed radicals and Communists, there wasn't In Mr. Winch's reply so much as half a syllable to indicate it. More than that there was nothing the most loyal super-patriot could take exception to. What the C.C.F. spokesman did was to reveal the corruption and graft and skullduggery that marked the Conservative government in Canada in the World war. and pledge the Commonwealthers, not to stand idly by with the "opposition" and see history repeat itself, but to see that this war was fought on the up-and-up, as far as the government and the politicians are concerned. To your correspondent the revelations of corrup tion and criminal negligence during the last war, were as shocking as they were surprising, but as no denial of their truth was made on the floor, one can only conclude that the moral boundary between Canada and the United States, like the geographical is also an imaginary line. (At least the graft and profiteering in Canada during the World war, even exceeded that of the United States during the Spanish.) Mr. Winch didn't get much table thumping, but what the thumpers lacked In numbers they made up in vigor, the surprise was the walnut desks could stand it. The legislative hall and gallery reminded us of a small post Gothic chapel, with its speaker's throne, long, narrow windows, and quarter-sawed oak. Before the session started, several pages in black uniforms with crimson trimmings, placed an eating apple on each desk, and in general appearance nt least they would be graded as Oregon culls of the second class. Then as in Washington the members drifted in slowly, each and every one first inspecting the "apple for the teacher" but only a few probably C.C.F. members starting in to eat. There was no smoking and no loud talking or laughter. another difference from the U.S.A. perform ance. Then a bell rang, a voice boomed. "Make way for the speaker!' and everyone stood up, as his Excellency walked in, disguised much to our surprise, as the "Spirit of Seventeen Seventy-Six!' At least he wore a three cornered hat. a black uniform, and a fresh laundered white stock at his throat, rather resembling Patrick Henry after a hard night out. A moVe serious, severe looking gentleman, of the Salem (Mass.)) Witchcraft era. could hardly be imagined His austerity was only exceeded by his expressionless face and his absolute silence. (We couldn't resist comparing him with the rubicund and Jovial Gamer., who in the Senate occupies a similar position') The pages with their round, box-like hats tilted at the proper iingie of about 45 degrees stood at attention, and the factotum in the rear, whom we took to be the sergeant-nt arms, p.ihI was ready to go over again, whenever dressed like an undertaker, also seat. The public gallery, by this time was packed, with many scrawny necks craning so nothing would be missed. Surprisingly enough there were no interruptions or heckling during ejther speech, though both were long and (appeared to us at least) full of dynamite. In fact we have never seen In any parliamentary gathering such decorum and all-around attentiveness, perhaps the fact there was no real debate, no action by the chair called for, and the two party leaders were merely presenting their respective cases, had something to do with it. Some of the members did go out to the cloak room presumably for a smoke. When they did, and when they returned they stood at attention and bowed formally to the Speaker on the throne. (Wonder what gum-chewing Senator Bob LaFollette who bobs in and out like a cricket would think of that!) P.S.: Thus endcth another journey! Shades of Harvey Scott on reaching Portland found our favorite morning paper, bannered with football dope on Page One, believe it or not! But WHY not? that was the big news of the day for 30 or 40 thousand people, wasn't it? Even ye editor was PERSUADED to attend the game which was a sellout. Also some thought a WASHout "because O.S.C. didn't win. But not the boys who really know their foot ball, they put the odds at three and two, and one-half to one in Southern Cal's favor, and that comes under the heading of calling your shot! R.W.R.

POTASSIUM FOR ALLERGY In many instances, not all, common ailments which are generally due to allergy, such as hay fever, pollinosis, ecz ema, frequent or r e c urnng hives (urti caria), asthma, giant hives (an gione u r o t i c edema), c h r o n i c sinusitis and periodic sick headaches ushered in with aura (mi- g r a 1 n e), are much relieved by small doses of postassium salts taken dis solved in plenty of water. Most suitable for this purpose is potassium chloride, and a fair dose of this is ten grains in near ly a glassful of water, three times a day, preferably after food. The relief obtained from this is felt within a few hours as a rule. It has been found possible to prevent allergic reactions to foods to which the individual happens to be sensitive if a dose of potassium chloride is taken before or about the same time the food is taken. Individuals who have kidney or heart trouble should not take potassium salts except under di rection of the physician. The remedy is not efficacious in chronic asthma, but only in the occasional asthmatic attacks which sometimes accompany hay fever. Potassium chloride in ten grain tablets especially pre pared for dissolving readily in water are convenient. It Is a mistake to take potassium chlor ide as a tablet unless it is dis solved in plenty of water it is likely to cause gastric irritation and nausea. The effects of potassium chloride arc somewhat similar to those of cpincphrin (adre nalin). In fact some investiga tors believe the effects of epine phrin (adrenalin) are actually produced by potassium mobili zation which the epinephrin causes the epinephrin liberates potassium from the tissues. These investigators conclude that epinephrin or adena'.in loses its effectiveness against such conditions as hay fever, hypercsthetic rhinitis, asthma and the like when the tissues have been depleted of potas sium. Many correspondents have complained that there is no pot assium chloride available, or that druggists insist there is some mistake and Ihey probably The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance. Inc Washington. Nov. 8. During the past week, the career of the honorable Hamilton Fish, eon pressman from the president's own Dutchess county, reached its second high-water mark.

Calif ience was owing to the peculiar system of legislative seniority, by which house members need only survive sufficient numbers of their physically or politically infirm colleagues to attain places of great influence and importance. Ham is physically as tough as an All-American Harvard tackle ought to be, and his district, although it is also the president's, is sure-fire Re publican. Ham has survived long enough to become senior Republican on the house foreign affairs committee, and. as such, was official leader of the fight to retain the arms embargo. To be sure. Ham was beaten, but he did a noble Job. He used his office and hla official stationery to organize a sort of propaganda com mittee. He was overpowerlngly elo quent, denouncing war-mongers In terms so stinging that they might have been borrowed frorr hla own orations against the "macgots of pacifism." during the last European conflict. And. when the neutrality bill reached the floor, he succeeded, for perhaps the first time In a long, uphill struggle. In being self-effacing As a matter cf fact, havtr.g been rather sternly advised by several older members, he proved an excel-I- nt floor-manner for nil party. Hint has bean ofttn described, but ha really haa to be aeeo and watched to be grasped In his full Impreaalva nesa. He la a lanje man a very large man with large features, beetling black browa, and the expression of lowering menace that waa fashion able among the football heroes ol the Iron age. He la the heir to a tradition, for his grandfather of the same name waa -ne of the forgotten great Americana. Aa secretary of state In Grant's administration, the first Hamilton Fish saved hla country almost single-handed from the worst of the disgraces which threatened In that sordid time. Ham'a father, however, waa agin' statesmanship, being the hard-boiled political manager of hla New York territory. Ham himself, after going to St. Mark's and achieving the foot ball valhalla at Harvard, apparently decided to blend In his own career the best qualities of the two pre vious Plah generations. He haa not alwaya succeeded, but In his time he hao done some remarkable things. , After making a fine war record, he entered congress In 1920. His first decade waa chiefly occupied by a pro longed and vociferous red-hunt, In which, conditions not being so fav orable aa today, he caught very lit tle more than the above-mentioned vegetables. His real period of great ness has been during the Roosevelt i administration. During these laat years. Ham haa made a specialty of criticism of mem bers of the Roosevelt family, no topic, from their Income tax payments to their propensities for travel, being too small for hla Draconian censure. He has sponsored & number of vital measures, such aa hla resolution re leasing Washington ladles from the duty of calling on one another, an ancient practice which Ham de scribed aa "a social Frankenstein, detrimental to the health, nerves and disposition." He has suggested a 100 percent tax on the fortunes of all American heiresses marrying foreigners. He has also sought nom ination nnn f- .h. ....I- ( . ... F,,.c,.v;, ,,u once for the vice-presidency, both umes as a, "iioeral." And among these lesser exploits, there have been exhibitions of larger statesmanship. One occurred when the English king nd queen were here last spring. Then Ham sprang to the defense of our bi-partisan political system, bitterly, denouncing the British ambassador, Sir Rona'1 Lindsay, for not asklne cnouch Re publicans to the royal garden party, and none at all to dinner. Another Fish exhibition waa during his sum mer vacation In Europe as chair man of the American delegation to the lnter-parllamentarv union. He obtained this post by packing an unattenoed meeting and defeating the routine candidate. Senate Major ity Leader Alben W. Barklev. He uteri It to rampage around the continent. taiKing up anotner four-power con ference on Munich lines, traveling In German Foreign Minister Von Rlbbentrop'a private airplane, and offering himself as the Ideal arbitra tor of Europe's problems. Ham has only one serious draw back. Being uncustomed to use any Information as a stick to beat the president with, he has completely prevented any confidential inter course between the atate department and the house committee on for eign affairs. He Is therefore an Im portant obstacle to the development of an Intelligent Amerlcnn forelrm policy. And picturesque though he may be, his fellow Republicans won der, sometimes, whether he Is really worth it. a At the National Capitol With John W.
