Editorial Correspondence
Victoria, B. C, Nov. 3. 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

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.

nesa. He la a lanje man a very large
man with large features, beetling

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

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

back. Being uncustomed to use any

prevented any confidential inter

velt to demand that Great Brit
ain define her -objectives in the
European war and then seek to
bring about a negotiated peace,

spirit."

trying to effect an early peace
which has prospects of perma
