Increasing populations, not arma- ments are tlio most potent cause of war, in the view of Col. Fr;u;or Hun- ter, M.L.A., Toronto, The Colonel had in mind particularly the rapidly growing population of Japan, wi'ilch Is becoming too great for the nanow confines of the island empire. Thus It would Beam that babies, not bul- lets, aro a prime cause of war. The Colonel also takes the view that the freatest dangers to peace are econo- mic. "Unemployment,'' he says, "Is clearly not a national but an interna- tional problem a'; ia the distribution Cf goods and service and unle.ss our numerouR conflicting ik)1Ic1os can be reconciled we shall inevitably bo flgiiting each other again."

THE EMPIRE Repays Loan Of $100,000 Walkerville Wipes Om In- tlelMcJnoss In KoiurJ Tinu' â€" Fivi' Year Plan. Winilsoi- -Reiniynu'iit of a bank loan of IflOO.OOO was ccmpletcd by the Town of Walkerville recently, wiping out all llie town's hank indebtedmss on Ut.'M current account, Mayor Far- row announced. It is the first time in seven yeai-'s that the town lias been able to accomplish this, Mayor Farrow exiilaiiied. CUKKKNT ACCOUNT "Repa.vnient of this $100.01)0." Mayor I'arrow said, "was in keepim: with the provisions of our five-year plan, which provideil Ihal. bank Ioan.< on current account should be paid not later than May 1 of the year fol- lowing the year in which they are incurred.

It's a cure, announced recently at the -American College of Physicians meetings. Try it also on seasickness and plane sickness. .\ny kind of paper bag will do and it should cure these as well as car sickness under a theory of these ills described today. The treatment was found during a study of "hypervention" of the human system described by Dr. William J. Kerr of San Francisco. Hyperventilation shows itself in the taking of big breaths and the fami- liar long .sighs that follow. They are the body's way of regaining its alkalinity-acidity balance. In studying the ills due to this halance Dr. Kerr found that too much alkalinity may cause convul- sion like those of tetnay, and other troubles, included in this same cycle! are the varying forms of seasick- 1 ness. The remedy for them would! l>e an increase in acidity. This he ! obtained for car sickness sufferers' I'V increasing their breathin.ir of car-' l>on-dioxide.

But in thj frog- we find real voice, the begin- iiins of the power of expressioii , through the scale of animal aiticu* j lation, which reaches its clima.x i« , human speech.

Detroit-^The automobile (luring the last 13 months the highest hourly wage rates in its history; has increased payrolls 131 per cent, above 1932, and is paying more to labor, per car produced, than it did in 1929. These statements are made in a letter sent by the -Automobile Manu- facturers Association, through its president, Alvan Macauley, to Don- ald R. Richlierg, chairman of the National Industrial Recovery Board. Because of the marked shortening of working hours resuired by the in dustry's code, however, it has not beer [lossible to pay weekly and annua! wages approaching those of 1929, the letter declares. .\verage work hours per week under the code have been cut 13 a week from the 1929 averageâ€" from ^•"'.rt to 32.1! hours. As a result, des- pite higher rates and higher relative payrolls, the individual's aver.tge weekly pay envelope has contained inly $24,711 during the 12 months ended in iMarch, instead of $,'{2.7-1, as in i;»29. These figures were compiled from reports made by members of the industry in connection with their code. The code sets 40 hour.< as the an- nual average permissible weekly hours, with an absolute iniximum of 4H hours for any one week. Hut. Mr. .Macauley pointed out, any number of uncontrolialile causes, including the impossibility of fully regulating the flow of ni.'ilerials from parts sup- pliers, makes it inipossilde for the industry to approach the allowable maximum working time. lie asserted that if the workers are lo regain the weekly \»ig-e of 1929 they must be allowed to work more hours per year. Further limitation of hours only will reduce weekly pay, and greater llexibility than now ob- laiiis is needed.
