Curculation over 1000, Price in Canada $2.00 per year, when paid in advance $1.60. Id U. S. A. 12.60 per year, when paid in advance $2.00. W. H. THURSTON, Editor. F. J. THURSTON, Associate Editor STATESMANSHIF'7 AccordinK to the Globe the status of F. R. Oliver, member for South Grey in the Legislature, has been worrying one of the Toronto Conser- vative members, W. A. Baird. He wished to know if Mr. Oliver was "the last survivoi- of the once jrreat U.F.O. party, or whether he has def- initely aliened himself with the Ilep- 'buiTi gJovK'rtimenit '.'" Mr. Olivipr's answer was to the point and cTUtihinjc. He referred Mr. Baird to a i)lan of the House for the answer to his *iuery. Mr. Oliver had been eulogiz- ing Mr. Hepburn as "the best bet in that office that this provinee has had in many years." Krom the reply it is permissible, in the immoital words of a radio broadcaster, to "figure it out for yourself." We refer to ths matter sim|)ly to <litiw attention of the public to th(? flood ow drivel that is bein>r palmed jott on Ontario as an evidence jf statesmanship. It has been sugprested by someone that a Han.said of the Ontario Legis- lature, after the style of the Federal House, would be a big improvement by proving to the eliK-toratc the im- portance of Ontario affairs by placing on record some of the remarkable forensic efforts jnit forth by the various members to show that the other fellows are all rogues and rascals, unworthy of a place in the Council of our nineth part of a nation Some of the people of our nine prov- inces are fully persuaded that many of their representatives are cmly the nineth part of a statesman. Should the cost of a Hansard be added to the Test of our legislative cost they would be sure of it. It might, however, be a good thing in providing a means to allow the electoraU' to see the futility of providing the huge sums necessary to keep up our provincial Legislatures and an argument in favor of legislat- ing our Legislatures out of existence by a change in the B. N. .\. Act! EDITORIAL NOTE? Did you get fooled this mnrn'-ig, Rentle reader? It is your day! • • •' Rev. Dr. Shields, the combative To- ronto preacher, in a war of words with .Mayor McBriile, denounces His Worship as an enlirma! As long as he does not call the doughty Chief Magistrate ji ujirallclogram he will not be entirely sfpielchi'd. • • « The Globe suggests that Mussolini and Hitler take time off and go fishing, as President Roosevelt has <lone. It says "there's nothing e(nn\l to a day's angling as a soother of hasty tempers." Ri-t'ore endorsing this declaration we would like to ask the Globe editor if he ever went fi.sh- ing on a day when the pesky fish , absolutely refused to bit*.'. j • • • The Owen .Sound Sun-Times the | past week printed pictures of a snuill syrup-making oiilfil in Sydenham, ' wh'jre the proud owner is shown in his lOO-tree sugar bush. I'oohl Pooh! .'â- 'eiid your photographer down to l''ie.--herton, Sunny boy. In this dist- rict we grow sugar bushes with 3,000 trees. Come and get pictures of a real outfit, as these small develop- ments are only of passing interest to Sun-Times readers down here. • • • "Freedom and bread" is the ques- tion which was decided in Sunday's vote in Germany. Of coui-se every- body wanted these two necessaries of life. From what do they want free- dom ? Probably it is freedom from i'riticism for tearing up their own solemnly sijrned ti-eaties. As for bread, they have tjuite as much as the rest of us and oug'ht to be satisfied with that. The whole thing is only a roaring farce, and "roaring" is the only word that describes it. « « « The employees of the Ontario Gov- ernment arc assuming some functions hitherto deemed out of their line. Hecently we had the Minister of Ag- riculture going specially to Scotland to find a hull for the farm at Guelph, and now it is announced that even more romar.tic mating is contemplat- i'd by the Minister of Lands and Forests. He is overseeing the honey- mooning of the peahen in London's zoo, who is to be taken to Rondeau Park, on Lake Erie, where the Pro- vincial Government will supply the peacock. The Deputy Minister has undertaken to see that half the ant!- '.•ipated brood are returned with their mother to the London zoo. What next?

PalHster Just as the dawn was breaking on February 20th, 1936 the late Edmund Pallister received the Divine call to come up higher and receive the Man- sion prejiared for him. No one would suggest that life was ebbing swiftly away, as he was talking intelligibly to the end. He just Inclined a little backw<yd on his pillow as though lapsing into a quiet slumber and pass- ed peacefully away with his head resting between his wife's hands. He was the eldest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Geoi-ge Pallister and was sixty-four years of age, on the 11th day of January. He was born on a fann on the 12th line, Osprey, a short distance east of Rob Roy. He assisted with the chores up till the last day, and succumbed to ail- ment, chronic bronchitis. He leaves a widow to mourn his irreparable loss, whose maiden name was Miss Katie McQueen; four broth- ers and three sisters also survive: viz. Robeit and Thornton in Sask.

Mr. King a.sked the members of this House to take the same attitude, but pointed out that Canada was not a party to the Locarno agreement and that the present negotiations arise out of the L<Harno agreement. .Mr. Woodsworth sai<l he appreciated the statement <>f the Pi-ime Minister, but asked "What is the attitude of Canada, oi- have we expressed an atti- tude either to (ireat Britain or to the League, with regard to what we con- sider the action of Oermany might involve?" In reply to which the Prime Minister said: "That attitude ot the Ciovernment is to do nothing itself, and if possible to prevent any- thing occui-ring which will precipitate one additional factor into the all im- pintant discussions which are now takinir place in Europe. I believe that Canada's first duty to the League and to the British Empire with re- spect to all thi' gieat issues that come up is. if possible, to keep this country united."
