There are many reasons for welcoming It. Friendship follows trade, and liritaln and Amer- ica need to be friends. The talks on which the terms of this New Deal will be based have heen communicated to the Dominion Governments. At all stages they have been informed and, ."o far, no objections. Hritlah trade policy now rests (since the Ottawa Trade Trealios i;i3-') on three bases. First comes the liritish producer; next the Empire producer: third the for- eign producer. If thi new pact gives preference to the Americans above all other non-Rrilish traders, the Doily Express will welcome it. There are ways in which American Industry and agriculture are complementary to our own. But let's bo plain. Ottawa stands. â€" London Daily fJxpress.

Scientist Urges Study Of Life's Prolongation Dr. Alexis Carrel Says That "In- ner Time" Regulates Our Length of Elxistence. Dr. Alexis Carrel, Rockefeller In- stitute scientist, wh) made small col- onies of colls virtually immortal, last week foreca.st a new step in longer human ILfe, by rc?:ulating "inner time," the human clock, whose hours are set by tlic blood and tissues. Dr. Carrel spoke lo the annual lonvcntton of tho As.^ociation of Lifi; Insurance Presidents. Ho proposed a new kind of scientific institute to :.lu'!y the pr.x-ess "f ascin;/. Body Must Have iVIorc Keslstancc "The prolilem of longevity," he .•;aid, "is entering a new period of its history. So far increase in dura- lion of life has resulted from hy- girne and medicine. But these have nearly completed their work." A few more discoveries, like pre- vtnting h( art disiase and cancer, ho said, will briuR further longevity, possil)ly to average into the TO's. "Thereafter," he continued, "fur- Uier lengthening of human existence will demand a new method. True prolongation will re(iuiro improve- ment of the quality of tissues and hloo<l; that is, more ri'sistance to the body wealing out." 10 As Old As 60 This will be done by discovering how to regulate what Dr. Carrel iuime<l "inner time", also called the "physiological clock," by which some persons of 10 are really as old as others of GO. The hands of Uiis clock are the blood, its works are the tissues, its mainspring perhaps the mind. Its lioiMs are ago, and these have dif- ferent lengths in different persons - This accoimts. Dr. Carrel said, for the fact that the days of childhood seem very long, those of maturity and senescence disconc I'tingly rapid, "Time Within Ourselves" "Our time," he declared, ''is not an outside event. It flows within our- selv(!s.'' That oiu- of these hours can last indefiniti'ly, perhaps forever, lias been demonstrated at the Rockefeller Institute. But in a complex human being, for reasons not yet known, the hours i]o not last, even though, the well known differences point to the possibility. As an example of the hour that never ends. Dr. Carrel said a colony of tissue cellsâ€" that is, a bit of liv- ing flesh separated from the body- will Jive in a drop of scrum- Left alone, the cells soon show signs of Kcowing old. But if the waste pro- uucts of the cells are not allowed to accumulate, "senescence and death are indefinitely postponed'' A bit of chicken embryo, taken from a heart in 1912, washed every few days ever .^lince, is still grow- ing a.;! actively as twenty-five years a(;o at tho institute. j News In Review [ Urged to Forget Russia BUCHAKK.ST, Uumania â€" King Carol II and Premier (U-orge Tata- rescu were reported to have warned French Foreign Minister Yvon Del- bos last week that France must choose between close collaboration with Soviet Russia and faithful mili- tary support from Rumania. Loyalist Victory MADRID â€" Loyalist .. ',i-tank gun crews were reported by the War Of- fice to have blown to bits a sriuadron of "whippet" tanks which led a sur- prise rebel attack on positions in the Sierra Nevada Mountains southeast of Granada, last week-end. The tank attack aga' st the Gov- ernment lines around Portugos and Pitres, 22 miles below Granada along the Trevelez River, was launched after rebel infantry suffered heavy losses in two attempts to storm the well-fortified loyalist positions. More Violence in Palestine JKRUSrALLM â€" New acts of vio- lence, including an attempt to bomb a freight train \vere reported in Palestine last week. A bomb was discovered on the railway line between Jerusalem and Lydda shortly before a freight train [lassed over the spot. During its .journey from Jerusalem to Lydda, the train was subjected to terrorist ride fire. Th.re were no casualties, however. Terrorists again cut the Iraq pipe- line, this time in the Jordan Valley. The agitators set lire to the oil which flowed from the breach. Commentary on the HighliKhto of the Week's Newt . . « by PeUr Randal BOOST FOR CANADA: "A fort- night's holiday on the east coast of Canada would give better value for the money spent, than a month in many overcrowded Continental re- sorts".

If the Duke had no real intention of sojourning in Canada, and made the To Qualify As President DUBLIN, Ireland â€" A Czechoslo- vakian Count, whose ancestors left Ireland more than 200 years ago, prepared last week to become an Irish citizen so that he might be qualified to succeed Eamon de Val- era as President of the Free State. Count Edward Taafe, who recent- ly sold his vast estates near Prague, is one of a half dozen men proposed for the Free State's first President under the new Constitution which will become effective December 29. Amalgamation Wanted WINNIPEG â€" Premier Bracken asked the Dominion-Provincial Rela- tions Commis.sion at its last sitting in Winifipeg ths week to make a thorough study of tho proposal to unite the three Prairie Governments into one. He related the history of the abortive attempt of his Govern- ment in 1932 to get action on such a plan in order to have one L^i.s- lative meeting per year, instead of three; one university, instead of three; and one civil service staff, in- stead of. three, to head the west. May Join Fascist Axis RO.ME â€" Fascist circles hinted this week that Premier Milan Stoyalino- vich of Jugo.slavia may recommend, .ifter conferences with Premier Mus- s( iini, that .lugos' via withdraw from the Little Entente and join tho Rome- Berlin axis. Foreign diplomats said that the report, wliich would be a severe blow to the French security system in Central and .Southeastern Europe if true, probably was mere "wishful thinking" on Italy's part. They ad- mitted, howeve.*, that Stoyadino- vich's week-long visit in Italy indi- cated closer coi!a!)oration among Rome, Berlin and Bel.vrrade. Urges Corser-v'atives Reorganize TORONTOâ€" Hon. Dr. R. J, Man- ion. Conservative former Federal Railways Minister, addre.-;sing Con- servative bu.^inessnion here this week declared "nobody knows what is the policy of the Federal Conservative party." The party must be re- organized, he said.

Now French Minister Here OTTAVVAâ€"Count Robert de Dam- pierre, new French Minister to Can- ada, arrived last week to take up his post, and paid a formal call on Jus- tice Minister I.apointc, acting head of the Government in the absence of Prime Minister Mackenzie Kin.g. The province, according to word received by Mayor .-Vndrew Davison from Hon. \V. W.

At a luncheon in the Company cafeteria, A. E. Macl.aurin, General Secretary of the Cauudian Council on Boys' and Girls' Club work, spoke on the work of the Clubs, made possible by a fund to which the Harvester Company contributed generously, to teach better methods to the 35,000 young farmers who now belong to the Farm Clubs. Accompanying these 02 winner.! were J. C. Magnan, President of the organization, and other officials. F. M.

At any rat* his statement is a good advertifs^- ment for Canada, as a holiday »•• sort. • * ♦ SHOWMANSHIP: A writer in th« Toronto Financial Post leads a time- ly di.-cussion of Canada's sad laSk of ".showmanship". The fifth largest trading nation of the world has fall- en dowm badly, he says, in national advertisement. The exposition is sug- gested as a good medium. At the Paris show this year, our exhibits lacked the punch and glamor of mod- ern showmanship â€" they "missed the boat", seemed dull and old-fashioned among more clever contemporaries. They overplayed the Indian, the trap- per and the things of yesteryciar when they should have told of our present development and tho promise of the future. Canada will have ofh- er chances, however, at the Glasgow Exhibition in 19;<8 and the New York World's Fair tho following year. VjX- hibits at these, the Post says, shauld be designed to represent present-day life in Canada, should assist export- ers in the sale of goods, induce tour- ists to visit our country. May the Government lend an attentive ear* to these constructive suggestions! „ « * • FLA SCO: Nobody really expected anything to come of the Brussels Nine-Power Conference convoked' to settle the Sino-Japanese questisn. How complete a fizzle it turned out to be. however, is realized only wJten one learns that its sole accomplish- ment was the production of "A Re- port" â€" not a report on anythihg, just "A Report". It's the old fable once again of the mountain giving birth to a mouse. Even "A Report" was the result of heated wrangling. the .American Ambassador fiiihtmg vainly to have it entitled, "A Report to the Governments Here Rciire- sented-" Not addressed to anyone, "A Re- port" covers twelve typewritten pag- es v.ith an historcal summary ,in which Japan and China are pictured as entan,';!ci 'u .liffi-ultics "such that solution tan be ach'eved olfly by the co-oreration of all co'intries interested in the Far Ea.=;t". "A Re- port" has iiwked toll us something, there. * • » QUESTION M.ARK: Claim 'ng .that , the whole future "is a gigar.tic nues- tion mark", Lammat du Pont, I'rcs- ident of E. I. du Pont d^ Nennurs & Co.. one of the wealthiest concerns in the United SUtcs, has proiosed to his fellow manufacturers 'n all fields that a huge $'.;.5.0n0.000.'?)00 program b" instituted to create 3,- 000.000 new jobs, lend new expansion to industry. Before such a scheme can be hunicheci, he said, the Govern- ment will have to dspcl the fog en- shrouding business and gu,irantee a reasonable amount of certainty ii!»on which it can count in planning cur- rent and future operations. Further, "New jobs, new wealth and agrical- tural nrospcr'.ty could be produced only through p'anned r.,'.search, plan- ned develonmcnt and planned exnan- s'on of plant, sales and administra- tion facilities. That meant, he sa'd, "planned expenditure of capital months and years in advance of any penny of return.'' Mr. du Pont is uaw offering of his own free will to endorse that which President Roosevelt has afl along been trying to induce bli; indus- try to do. The outcome may bo that If Mr. Roonevelt turns down his offorr Mr. du Pont will be able lo blame the- .\ew Deal for any further recession. in busiuess. • • ♦ GIVE HIM SIX YEARS: In spite ^. of h's continual talking and cam- paigning for colonies, Ucichskanzlcr Adolf Hitler last week admiltod that he didn't expect to have German tle- mands answered for another six years at least- Hitler is right in this, that for the present Brtain and Franco are not ready (intimidated though they be) to rush forward and offer to make a gift of certain sections of their territories to Ger«iany. Say Britain and France: "Germany's col- onial d-.mani's reqeire 'nnuh more extended stu !y'." * * • H.OVV MUCH TO EAT: A nalLn- wido nutrit'on survey is snyn to be made with the purpo.se of d .scuvering what the food reijurcmen's arc of the various stages of himan bvoloi - ment; what tho Caraciian Vv)v';ing- maii's requirements are and what re- sources are available to supply thsm.
