The difficulty is that sufficient fuel cannot be carried to enable the planes to fly such a long distance. And yet in a few years flying the Pacific will be as common as is flying the Atlantic today. Hundreds of people are working to solve the problems of long distance flights and improved engines with greater carrying power will result in the difficulties being minimized to such" an extent that plenty of people will take advantage of the opportunities that offer. OTHER DIFFICULT PROBLEMS We seem to be concentrating our energies on mechanical improvements and yet when a problem arises such as that which has afflicted the world recently, it seems impossible of solution. Given a. too great supply of food and other commodities on the one hand and on the other many people without food and other commodities, yet we have not solved the problem of how to place the food and other commodities in the hands of those Who need them without pauperizing the needy. Here is a problem that is worthy of the thought of the best founds. Many suggestions have been made as to -how to deal with this matter but experimenting is difficult and very few problems are solved without actual experiment. Immediately a suggestion is made to conduct an experiment, very keen opposition develops and the experiment is quashed. . ANOTHER GERMAN CRISIS Recently there was a crisis in German affairs when serious opposition was offered to the re-election of President von Hindenburg. Today there is a cabinet crisis caused bv the resignation of Chancellor Bruening and the taking- over oi tne conduct ol affairs by a less moderate leader. Many people are watching Germany as one of the danger snots of the world or from other points of view as the possible salvation of the world. In any event we can look to Germany to keep us interested for some time to come. CHURCHILL AND PRINCE RUPERT There is much in common in the situation of Churchill and Prince Rupert. Both are new ports and both aspire to be grain shipping ports. Each has an elevator, modem and with the usual facilities for cleaning and drying grain. Both Churchill and Prince Rupert have certain strategic advantages but they are to a large extent offset by the fact that there are established routes for grain shipping and that it is difficult to divert from those routes. For the second season the federal government, under pressure from the prairies, has backed the Hudson Bay route by removing entirely the port and elevator charges at Churchill as. an inducement to ship that way. Prince Rupert never had any such inducement offered by the government, either present or past. The port has had to fight its own way without aid and the situation is anything but encouraging. Today Prince Rupert is at a point where mature consideration should be given and this consideration should be followed by action,, The policy of laissez faire must give place to such action as'wilf bring' about a change. The elevator was built by the people of Canada for use as a terminal shipping port and not a storage house. The will of the people has been defeated by various interests and the port has had to suffer as a result. fr'm 5 to a tax Oa, LU, TrcwU, Oat Palpitation of the Heart IWdly '-yjMraotfd Mr CWW 8U., R.lt 8, TVU OnL, writes-" I wu troubled with palpitation el Lb heart; rouMn't sleep, day rr nifbi, and tu eo Weak I cmuld hardly (ft around.

Milbarm J anadian National Report Brought Down Slim Atten dance as End of Session Approaches Prorogation By Deputy Governor General There is an air of excitement among the members as the end of the session draws nigh and many of the members are busy packing up. An uneasy feeling prevailed in the House when the report of the committee on the Canadian National Railway attairs was read and moveu lor adoption. Had any discussions of a political nature started at this stage no one could have fore- cast how long such discussions might have lasted. The report, which was unanimous, subjected the directors to some criticism for allowing the purchase of a home in Montreal for Sir Henry Thornton which will cost some $200,000. The expense account of officials was also criticized. They were also asked to reduce salaries on the higher officials and. in the matter of pensions, to have these reviewed as it had been brought out in the committee that excess pensions were being paid and some pensions that ought not to have been paid at all. The Prime Minister intimated thai it had been arranged that the House should meet on Saturday and that we would sit from 11 to 6 in the evening. He also announced that the government of Canada had no Intention whatever of en- rose, there was much bustle In the rooms as it was expected that the douse Would prorogue some time early the following week. Monday, May 23 This was entirely a day of legislation- some very important and lengthy bills elng debated and passed, two of s.hem affecting-insurance and talcing up the greater part of the day. t is doubtful if -the majority of the serobers fully , comprehended the various clauses, in these bills but we were forced to accept them trusting that the government knew what it was doing in this regard. The bill In connection with the amendments td the Civil Service Act created a gfeat deal of discus sion and it was evident that a great difference of opinion existed among the various members of the House, Personally, I regard it as a reen tering Into any negotiations of i grade step to go back to the ap- trade with Soviet Rusla. He took the tccaslon to notify this on account of an article which had appeared lr) the press to the effect that such negotiations were under way. He declared this was not true or There were quite a number of polntment of postmasters by pat ronage. The appointment of all ;ostmasters. where the annua! re venue of such post offices docs not exceed $3000, Is now entirely !n the hinds of the minister Instead of under the Civil Service Commission. I have my own opinion as to how bills passed through and then, in; these appointments will be made. the evening. Post Office estimates were again before the House and again it was Quebec night. The members from that province occupied the time of the House up to the hour of 11 o'clock. However, it was with a sigh of relief that, just before the House rose, all estimate in this department were rushed through which will put an end to further acrimonious accusation being made from the members representing the province of Quebec. Saturday, May 21 Judging from the slim attendance in the House. :t is evident that many members iave departed for home. The greatest number I counted In the House it one time was 60 and, at another oerlod of the day, some 28 members were in their places. It Is Interesting to know that 20 members form a quorum of the House and. if there are less than 20 members at any time, the House can be adjourned. A very important measure to municipalities was introduced in connection with the Soldier Settle-nent Board whereby the government could transfer to the provinces or municipalities lands which were obtained by the Soldier Settlement Board and which are not un-1er contract of sale to any person It also provides for the payment oi axes, etc. This, to me, seems a verj commendable measure and one the nunicipalltles of British Columbia lave long asked for. Official esti mates came up before the House md practically the whole afternoon session was taken up by Quebec members which, to me, seems lulte a waste of time, being mostly oolitlcal recriminations from members on both sides. Even though thv House is anxious to hurry along, we had to sit patiently and listen to lories of whales and fishing in the Hudson Bay given by members whe represent these northern constituencies and then we witnessed me of those Incidents which makes ne sometimes ponder on our Parliamentary affairs. Just as the House was about to rise at 6 o'clock, at the suggestion of the' Prime Minister, the chairman of the committee started in on the estimates on railway earning and. inside of some five minutes, unaer tne estimates oi tne in -tlan Department, the question o radium was discussed at scmei ength. it being pointed out hat "ow was the time for the govern-1 nent to control these deposits ot : raaium ore. For some reason, known only tc he government, the .report of tht committee on gasoline pricr-s had jeen left on the table without its tdcpUsn being moved and, so as to bring the whole subject of gasoline trices before the House for dlsciw-ion, Ed. Young, Weyburn. although 'ot a member on that committee, noved that it be now adopted. He nade it quite clear that he was not n favor of the report but was taking this method so as to bring the matter up for discussion. From about 11 o'elock to 12 the sales' tax was debated, Mr. Rhodes, nlnlster in charge, making some tmendments thereto. He mention-id the fact In regard to the three percent impost tax that the government expected a revenue from this tax of $16,000,000. tie stated that, n regard to the six percent sales ax and the three percent Impost tax, the government needed revenue nd these were the two methods of obtaining same. The bill passed at the stroke of 12. , Tuesday, May 24 Although this ras Victoria Day and a holiday throughout the city, the House sat is usual, meeting at ll o'clock in 'he morning. The expected discus-.ion on gasoline prices did not materialize. Mr. Young, the day previous, had been asked by the Prime Minister to wait until today before he brought the matter up and. when he did so. one of the members moved that the House proceed with the orders of the day whjch was tantamount to cutting down all discussions on this Important question. This precipitated a vote nnd the move to discuss the question of gasoline was defeated 83 to 43. Practically every Conservative member and a few Liberals voted with the majority and It looked to me as if the oil companies had quite a few sympathizers in the House. The Civil Service Bill was passed but, before passing, necessitated millions of dollars affecting every j voting again to vote In the House department of the government J takes up 15 to 20 minutes' time.
