Hon.
Dr.
George

Provincial
Secretary,
announced
today
that

of

Columbia's

insurance
..plan
as
projected
to
be
the
first
North
American
state

scheme

be

Dr.
Weir,
who
sponsored
the
health
insurance
bill
in
the

last
year,
said
he
had
received
a
telegram
from
Premier
T.
D.
Pattulio
in
Ottawa
asking
him
to
postpone
operation
of
the
Health
Insurance
Commission
sine
die.
The
text
of
Premier
Pattullo's
wire
was
as
follows:
"In
view
of
your
advice
that
the
Health
Insurance
Commission
1
has
not
been
able
to
complete
arrangements
for
operation
of
the
Act
by
the
dates
fixed,
please
give
instructions
to
postpone
the
operation
sine

so
an
opportunity
will
be
afforded
to
review
the
whole
situation
on
my
return."

Dean
F.
M.
Clement,
head
of
the
'
Department
of
Agriculture
of
the
University
of
British
Columbia,
is
not
one
of
those
Jolly
optimists
'who
babble
merrily
along
about
the
awful
depression
which
is
now
about
over.
In
fact,
he
is
quite
candidly
of
the
opinion
that
"we
are
a
long
way
yet
from
being
out
of
the
degression"
although
there
is
a
tem-jporary
uptrend
in
business
cycle
which
may
last
until
1939
or
1940.
Nor
Is
Dean
Clement
one
of
those
impractical
visionaries
who
goes
around
talking
about
a
"change
in
the
system"
which
will
be
the
sure
cure
for
all
existing
economic
Ills.
On
the
contrary,
he
quite
frankly
admits
that
he
has
no
solution
tc
offer.
All
he
can
suggest
is
that
Individuals
should
try
and;
study
social
and
economic
matters,
endeavor
to
live
in
understanding
one
with
another
and
establish
themselves
as
well
as
possible.
In
the
second
of
his
series
of
three
extension
lectures
at
First
Presbyterian
Church
here
last
night,
Dean
Clement
concluded
with
the
reminder
that
the
great
mass
of
trie
producers
and,
he
was
referring
more
specifically
to
the
agriculturalists
as
far
as
Canada
Is
concerned,
must
be
assisted
If
the
rest
of
the
people
are
to
prosper.
Dean
Clement's
subject
last
night
was
"Canadian
and
British
Columbia
Problems
as
Influenced
by
European
Policies."
He
started
out
to
continue
his
discussion
of
the
world
food
situation
and
ended
up
with
a
review
of
the
present
general
economic
situation
in
Canada
which
was
frank
enough
if
not
overly
hopeful
as
far
as
the
immediate
future
is
concerned.
Uptrends
and
Downtrends
Economic
history
of
the
last
150
years,
Dean
Clement
said,
had
been
marked
by
long
uptrends
and
downtrends
In
prices
due
to
changes
In
the
value
of
currency.
From
1796
to
1818
there
had
been
an
uptrend
in
prices,
from
1817
to
1849
a
downtrend,
from
1849
to
1873
an
uptrend,
from
1873
to
1896
a
downtrend,
from
1896
to
1929
an
uptrend
and
now
there
was
another
downtrend.
Every
period
of
prosperity
In
the
world
had
been
accompanied
by
an
increase
in
the
supply
of
gold,
inflation
of
currency
or
war.
Plotted
on
the
other
side
were
the
periods
of
misery,
want
and
reform.
The
world
had
neve
learned
yet
how
to
be
prosperous
In
times
of
peace.
The
present
downtrend
was
not
yet
over,
Dean
Clement
believed,
although
there
appeared
to
be
a
temporary
business
uptrend
due
to
inflation
which
could
not
be
expected
to
last
any
longer
than
1939
or
1940.
In
this
connection
he
referred
to
the
