It must, however, be a progressive and orderly change. Otherwise, there would be chaos. Science, Dr. Weir declared, had outstripped economics and, In some cases, ethics. Advance must not be too rapid but in a steady, evolutionary way if solid foundations were to be built. There seemed to be two cornerstones of democracy one po litical liberty and the other economic security. So far democracy had not harmonized these two factors. In some cases, dictatorships had come into being, people handing over their political liberty in order to be assured of economic security. British people, however, would neyer yield their political liberty even though they might be haunted by the spectre of economic insecurity. Some attempts were being made by the provincial government to solve the problem, said Dr. Weir. Four million dollars per year was being spent by the government in health services and, In this connection, Dr. Weir frankly predicted that, within a" few years, this would be pyramided. The authorities would be forced Into it. Seventy- t five per cent of the people today were not getting adequate medical service. In the .expenditures for health services, $29 was being spent for cures and but $1 for prevention. Did .that sound reasonable? Realizing that prevention must be stressed, the government, in the case of tuberculosis for example, had established clinics. The number of advanced cases reaching sanitaria had been cut down from three out of four to one out of three.

By THOMAS WAYLIXG OTTAWA, June .9. The Dominion Housing, Act , is being made available to the smaller urban and the general rural population of Canada. The old, housing act could not be used by these in the smaller centres and outside the centres of population so Olof Hanson M.P. and other members who have realized this brought pressure to bear on the government to revise the act. This has been done and yesterday the minister of finance, Hon. Charles A. Dunning, brought his new proposals down into the House. . They are being received with general approval .arid this summer small cost homes will'be possible for people in all parts of Canada instead of only the big centres of population. In introducing the new housing bill, Mr. 'Dunning stated that it was designed to assist low salaried owners, builders and municipal low rental housing projects and lift early burden of municipal taxation from low cost owner-builders. About $55,000000 will be the federal treasury obligation under the scheme. t The Act was given its first reading.
