RICE AND JAPAN'S
ECONOMIC LIFE
In view of the prolonged negotia-
tions between Canada and Japan, the
following" extract on the Japanese
economic conditions of agriculture
front the 1933-34 reportof the Inter-
national Institute of Agriculture
may be of interest. It is needless
to repeat here, says the report, than
the whole of Japanese agriculture
rests in quite a patticular way on
two products enly: rice and silk. Al-
though there has been evidence In
Japan in recent years of a certain
tendency to emerge from the "rice
growing- economy" characteristic of
its economic structure hitherto, it is
unquestionable' that rice remains,
neve(ibheless, the most important
trroduot of the whole economic life
--of Javan,
It must be added, in order to seo
-the problem more clearly; that when
we a speak of rice, 'we mean Japanese
rice, that isto say, rice produced in
Japan properly so-called. The Jai
-panese people find that foreign rice
liar not the taste of the home-grown
article, and this explains why the
production at lower cost of Indo-
' Chinese or Siamese rice can in no
Tway supplant home-grown rice nor
•ccm+pete' with it. 'Only in famine
years, when the price of rice is tea
high, are .the poorer classes of the
population 'constrained to replace
home-grown rice by, importer rice
which, +becauseof its lower price, is
within their power to purchase. In
recent years the Japanese colonists
have succeeded, in intprovin'g the
quality'of the rice peedueed in Korea
and.,Formosa and the pressure of
colonial dee .production has already
begun to be felt' on the domestic
• market:
On account 'of the preference of
the Japanese people for home-grown
rice, the;importation of rice from •a-
` broad is practised only in so far as it
is necessary to stake up for the de-
' kciency of the home production and
it has no influence on mar-
ket,
rice'. i
h
ket, In the family budget, the pur-
chases 'of rice represent the largest
"item ' :+being 'often as much as 23per

'THE WEEN IN OTTAWA
+
By Frederick Edwards
Seven government appointments
were announced Saturday, but the
new Senators, personnel of the re-
vamped Bennett cabinet and the el-
ection date remain es much a mat-
ter of speculation as eves.
Hrowcver, since formal dissolution
of the Seventeenth Parliament of
Canada must come this week, it is a
reasonable guess that those who
have been indulging in the pastime
of appointment guessing ducting the
past month will have to turn to oth•
er .forms of speculation, one of which
will undoubtedly be as to the result
of the reneral election,
Three cabinet appointments are re-
garded as certain—W. G, Ernst, K.
C. M.P., to be'Minnste • of
, > t
J. Earl Lawson, K.C., ALP., present-
ly
resen
ly Dominion Conservative 0!rganF,p-
or, to be Minister of National Rev
-
smile; Sam" Gobeil, 'M.P., to be one of
two appointments from the Province
of Quebec.
,Of the seven new appointments,
that of particular interest in East-
ern Canada is the elevation of Char-
les H, Bland from a commissioner -
ship to be chairman of the Civil Ser-
vice Commission of Canada. For
some time it was 'thought this ep-
pointment would go to Picton, On-
tario-born James H. Stitt, who has
been Conservative member. for Sel-
kirk, Man., since 1930..But Mr.
Bland got the nod from the Cabinet ,
and Mr. Stitt has been appointed to
fill the vacant 'commissionership oc-!
caa'ioned by the promotion of Mr.
Bland.
Mr. Bland is enative of Pembroke,
but moved to. Ottawa in 1909 when
he joined the staff of the Commis'
sion. After the war he rejoined the
Civil Service ConSdnission • and his
promotion was rapid roan 1019 when
he was appointed assistant secretary.
His appointment is highly popular en
civil service ranks.
The other five App ointments er,-
no,unced were: ' P. H. Gordon: R.o
gins, to be judge of the .Saskatehe
wan Court of Appeals;• A. E. Bence,
Saskatoon, to be ,court judge for
North Battleford judisial distrist;
A. M. Patrick, Yorkton, to he judge
for Iliioosomin, sask., judicial dis•
evict; S. P. 'Bryant, Regina, former
Saskatchewan Minister of Public
Werke, to be judge of the Saskatoon
judicial district; Robert J. Ilamilton
to .be president and chairmen of the
V,aneouver Harbour Commission.
,Ohtrtria's trekkers' spokesmen re-
ceived short 'shrift from Prime. Min-
f'stet R, B. Bennett, and members :of
hip ,Cabinet Saturdey morning,.when
aria preliminary to their other, de-.
mends they asked that the Dominion
Government provide them food and
shelter. Likewise they cannot get
to first base with the municipal am
thorities here. In a subsequent
statement to the press, Mr, Bennett
tt
laid: The march has
been an en-
gineered procession, and if any good
eurpcse would be served I could name
the chief engineer—a man . in Toron-
to." I3o added that its purpose was
to create chaos if possible, to embar-
rass the government and if possible
to arouse public opinion in favour
of the marchers. He blamed 'Com-
munists for seeking to destroy the.
relief camp system and bring about
chaos for revolutionary purposes.
Minister: of Labour Wesley A. Gor-
j don believed that within two or three
months all unemployed men, able and
willing to work, will be employed.
In a special interview to the peeve
Col, the Hon. Gordon S. Harrington,
new head of, the Employment and
Social Insurance Commission, out-
lined a scheme to care for Canadian
workersfrom the cradleto the grave.
Present at the interview were N. R.
Beaudet, and Tom Moore his fellow
crnmissioners. One interesting fact
he mentioned was that besides the
setting up and administerni,g of Un-
employntent, Insurance they were al-
so charged wth giving consideration
to a ech'erne for national "stealth in-
surance.
It was quite, clear, Col.' Harring-
ton emphasized, that the Commission
had nothing to do with the dole, but
purely with an'insueance scheme on
an actuarial basis. It was still im-
possible to format when the act
would be proclaimed, +but the skeleton
of the machinery had been almost r.
greed upon for submission to the
Cabinet, which wouldbe within a
few days, Col,' Harrington said. As
far as contributions ' are concerned,
it is improbable that the act will
tomo into force before fall; and 'since
contributions most be paid for forty
no money is likely to bepaid out of
Weeks before 'benefits can be drawn,
the, fund for about a year., and a half.
To this fund the employee pays two.
fifths, the employer two-fifths and
the government . one-fifth together
with administrative costs.
One of the Commission's tasks will
be a nation-wide survey of melee -
meet, Chainivan Barrington declar-
ed, so that there will be an accurate
picture of, conditions the insurance
schemewill be obliged to meet. ";It
Will be the most comprehensive' ever

YEOMAN Or GUARD SAVED
KING THRICE
King's Body Guard Mu'st Wear
Beards and Inspect Cellars of Par
liament—Once Made King's Bed
Served His Food and Supplied Ills
Wine.
Annually in June King George's
uncle, the Duke of Connaught, in
spects the King's Body Guard of the
Yeoman of the Guard. It is the oc
casion taken by some newspapers to
tell the history of this curious corps
and to warn tourists that, in spite of
their similar uniform, they are no
identical with the "Buffetiers," the
Beefeaters, at the Tower of London
These are old soldiers who still weal
the handsome costume which was
made for their at their institution by
Henry VII.
Tho corps's historian, Corporal -
major R. J. T. Hills, has .been induc-
ed by
nductcd'by Tho Morning Post to describe
r and sketch, fromits ar-
chives, the 450 years of service. He
begins:
"The Ring's Body Guard of the
Yeomen of the Guard is not only
the oldest Royal Body Gr'ard, but
also the oldest military corps new
existing in this or any other country..
"'When the guard ceased their daily
duties at the royal palaces early in
the last century, the members were
permitted to liye in their own hones,
to be summoned when required, and i"
yearly roll -call instituted. This in
Queen Victoria's reign, developed in-
to an annual inspection, the first one
being held by Ring Edward VII, then
Prince of Wales,
"The guard, it should be emphas-
ized, must not be confused with that
other gallant and ancient carps, the
'Yeoman Warders of His Majesty's
Tower of London.'
"Though the appearance of the two:
bodies in full kit is similar, it is not
identical. The Yeoman of the Guard
is vastly proud of his embroidered
cross -belt, which the Walder has not.
The belt, which, was designed to sup.
port the butt of the harquebus, still
bears the swivel hook from which
that terrific weapon was slung on the
march.
Yeoman Must Be Bearded
"Finally, while the Yeoman Ward-
ers may, if they wish, shave every
nothing,. every Yeoman of the'Guard
is still, like his. Tudor prototype,
"bearded like the ;parol.'
"Henry Tudor .was a Welshman,
and it is said that many of leis yeo-
men came from the principality. Yet
the earliest extant warrant, dater
September, 1485, appoints no less
a personage than one William
Beowne.to,he a member ,ofthe guard.
Ste, like the rest, was: a .yeoman or.
gentleman just below; the rank or
esquire.
"Solely respontlblo for the King's
safety, the yeomen accompanied him;
mounted' of dismounted, forty by day
and twenty' by 'nig-ht. They served
his food, supplied his wine, mid made
his bed. Tricky work, thi's bedding
down of the Tudor. .Monarch. The
hmnhle .basis of strew was plunged
through' and through with a dagger.
On the bed of down a yeoman must
'tunvble up and dawn foe the eeerch
thereof, and beat it and lay ib even
and a modth.' There were sheets anti
`liustiees' and `panes' of ermine and
'marten to be spread.
"The frnal.cluty of the yeoman was
to 'stick angels aboutout the sate

William, III Saved Thrice
"It is. recalled that three separate
attempts on life of King. William III.
were abandoned because of the vigil-
ance of the guard. When mad Mar-
garet Nicholson in 1786 made to stab
King George III, it was , a yeoman
who warded off the .blow, and anoth-
er who snatched the, weapon from
her hand, In 1800 again, one Hat-
field fired at the King in Drury Lane
Theatre. The shot passed between
two yeomen, who seized the malefac-
tor. Until recent years two of the
guard always 'stood before the royat
box at the play.
"Most picturesque of remaining
duties today is the search of the
Houses of Parliament cellars before
the State opening. Today the cel-
lars are brilliant with electric light,
and thickly populhted 'with police
and postmen. Nevertheless the stal-
warts of the guard still descend
with little oil lamps, lest some mod-
ern Guy Fawkes should plot destruc
ficin of the representatives of the
'.
nation above, There is a sad r .
cord of one portly yeomen who fail-
ed to negotiate the trap-door . by
which the guard proceeds to its
search.
"Formerly the guard had its stand-
ard„ bright with the Red •Dragon of
Cadwallader and the leek. It Avas ;
lost, with mach else in the fire of 1809
which destroyed the guard headquar-
ters at St. James.
"Few realize that the yeomen have
their own battle honors, reaching
from Therouenne in 1513 to Detting-
en in 1743. They have loosed the
cloth yard shaft of old England,
pushed the sixteen -foot pike, sal-
uted the sacred cause of progress
with the harquebus. Now they have
slipped gracefully into history with.
the halbred and short sword.

diner, Ashfield, Monday, when about

gave, her a miscellaneous shower 10
honor of her approaching marriage
on August 24. The gifts were brought
into• the room on a decorated wagon
wheeled by Phyllis and Philip East-
man and with Marion Gardiner dres
sed as a bride. As they entered the
room M%s. Wesley Ritchie played rite
the wedding march. After the gifts
were received and Miss Helen expres-
sed her appreciation she displayed
her trousseau to the guests. 'A very
dainty lunch was then served.
