A Waste of Time and Money
Mr. Harry W. Anderson, editor of
the Toronto Globe, in a signed article
written from Ottawa to his paper re-
cently, complained somewhat bitter-
ly about the "futile, tedious, endless,
purposeless, partisan talk" being in-
dulged in by members of parliament,
on both sides of the House, at the
present session, when "the people of
Canada are waiting anxiously for
action."
Mr. Anderson is entirely right.
The people of Canada,:. are awaiting
action because Mr. Bennett promised
action, and Mr. King, leader of the
Opposition, promised his own, as
well as the support of his followers,
in bringing this action about; and
unless the members pay some im-
mediate attention to these promises,
they are going to find that the
patience of their constituents has
been exhausted. That it will be the
constituents and not the members
who will take ,action.
All legislation requires more or
less consideration, and moreorless
discussion of it is expected, and what
is more, is often times desirable. The
people who pay for that discussion
are well aware of that fact and are
willing that their money should be
spent on it.
But when members of parliament
engage in endless discussion 'over
legislation that was discussed and
passed three years ago—as they have
been doing the past week and are
doing this week—these same people
who foot the bills are well aware of
that fact too.
Parliamentary discussion of .mem-
bers is limited to forty minutes, but
even with that limit, at a cost of $50
a minute, the speeches of -"members
run into real money, even when a
member's speech contains something
original or some constructive thought
or criticism which may be of benefit
to the country at large. But when
the average speech is nothing more
than a rehash and repetition of the
leaders', the effort is a waste of the
member's time, and what is still
worse, a criminal waste of the peo-
ple's money. -
Mr. Bennett promised Iegislation
to supplement his five broadcasts of
promises to the Canadian people. If
that legislation is not yet ready to be
placed before the House for discus-
sion, approval or disapproval, why
did the Prime Minister summon par-
liament at this time?
If this legislation is a reality, why
does' he not bring it down, so that the
members may be usefully employed
instead - of wasting their own time
and the taxpayers' money?
This Parliament was to have been.
a Parliament of Parliaments. It was
to give the people of the country a
new deal, and, 'let it be said, the peo-
ple are in dire need of a new deal;
it was to usher in a hew era and
banish the evils of the old.
Well, to date, and Parliament has
been in session since January 18th,
can any one say it has accomplished
any of those prornises? Or has it
shown the least intention of even
trying to accomplish anything, ex-
cept expending the people's money
at the rate of $15,000 to $20,000 a ,
day, which the people pay to keep
parliament in session?

Wouldn't There Be Trouble ?

it's fact if . printing (► ices started•
tali. g all they knew there would be
a he p of people in trouble."
Wouldn't there be? Whey, a pia,
ing office, and especially that oV
country weekly, is something in the TM
nature of an enlarged confessional.
It is looked upon as a combination of
a bureau . of information and a de-
tective agency.
To it come all the petty complaints
and major grievances of mankind,
and often of womenkink too.
All the shortcomings of private in-
dividuals, as well as those of rich
men, poor men, beggarmen, thiefs,
doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs.
Town councillors, township coun-
cillors, county councillors and mem-
bers of parliament, wouldn't know
themselves if .they saw the pictures
that were painted of them in the
printing offices.
And when it comes to family "his-
tories and the historical background
of public and private individuals—
why the printing office has it over the
Dominion archives like a • tent, al-
though the material remains buried
just as completely.
Not even for a moment could a
printing office open ,up; not even to
collect back subscriptions, and when
they pass up that opportunity, the
world must know that its secrets are
safe in the hands of the printer.
But just for the sake of argument,
suppose the printing offices did start
telling all they knew, wouldn't there
be a heap of people in trouble—in-
cluding the printers?

3100,000 A Dap
That is the amount of money the
Ontario Department of Highways is
said to have taken in during the past
forty days, from the sale of new car
licenses.
When the Minister of Highways
granted only one month's grace to
car owners in which to, purchase
their 1935 markers, there was much
complaint and protest. Hitherto . old
license plates were a familiar sight
'- on the highways until well on into
the spring, and car owners had come
to look upon the practise as a right,
rather than a privilege.
There are arguments on both sides,
but the Minister's contention, in all
probability, was right. He had the
final say at any rate, and when he
spoke, the motor owner harkened to
his voice.
Never have old license plates dis-
appeared as quickly and completely
as they have this year. Car owners
have their new license plates and the
Highway Minister has the money.
All of which is well.
WHAT OTHER( PAPERS SAY.
Not Stolen From Indians
' (Fergus. News -Record)
The statement was made at a recent meeting
in Fergus that "we stole this country from the
Indians." It'•s an old fallacy, probably import-
ed from the United States, where there is some
truth to it. Frequent repetition does not make
it true of Canada, and paricularly of Ontario.
Except for a few French outposts,, there boas
no settlement in Ontario in the F'rench days. The
settlement did not begin on any large scale until
about one hundred and fifty years ago. Certainly
any advances by the white man before that did
not steal any land of any consequence from the
Indians. The French hold over Ontario was al-
ways precarious so long as the Iroquois wars
lasted --though the Iroquois did not inhabit On-
tario.
'When the United Empire Loyalists and other
settlers 'began to arrive in the 1780's and after,.
they did not fight with, drive out, or steal from
the Indians. The reason was very simple. There
were no In•di•anis, except the occasional hunting
party from the far north. The Hurons were gone.
Only a remnant had sturvived the Indian wars.
They hadn't been numerous anyway—ten thou-
saind or so—and in opite of French help, they
were killed or driven out. Some were living in
Quebec on land given them years before by the
French (but which the Hurons had never own-
ed). Others had fled far north and then to whet
later •bec:amie the United States. The Neutrals
teat a similar fate. From the Detroit River . to
the head of the Sit. Lawrence, there Was -nit an
Indian tribe remaining, and on the shores of
Georgian Bay, only a few relies remtained, JTppem
. Canada was a vast empty space, so far as human
residents were concerned.
1Sopthern Ontario has more Indian residents
mow than it .had When the Emiipire Loyalists
came. The reason should be known to all people
along the Grand River valley. The English Gov-
ern'nnientt (or the 'Canadian Government) bought
the tittle to the lands along the river, from the
mouth to Fergus, from a wandering northern..
tribe, which' had no real claim or title to these
lands. Not only was the river valley not "stol-
en" ibut it was bought from "owners" whit had
no eight to it, except that sometimes they had
lrtrnted ia that territogy. And having bought
the and from the Missi'ssau'guas, the Government
presented it to the 'Iroquois, who moved over
from New York State acrd oecupied it, .and whose
descendants still own what they did not sell:
lIt i

S. S. LESSON FOR FEBRUARY -17
Lesson Topic—Peter Teaches Good
Citizenship. (Temperance Lesson)
Lesson Passage—I Peter 2:11-17; 4:
1-5.
Golden Text—Romans 13:10.
Devotional Reading—Psalm 146:5-10.
'"Beloved, I beseech you, so sojourn-
ers and pilgrims, to abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against the
soul; having your behaviour seemly
among the Gentiles; that, wherein
they speak against you as evil -doers,
they may 'by your good works, which
they behold, glorify God in the day
of visitation."
This part of Peter's exhortation
had in view More especially the Gen-
tile converts. Their past life had
been one of evil doing in the sight
of God; those whom they had left
were still walking in the same ways,
and were to be won over and con-
quered for Christ. They must lay
aside the flesh, with its affections and
lusts, and not vindicate their free-
dom by wing it as an occasion to
riot and self-indulgence.
The Apostle binds together all his
teaching about Christian citizenship
in four closing percepts: "',Honor all
nen; Love the ibrotherhood; (fear
God; 'Honor the King." All men
without distinction, are to be honored
bemuse in all there remains the im-
age of God. It may be defaced, blur-
red exceedingly. The more needful
is it to deal considerately with such,
that we relay help to restore what has
been marred.
Those who are our brethren in,
Chrism the cbiroth'enhood we should,
,seek to be of one heart and one soul
with thelml, because they belong to
Christ.
Fear God. Honor the King. Ye
who fear Gad, St. Petery says, should
not let that foremost duty lessen your
willingness to do honor to your earth-
ly rulers.
I Peter 4':1-5.
In this passage we find the lessons
of suffering. The intention of
C'.-'°t's life •was to oppose and over -
me., all that was evil, and to con-
secrate h imself to all grood for the
loivie of his people. This brought him
obloquy while he lived in they world,
an+d in .the end a sihameful death; but
these things did not abate his hatred
of . sin, nor Iesseen his. love for siin-
ners. Ohrist bore willingly all that
was Jaid upon h•iRni that he might
bring men unto Gad. This is the
tspirit .this ,the purpose with which
his followers are to be actuated; to
have the carne strenuous abhorrence
of sin, the same devotion. in them-
sseIves to igoodiness, Which shall 'make
then inflexible, 'however fiercely they
may .he assailed.. He who says,
"Army yourselves'," supplies the 'wea-
pons when his servants need them.
For the sake of Christ, then, and foe
the love of the brethren, the faithful
iharvreane'ed still to be proclaiming, 'Let
the time past mince," and by their
actions -tei testify that they arf wall-
ing da suffer in the 'flesh, if .so • be

ere their brethren to walk in a new
way.
Paul in writing to the Ephesians
declared that they were made for
good works; and ,being brought near
by Christ, should not live as Gen-
tiles and foreigners in time past, but
as citizens with the' saints, and the
family of God. What he said to
them was written for our admonition
and edification, — (The Expositor's

WORLD MISSIONS
Sir Edgar Sanders on the Quality of
Beer
Speafking before the session of the
United Methodist Conference at Read-
ing in June, 1934, Mr. Gerald France,
D.L,, J.P., a member of the recent
Royal Commission on Licensing for
England and Wales, brought some
interesting and valuable opinions of
Sir Edgar Sanders as revealed in his
evidence given before the Commis-
sion on the qualities of beer.
Sir Edgar Sanders was formerly in
charge of the Government's experi-
ment' at Carlisle and has more re-
cently gained notoriety as a director
of the Brewers' Society in which' ca-
pacity he Imlade his now famous de-
liverance at Birmingham advocating
a vast program of beer advertising.
Sir Edgar has presented his state-
ment to the Royal ,Commission and
was under cross examination led by
Mr. France when the following dia-
logue occurred. It should: be noted
thlit beer in Britain is taxed accord-
ing to its alcoholic strength.
Q. "In paragraph 6 of your state-
ment you refer to taxation and the
strength of intoxicants. You speak
there of a real grievance of the work-
ing classes, and go on to say: `The
present strength of intoxicants can-
not be materially increased so long
as taxation is necessary on anything
like its present basis.' Do you think
it is desirable that the present
strength of intoxicants should) be con-
siderably increased?"
A. "I should like to see beer a
little increased in 's'tren'gth.' "
Q "why?„
A. :'Because it largely Tacks the
real quality of beer at present, unless
you pay the higher price. I think
the working man is entitled to his
beverage in the way he has been ac-
customed to have it, more or less. It
is nothing like so sarong as it was
before the War."
Q. "What are the real qualities of
beer?"
A. "Alcohol, chiefly."
Q. "We have been told that 'beer
is a non -intoxicating beverage?"
'A. "Oh, no! If you reduce the
alcohol below a certain point beer is
not worth drinking. Alcohol is the
staple constituent of beer."
Let are sum up: Having admitted
that alcohol is the attraction in beer
and that an increase in its alcoholic
'strength may 'mean some reversal of
the progress towards sobriety, and
having declared that advertising al-
cohol as a beverage is a bad thing --
with these facts before him, with this
knowledge within him, and with these
admissions behind him, what does he
say to his employers, the Brewers,
"Unless you can attract the young-
er generation to take the place of
the older men, there is no doubt that
we shall have to face a steadily fall-
ing consumption of beer. That is
what may happen unless wo do some-
thing to attract and secure the young-
er 'cusetolmer who, in turn, will become
the mainstay of the public house."
And now we have a veritable rake's
progress. Easy indeed is the descent
to Avernus Listen to this:
11 we begin ad'vertis'ing in the
press, we shall see that the etontinua-
tion of our advertising is contingent
upon the fart ,that we gent ,editorial
support as well in the same Papers.
In that iti is wonderful hoy!r. you
