Fine Memorial Window
Many comumembs were heard rtIlis
week of the window of the T. S. Ford
Co. store in memory of the late T.
S. Ford. The window was draped
with a purple and blank blaekground,
and standing out against this was a
beautiful bouquet of cut flowers com-
prising calla lilies, carnations, snap-
dragons and . other flowers, beneath
which was a beautifully designed "in
Memoriam" card: The window repre-
sented respect to the memory of the
tread of this 60 -year-old firm, and dis-
playeda simple dignity in keeping
with .the late Mr. Fiords personality.

ain:ce /914. And with what items, he
asks the Globe and; Mail publisher,
should the axe of retrenchment be-
gin?
The problem which Mr. Deaeb®an'
preeents is a stubborn one which ha.s
defied better minds than Messrs, Mc-
Cullagh 'and Heraidlge possess to yield
an answer. It can be asserted with
complete assurance that Finance Min -1
ister Charles Dunning is wrestling
with this problean at the present 'mo-
ment and has been so engaged ever
sth ce they took office in 1935. The
Mame applied to Rt. Hon. R. 13. Ben-
nett. .And the same applies to Hon.
R. J. Manion. If any obvious prac-
tical answer existed to the proble
of reducing Federal .expenditures--'
which is a proposition upon which all
Federal circles agree in principle --
some one or other of these eminent
public servants would have supplied
it within recent years.
The truth is ,that it is much easier
to criticize the expenditures of gov-
ernment than it is to reform them.
And the reason is that the great bulk
of the expenditures are contractual.
And the only way in which a con-
tractual expenditure can. be reduced
is by failing to fulfil the contract—
in other words, by repudiation. As
yet, no government of Canada !has
suggested that resort should be had
to this expedient. And the prevailing
idem. on Parliament Hill is that no
suggestion could possibly be made
which would evoke a greater reaction
of 'horror among the McCullagh cru-
saders than this same proposal of
seizing upon repudiation as the way
lout of the present national difficul-
ties,

Woman Suffered 10 Years
"Since 'coining here from Eln:glornd
10 years ago," writes a married wo-
man, "I have suffered badly from
rheumatic pains. I bought medicine,
Notions, liniments, and have taken con-
coctions until I was tired spending

so - often, that I thought one day I'd
try that. By this time my knees were
frequently full of terrible pains. I
bought a bottle of Krusehen, and took
a teaspoonful every morning. It had
no :effect. But my husband said 'Per-
severe! Give it a chane to act.' Well,
I did and: before long my knees were

there. Her lines of communication
are so extended that even with an
army of -half a million men it would
be difficult to concentrate large forces
in any one place.
After occupying North China for ov-
er a year, Japan controls only a nar-
row strip along the railway lines. The
area between contains a teeming Chin-
ese population of tens of millions liv-
ing on the land and self-contained.
Most of these people have never seen
a Japanese uniform. From these re-
servoirs of manpower and" supplies,
guerilla forces are organized, which
attack the Japanese garrisons, cut the
railway lines, and then swiftly re-
treat. The Japanese method of retal-
iation is to make incursions into the
interior, destroy the villages from
whiob the attack seemed to emanate,
and then return to their bases. This
is a costly process and it seems pos-
sible for Japan to bring order in this
vast territory only through the co-
operation of tare Chinese. It is the
hope of the Chinese that Japan's
economy will crack under the strain
of keeping so huge a force in the
field, Thus far, the Japanese morale
seems unshaken. -
`)Vow that positional warfare has
ceased, the Chinese need is not for
heavy equipment, but for rifles, small
arms ,ammunition, and explosives.
Chiang Kai-shek has moved his arsen-
als into the far West, although, it is
doubtful whether they are able to
produce anything but small arms and
ammunition and perhaps a few trench
mortars. For guerilla warfare, how-
ever, this is all that is required.

China's Favorite
Kind of War
Japanese hostilities in China have
entered upon a new phase. After the
fall of Hankow, late in, October, Gen-
eral Chiang Kai-shek moved his capi-
tal, Chunking, 1,400 miles inland from
the coast_ Though it was then. 'sup-
posed that the Japanese wouldbe con-
tent to consolidate their conquests,
General Hata soon announced that
Japanese troops would pursue Chiang
Kai-sthek to the furthest frontiers of
China. '
Positional battles with large bodies,
of troops have given way to a cam-
paign of provocative raids, ambushes,
and rapid retreats, which is the tradi-
tional method of Chinese guerilla war-
fare; but on a much larger scale than
has been known.
The conflict has put a severe strain
on Japanese economy. In 1931, before
her attack on Manchuria had develop-
ed, the YrationaJ debt stood at 4,500,-
000,000 yen, by 1937 it bad increase(;
to 9,500,000,000, and it has now pase-
e(1 20,000,000,000.
China is not industrialized like Ja-
pan, so her •purchases have been most-
ly finished product -a, munitions and
.,'rplarne:s. China has paid for these
supplies by exports, barter agree-
ments such as those arranged with
Germany, foreign credits, which she
seems to have been able to arrange,
especially with Russia, and silver
shipalnents. It is known that. sfhe has
rent abroad over . 1,000,00.0,000 Chin-
ese dollars.
,Japan has about a million men. on
the mainland of Asia. A part of
these are in Manchuria, but the bulk
of them are scattered along the 6,001)
miles of Chinese railways and 700
miles up -the Yangt>se River. As long
as Chinese resistance continued in
any force, Japan will need to keep
the greater portion of these troops
ITS AIRTIGHT
WRAPPER
KEEPS IT PURE,
FULL-STRENGTH
Tuesday, March 14
At the opening • of today's sitting
the Prime Minister gave some infor-
mation regarding what will take place
when Their Majesties are in Canada.
In brief, It was stated) that if the
House is ready to prorogue, the King
will perform these Ceremonies. If not,
he will act in the Senate to give royal
assent to certain: bills.
T ttre will bei a,parliamentary dun-
ner at wrhidh all members of the
House and Senate with their wives or
ladies will be present. There will be
a garden•party at Rideau Hall at
which only citizens of Ottawa will be
able to secure tickets to attend. Other
announcements will be made 'later
when it is clearer what progress the
House is making with*the business.
Today the Minister of National Rev-
enue gave notice of introducing a bill
governing small- loan companies. This
is a very important bill, as there are
small -loan cont panies who are trying
to give honest and useful serve*. On
the other hand, there is the loan
shark, who is bleeding his victims to
an extent that should never be per-
mitted.
The main feature of the dray was
the Bill creating a Defence Purchas='
ing Board. • ,The opening, moments
were again narked by another con-
troversy between the Prime Minister
and the Leader of the Opposition re-
garding the wasting of the time of
the House.
Jean Francois Pouliot again made
attacks on some of the civil servants;
and he was called, bo order by the
Speaker and finally the Prime Minis-
ter •had to take a hand to get the. de-
bate back to the resolution concern-
ing the appointment of a prirchasting
board. Criticism came from all groups
of the Opposition against the Pur-
cbasring Board as provided by the bill.
Phe bill is evidently an honest at-
tempt by the Minister of National
Defence to place the letting of muni-
tion contracts above suspicion, That,
of course, will not be wholly accomp-
lished.

..One of Canada's greatest problems,
namely the problem of unemployment.,
was+ tthe chief topic discussed to-da.y.
'Phis has beconne an aiinlLal affia]r.
Deaton Massey has been waiting for
weeks for the opportunir!y Of discuae-
ing this important question. The op-
portunity came to -day when Hon. Me.
Rogers introduced his bill dealing
with relief. This bill will provide
that relief will be fir.a:,(•rd by the

tortions in some nescsp;rpers and per-
iodicals, and said that freedom of the
press was an empty phrase unless h'
stuck to the truth and sought the de-
struction .of error.
He illustrated the points he had in
mind. One was the repeated• refer-
ence to over a million on, relief, when
the number i.nclud•ed children, aged
people, farmers in distress and unem-
ployablei .
Similarly there 'has been a Picture
of a hundred thousand. to 185 thou-
sand transients moving around, where
as the number, the Minister said, was
less than len thousand. Again the
idle youfih was given at 400,000. En-
quiry Thad disclosed that this, included
all young Canadians between fifteen
and thirty years of age, including
those living on farrns-
A lot of statistics were put on the
record regarding this problem. In-
deed:, so many figures were quoted
that it would require a good memory
to be able to repeat them. Mr. Mas-
sey ridiculed all of tee contentions of
the Minister and claimed that the
Government had failed too solve this
problem. Mr. Mn tsey loses :himself
in debate and resorts to language
that he would nor use in his Sunday
school class...
It is most. unfortunate to see a per-
son occupying the position he does,
have to withdraw real cuss words in
a debate in the Ilouse of Commons.

when the House adjourned, but the

hat the chance of his driving the Jap -

cseible offensive weapon new is his

lent numbers, he might be able to

The supreme need ,qf ,the D aim's n
of Canada today is mere, tgar tette bat
it is worth while looldng at what hen
actuallybeen done. When these
things were distant dreams and hopes
they seemed beyond our reach. Now
they, have come to pass. It is time,
therefore, that we put a proper va-
lue on thethings wthioh have thap-
paned.
Cattle raising IS once of the most
impor •ant phases of agriculture in
Huron Y'' County. Since 1936 the fel-
lowin changes have taken place in
the tariff•on cattle) entailing the Unit-
ed States from Canada:
Prior to Under New
1935 Agreement
Cattle weighing less
than 200 lbs., calves tic lb. L%c 1'b.
Cattle weighing 700
or more each, dairy
cows 3c Ib. 3c lb.
Cattle weighing 700
or more each, not spe-
cially provided for, . 3c lb. 11/2c lb.
Not only has the rate, been sub-
stantially •eut--in two categories it
has actually been eut in two, but the
quota which we are allowed to export
to the United States is now larger
than it has ever been before. On
calves the weight limit whish is now
200 pounds, was formerly 175 pounds.
The old quota was 51,933 head, The
new agreement allows export of 100,-
000 (head, which is more than we
Have previously supplied to the Unit-
ed States market.
There was formerly a quota of 20,-
000 on dairy cows. There is now no
limit.
On cattle 700 pounds or over, the
old quota on the 1935 agreement was
roughly 156,000 head, of which ap-
proximately 13 per cent. was taken
by Mexico, allowing about 136,000
head for Canada. The new agreement
calls for 225,000 head and, after the
allowances to Mexico which comes un-
der the same quota, the balance avail-
able for Canada is 194,000 head, prob-
ably substantially more than we will
be able to export this year.
Total net marketings of Canadian
cattle in a year on all markets is
roughly 1,0-00,000 head. It has ex-
ceeded that substantially in two or'
three years when, through scarcity of
feed there was abnormal selling. It
is worth while considering what would
happen to the Canadian market if the
American market were closed off by
the former high rates of duty. The
result would be congestion on the
Canadian market and a much lower
price for live t.'ck than we are now
rece1vin•g.

sap in the maple trees begins to run
usually :hnut 1),e mi;s,ile of March
and continues until early in April.
This year the prospects are good for
an encs' :raging yield of high quality.
It ,is exitedted. that not more than
about 20,000,000 trees will be tapped
in 1939, due to bhe serious damage
caused by the hurricane which: swept
through the Eastern States and a con-
siderable part of Eastern Canada last
September. In most years about 24,-
000,000 trcez are tapped in the Prov-
inces of Quebec, Ontario, New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia, although there
are, it is estimated, approximately
70,000,000 trees capable of production.
In 1938 the total production of
maple syrup ,In Canada was 2,955,300
gallons, valued at $3,479,440, and the
total output of maple sugar was
3,455,900 pounds with a value of $370.-
500, making an aggregate value for
maple products last year of $3,849,000.
the highest for several years. The
Province of Quebec accounted for a-
bout 90 per cent of all the maple sy-
rup produced in Canada in 1938 and
for nearly 80 per cent of the total out-
put of maple sugar. A considerable
percentage of rhe production of maple
products in the Province of Quebec iS ,
marketed by farmers' co-operative or-
ganizations.
Sap running times comes at a per-
iod of the year when there is little
other activity on the farm and the
harvest of maple products provides
the farmer with money to buy seers
and other necessities for the busy sea-
son that begins a few weeks after,
work is over in the maple bush.
The new maple syrup and sugar will
be en the market in. a short time:.
