Without Politics
Premier Hepburn is generally
credited by his political opposites
with being a very strong party man;
one who can see no good in a political
opponent, and one whose political
appointments are strong proof of
this contention.
But there are exceptions. Prem-
ier Hepburn has recently made a
political appointment, and a very im-
portant one' too, into which politics
did not enter. This was the appoint-
ment of Hon. G. Howard Ferguson,
former Prime Minister of Ontario,
to the Board of Governors of the
University of Toronto.
And the Premier is beim' congrat-
ulated on his selection of the new
governor. And he should be. Hon.
G. Howard Ferguson may .be a Tory
of the Tories, but at the same time,
he is one of the most distinguished
graduates of that University, as well
as being a former Minister of Edu-
cation of the Province of Ontario.
Mr. Ferguson has always exhibit-
ed keen interest in the affairs of his
Alma Mater and his training and ex-
perience in educational problems '
makes him eminently qualified to ful-
fill his new duties with credit to him-
self and to the welfare and advant-
age of the University of Toronto.

Mussolini Is Less War Like
It has been a pretty jittery world
for the past week or two, and the
fact that Mussolini was due to make
an important speech on the twen-
tieth anniversary of his Fascist rule
in Italy, did not have the effect of
quieting the world's nerves at all.
But Mussolini ' spoke on Sunday
and his speech seemed to lack the
hysterical note and threat contained
in most of his other efforts. In fact,
it would appear as if Mussolini was
beginning to find himself in a posi-
tion between the devil and the deep
blue sea_ He does not want to offend
Hitler, but he would like to have the
sympathy of France.
Heretofore when ever Mussolini's
meets have shown the slightest
s';nns weariness, as in rtnopia,
there has been no concilliation in his
-attitude whatever. He is the man of
action and the all conquering war
lord_
But France is not Ethopia, and the
recent absolute refusal of France to
make any :concessions by force have,'
it would seem, given Mussolini cause
for thought instead of action.
Again it may be that Mussolini is
beginning to see that hisclose part-
nership with Hitler is not all he ex-
pected or hoped it would be. ' That
Hitler is for Hitler first and for Italy
any old time after. , That Hitler has
taken all the gains and left all the
burdens and losses for Italy to bear.
Whatever the cause, it is apparent
that Mussolini is not .,ready for a
show -down at the present time. He
does not want to enter into war
blindly, with only Hitler as his .part-
ner. Hence the concilliatory note in
his speech on Sunday. That may not
mean much, but it is something. It
is,\ at least, the first indication of a
more peaceful trend in European af-
fairs.

Some Canadians Have
Incomes Too
A short time ago we instanced
some citizens of the United States
who were in possession of some very
substantial incomes. But while there
are, probably, more wealthy men in
t the United States than ' any other
.country in the world, it is quite evi-
*dent by the report of Hon. Mr. XIs'ley,
mister of Revenue in the Dominion
tInet, that there are not ,a few
Mang who are in possession, of
'erabie incomes too.
'et' there'' ars three hundred
r•.
and eighty-two Canadians who are
in receipt of an income of fifty thou-
sand dollars or more. How much
more some of these incomes amount
to is not.stated, but it is well known
that there is more than one Canadian
in receipt of an income of a million
dollars a year, and some others not
so very far below that figure:
It is really very nice to be in a posi-
tion like that, but it would be a great
deal nicer for these fortunate indi-
viduals, if they did not have to reck-
on with the Government over these
incomes.
But the Government has to be
reckoned with and there are no fairy
fingers about the Government's
touch either. In fact, these three
hundred and eighty-two fifty thou-
sand income fellows paid the Govern-
ment $14,027,000 in 1937, and that
was 33.94 per cent. of the total indi-
vidual income tax paid' in that year.
However, you do not have to be a
fifty thousand dollar a year man be -
for the Gotiyernment, will recognize
you. Not at all. The Government is
'not at all,high hat and uppish. Far
froni it. In fact, the Government is
just as fond of the little two thou-
sand a year man as it is of the fifty
thousand one, and pays him just as
Much attention.
There were 106,764persons with
salaries up to two thousand dollars
who paid the Government $1,152,000
in 1937, when the Government's to-
tal receipts from income taxes Were
$120,364,000. And from the Govern-
ment's standpoint, the year 1938 was
even better, as Mr. Ilsley estimated
the Government would have an in-
come of $140,000,000 from that
source irom last year.

Looking Over The Hill
Science has come to the aid of the
motorist and to the aid of the pedes-
trian too. We are told that the Great-
er New York Safety Council, after
six years of experimenting, has per-
fected a two-way mirror, that will
enable the motorist to see the other
side of a hill.
The glass is thirteen feet wide and
four feet high and is set above 'the
middle of the road at the top of the
hill. The mirror is set under a can-
opy to prevent rain or snow obscur-
ing the view, and, we' are told, it is
as effective at night as in the day
time.
The new invention gives the mo-
torist who is going up one side of the
hill, a clear vistibility for two thou-
sand feet down the opposite side, so
he can see cars, pedestrians, children
and the scenes along the roadside be-
fore he reaches the crest.
That is some invention and we
hope the Ontario Depa> ti lent of
Highways will use 00ine of the pro-
posed incrcias0 in the gasoline tax to
instal it on our provincial roads. It
would be well,' too, to ear -mark some
of this additional money out of the
motorist's pocket, right now, before
it is absorbed by other government
departments where most of the pres-
ent gas tax goes.
In the meantime, let science carry
on. Let it invent a gadget that will
show a motorist, as well as tell him,
at a distance of two thousand feet,
or even less, when another motorist
is going to cut in or cut out of traf-
fic; when children, like chickens, are
going to cross the road to get on the
other side, and when cars are going
to turn, stop or start without the
drivers making any signals.
Or whether the average truck, as
well Pas the ten -ton one with the
string of freight cars behind it, is
going to keep, on coming down the
middle of the road, or whether their
drivers, even at the last minute, are
going to turn out, -so you can stay on
the road, instead of diving for the
ditch.-
But after all, great as science is,
it can not remake human nature.

Just thee 'hours was spent today
dis('ussing tto- motion passed by the

fect.that the committee visit the In-
glis Plaut and see firsthand what sort
of a plant it is.
The great objection in the House
today was in regard to the coot ;h-
volved'- i.t was d'esc!•ibtd as a joy-
ride and many sunh phrases as that
were used. All this took place in
spite of the fact that the Liberals in
the committee declared their inter'•
tion of going at their own expense.
During the whole debate on the
Been gun the charge was repeatedly
made that this plant was an old brok-
en-down boiler factory. Now it is ap-
parent there are those who do not
want the boys to see the plant, even
if they are willing to go at their ow -n
expense. Mr. King reminded the
House that the Dost or the committee
visiting the plant, even if expenses
were paid, was insignificant compar-
ed with the cost these charges have
involved. At about 5.45 p.m. the vote
was taken and the amendment of
Grant, MacNeil, M,P., was defeated
137 to 50.
The evening session was devoted to
the bill of Hon. Ian Mackenzie, which
sets' up a purchasing board for the De-

made and only a few clauses remain

The )louse of Commons presented
the aspect of a ttnited front if war
should come out of the menacing in-
ternational situation. This at all ev-
t;nts will be so if the issue proves to
be as would seem probable, that of
human liberty verso's totalitarian
tyranny.
It was expected that some an-
nouncement would be made; with that
in mind the galleries' were crowded.
The Prime Minister had been busy
end was a few minutes late in the
House, and in his hurry he had miss-
ed one page of his notes, When 'he
was snaking this statement this was
missed and he had to go back to his
office and get this page. During this
lime the House went on with its busi-
ness. Then the Prime Minister came
#n and completed his statement which
was, of course, to tthe effect that if
Britain and the democracies were at-
tacked, Canada would immediately be
at, war rightbeside the other dem-
ocracies, After Mr. King's an'noun'ce-
men•t. Dr. Manion arose and en domed
the stand taken and assured the Gov-
` ernment that the Conservative opposi-
tion _would work in harmony with the
Govilf't"r'ment, should a serious situation
arise. Mr. King said he hart been
taken to task a short time ago when
he referred to s'erieut situation's that
may arise, but it was quite evident
now that his talk was quite justified.
Mr. Woodswortls thought that the
League of Nations might still be use-
ful, and; he also thought that this
country should be careful In regard to
where they are sending the materials
for war. This announcement over-
shadowed the other Matters' that
came before the House during the
day.

on the trade agreement items, and
