Inbaking pancakes, the 'griddle (much better than a skillet since the cakes are easier to turn on it) should be sizzling hot. 2. It is not necessary to grease elec- tric waffle iron unless fruit is add- ed to batter. Always use salt -free fat—melt fat and dip off the to.p. 3. Surplus fat left in pan smokes and gives -pancakes a strong flavohr." 4. Drop batter from spoon or pitcher ,three' inches in diameter, or one tablespoon to each section of waffle iron. Do not make cakes too thick tip pan to spread—a spoon may touch an, causing cakes to stick. 5.. Bake in electric waffle iron until steam stops coming forth. Bake in griddle until bubbles form, and sur- face is still moist; 'then turn once. 6. Serve pancakes immediately. • ele Cakes •1: 1V chopped I .st. .• e-ecs . • ,•• vea, tile. Add THE QUESTION BOX Due to lack of space, all questions have' been answered direct. Lunch or upper "Deane" mean hated beans and nothieg more to many people, but these useful members of the vege- table family are ve.reatlie too a.nd can be made into a great variety of ex- cellent andaeconomical dishes. Here are two quite different recipes for bean soup from the Consumer Sec- tion of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. • They are sufficiently substantial to serve as main dishes for supper or lunch and they would certainly be appreciated, piping hot from a thermos, by the man, woman ,wr child who carries a lunch box. Mexican Bean Soup le cup dried beans 6 -cups water 2 tablespooas fat 1 clove garlic 3 tablespoons chopped onion 1 tablespoon chopped parsley I cup chopped celery 1/2 shredded cabbage 21/2 teaspoons salt ea teaspoon pepper 1.4 tempoon paprika 1. cup tomato pulp or 2 fresh toma- toes % cup cooked noodles (narrow) Grated cheese. Wash beans, soak overnight, drain. Add water and simmer in a covered soup kettle 11/2-2 hours till beans are almost tender. Melt shortening in a skillet, add finely chopped garlic, on- ion, parsley, celery (leaves may be in- cluded) and cabbage. Saute till light- ly browned. Add to beans with salt, pepper, paprika and tomato pulp or quartered fresh tomatoes. Simmer 30 minutes longer. Add cooked noodles and sprinkle. with grated cheese six generous servings. Salt Cod Hash Freshen cod by washing it in sever - Al waters to remove the salt; then place in cold water, heat to boiling and drain. Repeat if necessary. Shred the fish with two forks.

Every dominion began es a dependency annexed by settlement or conquered by the sword. Moat of them contain conquered minorities of other nationalities or races. Every of teem achieved full self -govern- -et by the practical working out of ea democratic princinles expressed in e demand and capacity of selaeov- rereent, and by the mother country's -illineness to greet it freely. The nrineiple of growth is still active. The eundary between dominions and de- endencies is not fixed and the trend 'e always toward freedom. It is not every -where understood that the self-governing dominions are absolute masters of their own polati- cal destinies. Everyone knows there is a common allegiance to the King who is head of the family and sym- bolises ,the common ideas and aims. But each dominion is perfectly free, without limit or reservation. The proof is in Eire which decided to stay out of the war arid was free to do so to the great hurt of the Empire's cause, ,and with little advantage to her own reputation. We take all this for grant- ed; others might well ponder over it. When they genuinely do comprehend the moral and political achievement which it represents, they will be in a . better position to pronounce upon the qualities and value of that part of the Empire which is still dependent in status. One of the main motives far the ac- quisition of many of the colonial ter- ritories was commercial. Commercial interest still plays a part not always beneficent. But from an early stage this original motive as far as official policy is concerned was influenced to an increasing extent by the motive of duty and the sense of a job to be done for people whom we found in our care. The colonial record has had blote and blemishes. The picture today is far from perfect. '• But no one can ex- plain the progress • that has taken. place since the commencement of the British connection—progress in public order, health, income, education, so- cial services and seed of of citizenship —except by recognizing the Operation of motives and policies quite other than commercial. I :would credit us also with the lay- ing of foundations of a good system 01 law and.public administration. On the whole and with some exceptions, I would 'credit us with a humane, dec7 enafateminde,d attitude toward less adVaneed peoples in our charge. In the weeks after Dunkirk, when there was scarcely a dependency that could not have' not got free from its Brit- ish connection if it had been bursting to do so, the great majority gave tan- gible proof of the most touching loy- alty toatheir British connection. That there has been material pro- gress from which native 'populations have benefitted, I am well aware. But until recently there bas not been en- ough drive, system 'and urgencY about our attempts to organize -the `eeenemic life and better livelihood of the col- onial peoples. For this defect, public opinion at home must beanete share of responsibility. People !have not been interested enough in the colon- ies. If we want 'constructive policies and progressive purposes in colonial government, we cannot expect them to grow ,spontaneousiy out of admin- istrations on the spot. I want, therefore, to see the •adop- ton in still fuller and more practical spirit of the principle of administer- ing the colonies positively for the benefit of their own people. In the long-term sense, the interests of the Colonial people are in line with those of the rest ,of the world. But if there is a conflict of short-term interest— for instance between the needs of the iworld for more raw materials and the needs of colonial peoples to grow more food for themselves—then their need must come first without ques- tion,' And their :Weed for help in man- agement, industrial and agricultural technique and up-to-date methods of distrieution and marketing -should, be met by the operation of 'development boards of other economic agencies un- der some suitable form of putilic con- trol. ,Nowhere in, the World, is abere a stronger case for the enlightened work of Such public economic instru- mentalities than in the colonies.

Once a community has reached the point of enlightenment and education where it is aware of the plight of its unfortunate citizens, there is an im- perative moraleobligation upon it to care for them. I see no practical rea- son why it should not be done. I feel that cautious, niggling worldly wis- dom and counting chances while chil- dren go hungry would be a miserable foundation for our future life together as a family. The right basis to start froth is that there shbuld not be any standing army of unemployed, any sick of a preventable disease, any el- derly people decrepit and infirm be- fore their allotted span. Security is like happiness. If you put it first and make it your aim, you lose it. And it is like peace. If you make it an isolated object of policy, you lose it. I think this is at the back of the minds of those _who fear that sehemes 'of social security maysaP People's initiative and enterprise and rob them' of the will to work. They see the need of a spirit of effort, ini- tiative arid adventure, and I agree With them. If people have security and no purpose, ne sense of loyalty to something beyond themselves, they will relapse into inertia.

Some forms of econ- omic activity, Like postal and telegra- phic communications, would respond well to ownership and managembet. by a department of state. But there are keels of business where individual en- terprise has a let of value even in inedern con,ditiorisc-emall businesses and some kind e of medium and small- scale manufacture. Here the answer may be that the community will best serve itself by standing aide, apart from insisting upon prober 'business practice and standard minimum pay and conditions for employees of •all grades. - There will be a substantial- place foi. the co-operative movement in trade and agricultural production and marketing.

We shall have to appinach all problems on the basis that the interest of the community comes first. We should have an an- nual economic and industrialbudget as we now have an annual financial budget. We shall need each year a statement of cost, not merely of the government social services and the armed forces, but also of the national needs for wages and salaries, new capital outlay and capital repairs and renewala. We shall have to estimate the size of the state budget and the undone' income as a whole and relate it to the demaeds we 'want to make upon it.
