Ax Notable Address.
In his address to the students +of
St. Xavier University, Nova Scotia,
of which he is a graduate., Premier
Macdonald -of that Province issued a
challenge to the ,young men and wo-
men that should be widely read and
studied.
In part he said:, "The great'prob
le=nsof your generation wilt be the
problems, of government. There are
those who -show great interest in the -
sort .of houses they' live in, or in the
kind of cars-' they drive, or in the
. ' ;,conditions of the clubs to which'they
belong, but who look on government
as something remote and inconse-
, quentiaL It is. something that has to
be endured, something that -trusts it-
self • before ,wthem occasionally—for.
example, in- election times- .or: when
one' unpopular -measure of taxation, m_.:
is introduced. It is, therefore, some-
thing to be grumbled at, and con-
dernned, and the politicians who are
i,, charge of the matter ' are to be
looked at with disdain dr even .con-
temptt.
"Let' me ask such people if any-
thing has affected their lives and the
lives of all, human beings more sharp-
ly, more definitely, than the war
'through • which we.: have passed? Yet
the great issue of making- war and
the equally great issue of framing an
• abiding peace have to be decided by
governments. And above and beyond'
war arid, peace,. governments are, by
the very nature and complexity of
modern life,' 'compelled to, extend the.,
• scope of, their, activities. Hence the
impact of their policies and measures
is felt by ,every citizen in the land,
and often the people of other coun-
tries as well.
"The world in the last generation
has become a much smaller place. It
is . more true now than ever before
that '-we are -all members-- one of an-
ogler. We are all affected by condi-
tions and developments arising in no
matter' what part of the world: We
-must therefore be alert to' observe
the play of, world forces—we must
know *hat to avoid as' well as what
to imitate.
"Our ' own -country- ':presents a
greatly changed . aspect in the last.
- :few years. This new', garb we have
'put on, these new glories that we
have won carry their own great re-
sponsibilities. There ' is muchtalk of
rights and privileges in the world;
these words fall glibly from the lips,.
of every. demagogue. Let us not for -
,get; that there are also responsibili-
:,ties and obligations and that the '
rights and privileges. without a sense
of duty and responsibility are dan-
gerous Things. "
• "I suggest . to you, then, no matter
• in what state or province you may
.' dwell, that you give your interest to
the problems of government. After
all, you owe something to your coun-
try besides rates -and and taxes, and the
minimum is 'a doge and intelligent
N....., interest in: public affairs. Pixblic. •
leadership may take. .many' forms
apart: from the holding of public of-
fice. The • employer•=of labor, • the
teacher, the clergyman , the doctor,
the lawyer, the man of business, the . • '
ordinary citizen, all lave the .oppor-
;: " tuhity: and . the privilege' of offering
leadership in them: commu'ni'ties.'
"If the call to public office comes
•
`44 -ii -any cit you, let me express the hope
that stou will -heed it."
Yea' a age. ,
phis Medical school ww come to
in ,at Toast looks lit •,a, vorahle
bother' }.s' that the inedioal •
'sclbools have stopped- scoffing • and
-sniffing ;at tk eir girl students, and
=are beginning to place' them on the ,.
same tplane with the males.
That is a sign - of progress, but
there, is still a long way to o, be-
cause after graduating, the going is
doc-
tors. very tough for, the women ac-
tors.
These female doctors find, it ex-
ceedingly hard -to get internships,. ' '
which -there, as here, are a necessary
r part of their training. It is -possible
this is because few hospitals; even
the larger ones, have separate living
quarters for women internes. '
Likewise, women; doctors find it
very, very hard to get positions as
resident doctors, or to get male pat-
ients. As yet for most there are
only. 'two kinds •of doctoring.open to
them. These are obstetricts and
child care. All else seems to be "a
closed corporation as far as women
are concerned.
But women are• a persistent and
persevering race When they I
aket"
up their Mindsthat they want "some
thin, it takes more than a mere male
to • stop,,, them from accomp1ishingf'
their goal.' And females having made
up their minds that they are, going
to be doctors—doctors they will be.
Just note the progress they have al-
ready made.

Criticism of Labor
In a recent .address delivered be-
fore -the Associated Boards of Trade
of Manitoba by its president, Mr.
McKenzie, there were some things
bluntly said. But they were honest
and needed saying. '
The speaker;, pointed out that. the •
• labor strikes from which Canada has
` suffered in the first year after the.
war, ha -d so seriously ,retarded re-
conStruction that -our chances of -ob-
taining an adequate share' of the
world's markets had ,.been very ser-
iously affected. Thatthat year was
Canada's most favorable opportun-
ity for gaining world trade, and our
" failure to seize ' it has had an ad-
verse effect that may, possibly, be
, long felt. -
He said further: ' "We had then
economic advantages and a huge 'in-
dustrial -machine geared ready for
action. Instead ,thousands of indus-
trial workers led • by, • demagogues
seeking to ruthlessly exploit them for
reasons that did not reflect the na-
tion's interests, engaged. in illegal
strikes.
"There=was unnecessary bickering
fob :a �leyel'
of ---Wages and working
conditions that, if granted, would
have created a production 'cost so
high as to make impossible -the de-
velopment of the large export mar- •
kets. and, at the same time, add -to
the cost of living • in Canada."..
We in Canada know very well that
these excessive demands . and the
strikes resulting from them• at
a
timewhen the supply was far short
of the demand, resulted'in greatly, in-
creased prices. But what we fail to
realize as clearly, -is the fact that the
strikes resulted .in our failure to
gain -the export markets that .were
then available and open to us.
But we will learn later when our..
own demands have been-metby in-
, dusti'y:.that these export markets will
not then be available' to :absorb our
additional, produ.ction,. - and we will .'
have no assurance of continued full
employment: Arid in that event it is
just as sure that labor will lose out;
.in even greater proportion, to the
restof , the country.
