Seventy -First Year
FROM THE DOMINION
• CAPITAL
Parliament is back in Ottawa this
week after a recess, longer than us-
ual, which dates back to the middle
of June. About the opening was all
thei traditional splendor of military
and social display to which, annually,
great numbers are attracted here.
While many are intereeted in this
fashion parade----tecause,that, essen-
tially, is what it is—much more gen-
eral interest attaches to the business
of parliament and the maneuvers of
political parties. The session is like-
ly to be long. Conceivably, it may be
the last. For, while parliament is
elected for five years, it can be dis-
clved whenever the occasion is
thought to arise and a certain usage
suggests an election every four years.
'When this doesn't happen a govern-
ment is often accused of being afraid
and, usually, those which went to the
limit encountered the desolation of
defeat.
So far as this year is concerned,
there are certain reasons which might
be invoked against an election. The
main one is the imperial.- and, •eco-'
mimic conference in London, which
1i:dusters must attend next autumn,
and which is usually the time of elec-
ton. This conference may rip up the
'fiscal fabric of the whole Empire bu;
again, it may not and if the election
were put off because of this gather-
ing and nothing came of it, the poli-
tical reaction would not be helpful
to ;the government. Thus, while no
definite forecast is possible, the out-
look for the people being consulted
this year is becoming much more pro-
nounced than it was a few months
ago. When it does occur it promises
to be a rip-roaring affair, with public
questions mixed in some quarters
with such disturbing and dissolving
factors as race and religion.
Big Programme Ahead.
The parliamentary programme is an
encompassing one. Much of it is
controversial. What isn't so, inher-
ently, will be made se. Outstanding,'
of course, is the tariff. From the ut-
terance at Regina recently of the fie
name minister, the probability of.
much change is not promising. Wheat
adjustments there are—and they may
be rather numerous—will be down as
well as up, maintaining the average
equilibrium.
The Liberal party is not going in
for high protection. It would be use-
less to do so. It would be accused of
stealing the clothes and thunder of
its opponents and would get no credit
in that quarter, while it would enlist
the hostility of the low tariff elements
which support it always professed.
• U. S. Tariff Means. Trouble.
About the time the budget comes
down here it will be known what
Washington is going to do. There is
little reason to doubt that Canadian
agriculture at least will be adversely
affected. The Conservatives are cer-
tain to raise a big fuss. They have
been raising one for months. Perhaps
there could be no greater source of -
elation to that party than a great big
thumping tariff across the line, di-
rectly aimed at Canada. It would
arouse some prejudices which are la-
tent and have been cultivated before
this, while furnishing, at the same
time, an argument for adopting the
same kind of policy, though not nec-
essarily as retaliation. It would be
what a Conservative leader called for
last sessionPa red blooded Canadian
policy.” Let Washington do its worst
and elevate its fence to its heart's
content. At least the Conservatives,
protectionist party of Canada, will not
be displeased.
The present government, however,
will find embarrassment in any such
course. It finds it, already, in the
mere prospect of such action. Never-
theless, it is unlikely to hit back by
deserting its present policy, held to
provide a fairly adequate protection
for the manufacturer without over-
looking the interest of the consuming
masses. On some things, the tariff
against the United States may be pin
up but the undoubted tendency and
trend is towards an alternative policy
of seeking a substitutional market in
the empire and of extending such
preferences as will bring it about.
Lively Session Ahead.
Beside the tariff there will be a lot
a things this session. Th d return to
western provinces of their public do-
main, the regulation of radio, better-
ents in respect of soldiers' pensions;
consolidation and tightening of the
grain act; possibly legislation about
the border liquor situation and a lot
of small stuff, to say nothing of those
Issues which the opposition will raise
on its particular initiative. With the
possibility of a general election comes
an increased stimulus to party war
fare. Thus, the session is likely to
be long, lively and highly contro-
versial.
SEAFORTH, FRIDAi FEBRUARY 28, 1930.
Cuba had the setting of pirates or have been reading and studying the
buccanees, the latter derived fromisubject of diet the past ten years you
are much out of date.
Perhaps you have not learned that
at Harvard University experiments
on monloses carried out during the
past ten years have proved that most
of the common ' tooth troubles and
most common diseaSes of children cum
beeproduced by diet or prevented by
diet.
A study of the effects of hot as
compared with cold lunches made in
Kansas a few years ago showed that
the boys and girls who had the bene-
fit of hot lunches made a twenty-eight
per cent. better gain in growth than
those who did not have hot lunches.
Observations of both attendance and
scholarship showed, that attendance
and scholarship both improved with
this gain in health.
Parents and others who are inter-
ested in the health and progress of
children will do well to send trvienty-
five cents to The Canadian Council on
Child Welfare, Plaza' Building, Ot-
tawa, for their booklet, "Hot Lunches
for Schools in Rural Districts, An
Investment in Health." This valuable
booklet by Myrtle Hayward, B.S.,
School of 11-1ouseho1d Science, Mac-
donald College, McGill University,
contains a wealth of useable informa-
tion on food for school children,
•the !Spnish word "boucans," meaning
butehers. Among the notorious of
these sea -faring cut-throats were
Howell Davis, Bart Roberts and Stede
Bennett, who was hanged in Charles-
ton in 1718.
Britain being continuously at war
with Spain, the piratical exploits of
these free-lance rovers of the Seas
were received with national praise and
among the famous British buccaneers
were Mansfield and Morgan. The lat-
ter whn a boy was kidnapped by
some sailors in Wales and sold to
slavers in the Barbadoes. After his
escape from slavery, and landieg in
Jamaica, his bravery was recognized
by the Governor and he was given
command of an expeditionary force
to capture Cuba, which was accomp-
lished and with the aid of Mansfield
stormed and looted Havana.
The King of Brintain in aknow-
ledgement •of his •brilliant victory,
raised him to the peerage as Sir
Henry Morgan and appointed him
Governor of Jamaica. His brother,
Captain Charles Morgan, was a blood-
thirsty soundrel, who married his fe-
male captives, and at his death had
116 children and these are known as
present date inhabitants.
Another of the famous buccaneers,
the inventor of the "jolly roger," was
Captain Kidd, whose fabulous fortune
of £14,000 pounds was recently dis-
covered on the coast of Cuba. The
Captain was hanged in England in
1701. Among the pirates of lesser
note was the Frenchman L'011onais,
who slew ninety Spaniards with his
own sword before eating breakfast.
There was also Coxen, Lawkins, Sharp
and Walling, and Captain Cook known
as "the pirate of the south seas," to-
gether with Captains Davis, Swan
and Townley, the latter name is still
prominent in Cuba. There was also
that fiend incarnate Hernando Cortos,
who was so blood -thirsty that the
King ordered him to return to Spain,
but the imperial decree was treated
witli scorn and he burned his ships
and remained in Cuba. Negro slaves
were brought from Africa by the pir-
ates to Cuba as the Indians preferred
death to slavery. The Spaniards act-
ed along scientific lines in breeding
slaves. An able-bodied negro was ac-
corded twenty wives and if the yield
of slave children seemed dispropor-
tionate, a severe flogging was admin-
istered. Slave children when able to
walk were set to work.
In journeying from Key West, Flor-
ida, the Steamship Northland entered
Havana harbor and passed Morro
Castle and Cabana Fortress, where
stirring scenes of past centuries were
enacted, and docked near the spat
where the U. S. warship Maine was
sunk, which caused the Spanish -Amer -
can War and the liberation of Cuba
known as the richest island in the
world. The Maine explosion is com-
memorated by a monument of classic
lines, erected in a beautiful park fac-
ing the ocean. The disaster occurred
in 1898 in which 253 people lost their
lives. Two cannons and connecting
chains taken from the Maine adorn
the monument, together with two
sculptors impersonating grief and a
bronze plate, bearing the names of
the victims is shown.
It is now a conceded fact that the
Spaniards did not destroy the Maine,
as the explosion came from the in-
terior of the vessel, as sailors were
torn to atoms and thrown 504) feet to
the opposite side of the harbor. To
generalize on monuments there are
scores erected commemorative of
Cuban patriotism throughout the city,
in fact Havana may be termed a city
of monuments.
The financial and economic condi-
tion of the Republic are largely con-
trolled by British and American capi-
tal as evidenced by the names of the
directors of railways, banks and other
large corporate business enterprises.
Branches of the Bank of Nova Seethe
Royal Bank of Canada and ,the Can-
adian Beek of Commerce are scatter-
ed throughout the city and Cuba gen-
erally. The paper currency of the
United States is solely in use through-
out Cuba, ranging from ope dollar up-
wards. Cuban silver is urrent up to
one dollar and comprised in one, two,
five, ten, twenty and forty cent coin-
age. The calculation is easy.

WHO'S WHO! WHAT'S
WHAT, AND WHY?
(By F. G. Neeln, Seaforth, Ontario.)
Dear Expositor:
Columbus discovered Cuba on
October 28, 1492. He did not discover
the mainbird of North America, and
died believing that Cuba was the
mainland of Asia, as described in the
writings of Marco Palo. At the time
of discovery of the island, a better
class etribe of Indians knowe as
ISibeeks, inhabited towns and vil-
ages, the capitol being Penrto Prin-
cipe, now Camaguey, a fishing. village.
The Spaniards brought with them the
Muse a slavery to a free people,
whom they ravished, pillaged and tor-
tured in a mest barbarous manner.

CHATS ON EDUCATION
(At the Principal's Desk)
How many parents realize how
much physical condition has to do
with progress in school?
When reports of school work come
home to the parents, I wish those par-
ets whose children are doing poor
work at school would ask themselves
a few questions about home condi-
tions. Such questions as the follow-
ing:
How often has the pupil been kept
home needlessly?
Does the pupil regularly go to bed
early enough to waken without an
alarm clock or a call in the morning?
Does the pupil receive a diet that
insures at least two free bowel move-
ments every twenty-four hours? (The
noted Dr. Kellogg, of Battle Creek,
insists the bowels should move at
least three times a day for health).
Does the pupil receive a diet that
really supplies the elements needed
for the growth and energy of a grewing child?
Does the pupil spend tin average of
at least an hour a day in the open air
and sunshine?
Of eousa in your home you eat
good nourishing food. I never met a
person yet who did not believe in
good nourishing food. But ideas re-
garding what is good nourishing food
vary So greatly that they cannot all
be right, and unless you in your home

amounted to the tremendous total of
$20,000,000. And he gave the method,
of txeatment in each case, and showed
how a very little time spent by indi-
vidual farmers and breeders, would
overcome the loss of millions of dol-
lars each year.
This is the first time Dr. Stevenson
has addressed an audience in this
county and although the council
chamber was filled to eapacity by an
audience that listened with the keen-
est interest, his address was good
enough and instructive enough to have
filled the largest town hall.

HENSALL SEED FAIR
The annual Seed Fair of the South
Huron Agricultural Society was held
in the Town Hall, Hensall, on Tues-
day of this week. Although roads
and wet weather were not all they
might have been, there was a gobii,
exhibit of seed grain, the entries in
most classes and the Amount of prize
money paid out being larger than in
any previous year.
Mr. L. D. Hankinson, of Toronto,
acted as Government Seed Judge, and
gave excellent satisfaction. Mr.
blankinson also gave a short address
after the judging, giving the reasons
for his decisions and commending the
high quality of the grain in the dif-
ferent classes.
An added feature to the Fair this
year and one that proved a most in-
teresting and instruttive one, was the
address given by DT. Lorne Steven -

McKILLOP
The Late Gordon Carswell. — The
Toronto Star makes the following
reference to the sad and sudden death
of Gordon Carswell, son of Rev. D.
Carswell, a former beloved pastor of
Duff's and Cavan. Church, Winthrop:
"The funeral service for the late Gor-
don I'. Carswell, base soloist of Col-
lege Street United Church choir and
a enember of one of the most eseem-
ed families of the congregation of that
church, took place last evening at his
home, 68 Hillsdale Ave. W., being
ponducted by the minister of College
Street Church, Rev. Dr. R. J. Wilson.
Interment takes place to -day at,A-yr,
Ont. The death of the late Mr. Cars-
well, which occurred with extreme
suddenness on Friday evening, proved
a shock not only to his fellow workers
in the waterworks department of the
city hall, where he was employed as
an accountant, but 'perhaps even more
particularlY to all these who worship
and work at College Street United
Church, where he was so well known
and where his father, Rev. David
Carswell, is an elder and acting clerk
of the session. "He would indeed be
a stranger to this congregation whose
heart was without sadness te-day,"
stated Rev. Dr. R. J. Wilson at the
service of College Street Church yes-
terday in paying tribute from the puI-
et to the late Mr. Carswell. Dr.
Wilson referred to the young man's
complete willingness to serve others,
to his sunny disposition, to his out-
standing good character. These ex-
pressions echoed the sentiments of
the late Mr. Carswell's host of friends
throughout the various organizations
of the church. In connection with his,
choir work, Dr. Wilson made mention
of the fact that, strangely enough,'
only a week ago Mr. Carswell had
sung at the morning service the solo,
"Thy Will Be Done." He had sung
it so beautifully that Rev. Dr. Mc-
Lachlanwho occupied the pulpit with
Dr. Wilson last Sunday morning, was
moved to make it the theme of the
morning prayer. The funeral service
last evening was attended by a great
many friends and relatives of the late
Mr. Carswell, With representatives
present from the city hall and al/
branches of College Street Church.
Many beautiful floral tributes were
received, including those from the
church organizations, from the city
hall and from Duff's and Cavan Unit-
ed Churches, near Seaforth, where
late Mr. Carswell's father min -
red. Panbearers at last evening's
e'ice were: Harry Foster, Howard
Antle-eon, Lorne Williamsoh, Mait-
land Torrance, W. J. Moon, Cameron
Patterson, H. Dowds ad Gordon
Kerr. In addition to his father, the
late MT. Carswell is survived by two,
sisters, Miss Helen Carswell, a teach-
er at the Adam Beck Collegiate in
London, Ont., and Miss Jean Carswell,
a member of the teaching staff of the
Maurice Cody School in Toronto."
