John and Leslie the other day as of

CANADA'S PLACE IN THE
BRITISH COMMONWEALTH

Premier Mackenzie King said
recently, during a debate on for
eign relations in the Canadian par
| lament:
"As l see it, looking to the future
Of Canada, and having regard to
| the kinds OF discussion that have
taken place, there are at least
three possible avenues of consti-
tutional development: one leading
to complete independence, another
leading to annexation with the
United States, another leading to
more clearly recognized nation
hood within the community of ma
tions comprising the British En-
pire or the British Commonwealth
by whatever term you may wish to
call it."
He went on to express the opin-
ion that the future of Canada
would be happiest and best, most
prosperous and in every way most
to the good, If the development Is
along the line on which it has been
thus far-toward a fuller recogni-
tion of national status within the
community of free nations which
comprise the British Empire"
Sir Robert Borden, a former
Conservative premier, did much to
advance this new status for Can
ada during the war, and at the
reace conference at Versailles
Canadian representatives signed
the peace treaty and the Canadian
parliament subsequently ratified it.
At the Lausanne conference, be-
tween representatives Of Great Bri-
tain, France, Italy, and Turkey,
with some other powers participat-
ing, the only British representa-
tives were Lord Curzon, secretary
Of state for foreign affairs, and Sir
Horace Rumbold. British high COM
missioner at Constantinople. Can
ada received no invitation to send
a representative.
AS Canada had no part in the
proceedings of the conference, the
Dominion government took the po-
sition that, in this instance, the
parliament of Canada should not
be asked to ratify the treaty.
IL Is lully COuCCuCu w IHS Do
minion prime minister that, ac-
cording to international law. Canada
is bound by Great Britain's ratifi-
cation of the Lausanne treaty; but
Canada's exclusion from the con-
ference leaves the Dominion parlia-
ment free to decide, from the inter-
imperial point of view. how far
Canada shall be bound by any obli-
cation that may arise out iof the
treaty itself.
Because of the Canadian pre-
mier's reference to other possibili-
ties than the development of ma
tionhood within the commonwealth
cf British nations, some people
abroad seem to have Onisunder-
stood the Canadian governments
position on the Lausanne treaty.
Rut it can safely be said that the
desire of Premier Mackenzie King
is to strengthen, rather than loos-
en-. the good relations between Can
ada and Great Britain and the
other nations under the British
flag.-Christian Science Monitor.

FABLES ON HEALTH--
BREATHE REGULARLY

Having become interested in
breathing exercises, Mr.. Jones began
to inquire more deeply into the ef
feet obtained from deep, rhythmic
breathing.
And, among. other things. he
found this out:
When an ordinary breath is taken
something like 10 per cent of the
lung content is changed with each
breath. When deep breath is TAX
en- the entire lung is forced into
action and an immediate stimulant
is given the liver and abdominal
circulation of the blood.
This, in turn, has the helpful re-
suit of setting into action any stag
nant blood in those two regions,
causing it to be oxygenated. Blood
The Bismarck tribune., 1924-07-09

pressure is favorably influenced and
persons of high emotional tendencies
can be benefited by systematic
course in deep and rhythmic breath
ing.
Breathing should be deep and
slow, carried on rhythmically. Some
oriental races have worked out an
interesting method to insure even
ness of breath.
They press a finger to the side of
the nose, closing one nostril and
breathing through the other; then
reversing to. the other nostril.
While doing this it may be noted
that the sound of breathing becomes
audible and attention to this sound
of air makes it possible to note
whether the breathing is irregular.
