.-.»l W ENFORCEMENT

Our local contemporary is mak- ing another frantic effort to inject politics into the prohibition ques- tion. Just how far this meets the wishes of the Sons of Temperance,

Jpwhoss attitude it professes to in-

dorse, is a matter for the temper- ance people to decide. So far as

N enforcement of the law is concern-

ed, we quite concur in the opinion

‘ . expressed by Hon. Dr. MacMlllan at

the last session of the Legislature. and repeated at the last meeting of the Sons of Temperance, that en- forcement has reached a. higher standard of efficiency in the rural districts than in Charlottetown and Summcrside. The (lifficulty in thc latter centres, as Hon. Dr. Machiil- lan pointed out. has been accentu- ated by the failure of the Charlotte- town and Summersicle police forces to (so-operate wlzh the R. C. M. P. in enforcing the lawz since the Legislature prorogued, ad- ditional eflorts have bccn made un- der Inspector Fripps. Three extra enforcement officers have been plac- td on duty‘ at Charlottetown, one extra man at Summcrside and ons at Souris. During the month of May, in Charlottetown alone, I23 searches were instituted and a num- ber of convictions were obtained. One suspected place was raided as often as nine times during the month: in other cases five, six and seven searches were made, the of- ficers working on the principle: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." 1n summerside and other centres they have been correspond-

The fact that this improve- ment is continuing is a sore point with certain disgruntled political partisans, who are themselves the last to come forward with informa- tion or assistance.

P.E.I. & NEWFOUNDLAND

In a recent issue of MacLeans ‘Magazine there appeared a leading article written by the late Sir Pat-i rick .\lcGrath giving reasons why’ Newfoundland was, and still ls. jus- tified in refusing to enter Confed- eration. The arguments advanced are refuted by Dr. F. A. Wightman in the cprient issue of The Busy East. One of the arguments cited was the decline of population in Prince Edward Island since enter- ing Confederation, and Dr. Wight- mans reply on this point will be of interest to Island readers. He says:

"Considerable is made of the fact that Newfoundland has shown a gratifying lIiCfCilSi.‘ in population in recent years‘ while Prince Edward Island has suffered a. small decline. As usual. most iilogically. this is used as an argument against Con- federation. There are, however, a few important factors which Sir Patrick conveniently fails to state which tend to reverse the weight of his argument. Had all the facts

ingly active. We cite these facts as evidence that so far as the authori- ties are concerned, every effort ls be- lng made to enforce the law.

A point made at the meeting of the Sons of Temperance, which might well have been more strongly emphasized by our contemporary, is the failure of many who have ad- vocated prohibition to co-opcrate with the law enforcement officers. An instance of the general apathy in this respect occurred at a recent inquest in Charlottetown, when it was brought out in evidence that s. place was visited which was known to be a liquor dive. The wit- ness‘ statement was taken as a mat- ter of course, the Jurymen showing no desire to probe further.

Another instance might be cited from the proceedings of the last ses- sion of the Legislature. A charge. in general terms, was made by one of the Liberal representatives for the Firs‘. District of Prince of illicit li- quor conditions in “parts of the w-estern end of the lslan'd."'"ml3io‘fi'." Dr. hfaciiillan immediately replied that if the hon. member would fur- nish speciflc information to him or to the police. he would see that these conditions were remedied. "I presume," rctorted the Liberal mem- ber, "that you have officers to look after that. It is not my duty to pass myself as an informer." "We have unusual condizion of affairs," replied the Acting Premier, “of an llected representative of the people, who claims that it is no part of his duty to assist in the enforcement of the Prohibition Act. Though he knows of those conditions he is not inclined even to pass that informa- tion to the officers: he does not consider it his duty." l-icre is a plain example of the kind of indif- ference against which the Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Sons of Temperance protests, and which the law authorities have encountered on many occasions.

Appreciation is expressed by the Sons of Temperance of the introduc- tion of temperance education in the schools. This, it may be noted. was brought about by the Stewart Gov- ernment at the request of the Tem- perance Federation, the Government paying the expense of the temper- ance textbooks introduced into ~very school. The Covemmem. wFs warm- ly commended by the Temperance Federation for its action in this

An Italian immigrant boy is chief counsel for the Senate Banking Committee in its inquiry into tne operations of the firm of J. P. Morgan an Co. His iiame is Ferdin- and Pecora. Step by step. Pecora has risen from the ranks until today he is a. national figure in the United States and presumably will attain high political office before his car- eer is ended. I-Iis intimate know- ledge of financial affairs is said to be amazing. Every time we read of an incident of this kind, and there are plenty of them. we think of that narrow school of thought—you find it in both Canada. and the United States-which claims so vigorously that there should be no immigra- tion from Europe- that all the i055 should go to the native-born and that anyone first seeing the light outside isn't a fit and proper per- son to even live in the country. All of which, as the case of Mr. Pecora shows. is the bunkest kind of bunk!

The women of the National Union of Conservative and Unionists As- sociations oi the United Kingdom passed a, resolution “viewing with grave anxiety," the Government's proposals for India. In consequence, Mr. Stanley Baldwin delivered to the women an address in .the course of which he said: "I wonder if you realize what is meant by the Indian i Princes? The territory ruled over by the Indian Princes is between a third and a. half of the whole of the Indian Continent, with a. pop- ulation of between a quarter and a fifth of the whole population of that continent, or nearly double the population of the ‘British Isles. So‘ it is not, an inconsidcrablc C0fltfl-; billion, and you have to remember that many of those states are count- ries of the size of European count- ries. old established, well governed, and in some cases not a whit in- ferior to the Government of our own provinces.

What is the simplest method of acquiring and maintaining a good carriage or posture?

If the boy or girl, man or woman will just stand sideways to s. mir- ror, they will get a correct idea. of their natural posture._ In the maj- ority of cases. the body is slouched downward, abdomen forward, and shoulders drooped.

All that is necessary to attain the correct posture is to stand as tall as jiossible. Immediately the shoulders become straight and go backward,

farm machinery enables larger farms to be better worked by fewer people. Prince Edward Island is probably the most generally pros- perous province in the Dominion. 0n the other hand. Newfoundland, Britain's oldest Colony. has a P0P- ulation less than half of that of Nova Scotia though she has more than double Nova Sootlas area. and less than quarter the population of the city of Montreal. If Newfound- land had the same density of population as Prince Edward Island, she would now have over two mil- lions of people as compared with the 250,000 she now carries. The logical conclusion seems to be that if Newfoundland desires to increase her population to something like what it should be, she should be- come a. provindc of Canada."

C O-OPERA TI ON NEEDED

In June of each year, the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics, in co- operation wlth the Provincial Dc- partments of Agriculture, distrib- utes cardboard schedules to farm- ers for the purpose of collecting statistics of acreagea under crop and the numbers of live stock and poultry on farms. An Innovation of 193i extended this survey to cover the breeding and marketing inten- tions with regard to live stock. In all of the provinces, except Alberta and British Columbia, these sched- ules are distributed to the farmers through the rural school teachers. In Alberta ancl British Columbia. the cards are mailed direct to the farmers.

The acrcages of field crops. in particular, are the real foundation or the Department's scheme of ag- rirailtural production statistics. Only slightly less important is the nec- tssity or having correct kflilwiedge of the numbers of live stock Von farms. The accuracy of its compil- ations in both these classes is

Largely dependent upon the obtain-

opinion. According to Fascist figur- es. 10,034 persons were haled before this tribunal between November, i926, and October, 1932. The state must be supreme.

There is always the possibility that nothing will come of the Lon- don Conference, that the nations will be unable to sink their indiv- idual diffetrences and opinions to a sufilclent extent to permit the dc- sired co-operation. This would be most unfortunate. but it is never- theless a distinct possibility. In this event. naturally, other methods will be sugqtstcd. However. if the larger idea falls of consummation. the British Commonwealth of Nations must of necessity return to a more careful consideration of its own interests. In such an event it would probably be possible to work out a revised trade agreement along much broader lines than now ob- tain.

Commenting on President Roose- velt's invitations to the different nations to meet at Washington the New York Times expresses the bo- llcf that much good has already resulted from these conferences and concludes that the next chapter- which begins in London on Juno l2 should have far-reaching results. since these discussions at Washing- ton tpok place two important State utterances have come out of that city. The first was the President's peace plus. the document that came at just the right moment to check Chancelor Hitler in his address be-

the bust comes forward, and the ab- domen is drawn backward.

There are two good exercises to develop the muscles to hold the body in this tall position. First, trying to touch toes with knees straight which tightens the abdominal musc- lcs and prevents the body from S88- glng; second, throwing extended arms well backward as in the brefliii stroke of swimming.

Further, whether sitting, standing or walking, the body should be held as tall as possible.

Part 1 o! the bill provides for ap- pointment of three trustees to suc- ceed the existing Board of Direc- tors of the Canadian National Rail- ways. These trustees will bc chosen for their business, railway or exec- utive experience. Cne of the trust- ees will be chairman. He will be ap- pointed as such for a term of five years. will give his entire time to the ivork of the railway. will not be permitted to be an officer of any company other than a company which i5 commie‘? in the National Railways. The ter of the remaining trustees will be for five years, the matter to be speci- fied by the Cabinet at the time of their appointments.,All trustees are eligible for re-oppointment. Their salaries, which will be paid by the Canadian National, will be fixed by the Government. and no trustee will be entitled to more than one salary. nor permitted to take a pension of any kind from any rail- way.

These three trustees will have practically complete authority over the policies and general conduct of the Canadian National. They will appoint a chief operating officer, t0 be called the President. and this official will carry on the operation of the road in consultation with them and under their direction. and will report and be responsible to them.

Part 2 provides means of check- ing the competitive and expensive race between the two roads car- ried on’ up to a year ago. To effect this, omcers of each company are directed to meet from time to tim to discuss economies. -, Another part provides for an A - bitral 'I‘ribunal which will have jurisdiction in all of the following matters:

(a) joint use of tenninals:

(b) running rights and joint use o! tracks where there are actual or functional duplications, or where such may be avoided;

(c) control and prohibition in re- spect of the construction of new lines and provision of facilities and additional services where no es- sential need of the public is involv- ed. or where the result would be in the main the division of tramc al- ready adequately provided for;

(d) joint use of facilities where this would promote eobnom or permit the elimination of duplica- tion or mmunerative services or fa- cilities.

(a) Pooling of any part or parts

to the above enumerated matters. The Arbitral Tribunal will not act within its jurisdiction unlem and until asked to do so by one or both of the railways.
