one Lobster Season

tine cit.-.-ed season during .luly-Septcnr her is advocated by Dr. D. G. Wilder in place of the 14 regional closed seasons now tlf)pilt'aI)iO to the Maritimes. Quebec and N'tw”tI!ti l" In a booklet published by the l”. lit-p;xi'tiiiciit, tlic iiciid of the lml-r.:lv:tl statioii at St. Andrew's, N. 13., points out that altliougli the varied seasons were originally designed as a conservation inc;isui'c, for soiiie time they have been re-

A prolinhlo. result is that fewer fisher- lttrti would continue to operate but operate during a greater part of the year. That might be all to the good in the long mm but the immediate effect would be to require the others to find alternative occupations.

Arms Race or Human Race

”We are not on the road to peace but to a war of a character such as this world has nevcr seen yet." That is the summing up of the sitiiation by 1-Jlniore .lI.P., Liliciul nicmber for Vancouver South, speal-:ing to the World Government Confer- ence in London.

The solution, and the only solution, seen by the Canadian dcicgate is that nations

should voluntarily surrender to a world govcriirnciit their right to make war on their iiciziilmiirs. As he put it, a choice

must be made ”ht-tween the arms race and the human race."

He is not, of course, the only one to see the inevitability of world government. lllaiiy scrioiis ohsnrvcrs have come to the conclusioii that without it war is bound to break out. sooner or later and the victor in the global struggle would in fact rule the wnrld. or what Churchill forsaw as a "heap of ruins."

Tliiis we would have world government in any ca-'4-, but what men of good will should strive for is world government by agreement. In that way nations can retain practically all their individual sovereignty but must yield the right and power' to wage war. -

The propo.::il, of course, runs counter to the aspiratioiis of many peoples over the past cciilury but it is quite 8 different thing to have an ovorlord voluntarily set up than to he forced to submit to the strongest in claim! conflict,

Alberta's Example

Provinces with older traditions might well note the example sct by Alberta in preserving its pioneer past. in museums throughout the Province, new generations are being given a proper seiisc of the social, cultural and pliysiciil forces which have shapcd life in the West. And Alberta's finest histoi'ic:il miisciini is also its newest. The Norman Luxton Museum at Banff, al- though still far from completed, contains one of the finest collections of Indian clothing, iv:-iipoiis, equipment and artifacts

organizntioii 'and maintenance have been financed through a small group of Alberta citizens who recognize their rcsponsibility to future generations. An extension to the museum. now under construction, will have life-sized replicas of Indian life, including a complete Indian village and an art gallery displaying a cross-section of the best paint- ings of early life on the western plains. Another private museum is opri'at(?d 140 miles nortlvcast. of Edmonton. featuring Indian relics and other objects of pioneer interest. At Medicine Han a local historical socicty has set up a replica of a pioneer homestead. At St. Albert, the cathedral built tn 1861 by Father Lacombe has been preserved as a museum by the town, while at Edmonton the first Protestant church, built there in 1871, is also preserved for the game pqgpjo. A replica of the homes

Philpott,.

at Elk Island Park, 30 miles east of Ed-I monton. The thatched roof buildings.' furnished with hand-made articles and lm-2 plements brought from Russia. is the firsti of a series of exhibits planned for the Park.i

Two small museums attract visitors dur-i

ing the periods of Alberta's largest an-it

nual celebrations, the Calgary Stampede' and the Edmonton Exhibition. The orig-, inal building of The Edmonton Bulletin,' built by Frank Oliver in 1880, houses the: Edmonton Exhibition museum, operated by! the Northern Alberta Pioneers and Old- timers Association. In the grounds of Vic-I toria Park during Stampede Week, modern. Mounties man a small police post modellcdi after those established by the early North-i West Mounted Police in the early West. Atl Banff the Government of Canada main-N, tains a museum containing much of edu-p cational value. St. Georges lslaiid Natural! History Park also deserves mention for its largest collection of life-sized models of pre-II historic animals in America. Besides the models there is a fossil house whose terior bears a sculptured relief representa-! tion of life in Alberta 50,000 years ago. while inside are fossilized remains of five. geological eras. i

In the Arts Building on the University of Alberta campus at Edmonton are the teaching museums, particularly valuable in paleontological and mineralogical speciniciisn Also on the university campus is the Ruth-p erford Library, whose third floor is taken, up by a collection of Indian and Eskimo artifacts.

This brief enumeration should indicate the great importance attacked by Albertans to their past. Here in this section of Can- ada. with a pioneer history stretching much farther back, we seem to be oblivious to its value and interest. We have, it is true. revived our oldtima Prince Edward Island Historical Society; but without adequate museum accommodation there is little that any organization can do to preserve P9?- mancntly what is left of our pioneer relics.

OTTAWA REPORT

A lot will be heard this month about our textile industry, its difficulties. its unemployment and its demand for protection by A higher tariff against competition from Imported British wool tex- tiles.

The Tariff Board has been in- structed by the Minister of Ft- nance to examine the circum- stances of Tariff Item 554b, which covers chiefly worsted: and serges. It. will open public hearings in Ottawa at the end of this month. Briefs are already pouring in in bewildering profusion from may- ors, municipalities. labour unions

SPEAKING OF VEGETABLES

"Among the vegetables exhibited at the Charlottetown Fair last week. was I cabbage of the drum head kind. wrighing twenty pounds. i'.llsPd by Mr. George Weldon, of this town. Several large squash:-s and pumpkins were also exhibited. Among the former were two, rais- ed by Mr. Thomas Pethick. which weighed respectively 115 and 100 lbs. and measured, the one six feet, thwre inches, and the other five feet, ten inches, in circumfer- once.

"A cucumber was this season raised in the garden of Mr. Elisha Hooper. Bedeque, from seed pro- curcd from the Hon. Mr. Livett. sown in a cold bed in the first week nf June. nf the following dimeiiszons: length 23”; inches. cii-ciimlereiice 11!; inches. weight 5”. lbs. There were some on the same vine nearly as long. others not so large-but they were all perfectly straight. We saw also 3 pumpkin from Mr. Waddell's gar-

den, which weighed '70 lbs, and two of 50 lbs. each, from Mr. Hutchinson's."

Ask Privilege (Windsor Star)

To individuals burdened by hea- vy income tax the idea of living in II tax-free state may appear idyl- lic. People would have so much more money to spend on their own. But. usually it. is the reverse of paradise.

Up in Greenland the people through their local council, have petitioned for the right. to pay in- come tax. They want to be treated in this manner. inst. the same as other Danish siilijccts. Non-pny- ment of taxes puts them in an in- ferior position.

There is more to it, than just pride or self respect. Greenlan- ders figure if they pay income tax- es they will be able to get. more money to improve local conditions -as it right. and not just as I handout.

This. of course, is the essence of taxes. In all areas. unless most unusual circunistances prevail, low taxes are the concomitant. of poor services and low standards of liv- liig. Instead of living in luxury, people have to put up with primi- tlve conditions. Countries witr. the highest standards of living, generally, nI!Io are those with the heaviest taxes.

It Ls erroneous to think of taxes as money mated-iiiiless there is waste in the expenditures of tax money. The rcvenues go toward the improvement of the people In democracies the people them- selves, throiiiih tint-tr elected repre- sensativss, decide how they should be spent.

Money for defriice, of war pur- pose; is In in different. category. of course. It. helps protect prevailing standards and way of life, but Ls non-productive. Otherwise taxes. wisely used and spent, contribute to the betterment. of all the peo-

le of a nation. V

This is no argument for excu- alva taxation. Excuses in un-

smd trade associations interested in the. wool textile industry, all advocating an increase in the cus- toms duty payable upon imported British wool cloths. One brief has also been submitted by the British association of wool tex- tile exporters, making out a very good case why the tariff should not. be raised.

I have not. yet heard of any briefs being submitted by an as- sociation representing Cimadals wheat farmers, the B. C. salmon industry, the lumber industrial and base metal mines-all of whom appear certain to suffer the chill wind nf reduced exports to Britain, if that country's available supply of Canadian dollars is re- duced by a curtailment of her ex- port. earnings. For this particular category of her traditional exports, worsted: and serges, is her big- gest individual dollar earner in Canada. In the past calendar year, for example. Britain earn- ed 529 million from her sales of worsteds and serges to us, com- pared fo 5'! million from scotch whisky, 311 million from china porcelain dinner scts. and 526 million from new passenger auto-

mobiles valued at under 51,200 each. I O O Nor have I yet seen a brief

submitted by any association rep- resenting the consumers, who are very much interested in this plot to hoist the cost. of his or her suit made of British wool tex- tiles, andfor to persuade him or her to buy suits made instead of Canadian textiles.

The most detailed brief which 1 have read is a lengthy and ex- pensive production of the Cana- dian Wool Cloth Industry. This give: every fact and figure any student of the textile industry could require, and is most con- vincing. In fact it so surely convinced me that the Industry has not. got a substantial case that It might. be sub-titled "A storm in A tca-rup."

It recommends the removal of the present maximum of 50 cent: per pound on the tnriff on Brit- lsh wool cloths. The actual tar- iff rate is 20'.”li on the value plus 12 cents per pound, subject to the usual discount of one-tenth if the shipment is directly from one com- monwealth port to another. At present prices. which have risen appreciably since this tariff wnl set: under the Geneva Agreement in 1948. the 50 cent maximum overrides the actual tariff rate. Following the suggestion of this association, elimination of the 50 cent. maximum would, according to

The Tariff On Textiles

on the material contained in an average man's suit by 61 U2 cents. It seems unlikely that this would have any decisive effect on the market.

0 O O This brief also make: clear that Canadian textiles have done

better than British textllel in thc Canadian market recently, better by far than they did before the war. Average unnull Isle: of Canadian-made wool cloth during the past five years; has been 519:; higher than In the five pre-war years. British sale: here in the same period: show an increase of only 1296. On these facts. it is hard to substantiate the claim that Britain II cutting Ierlously into our market.

Notable however in the com- plete omission. in all the Cana- dian textile briefs. of any man- tion of plastics and other syn- thettc fabrics. It in the growth of the use of these which no doubt has adversely affected sales of Canadian wool textiles in recent years. All the range, from light- weight summer cutting: to auto- mobile upholstery, in feeling the hard bite of competition of man- made fibres.

One brief says that 2,900 work- ers in the Canadian wool cloth industry have lost their jobs over the past four years. Now this Is a very serious matter. for those workers and for their families and municipalities. But it is not a na- tional crisis of an extent which would justify Canada reversing her firm stand against higher t.arlffs.a stand which she has recently repeated loudly to Wash- ington when a United State: in- dustry made the same request as our textile industry is now mak- ing. This Is a crisis which might well be handled by government rehabilitation of the H ' :1

workers; their plant could be con- verted and they themselves could be trained for the convened work: this would be more realistic than touching off a round of hoists.
