Important Farm Meetings

Cliarlotteitiiin is houiitiretl indeed to be chosen as a convention city by the Canadian lfederation of .\g"1'icult11re, which will hold a conference liere next week. Sept. 9 to II, this being the first occasion on ivhieh the Federa- tion will have iiiet in the .\l:iritin1es.

The three-day conference will deal with both national and Rlaritinie agricultural prob-

lems, and \\lll he oi outstanding interest to all our farmers. llur own Prince Edward Is- land lticd-sratiou of Agriculture will of course

be well repre-eiited, and our citizens generally

In addition the zigeiitla calls for 1i general discussion on free freight tinlicv 1111 feed grains, farm prices and fariii costs, fertilizer costs, 11nd many other sub- jects. Mr. \\'. l. Parker, vice-president of the Cillliltllilll l-“etleratiou and president of the Mani- toba Pool lileixuors, will preside and will speak on his recent iriii to London, England, where he attended the international Conference of Agri- cultural Producers last May. Mr. Fred Sproule, vice-president oif the Saskatchewan “heat Pool, will also address the conference. The meetings in the morning will be held in the new Legion llall, and in the evening at The Charlottetown.

From the discussions and proceedings may come far-reaching results for agriculture in Canada. and it is essential that our o\vn farm- ers take full atlvantage of this unique oppor- tunity by attending in large numbers-

For Safe Driving

00$ Canadian Figures

Some very satisfactory figures about

Brit-

' ish exports to Canada have been given The

Times, London, by Mr. D. B. Mundy, the Acting Canadian Trade Commissioner in Liv- erpool. During the first half of this year

'these exports have exceeded by two-thirds the

figure for the same period last year, the value being 11o, 4,202 dollars as compared with 66,412,209 dollars in 1945. Mr. Mundy ex- plained that this increase in Canadian imports was part of a determined drive by his Govern- mdltt to stimulate‘ a two-way trade. Canada's tbpl- imports from Ianuary to June of this gﬂr touched the record flltﬂre °l 879-374-953 “W?! which was higher than when the Do-

er than the amount the Dominion could" pro- duce. That predietion had come true, with the demand situation being partly due to the ex- tension of Canadian credits to ivtir-torri coun- tries. and partly to the expanded and newly- opened Latin-American markets. At the pres- ent time Canada had committed herself to an outlay of two billion dollars on export credits. Of this total I 1-4 million dollars wvnt to the United Kingdom, with an additional 644 1nil- lion dollars earmarked for various other coun- tries in Europe and the Far East. Canada's two-way trade drive is due to the realization. emphasized by Mr. Slundy, that although she emerged from the war as the second largest CXDOYIIIIE nation in the world, she must be prepared to buy from foreign markets if she expects to continue selling Canadian goods abroad.

For over 80 years 11p to 1940 Sllk-\\'(‘€l\‘* iiig looms were made at Coventry. Then came the bombing and the premises of the manufac- turers were destroyed. Fortunately all the skilled workers retained during the ivar period were employed on work for the Services and were not dispersed. Now, with orders for looms from nearly every country in the world, a new factory is being built and by the end of the year will be in full production.

The trouble with Canada today is that there is too much money 011 deposit in the Banks, and too little employed in profitable production.

With the passing of the amendments to the Federal Judiciary Act, a number of sei1- ior judges are, due to retire, hence the prospect of Finance lVlinister llsley going on the bench in his native Nova Scolia.

London's best known and best loved statue, has had two enforced holidays from sup- ervision of the hub of the metropolis. He spent the six years of the recent war in rural seclus- ion, as he spent the whole period of the World War I. On both occasions the Office of \Vorks was dilatory in restoring the statue to its ac- customed- place, and Londoners were elanior- ous for its return. Erected in i893 as a incin- orial to the Earl of Shaftesbury, Iiros 1o the public has long since lost any connection with the Ashley-Cooper family or with the (listin- guished statesman whom it commemorates. The statue has become a Dart of the London scene and ofLondon tradition; as familiar to the world as to Londoners. But to Londoners, in- deed to all Britons, the return of Eros had a significance beyond that of restoring the merely familiar. Eros in his place signifies peace. the conclusion of a victorious war. the beginning of a new era. A line in Anthony and Cleo-
