SATURDAY, M.ui., 1, 1953 tireek Bearing Gifts

Maritimers usually have a hopeful wel- come for proposals to develop industry in this part of the country but the latest pro- posal is apt to meet with a distinctly cold reception. John Blackmore (SC-Lefh- bridge) told the Commons that the Mari- times had been bled white since Confed- eration and something should be done for the Atlantic Provinces.

The particular something he has in mind is the creation of an economic zone” in the Maritiincs, establishment of in- dustries here-including a sugar-beet in- dustry-and an agreement with Central Canadian manufacturers not to send their competing products into this market.

What is proposed, in fact, is that Can- ada should protect Alberta's sugar beet in- dustry at whatever cost to our export mar- ket for fish and potatoes and that the Maritimes can have the privilege of grow- ing and refining the sugar they cat.

That kind of "economic zone" has all the earmarks of Robinson Crusoe's desert island. We would give up any chance of exporting the products which we can pro- duce economically and try to produce everything which we consume. It would, indeed result in self-sufficiency but at a level little if at all above mere subsistance.

R. 0. M. P. Report

This Province may well be pleased with its police situation as revealed in the an- nual report of the R. C. M. P. tabled in the House by the Attorney-General. With a total staff on the Island of 44, including four non-members, the Division has kept up training: enforced Federal statutes relating to citizenship, customs and excise, fisher- ies, income tax, Indians and migratory birds in this Province and the Magdalene Islands; protected certain Federal proper- ties; and. under the direction of the At- torney-General, enforced the Criminal Code and Provincial Statutes.

The number of cases investigated under Provincial statues was 2252, leading to 1185 convictions. In addition assistance was ren- dered to other police forces in 75 cases and to the general public in 309 cases.

The blackest picture is that of 22 high-I

way deaths outside of Charlottetown and Summcrside, four more than the previous record. It is a'satisfaction, however, that out of 522 accidents reported there were 308 prosecutions resulting .in 482 convic- tions. No less than 150 drivers" licenses were cancelled by the Prouincial Secretary's Department during the year, about three times the number in previous years.

iThe number of Temperance Act com- plaints which turned out to be unfounded. 836, compared with 655 convictions out of a total 1609 investigations, is far out of line with experience in other types of in- vestigation. Islanders, presumably. are prone to complain about the drinking habits of their neighbours when no offence is being committed.

Far”mNii:i'-ezilitnfacllltles

There appears to be some disagreement

C in the Legislature as to the nature of ex-

isting farm credit facilities. Reference to this subject. appears in the current issue of The Economic Annalist. a publication of the Federal Department of Agriculture, from which the following information is taken:

The Canadian. Farm Loan Act was pas- sed by the Federal Government to estab- lish a system of long term mortgage credit for farmers. First mortgage loans may be made up to 60 per cent of the value of the farm land and buildings but the maxi- mum loan is 3210.000. When a second mortgage-loan is made under the Act. the aggregate of the loans may not exceed 512,000 to any one borrower.

A,system of intermediate and short term credlt.for the improvement and de- velopment of farms was established by the

Federal Government under the Farm Im-

provement Loans Act. The Act provides that the Minister of Finance will pay to any bulk the amount of loss sustained by

'it njiv tfeault of at farm improvement loan, if 1 'ilid"not exceed 53,000. The Na-

! i' Act empowers the Central L ' , - Corporation to enter gpprovad lending institu- T "tit.-joint loans,'up to assist in the con-

The Farmer's Creditors Arrangement Act facilitates compromises and arrange- ments between insolvent farmers and their creditors and simplifies the operation of the 'Bankruptcy Act with respect to farmers generally. In the field of crop insurance, the Federal Government, under the Prairie Farm Assistance Act makes cash payments to farmers in years of crop failure in the three Prairie Provinces and in the Peace River District of British Columbia. Wheat, oats, barley and rye are the crops eligible for crop failure payments.

Among the provinces, Quebec, Ontario, Nfanitoba and Saskatchewan have legisla- tion pmviding for loans to farmers for the improvement and development of their farms. In addition, Ontario has an Act which provides for the incorporation of farm loan associations whose object is to promote Qidividual prosperity and agricul- tural development by making short term loans to their members for current ex- penditures. All provinces except British Columbia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland have legislation to assist municipalities in furnishing relief to necessitous farmers in the form of ad- vances of seed grain, fodder, feed grain, etc. Saskatchewan and Alberta have legis- lation concerning arrangement for the can- cellation of municipal debts to the Pro- vincial Government for notes guaranteed for advances of seed grain and relief. The priority of liens on farm property which have been secured for loans of various sorts is established by provincial legisla- tion. C

ll Thousand Refugees Dally

An unanswerable indictment of the new order which the Russians are seeking to create in Europe is the steady flow of ref- ugees from the Soviet zone of Germany into West Berlin, and so into Western Germany. A year ago this migration was little more than a trickle, some 100' to 150 a day. Today the refugees are coming across at the rate of over 1,000 a day; on the peak day recently there were 2,000. For the unfortunate people themselves. this is a tragedy. For the West German Government, with ten million refugees from the East already on its hands, it is a major problem. But it is also a significant por- tent. Conditions in the Soviet zone under a Communist Government are such that hundreds of thousands of Germans are giv- ing up their homes, their jobs, everything they possess, in order to escape. As point- ,ed out in a United Kingdom Information Office release, this fact is more eloquent than any propaganda. And there is no stream of refugees from the West into the Soviet zone. e i There can be no doubt that the exodus would be greater still if the difficulties and risks were not so great. All preparations have to be made in secret, and it is only in Berlin itself that the border can be crossed without risking death.

NEW BEDEQUE ROAD

"Writs having been issued out. of the Supreme Ooun. commanding the Sheriff to summon a jury for the purpose of falbhfu-lJ.y apprais- ing the damages or advantages, as the case might. be. which would accrue the proprietors of Townships Nos. 22, 31 and 65, in consequence of the new line of road to Bedeque which is intended to be run through those Lois, a jury was sworn in on Thursday for that purpose. The jury as- sembled soon after breakfast, at Mr. Moorsidel. Near Popular Is- land Bridge, where they were sworn in. They then proceeded to view the ground. accompanied by a land surveyor, the deputy sheriff. and one of. the Road Com- missioners.

"Their route lay tiirouglh un- broken woods for nearly seven miles. which with the aid of guides and compasses they contrived to traverse with some difficulty, some- times on horseback. and more frequently leading their horses. and arrived at Johnson's on the Priiicetown Road lzi'fe in the even- ing. After partaitiiig of some re- freslimenl, iliey returned to Moor.side's, where they were ad- dressed by the Solicitor General on the part of the Crown, and by Mr. Fm-gan and Mr. Lewellin, the former on behalf of the Earl of Selkirk. the proprietor of Lot 31. and the latter as representative of Mr. Sullivan, the proprietor of Lot

22.

"At half-past three mm, on Fri- day, they gave a. verdict of L200 against. Lot 31; E50 against Lot 22: and-1:20 against Lot. 65, in con- sideration of the advantages which the proprietors of these Townships would respectively derive from the road in question. Against. this verdict it is the intention of the parties interested to appeal to the Supreme Court . . .

”If. may be said that hibherlo the proprietors of townships have contributed nothing towards the formation of roads, notwithstand- ing the benefits which, in n pecuniary point of view. they have derived from them, and tlmt therefore they should now be made to pay well for having escaped so long This argument might do

Such, we understand. are the grounds on which the parties rest their case. and some of the arguments which will be urged in support of their appeal."

Legal Name

(The author of the following letter to the Ottawa Journal is Mr. Arthur Beauchosne, for many years clerk of the House of Com- mons, the outstanding authority in this country on Parliamentary pro- cedure, and a recognized authority on Canada's constitution.)

The question of calling our country "Canada" instead of ”Do- mininn of Canada” was settled 86 years ago. The preamble of the DNA Act says that the four orig- lilfll provinces have expressed their desire to he federally united into one Dominion under the Crown; and the designation of this new constitutional entity is dealt with in sections 3 and 4.

Section 3 reads: "It shall be low- ful for the Queen to declare by proclamation that on and alter a day therein appointed the provin- ces shall form and be one Domin- ion under the name of Canada; and on and after that day those provinces shall form and be one Dominion under thutname accord- ingly."

O O O

.This OXll)iiCil. provision is empli'a- sized by secl.ion4 which says: "Un- less it is otherwise expressed or implied. the name Canada shall be taken to moan C:ir.ada as consti- tuted under this act."

Wherever reference is made to the O-titawa Government or PM. linment. tlirougliouf the Wl!nl'.' BNA

r. the designation of "Canada" only is used Without any mention of "Dominion." Here are two strik- ing examples:

Szotion 17: "There shall he one Parliament for Canada. consisting of the Queen, one Upper House styled the Senate, and the House of Commons.”

Section 132: "The Parliament and Government of Canada shall have all the powers necessary or proper for performing the obliga- tions of Canada or of any province thereof as part of the British Em- pire, towards foreign countries arising under treaties between the in hire and such foreign coun- tries".

O C 0 Is not this it notice in the world that. our country's name is tCnnada"? Canadians who, for sentimental or other reasons, are

loath to giving up our status as it

"Canada';

Dominion need not be afraid that the omission of that word in our name under the provisions of the DNA Act makes any material al- teration in our oonstitiutlon.

It is only after all ii. question of name. If we refer to Great. Brit- ain without calling her the United Kingdom, or to the United states or France without calling them re- publics. we do not in the least thereby prevent those great coun- tries from being what they really are.

0 O 0

The statute of Westminster uses the word "Dominion" as ,3 general term in order to include other British countries which have never been given the name of Dominion, such as the Common- wealth of Australia, the Union of South Africa, the Irish Free State. Section '1 of that statute which deals with our country in particu- lar describes it. as "Canada" with- out using the word "Dominion". it provides for the application of the statute to "Cmi,ada”, it mentions the ”provlncos of Canada" and the "Parliament of Canada."

This legal designation is con- firmed by the Act respecting the Royal style and Titles which reads as follows:

"The Asent of the Parliament of Canada is hereby given to the issue by Her Majesty of Her Royal Proclamation under the Great Seal of Canada establishing for Canada the following Royal Style and Titles, namely. Elizabeth the second, by the Grace of God. of the United Kingdom. Canada find Her other Realms and Terri- tories, Head of the Comnionwealtli, Defender of the Faith".

. . .

our designation in this new law is in conformity with the DNA Act. which merged the Canadian colonies into a Dominion under the name of "Canada". It is obvi- ous that the legislators who passed the DNA Act did not. want the word "Dominion" to form art of its name "unless ii: is of. crwlxe expressed or implied". Under this quoted phrase our country may be called the "Canadian Federation", the "Union of Canada", or the "Dominion of Canada" which can be and has been accepted in the past, but the legal name of our Dc-mlnlon is "Canada".
