unemployment and hard, bitter sacrifices for hundreds of thousands of our people, we have had the spectacle month after month and year after year of petty and sometimes vulgar con- troversies between paliticians, with the Domin- ion and our two greatest provinces almost steadily at cross purposes.

“Canada, surely, is entitled to something bet- ter. And should demand something better. It is not nccessary—it is indeed impossible-to try to penetrate all the causes of this friction, or to fix the blame. It is enough to know that the [)I'(5.s€l'll£ Dominion Government has shown itself incapable of getting on with the provinces, of securing harmony, or decent cooperation. In what should be one of the supreme tasks of statesmanship in this country - the task of na- tional unity—it has failed constantly and dis- mally; has produced a mosaic of confused, bitter and Balkanized politics such as Canada has not experienced in a generation.

“If a Dominion election comes, as now seems likely, this should be a commanding issue. Can- ada simply cannot afford a. Dominion Govem- mcnt which. whether through wrong-hcadcd- nr,-5; or weakness, cannot secure co-operation from the provinces.”

A Gaelic College

Wednesday in our sister province of Nova Scotia they celebrated an event quite as unique, "I "5 W3)’. 35 the Confederation Conference at Charlottetown. It was the opening at St. Ann's, 3 lllllfi village in the Cape Breton highlands, of the first Gaelic College in North America. Be- hind the College is the Gaelic Foundation of Cape Breton Island, which aims at preserving and perpetuating the Highland language and customs.

The ceremony of cl:-rlication was carried out in conjunction with the first annual Mod, a Caelic term meaning “moot" or meeting, which is an annurul festival in Scotland.

Mr. Howe makes the surprising misstatement, which is repeated editorially by our local con- temporary, that in opposing railway unification Dr. Manion did not represent the mayonty of Conservatives in Parliament. Mr. }Iowes_statc- ment is nonesense on the basis of the figures which he himself quoted. He Said‘ that 25 ‘Con- servatives in the Senate favored railway unifica- tion, while thirteen opposed it. Seeing lllal D'- Manion’s Conservative followers in_the ‘House of Commons are a unit against unification — making over 40 Conservatives in the two Houses against it—hy what process of ‘reasoning does Mr. Howe conclude that “a ma1orit_y'of_ Lon- servatives in Prliament” are for unification?

There are Conservativcshjust as there are Liberals, who l)elieve in unification, but the Cott- servative party, OVCl'Wl‘lCll'l’lll1gly,.lS against uni- fication. It said so by s_ plank in the pl$}l0l’m of the National Convention. It has said so again and again through the mouth of_ the leader it elected to speak for it—Dr. Mamon. . '

King Government Responsible

The Winnipeg Free Press (Liberal), exami_n- ing the controversy between Premier Duplessis' Government and Prime Minister King's bov- ernmcnt over relief and unemployment, con- cludes that Mr. Duplessis is wrong, Mr, King right.

- Whereupon the Ottawa ‘Journal comments:

"Admitting, for the sal¢e_of‘ argument, that the Free Press is an unprciudiced arialyst. that its conclusion is right, isn't there a bigger flung that it overlooks?

I I 3 C Liberals say their Prime Minister has a dif- ficult tlccisirm to make regarding the election date and he needs time. The difficulty is not in deciding for or against a general election this year but in deciding when he should announce his decision in favor of a contest this year. There is little doubt he would like to save this news for the party dinner to him in Toronto on August 8; but most of his party are now anxious to get going in the fight and business people are demanding that the uncertainty and result- ing tension be ended at the earliest possible mo- ment. The lessening of war threats should make it easier for Premier Kinrr to reach an early de- cision and to make an early announcement. V‘ ‘U 3 I Queens County Liberals are becoming more and more restless regarding their future repres- entation, and general “management". It is said one reason for the application for delay in elec- tion appeal Bell vs. LcPage, is to wait the ap- pointment of a new or retention of the present Lieutenant-Governor. Many Liberals have let it be known at Ottawa that they are quite satis- fied with the prcscnt occupants of Government House, and would deprccate a change. There has been no reconstruction of the Campbell Gov- ernment pending the decision of the election ap- peal, and the likelihood is that one or more of the legislators may be successful aspirants for nom- ination as candidates in place of Mr. Dunning or Mr. Douglas, or both. n at at s The rapid expansion of e "twentieth-century" industry—-that of canning-—is traced in the Monthly Review of The Bank of Nova Scoua for July. Indicative of the growth is the four- teen-fold increase between 1900 and 1937 in the value of output of the fruit and vegetable mn- ning and preserving industry in the United Statcs—from $56 millions to $790 millions. The smaller Canadian industry experienced an equally striking gain—from $4 millions to $50 millions. Indeed, the volume'of canned fruit and vegetable production in both countries has considerably more than doubled in the post-War period alone, which has also seen rapid develop- ment in other countries, notably Hawaii, Aus- tralia and Smith Africa. It is thus evident that modern housewives welcome the emancipation from long hours of cooking, the availability of fairly cheep fruits and vegetables at all sea- son: of the year and the more varied diet which canned goods provide. is -v it Both the Germans and Japanese are evident- ly profiting by following the outstsndln dic- tum in Hitler's Mein Kampf which re: : - “A wise victor will. if possible, always impose his claim on the defeated people stage by stage.

Eric Cross, one of Mr Hep- bum's ministers, sings the on- tario Premier's song about poor llttle Ontario paying half the taxes of the big Dominion and says in almost: as many words that the West would be dead as a door nail if it were not for the East. We wish these Ontario poli- ttctans were a hit broader-mmd- ed. They never think of Canada as a nation comprising nine provinces, rather they leave the impression it is made up of one province and. ‘*1 course. it is On- tario. We'll admit to satisfy Mr. Gross that Ontario pays half the texts but we refuse to go fur- ther and say that the taxes all come out of the wealth created in Ontario. For the sake of amu- inent. let. us lop off the West; from Canada and stick it on to the Unit- ed Blake. What. about Ontario's wealth then? would its indus- tries be as large if it. were with- out a western market? Big business may make its head- quarters in Toronto and pay its taxes at the Toronto income tax office, but the taxable income of many of them was created to a. large extent. by the purchases that came from the western customers. —I.et.hbrldge Herald.
