champion of Federalism

One would hzirdly think that it had to be stated but Justice Minister G2-.rson has declared that there is no prospect of Can- ada developing a workable alternative to its federal system, with divisions of juris- diction for its Federal and Provincial Gov ernments.

More important, the Minister went on to say that Canadians must keep their fed- eral system and make it work. To do that, they must understand their system and understand the British North America Act. their constitution.

This is the crux of many of Canad.i'.- problems. We live under an involved and delicately bzilanced constitution. It was evolx cd through centuries of experience and sacrifice by the British and French peoples, by the genius and public spirit of pioneer statesmen and by the pervading influence of Ciillilflihs incomparable geogrgiphy.

The con.s1'itution is. of course, imperfect. it must undergo amendment if it is to serve this nation as it should, and the amending procedure is. at the moment, 21 principal subject of discussion. Before we can improve the constitution, however, it is necessary to understand what it now is. a preliminary to which not enough Cana- dians seem willing to attend.

Canada's Trade Balances

The Dominion Bureau of Statistics re- ports a gain of over Si80 million in Cana- dian exports to the United State; in Sep- tember, 1950; Exports going south of the border in September, 1949, totalled S115.- 400,000, while exports for the same mont this year brought into Canada 5195.900,- 000.

Imports from the United States were also higher, but even after allowing for this fact, Canada's trade balances with that country were 321,400,000 more than for the same month last year. Tot-.1! trade deficit for Canada in her dealings with the United States amount to only 2iS73.500,0()0 in the first nine months of 1950, compared with a deficit of tiE431,000,000 for the same period a year ago.

A significant fact is that improvement in Canada's trade balances with the United States coincides with determined efforts re- sulting in the Federal Governmentls decis- ion to relax and abandon controls and ulti- mately to place the Canadian dollar on the free market.

This country's improved trading position is the direct result of abandonment of be- lief in official circles of the effectiveness of planned economy at international level. An obvious lesson to be drawn from this experience is that the domestic economy will also respond to abandonment of Key- nesian concepts of economics provided the Government. is willing to lessen its grip in the domestic sphere as well.

Shaw on Politicians

One does not need to be wholly in agree- ment with the late George Bernard Shaw to appreciate the style and pungency of his criticisms. A case in point is the follow- ing excerpt from one of his many broad- sides against politicians:

"The politician who once had to flatter kings has now to learn how to fascinate, amuse, coax, humbug, frighten or other- wise strike the fancy of the electorate; and though in advanced modern states. where the artisan is better educated than the king, it takes a much bigger man to be a suc- cessful demagogue than to be a successful courtier, yet he who holds popular convic- tions with prodigious energy is the man for the mob, whilst the frailer sceptic who is cautiously feeling his way towards the next century has no chance unless he happens by accident to have the specific artistic talent of the mountebank as well, in which case it is as a mountebank that he catches votes. and not as a meliorist.

"Consequently the demagogue, though he professes (and fails) to readjust matters in the interests of the majority of the ele: tors, yet stereotypes mediocrity, organizes intolerance, disparages exhibitions of. un- common qualities, and glorifies conspicuous exhibitions of common ones. He manages a small job well; he muddles rhetoricaily through a large one. When a great politi- cal movement takes place, it is not con- sciously led nor organized; the unconscious

' calf lnmnnkind breaks it: waytnrough the

II an elephant break: through a ;, ,gnd.the politicians mice speeches in ' the process,

which, with the best intentions, they do all in their power to prevent.

"Finally, when social aggregation arrives at a point demanding international org;in- ization before the demagogues and etc: torates have learnt how to manage even a country parish properly mucii less inter- nationaiize Constantinople, the w-isle politi- cal business goes to smash; and presently we have Ruins of Empires, New Zeal-anti ers sitting on a broken arch of Londor. Bridge, and so forth."

Felix lilendelssohn-Barthody. German composer, died this date 1847. Before he was twelve he played in public and at sever.- teen composed "The Midsummer Night's Dream" overture. I-Iis genius is best ex- hibited in his symphonies and two ora- tories, "St. Paul", and ”Elijah.”

The United States has long combined high tariffs with an invisible tariff of cus- toms red tape to provide protection in file home market. Washington has most en- couragingly announced the proposed end of the latter system but it will certainly take some time to change a system which has been built up for years with one objective in mind.

Turkey, it seems is not neaily so pro- gressive as she would like to appear. The fact that a tobacco factory girl could en- close a marriage offer in a cigarette pac- ket in the well founded confidence that the buyer would be a man indicates that the position of women in that ancient land is not altogether on a par with that attained in Western countries.

A Philadelphia report says eating mud- pies is normal for children. If your child eats mudpies, don't worry too much about it. the Medical Society of Pennsylvania says in its publication. "Your Health", for dirt is common among children, and the practice is usually short-lived and harm- less. This is just a return to the advice old-time doctors gave distracted parents, "everyone must eat his peck of dirt.”

The late Bernard Shaw was a shrewd observer of Canadian affairs as well as of the world in general. In 1912 he wrote: "Premier Borden's scheme for ouiiding up a navy for Canada by putting out her ships to nurse with the British fleet at the ex- pense of the British taxpayers, until the time comes for recalling them to form an independent navy for the Dominion, seem- ed to me to be a clever and altogether good bargain for Canada." And again: "Canada must be able to defend itself before it can be a source of real strength to England or to any other power. It need not cut the painter, but assuredly it must cut the apron- strings if it is to take its proper place in the

world as a grown-up state." 0 O I .

The Labour Government in Britain, like the Trades Union Council here has no use for the Communist Peace Congress and its signatories. Organizations and individuals belonging to the British Labor Party have been warned that "participation in the World Peace Congress being held next month in Sheffield would be incompatible with mem- bership of the Labor Party." In H, letter to constituent organizations of the party, Mr. Morgan Philips, the party secretary, said "this gathering is being convened by the Communist-inspired British Peace Commit- tee which, as announced in my circular of June 28, is on the list of prescribed organ- izations."

FARM MACHINERY

"A few yr since. thtrc was not on any farm in Prince Ed- ward lslziiid. if we excepi the plough and li'.iri'ow. and those in- disptnsabiy necessary implements which have been immemoriaily in use. a single labor-saving machine. Grazn was. till wit'.i;ii ii vary few years. tlireshed by iho flail. and winnowcd with the hand-sieve; and we are not aware who intro- duced lhe first threshing or win- nowlng machine. or we would do all that lay in our powcr to trans- mit their iiamrs to posterity as benefactors of their race.

"The first horse-rake. for hay. ever used in the Island. was im- poricd in the year 1839 by the Central Agzicultiirnl Sociciy from the United States. having been selected by J. D. H.'lS7..'iltd. E.sq.. then on a visit to that country. Since thsn. they have been manu- factured here, and have become so common. that no farmer of any enterprise or intelligence is with- out one.

"The same may be said of fan- ners or winnowlng machines: these. with the exception of the iron wheel-work. are made by our own meciianics fully as complete and

efficient as they could be ini- ported. The turnip-drill is of re- cent importation also. and the

small kind, C0llS'.l'lI('lCd to use by hand. are getting every day into greater demand. In fact, a great change has taken place in this respect within ihe last 15 or 20 years, and we trust that there will be a COilill'ii1allCO of iniportalions by spirited individuals of all those mechanical aids, which are of the first importance to every agricul- tural communiiy . . .

"It is with much pleasure that we notice two very useful labor- saving ariicics which have been lately added to the number already alluded to. The first is a machine for weeding and thinning turnips. imported by the Hon. Edward Hay- thornc. wnich we have. by the kindness of that gentleman. had an opportunity to see. it is drawn by one horse walking betivceii the drills. and on moving impels a wheel armed with small blades or knives. which cut out the supern- bundani turnips. togsiher wiln the woods. for equal spaces, leav- in: those intended to be grown at regular distances from each other in the crown of the drill. It. is also provided with culicrs at the side. for the purpose of removing the weeds lfrom thence. The machine is furnished in every part wi1.h ad- justing screws. to cnabl: it to work in every kind of drill. and to leave the plants at greater or less dis. lance apart. We hope that the a.:r;cu)tu:al population will testify int-ir appreciation of the boon con- ferred on it by the hon. gmlleman
