FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1920. VALVE or‘ I’R0l’.\G.»\ND.-\.
The current issue of The Empire Mail, London, England, just received, publishes a number of excel- lent articles dealing with various phases of recon- struction. '
One article particularly, on Britain’s Opportun- ity, is of special interest. “All the portents,” it declar- es, “go to show that a trade boom of stupendous magnitude is in store for this country and the great Overseas Dominions, if labonr troubles do not bar the way." Advising a course of mutual helpfulness, co- operation and modified demands on the part of em- ployers and employees, it proceeds to discuss some of the means by which the country and the Empire could develop its home and foreign trade. In this connection it instances the value of propaganda. From this section we quote:
“Until the great ivar came we were not only lamentably short of any properly organized scheme of national publicity but it must be painfully admit- ted that those who argued for the establishment of such a scheme were treated with scant attention. The needs of war taught us all, from the government to the humblest citizen, that propaganda of the right kind is a weapon which’ no country can afford to ne- glect as a means of achieving its end, whether mili- tary or otherwise. Those who doubt the value of pub- licity may be recommended to read the memoirs of General Ludendorfi‘, in whose hands the military des- tinies ofGermany were placed during the most cri- tical period of the great struggle. The plaint is made . again and again in his book that Germany was not beaten by the Allied armies but by the Allied propag- anda, WillCll, like the blockade, was slow but sure in its relentless effect”
Propaganda properly and intelligently ‘conduc- ted, has built up the business of countries and of in- dividuals. It would perhaps not be toomuch to say that no business worthy of the name, whether of a country or of an individual, has been made a success urithout propaganda. '
One of the best examples of the value of propag-
anda in recent years is that conducted by the Fur Auction Sales in New York and St. Louis. The pro-
moters of these sales spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars not only in advertising their auctions but in
setting the pace in fur fashion and making furs
fashionable. Through the sheer persistence of this
propaganda the prices of furs have advanced enor-
mously, the use of furs has increased and the whole
fur business has prospered. The promoters are now
reaping millions where they spent thousands.
In this province we have a business that has brought wealth to many in other countries and to a few in our own. There has been littleadverttsing,
no systematized propaganda in connection with our fox business and the wonderful extension o_f the busi-
ness has resulted largely through the publicity given it by outsiders. The fox men, as a class, have spent little on real propaganda work, yet in this business we have a mine of illimitable wealth which, if devel-
oped by a systematic propaganda, the cost borne proportionately by all, would mean wealth to all en-
gaged in it. _ _ . Another of our undeveloped resources 1s our tourist business. This business has grown spontan- eously. advertised only by those who ' ' summers here and tell their friends about 1t. Develop- ment of this business would mean many thousands of dollars yearly to the province and it could be de- veloped almost indefinitely by a well organized cam- paign of advertising abroad.
NO YSE KICKING.
The chef of one of the leading hotels in New York is authority for the statement that the day of the lobster is gone. Thishe attributes, not to the failing supply of this delicious crustacean but to the fact that no one wants it without its natural and logical accompaniment, whiskey. Since prohibition
~ threw its pull over the United States, according to
this authority‘, lobster has not been served to any ex- tent in hotels or restaurants. Asked if there was no better condiment to lobster than whiskey he would no doubt indignantly ask “What better condiment do you want?" The diminishing quantity of lobster taken around our shores in recent years may therefore be regarded as a natural process of evolut10n,_a prepar- ation for the days foretold and presumably inevitable when the country would become bone_‘dry. On the other hand, if the bone dry condition lS the natural corollary to the diminishing supply of lobster, it still savors of evolution and therefore to be accepted as we accept other natural processes. If there were no lobsters, human or otherwise there would be no need of whiskey and, so long as there is no whiskey and nothing better with which to gratify the lobster, we may with what resignation we can command watch the extinction of the lobster.

ocal Liberalism at the capital
‘is up against hard times. The 0t- tawa Reform Association held their annual meeting Friday 20th, inst, The reports show that despite it being the year of the great Liber- al conference, tliennembarshlp of {r479 in V1911 had fallen off m s34 in 1919. while the munlflcent bal- ance of $44 adorned the treasury. lMr. McDonald spoke "in scathing terms of Lord Norihcllffe and Blr Clifford Slfton whom he blamed particularly for the defection of practically all the Liberal news- papers from the Liberal ranks" in 1917. lie also commented upon the "depressing"—“fluctuatlon in mem- bersbip." "l know the cause for this" he stated, "but I will not say what it is." Wise McDonald. He had better not. Leave the emaciat-

There ls much in the Falconwood report, although emblazoned‘ in black headlines by the Patriot, which after all is only common- place. Some plaster has fallen down. This occurs often, in many homes and place; of business and much more so in a large institu- tion where four or five hundred people are housed. The only dlifer- enca is that the tidy hours holder or business man calls in a plaster er and repairs the damage at a cost of a few dollars, while the slovenly Bell Government em- ploys an expensive commission to tell them that the plaster has fal- len and noeds repairs.

There is a‘ similar weariness autongst Federal Liberals. The "brilliant" young Lyon McKenzie
King is not making good in the country. Dishes of platitudes which he has been serving out on the plat- form are not in accord with popu- lar taste. The people are not look- ing for lhetorio on political econ- omy. They want something -to
meet t: hungry situation. They find no food in flowery word's flourish-
spend their t
lug around ‘borimred- ideals; sonic- thing practical to allay the indus- trlnl unrest; something to aid the masses in their struggle for exis- ‘tcrnre again-t the liigli cost of llving_ and something to equalize the val-' ue of the dollar Willi living con-l ditions. bicKenzie King when ask-g cd for bread has given a stone, and.‘ Liberals are heavy hearted. V
Saul-ho of the Patriot is again‘ parading his boomerang, this time M limit Paulie. He is always windy if you lake him at his best. There‘ may be cxctlse this time for an extra breeze. He probably thought a cooling current would alloy the in. flamatitm cuusctl by tho Guardian's stinging rejoinder. His mistake was in using a. lienvy (Pratt of hot air. He i5 poorly versed in political
therapeutics. Hence his endless verbosity “Brlmftil of noise and nothing."
H0 Bill's the Guardian admits the truth of the Commission. This is uol so. Not possessed of actual evidence the Guardian ls not in a position to either affirm or deny. Not knowing, we refused to re- tlect on the men who made the ' report. The making of serious charges we leave to the Patriot and to Dr. Goodwill, the managing stall‘ of Fnlcomvootl and the govern- ment OIIlCltIIS still iutlie employ of the government; we leave a free hand to repel the Patriot's impoach-_ merit. We venturepto say that in this contest the Doctor and his ef-'

The Bell combination are in din: need of funds. Those salaries, pic»
tuned by them as socxtravalant”
while in opposition, are now] too meagre for their cspaclous mews. A Patriot writer, no doubt ‘inspir- ed from behind the throne, is pav- ing the way"for coming increases. The Premier and the Attorney General. he says, only get $1300 and $1500 each. about the rate earned ‘by a mechanic. He also compares the big salaries paid in the largerprovinces, which by the way he alleges is for the same work, Comparisons are sometimes odious. but when the flesh is proud the surgeon must apply the caustic. The mechanic when he gets his $1,500 earns his money. To do so he must have skill for his calling, and brawn to “sustain his skill. Without these he would have to step out and work for what ‘he was worth. if some of these des- pised mechanics were in the Prem- ier's Place, the Falconwood Com- mission would not- be needed. In the other provinces they have mil- lions of revenue to handle, mil- lions of people to govern. vast ter- ritories to control and public works and institutions of magnitude in comparison with our clot of a pro- vince with its 93,000 population. In the big provinces they require men of stature to administer their af- fairs, and from their big resour-
ces they can‘ pay for the class of men which they get and need forl their work. But more anon.

Slrz-Wihat excuse has the gov- ernment to offer for not having the ice burned between Earnscliifa and Howard's Cove? The ice has always been as a route to and from Char. lottatown by the people of Belfast and vicinity‘ whenever winter con- ditions made it safe to travel on and it has always been hushed to guide the traveller in" case of a. storm. Yet, although the ice has never been in better condition than it has been for the past six or seven weeks, the above. mentioned por- tion of the route ha; not been hushed up to tho present nor-has the track between Governor's ls- land and shore been marked to the great danger of the travelling pub- lic. IFor example, Mr. Douglas‘ Buc- hanan of Mt. Buchanan left Char- lottetown for home Friday events; 13th at 3 p. m. After getting on the ico at Corlslie's shore the star-n came up and having no bushes to guide lizrr he went astray he wr-n- llervd around all night trying to make land somewhere until finally he reachetlaimost to the open wat-
