Mr. F.

This lets us see what chance otir provincial rights would have were the British North America Act to be amended to be subject to Ottawa instead of London.

For years there has been agitation in govern- ment circles at Ottawa to build a new supreme court and in this year‘s supplementary esti- mates an appropriation of $250,000 has been made to start construction.

Speaking in New York on the question, "Has the church, as at present organized, outlived its usefulness?" Mr. john D. Rockefeller, ]r., in- dicated that it had. I-Ic made it plain, how- ever, that he referred to the man-made church, and not to religion itself. “Do not misunder- stand me,” he said. “I am not suggesting that religion has outlived its usefulness. On the con- trary, it is the only hope of thc world. Never was it more needed than now. I spealc only of the church of today, as man has made it.” The trouble with such predictions is that they are much more easily made than proved. And so much depends upon what is actually meant by "the man-made church."

~ ¥ I The chances of curing primary cancer of thc breast, one of the most serious aspects of the disease, have increased from 46pm‘ cent. in 1920 to 87. per cent. today, Dr. Frank E, Adair, secretary of the American Society for the Con- trol of Cancer, reports. Dr. Adair cites the progress as evidence of the value of the educa- tional campaign which the society has carried on for twcnty-fottr years. He attributed it to thc increased attention paid by women to early symptoms indicative of the disease. Ii-Iis fig- ures were lIlSC/l upon a survey at New York

Absurd rumours about Mrs. Wzirficltl Simp son's doings and intentions are current gossip on the continent and in thc U.S./\. necessitating her Cannes host, Mr. Ilerman L.

Natural- ly, whatever happens, Mrs, Simpson will not write mcmoris or appear in a film.

1K i! , Evidently New Brunswick wants to follow P.E.I. Oyster Conservation policy, just as Nova Scotia is now doing. “Production of oysters in Canada in 1935—thc last year for which com- plete figures are available-was higher than for many years,” says the Telegraph-journal. "The total catch was 27,113 barrels, as compared with 22,424 barrels in 1934 and the lo\v of 19,477 barrels in 1922. Prince Edward Island ltd the provinces in production, as it did also in 1934. But this was not so in 1933 or 1932, as thc following table of production by provinces in the four years will show:

"Two outstanding trends are noted in these figures; first that Prince Edward Island, since assistance by the federal department was ob-

tained, the best areas on the provincial coast waded, and oyster culture carried on by experts, the production in that province has almost doubled; and second, that in thc same period the output in New Brunswick has dropped almost in proportion as it has risen in the island pro- vince. In 1932, New Brunswick produced more than half the Dominion‘s oyster yield; in 1935. less than one-third. In these circumstances, it

ilibtes By The Way

The decrease of unemployment and the increase 1n the output of the heavy lndu tries and in the 1n- vestment of long hoarded capital are proofs that. M. Blum, so far from preparing the way for Red or i Black savlours of society. has al- ready cffcctcd a substantial im- provement in iha economic and 11n- anclal state of France. HLs foreign policy has also belted the prophem of evil. The Franco-Soviet under- standing-a legacy, be ft always remembered, from the politicians of the Right-has not lnpired French foreign policy to take any un- necessary ‘risks. So little, indeed, has M- Blum "played up to Mos- cow" that his Communist allies, by the statemanlike tenacity with which he has maintained his policy of non-intervention in Spain, re- cently withheld their support in a critical division-London Times.

It is an attractive theory, but it con- ttlins one or two flaws- Some peo- ple would say 1t. reverses cause and effect; that Germany, for example, is not. war-like at present because 1t has bad food, but that it. ls re- duced to food shortages because ft is so warlike. But. there ls a more

serious difficulty. Among the Engltsh, yet they are far from the most warlike people in

the modern world. Further, cook- ing was no better 1n the Victorian em than 1t. ls now, but somehow the world was on the whole dis- tinctly more peaceful.

THE GREAT TAXATION . BRIGADE

Sin-In u. letter some time ago I pointed out that the one objective of LlberalLsm was to increase taxes, and llne their own pockets. Every passing event. confirms my claim.

Those wise enough to understand the psychologi of Grit politicians will have iCtlFllCd that. their cam- paign utterances tnust be interpret- ed to mean the direct opposite of the spoken word. Can any one cite an evidence to the contrary?

No further taxation, but economy to case the overburdened taxpayer That was thc spoken ivord. The d1- recil. opposite 1111s in every case, uptut from repudiation and refusal to pity honest. accounts, been their practice.

Ever since assuming office the Wll0i0 energy has been applied to the uunost in devising methods for

benefit, and to searching out the untaxcd things, “tangible and 1n- tangibe," by ivhich to extort more motley from the people.

Every session of legislatures, local and provmciiil, shows 1n the various 110i»; pnssetl, hidden under the camouflage of new regulations, the crave for 1211111111; more from the pockets of the unfortunate taxpay- ers.

Sales taxes, tariff schemes be- hind the doors, commissions, etc, 1n the Federal. Amusements, corpora- tions, roadside signs, sumesslon tax- cs, Increased liquor sales, and now the proposad bus and truck taxes, and the pmplicns nro scarce who can with any degree of certainty predict the end.

It 1s the magicians sleight of hand method of pulling the dollars from the victims in a. manner that they will not notice the deception.

Let those who use those public utilities take thought of the fact than they arc the ones who have to pay the piper, and the piper ls the one who packets the proceeds. Let us ])Oll(it.‘l‘ the fact that govern- mctits provinces and mtmlcipalitles are . . mdy seeking relief tn bank- ruptcy, repuiltatiiig their honest ob- ligations. bringing disgrace upon their communities, and by the meanest methods robbing those who invested ln good faith.

pgu-gd upon the horizon were: (1) the tune that must necessarily elapse 1n having the famiers chanzfl meg,- pmduelng methods sflflclent- 1y to provide a Cannery with the required fruit. wast-ables Poultry» em" (z) what market can be de- pended upon for the canned goods tn what form and at what FY5165-

To answer the second queatlon eafs for Immediate active lnvesttga- tion and fortunately $116 Emma" tlon can be obtained at com- putatively small cost. Moreover. until ft 1s known ill-it W118i "n" the finished products must take. and in what quantities, it would not be safe to ask the farmers t0 start working upon new lines-

In the matter of flsh the con- man require no nottoe to bring up from the sea all the supplies that

tapping the Trcasiuy for personal ~

any Cannery would require.

'I‘hls seems, therefore, to be the solution, namely first to set about to discover exactly what finished goods of a'1 kinds can be sold, and then to employ managemeni. 0f the highest skill to start upon a. flsh cimneity, and, while occupied 1n their organizing work, to make all the neoess y plans for the farm products .

FbrtunateJ-y Premier Campbell is thoroughly seized of the benefits of the whole undertaking and of the need for immediate aetton, as evidenced in 111s radio address 1n Education Week, and again at the Economic Conference, while Mr. LePage, Mr. McIntyre and Mr. Dennis u-e equally impressed.

When the Legislature opens it 1s but reasonable to suppose that the question of unemployment, the most important problem facing the Pro- vince today, wtll be seriously eon- sldered and that the members will give to the Government a free hand tn the nutter. 1n order that such a. course as the Government may deem necxsmv shall be followed without 10s of time.

Mr. Lalthe was admittedly strongly fmpresesd with the economic posstbfltles of the Island and it ts safe to predict that the forthmmlne report from the‘ Research Commission will warrant the taking of Immediate steps to Improve the Labour situation,

___i____ AIDING OUR FARMERS

Shh-Yesterday I read with much interest the account of the meet. 111B of the "Economic conference" here the day before yesterday; there were some noteworthy 511g. gestlons, or at least; thought pro. voktng.

I am sure that the most. of us are tn accord with Mr. Aoom 1n his de- sire to keep the young men of this Province, 1n this province, some of 118. perhaps all, for more or less selfish motives.

Now I have a suggestion, one which I believe to be practical, yet I have never seen 1t tried, 0r even SUSSBSWd; it Ls simply this: Why not buy farms and equipment, m; W1‘ Ymmg men who have had prac- "cal BXWr-‘enoe. and the necessary train-mg 1n up-bo-date methods; and who would like to fann, but lack the necessary capital? Let 7116111 D8? for them on o. commod-

Any intelligent farmer, “even u young one‘ can tell approxlmntcly how much he can produce of any given commodity; but even our ex- perts are likely t0 make a mistake 1n their predictions of the values of commodities, thus losing their pro- fit. or even incurring debt.

I feel sure that this plan would mppeal to our young men, and wom- en too, and has great possibilities.

Such a plan would I bellve go a long way 1n keeping our young people here, in what 1s primarily an agricultural province.

It would tend to gdve us a class of profitable and, permanenthlaw-

dtttons are different, for our tuner--

The Nova Scotta legislature hm just. approved a bill to enable flu provincial government, to OO-Opcruw with the Dominion in cnoournzlfll and developing the oyster and other mollusk industries 1n the province. The legislation follows along hue: 51111113,;- to that. ndipbcd by Prince 1331mm Island u few years ago, tul- wwmg which u, decided improvement w” nQwd 1n oyster production.

I do not; agree with the idea ex- pressed by one of the members. at the last meeting of the Board of Trade, in Charlottetown, that the young men do not go into farmui-g

credit will be forthcoming.

Nor do I believe that any other trflde. appeals to the majority more than farming.

The answer to why they do not Slay 0n the farm is best. given in the form of a. question. D:es 1t WY?
