Mr. -Gardiner's Attitude

It does not appear that Agricul- . ture Minister Gardiper, in decrying the request of our potato groweis lfor tariff protection, has studied very carefully the detailed briefs presented on this subject some time ago. All will agree that it is neces- sary to use "a little judgment in handling these things", but the unit applies with much greater force to the tariff protection af- forded many other Canadian indus- tries. Our farmers would probably be very pleased to have free trade with the United States. Their pre- sent concern is not to seek discrim- inatory tariffs but more equitable trade in a product which is of very great importance to them in this section of Canada.

The facts. as set forth in the briefs above referred to, indicate that it was never the policy of any government of Canada, since 1879, to abandon the Canadian potato in- dustry to the extent that occurred in 1939, when the principle of coun- tervailing duties with the United States was discontinued, allowing U. S. potatoes to enter Canada free at all times except for a six week period, June 15 to .luly'3l, when a 371.6 C15. per 100 lb. dilly was im- posed. This might have wiped out the Canadian potato industry had it not been for the intervention of the war, accompanied by strict import controls and further restrictions which followed the war period in the form of the Foreign Exchange Conservation Act, the premium on American exchange and the assist- ance of the Agricultural Prices Sup- port Act. For a limited time the operation of high, fixed support prices on potatoes by the U. S. government encouraged exports of Canadian potatoes to that country.

The situation is different today. United States has retained its full tariff of 75 cts. per 100 lbs. on all potato imports in excess of about V4, to 1 percent of its potential re- quirements and has imposed further restrictions besides. As a conse- p quence, under substantially free en- - try, United States has more than " itrebled its exports of table pota- toes to Canada, reaching in some years a quantity approximately equal to 10 per cent of our actual table consumption.

Nor are we compensated by our ser-rl potato markets to anything like the extent of former years. When there is a surplus of certified seed potatoes they are offcrcrl at about the same price as table stock and. conscquent'ly, many are sold through the nrlrmal food distributing channels. 'llli4--p facts all cntcr into the pic-turc so lat" as our growers are conccrncd. It is not a qilcstion. as Mr. flaiviiiicr says. of ”killing off H good markct to re- Iain a poor onc." hut of giving the lllfIllSIl')' a rcasonal)lc mcasurc of protection at a time when it is ser- iously threatened with disaster.

World War, the first volume of which is to be published late this month. The purpose of the written record. according to Col.

This is a laudable purpose. in- deed; and it does not lose any of its importance by the fact that Can- ada, in concert with all the Western - nations. is striving to free man-

only right that there should be I detailed record of an Institution which played so important a part in the preservation of the freedom and security we now enjoy. It would be well if similar records were made of achievements credited to the Navy, the Air Force, and the Mer- chant Marine.

In pursuing peace and working for it with, diligence, Canadians must not and dare not overlook the possibility of war. And should war come, which Heaven forbid. Col. Stacey's account of what took place in the 1939-45 period-the brilliant planning and successes as well as the mistakes and temporary fail- ures--will be most useful in helping forward intelligent judgment and wise strategy for the new and heavy problems that will arise.

Dr. Dewar's Birthday

The Guardian joins with a host of friends and well-wishers in ex- tending felicitations to Dr. G. F. Dewar. who will be observing his ninetieth birthday anniversary on Monday, and who. although now in retirement, is still remarkably act- ive and retains his keen interest in the community and Province.

Dr. Dewaris name has been a household word for generations; he typified all that was meant in that grand old phrase, "the family phy- sician” and his long years of pro- fessional practice in Charlottetown and throughout Queenls County brought him into intimate contact with our citizens. He took pride in being always available on call, and in never having turned down an ap- peal for his services, however poor the family, however unseasonable the hour or whatever were the conditions of the roads or the weather. Moreover, his gentle and sympathetic personality was medi- cinal in itself, and his very pres- ence in a sick room inspired hope and confidence. Residing as he does now at the Prince Edward Island Hospital, he still brings cheer and comfort to many a sickroom and is a welcome visitor at all times.

It is the hope of all his friends that he will round out his century, and that there will be many other occasions on which to pay him affectionate tribute.

Prehistoric Alberta Corridor

the migration from Asia into America.

Dr. Douglas Leechman, director of the Glenbow Foundation in Cal- gary, told the Alberta Historical Society that investigations this summer have ”proved conclus- ively" that man first entered North America about 20,000 years aim.

Dr. Leechman said men used Alberta as a route and drilled south through a corridor between two huge ice caps which covered northern Canada.

CORRIDOR T0 PLAINS

This corridor, which approxi- mates the Mackenzie river basin of today, led the primitive tribes through Alberta to the plains.

Dr. Leechman said 10 years of archaeological research culminated last summer when Dr. H. M.

The story is being told of the brigadier at the British War off- ice who used to file official doc- uments under the carpet in his office. According to Lord Windle- sham, a former Grenadier Guards officer. when the brigadier in question was retired "full of years and honnrs,' it was decided to clean out his office. even to tak-

ing up the carpet. Lord Windla- sham goes on: "Underneath the carpet they

found dozens of files. The brig- adier had bccn in the habit of puting them there. Wheneve an issue -ainc lo luni hc could not answer, or l'0lli(i not find anyone to pass it on Io, he put the. files

under the carpet and nailed it down.” The brigadicrs filing system

had merit in lhc -cnsc that both he and his gem-izumn of officers were saved a grcal dcal of un- necessary frouhlc lhroiigh its use But was he noi unfair generations or l'I('l'Ix'!s and staff officers? it is hard to believe that after the filcs ucrc discover- ed, they were sunply llirimn away.

ARMY TECIINIQIT.

I recall hat whcn Ill) unu first moved into Lillc Barracks near Aldershnl a carpcnlcr from the garrison engiiicc-rls officc canic a- round to put up pistol racks in the quarlermasterls stores. 'l'he quartermaster explained that we hadn't ordered the racks and that we hadn't any pisluls. Thr carp- enter admited that this has so but said the order had hccn plac- ed with the engineer thrcc ycars before by .: o).ii .. r-c -ii'.'l1V unit which had sincc gone to India. and unless the order was filled the engineer couldn't file the doc- ument away. Since, as the carp- enter explained rcusnnably. an un- filed document was manifestly im- possible in the army. the order would have to be filled Which he proceeded to do.

Later on. I found out that the sending and filing of documents is I sort of game in the Army.

For in time I was a clerk at divis- I tonal artillery headquarters. one of my superior officers. I.-Bdr. Jones, told me that mall-sorting would be among my duties, in Idditlou to ensuring that everyone had ten in the afternoon and that

last long being fired for incompet- ence. which from the Army's point of view was if just indictment.

It was only I short time after my arrival that I did two things I Ihouldnt have done. The stream of letters going "r"' mv r" Wu" reduced to a trickle and I usurp- ed some of the duties of the min: clerk. though he was a step above myself in the hierarchy. A letter would come in from corps head- qur-ters asking us to ask 'l'Inlr

I Wormington, curator of archaeol- ogy at the Denver Museum of Natural History, made a field trip for the Glenbow Foundation investi- vating ancient sites in Alberta. Dr. Wormington found numerous signs of a culture which later be- came established in the southern United States He said there is no doubt the first inhabitants came to Canada from Siberia-a scant 42 miles across the Bering Sea. Dr. Lcechman said that. gen- I erally speaking, the American In- dian is Mongoloid in appearance with black hair. brown skin and dark eyes. He believes the lighter- skinned natives of eastern America descended from a people who were among the first inhabitants of this continent and who passed through Siberia before the Mongoloid strain was established in that area.

THREE ROUTES After the early natives crossed to the northwestern tip of America, they are believed to have followed three general routes to the south. The first was up the Yukon and

laces they had on hand. I would think, really, what a question. and would file the letter in the waste-paper basket, from which it would subsequently be taken to be burnt, on the grounds that ,: it might contain material whichi would give comfort to the enemy.

I congratulated myself on my success in saving the army use- less tasks. not aware at the tune , that staff officers at. various hcad- - quarters ask each other these questions because, in finding the answers, they gain an opportunity to appear efficient. Lacking a , war to go to. what else can they do" But I realized their needs too late.

Perhaps the best filing system. was that used by the late D. B. I .llacRae, then editor of the Reg- ; ma Leader-Post. Mr, Macliae used I a method still widely employed by newspapermen Indtadmlrably ill- uslraled in a movie made some years ago by W. C. Fields. His mcmoranda and clippings. were often illegible to anyone but him- scii and. in any case. had litle meaning to outsiders as they fol- loucd no clear pattern. This gave his filing system I privacy which

no lock or code could bestow. The -

files themselves he placed loosely on lop of his desk, where they formed I heap which sometimes I')f't'aITI9 monumental. When he

wanted anything he would simply :

pzmsc for a moment, think. then place his hand into the pile and pull out the memo or clipping he sought and which he had filed several months before. If he ever made I! mistake. I have found no witness to prove it; II far I! I know. he was always right.

Porcupine rivers and down the 1 Mackenzie basin to Alberta. Then, as the polar cap receded, another I route was followed down the Pelly river. The third route touched the northern part of the Alaska high- way and passed down the west side of the Rockies.

It was not a conscious migra- tion, said Dr. Leechman who de- scribed it as a "diffusion of popu- lation." Only gradual movements of a few miles at a time were made until, within 20,000 years, the southern tip of South America was reached.

Contrary to popular opinion. he added, the Eskimo is not the most recent arrival from Asia. This title belongs to the Chipewyan Indians and other tribes of the Athapascan
