Our Disease Free

Area r

That was excellent advice given by Mr, 5.! G. Peppin to farmers at the Potato Growers! Association the other nigit. Reporting on the! steps taken to prevent ,and exterminate dis-i ease, he coiigrctulatcd the farmers on their‘ success in obtaining the British contract for, potatoes which was due solely to the fact that‘ we could supply disease free produce. There is? nothing to prevent us to become the source of‘ supply not only far Britain, but for Canada andl the. whole of the American continent if only

growers will rrcke sure that no disease is ul- -

lowed to intrude, and whcr: it mav llflfDffllfI-l atcly have found a footing immediate steps rirel takcn to eradicate it Mr. Poppins warninq; l

"Ycu no doubt will hcar considerable dis-l cussion during this and other meetings relative‘ to our efforts to control bacterial ring rot. Sirl- lice it to slay here, we definitely must all com-i brne our effort; in an effort to tharoughlyl control or eradicate this disease. lf that cqni be accompliihcd, than l shall be with you rntherl than against when nit comes to incrcascdl acres and production, because in simple langu-i age it ancunts to this; lf we in Prince Ed-r’ ward lsland can eradicate bacterial ring rot en-y tirely, then the other provinces and the United States and other countries will literally beat a trcck to our door to purchase cur disease-free. sccd potatoes"

The Canadian Press announced Mon-y day, there lS another increase in the price a.‘= newsprint as indicated in the following tclc-Q gram: g

"Referring to our contract with you, curl standard prrce for newsprint will b: incrmsed lty F6 a tcn cffcctiie April l, i947. A5 ycii know, International Papt-r Company has spared, no cffcrt or cxpcrtsc in order to turn out the! greatest possible volume, all of which has been,

ducted lo the ncccs of o.r ffQéllllOrlQl cus- terriers."

Whrle the price of newsprint has been hardc" s. ily c\:r the pmt l". years, the}

advance has bccn tnlicul; Ey rapid during the past fcw years. As reccnifiy as i944, for cx- ample, the pric: of newsprint to Canadian pub- lisl'-:rs was $54 ci tan, which levtl had oblained since 52p ‘-r l, I943. At the beginning of i945, there was an increase of S3 a ton, bring- ing it to $57. On January l, i946, the price was marked up by S6 a tori. On Ju.'v ll, i946, thcre was on cdvarcc cf 56.50 a trrn to $69.30. On Airgust 2'5, i946, an additional 20c left tIe price or $70. A $l0 increase went into cf- fect on October ll, i946, lifting the price to $80 a tori, domestic basis, and now the $6 furth- er ccvrrce carries the price to a lcvel 59 per ccvt above that prevailing prior to April l twoi ycars ago. Compared with 1935's $36 a fOII, the new price shows an increase of fully I39 per ccnt. Prices to United States customers are‘! $11 cbcvc those to the domestic market. -,

On a prcducticn of something in excess ofy 4 (JCQOCO tons per anaum, the latest increase in’ thr- priz: ol newsprint will result in an expansionl of well in excess of $Z4,CC0,0CO in the grcssl inccnrc of the nev/sprint manufacturing com-‘ ponies an an arrziucl basis.

Th: Jones Government's rcfuscl to ndopty the Opposition amendment to the Dominion-r Provincial tax agrecmcnt safeguarding our sub-l sirly claims may prov: disastrous to this Prov-C ince in the years to came. What remains to‘ b: pointcd out is, that notwithstanding tliel eiilogies dclivercd ovcr the agreement duringl tfzc discussion in ccntmittce, the $Z,lO0,000 of- fered as u minimum in exchange for our in-j ccrr-c, ccrpcraticn and succession duties falls' fcr short of fie 510551100 estimated by Pr¢.. micr Jzrrzs to ba cur mininrum subsidy require- ments cn the basls of fiscal need. This basis of subsidy payment, which the Mackenzie King, Government ignored, is set forth clearly in thel Rcx-rell-Firois Ccrnmssicn rcpcrt. ~

"Arcihcr ccrzcfurcn to be drawn," says, this rzpcrt, "is llICf Federal policics considered as a vhcle have tcndcd to benefit certain re» grorts more than others. These tendencies have‘ unzfcubtedly affcct:d the financial position of, every Province, and of some Provinces more thanl others. lt is theoretically possible that Federal; pclicy might so vcclren the financial position of, a Province as lo make it difficult, if not imposf riblc, for it to perform its functions on standards, raascnrbly conrparable with thoseof other Prov- inces. ln such an event we think that it is in If": national interest for the Dominion to come to the assistance of the Province thus adverse- ly affected. The inability of a Province to provide services on standards reasonably com- parable with thcse of other Provinces is bound to give rise to discontent and so impair national unity. Tne issue is not the liability of the Dominion to a Province for the adverse effects of Federal policy, but the ability of the Province to perform its functions under the Federal sys-

tcm. The measure of assistance which should be forthcoming from the Dominion is not, therefore, the net damages from the Federal

policies, but the fiscal reed o! the Province arising from any cause." '
