lt may be recalled that in I927, Canada at- tempted ta claim sovereignty over Labrador, as- serting that Newfoundland’: ownership extend- ed only to the narrow coastal strip, and adjacent fishing rights. The dispute went to the judicia committee of the Privy Council which ruled ir favor of Newfoundland. The decision was tha‘ Newfoundland owned all of Labrador to th height of land from which rivers flow eastwar and southward into the Atlantic or the St. Lawrence. The result was that Newfoundland got a big square which juts out westward into northeastern Quebec. The railway will have to cross this projection.

The Newfoundland delegates have already given interviews saying Labrador must always be I part of Newfound-land; no one else can have It. No question has arisen concerning the ownership rights of Newfoundland over Labra- dor. But the question of incorporating both Newfoundland and Labrador into Canada may be a matter of speculation from all adminis- trative standpoint.

To Gurh Expenditure

The Auditor-General has suggested a plan for improving control over Dominion Government expenditures. The Federal budget, which this year involves the raising of $2.5 billions of tax- payers’ money ‘and the spending of almost as much, by long odds constitutes the biggest busi- ness of this country. Long before this Ottawa's handling of these vast sums of public money should have been made to conform to the stand- ards of modern business. Instead, accounts have been badly jumbl-ed and too often expenditures have been rushed through in the last days of Parliament with little appreciation of the sub- ltantial amounts involved or of the exact pur- pose for which th-ey were asked.

For years the public has been led to believe that the operations of our postal system have been highly profitable. Mr. Sellar is sceptical. The accounts are not clear and operations of sev- eral departments are jumbled together. The Post Office carried 28 million pieces of first- class mail and I00 tans of third-class matter free for other departments under franking priv- ileges. Had proper postage been paid on that there would have been $1.5 millions in addi- tional revenue.

Mr. Sellar cited another set of evils. Cer- tain Crown Companies, Mr. Sellar charged, were, being carried at ridiculous valuations, both asl to plant and inventories. Not nearly enough hadl been written off in depreciation and for un-l collectible accounts. The accounts of Crawmgrgc, friend of the jute Ho". j_ A’ Muflfieson’ Cllmplllllesi ‘l5 l"?

Smart at low cost. Canadian women are as well dressed as women in the United States and at a lower cost, Abe Zavalkoff, administra- tor of women's, misses’ and children's wear of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, Montreal, told a gathering in the Royal York Hotel in pay- ing tribute to Canadian tashion designers and manufacturers. ”When it comes to style, work- manship, price and quality, Canadian dress- makers don't have to take a second place to dressmakers anywhere else in the world," Mr. Zavalkoff said. He held that women's wear, manufactured in Canada, was now well estab- lished in the export market.

A very old and widespread form of exorcism was practised by the parents of a child who, as stated to the Trowbridge magistrates, burned salt. over him to stop his hysterical crying which they at- tributed to witchcraft.

lVacations With Pay

(Ottawa Journal)

i A Board of Conciliation dealing vith a dispute between Canadian ‘ailways and the Brotherhood of mcomotive Engineers recommends "acritions with pay for employees with at. least five years scriuce. lupporting ‘.1115. recommendation. ne Board says 1t should be judged »1n the light. of what 1s “prevalent industrial practice" and what 1s "coming to be regarded 11S desir- able social policy."

We think the Board of Concil- 1at-1on's recommendation right. and supported by the right reason. No worker should be asked to work twelve months of the year with- out a break for rest and recreat- ion. this for humane reasons. and also on grounds of efficiency. It should be the wish of the capital- ist system to make this possible- to show that 1t ls capable of mak- ing 1t possible.

Whether Canadian rnlhvayxs. 1n their existing economic position. are capable of making it possible. is of course another matter. On that point, the Board of Concili- ntlon says:

"The board is nat....unm1ndfn1 of the fact that. an application 1s presently pending before the Board of Transport Commissioners for increased freight rates and sag- gests that the recommendations herein contained be brought to the attention of that Board."

The Canadian public Imve an understandable wish for the low- est possible freight rates. They have no rlizht, to freight rates which will not enable Canadian railways to do two things: (l) secure such earnings as will en- able them to operate efficiently and secure a fnlr return on their capital. and (21, treat their em- ployees justly.
