The present. visit to Ottawa of

better auto rates were continually being pressed during the past two years.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A lttle cooler but more enjoyable

Interest of rlflemen is now cent

on Ottawa

The airmen were delighted with

their visit and wish tc come again.

Counting our blessings is much

more profitable than nursing our

ievances

A visitor from T0'Nntc said he

had more enjoyable, refreshing sleep in the Queen Hotel here than

ywhere in his travels. `

This day week the Provincial hibition will be open, and we will looking forward to the arrival

of the Jacques Cartier delegation. Preparations should now be made for buntlng and flag-flying.

The good news that the auto

fares on the Car lilerry have been reduced to $2 single and $3 return will be appreciated by none more sincerely than visitors for the Pro- vincial Exhibition and Jacques Car- tier celebration.

It is appropriate that Hon. Alfred

Duranleau, Minister of Marine, should extend to the Jacques Car- tier delegation the official welcome to Canada. He will be able to in- spect the newly :repaired wharf ot the same time.

A correspondent' suggests that

while the examination of the report of the Duncan Commission will be the chief work of the new Maritime Commission, it should be empow- ered to inquire into everything that has arisen between the provinces and the Federal Government dur- ing the last eight years, and that the draft defining the powers of the Commission should be submit- ted to the respective govemments for approval.

The doyen of, Canadian editors,

Mr. John Redpath Dougall, M.A. LI...D. will be ninety-three on Fri- day. Although long past the allot- ted span Mr. Dougall has been writing editorials and supervising his well known paper, the Montreal Witness, up till the end of June. A year or two ago on being asked by the Canadian Press for a birth- day message, he replied simply: “Tell them to 'Seek first the King- dom of God and all these things shall be addedunto you."‘ May he be spared to see yet another anni- versary.

Everybody is agreed that the

Potato Growers Association is as- sentlal to the success of the seed growing industry, and now that its financial troubles have been fully ventilated and the policy and man- agement unanimously endorsed, the Directors will be able to proceed with their development operations free and untrarnmelled.

The cost of the scheme could be made up, it is suggested, by a charge of one-quarter cent a pound cn all cattle processed during the _next year or two. Saskatchewan is opposed to this wholesale slaughter and the new government suggests this alternative; First, an effort should be made to ascertain as nearby as possible the exact number of milch cows that should be kept on the farms. Then would follow an attempt to arrange purchase of all the best remaining stock, rim including the scrubs or oulls, at one cent a pound liveweight, the govemment to do the buying at that price.

I realized that the officer had

been guility of a gross breach of club etiquet in divulging what had taken place at a. private function, but as the news was going to be published in the press of Montreal anyway I felt justified in sending it to The Timm..

the Commissioners were nocupylnk I was ushered into the presence cf the trinity by Colonel Lake. There were no introductions. The Little Gefielal was standing at the head of the table, the other two officers to the right and left of him. A copy of The London Times was spread open in front of the chalrrnan.

When I entered the room I said

"Good mom`ng, gentlemen."

Nc response. Pointing to The

Times. the chairman shouted at me. as if he were giving a word of com- mand on the parade ground: "Did you send this?"

It is said of newspaper men that

they fear neither man nor devil. The tone of my questioner d'd not fluster me. on the oontarv I was somewhaib irritated. Inshead of answering I quietly remarked. “Pardon me: but I would like to know who is addressing me."

My iriterrogator nearly dropped in

MR.. MALLINSON OBJECTS

Sir,-The local Press in reporting the annual meeting of the P. E.` I. Potato Growers Association re- fers to a. resolution adopted at that meeting urging the Minister of Agriculture to approve of a, scheme for the marketing of the potatoes of this Province. i

ledge of the nature of this scheme

E. I. Potato Growers Association and only that Association then there would be no criticism. But it does not. It must be well known to the originators of that resolution that under the Natural Products Marketing Act. 1934 it is enacted that where a scheme for the mar- keting of any controlable Product is submitted to the Minister of Ag- riculture by it substantial majority of those involved and receives the approval of the Minister. then it becomes law and everyone within the area of the schemes operation becomes bound hand and foot by it. In view of this fact lt is almost unbelieveable that a private meeting of a special faction representing but a fraction of the potato industry should be used in an attempt to force a se- cret scheme an the whoie of this

known to any but a handful This secret scheme may be wonderful or it may be otherwise, it may give everyone an equal consideration or it may be selfisllly planned in the peculiar interests of the P, E, 1, Growers Association and against the best interests of the industiy at large. Nobody knows, but we all have a rlcht to know and the very nature of its conception and in- troduction induces slcerptlclsm.

i'n the senate scones the leader of that House in debating this Natural Products* Marketing Act stated that it was not intended to control small growers but only to control such produ0e Bs »v/as ship' pcd outside the Province wherein grown. So that if we let ourselves be controlled by Ottawa and there is no likely attempt to control On- tario, Quebec and New Bninswick we would be in a perpetual muddle and our business would be taken away from us. The inevitable re- sultant dlsaster and loss is hard to contemplate. Our marketing success lies in keeping clear of all schemes, combinations and restric- tions. It needs a more intensive selling campaign.

The submission of this scheme is

one of the most serious matters which has ever confronted the pot- nto industry of this Province. and under no consideration must we al- low any special faction _to submit it priva-te scheme to the Minister as being representative of the major- ity of the potato industry wishes if it is not so.

Bridges We Never Cross

(Ottawa Joumall

One of the worst afflictions od

most of us is our propensity to cross bridges before we come to them. Always we are oonjurlng up some desperate thing ahead, some disaster ol- danger from which, as we see ii. in our fear, there is no escape. Experience may have taught us that nine times out of ten these disasters are never reached, but it doesn't matter. Fear, like a lot od other evils, knows little of logic, is immune from common sense. So year after year, and all through our lives. we spend hours and days worrying about what is in be, about something we feel certain will en- gulf us later on.

Illustrative of this is the story of

the Dominion Government’s trans- actions in wheat. For two years or more the Government has been buying wheat, or having an agent buy it with the Gm/e'mment's cred- it. The experts all said it was dis- astrous. We should go on buying

was no escape.

And what now? This week iii

Winnipeg wheat reached one dollar. and the Govemment. ill-Wild °‘ standing to lose millions, bankrllili' ing us all, stands to make millions. A week or two ago the Goverrimeilti wheat profits were said to be around sl4,ooo_ooo; seeing that the wheat price has jumped since they HWS" be more now. They may bt M much as $20,000,000.

Now it may be true that the Gov-

ernment‘s agent couldn't sell his wheat tomorrow, or even wltlllli illtl next few weeks, and realize B31 these profits. If he tried in scll it all at once, or a great deal at a time, he might depress the market, lose his profits. But what is clclil' is that he is selling a collsidcrible part of what he holds. and lhllt he is making some money- Wim is also clear- is mot all me fearful talk a lot of us indulged in about this wheat was just panic ahmlil nothing, little more than mir llablt of crossing bridges before wr' film” to them.
