Harbor Survey

The Maritime Board of Trade which con-

~- venes at Halifax this week will be asked to

indorse resolutions of the CharlottetownBoard of Trade asking for improved harbor facilities at Charlottetown and improved train service be- tween Sackville and Charlottetown.

The latter resolution is in the nature of a “hardy perennial” but is none the less import- ant for that reason.

Equally important is the emphasis placed on the need of harbor improvement. As MR. I. O, HYNDMAN pointed out at a recent council meeting of the Charlottetown Board of Trade, this appears to be an opportune time to ask for such improvement, in view of the survey work carried on last summer. The survey of the Charlottetown harbor from Hillsboro Bridge out to the Bay was undertaken by the BENNETT (iorernment as a preliminary to stirveying the tidal waters and subsequently the piers to as- certain what requirements are needed to give Charlottetown modern docking. facilities for trans-Atlantic trafiic. It was also proposed to take up the matter of dry-dock facilities at Southport. The survey was initiated chiefly through Mr. W. CHESTER S_ McLUauz, Ex-M. P., in co-operation with the Charlottetown Board of Trade, and met with general approval. There is no reason why it should not be pushed for- ward to completion under the new administra- tion. The support of the Maritime Board of Trade in this connection will be of assistance in bringing the matter before the attention of the authorities at Ottawa. ' '

The Washington Deal.

Congntulating Prime Minister KING on his good fortune in stepping into a situation which has enabled him to achieve a certain meas- ure of tariff concessions by the United States avithin a fc\v weeks of his attaining oflic. To- ronto Satirrday Night adds: “We say good for- tune advisedly, because the determining circum- stances to which he owes that achievement were entirely in Washington and were not of his mak- .ing_ Mr. ROOSEVELT needed something to divert the public mind from the recent United States elections and the hostility of theiSupreme Court towards much of his legislation. Hc needed im- mediate action if that something was to be in the realm of tariffs, because the presence of Senators and Congressmen at \Vashington, especially if engaged in their sessions, would have gravely impeded the work of his negotiators and exposed him to pressure from many different sides. There was, from his standpoint, every reason for get- ting a Ca adian tariff deal through as promptly as possib e, and for making it fairly spectacular, not only from the point of view of expanded markets for the American exporter, but also from that of relief for the American consumer, who is finding the pressure of the purely domestic steps to stem the depression in- creasingly severe. Moreover, Mr. ROOSEVELT is ‘by temperament a spectacular performer, and likes to see the sparks fly, an activity which they will not show unless the iron is hot.” ‘

Telling Him on

The Toronto Globe says that “with the rare

exception, the newspapers of Canada, regardless of politics, express regret over the prospective retirement of Premier Hawaiian from public life." One paper, the Temperance Advocate, official organ of the Ontario Temperance Feder- ation and the Canadian. Temperance-Federation, has not yet been heard from; but judging from its October issue it will not shed many tears over Mr. Hartman's exit from public life, According to the Advocate, the Ontario Liberal Premier is not only “not a dry" but he is "belligerently wet in policy and instead of taking an impartial and fair attitude toward all sections of public opinion he is using his public office to fight the battles of the Moderation League, and is apparently deter- mined to impose on Ontario the domination of the liquor trade."

Mr. Huravnn, the Advocate charges, “came into provincial politics strongly backed by wet influence. Despite the fact that the convention that appointed him as leader ordered that the liquor question should be removed from politics, one of his earliest announcements of policy was to the effect that if Premier he would proclaim the beer bill.” He had stated also that he would require every member of his Cabinet to be in harmony with that policy. “This utterance," says the official organ of the Temperance Federation, “consigned to political obscurity servants of the public and of the Liberal party who, because of their character, their service and their standing in the House and in the party, merited recogni- tion, Again, this utterance was unnecessary. It was surely enough to say he would proclaim the bill. Did he have to give hostages to the liquor trade? Did he have to present to them on a charger the political heads of any and every man who in the House had dared to refuse sub-

servience to the liqii6'r"'fffd€"1JYVOti'tlg“agaitrst‘

the beer bill? This utterance stuck a. blow at independence, moral ideals ‘and integrity in pub- lie men." And in the same issue); “The transfer of liquor control from the department of the Attorney-General to that of the Treasury. which the Premier holds himself, suggests that!" h" view the whole question is mllch more a matter. of revenue than of 1w and order _or even of human values.

American farm producers get a fifty per cent. reduction in the Canadian tariff on a long list of home-grown vegetables, including aspara- gus, beans, cabbage, carrots, beets, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, parsley, peas, rhubarb spinach and tomatoes. In return we get a simi- lar reduction on the U. S. tariff on turnips, a smaller reduction on seed potatoes, and no re- duction on table stock. This may work out to somebody's advantage, but we had better “wait and see" before celebrating the event as a boon to Maritime agriculture.

“Business conditions in Britain show a de- cided improvement, and with the exception of coal mining all industries are more active than they have been for a considerable time,” states Mr. Ants-ram FRASER,,K.C., traffic vice-presi- dent 9f the Canadian National Railways, who has just returned from a business visit to Europe.

The growing intensify of frlcliim between Japanese generals and the local authorities in North China has an obvious relationship to the Halo-Ethiopian war. Japan seized Manchurla in i931, while all other countries with Eslatlc interests were engrossed with problems arising from the depression. In spite Of solemn assurances from Toklo that. no further aggression against China. was contemplated, there have been many indications that Japanese expamlonlst ambitions are still far from satisfied. Now the concentration of the League ot na- tions upon Musolinfs activities provides an opportune moment for Japan to tighten the thumb-screws upon China-Washington Ptrt.
