”If this prospect guides public policy- making,” says the Citizen, "a great deal of human misery and unnecessary expense can be avoided. The slums of the big cities in the United States are a wretched legacy from decades of rapid but planicss growth in population. Canada already has much bad housing.

Charlottetown Conference

Story Is

From "John A. Macdonald: The Young Politician". by Donald Creighton. The MacMilian Company of Canada Limited, 1962.

On Monday. August 29. (1864) Macdonald boarded the Canadian Government. steamer, Queen Vic- torla', of Quebec. with him was a large company of people. There were. the seniors in the cabinet, Cartielr. Brown and Gait. and their Junior colleagues, McDougali, Mc- Gee, Campbell and Langevln; and -what was distinctly unusual in British North American conferen- ces-a secretarial staff of three. It was. for the times, a large, deter- mined. and well-equipped delegg- tlon that set out. from Quebec.

But it had only the vaguest notion of what its reception was likely to be at Charlottetown. The letters from the Maritime Govern- ment. had been polite-but very form-ally polite. The Maritimers might. be simply annoyed by this uninvited Canadian intrusion. The whole affair might. have I. most deplorable ending. And yet. at the same time. it was impossible not to regard the meeting at Char- lottetown as a divinely granted opportiinlty. The Canadians might succeed, though their mission was strictly unofficial: and if at the end of the conference there it seemed a reasonable prospect that 3 general federal union could be formed, then it would be easy to call H. formal conference on the subject. The great thing was to convince the Maritimers: and. as the Queen Vlctorial travelled slow- ly down the Gulf of St. Lawrence towards Prince Edward Island, the Canadlans must have been frantic- ally busy, putting the last touches to their federal plan and deciding who had best. speak on this or that phase of it.

It was late Wednesday night. the last day of August, when the steamer began slowly to approach Charlottetown. Th somewhat in- curlous citizens of he capital city of Prince Edward Island casually noticed a strange vessel just off the harbor that night; and next morning the strange vessel. which was without. benefit of pilot, came timldly up the harbour, casting the lead for safety at every few feet. The exciting news spread that the Canadians had arrived; and W. H. Pope, a member of the Prince Edward Island Govern- ment. procured a small boat and rowed manfuily out to the steam- er io greet. them. The Queen Vic- toria hoisted its flag. The breath- less Pope presented the greetings of Charlottetown and Prince Ed- ward Island. And shortly after,

the Mansion House: but there was not enough room for the Canad- ians at. the Franklin. The embar- rassed Islanders subsequently tried to excuse themselves for this un- fortunate lack of accommodation by pointing out that Monck had indicated a. Canadian delegation of only four. In the end, some of the Canadians stayed in town at the Franklin House: but most: of them remained in the Queen Vic- toria, and among these, with his secretaries, was Mocdonald.

It. was an awkward beginning. Was it an unhappy symbol of the Canadians real position? Physically their delegation was half in town and half out in the harbour; morally. they were a part. yet not a real part, of the conference. Was the whole enter- prise to end in embarrassment, irritation, and defeat? The first hour or so after the landing at Charlottetown must have been full of painful uncertainties. And yet, though the Canadians were. of course, unaware of it, their prob- lem was already solved in a. fash- ion which could hardly have been more favourable.

On Thursday morning, Septem- ber l. as the Queen Victoria was moving deliberately up the hair- bour towards Charlottetown. the Maritime Conference had held its first meeting. The delegates had scarcely assembled when the news of the imminent. arrival of the Canadians was announced. And then an odd but revealing event occurred. with a unanimity and alacrity which almost suggested a general sense of mental relief. the conference decided that it would postpone the discussion of Mori- time unlon until the unofficial visitors, the Canadians, had had a chance to present their very dif- ferem. plan.

This was the wonderful news that greeted the adventurers from the 'Quecn Victoria'. They may have heard it. first at. about twelve o'clock when all the delegates went out to Governmentf-louse, on the outskirts of the town, to pay an official visit to Lieutenant- Governor Dundas. .They were to be heard at once! The conference had cleared its agenda. for them! Everybody was ready to give im- mediate attentlon to what they had to say. It. could hardly have been a more courteous reception.

ates. ceased to be a. meeting for the consideration of 9. Maritime legis- lative union: it was becoming ii conference for the promotion of British North American federation. Everything that subsequently oc- curred seemed to confirm this too- itly acccpted view. On Tuesday- befoie the Maritime delegates had devoted, so much as l! single ses- sion to their own separate project -the conference decided that it would adjourn two days later and proceed to Halifax.

On Wednesday-when at long last the Marltlmers got down to the subject for which the confer- ence had ostensibly, been called- a. complete impasse was quickly reached as a result of Prince Ed- ward Island's impossible demand that the capital of the united pro- vinces ehould be established at Charlottetown. It. was not that Macdonalcl and the Canadians were hostile to Maritime union- so long, of course, as it did not get in the way of federation. Ac- cording to a rumour which the correspondent; of the Halifax Morning Chronicle retailed to his readers. the Canadians were re- ported to be quite indifferent. as to whether the Maritime Provin- cea should enter their proposed federation as one government or three. But. the Moritimers simply could not agree. And now the best. chance of reaching an agree- ment had gone by. The confer- ence was on the move. On Thurs- day, September 8, the delegates went. off on an excursion to tho northern part of the Island; and that night, when they returned, came the finol'ball.

First. then. the supply of imported fodders, which were the mainstay of the pre-war industry. declined heavily. Secondly. human beings once more began to eat food formerly given to pigs-more wheat. in the loci, 'for instance. meant'less wheat offsis in the trough. For the pig does not cre- ate food, he merely converts one sort of food into another-and, in so doing, he inevitably takes his toll. But his terms were too high for a besieged nation: food for di- rect human consumption, whether imported or homegrown, was too valuable to be processed, at 3 price. by the pig. In statistical texniii, therefore, the pig population of England and Wales, some 3.515.000 in 1939, fell to 1.988.000 in 194i and 1.146.000 in 1947.
