LIBERAL VOLTE FACE

During the Draft Address debate.

member after member og the Op- position made the statement that Gho |.\'chlbect’s fees at 1“BlC0l1W00d Hospital were for “a hundred thou- sand dollar building" - meaning thereby the reconstructed East Wing. 'l‘his statement was correc- ted by the Premier and other Con- servative speakers, who pointed out that the plans drawn by the archi- tect were for a complete mental hospital unit.

The Opposition persisted in mis-

stating the case, however, Mr. Mc- Intyre going so far as to say that he irltended to do so all through the campaign. Now, however, he has changed his tune. 1-le has "dis- covered"-what the Premier was telling him all along--that the plans were for a complete hospital unit, and that the East wing represented but a small part of what \vas actu- ally required for the mentally ii-511°' ted. y It was also pointed out that about

$30,000 was paid by the trustees oi’ the Prince Edward Island Hospital for the construction of their new hospital building,-a fact which showed very clearly that the archi- tect's fees for the Fnlconwood plans, in view of the details involved, were not excessive.

It is amusillg to note that the Op-

position volte face on this matter is heralded in the Liberal press as a wonderful “find." _

lrhe some organ, which is so ex- cited about the idea of this Province providing adequately for its mental charges, quotes Mr. B. W. I.ioPage as "condemning" the Government for not having pledged the taxpay€I‘S' money to guarantee. the Potato Growers' Association indebtedness. It pi-cressos to quote Mr. LoPaze’s criticism, but we note that it SUP' presses the most significant remark which that gentleman made. Mr. LePage declared that the Govem- .ment should have gone "quietly" W the Bank and arranged matters so that the whole affair could have ibeen hushed up. He was even Crit- ical of the directors because they _did not tkeep the true financial ‘statement "under their hats" at the last annual meeting.

The fees paid for the Falconwood

plans would have gone but a short way in guaranteeing the Potato Growers' Association debt. As l-lon.

ildr. Sharp pointed out, the amount

'hen been more than saved by 0011- servatlve economies at 1-‘alconwood wer their Liberal predecessors. i1l1d» me Province is better on today. as fpr._Al` Falconwood is concerned. than ld the Lea-McIntyre-l..ePage aggregation were in power and we never had a fire!

tpen‘s total trade with Canada

in 1934 was valued at 62,759,707 yen (100 yen equals approximately $28) ll 38linSt 53,471,775 yen in 1933, an increase of 9,237,932 yen, writes Nr. A. K. Doull, Assistant Trade Commissioner in Tokyo, in the forthcoming issue of the Commer- cial Intelligence Journal. Exports to Canada were valued at 8,866,007 yen as compared with 6,580,441 yen, an increase ol 2,os5,64c _vena imports from Canada were valued at 54,093,- yen as against 46,891,334 yen, an increase of 7,202,236 yen. Japan had thus an unfavourable balance of trade with Canada. Canada was Japalrs tenth largest supplier of all countries during 1034 and ninth during the previous year. Japan’s, largest exports to Canada were pot- tery, rim and paddy, tea, toys and raw silk. Canada has been Japan’s second best customer for her tea exports. The following other pro-

were exported to Canada dur-

the year: artificial silk tissues, tissues, buttons, brushes, men- crystals, and silk handker- Japufs largest imports from

Imports of this product from Canada amounted to 13,599 tons as against 15,913 tons in 1933. Imports of zinc from Canada amounted to 41 per cent of the total. Imports of beef from the Dominion, which have been practi- cally nil for the last few years amounted to 683,383 pounds as com- pared with 924 pounds in 1933 and nil in 1932. Exact figures for the total amount of flour imported in- to Japan from Canada in 1904 are so far not available, but it is safe to assume that of the 45,200 sacks imported during the year, as shown in the trade returns, 80 per centt came from Canada.

Premier llzmsay MacDonald says

arniarrlentg presupposs war, and their purpose is to secure victory.-It has been abundantly proved that a heavily armed nation does not frighten otlur possible war-makers to pursue the ways of peace; it does not prevent war. The deterrent value of arms is infiniteslmi-L and, when the arms are clearly offen- sive, their influence is in the end to make their use inevitable.

Snlplng at the policies of the

Roosevelt Administration increases and outright insubordination threa- tens within the lines. But all these code questlonings and even the Senate rejection of the world court seem rather remote and aca- demic in the face of the latest up- heaval-the revolt of Democrat members against the high price of pie ln the House restaurant. The price is 15 cents for a "mere sliver." The insurrectionists demand it 10- cent rate for a generous wedge, the kind that used to obtain in the American home, presumably.--New York Sun.

Only by insulating the United

States against any commerce with the world-either of commodities or ideas-in a manner far more com- plete than tlm world has ever known could America escape the effects of a world war, of which the smallest might be the hostilities on the front line. Never yet, even before the radio and the airplane came, has any nation found lt could live unto itself.-Christian Science Monitor.

Barton township residents on re- lief are forbidden to operate their motor cars, which will doubtless be felt to be a great hardship by those accustomed to taking home the relief groceries in the family automobile.-Hamilton Spectator.

"The Godless Man,” organ of the

atheist in Moscow, has suspended publication, the avowed reason be- ing that the fight against religion has been won and that it no longer is necessary to issue thr: paper. The fact is, however, that circulation figures have taken a steep drop and the probable reason is to be seen in the fact that Russian people again are turning strongly to reli- gion.--Niagara Falls Review.

No one will ever really grow old

in his heart if he will forever keep opening up new doors before hinl.i Surprise is really the spice of life!. The interesting thing about oppor- tunity is that its doors are all un- locked! And there are thousands of them. The reading of a book, the meeting of a friend, the visit of a strange land-these, and a multi- tude of other channels-may open up new doors to ns, through which we may enter and discover know- ledge, beauty, and new viewpoints upon life.

Under the new conditions, with

e\'el'ybody seemingly desperately anxious to be graded and controlled, government has become it vast clear- ing house for all the ills, follies, hopes and ambitions of society. Rightly or wrongly, paternalism is the order of the clay. a form of col- lectivism tllat our forefathers never dreamed of, and with it has come a revolution in the clla.ract,er of gov- ernment, and additions to the task of governmeri. for which govem- mnnt is not equipped.-Ottawa.

Administration leaders will doubt-

less insist that reasons of economy prompt. the slashing of tlle staffs of our embassy and consulates in Russia.

That the efforts of the League of

Decency have not been in vain is evidenced by the announcement in the annual report of Mr. will 1-lays, President of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of Am- erica. The movies are going in for more classic; and less "sex" this year it says, the reason given being that "these appeal- to be what the public wants.” The Hays report cites the great success of pictures like "David Copperfield." "Huggies of Red Gap" and "The Little Minister” as the reason for the trend away from the mom lurid type of pic- ture. “It has been easier to under- estimate than to over-estimate Mein Btreet's intelligentwlpprecia- tion of quality entertainment," Hays slyl.

ANONYMOUS WRITERS

Sir.-The anonymous writer is

coming into prominence. They "are a curse.” So says Premier Maolldil- lan, to which the Patriot adds its fervent. Amen. It is good to see the Premier endorsed, the first bouquet from that source since be became Conservative leader. Yes, Hon. Dr. MacMillan is right, and so ls the Patriot-the anonymous writer, the one who hides behind a barricade to wrong another, whether of a nom-de-guerre or an editor's cloak is "a curse." If not a curse like the barren fig tree for its unfruitfulnem then a curse to the community or persons which it' ravishes. And he who attacks with scandal and false- hood one not in a. position to defend himself, should be denounced as n curse, and the scourge of decency and civilization.

when we have this scourge upor

our hands, what are we to do witl‘ him? I fully agree with the Pai- riot that the anonymous writer should not be “opposed” Some of the finest literature extant is from unknown writers. I further agree that such writers should be ‘kept within certain bounds.” Now hov are we to define these bounds? For my part I would insist upon- absoluzt truth when attacking an opponent. Had the Patriot observed this slmpk little essential, those unpleasan sentences would never have appear- ed. It says "no other paper in

That may be true also, but, because no other paper would- have provoca- tion to do so.

What did our Liberal organ ex-

pect? When it broadcast to the public that the 81,300,000 borrowed from the banks. and due to the pub- llc, by the Lea Govemment, was bor- rowed by the MacMillan Govern- ment, what kind of floral wreaths was lt looking for? It knew there wasn‘t a sclntilla of truth in the statement? With this knowledge did lt expect the Conservative press, ‘or anonymous writers to pat it on the back and pamper it with en- dearing approval? Was it looking for the prize encomiums usually de- corating the Sunday School boy. You dear little truthful lad, you generous observer of the Golden Rule, you modem George Washing- ton so zealously guarding your little hatchet against injury to your neighbor’s cherry tree, you innocent above all innocents, come up higher into the classes of the righteous.

And when it declared, over and

over again, that Hon. Mr.’Bennett promised to build our national high- ways, and take over all the roads of the Province, and maintain them, which it knew to be untruth, was it expecting to be enthroned amongst the gods of purity and proclaimed as chief og the princes of virtue, and a. champion of veracity?

Of course the truth of those an-

onymous writers was unpleasant to its taste. Truth is mighty, but it hits hard upon those who refuse to realize its immortal force. It is ruffltng to the feelings to be called a “falsifier", but much lnore ruffllng when inspired by truth,

And our friend protests agalms

anonymous reference to “partisan skunk bags." But wasn't the libel rather on that poor little innocent four-footed animal? It only dis- charges its bag in self defence, and

innocent. Isn’t thc comparison in the skunks favor? In truth I really think an apology is due to tile skunk.

Japan And The Subject Races

-(Sydney Post Record)

Japanese ambition for conquest if gratified, as it has been to some extent, must lead to responsibility fm- 15,;-go subject populations of other races. Such are the 8195091' part of the 30,000,000 inhabitants of Manchunia. They may be con- quered and disarmed, but they can- not easily be made into Japanese, with the Japanase mentality. The same remark applies to the greater part of the inhabitants of Korea. With further conquests the' _non- Japanese will outnumber the Jw- anese inhabitants of the Empire. This will constitute an Imperial problem of no small difficulty; The energy now displayed by Japan is due largely to the racial solidity of s nation whose people are all imbued with the same fanatical pat- riotism. This can hardly be done with large Chinese populations. Indeed it might be dangerous to convert them int/o fiery millta.ri,9ts, who might _tutrn against their con- querors. They must remain an unassimilated part of the Empire. The altemativc to 'assimilation is

such government as will make the subject races friendly and con- tented.
