WOMENS’ INSTITUTES

~

Province. This arm of the govern- ment has done excellent work in the past and we have the faith to be- lieve that most effective work still lies before it. An excellent pros- ramme has been arranged for their thfgg days‘ functions in the city, which provides not only for the ac- tual business of the convention but for some entertainment as well.

The Guardian extends a cordial

welcome to the delegates and trust-s that the usual success and the for-

CCORDING to statistics recently lgsued by the Government Bu- rcau of Statistics, the lldlllliei-iil" °f Canada has increased by 139-009- The same statistics show that with the exception of Prince Edward Island the population has increased in every Province, that of Prince Edward Island has fallen by ebmlt three hundred. This is but an esti- mate and is probably approximate- ly correct. To the decrease of three hundred in Prince Edward may h? added at least my her wil- Of ti" four hundred young men who left the other day for Western (Mnadfl to take part in the harvesting oper- ations. Figuring on former experi- ences it is comparatively safe to as- sume that two hundred of these may return, the other two hundred to join the increasing population 0f Western Canada and probably when the harvest is over to slide across the line to the United States. The falling population is Prince Edward Island's.problem. How it is to be met and overcome it may be difficult to figure out at present. The only room for increased DOD- ulation in this Province is on the land. This way lies the solution and its difficulties have already been pointed out. We have been subsi- dizing industries and undertakings throughout Canada. Efforts have been made to establish returned sol- . diers and even immigrants. but so far no effort has been made to sub- sidize our native sons who turn to the land. They are permitted to seek employment in other provinces and in other countries. The young man accustomed to farming and in a position to carry on in that call- ing, for whom the paternal estate cannot afford a farln of his own. must go elsewhere to seek a living. If the provisions extended to men whose only qualification in farming is their desire to own a farm. were extended to young men who have been brought up as farmers. the situation might be very different. There are hundreds of young men in this Province, sons of farmers and well qualified to carry on farm- ing on their own account who would unquesti uiubly make 300d if Bil/eh an opportunity by means of subsidy or otherwise. This is a phase of the question which has not been taken up, but which we submit is worth considering. We have abundance of land now lying idle which could be brought into profitable productive- pess if the proper methods were pursued. The question. we admit, is a very difficult one. but one that must be born in mind. It is simply

Hon. R. B. Bennett, both in the other provinces and in our own. He has given them hard nuts to crack and instead of trying to crack them they are evading them.

The steel and coal industry of Nova Scotla, which some years ago gave employ- mcnt to thousands of men, and pro- vided a home market for the sister Maritime Provinces, is now working part time and with a continually decreasing employment.

The fact of the matter is Mr. McIntyre either does not grasp the significance of elementary arith- metic, or is utterly reckless in his statements.

These reflections on the census of 1861 are rather severe, as had since‘ been proven. The fault on the con’- trary was clue to deficient knowledge on the part of the enumerators of how to perform the tasks they un- dertook to perform. At that time they lacked education and owed their appointments to party poli- tics. This. we presume. is how the "Great Evil" was caused by a weak spot that still exists.
