The nail Dispute .

Chickens, it is said, have a way of com- ing home to roost. The force of this pro verb must now be uncomfortably apparent to the Government in respect of the ra-l dispute. For, after more than a year of haggling and a ten day strike to punctuate the futility of negotiation under the cer- tainty of Government intervention. the dis- pute has once more landed fairly and squarely in the Government's lap. Such is the inevitable consequence of last September's legislation, which made fl . mockery of free collective bargaining by holding the railways to the 4 cent wage in- crease and providing that any new conces- sions introduced by either party which prove inacceptable to the other must nev- ertheless be recognized by the arbitrator as having closed the gap at the expense of the initiator of such concessions. Little won- der that under the shadow of such a "pen- alty" clause, the discussions subsequent to the strike have come to naught. Having thus grasped the nettle firmly, the only question that now remains is the choice of an arbitrator. The task, who- .. V ever takes the assignment, will be a thank- " . less one. Nevertheless, short of repudiat- ing the parentage of its legislation, the Government must appoint an arbitrator. Since responsibility will attach in any event

' to the Government for the arbitrator's de- cision, it would seem both fitting and de- sirable that the arbitrator be chosen from among members of the cabinet. Of all the portfolios from which to choose, that of the Minister of Justice would offer the most logical choice.

The Voice or Afhilosophor

On United Nations Day, a talk g was -given over BBC by a man whose name will always be associated with the most far- seeing efforts to achieve international un- derstanding and peace. He is Professor Gilbert Murray, O.M., world-famous scholar, poet, dramatist and statesman. As Lead- er. of the League of Nations Union and joint leader of the United Nations As- sociation, he has worked hard for inter- national co-operation and now, at the age of eighty-four, he still has the cause at heart. Only in peace, he believes, is it pos- sible for ”a man to do justly, love mercy, and to walk humbly with his God."

It has been said of Gilbert Murray that he is one of the last great minds and per- sonalities of his generation. Yet he belongs to no one age. At any period of the world's history he would have been a leading scholar, philosopher and statesman. Born in New South Wales, Australia, he was edu- cated in England and became Regius Pro- fessor of Greek at Oxford in 1908. To many thousands all over the world he has brought a love of the Greek Classics through his widely-read translations. He .made English poetry out of Greek drama, and made it a best-seller.

The World Health Organization has ap- pointed a special mission to Korea to as- sist in the administration of health and relief programmes for the civilian popula- tion. - I

Grain in abundance. More wheat moved from Canadian farms in the Week ended September 28 than in any week since Sep- tember, 1939. A grain-trade source said cause of the huge deliveries this year prob- ably is lateness of the 1950 harvest, coupled with a bumper production and shortage of

Premier Jones denies the alarmist re- ports circulated in some mainland news- papers that he fell out with the other conferees -over the continuous communica- tion issue. He says he hardly spoke at the conference, but did insist that the Federal Government should provide con- tinuous transportation between here and the mainland, and that this should be en- trenched in the revised Constitution.

Newfoundland farmers and others, long accustomed to a protected home market, are loath to see it wide open to produce from other Provinces. It will take time to make the necessary adjustments in think- lng as well as practice, but, like Prince Ed- ward lsland, they will discover that the advantages of Confederation must be paid for by giving up some of the particular lo-

cal advantages of autonomy. O O O

We now have Premier Jonesl word for it that he did not "insult farmers" as al- leged at the last annual -session of the Legislature, but only told a small dole- gation of them, who presented the govern- ment with a brief on what they should or should not do, where they got off at. Fhe brief had not been read by a farmer "but by some young fellows looking. to make a name for themselves."

This Province has lost one of its best known business men in the passing of Mr. H. H. Horne. As head of the firm of A. Home and Company (later Home Motors, Ltd.) he was outstandingly successful in converting his company's activities from the carriage to the automobile business, and also in promoting the general use of farm machinery in the Province. Quiet and un- assuming in manner, Mr. Home was a man of firm moral convictions and was active for many years in promoting the cause of temperance. He was in close contact with both our rural and urban citizens, and will be widely missed in the community.

Lord Palmerston, British statesman, died this date 1865. He was a leading Tory, but deserted it on its foreign policy, joined the Whigs and became Prime Min- ister. He actively assisted in establishing the Belgian Kingdom, and supported the popular claimants, Donna Marina in Portu- gal, and Isabella in Spain. His ministry was unpopular and was defeated in 1841, but he became Foreign Secretarygunder Lord John Russell, 1846-51. A vote of censure was passed on him in 1850 by the "Hood of Lords, but the House of Commons fail- ed to endorse it: Later he was dismissed from office by the Queen in 1851 for un- authorised action with, i-egsrdto France.

5&VJ DECLINING LIVESTOCK PRICES

Sir. - Press reports that meat prices are declining will be well ccme news in every urban house- hold, where hitherto the cheaper cuts from either end of the animal. or the props that held it in uprigh: position before slaughter, were the only indications of unlmal product nourishment that ever found access to the average humble table. But what of the farmer who produced these animals, at terrific cost dur- ing the past. five to ten month feeding period. whege does he "fit in" and where will he "get off at" if such expressions will convey what is meant? With hls cash crop -potatoes and turnips-prices upon which he depended for the liquidation of his usual seasonal ac- cuminatlon of liabilities, a. complete washout, it. looks like listing below the belt. and he can ll afford. to have his livestock returns slashed as he places them on the market There is room for, and he is just- ified in asking for an explanation

In the Federation of Agriculture weekly budget of news items and opinions of last week, explanations were attempted with respect to the decline in hog prices. which appear to be contradictory of each other and contrary to information given out on the some day by the Do- minion Bureau of statistics. Quot- ing the Federation, it says, "The large vclume offered at this time of the year imposes 3 strain on packing house storage accommoda- tion and lessens the competition be- tween pscklng houses for the prod- uct". Then again: "During the slack season the domestic market abscrbed all the production at .1 price for above what. the British contract would justify" 930-

Now to quote the Bureau of stu- tistics, it says: "Meat stocks he.d in Canada fell by almost two mil- lion pounds in September. Meat held by ackei-s, abuttolrs, whole- sale butc ers. and cold stcraize w ehoiiiies at October 1st. amount- ed to 4'1.:m.ooo pounds compared with 49,106,030 pounds at. septa!"- ber lst. and 51,124,000 on October 1st. of last year". "That is, meats in storage dropped 1.754.000 POIM9 in september. 1950, and 3.772.000 pounds since Octcber lat. last year." with this drop in quantities of meat held in storage during the past year. and the domestic mar- ket absorbed all meat. production during the slack season, how could packing house storage accommoda- tfcn be under such a "strain" this year as to eliminate packing house competition in buying and lndmc sharp declines in hog prices?

Now 3 word as to the remedy suggested by the Federation. It says: "A more uniform rate of production throughout the who's year would tend to level our prices and make for more stable condi- tlons". That idea is neither -.ncN nor original. A quarter of a century” or so ago the Federal Department of Agriculture featured this idea as is progressive inovatlon in the has industry and department officials in cooperation with accommodat- ing producers did succeed to an ex- tent in brlnging,t.i'ieli- objectives in- to practical operation, But there were cbstacleg and limitations en- countered that offer opportunity for consideration and dlscu?on perhops on some other occls on Production fcr sole of hogs in thii Province in larger volume between the usual spring and fell marketing seasons, when there is generally ii scarcity of supply. would no doubt be profitable but it is not the sol- utlon to failure of packing hcussl oompeoluon so any time. in the purchasing of fiu'mcrs' hogs and its consequent lowering pf prices.

House of Assembly, Wednesday, March 28. 1865:

Mr. Clark stated that s. very great increase had taken place in the importation of liquors, and particularly in the article called White-eye. It. was certainly in pots- on, and all other liquors might come under the same head.

Hon. Mr. Coles said grain was higher last year than usual, and yet the House increased the duty on home-manufactured spirits. The Legislature should protect home-manufacture to the utmost of their power, and members should take into consideration the cheap- ness in which White-eye could be manufactured. He had manufactur- ed a. larger quantity of liquor last year than the year before. but if it was made entirely from grain it would not pay. As to some remarks from Mr. Clark, he was a fool on the temperance question. Publlcans generally keep White-eye, and if a traveller calls for liquor, as it. costs the least. they will always sell it. Few persons will pay I price for liquor made from grain. We should

manufactured liquors.

Mr. Lord, noted that the Colonial secretal-y,,by his own showing, had made more liquor in spite of the increased duty of Just year. He would vote for increasing the duty on imported liquor to 5:. per gallon; he did not think it. would increase smussllns. Some people would smuggle. if there was not above Gd. duty: it was constitutional in some people. y

Mr. Longworth could not vote for an increased duty on imported liq- uor. He knew, however, that through the influence of the Colonial sec- retary the duty on home-manu- factured spirits had been kept as low as it is; he thought that dis. tillers had u very good protection in 2s. per gallon.

Mr Clark said there was 5 great difference between encioiui-aging home-manufactures that were useful, and those that were of no use. but highly detrimental to the interests of the community, such as the manufacture of spirits. The distlliers on this Island never made the price of grain higher; it was the market for it in other places. He would vote for as high a duty on White-eye as on brandy.

Mr. Cole: believed that the Am'- erican dlstlllei-s sold, with their lillllors. ingredients to convert them into brandy, etc., but he was assured that increasing the duty would increase smuggling.

A resolution passed putting n dull? Of 33- per gallon on wine. also on spirits made from moles. 95. and 6d. on spirits made from grain. etc. '
