THE PUBIJIO "AV JUDGE I _.e__. Our statement yesterday to the “effect that the ‘Bsllgovornment never had ssurplue“ but that on thc- contrary there ,hsd been yssr- ly deficits and s huge'_iocrcsse in the provincial debt, has been ques-

' tloned and su excerpt from s finan-

:1al report issued from the office of-the iPi-ovlnclsl Treasurer, dated

October 1o, 102a,!» quotes as show-l

lng that during the past three years the provincial debt hsd been reduced by $100,000.

Whst are the foetal The Stewart Government came into office on September 9, 1923. For reasons ‘which have been mentioned prev; lously and of which the less said the better. the Stewart Govern- ment, to save the credit of the pro- vlnce, found it necessary to issue bonds for $150,000. Any tomcat so to the-finances of the province their pvsllpble were the accounts of the iBell Government.

As to their correctnets or incor- rectuess the public may judge from the following extract from the re- port of the External Auditor, Mr. Paul Blsuchstt, issued ‘on Octob- .er 15, 1923 sod supplementary ~re- port, March 13, 1924 page 23:

"The not debt of the province at December 31st. 1922 as per report of External Auditor, deducting re- venue assets, was $1,854,856.32 The net debt Dec. a1. 192a '

was 1,575,154.50

. . $220,298.18"

There are other particulars men- tioned in this External Auditor's report which are open to all au- Lqulrers and‘ which it. is not now

PERMANENT PEACE?

In every civilized country in the world good men sud women are working sud praying "for interna- tional pesce. thst peace which ls the goal of the polltlcsl economists as well as of the Christian, that peace which shell signsllso the ful- filment of the mophecy that "Na- tion shall not lift up sword against. nation neither shell they lesrn wsr sny more."

Through six thousand years of known history, from the present highest pesk _ of civilisation we trace the bloodstsined foot prints of wsr through the centuries until theymre dimmed is the twilight of semi-bsrbarlsm and lost in the, to us, dark ages of primitive ssvsgery. Six ifoussnd years of international, inter-tribal, inter-rac- ial slaughter with intervals, per- hsps lengthening intervals, of peace and never-ending prepared- ness for war!

NOTES BY THE WAY, l

"Every one knows that the pro- duction of eggs shows a big in- crease In the spring and early sum‘- mer," says the King government organ in this city. And in the ‘some article we read thsit “lt was clearly shown (by Messrs Spill!" 5nd, Hughes) that the BXDOIt OI eggs from the United States into iCsnsds takes place in the winter 'mouths." This argument was knocked flat when a few dsys ego -thres carloads ofeggs came into Illsllfsx from the States. Thesb eggs did not come in thevwlnter, but lu the spring, just at tho time when according to the statement shove quoted the production here always "shows a big increase!’ lf three car-losds reached a poluLso ‘distant from the international bor- der as Halifax how msuy hundreds of csr losds may have come into the whole of Canada between the , Atlantic and the, Psclflo in April and May when Canadian produc- tion ls in full ‘blast?

And if the price ot eggs ioli all along the border line of 3,000 miles as It did here, if perhaps the consumers got. some benefit, but the farmers suffered s heavy lossl The main products of Canadian farms are foodstuffs. The formers’ home market is their best market which ls beingllnvaded by their ri- vsis from across the border._ Our representatives at Ottawa. in arg- uing thst present conditions of trsds between Canadian and Ameri- can farmers are fair conditions and that our farmers nesdino protec- tlop have not, in our opinion afglog to stand upon. The facts srefsll against them.

We have here in Prince Edward Island a small community of which B0 per cont -is made up of farmers and their famillcs- The city ﬁnd" towns people of the Province were also! largely born on the fahpfpnd our mercantile and profeisiipnsl cslllngs also subsist upon the pro- ducts of the farms. If our farm- ers prOSDBP the towns prosper with them and vice verse. Unfortun- stely the prices of form products fell sfter the war sooner than the prices of things that the farmers has to buy, and this has hit our farmers hard. In good times and with better prices they could bet- ter stand competition in their home market than they can now. Across the border there ls s greet surplus of {form products which cannot be sold in Europe as it could before the wer. impover- ished Europe cannot psy for it This surplus is now being dumped into Canada ‘and sold for what it. will fetch.

» We believe iit true that the farm- ers oi‘ Canada never before need- ed [ll ‘notion as they need it NOW. becsuse of the conditions existing as stated above. And the men elec- tsd to guard their interests at 0t- tsws sre telling them that they need no protection! In taking that attitude these gentlemen are playing the part of better friends to ths_ farmers on the other side of the border than to the‘ farmers who elected them. They are lssving the American farmer the exclusive use of his own market and glvliﬁ himeeey access to the Csnsdlau farmers’ home market es well. This is no question of reciprocity. That is s more debatable question. It would be equal rlglktzcin both mer- kets, but even recipr lty has been repeatedly refused to Causde by our uelghbo e and repeatedly rs- lected by very large majorities of ho Canadian people.

OUR EMIGRATIONPROBLEM "Sin-Some of our leaders are ‘be-

ginning to realise the seriousness

of the emigration problem lu this

Province and I om pleased to note

that. several articles have appear-

ed lu your paper lately on the sub‘- ject. There are two factors which to my mind, are _the blgressons why our people are leaving us and l cannot recall that either one of them has ever been mentioned as such. For this reason I am going to draw your attention to them. Have ou noticed that‘ our emi- gration began when we commenc- ed tc send our money to mail-order houses of business sud has increas- ed in proportion as our mall order business has increased? 1 believe if we could find out the actual sm- ount of money sent from this ls- lsnd every day that we would get

a big surprise. iIt seems to mo that

s safe estimate would be five thou.

sand dollsrs s day. On the other

hand :1 think we can ssy that the rate of emigrstio from our Pro- vince in the p st twenty years would average 5 persons every day l have heard some rellsble people any that ten thousand went 8W8!’ lust year. I know that over four- teen hundred went from one con- gregation lu Charlottetown. ls it not reasonable to suppose that they follow the money we are sen- ding swsy? Our people do not real. lzs that their nearest post office tskes lb daily (excﬂwt iSuuidsy) one to' four hundred dollars for postal notes and money orders and I'm sure that they never stop to think that the money so sent sway would establish several thriving bu- sinesses in their commuultywhlch would more than repay them for the few dollars they think they save on esch order. ’

The second cause of our emigra-

tion problem ls somewhat allied

to the first. You may have noticed - that many of our wealthier people take a trip to the States once or

ure, but in reality it is s combined business and pleasure trip because when they return they are “tog- ged out in the latest." Also many of our girls, engaged to be mer- rled go to Boston or New York for their wedding outfit. ifn both cases

your, and leave ii. in s. foreign

turns.

‘My contention is thst lt is not. the lack of entertainment-mov- ies, dance halls, etc.—— which mak- es people dissatisfied with P. E. island but as long as We continue to send sway our money just so long will our people continue to" lcuve us. ‘What do you think’!

I am, Sir, etc, SPUD ISLANDER

\ sentatlwes. Our representatives by their action in supporting the Robb tariff arc using their efforts to lower the price of the products of every farm in Prince Edward island. By their speeches in‘ Pal llsmsni. they are encouraging the importation of American machines. tools, implements and fertilisers in the making of which foreign la- bor ls employed and ‘paid, every item of which displaces something wh'ch was tlil now made by Cana- dian lsbor and paid for in wages spent in Canada. By this action- Canadisn factories are being closed and Canadian work people are be- tng driven out of tbe'country by thousands-

count of uie Robb tariff. Without lt the prices of these things would be reduced as the wsr recedes in- to tho distance, so hss always bap- Delred before.
