Fatal Recklessness \Vith all the protectioti at railway crossings and with the constant warnings of the Board of Transport Commissioners, it seems incredible that so many fatalities should continue to be recorded. N‘ o less than 68 accidents occurred, and 43 people were killed, at protected crossings in i940, and 9o more people were killed at level crossings not pro- tecied. It is hard to believe that 35 motor vehicles ran _"The Strongest Memory is Weaker than the Weakest Ink." FRIDAY. hIARCll 21. 1941.

A correspondent in the .\'ew lt-rk Titties points otit that by estab- lishing ii;1\;1l bit-cs lll Newfoundland the United States is alrently committed to defense of British Xorth .\11icric.1, and claiiiis that this "cannot be done effectively by ttiaintaiiiing a bottleneck in one of our greatest rivers, blocking the way to the greatest itilzind lake systctn in the world.” Completion of the project ivould likely benefit Ontario ports at the expense of Montreal and Quebec. 111 witttcr, of course, when the 5t. Lawrence is frozen, traffic would continue to cotiie to Maritime ports. The only justification for Canada's participa- tion lll the project at this time, whatever its fu- titre rcsttlts ntight be, is the bearing it has 011 our \\"11r effort and that of our American neighbors. This is the point which Mr. King 1S expected to dctil with iii his statement today. Contribution By Dominions In its current Bulletin of International News, the Royal institute of international Affairs, Lhatliztnt llotise, London, offers this striking CtllllllllflsOll of thc ratio of war expenditures to national income: Ratio of \\'ar Expenditure (excluding bor- rowing from abroad) to National 1111:0111: (per cent) 1938-9 1930-40 1940-41 uahrolla — — ~ — —— 2.4 7.0 16 New‘ aland————-— Total Dominions — — - Unltied Kingdom - — - Tlie conclusion reached by the editors is equally striking: "The Domirtiorts’ total war eflort is already im- pressive. In the current financial year, their total war expenditure exclusive of borrowing from Lireat Britain will amount to £410 to £420 million tsterling). which is more than the armament expenditure of the United Kingdom in 1938-39, and some t2 per cent. of current United kingdom war expenditure. In the near future it may bring the Empire's war-material production a decided superiority, which will require only the rapidly increasing flow of United States assist- ance to make overwhelming." Initiative Needed ‘Throughout those districts of Nova scotis where a tine tradition of shipbuilding exists, says the Halifax Chronicle, there it s surging demand for more of such activity as part of the vvar ef- fort. lt calls attention to a recent news item, telling of the arrival in a llalifax freight yard- “a freight yard l"—of a hospital boat built for the Royal Catizidian Air Force. The craft arrived by rail from Trenton, Ont. It is the first of a group to be built in Otittirio for the same purpose. “The boat," says the Chronicle, "will feel salt water under her at llalifax when she is tested for seawortltiiiess attd her engines are given a run. ,To Nova Scotiaiis there is something indescribably vexing about such news. The idea of bringing seagoiiig craft from Ontario by flat-car seems fantastic. Small wonder that there is a surging demand for more boatbuilding and shipbuilding in this Province. There may conceivably be certain types of craft which can be built more advantage- ously by specialized plants. But Nova Scotian builders know of many useful sorts of craft they could well build in our own yards. And such ves- sels slide down the ways into salt water. There is no railliaul. Capital assistance, such as other industries enjoy, would help to set in motion a great pfftgfillll of useful building . . . A sane choice of dunestic materials, too, would do much to put the task of providing ships and boats on a practical basis." Hon. Mr. llo\1'e has since stated in the House of Cutiirnotis that the Government will “move heaven and earth" to provide all possible facilities for boatbuilding and repairing in the Atlantic Provinces this year. 'l‘hat assurance should hold out some promise of activity in Prince Edward Island as well as Nova Scotia and New Bruns- , wick.

Four more accidents of this kind occurred last year than in i939, and four more people were killed. There were b0 accidents of the same kind at night in which i1 lives were lost. More motor vehicles ran into the sides of trains in Ontario than in all‘ the rest of the country. At crossings protected by gates, I0 vehicles stitashed through, and four people were killed. At crossings protected by bell and wigwag signal, 46, accidents with 34 fatalities were recorded. The presence of ivatchmen did not prevent four cross- ing accidents and the loss of two lives. lit addition to those who were killed at the level crossings, 485 people were injured.

A labour deputation journeyed to Ottawa and entered a protest, and the Rev. H. S. Cobb, United Church pastor of ’l‘illsonburg, Ont, in a submission to the legisla- tive committee of the Ontario Temperance Feder- ation, declared the present is not the time to divide our people on so controversial a matter as prohibi- tion". This, he said, is one of two matters “which should be brought to the mind of the pub- lic in respect to the strategy of the Ontario tem- Federation.” “. . . This is not the time to divide our people on so controversial a matter, which necessitates both drastic legislation and vital means of time, energy and money. Many men who are influen- tial in their home communities are away serving in in the forces of the Dominion. “To divide our people and to make unnecessary expenditures of any kind is most deplorable when unity and wise sacrifice must be oure to win this war. This is our immediate task-other lesser matters must wait." The second matter is that "the clamor of this group for prohibition of any duration comes from only a section of the Protestant churches of the province.
