CIRCULATION "Coven Prince Edward Island like the devf' ("The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink". The Economic and Social Council of the United Nations has in the past been con- tinually urged to recognize the importance: of action to stabilize prices at reasonable levels. At its meetings last month, how- ever, the proposal was at least hinted at by the assistant director, Mr. F. L. Mc- Dougall, that the FAO Council should con- sider the question of price incentives to increase production. The reason for this.changing view, of course, is the worsening food supply situa- tion in the world. Since the immediate pre- war period the world's population has in- creased by 12 to 14 per cent, while food production has increased only 7 or 8 per cent. As far back as 1937 the League of Nations reported that half the world's pop- ulation suffered from malnutrition and since then, inequalities in food supplies. which were great before the war, have be- come even greater. It might as well be recognized that the day of cheap food is past. Technical as- sistance to primitive farmers and more ef- ficient methods of distribution are helpful but the fact remains that to increase agri- cultural production to the extent which is i needed requires the prospect of prices to the farmer which will compensate him f0l' the additional effort required. Wealth On The Seashore Seaweed, long regarded in the Atlantic provinces as mere fertilizer, says the Fred- ericton Gleaner, now is being investigated by the new Maritime Regional Laboratory in Halifax for commercial and industrial possibilities. Seaweed extracts have been found to possess qualities useful in many industries, year, the Sehators declared: "Your Com- mittee believes that there needs to be a new approach everywhere to the business of public spending. The increasing tendency of people to demand that the government do something about all' kinds of problems which the community or the individual should solve for itself or himself is, we be- lieve, accountable for much mounting public expenditure and, if not checked, bids fair to undermine our present system of gov- ernment." In examining combined revenues and expenditures of all governments in Canada. the Committee, in the absence of complete data for the current year, but basing their calculations on records of previous years. "thinks it is a fair assumption that for this present year all governments combined will take from the Canadian taxpayers in ex- cess of six billion dollars" and "will spend somewhat short of that amount.” In the Federal field the need for in- creased revenue and, as a result, increased taxation, arises mainly from rapidly ex- panding defence expenditures, which this year will be over two billion dollars, and expanding welfare costs which for the sanle period, including soldiers' pensions and al- lowances, at all levels of government, will be at least one and a half billions of dol- lars, of which more than two-thirds is for Federal account. Of this latter amount two items, old age pensions with pensions for the blind, and family allowances, will require over 3l675 millions. . I in reviewing Government expenditures for all purposes, the Committee warns of the danger that faces our whole economy and system of government unless the brakes are applied properly and the taxpayers be- colne more conscious of needless govern- ment expenditure.

Several countries, especially Japan, China, Norway, Scotland, the United States, have built sizable indus- tries through the abundant seaweed on their shores. This research now going on in Halifax might well prove profitable to the seaside provinces. As one expert observed, "there is no reason why the Maritimes could not do as well as Scotland in this industry if our investigations bring favorable results." The laboratory is focussing its research on rockweed, the most prolific of the sea- weed family, and especially plentiful in these provinces. Science has discovered that this plant is an energetic producer of , A substance known as alginic acid. K This acid has a use in the preparation of food products and also can he used in inks, adhesives, boiler compounds. deterg- ents and cleaning compounds. : Senate Warning sounded An important report which received less attention than it deselyed when sub- mitted just before the adjournment of Par- liament, was that of the Senate Finance Committee. This committee was au hor- ized to examine the expenditures proposed by the estimates laid 'down for the year ending March 31, 1952, and it went into the matter very fully and frankly. The examination included a study of the re- cords of revenues from taxation collected by the Federal, Provincial and Municipal governments in Canada and the incidence of this taxation in its effect upon different income groups, together with records of ex- penditures by such governments, and est- imates of gross national production, net na- tional income and movement of the cost- of-living index. Among other things it was noted that "the total money required for travel and removal gexpenses for all government pur- is well over M6 million, of which just about T14 million is for purely civilian needs. . ." The Committee "feels certain that this amount of 546 millions could be a sharply reduced without injury to the pub- lic interest." As another example of club- orate spending, the Committee discovered that 518 millions is provided for office sta- Llonery, supplies, equipment and furnish- ings. "Of this more than 512 millions is for purglyzclvilian purposes. "Surely All this could be much reduced without hurt to ef- rcviewlng a number of other items: - the llarlnlng rate of from 95,270 in 1950 to 72,079 last year. The explanation seems to be that Canadians in order to cope with higher costs and ris- ing interest rates. 0 O 0 Captain Sir Robert Stirlillg-Hamilton, tawa, is in command of H. M. S. Swiftsure.

He studied painting at the Hague, Antwerp and Paris, where he be- came acquainted with the impressionists. He had A wide and splendidly original scope and was a daring colourist. At the asylum where he spent his later years his work was as great as ever. This country has always maintained that it lies on the most direct route from the United Kingdom to the Far East and Aus- tralia. Now a correspondent in the Times Review of Industry this month thinks that one of the world-girdling routes will be westward from London through Gander, Montreal, Edmonton to the North-west Canadian coast, across to the Aleutian Is- lands, and then linking up with existing B. O. A. C. routes at Tokyo. If the Hong Kong airport proves inadequate for such airliners, they would return through,Man- lia, Bangkok, Calcutta, Karachi, Beirut (or Cairo) and Rome to London. 0 O I Saskatchewan's Proceedings against the Crown Act was proclaimed to take effect July 15, according to a recent statement by Attorney-General J.

The Arctic Circle crosses Fin- land-Suomi, in the Finnish lang- uage. Slightly larger than New Mexico, the land lies in northern Europe between Sweden and Rus- sia. Lacking fertile soil nndlmin- erals, Finland counts only timber, water power and the character of her citizens as her major resour- cea. Historically, Finland as fl coun- try never enjoyed independence until 1918, when she broke away from Soviet Russia. The Commun- ist regime inherited her from the Czars, who had controlled Finland since 1809. Before the 12th cen- tury, Finns governed themselvesin independe t tribes. Then Sweden conquered the land, which thereafter became a battleground in struggles between the Sweden and the Russians. In world War 11. despite heroic re- sistance, Finlpnd was twice ever- run by tho Soviets. Between de- feats, she was ravaged by the Nnzis,wtt.h whom she had perforce allied herself. .
