Newfoundland Trade

It is clear from statements made in the lfgisiature by speakers on both sides thati this lslandls trade with Newfoundland isl deteriorating. Thus far in the session there has been no official explanation for . this regrettable state of affairs; but doubt- 195? We Will be forthcoming in due course. It is no secret, however. that for some time past there has been dissatisfaction in New- foundlcnd business circles-eand, no doubt. in government circles as well-over the'

mercial relationship between the two prov-I inces. Perhaps, in the old days, this was unavoidable, since there was not miich that gwe needed that Newfoundland was in A position to supply.

Conditions have changed considerably in recent years. New industries in various times of merchandise have sprung up in Newfoundland; and it is reasonable to sup- pose that two-way business on a fairly equitable basis is now more practicable, This, of course, is if matter for Govern- ment investigation on A thorough scale, an investigation that already may be in pro- cess. for all we know. In any event, re- gardless of any other difficulty that'may be in the way, or of any advantage that this Province may seem to possess, there can be no perinanently satisfactory busi- ness relations which are not based on re- ciprocity, in so far as that is possible.

It would be a mistake, and A serious one. to count on Newfoundland as A ”nat- ural" market for our produce. Whatever validity that assumption may have had in the past, it has very little now, and it will have none at all. in the future. It will not be long before heavily laden trucks will be able to go from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, by way of the new North Sydney to Port Aux Basques ferry, to the more populous centres of the new Prov- ince without difficulty; and we may be sure that both of these producing Prov- inces already are competing for the lucra- tive trade with every means at their com- mand. Since this Province was lucky enough to get in on the "ground floor". so to speak, there would appear to be good, reasons why we should continue our tradei with Newfoundland. and even expand iii considerably. This will not be done by' wishful thinking, however, nor by holding i on to baseless assumptions, but only by thoughtful consideration of the important matter from all armies, to be followed by sound business planning, in which the ex- port needs of Newfoundland, as well as our own, will be given a prominent place.

Federal Health Grants

lAccording to figures presented in the House of Commons by the Parliamentary Assistant to Health Minister Martin, since the Federal health grants first came into effect in 1948 the Provinces generally have received little more than half the amount Allocated by Parliament for this purpose- The grand total of allocations to March 31. 1955, was &241 million: the grand total of payments to February 1, 1955, was 35141 million. On February 1, with just two more months of the 1954-55 fiscal year to go, the Provinces had received only 518.2 million of the 348.4 million set aside for them. "What is the reason for this?" asks the Globe And Mail, in an editorial in which -it goes on to answer its own ques- don: "Ah the ten Provinces so wealthy, are their health needs so well supplied, , thgtttiey can afford to turn down millions 'ol dollars every year? Not at all. . Ottawa's health grants is ggf they Are conditional; they have long Jtrlngs Attached. For one are generally of A matching Kilt is. the Province getting A .

lthe money on the facilities they need most.

3Under such circumstances, they would un-

lquestionably take full advantage of the 3548-3 million allocated for health grants in the 1955-6 estimates. And Ottawa could take full credit for it."

Ulcers And Longevity

Ulcers. caught in time, do not neces- sarily lepresent any unusual longevity, reports the Institute of Life In- surance. This is indicated in A study of fifteen years mortality experience among 725,000 life insurance policyholders with some known health impairment.

Of about

of ulcers, 96 per cent of them men, those ,who had been medically treated, without .an operation "and without having had a hemorrhage, were found to have had a relatively favorable mortality experience during the fifteen years covered. On the other hand, those with a history of sur- gically treated ulcers had -higher than average mortality experience, . . , ' gdespite advances in surgical technique. Also, .pparem ongslded Chdlactel of the Com-ithose unoperated. but with a history of 'hemorrhage, appeared to

It was found that three-fourths of the ,total ulcer cases were duodenal, the bal- ance being gastric. history of gallbladder disorders enced a slightly higher than average mor- tality from heart disease, which is in line with clinical observations pointing to some association between gallbladder disorders

In the Legislature yesterday l-Ion. Mr. Clark, Minister of Education, referred to

-note in The Guardian on A

statement he had made in the Draft Ad- dress debate, dealing with "antique" text- books. His statement, he explained, had been that "there may be room in the home for antique furniture but there is no place in the school of today books." The phrase "in the school of today" had been omitted from the newspaper re- port on which the editorial note was based. His meaning, Mr- Clark explained, was that outdated books should not be on the school curriculum. We regret having lnAdvertent- H ly mlsquoted the Minister; but the word "antique" as applied to textbooks in itself somewhat Ambiguous. "Outdat better, AA clarifying what the Minister had in mlnd.'

ground examination of thc area. i It is an egg-shaped belt of clay .exlending north of Lake Manilnba and bisected by the Hudson Bay Railroad.

NEED FERTILIZERS

Mr. Barr said the soil. its tax- ture predominantly clay, is low in organic matter and would rcquire the use of commercial fertilizers to achieve the best delzree of pro- ductlviiy.

The clay belt was left by the receding Lake Agassiz. gigantic glacial lake that covered central Manitoba during the ice age.

The soil cxpcrts discovered some clay deposits that reached A thick- ness of from 25 to 30 feet and in certain areas silty sediments 50 feet thick.

"it would appear that the well- drained soils would be the most suitable for development," said Mr. Barr.

Weather will be the most impor- tant factor in the project. North- ern Manltoba climate is affected by Hudson bay to the east. The crop-killing frosts Are A hazard. The growing season lasts only from June to August.
