Highway Safety Campaign

Attention is called to the advertisement in

today's issue featuring important sections of thei Highway Traffic Act. This is being published in i C“;

connection with the traffic safety campaign now under way. The need for such a campaign is obvious, and the Provincial Government is to be commended on taking this means of emphasizing the serious obligations which car drivers assume when they obtain a license.

His Honour Lieutenant Governor Bernard has also made a strong appeal for stricter en- forcement of highway lraffic regulations, point- ing out particularly the danger from drunken driving, as wcll as from the fact that many cars are of pro-u/ar manufacture and for that reason should be thoroughly and frequently checked if accidents are to be avoided. His Honour's en- rir: address, vwhich app-cared in Monday's Guardian, is worthy of close attention by all per- sons using ourhighways-pedestrians as well as motorists.

The Freight Rate Hearings

It is significant that in press comment on the freight rate hearings, most of the support for the railways comes from C-cntral Canada which, as the Halifax Chronic/e points out, has for years enjoyed preferential treatment and which, because of the relatively short hauls in that area, would feel any increase far less than the provinces on the extremities of th-e country.

In particular, the Chronicle takes issue with the contention that the only fundamental point is "whether the railways can go on with the cx- isting setup," and that regional problems should be deferred until this point is settled. It says in this connection:

"From a Maritime point of view such argu- ments are erroneous and dangerous. Moritimcrs in tlre first place, are not prepared to accept railway figures and prognosticotions as infallible. Good Manitobon opinion seems to think the rail- ways havc presented quite the wrong picture of futures. Nor are we satisfied down here that Canadian railways must necessarily be consider- ed primarily as purely business and money-mak- ing concerns. They are public utilities with a political background which cannot be ignored.

"Nor would any Maritimer consent to any settlement so entirely on the side of the rail- ways that it established them an a profitable basis at the expense of existing Maritime trade. Freight-rates and tariffs, too, that suit Canada have never suited us, and we are prepared to piit up quite a struggle to defend ourselves from yet further subordination to Central Canadian inter- ests and policies.

"From the Maritime point of vicw, to settle the freight-rote question on a basis of profit and loss as estimated by the companies, leaving reg- ional and provincial questions of discrimination to be dealt with at some new conference to be called in the dim and indzterminate future, would be sheer folly. Once freight-rates have been settled anew, they are likely to remain in force indefinitely. If the- Maritimes ever agree to post- poning their righteous claims ta consideration until some time after the railways have got their way in the matter of rates, that time, we know only too well from past experience, will never come. Now is the time for us to resist, and though the subject may tire us almost beyond Qndurqnpe, we must make our resistance strong and determined."

—B—rltain And India

In some quarters beli-ef exists that grant of independence to lndia is a British thought of our day, stemming from the policy of a Labor Government. The truth, notes an exchange, is that Indian independence has been a British goal for more than a century._ Advance toward it came with the MorIey-Minto scheme (under a Liberal Government), with the Montagu-CheIms- ford scheme (under a Coalition Government), with the Simon Commission's report (under a Conservative Government), the Round-Table Con- ference (under o National Government), with the Act of I935 (under a Conservative Government) and with the Cripps plan (under a Coalition Gov- ernment). Thus all British parties and Govern- ments, speaking the will of the British people, have beam-and are-for India's freedom. It is the British tradition-something in their blood and bones.

Ilaiiarlirs Sugar-BIN

Close to $28,000,000 in U. S. currency will be paid out by Canada in I947 for raw sugar im- ported from the U. S. dollar countries of Cuba and Sari Domingo. This does not include freight costs, some of which may be paid in U. S. dollars.

This new high, in the period since sugar controls were. initiated in I940, is brought about lly two developments. Lost month Canada's allo- cation from time two countries. was increased

In connection with the visit of Chief Flora Ma-:Leod to Canada, Mrs. Ida Dixon MocLcod, Wirnipeg, now visiting on the Island, states that her son Melvin, IZth Manitoba Dragoons, while on furlough during the war visited the holne of his ancestors in Skye, and had supper with Chief Flora in historic Dunvegan Castle.

By a peculiar coincidence, the first con- IIIIQQIII’! of the 2nd and 3rd Canadian Infantry Divisions arrived overseas in World War II on the some day, but a your apart. On August I, 19110, the 2nd Canadian Division arrived safe rim.- sound at c British port and a year later, to the day, men of the 3rd Div. strode down the gangplank to join the ranks of Canada's rapidly expanding army in Britain. Of the two divisions, the 2nd Div. was the first to bloody itself in act- ion. To it fell the task of caryylng out the eprch making raid on Dieppe, August I9, 1942, which was largely a Canadian operation. To the 3rd Division went the glory of being tho first Canadian formation to hit the Normandy baccliliearl when D-Day dawned June 6, I944. lfhe Division-thunder command cf General _li. F. L.
