Air Training Cenlrﬂ

Attention has been called in these columns on leveral occasions to_the importance of the fed- cral air training scheme in connection with the new Charlottetown airport. Surveys have been madg all over Canada with a view to establish- Eng such centres for military‘ Pllrlloscs- The tiuardian strongly iudorsed‘ the proposal, moot- ed at a recent City Council meeting, that the new airport be offered to the Federal Govern- ment free of charge for the duration of the ivar. Iri accordance ivitli this suggestion blapvolilihf‘ tcr has written to the Department of Transpoit. and has received a replv stating that the 01ft" ha; been conveyed to the Department of De- fense. , , .

(m,- local QfilllelllpOflfy ~ now ]0ll15 us in pressing the advantage of this proposal, and the importance of the Provincial capital as an air- training centre. .-\s we entphasized before. this is a matter in which the civlC 311111011165 ha” a right to expect fullest eta-operation, not only from the press but from otir _pi'oviiicial and federal 1'Cl)l't‘SClltllll\'€S as well_ Lnity of effOTI is essential, as we know by experience. Ahead)’ gixtccn airports in Canada have been designat- t-d by the Tiransptirt Department as ports tor direct or iudircct usc for utilitary purposes. fhev include airports at Saint lohu, Ilahfax and Monctoti; but there is no reference to this Prov- iiyqg, ,\‘5 our coutcuiptirziry’ says, the question is now being asked, “\\ihcre docs Prince Edward island fit into the picture?” The Governmeiil should ltave no difficulty in answering that rluesfictt with the offer of the Chzirlottetoivn airport before it. on which zilready’ nearly b100,- ooo of federal money is said to have been ex- pended, and ivliicli was selected arid laid out iiith the approval of federal officials-

South African Markets

"Since the outbreak of war South African litivcrs have shown an incrczisiiig interest iii (faiiadian products, especially those which can replace IIICYCllZlIlLllFC formerly imported from Iiiiropc, and circumstances are therefore par- ticuhtrlv favourable for a mutually beneficial increase in trade relationships." 'lil‘.is Stittemﬁlt is contained in a report received by the Depart- nit-iit of Tirade and Conuiierce from ‘l. C. Mac- gillivrayv, Canadian 'l‘rade Commissioner at Cape Town.

The stoppage of commercial intercourse with (ieriii;itiy' will leave a gap in the foreign trade 0f the Liiiion which, as far as niercliaiitlise iiii- ports are eoiicernetl, had an average value dur- ing the past ten years 0f close to £4,000,000, ht‘ says. In addition Germany was an iiiiportzint stipplier of government stores, which are classi- fied separately in the lftiioifs trade statistics In i938 purchases of these from that source came to slightly more than half the value of merchandise imports froiu the same country. Total imports from Germany in i938 amount- ed in value to £7,067,000.

Trade between Germany and South Africa was governed by a Payments Agreement, which was in some respects similar to the arrangement which existed between the Reich and Canada, states the report. Exports consisted almost ex- clusively of raw materials, while imports were made up of a wide range of manufactured goods. “Many of these are also produced in Canada, and consequently Canadian exporters now have an excellent opportunity of captur- ing part of the market previously held by Ger- many.” An intemized list of imports and Gov- ernment stofea purchased by the Union is car- ried in full in the latest issue of the Commer- eial Intelligence ]ournal_

Thrift Vows Unfulfilled

{he Dominion Government is beginning to plan expenditures for the fiscal year beginning April i, i940. In this connection the Financial Post notes that tiovcritnteiit economy pledges, given at the outbreak of war, have so far failed to materialize. In the face of expanding war expenditures and the flovernment’: self-pro- claimed determination fo fight a pay-as-you-gn ivar, there is obviously a vital nccd for economies on ordinary account.

Btit it is equally apparent, says the Par! writ- er, that something has happened to the Govern- ment's resolution; something between the point of origin, the Cabinet, and the point bf record, the official figures on (ioveriimciif expendi- tures. Actually, by Nov. 3o, expenditures were only half a iuilliiiii (lollars lcss than iu the pre- vious yt-zir. The following figures are quoted in this connection. They are iii each case for

eight months 1o Nov. 30:

"'l‘he more the facts are examined," says thi- Post, "the more feeble and irresolute the Gov- ernmenfs determination is disclosed to be. Hon. Charles A. Dunning, in his budget last April 25, budgeted for a deficit this year of $60,000,- 000. Hon. j. L. Ralston, his successor, stated in his recent broadcast that $3io,ooo,ooo would be spent on our war effort in the year ending Aug. 3i, i940. flow much of this expenditure will fall during the current fiscal year, which ends Iilarch 3i, i940, it is impossible to say. Presumably $125,000,000 would not be an over- estimate. Add this to the expected deficit and a total deficit of $185,000,000 is reached.

Against this may be placed the gains in rev- enue due to war taxes imposed in September, ivliich will be relatively small in the next fotir months. The Government has but one chance of achieving its major aim of paying for the war as it proceeds. War taxes cannot begin to assume large dimensions until next year. Econ- omy is the only hope. Yet the financial state- ments now complete up to Oct. 3i show little success in this direction. Department after de- partmeut, as the foregoing table demonstrates. is spending more money, not less, than last year, while special expenditures are soaring.

The Government apparently is riow steeliug itself to ctit down the main estimates for I940- 41, but the main estimates are only the first doses of expenditure. Last session, for ex- ample, successive stipplcnientaries added $146,- 000,000 to the original $475,200,000 estimates.

When war broke otit, only five months of the fiscal year had passed. lf the Government had thcn taken steps to save on controllable ex- [icnditures it might have felt that its economy pledges were bciitg carricil out. S0 far, how- ever, relatively little has been saved; the dc- partmcnts are proceeding on their way as if peace had never been disturbed, itiuch less broken.

The planting of black walnut trees alongside of almost every highway in Canada, botli for their nut production and as a future source nf timber stipplyg is a feasible one, according to .\lr. H. ll. Blaiichet, of Ottawa. Most recent dc- velopmciit in his fight to advance the propaga- tion of walnut trees is tat- distribtitiou, through the co-operation of the United States Govern- ment, of 1,000 wziluut trecs from the grounds of George \V.'ishingttm's cstzite in .\l0uut Vcriloti. These trees have been shipped, in lots of 25, to a number of Canadian cities, where they arc being nurtured in ntirserics and will be used in official tree planting in the near future.

Here is the new morality preached by the Germans. Heinrich Himmler, head of the Ger- man police, addressing the Elite Guard said: “Beyond the limits of bourgeois lavrs and cus- toms which ordinarily are probably necessary if can become an exalted task even outside of wed- lock for German ivoiiicu and girls of good blood to become-not frivolotisly but imbued witn deepest moral coucern—niothcrs of children be- gotten by soldiers moving to the front without knowing whether they will return or die for the fatherlaiid." Herr Hess, Hitler's deputy. endorsed this: “During ivar especially, ivhich so often means death for the best men, every new life is of extraordinary importatice to the nation." Hess wrote. "Hence, if young sol- diers fall on behalf of thc fatlicrlantl who, for some reason or other could not marry and who leave children behind, the state will take care of this national treasure.”

PROHIBITION, ETC.

Slr:- In your editorial notes you stated that a reader has protested v1 orously against the supplying of so diers with liquor at the venders. Well, Sir, for unadulterated hy- crlcy and preposterous nonsense at. just a-bout takes the prize. Soldiers are entitled to get liquor Just. as is any other person who has a scrip. Furthermore. 1t might, os- trlch- like, be denied by some but everybody knows that, sorips are not. is;ued for medicinal purposes, but rather as a government amercement on those who do not wlsli to go to the bootleggers or who wish as- surance of non poisonous, if not quality liquor.

Its about time our representatives (both sides, for one was as bad as the other) bethought themselves of tﬁieir duties and began to statesmen instead 0f politicians. The government had been petit- ioned by two worthy organizations to change the abominable conditions existing under t.lic present law. but apparently was, unwed into submis- sioti by the S. O. T. counter-offen- sive in the person of Mr. Ben Spence of Toronto, whO produced the usual flimsy structure of so his- tical urguirientatloii that coul not. withstand a barrage of logic for five mututes.

We have to face the facts. If people are going to drink. they are going to, prohibition or no; and uthtle we all concede that total ab- stinence is desirable we unequivoc- ally statc that it cannot be brought about by prohibition. People have been drin ing for thousands of years and their assent to abstinence or moderation must come slowly and by 941110411011 not lcgislatlon. Conditions on the Island are dis- graceful, imd our official self-right- f-‘Oils hY/lwﬁllvy is t1 continental joke, The mﬂjllflty of people are not in sympathy with the present law, 2s is patent from the lack of coopera- i..on on the part of good citizens with the-efforts of the police to en- iorcc ll.

TIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIII:

allt d e s k -in -tracle argument 0t the rohlbltlonlst is that the Island can ome dry 1f only the entry 0t contraband can be stopped. _ During the past season owing to the smash-up of the liquor r1118 l" Halifax this deslderatum has been attained. According to the logic of our friends the Island should now be a W. C. T. U. and S. O. '1‘. utop- ia. But. what. are the facts? The number of bootleggers tabout B0) in Charlottetown has not. diminished one iota. nor has the number 0t drunks. The reason is that. the de- mand wnsmet. by an increase in

be moonshine. which together with a

little “alky" pinched hit for _ rum. Vendors sales were also in- creased but. even if these were stotl- ped the manufacture of beer and its distillate, moonshine, would be “topped up to meet, increased d0- maiid. Removal of liquor does not remove tfilixst.

Thg above are impartial facts, not “that. we would like to b€ll€VB_ or have others believe. ocwlﬁlngli’ there should be no delay in dis-titan.- hi1; i1 law composed of what is i195! 1n the other systems and lll liar- moiiy with reason and reality. _lt might put. an end to a few lucrative agencies as well as the bootleggers. but the public good would be served. Though in my twenties. Sir, a tot- al abstainer from beer and extreme- ly moderate in the use of liitrd liq- uor, I shall beat the "crepe-hill!!!- ers" to the punch and dub mysell. Sir, etc.
