"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than tho Wsakeet Ink.”

Fic-inlifflsisrraiimm 11-1941 Mr. llsloy’s Visit

Regardless of politics, our citizens will ‘ex- tend a cordial welcome today to a distlrlglllil" rd senior member of the Dominion Cabinet, the Rt. Hon. J. L. llsley, Minister of Justice. H! will be better known and remembered as Can- ada's wartime Minister of Finance. .

Mr. llsley is the gentleman who, during the war, piled an the taxes in such staggering pra- portions. As Minister responsible for the Prices Board and the Government's general anti-infla- tion policy, he was the man behind many other irieasures which aroused complaint even ltflm his own party supporters. He it was who regu- lated almost every form of our economic war- time activity, and‘ probably sat through more criticism of his policies thcin any other Minister- Today, however, Mr. llsleys great service to the country during the war years is recognized bY all parties. If he is no longer, PIOWIWIIIY mentioned as Prime Minister Kings likely suc- cessor, that may very well be because he has no ambitions in that direction.

Mr. llsley is a native of Somerseb N. S., where his father's farm overlooked the great apple orchards of the Annapolis Valley. He is- of course—a lawyer, and achieved early suc- cess in his profession before entering the King Government in I935 as Ministe_r_of Natlflflfll Revenue. He became Finance Minister in July, I940.

A strong party man, Mr. llsley is conceded to be conscientious in his convictions. Conserva- tives have not forgotten that in I932, he alone of all the Liberal Opposition voted with the Bennett Government for approval of the Em- pire trade agreement negotiated at the Ottawa Imperial Conference. The pgreement meant a lat, of course, to Mr. llsleys constituency; but one feels that he would have voted that way in any case.

Politics may have brought Mr. llsley hefe on this occasion, but Islanders generally will welcome him for his own sake, and will hope that his visit, though brief, will prove a pleas- ant one.

A Conservative?

Speaking amid the scenes of his boyhood at Waterloo, Ont., the other day, PHI“! Mm" ister King gave his audience his mellowest re- flections gleaned from a long public career. "ln a closing word," he said, "let me warn you to beware of change just for the sake of change; or what, in national affairs, is even more dangerous, against. accepting at its face value any untried Utopia, or any procllqimed panacea for social ills, real or imaginary.

This statement draws the following com- ment from the Ottawa Journal:

"Not there the Mr. King we all remem- ber; the action-happy radical who, in the days of his first rapture, used to thunder for reform. Only now the elder stutesmamtaught by the years that change is riot necessarily pro- gress, anrl that there are things in life which wisdom tells us to conserve. Mr. King, ending his public career, has become a good conserva- tive."

Huge Expenditure

According to o Wellington despatch to the Ad-elaide (Australia) Advertiser, social security measures are now casting New Zealanders near- ly $l00 a head. Biggest expenditure items are family benefits ($2 a week for children under I6) costing nearly $50,000,000, old use boost-u ($8 a week) costing $46,000,000 a year, dlrtl medical and hospital benefits, totalling $25,- 000,000.

This, for a country of l,75o._0°° P°P"lP' tian, is equivalent of a social security expendit- ure by Canada of $l,2°°,°°°.900- will" ‘l means is that in order to maintain such o_n elab- orate and costly social services organization the New Zealand Government needs to maintain production and employment at a peak.

Whether the New Zealand Government (a frankly Socialist Government that has held of- fice for I2 years) can contrive to do this re- maiiis to be seen. lts efforts, and what comes of them, will certainly be watch-ed with interest.

He added that the ir.jections apparently produced permanent rath- er than temporary relief. T_he alcohol does not" produce intoxication or any other effect on the patient's body. lt destroys certain cells, called ganglion cells, which renew or repair the nerves. This destruction prevents regeneration of the nerves, he explained. This alcohol injection method, he said, is simpler and less drastic than surgery. I‘ i i‘ f

For several years housewives have been protesting against the sale of peaches under red netting known to the trade as "leno." This year we see that a great many growers are covering their fruit with white rel- lopbane, which protects the peaches but does not alter their color. This ls a modest victory for" the housewife. Peaches are some- times put on the market so green that they rot, before they ripen, and are a total loss to the purchaser. Iri these day's of high living costs B woman whose job 1t is to teed her family as well as possible on a limited sum cannot afford to buy any fruit which is unfit, for use. she ivants to be able to see exactly what she ls buying. and to he: a deceptive vcll of "lono" is like is red rag to a bull. - Peterbarougll Examiner.

About a year ago, when he was still chairman of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board.

Are the housewives to deduce that the manufacturers of bread-knives have conducted o. quiet but. entirely successful lobby In Ottawa? Or are some other "interests" being served? Is the idea, in conservation of labor? (In that case. doesn't the hausewlfeb bread- carvlng chore count. for anything?)

British Had Many Schemes For Palestine

(United Kingdom Information Office)

In connection with the report of the United Nations’ special cctri- mlttee on Palestine, with its maj- ority recommendation of pflrtition and minority advocacy of federal- ism, it may be recalled as is matter of purely historical interest that. the three alternative types of in- dependence for Palesdnc, partition, federalism, ii unified Palestine State. have eaeh been put. forward in one form’ or another (federal- ism in the form of prOVLIICIBI auto- nomy) by successive United King- dom Governments, cn-Iy to be laid aside in the face of intense oppos- ition from the Arabs or Jew: or both ._ laid aside because lt. was realized that none of these solu- tlong could be effectively intro- duced except by the use of force. to which the United Kingdom Government as the Mandatory were not, empowered, much less inclin- ed, to resort.

Partition was recommended by the Royal Commission appointed,

August 1036, uvfiich submitted its report. in June 1W7.

The commission wrote: "ManI- festly the problem cannot be solv- ed by giving Git-her Arabs or Jews all they Willi. But while neither race can justly rule all Palestine, we see no reason why, lf it were practicable, each race should not rule part of it."

The Pee] Commission proposed roughly that North and West Pal- estlne should rai-m an lndependrnt Jewish state and that: South rind East. Palestine should be united to Tkansjordan. Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nnrazeth, as holy places, would remain under British Mandate. The United Kingdom Govern- ment, In a statement issued sim- ultaneously with the Pecl rrport, announced its view l-lifli, a sChflme of partition on the general lines recommended by the Peel commis- slon represented the best and most, hopeful solution o1 the deadlock. 'I‘-‘.'ie Peel report was examined by the League ‘of Nations Mand- ate Commission. which advised em- powering the United Kingdom Government to explore the possi- bilities of partition. 1n due course the league Council authorized the mandatory power to prepare a do-

talled plan. The United Kingdxn Govern- ment. nocordinfl’. in February

193B. sent a technical commission to Palestine uncle-r’ 1.1m chairman-I ship of Sir John Woodhcad.

On the bails r-f the ll/oodhcisd report, the United Kingdom Gov- ernment decided that partition was impracticable.

It should be nddzd that the par- titlon plan had that. with uiiccm- promising hostlity on the part. of the Palestine Arabs.

In the White Pilpel‘ of 1930 the United Kingdom Gcvci-nmcnt tuxri- ed lo the solution oi’ a unif ed Inde- pendent Palestine state, to be es- lablislied ‘Wllllln ten years. It. was the Government's intention to seek the approval of the League Council for this pc-llcy. when the war inter- vened. Meanwhile thls policy tied been condemned by all Zionist op- inion.

Since the end of the war the United Kingdom Government has made three more attempts to find l solution.

The first was by obtaining the 387691119X"- of the U.S.A. to the ap- pointment. of the Anglo-Amarlcan committee of enquiry which re- ported in April 1046.

The committee rejected partition lnd recommended s continuance of the mandate ending the execu- tion o1 a u ste sh p but. was able to go no further tour-do defining what might be the ultimate form of independence for Palestine than the eriunclstlon of two negative ' Ins, "The Jew shall not, dom- lnatrthe Arab and the Arab shall not dominate the Jew" and “Pel- estine shell be nelt-her a Jewish state nor an Arab state".

Next. the United Kingdom Gov- ernment put, forward st the en of July. 1N0. the so-called "Mor- rison plan" for provincial auton- omy, with a central government, administered by the British High Commissioner, exercising exclu- sive sulhoflty in defence, foreign relation; and cllltioml.
