That Prince Edward Island is sd-

versely affected by reason of its li- quor prohlbltion legislation was the contention voiced before the special Senate committee on Tourist Traffic by Senator Creelman McArthur, Liberal, P. E. I. representative on the committee, during the course of evidence heard at Ottawa on May B. From the official report of the pro-

Miv. D. Leo Dolan, Fredericton, N. 9

B., director of the New Brunswicik Bureau of information and Tourist Travel: "Within the last few months 0

suppose members of this Committee V

effect upon the tourist industry of canada 'of the repent or the Eight-I eenth Amendment by the United States. Without any qualification, I! may say that so far as New Bruns- wick is concerned we do not anticip- ate any adverse effect whatever. I

y.

tlsing that_New Brunswick has oar- rled on in the United States public- ations no reference whatever has I been made to the fact that we had gcvemment control of the sale of liquor. We kept that entirely out of our advertising. We have trusted to g other features and other attractions, which we have found much more B

Prohibition would you not think you would be affected detrirnentally?"

Mr. Dolan: "Possibly we would.

Senator, but I think you will agree with me that at no time in the last ten year; has there been any less liquor in the United States than there has been in Canada. In fact on my visits to the New England States I have found there has been more liquor there than at home."

Senator Buchanan: "But it has

not been so good."

Mr. Dolan: “It is very much worse,

I grant you that. Weil, Senator Mc- Arthur, lt is a strange thing, but in all those replies on the cards there is only one man who m.ade any re- ference to liquor, and he was a res- ident of the State of Maine.”

The Chairman (Senator Dennis):

“You are not a prohibltionist, Mr.

'D0la.n?"

Mr. Dolan: “No sir.” Senator McArthur: “We in Prince

Edward Island have the only dry province in Canada and that fact hurts us.”

Mr. Dolan: “Well, I never went

dry in Charlottetown, Senator."

Senator McArthur: “Nor in Su.m-

merslde?"

Mr. Dolan: "No, nor in Summer-

side." _

Newspaper Publicity

In the course of his evidence Mr.

Dolan emphasized the advantage of newspapers as a medium for tourist advertising. “I am." he said, "one person wlio believes there is no bet- ter advertlslng than newspaper ad- vertlsing."

The Chairman: “The majority of

the Committee will agree with you.”

Mr. Dolan: “Judging from the

comments this morning, I think that L; a very popular assertion.” He went on to state that the total ex- penditure of the New Brunswick bureau for this year is $28,500.

Ohio Farmers' Party

Mr. Dolan also stated that there is

coming to the Maritime Provinces this year what is known as the Ohio Farmers’ Party, consisting of some 200 farmers from the middle west- ern States, who will tour the farm- ing arena of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island on a special train. It will be their first visit to Maritime Canada.

Island Disadvantages

Mr. Dolan advocated that the tour-

ist bureaus of the three Maritime Provinces be amalgamated, in view of the fact that each has the same object in mind.

The Chairman: “That ls, to sell

the Maritimes."

dMr. Dolan: "To sell Maritime Cau- a a_"

Senator McArthur: “You must of-

ten have antlcipated that, with the intensified development of the tour- ist traffic, the time would come when lt would be ridiculous for the three provinces to be competing."

Mr. Dolan: “Surely_" Senator McArthur: “We know that

people ln New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have told tourists, 'Dont go across to Prince Edward Island, it will take more time, and you will have to pay the ferry charge!

Senator Buchanan: “And they

have Prohibition.”

Senator McArthur: "They have

used that against us. Prince Edward Island is up against it badly enough. Tourists do not have to be told about the attractions of the land of Evan- l geline, of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea, or Campo Bello, and I ani going to make the plea for the support of ev- erybody in the other Maritime Pro- vinces towards an effort to have the

car ferry charge reduced."

t gh. Dolan: "We would be deligh-

e _"

Senator McArthur: "That is the

burden of the brief of the Premier. which is here. 'I‘here is a complaint on ons of your cards about driving 1

the boat and paying five dollars

o from Saint John to Digby."

Commlttee would have to makes recommendation on that. "I thought", he said, “we should get the ideas of the New Brunswick repre- sentative as to whether it was to be a centralization of tourist develop- ‘ment in the federal power, or simply a co-ordination of the tourist activ- ities of all provinces in a_ bureau at Ottawa.

The Chairman: "We are simply

C. N. R.. Hotel Tourist Revenues

Mr. J. Van Wyck, Ottawa, general

manager, hotel department, Canad- ian Natlonal Railways, in the course of his evidence before the commit- tee stated that this summer the C. N. R. hotels expected to do s. con- siderably increased U. S. tourist business. For the Chateau Laurier in 1924 they expect a business of $150,000; for the Fort Garry, $20,000; the Macdonald, $10,000; the Prince Arthur, $12,000; the Prince Edward. $2,000; the Nova Scotlan, $31,000. The Railway spends about $15,000 for ad- vertising and publicity in the Uni- ted States, practically all ln news- paper and magazine advertising.

Senator McArthur: "What have

you got down for the Canadian Na- tional hotel‘s tumover at Charlotte- town?"

Mr. Van Wyck: “At Charlottetown

we expect lt to be s. great deal bet- ter this .summer than it was last summer. Last year we had only a- bout $5.000 of American business, but I expect this year we will get about $10,000. Do you not think

the biginess will be much better this ye r, Senator?"

Senator McArthur: “Yes_ We have

a very greatly improved car ferry now, and that is an important fac- tor.”

Boat Passenger Service

Mr. Van Wyck was asked by the

chairman if he did not think it would be an excellent plan to have a direct boat service from Boston to Halifax, Charlottetown and Saint John in the summer months, during July and August.

Mr. Van Wyck: "Weil, yes. There

The Chairman: “Not ii real pas-

senger servlce. There is a service from Boston to Yarmouth."

Mr. Dolan: “And from Boston to

Saint John.”

The Chairman: "'1‘wenty-five or

thirty years ago we had a direct ser- vice from Boston to Halifax and Charlottetown-the Plant Line-and the hotels were filled all summer.”

Mr. Van Wyck: “l am not really

in a pcsltlon to give you an answer to that, because twenty-five years ago there were no automobiles, and of course the boat trip was lovely, and people made arrangements ac- cordingly. I will make some inquir- ies."

The Chairman: “Thank you."

Mlgrstosy Bird Treaty

Mr. J. B. Harkin, Commissioner of

Dominion Parks, Dominion Depart- ment of the Interior, Ottawa, gave evidence of the encouragement given to the public oi' canada to go in for outdoor recreation.

Senator McArthur: "Do you find

iuiything in the Migratory Bird Treaty that is objectionable to Can- ada. or anything that can be lin- provcd? There is a good deal of dis- satisfaction all over Canada, and particularly in the Maritimes. It is claimed that the Americans have thc preference in regard to shooting; that they do' not come up here to shoot, because they have the big end of it down there. This treaty is re- ncwed from year to year."

Mr. Harkin: "lt remains in oper-

ation until denounced on a Yes.r's notice by either party."

Senator McArthur: "Do you fliidi

Americans coming li1 here to shout. and if so, in what locality?"

, Mr. Harkin: “I do not'belleve any great number have ever come to Canada for the purpose of shootini! , birds. There are always some, I think, who go into those flat areas - ln New Brunswick for Brant. and Canada geese, but I am quite con- vinced that it. is not true to say that the people of the Maritimes or any other part of Canada are sufferlns- I am convinced by our records, that if lt were not for the treaty there would be no bird shooting either in Canada or in the United States to- day. People forget that while these birds are bredlnCanada they are no morg our birds thall they Ere the Amerlcans’_ The birds insist on go- ing to the United States for the winter, and we cannot prevent them.” Prior to the treaty the conditions in some of the United States were de- plorable. There was no federal con- trol. They had passed an Act, but found it unconstitutional. In the first place the control and regula- tion rested with the' individual States, and there were States in the south where there was not a day of close season, and from south to north there was much spring shoot- ing. Some States prohibited it. Al- so there was marketing to a large extent. The two things that destroy birds more than anything else are the marketing of game and spring

shooting."

strictly enforced now.

Mr. Harkin: “The law is strictly

enforced now. Of course there are violations in the United States, and also here in Canada. As a matter of fact, I think the impression in the Maritimes that there ls_not' as good an enforcement of the Migra- tory Blrds Treaty as there should be in largely due to this fact: In a huge country like the United States there are areas where there has been sian hter, just as there are in Can

Senator McArthur: “Is there any spring goose shooting in' the' United:

States?"

M1-_ Harkin: “No, none that is le-

gal "

Senator McArthur: “Haven't, you

found that there is a. great failing off ln wild life on account of the disappearance of eel grass?"

Mr. Harkin: “Undoubtedly eel

grass."

Senator McArthur: "Have you had

a report oi’ the large number of par- tridge that died last winter in Prince Edward Island? The number has been placed at 17,000, but I think it is an exaggeration.”

Mr. Harkin: "No, we have had no

report about the Hungarian par- tridge. We have no authority over them, only over migratory birds."

“Five-year Plan" : `

Mr. Harkin was subsequently ask-

ed by Senator McArthnr: “Lf we had a co-ordinated five-year plan in which the municipalities and pro- vincial govemments co-operated un- der a national scheme, would not another branch be necessary in your departmer1t?”

Mr. Harkin: “It might." Senator McArthur: "You could not

carry on that work as well as your work in connection with the parks?"

Mr, Harkin: "I could not express

an opinion about that."

Senator McArthur: “There is no

doubt that we have been detriment- allyaffected by the American liquor law. Another factor this year is that the cost of trips to Europe and trips around the world has been ridicul- ously low. 1<‘ui'thcrmore, there ls the Worid'5 Fair. We are up against all these adverse conditions."

Asked for suggestions as to setting

up n federal organization for the future in connection with the tour- ist traffic, Mr_ Haiikin said lic would like to see the Dominion coll to- gether ln Ottawa representatives from each province, representatives of the railways and other transpor- tation compniiies, like the Canada Steamship Lines, rcprcsciitatives of the Manufacturers’ Association, thc automobile organizations, the Bank- ers' Association, the Canadian Chambers of Commerce and the Press Association. A general com- mittee shouid be constituted which would meet the federal department once n, year. A five year plan might well be formulated. Then at the iiii- nual meeting the general committee would resurvey the situation and make whatever recommendations it might see fit. It should be purely an advisory organization. Bclilnd this general Advisory Committee ho would like to have ln Ottawa an in- terdepartmental committee, compos- ed of representatives from the Cus- homs. Immigration, Trade and Com- merce, and Justice Departments, thc Bureau of Statistics and the Radio Commission. This committee should meet frequently to deal with gpeclflc problems that may arise iii tiny of the dcpartnient.s_

Scottish Imports of Canadian Baron

Scottish imports of Canadian bii-

coii dui-ing the first quarter of 1934 rose to 3.812 cwt. from 970 in t_‘,‘ first quarter of 1933. These lnipoxis therefore have multiplied about four times. The imports from Denmark liavc been cut almost in half but the amount, 51,400 cv/t. is still very large.

Drought In States

CHICAGO, May 15, -- While the’

Middle Wests phenomenal cross- country dust-storm settled on tliv Northeastern Atlantic States, 1,00t_ miles away, grain farmers scanned azure skies vainly for a. sign of rain to break the drought. Some of tho grime settled on the dome of the Capitol, at Washington, and some fell in Wz1llStrcct.

Free, for the most. part. of the dust

that recently clouded the atmos- phere, aiid experiencing cooler tem- peratures that were downright cold in some sections, the middle and northwestern sections found the drought was unabni/ed, and they heard nothing but discouragemeni from weather forecasters.

Engineers who counted the partic-

les in the Middle Western air esti- mated that a total of 300,000,000 tons of dust, previous Minnesota, Dakota and Iliinois topsoll ln which wheat and oats were planted, have been lifted by the stiff winds and taken fogldre across the country.

It was estimated that into metro-

politan Chicago alone was brought 12,000,000 pounds of it, deposited on loop desks and residential rugs Thats four pounds each for every man, woman and child bi the city
