lion. Mr. cIaxton's Visit

Prince Edward Island welcomes a dis- tinguished visitor today in the person of the lion. Brooke Claxton. Minister of Na- tional Defense, who is scheduled to arrive at Sumnlerside from Ottawa this morning and to address a luncheon meeting in the Prince County capital before proceeding to ("ilariot'tctown, where he will be guest speaker this evening at a dittner sponsoretl by the Charlottetown Board of Trade.

Apart from his high official position. Mr. :

Claxton will be warmly welcomed on his ivwll account. as one of Canada's most bril- liant pziriiamentarians and a possible suc- :'t'sst)t' to Prime Minister St. Laurent when he retires from office. A lx'.C. at the age of forty-one, the Defense Minister entered the House of Commons a year later and within three years was singled out by the late Mr. King as his parliamentary assistant as pres- ident of the Privy Council. he became the first of the parliamentary .-vssistants to attain Cabinet rank, going to the Ilealth Department. and Welfare Minister that he first visited Charlottetown in 19-15 in connection with the introduction of family allowances, the scheme being put into effect here before

becoming applicable to the rest of (lanada.; '.Vlr. Claxton took a prominent part lll

preparing a special study on the Canadian constitution for the Roweii-Sirois Commis- sion and later served as olte of the small inner circle which guided the l'etlcrai Gov- ernment through the prolonged negotiations with the Provinces in search of a new basis for fiscal affairs. dates from the First World War, in which sergeant-major with the 10th Siege Battery. His first job as Defense Minister. which lie assumed in i046, was to co-ordinate the three forces on a permanent basis of efficiency that could serve as the nucleus of wartime de-

,,velopment at any time, and this continues

to be his main task under the present great- ly expanded defense programme.

Two projects of prime importance to our citizens and to our national defense scheme in general are the new Naval Barracks and new Armouries for Charlottetown. It is to be hoped Mr. Claxton will be able to give some definite assurance as to when this work will be undertaken. He will also doubtless be interested in the plans for ex- panding Charlottetown airport facilities, which are also of importance from a de- fense standpoint though nominally falling under the Department of Transport. The pressing need for airport expansion has been highlighted by the news in yestcrdayls Guardian. that the Maritime Central Air- ways may have” to transfer a large part of its activities from Charlottetown to Monc- inn.

It is pleasing indeed to be able to wel- come Mrs. Claxton along with the Minister on this occasion, although their stay will he regrettably brief. It is to be ltepcd that they will find the opportunity, later in the

season, for a more extended visit of a hoi-g

iday nature.

Support Avoids Scarcity

The support price for beef protects the farmer front crippling losses which could result from a serious break in the market. Even more important, the assurance of the support price helps to avert anything in the nature of panic marketing which would bring prices far below cost of production.

Although the immediate beneficiary is the farmer, in the long run it is the con- sumer who stands to gain by the steadiness of the market. A serious disturbance would bring temporary price reductions but the result ,would be reduced production. In the long run the consumer would have suf- fered because of reduced production and subsequent higher prices:

GETTING SOMETHING F01! NOTHING

Sir,-There is a certain class oi people who will leap to the idea of getting something for nothing. They think it is a chance that should not be missed. They do not seem to know that this is rob- bery. They would rcscnti being ac- cused of thieving but it. is that as much as shop-lifting. Thleving is getting something for nothing, t.x- ccpt the risk of being found out This is why it. is such an objec- tionable practice, fit for jail.

Here in Canada, gambling is a criminal offence; and just now. it move is an to have the law changed to permit gambling. The Federal Government is to be asked to change the law so that. the provinces can hold lotteries. l.c, to legalize the principle of got- ting something for nothing.

Recently, in the U. S. the Ke- fauver Commission has uncover- ed a fearful moral mess, involving high officials who have been tak- ing from the Government. some- thing for nothing. amounting to many millions, plainly a form of theft, for which the common thief is thrown into jail. In fact, a number of these officials have get. themselves into jail. and this practice in the U. S. is found to be very widespread. due no doubt to the gambling crnzc that has, these last few years, possessed the American people. God-forbid that. we should point an accusing finger ut the U. S. and forget. our own sins!

Here in P. E. Island a good deal of gambling goes on. All kinds of it seems to be carried on at our fnll exhibition under the eyes of the police. some effort. has been made to put. it stop to it but. with-

out much success. Cars have been rallied on our streets. .u:d bingo is ill full swing in runny

places. Oh I forgolnyes, it. is for cliarltnblc and religious purposes. It makes a moc'.:ery of the law. Over in Britain. so great is tilt. betting mania. that the Arch- bishop of Canterbury hns advis- ed the Government to legalize Lnc prncticc and of course. make some revenue out of the billions spent. in betting. it reminds one of the argument that. because people will have I: drink let. them have it lcmilly, and make some money out of this human weakness. It is no wonder that Britain, from all they spend in gambling ntld drink, are ill fl bad way, finnnclnily. It s a well-known fact. that the mini who drinks and gnmblcs is running sooner or inter upon the rocks of

bankruptcy and the same inte awaits the drinkinsz. gambling nation.

For the first time in 164 years, a singlci vote has decided the election of a Scottish Representative Peer. At the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Earl of Perth was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by the death of his father. He received 20 votes, Lord Reay 19, and the Earl of Northesk 4. "The result was so close that the Lord Clerk-Register (Lord Elphinstone), who usually waives his right to vote. was oblig- ed to exercise it on this occasion," com- mented Sir James Fcrgusson, Bt.. Keeper of the Records of Scotland, after the by- election. The last occasion on which a Peer was elected by a single vote at a by- elcction was on January 10, 1788, when Lord Cathoart received 28 votes to the Earl of Dum'fries' 27.
