Most Welcome Visitors

Canada's Provincial Ministers of Agri- culture and their Deputies will be welcomed most heartily today to the Garden of the Gulf. Their conference, which will carry through into Exhibition Week, will be the third of a series started at Toronto in 1950. Last year the meeting was held at Vic- toria, B. C., and it is the intention to move to other Provinces from year to year. The Ministers from all the Provinces excepting British Columbia and Alberta, and Deputies from every Province but Alberta, will be in attendance, and many of them are bringing their wives or other mem- bers of their families. They will see Prince Edward Island at its best, and will have an opportunity of inspecting our finest live- stock and watching our fastest horses in "action at the Big Fair, and generally of gaining a pretty good insight into the reasons why our Province is regarded as one of the finest agricultural areas in the world.

The conference will deal with many problems of mutual concern, and will like- ly include discussion on such important sub- jects as marketing legislation, the move- ment of feeds, and the dairy and potato industries.

The visitors will be forlnaliy welcomed at a dinner in their honour on Monday eve- ning, when Hon. F. C. Bell, Minister of Agriculture for Manitoba, will be guest speaker. They will then proceed to the Provincial Exhibition grounds, where the Hon. Thomas Kennedy, Minister of Agri- culture for Ontario, will officially open the big Fair. Prior to these functions, on Mon- riay afternoon, they will be guests at the Rotary Club luncheon, when another mem- ber of their party, Hon. Laurent Barre, the Minister for Quebec, will speak.

It would be difficult to exaggerate thc1

importance of a visitation of this kind, at this particular time, apart altogether from the results which may be expected to ac- crue from the conference. As is fitting, the visitors are being entertained jointly by the Provincial Department of Agricul- ture and the Exhibition Association, and it is hoped and expected that they will have a thoroughly pnjoyable as well as profit- able Limc in our midst.

subsidized competition

Within the next few weeks some 35 Marine class cargo vessels, capable of a speed of 20 knots, will go into operation flying the United States flag. These ships will be in competition with the merchant vessels of the United Kingdom, Canada and other countries.

The only difference between the new U. S. merchant shipping fleet and the mer- chant fleets of other countries, notes Vancouver exchange, is that. they have been built at. the taxpayers' expense and will be operated by private companies in receipt of large government subsides from Washington. Thus, despite the high wage levels prevailing for ships with U. S. reg- istry, the new ships will be able to compete most effectively with the privately-owned vessels of other countries.

Washington justifies its decision for go- ing into the shipping business on the ground that by so doing a substantial contribution is made to the defence needs of the United States and the other western democracies.

The problem, however, is not quite so simple as that. ,For, if the state-subsidized competition of U. S. merchant vessels were to make it unprofitable for the privately- owned vessels of other countries to continue operation, the next result would be a loss rather than a gain in the total tonnage of merchant vessels available in time of em- ggegency to' meet the defence requirements ofAtho'west- . l

The Ottawa Journal notes that the ever- .'iasting flood of new books drove the librar- l ians to distraction in attempting to find ac-

commodation for them in a" building plan- ,ned to meet the needs of members in the year 1867. Some new volumes, such 'as childrenls books, could be sent to the Su- preme Court Building for storage, but for books of current interest space had to be lfound until every available inch was filled. i There is but one solution and this mis- fortune may hasten it. lThat is an early ,start on 'a National Library.

Farmers Andilarltfas

By general consent, Fortune Magazine has done a good job of publicizing Canadals industrial boom. It goes off the beam, how- ever, notes the Windsor Star, when it deals with the attitude of Canadians to tariffs. It asserts agriculture is in favor of pro- tective tariffs. If this be so, it is certainly a new development and one which has 1 grown up silently. ..

Canadian farmers, those inia few areas excepted, have been and are against high tariffs. Their attitude is based on the econ- omic facts ofrlife. When trade is unimped- ed by currency restrictions, Canadian farm- ers sell their surpluses in world markets. There they must compete against all com- ers; and export prices have a habit of fix- ing domestic prices. It has always been the complaint of our farmers that they must sell in a free, competitive market, but buy in a protected one, thus losing out both ways.

The Fortune writer, suggests our Wind- sor contemporary, may have been misled by comparing Canadian and United States agriculture. There is no such comparison. The great proportion of United States farm- ers generally aren't dependent upon export markets, except for some wheat. Thus Un- ited States farmers are protectionist, want- ing to'protect their principal market from competition.

To Rebuild Despite Volcanoes,

(National Geographic New: Bulletin)

The Australian Government, un- deterred by volcanic dnnjr or World War II bombings, has de- cided to rebuild the town and port of Rabaul on New Britain Island in the Bismark Archipel-

0.

Rabaul lies on Simpson harbor, often described as one of the most beautiful in the world. It is at the extreme northeastern tip of New Britain Island, a mountain- opined crescent about 300 miles long and 50 miles wide, northeast of New Guiana.

The splendor of Simpson,har- bor. says the National Geographic Society, is enhanced by five active volcanoes towering above its shor- es, and one in the harbor itself.

t O I

It was the danger of volcanic eruption similar to an explosion in 1937 that covered Rabnul with I frosting of volcanic ash and re- sulted in considerable loss of life. that caused the Australian Gov- ernment to hesitate before re- building the chief city of the UN- mandated island.

But Australianpfficiuls are now convinced that vulcanologists can predict serious eruptions. The government has announced a contribution of nearly 545.000 for constructlon of permanent escape routes to enable residents to flee potential explosions.

Presumably the eruptions can be foretold by the vigor and length of the "gurilas" that usual- ly precede them. "Gurla" is a local name for recurrent violent. rolling earthquakes that shake dishes and sometimes knock down buildings. As a rule, residents take gurias in their stride.
