,Province. Newfoundland,

It is reported from Ottawa that the 10th has protestr.-.'i against being included among the "Mari- time Provinces", desiring to retain its identity as distinctly as it did when it was the Ancient Colony. One can well understand Neu'founclland's attitude. Before entering Confederation. Premier Jones warned the negotiators bluntly that they should l"n.'.lh'l': sure of the conditions on which they were to be admitted, holding up the Maritime Provinces, especially Prince Edward Island. as an awful example of what to expect were its bargain signed and sealed before ade- quate provision had been made for a settle- ment equivalent to that enjoyed by Ontario and Quebec. At present the powers-that-be when they think of Canada think in terms of these two Provinces. Many of the claims and rights the Maritimes have under Con- federation have to be dragged from Ottawa as concessions and special favors. Profiting by Premier Jonesi warning. Newfoundland seems determined to start under its new auspices with its right foot forward. One hardship it wants to escape is to be linked up with Nova Scotia. New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island as the neglected Muri- time Provinces. Our sympathy is all with the Number 10 Province, having endured. and still enduring. the consequences of not being adequately protected or provided for under "the bond." Perhaps if our new neigh- bour protests and kicks vigorously enough. it may tend indirectly to benefit the rest of us, and provide for the profitable develop- ment of the new Atlantic Provinces.

l'r:t;:tlon For Strawberries

-:--.r

A new system for giving seasonal protec- tion to Canadian fruit and vegetable grow- ers has been introduced at Ottawa. Under the old procedure the Minister of National Revenue had authority to fix a fair market value of any fruit or vegetable for a given period within the limitations of the old United States-Canada trade agreement. The fixed valuation was considerably higher than the price the American exporter was charg- ing his Canadian customers and the differ- ence was lcvied against the American Dro- duct as a dumping duty.

The disadvantage of that system was that no one knew what the dumping duty would be until the National -Revenue depart- ment announced the fixed valuation. The American negotiators at the Geneva confer- ence on trade and tariffs asked that Canada should take steps to remove such uncertain- ties and the Canadian represent-atiV9S agreed. Accordingly in the last budget it was provided that. in the case of straw- berries. for six weeks each summer when Canadian gardens were producing berries the tariff against American berries should be 1 3-5 cents a pound and the remainder of the year the tariff would be 10 per cent ad valorem. Other fruits and vegetables are to be protected in a similar way. The buil- get divided Canada into three zones-Marv times. Ontario and Quebec and the West- ern zone from Port Arthur to the Pacific coast. The higher duty comes into effect in each zone when domestic production starts. I

The change. already in effect in the Cen- tral Provinces. has. according to the Ottawa Citizen, been well received by the fruit and vegetable growers. Whether it will. give them as much protection as the old pro- cedure remains to be seen but it has pPi'- manency and will be the same year after year so the growers can plan accordingly.

Unemployment Insurance

Changes in the Unemployment Insurance

Act which go into effect on July 3rd will, among other things. raise the ceilings on salaries under which unemployment insur- ance is paid from h3.120 to h-1,800 per 3'95"”- It might appear that this is a result of some- one's solicitude for the social security of the more highly paid wage earner, but apparent- ly it is not so. An official, not an Island one, of the Commission explains that the amounts being paid out in benefits. some 813,000,000 in February of this year alone. compared with 311,000,000 paid in during the same period. exceeded receipts. The need was felt to bring more money into the Commission to handle the Increasing nay- rnenta ahd the raising of ceilings was one of the means devised.

Mr. Walter R. Shaw is making good use of his time cn his official visit to Norway and Sweden. which is to be followed by a visit to Scotland before returning' home. The benefit: of his experience will be extended to us at home when once he gets settled down to collect and reproduce his at present scattered thoughts and impressions.

The other members of the Directorate of the Bank of Canada will have reason.tc regret their inability to visit this Provincc enroute to Halifax where a meeting of the Board will be held. The value of a per- sonal visit to a Province like this is im- measurable both for the Bank and the Gov- ernment as well as the people here.

The job of the year is undoubtedly that offered by a New Jersey amusement park E. Howell's rainmaking activities in New York City. it is double the rainmaker's salary of 55100 a day if he will stop his rain- making activities. A good many people would refrain from rain-making at that rate.

According to the report of the proceed- ings at the Prince County Progressive Con- servative Convention. the most likely candi- dates for the Party leadership in succession to Dr. the Hon. W. J. P. MacMillan, are Messrs. Bell and Mathieson. But there may be others, including the re-nomination of the Doctor himself, who holds the record of having won six out of seven elections in the City where twenty per cent of the electorate is located.

The question of air travel for Members of Parliament has again been raised. With sessions extending over an even greater part of the year it is essential that Members be able to visit their constituencies from time to time while the House remains in session. Long,week-ends are ufficient to enable On- tario and Quebec members to do this, but the only way in which the more distant lo- calities can be visited without neglect of parliamentary duties is by air.

Britain is almost psiylng her way in the trading balance sheet. In 1938. U. K. earn- ings from overseas investments and other "invisible" items paid for 2896 of imports. In 1949, "invisibles" paid for only 57a of Britain's imports. A great part of overseas investments were used up by the U. K. Gov- ernment in financing the war and, in addi- tion, huge debts-especially the "sterling balances"-were run up. As a result, im- ports have to be paid for by direct exports. nritaininnlwtsdhieinthumk. m19:is. only 8096 ofimportewere paid forbyex- porte. In 1949 Britain paid for 9096 of her

WILDERNESS LANDS

From a report to the Executive Council of a committee appointed to enquire into the purchase of the Selkirk Estate. Feb. 28, 1868;

"With regard .to the wilderness lands on this estate as well as such other lands that are held by the Government in different parts of the C010nl'. your committee recom- mend that more liberal terms should be offered intending set. tiers than the Government here- tofore have granted, so as to en. sure the settlement andcultivation thereof. and ultimately the realiza- tion of the cost of the same. It ap- pears that 130.000 acres of forest lands still remain unsold, 80,000 acres of which are available for settlement, and that the terms now offered are not such as are likely to induce those willing to same thereon to lakeqthe same.

"With lheview of attaining this desirable object. we would recom- mend that a license of occupation should be offered to intending set- tlers. for the term of from five to ten years. also that the settlers on those lands should. at the ex- piration of their license of occupa- tion, have the privilege of pur- chasing at the present prices under the Land Purchase Act; and. as an additional inducement and protec- tion to intending settlers. some pro- vision should be made whereby the farm or holding of each setilcr should be guaranteed and secured by law to him and his family. for twenty years or more, from the time when first settled, in such a way that it should not. during that time. be liable to be sold for any debts or liabilities of the settler. or under any judgment obtained against him: and that, as a guaran- tee to the Government of the bona- fide of the settler. he be prohibited. for the first five or ten years. from in any way alienating or encum- boring his holding . . .

"Your committee. being aware of the fact that a great part of the wilderness lands are inaccessible to settlers, for the want of roads. in order to o n out these lands

, for occupation, .would advise this

necessary preliminary towarik ef- fecting a settlement should be im- mediately carried into operation, and that the roads throughout the whole shall be opened out; and they also advise the lands to be laid off in blocks of 100 acres each. and n-umbered. and the surveys of the different lot; numbered and delineated on the plan of each Township. thus affording the ne- rcssary facility towards offering and occupying the same."

This particular period in his- tnry has often been referred to as the "air age". the ”at.om age" and various other kinds of age, to which may be added the "public relations age". it seems that prac- tically every institutlon and or- ganization of any size. and al- most every government depart- mcnt of any importance. now must have its public relations of- flccr and staff to keep the pub- lic informed on what the par- ticular organization is doing. or manufacturing. whichever the case may be.

There are many kinds of pub- lic relations officers. as any news- paper editor very well knows. Some are doing an excellent job of improving and cementing re- lations between their organiz- ations and .the public. Unfortun- ately. there are other whose prin- cipal mission appears to, be to wrangle space in publications fiec, which normally would cost a firm which denied itself the lux- ury of such an official. money for qdvertislng space. There are also public relations officers who set themselves up-or are set. up-as a kind of censors to protect their organisations or departments from the inquiring public. These are often found in government de- partments. There are. too. pub- lic relations men who send out reams of meaningless words in the guise of "press releases." de-

The Future Of Western

Economic C0-operation

by W. N. Ewer

Out of the complex of minister- ial talks-two-powcr, three-power. twelve-power-in London from the 9th to the 18th of May. came two major results. One is the de- velopment and improvement of the machinery of the North At- lantic Treaty Organization. The other is the decision to begin talks on the subject of economic co-operation after Marshall Aid ends in the summer of 1952. I think that the second is probably more important.

To say that is underestimate the the Atlantic Treaty itself or f the new developments which air now to happen. But after all, these are only new development. The decisive step was taken last, year. The twelve have in their London meeting done nothing which is in any way so momentous as the decisions they made and the ob- ligations they undertook when they signed the Treaty in Wash-

in no way to importance of

ngton.

But the decision which Acheson.

Bevin and Pearson took in con- sultation with Dr. Stikkcr is something entirely new. it is the first step taken towards answer- ing the biggest problem-apart perhaps from defence which faces the countries of Western Europe and North America. Thai. is the question of what to do about economic co-operation in 1952. ' Now, it has for a long time been taken as axiomatic that the or- ganization for European Economic Cooperation. which was set up in 1948 to deal primarily with Mar- shall Aid. could not simply be scrapped. There could be no go- ing back. in some form or other organized economic cooperation between Western European coun- tries would have to continue.

But there was a tendency both in Europe and the U.S.A. to think of the problem as a purely Eur- opean one. The roles of the U. S. A. was to give assistance without which there could be no recov- cry.

0 O O

Europe's role was to increase its own prod ction and in some measure to in egrate its own na- tional economies. At the end of four years, Europe should be near- ly self-supporting. It would con- tinue with a policy of European cooperation. But the U. S. A., could then withdraw from any kind of organizational association and revert to "normal" trade con- ncctions with Europe.

The assumption. let me repeat. was that in the "post-Marshall" period Europe": economic prob- lems would be "European." cap- able of solution within a purely European framework. But it has gradually become clear that this assumption was a false one. in the third year of Marshall Aid. the chief preoccupation: of O. E.. E. C. are with relations of Europ-i can countries with the overseas world. There is the problem of the dollar gap. There is the prob- lem of the relationship between continental currencies and those of the sterling area. it has. for example. been found impossible -lo organize a "European Payment Union" without linking up with the whole sterling area.

In short. it became clear that if post-Marshall cooperation were to be effective it could not be confined to Europe. The U. S. A..

But that is a matter of detail. The big decision taken in London is that. not only must European economic cooperation be contin- ued after the end of the Marshall Aid period but that there will have to be a "working relation- ship" between the European body. the U. S. A. and Canada. The exact nature of that working relationship has to be discussed and decided. There are other prob- lems ahead. What are to be-the relations with the sterling area? What are to be the relations with the big Soviet economic bloc, which includes all Eastern Eur- ope and more than half of Asia?
