'Attempting as it does to restrict intra- provincial trade, the recently passed New- foundland Vegetable Grading Act has stir- erd up a hornet's nest of criticism. In -.1 communication addressed to the Newfound- land Minister of Natural Resources, the Chamber of Commerce at C0l'll( r Brook has strongly censored the Act and asked the Government to rescind its measures. The Chamber claims that the Newfound- land consumer would be forced, as the regu- lations applied, to pay fifty to seienty-five cents per bag more for produce ”by no means superior to that produced elsewhere in Canada;" that local stocks do not stand up to winter storage and in consequence spring supplies would have to be obtained from other Provinces at an increased cost by express, and that over and above these considerations there should be free trade between the Provinces.

With reference to the latter point a correspondent in the St. Johns Evening Telegram, Mr. M. A. Morgan, comprehen- sively reviews the respective powers of the Federal and Provincial Governme:its in mat- ters relating to agriculture. Poiiiting out that all imported produce is subject to local inspection, the writer questions the author- ity of the Provincial Legislature to institute such inspection of produce imported from another 'Province, in view of the fact that agriculture is subject to Federal authority as well and that in the event of conflicting regulations, those passed by the Dominion Government will prevail. Produce, for ex- ample, of Prince Edward Island is required to satisfy the provisions of the Dominion Grading Act. If it was found by officials of the purchasing Province that the im- ported produce was below standard -- that is, below the standard set by the Dominion legislation - then it would be in order for the Province concerned to call the attention of the federal authorities to the fact.

The application to imported produce of grading regulations which set a higher standard than that instituted by the Do- minion Government would constitute an embargo on intra-provincial trade which, as the writer points out, could not be defend- ed on economic grounds and would be con- trary to the provisions of the Canadian Constitution. It is also emphasized by Mr. Morgan, as the resolution of the Corner Brook Chamber of Commerce also states that the shutting out of produce from other Provinces which is obtainable at u consid- erably lower cost than the home-raised vegetables, while benefiting the farmers, would add considerably to the living costs of the general body of consumers.

Editorially The Telegram indcrses Mr. Morgan's views. While expressing every dc- sire to see the fullest possible encourage- ment given to local farmers, it adds that "even they, we feel convinced, w..' realize the inequity of legislation which aims at fostering the industry but which in effect tends substantially to increase the cost to the consumer of an essential commodity. In a previous reference to the Grading Act, it was suggested that so far as the arrange- ments made for inspection were concerned, the householder who had purchased his stock of produce from a farmer was un- likely to derive any benefit whatever."

-cheese Popularity

Island cheese, the common naro Ched- dar type with colour added to dintinguisli it from the English variety, has achieved deserved popularity. The recent news that the past season has seen demand and price at their highest is encouraging for the dairy farmer and shows good sense on the part of the Canadian consumer in all parts of this country.

As a food, cheese is unsurpassed. It het- ters meat in protein content, contains a sub- stantial amoiint of butter-fat ani above all is a most imporgnt source of calcium. When in addition it is remembered that its cost is moderate compared with other foods and that its tang lends zest to any meal. it is far from surprising that itsiipopularity is increasing by leaps and bounds.

The United States bought 134 million bushels, most of which was for grinding in bond.

Their job will be to train Quebeckers to weave the firm's beautiful products which now have a wide sale in Canada. No in- terpreters are planned, so St. Therese work- ers may soon be talking about ca-r-r-pets, as well'as picking up eicprasslons like "I-loot Mon" and "Och Aye". Before the war, the firm had no market in any part of the Americas. Now, they find they can't cone from Kilmamock with the flood of Cana- dian orders.

incenwill also serve the U. S. A.

(i. Summerside's future i-niportancel. as a business centre was accurate- ly forecast in the following ad- vertisement by "J. Weathi-hie",

dated May 10- 1856v which EPPFE" ' Outsidte: village. and he asked me

ed under the above heading in island newspapers of the period: l

"A most rare opportunity is; heie offered the Public. parli-. cularly Capitalists and Specula- tors, either in the Island or neigh- , bouring Provinces. The Sub-I scriber, now residing in the United States, here-by offers at privalcl

sale, either the whole or part of The hrst mate of the 'Mary Anne'.

his REAL ESTATE in Prince Ed-- ward Island. consisting. in part, of some 50 VILLAGE LOTS in the 1 village of SUMMERSIDE. Lot. l7,l in which is included about 900 feet along the Shore of the l-far-3' bar of Bedeque. and which is laidj out. in WATER LOTS. and the front secured with I Breast-work of considerable expense, and on which is the best location in the Village for a Wharf. On part of these lots stand Two DWELLINGI HOUSES, one 'STORE and WARE- HOUSE. and one Carriage Factury.i

"Immediately adjoining the Vil- lage is a FARM of about 90 Acres,, 50 of which is under a good statel of cultivation, and the balancel well covered with a splendidi growth of wood. There are alsoi a large BARN. and a FARM, HOUSE, Out Houses, a Well, and- a large Spring of Superior Water on the premises. This Farm being situated on the north side of Bede- que Bay, and gradually descend- ing south in said Village, render- ing the location pleasant: and, as it commands a full view of the Straits. with New Brunswick in the distance. makes it a very desir- able site for a residence; a large portion of which, however, will be required to supply the growth of the Village. and for Builclingi Lots in the rear. The property is second to none in the Island. in point of beauty and for healthy locations. Much might be said of the many business advantages. &c., of Summers-lde. and of its proxim- ity to Shediac. the terminus of the Rail Road: but it is presumed an intending purchaser will make himself well acquainted with all such information before closing such a purchase."

Mr. Weathrbie also offered for sale at bargain prices some 550 acres of land in Townships Nos. 15, 8 and 3, and two farms, subject to long leases and paying annually I39 I45. currency, in Lot 25. Pur- chasers were referred for further particulars to "P. Baker. Esq, Bedeque, or to Messrs. Beer 8: Son. Charlottetown, with whom plans of said Village Property can be seen, as also in the Registrar's Office."

This advertiser was no doubt a descendant of the "Mr. Weather- bie," Empire Loyalist, referred to in an article by John Molllson. 1905. as having been granted land adiolning the Green land at pre- sent-day Summerside, and was perhaps the same individual men- tioned in the following excerpt from George A. Laii-d's "Historic Bedeque," 1948: "Jonathan Weath- erbe bought (1833) the lease of I 100-acre farm at Central Bedeque from Joshua Morrell, and, on Baker property across the road, not far from the present.-day Call- beck store. started a business at the 'Cornei-' which. like all P.E.I. corners, soon acquired the name of the otorekeeper. Weatlierbe probably chose the site as central to the many relatives of his Upper Bedeque wife, Mary, daughter of the blacksmith. John Baker, Jr, A son of this marriage, Sir Robert Linton Wentherbe, Ilth Chief Jua- tice of Nova Scotla. was born at the Corner. April 7. 1837, and spent part of his early years playing in the store."

National leader of the Progres- sive Conservative party. George Drew,” spoke in terms substan- tiated by experience when he said in Saskatoon the other day that democracy works better un-

tcm than it does where a multi- tude of parties divides the vote. This has been proven in Canada, the United States and the Scan- dinavian couniries where two-party system has most con- sistently applied. The disadvan-

ltage of a plethora of parties has

been demonstrated in France and Greece where governments come and go sometimes with appalling rapidity because the

merit the power to remain long in office.

The one or mono-party system destroys democracy. World his- tory of the past thirty years alone has demonstrated that. The multi party system, as in France, may keep democracy supreme but it. saps its strength and makes it

ority group Red agitators. The two-party system, when each of the two is deeply rooted in the life of the nation and one -does not outweigh the other too heav- ily on the national scales, seems to bring about a happy medium.

; threatens totalitarianism, also free of the confusion and lack of sustained policy which in vote ltoo divided brings about. With these points demonstrat- 'cd by modern history, there is reason for satisfaction in the ap- lparenl two-party trend in Can- lada, as indicated in by-election votes. If the rccentiby-election iii Welland, 0nt., is evident of such a trend, there is reason to believe ,ihis, then the Progressive-Com servatives are on the come-back. Welland made a good laboratory test case because of its large la- bor population. The Progressive Conservative candidate Iailed of election. but at the same time ithcre was a strong gain over the llast election in the P. C. vote. The .Liberal vote was considerably less than in the previous election, but the C.C.F. or Socialist vote dropped from ll.000 to six thous- (and. The Red candidate dropped 'out of sight.

Canada will be the gainer through the strengthening of the Progressive party which has its roots deep in historic experience and the character of the Cana- dian people, and has strong as- sociations with the nation's pat- riotism and willingness and read- iness for self-sacrificing service in an hour of crisis and great need.
