Dr. Manioii And The B. N. A. Act

One of the excuses offered by the King Gov- . . . . ,

ei-nniciit tor its tiiilure to tackle Canadas un- empliwinvnt and oihcr problems was inability to obtain Cllllsblll of the Provinces to revision 0f tlic l.l..\'..\. .\ct. This Mr. King and his cabinet colleagues PFHTCSSCIDTO regard as es- sctitial. lint the J/oiiclacv 11mm (Independent) rziiscs tlic itut-stion whether revision of the ll.N.:\. .'\ct is zit all necessary in order to ef- fect co-cirdiiiaiiini of effort between the federal and provincial authorities. "Dr. 3121111511," l! says, "does not think s0. We arc inclined to agree with him. In fact, we have held that view for a long time. First, because we believe that revision of the Act would be largely unsound. arid, second, because the problems to be tackled may affect one province more than another, or one Province to the exclusion of the rest, thus calling for special arrangements with these separate governing bodies."

The Illonclary Iii/tint says that in such mat- ters as labor and unciiitiloy-iiieiit relief a general revision of powors might be necessary, yet the whole affair boils down to the simple question of whether govcriiing Iiodics in the Provinces and the Dominion are prepared to settle their mutual problems 0n a sound business like basis.

"Dr. Blrinion," it adds, "believes that they prc. At least his government, if the electorate decides to give him a mandate to form one, Wlll be fully prepared to scriotisly tackle these problems with the Provinces directly involved. That was the gist of his statement made during a. speech dc- livcred at Brandon, Manitoba. The develop- merit of progressive solutions to the problems now groviing ever ittore intense because of the impasse fCIICllCfl between Dominion and Provincial jurisdictions, and the careful guardmgof aged rights, is surely a matter of constructive com- promise. lf Dr. .\l:tiiion has reached the point where he. can procccil in that fashion, he has already outstripped his opponents in his flllllk. ing and in his rcti-ouahlc approach to domestic problems."

Shojuld Not Be Forgotten

There is no doubt that it would have been resented by the British people. If Prime Min- ister Chziinberlziiit ever attempted to scuttle the British Parliament (and tlic thing is utltliiiik- able) his Government would last only until the British people got a chance at it at the polls.

Reading For Stalin

There is a new edition of“Mein Kampf" out in Germany; and according to the correspondent of the Danish “Politiken", it retains all the ori- ginal remarks about Russia. It is reasonable to suppose that, under the new (lispensatioii, a pre- scntation copy will go from Berlin to Moscow to “Dear 10c, from his admirer and undcrstudy, Adolf."

Joe, if he takes an hour off to read his friend’s book, will learn that the enormous "Reich in the East" is ripe for collapse, and the cud of jew- ish suzerainty will be the end of Russia as a State. “We are ilcsigiizitcd by fate to witness a catastrophe which will he tlic most complete consummation of tlic correctness of otir na- tional race theory."

Aud turning the tiagcs, his eye will light on this golden passage:

"It must never be forgotten that the present rulers in Russia are low, blood-stained crimin- als, and that it is hcre a (tucslion of the scum of humanity who, favored by conditions in a tragic hour, ltnockcd over a big State, wiped out millions of its intelligentsia in a wild blood lust, and have now, for about tcn years, exer- ciscd the most grucsoute tyranny of all little."

Mr. C. S. Bissett, Canadian Trade Commis- sioner, Havana, reports that “it is doubtful whe- ther the entire loss of Germany's market in Cuba will greatly benefit Canadian exporters. Some benefit will doubtless accrue providing Can- adian manufacturers of certain commodity groups take advantage of tlic opportunity af- forded.” The United States will, no doubt, be- cause of its preferentztil position obtain the bulk of Germany's former trade to Cuba. "How- ever", says Mr. Bissctt, "a certain share of this trade can be obtained if Canadian producers’ selling agreements permit tlicni to quote for this market. Another important factor is the tariff treatment accorded by Cuba to Canadian goods. Provided that it can be assured that the Cuban minimum tariff will apply continuously and not be changed annually to sortie higher tariff basis. as has been the case for several years past, coli- linuity of sales can be built up and something other than a casual foothold in this market can be established."

According to Dominion Bureau of Statistics, hog production and iuarltetings in Canada in I940 will be the largest recorded in the history of the industry. This forecast is supported by reports of ‘numbers of hogs on fzirnis, the size of the fall pig crop, intentions to market hogs during the spring of I940, and by the expected increase in the I940 spring pig crop. Numbers of hogs on-farins at December I, I939, totalled 4,769,600 as compared with 3.508.600 at Decent- ber I, I938. Not only is this tlic largest nniii- bcr recorded since the December surveys were instituted in I931, bitt it also exceeds the num- bcrs recorded at June l with the exception of 1924. 'l‘~his situation is more significant be- cause tioruizilly June numbers are higher than those in December. The nniubcr of hogs in- tctidcil for fllrui slaughter and for uillrlcct in the period December i939 to May i940 is 4o per ccnt greater than the intentions for the same period a y/cnr ago. Commercial miirkctings (luring tlic first eight wi-cks of I940 are near- ly 42 pcr cent grclilcr than .iu tlic first eight ‘Willis "f 19.5‘). llascd on reports of the inim- bcr of sows expected to farrow, the spring pig crop of I940 will be 35 per cent greater than the spring pig crop of i939. This, of course, will mean increases in_ni.'u"ki-Iiugs in the late sum-

mer and throughout the fall of I940.

THE HIBLIO FORUM i

KING'S COUNTY’S “WORST ENEMY"

Sin-If Dr. Grant had any sense or any regard for the feel- ings of many of his constituents, particularly those of George- town. Senator Sinclair would be the last man in the world he would have invited to assist him at a meeting there. The Senator was, and probably is, the worst political enemy King's County has ever had. .

When Senator Hughes was struggling to get a frost-proof potato warehouse built at Georgetown Senator Sinclair, then n menilicr of the King Government, was opposing him in every possible way. By devious methods Mr. Sinclair had the construc- tion of the warehouse delayed for a year and then tried to have it postponed indefinitely. It was at this crisis that Senator Hughes made a special trip to Ottawa, taking with him Leith Poole of Montague and the late Frank Sciilly of Georgetown. These men succeeded in convincing Mr. Elliot, then Minister of Public Works, that a frost-proof potato warehouse at Georgetown was essential to the proper development of the potato industry of the Island, and therefore would benefit the whole Province. Mr. lilliot promised thcm the warehouse would be built and it was, notwithstanding opposition of Mr. Sinclair and others. And here I may mention that the late Mr. Hyndman, then Provincial En- I gineer of the Public Works Department, gave all the assistance ‘he could to the idea of a warehouse at Georgetown, and his help was of great value.

By inviting Senator Sinclair to his political meetings Dr Grant not only endorses the man’s opposition to the Georgetown warehouse, but he approves of his whole attitude towards Kintfs County. The electors of Georgetown would have been justified in refusing Mr. Sinclair a hearing, but they were too courteous for that. Thcy may, however, on election day, show Dr. Grant what they think of him and his chosen friend.

“WHAT IS BEHIND THIS ELIZCFION ?"

Sin-Lei us look a little deeper into the present situation, not just listen to all we hear on the election platform, both radio and otherwise thereby forming a snap judgment, or being swept away by feelings of party adherence. Instead let us take a clear- sightcd view of things, iinobscured by any mist of leanings to- wards a party Il0\V in power, or those who are trying their bcst to attain that position. '

What was the motive behind dissolving the Government of the people in such a high-handed manner, without a moment's notice, without the advice, suggestions or co-operation, of those who were in a position to voice their opinions, and who formed the nucleus of the people's representation-all but one nian-“he dissolved Parliament"?

Wits it that this Party Leader was afraid that the weight of opinion would overrule what he intended to be a quick shuffle, to throw the different opposing units iiito a state of consternation from which they would not have time to recover?

“TAXATION"!

Nothing has been hezird of the increased taxation, sure to conic. “ls this the crux of the whole situation?" That in a subtle way, one lczidcr. wary, and not sure of his chances of returning to Ottawa as the head of the Government, should a necessary move be made in this direction, with an election inevitable, at a not (listzuit date. scuttle the Ship of State, and take a chance in the Eli-ction Lifcboats. in a turmoil not only within the Party, but dissatisfaction from many other sources as well.

ls l\Ir_ King trying to put a fast one over on the people, by doing the clcctionccriug first, “The 'l‘axation Afterwards"? which would ensure another four years as Premier if returned as Government Leader, though at the same time, afraid to call 0n his colleagues regarding his intended action, or to consult them on prorogiling Parliament further.

What can the people expect when things have been dragging on from month to month, without any perceptible progress on the Governments part to alleviate, or work out basic solutions to the problems vitally affecting the consumcn-“the one who always pays the pipcr"—P

What have the people to look forward to after the election is over. in the event of this same Party being returned to power, what wurd have you heard about forthcoming taxation, that word would scent to be banned around election time?

What excuse has been advanced to the people, for plunging the countrv into a general election, where millions of dollars of “the peoples money” will be spent to find out if the electgratg have any confidence in the present administration? “There's a nigger in the woodpile somewhere", it would seem that “fax. ation" is about the top stick.

The issue is not so much solidarity where the people's feel- ings are concerned regarding close Empire relations, or the suc- cessful fulfilment of our aims where unison of war effort, and our assistance to the Motherland arc concerned, that has already been definitely proven.

_ Would it not seem that this is a case of election firstl Tax- ation afterwards l-the latter would not be so easily explained away ‘on an election platform?

Little or nothing is heard from the h0t15g on the hi1] in Ottawa, about rising commodity prices, and how that part vitally affects the farmers, who still continue to market most of their products at a loss.

_ What do we hear of the ways and means to offset this serious situation? Every Eastern farmer can tell of the loss he has sus- tained, by a hog being too long, too short, too broad, too heavy shouldered, to be in the select class and has had to accept from one dollar to one dollar and fifty cents dockage. In cases where “WY Pay Cﬂrtflge to market, one dollar is the usual charge, on the other hand his time plus horse and sleigh would amount to even more than that.
