Red Cross Meetings

The Prince Edward Island Division of the Red Cross Society is to be warmly congratulat- ed upon thc success of its efforts as shown by the reports submitted at thc annual meeting yesterday, This applies, of course, to the Junior Red Cross as well, which indeed merits special commendation and which, in crippled children’: work and other activities, has a record unex- cellcd by any part of Canada or the Empirc.

The broader phases of Red Cross work, both in Canada and throughout the world, were ably reviewed by Mr. Jackson Dodds, O.B.E., chair- man of the Central Committee of the Canadian Red Cross Society, and formerly general man- angcr of thc Bank of Montreal. Mr. Dodds stressed particularly the organization's war sc- tivitics, which arc increasing in proportion to thc nation's war effort in other directions, and are of vital importanca.

He referred also to the forthcoming cam- paign in which the people of Canada. will be ask- cd to contribute ten million dollars for the carrying on of this work. Our provincial quota has not yet been fixed, but judgin by put achievnmcnts and by the zeal and cf iciency of our Red Cross workers and campaigners, one can safely predict that every effort will be msdc t: ranch It successfully.

A Growing Menace

Reference has frequently been made In these columns to the growing danger of bureaucratic centralization. In this Province we are parti- cularly concerned with the effect of centraliza- tion on transportation and railway employment. A striking example is the centralization of all accounting departments of the Atlantic Region of the C. N. R. at Moncton. This change, long threatened, has been put through this week, rc- sulting in the removal of four local officials to Monctott, the transfer of others to other dc- partmctits, and the closing down of our ac- counting department here, making us more than ever subservient on Moncton in trans- portation matters. l

In other sections of thc Maritimcs other disad- vantages are to he notcrl The IIaI/fax Chronicl: (Liberal) has all outspoken editorial on this subject, from which we quote:

“Ccntralization gone rampant such as we have in Canada today can only be justified, if in- (lccrl it can be justified at all, on the grounds, of thc exigencies of war. On those grounds, and nmlc other, the people of thc Maritimes, in common with the people of the other provinces of Canada, have willingly accepted the measures which have l1ccn imposed.

"Ccntralization of this sort runs cqunter to thc lcttcr and spirit of our constitution. The British North America Act recognizes as funds- mental the preservation of provincial autonomy in a large number of fields of activity. The Fathers of Confederation were amply aware of the problems of geography. They knew that remote control in local affairs could lead only to disaster."

The Chronicle cites thc Rowell-Sirois report as recognizing this basic principle, and conced- ing as essential to sound government the pre- servation of the autonomy of the municipalities and the provinces within the framework of the federal system. It also quotes the Vancouver Sun (another Liberal paper) as denouncing the lack of understanding of local conditions on thc part of Ottawa authorities and declaring: "Agy movement which attempts to plan and

administer Canada entirely from the centft. will founder on the physical size and on the In- dgpendent spirit of the Canadian people.

If some of our Liberal representatives were as alert to this danger as the section of the Lib- eral prcss above quoted, there would be _more outspoken criticism in _Parliament. Until we have such champions in positions where they can speak and act effectively, there is little pro- spect oi arresting thc trcnd towards centraliza- tion, which threatens all our hardwon rights under Confederation. 1

Atletnpts to cheat the call-up by false health certificates is not confined to the City of Que- bec, as one would gather from the army sensa-. tion there. In Sydney, N.S., a business man was prosecuted and fined $500 with the alter- native of imprisonment, for attetnptitlg l0 ln- (lttcc two doctors to put his son in a lower cate- gory r119,“ that to which he was entitled. This is one reason why those called up should 1n every instance be made to face military panels instead of private practionccrs.

\\'e used to hear much about th: dfﬂmﬂllC comings and goings of the dictators; used t0 marvel at the way they held the initiative, rc- marks the Ottawa journal. But it is the demo- cratic leaders who are on the march now, who startle and stir the world's imagination and heart with their dramatic seizure of thc initia- tive. And the historic meetings in North

Here is advice that patriotic Liberal M. P. M. Pouliot has to offer his respected chief in the matter of recruiting: “If Selective Service wishes to do good work let it begin in Ottawa and make, one after another, a tour of the dc- paremcrlts and burcaux. It will find it casy to recruit thcrc in a radius of two miles front Parliament Hill an army of vain and useless desk-sitters thc greater part of whom are of military age and in flourishing health and have been in warm hiding since the war began." Of course, thc Prime Minister could “Iour" far-

ther and fare even better. 1s s- 111 u

North Africa as Britain's political representa- tive, was very unhappy over the appointment of Rt. Hon. Oliver Stanley to the Colonial Of- fice. As long as Viscount Cranbourne was the Colonial Secrctarv it meant that Capt. Mac- Millian, as Under-Secretary, was the sole Min- ister for the department in the Commons, thus giving him considerable importance. When Stanley became the Colonial Secretary it meant that Capt_ MacMillan was little more than s brief carrier for his chief. Qipt. Mac- Millan is s great character. There is a touch of Ouida about his appearance but he has a de- vastating wit. He once said about a Prime Min- ister who shall be nameless: "He is like a mighty beech tree under whose branches nothing grows." On another occasion he said: “The only man who ever had a practical plan for Parliamentary Reform was Guy Fawkes.” He served in the Guards in the last war, when he was badly wounded, but also had been on the staff of the late Duke of Devonshire ‘at Rideau Hall when he married the daughter of the boss — Lady Dorothy Cavendish. s: n1 n1 11- Mr. Thomas Alva Edison, American inven- tor, born this date, 1847; his inventions include phonograph, megaphone, aerophonc, cinemato- graph, incandescent electric lamp, electric light, rnicrolasimeter, carbon telephone transmitter, multiplex telegraph system, electric pen, electric railways, a submarine torpedo; during Great War I he turned his attention to the invention of processes for making dyes, medicinal and other chemicals in the U. S. formerly exclusive- ly manufactured in Germany: “There is no sub- stitute for hard work . . . Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits . . . There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the rcal labour of thinking . . Reason, justice and Equity never had weight enough on the face of the earth to govern the councils of men . . . We don't know one millioneth of one per cent about anything . . . Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration . . . The English arc not an in- ventive people; they don‘: cat enough pie."

Says “The Priiitcd Word"—Onc branch of the Government wants thc farmers in i943 to produce 28 per cent more hogs, nine per cent more cattle, 12 per cent more sheep, 29 per cent more eggs, six per cent more milk, and t1 per more potatoes. Another branch would draft all the young men from the farms, a similar branch would have young farm women join the auxiliary services, and still another branch is trying desperately to kccp prices from rising. It all adds up to food shortages, pre- sent and prospective. There is really no cure, but thc food industry the other wcck in Ottawa presented to nwmhcrs of thc Cabinet a proposal which might alleviate thc cvil. Ilnfortunatclv. the Prime Minister was not present; possibly for the reason that the food situation is here for thc duration, while the wife of the Presi-

One set of unhappy Individuals In this war against. the Axis gets nothing but brlckbnts from a1. sides. They are the censors. The war cor- responcents consider them as their sworn enemies, and the tales of their supposed ineptitude and stupidity are part of the legendary history of the war. But now and then the censors are able to score a victory which gets only a grudg- tlng acknowledgement In public, but nvhlch must g0 fur to compensate 1tlhem for the ungrateful nature of their task All accounts agree that: the Axis was kept guessing about the hlstorlc Roosevelt-Churchill‘ meeting and guessed wrong -asl usual. It guessed wrong about the place, about the participants and' about the results and In consequence broadcast wrong advance conclu-| slons which have been disproved by the facts.
