A READY MADE BUSINESS!

Sir,-—.-\nother outstanding fact, which is a glaring example of indifference, incompetence, or lack of cooperation to every l‘i"i111-1- |-Iil1r:ii"1l lsliuulcr, is the way ouf Island boys liuvc bci-ii fCglllIUlllCd itito units iii the sister Provinces, when amount could have been housed and kept in training liere,.1vliere they would spend not only their Army pay, but where the cater- ing for their meals could have been done by Prince Edward Is-

l."ii1dcrs.

.\ll other necessary supplies (excepting Army could also have been supplied by Island firms, both wholesale and retail, who seem to have their shelves well stocked.

\\'e still produce, eggs, butter, meat, cheese, bacon, fish, here. :1111l if more units had been housed and trained oii our own soil. this would hzive been a big revenue producer for many who are keen business uicn, always on the lookout for the opportunity of expanding their business, and also for every farmer and fisher- man in the Province. A Business Already Established!

No doubt the cry will be forthcoming, “\Ve could this; it ivould disrupt our training, keep units in sections iustciid

of iii their entirety."

There is such a thing as trading. For the units made up in the sister Provinces different types or mobile units could be housed and trained here just as easily as elsewhere, for instance, “air force squadrons"! etc., tlien instead of all our boys enlisting and being trained elsewhere, we would have some satisfaction in knowing that P. E. Island was having some units sent here to

train.

What are otir Parliamentary representatives thinking about? Have they once more been sleeping?

Surely our Liberal Government here which has unanimous majority has enough power, and practically no opposi- tion, to act in the interests of our Province in this capacity. This is one time when the lack of a. clear majority does not enter into

the situation.

Surely they intend to use some vision, whereby Prince Ed- ward Island will iii some way be the recipient of a certain amount of prosperity, through the huge sums that are spent for military training, and supplies, and the necessary other expenditures. that are the outcome of this vortex, in European affairs.

\\'e sec in our papers from time to time, news of the large contracts that arc let in other Eastern Provinces for supplies. How many such contracts have found a resting place on Prince Ed-

ward Island?

It would seem that even though a parliamentary majority may be almost tiiiaiiimoiis. unless keen business instinct has been iuculciitcil iiilo t;11vc1"iiiur-iit Departments both Dominion. and strictly adhered to by the members of both units working in close cooperation with each other, the Provinces who are quickest to take advantage of this obvious situation are the ones who l'('1’l]1 the benefits. whilst those \vlio are content to go uloug in thi- siiiiic lazy iiiziimcr are the losers.

It will be worthwhile news to know where we stand in coni- parisou with other Provinces in this kespect.

If the people's representatives here both in House and the Island Legislature as well, are laboring under the delusion that the firms or individuals interested can do all that is ueccssaiy in the capacity of bringing contracts for war sup- plies to this Province without their help, and are content to mere- ly sit on the sidelines, more as spectators of what is passing by our iloors, it is time they were prodded in a vulnerable place, to force them into action. No time like the present, contracts for food supplies let either wholly or in part, are lost to this Province the moment they are placed elsewhere.

\\'l1y not add some of this business to the right side of our books, when the time is opportune, not just go looking for busi- uc-s riftcr it has been placed, or letting others skim all the crcaiii lt-iniiig only skim milk for Prince Edward Islanders. If the truth enormous volume of business, this Province is not evedgetting what one would term skim milk. benefits to be derived ziffi-cis every individual oii this Island from the farmers on the luud. the ll.sll(‘I'llI€II oii the water, the factory owners, the caiiners, i111 their employees, to the clerks in the stores everywhere, who iii turii, are depending on their representatives on P.

Let the iueiiibors of our Island Legislature, together witl-i the iiicuibcrs of our Liberal Party who are seeking election or rc- election, take the huge figures already expended for war supplies and foodstuffs, and let us know where the totals were spent; also 11111111 Provinces are the ones who are benefiting most by the ciior- iiioiis 11111111)". tlur purtiou iii this distribution would bc irorih mentioning, and will continue to be in that category, if co- operation and business ingenuity are not used by both tlie Provin- i-iiil Legislature and the Dominion representatives, from this Is- l:111<l l‘i"o11iu1'1-, ivorkiiig in conjunction with one another.
