iiablnet Appointments

Congratulations are due to the Hon. Dougald MacKinnon, who took office on Saturday as Minister of Public Works and Highways in the Provincial Government, and whose ability and long experience in the Legislature well qualify him for this important appointment. Mr. MacKinnon had been a member without portfolio in the Campbell administration, and he sacri- ficed that position when his friend and colleague in the Fourth District of Queen's, Hon. J. Walter Jones, became Premier of the Province. Now that the Premier has intimated that he will be resigning shortly, it is desirable that Fodrth Queen's rep- resentation in the cabinet be continued, and certainly no more popular choice of an administrator could be made than that of the veteran member from Mount Buch- anan.

The other new appointees to the cabinet, Hon. Messrs. Keir Clark and J. Brenton St. John. have also won their spurs as legisla- tors and should make able representatives in the Government.

It is regrettable that Charlottetown's Liberal member, Mayor MacDonald, has not been included, but it is hoped that this omission will be remedied before the Legis- lature meets. His Worship's phenomenal success in public life speaks for itself, and he can rightly claim that the constituency he represents comprises the largest number of electors in the Province. 1-lis inclusion in the Government should certainly not be un- duly delayed. A

Premier Jones' reference to his retire- ment at a later date is interpreted as meaning that he has definitely decided gto accept the vacant Senate -appointment in the not distant future. His has been a strenuous career, and it is not surprising that after eight years as --Govemment leader he should be looking forward to less arduous activities. In the meantime, how- ever, there are many problems to be attended to, including the recommenda- tion to be made to the Lieutenant Gover-' nor with regard to the Premier's successor.

A Gilt-Edged Investment

Tomorrow morning a number of citi- zens will call upon the members of our business and professional community on behalf of the Charlottetown Festive Week Committee, requesting a contribution cover- ing their share of the advertising, general promotion, and actual carrying through of the comprehensive programme which has been arranged for the big week opening here on July 1st.

The details of the programme have ap- peared in the press, and have created a great deal of public interest. It is hoped to make Festive Week one of the most outstanding events in the history of Char- lottetown. Certainly it will attract a large number of visitors, and will undoubtedly be the means of stimulating business as well as drawing further attention to our unrivalled tourist attractions. .

On the success of this first Festive Week will depend its future continuance and en- largement as an annual event. The fund required to meet expenses is but 34,000-a modest investment, surely, in view of the possibilities and importance of this move- ment. , -

Britain's contribution

Two American military leaders have asked Britain to send more men to Korea. General Omar Bradley, chairman of the U. S. joint chiefs of staff, made the request in London, during a conference with Brit- ish chiefs of staff. Defense Secretary Mar- shall made it in Tokyo, after his visit to the battlefront. He expressed the hope that United Nations members generally would increase their Korean contributions, going on to make a specific reference to Britain.

It is hard. comments the Globe and Mall, to understand why Britain. of all UN members, should be singled out for this politely veiled criticism. I-fer contribution to the Korean War will bear comparison with that of any other country involved, an only the United States. so far from behind her associates in the UN, it they who have lagged behind her.

gaged in the Korean campaign; half of them ground troops, the other half sailors.

Malaya, fighting a war that has been going on a lot longer than the one in Korea. Moreover, she has 12,000 men .standing guard at Hong Kong, and we do not think Washington would want her to remove a single platoon of them.

At the same time, Britain is making substantial contributions to the defense of Western Europe. By fall, she is expected to have four divisions under General Eisen- hower's NATO command. Nor is this the end of her commitments. Defense Ministers of the Commonwealth countries are to meet this month in Malta to discuss military problems of the Middle East. Whatever plans are made there will rest most heavily on the United Kingdom.

Generals Marshall and Bradley might more properly direct their requests to Canada than to Britain. With one-third as much population as Britain, we have one- seventh as many men holding the line in Asia, and virtually none on duty anywhere else outside Canada. But even Canada could be passed over, in favor of some other countries which voted in favor of the 3UN's Korean resolution.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Twelve more days till Festive Week. 0 O I And now it is the flies and mosquitoes that are the menace! O I 0 Fires are avoidable, but it means both watchfulness and presence of mind. 0 O 0 One week yet remains till by-election day and probably in no previous election have the issues been more clearly placed before the electors. O O 0 Britain and the United States have reached agreement on a draft treaty of peace with Japan, about five years later than if the Soviet Union had wished to see a settled world. 0 O 0 It is regrettable that newcomers like the Balangers, Morell, should meet with disaster before they got very well settled. It is a blessing good neighbours were able to save the children from their burning home. I O 0 Beef and flour are still going up, along with everything else except potatoes. There should be a special anti-inflation medal struck for potato growers but for whom the cost-of-living index would be even high- er. 0 O 0 Hollywood is apparently out to show that its citizens are normal, red-blooded, hundred per cent Americans, whatever Con- gressional investigating committees may say. A bevy of stars, producers and writ- ers have been fined for playing draw poker. O O I

One of the merits of a policy of dis- persal of defence industry is that the in- direct effort of having to provide such things as transportation for workers in huge centers is very largely avoided when the work is done in cities of more modest Size.

Results of Nova sootials plebiscite: on whether beer and wine should be sold by the open glass in hotels and whether tav- erns should be opened showed varied re- sults. Sydney, which rejected both ideas a year ago, voted in taverns by 24 votes, but rejected hotel sale by 90 ballots. In Windsor residents voted 716 and 537 against both questions. In Ysrmouth, on the southwestern tip of the province, a whop- ping "dry" vote turned out to turn down both proposals by majorities of 1,327 and 1,118. Kentville, in the Annapolis Valley.

WELCOME SETTLERS

"Eighty settlers from the lCoun- ties of Norfolk and Suffolk, chief- ly labourers and mechanics, with their wives and children. arrived here on Saturday, in the Minerva from Ynrmouth. There are some farmers among them. with money to purchase farms. and several young women in search of places. They are a fine. healthy set of people, and seem in good con- dition. notwithstanding the.length of the passage. 57 days. With the exception of three individuals. they all mean to settle on this Islan:l.'

(Prince Edward island Register, Aug. 10. 1830.

The same newspaper, had occas- ion. on Aug. 31 following. to an- nounce that another arrival of new settlers, eighty in number, "from the same English counties. were landed yesterday (mm the 3811103 Venus from Yarmouth. Among them we noticed several respect- able looklng merchants and 1:81"!- culturists. with their wives and children."

To Tax News

(The Telegram. Toronto).

It appears obvious from the dc- bate in the House of Commons that the Government is determin- cd to increase sharply postal rates on second class mail in spite of mounting opposition and the dis- criminatory nature of the in- increases.

The burden that the new mail rates will impose on rural news- paper readers has been ably out- lined by Members of Parliament from all parts of the country. Postmaster General Rlnfret has simply adopted the attitude that the new rates are needed to meet. Post Office costs and the rural population of Canada must. pay.

There was, of course. no answer the Minister could give when ask- ed why the Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporstlon was subsidized. al- though competing with privately owned radio stations for advertis- ing revenue. The Government, in the past, has stated that the sub- sidy was justified on the boats of the need for radio news and en- tertainment in the rural homes of Canada.

He is silent today on this point. as he proposes A policy that will prloo newspopcro out of many such Conodlsn homes. Most news- paper: will not be able to absorb the extra mailing costs. which run as high on 166 per cent. in- creases in some cues. such on in- stance was raised in the House by a Member from Prince Idword Island. Passed on to the rural reader the new postal rates are nothing less than another bur- densome ond Ozhoiiy injurious in- direct Federal tax.

Prize Flour

(Winnipeg Free Press)

A pathetically ironic mmen- tary on the times is contained in a news item in the May 5 issue of the British flour trade publication. Milling. The item follows:

"A woman employed at a Shef- field mill who was questioned by a police officer in respect of some flour in her possession is stated to have told the officer. iIt's Canad- ian flour-better than you get in the shops! She was fined 521."

To Canadian housewives, accus- tomed without question to the best flour in the W0l'ld..li. must seem incredible that a woman would risk her job and the chance of a court. penalty simply for a little flour. Yet they perhaps would do the same if the best flour they could buy in stores could not, by law. have any more than 30 per cent of Canadian content. And even that 30 per cent. cannot all be top grade.

Doubly annoying to the British housewife and the Canadian farm-

loss of circulation weakens the democratic structure of Canada. News, local. national and interna- tional, should be made available to the widest possible audience.

By forcing through its new post.- al rates the Government is not only penalizing the rural popula- tion of the country, but is strik- ing a. blow at Canada's whole sips- tem of government.

er alike is the fact. that this Can- ndlan flour-J-so highly prized that a woman would steal it-is cheaper than the proportion of British flour In the mix. The British farm- er with his inferior wheat must be protected at all costs; a market is nenied to superior Canadign wheat; and a housewife-mill work- er is nned it because her natural preference for the better flour led her to break the law.

Now that the automobile has finally won out over the hone, we sometimes wonder just how some of our menfolk get any ex- ercise at all. in the old days. it took quite a bit of strength to overcome the occasional stubborn- ness of A husky team of horses. so even if A man rode to work, he got some exercise. Nowadays, however. the only exercise a man gets out of A car is the occasional time he is forced to ntemplste a flat tire. and then he probably calls the garage for assistance. The rest of the time he just sits at the wheel and steer: the car down the street. No effort at nil. No wonder there are so many people dieting or thinking of dieting these dayl. How can I person keep fit if he doelnlt get some exercise? We'd wager that it half the men who are or who should be on a diet would walk to work that their avoirdupois problem would be but a shadow of its former self.
