~ I Tomorrow will be the second anniversary of Arnfistice Day, afday never to be forgottenbythe present generation, a day also that will be, emer- able in e l futurg history. The day Wlil call a p many memories; the longfour and a half years of agony, agony borne so long that we had become accustom- ed toithepailrof it; the frequyifintrahnost the 111N8- sant, always the expected stream-of telegrams, that darkened some home, that "broke some heart,—then" the armistice_ hostilities ceased, the enemy defeat- ed, and peace and the hoped for return of the boys. Surely the day will never be forgotten; surely it should be made a day of remembrance, a day ‘of thanksgiving. ‘ .

" Two years ago today men and women at home would have given much, some of them all, to end the war; two years ago tomorrow nothing mattered ex-- cept that the war was over. How this feeling was ex- pressed when word came that hostilities ‘had ceas ed those who sa‘w the scenes on the streets and in the homes will long remember. Remember? But how? In grateful remembrance for our deliverance? With gratitude that the war’s after scourge did not fall upon us in plaguararldfamine as it -did on Cen- tral Europe? In genérouslyl sharing ‘our bounties with those who are in need? Let us think it over to- morrow as we bow our heads in silence for two short minutes at eleven o'clock to commemorate the blessr ed silencing of the guns two years ago. .

AS OTHERS SEE US,

The staff reporter of the Mail and Empire who accompanied the Tariff Commission to Prince Ed- ward Island, gives an interesting report of. the pro- ceedings of the session at Charlottetown.

“There is such an atmosphere of Arcadian calm hovering over this quaint old province,” says the re porter, “that one is inclined to wonder that such a long-standing national problem as the tarifl’ could bring any flurryto the peaceful liyes of its citizensfi’. Yet, from what-he saw, the reporter concluded that "the Islanders have formed very rigid views regard- ing free trade, which they were unable to back up when it came down to the, essential feature of ‘furn- ishing statistics to show that the protective tariff '_ the handicap to development which they believed itto be.” » I ' " j

‘ Nothing could be further from the facts of the case than that Prince Edward Island is,‘ as the report er concluded it to “be ahotbed of free trade!’ As a matter/of fact Prince Edward Island farmers-are much more anxious that they should be given ade-

equate protection for their products such as pork, butter, lambs, oats_ etc- than that the duty on the few agricultural implements they buy once or‘ twice in a life time should be removed or reduced. Nor does the fact that Hon. Mr. Lea, who was chief spokesman for the provincial government was “un-- able to back up his views” prove anything except that Mr. Leaeither did not know what he was talk- ing about orthat. he wassimply talking forpolitical effect‘. ' "

So far asthe views of Prince Edward Islanders on the tariff question are concerned they are so well satisfied with existing conditions that they paid but little attention to the visit of the Tariff Commission. The provincial government it is true, put up a show of defence simply for political effect and even their friends now admit that they would have done much better if they had left it alone. There is not afarni- er in the province who does not know that their on- ly safeguard is the tariff wall that prevents the Un- ited States from flooding our home market andthey would especially-welcome the addition of suificient bricks to the wall to "exclude. pork, meat, butter eggs and other products in which they now find

themselves competing with United States farmers it]: our own home markets.

“As might have been anticipated," continues the reporter, “the tariff policies of Prince Edward Island are regulated almost entirely by the United Farmers of P. E. Island.” This also was an assum- ption with little foundation. The reporter was not aware that the United Farmers of P. E. Island, are a nebulous body very recently organized and so

‘far has promulgated no tariff policy. " Mr. J. A. Dewar, one of the witnesses, "is President, if not the whole organization, and his views on the tariff, if he has any, were not expressed before the Commission- As the re orter put it “he roved into sideissues and‘ demands greater railway accommodation for the benefit of the farmers,” and this roving iedhimin- to deep water out of which he was obliged to admit “that the farmers of the province have escaped with a" prettysljm trimming of their income."

f Here also Mr. Dewar and the other politicians

"who have preached and prophesied in the name of 4 _ y _ seriousinjusticeto the r0- vmce. ‘It was pointed out for the benefit of the on. Mr. Lea that the" statistics of the dominion show that the total income and business tax derived. from

Island amounted to only 15.54 cents
