‘the royalist cause, and the country began to grow tired of the turmoil. Venezelos was defeated and Ifled to Italy in I935, and once again the mind 0f the people turned toward the restoration of the lnionarchy and they asked their king to return. iThis he promised to do on condition that there was a plebiscite and an amnesty. Arriving back in Athens he was received with tumultuous ac- claim, and George ll ruled over his people as King of all the Ilellenes. Then Communism as- serted itself, but Metaxas was entrusted with full powers, introducing maity reforms. Greece then ibecaiue united as never before in her history. linglatid is called King George's “second home." This is the message llis Majesty gave the British on his restoration to the throne in I935:

"Un leaving England to return to my beloved country, l take the opportunity to thank the Bri- tish people for their hospitality- during my exile. I shall ever cherish the most pleasant memories of Great Britain and of the unfailing kindness and courtesy which I Iiave met there. The ties wliiclt unite Great Britain and Greece are historic, and it is my earnest hope that they will contintie to be :~———— as strong in the future as they have been in tlic

Prime .\liuistcr Churchill is latitletl, and rightly so, for his niastership of the telling phase and choice of the inevitable right word. It is altiiost impossible to resist (itiotiitg hint, when one seeks tn express what is in the heart of British people today.

Mr. Gardiner urged that fann- ers keep before them an objective of not more than 65 per cent. of last year's acreage. but It was also necessary to see that western farm income was not seriously drained. that. this ittcmne, to maintain the western economy. should not be leis than $325,000,000.

In every province of Canada. yes. In every part of t-he American cm- tlnent with the sole exception o! Prince Edward Island the workers are reflected by a state. law known as t e workmen! Compensation Act. What. is the trouble "._n tats Province? should the working men and women of this Province have the some statutory rotectlon as every other place on the contin- ent? Can the ple of this Pro- vince work and expose them- selves to the anger o! accidents without the ne y protection that Ls given '00 them In every oth- er place throughout the world? Ev- er" true Canadian feels sure mat we are In; to win this war. ut- us any t the war will last for three moire years, probably five That means that. ev~=~v man f‘“" woman In Canada will have to do some kind of work to help out our just. cause. In the munitlon factor- Ies of Canada. and the United Stalks the workers, both men, ant‘ women. are protected l~v so-vv’ "~- Islatlon. There Is no protection whatsoever in this Province. The opresslon of labor leads to Commu- nlsm. If Labor Is wronged or cheat:- ed of their rights they ‘ radi- cals and eventually Communism sets in. Organized Labor is the only real body to put down plague of Communism. Labor has succeeded In having legislation passed to control those high mind- ed radicals. When Labor In this Provlnce asks for honest and jusi legislation their request should re- ceive careful consideration. At the present time a. united effort should be made bv everyone. especially so by the unification between employ- er and emplovee. In all the other provinces of Canada the provincial Governments have statute legislat- Ion to protect their workers. If the workers are not protected a feel- Ing of discontentment arises and lt. might. have a tendency to affect our war efforts. In England, lab- or is well protected by stat-titorv laws and the Government consults ortzanlzed labour on Important questions. The same procedure Is carried on In Australia and New Zeriland. The only force needed to have Workmenk Compensation tn this Province Is men with courage tolpromote the Act. When the Act. i5 P1155911 and a board of commis- sloners are appointed everything will work smoothly. The Federal Government 1s now paying ten thousand dollars each year to the New Bninswlck Compensation Board for the protection of their employees on this Island. That money should and will be paid to our own Province when the Act Is recorded. I have e. letter dated March 1st from Petawawa. Ont. A member of the 8th Battery writes as follows: “I wish you luck on your efforts regarding Workmens Compensation. We all expect the Workmerrs Compensation to be passed at the coming session." The letter follows: "Our Island Premier can put this Act throu h without a hitch. He has the abll ‘ty and the oacklng. Keep rlght after him. I trust that. everyone will encourage the Government to enact this Just legfslatlon."
