Notes by the Way

The pnnuei between the pro-wIr tensions which ended in the Great war and the European situation to- day is I matter of almost universal observation. why should not the processes which brought about war in 1914 operate to the same end in 1936? There is just one factor which may save the situntionuand that is the conception of preserving peace by collective action which was given to the world by the Great war. Impoicm, as the League has been, flouted and repudiated as it has been, it has yet succeeded in putting into the minds of the peo- ple of the western nations the idea that national power should not be applied to -the zurthering of partic- ular ends on national initiative but that it should be devoted, in con-'

of all the operations on the farm ploughing is the most important. Here it is that the earliest improve- ment.s of modern agricultural mech- anics have been displayed. At the Agricultural Extension Conference of Nova. Scotin, one of the high- lights was the discussion on plowing matches, and all were unanimous in its approval, and stressed the value to be learned by carrying on these matches. At the international plowing match held at Caledonia, Ont, last fall, forty thousand people attended, and one of the great Can- adian daily papers remarks rather in astonishment that such figures far exceed the best records set by championship hockey, baseball or football games, and that without expenditure for either bleachers or bnllyhoo. But after all why should not farmers turn out in large num- bers to witness an event which gives them a display of the best method of doing a job which is the basis of all good agriculture?

Britains Trade Surplus

An estimate of the net balance on all tran- sactions between the United Kingdom and other countries in 1935 has just been issued by the 'Board of Trade, writes l\lr. FRl£l)ERlC lluuu, Chief Czmadian Trade Commissioner in the United Kingdom, in the Commercial Intelligence Journal. This reveals a surplus on the credit side of 37,000,000 pounds, the first favourable result since 1930 when the credit balance was 28,000,- 000 pounds. 111 1934 there was a debit of 2,000,- 000 pounds while in 1933 receipts and out-goings were practically equal. The normal situation may be gauged by the fact that in 1928 the United Kingdom was a creditor to the extent o_f 122,- 000,000 pounds. Chief among the “invisible ex- ports" of the United Kingdom is the income ac- cruing to residents with investments abroad. The Imount which this is calculated to have realized in :9 5 was 185,000,000 pounds, or 10,000,000 ’ more than in 1934.

she fell and broke her arm. The Court of Appeal found FARRAR within his rights, maintained a Superior Court dismissal of A111-:L/moi-: C01.- LARD'S suit for $503.90 in damages for the injury to his daughter. Mr. Justice LETOURNEAU, deliv- ering the judgment of the court, admitted that FARRAR had utilized the "extreme limits" of his rights in expelling the young trespassers, and considered that gentler means might have been found; neverthcless,;ie *i;ou’r'1Ed the act justified.

"If the hour has come to ask the Imperial Parliament to give the Parliament of Canada the right to amend the constitution with the con- sent of all the provinces, the Imperial Parlia- ment should refuse to grant this power of am- endment at least insofar as civil rights, religious and educational rights guaranteed to minorities by the constitution are concerned,” Attorney- general PERRAULT said in discussion of recent conferences on the move to seek amendment of the British North America Act.

We are interested in our Island home, and we enclose I clipping from The Guardian of last April, which quotes from the Winnipeg Free Press that twenty million dol- lurs are sent out of the Maritime Provinces annually for food stuffs. Now can you tell us what we can produce of this food and get pro- ductlcn costs?

I am. sir. etc., JOHN B. MACFADYEN Augustine Cove. '

(ENCLOSURE) '

The Winnipeg Free Press (Lib- eral) which has long preached world_ trade as the only worthwhile econ- omic panacea, has discovered, with evident surprise, that this is not the question of prime importance with Maritime farm producers. Under_t.he caption “A Maritime Mystery" it notes that “while over- production is the world problem and while most of the other pro-

. viuces are diligently seeking outside ‘ markets for their surplus farm pro-

ducts, the under-production of food products in the Maritime Provinces still continues, and they are now buying $20,000,000 worth, yearly, from other parts of the country." It finds that Nova. scotin does most of the importing — about $16,000,000 wort.h—but that New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are also doing it in lesser degree.

"It will be incomprehensible to Western people," says the Free Press, “that such 9. strange situa- tion,sh0uld exist—and our western fnnners will regret that they are not nearer to the Msritimes and able to get in on some of the bus- lness.

“There is plenty of good land in the Maritimes, it can produce agri- cultural products of high quality, and there is a constant market. Yet the Maritime Provinces are not feeding themselves, but they pur- chase large supplies of food from Quebec and Ontario.

"Business in the Maritime Pro- vinces would certainly beneflt if these food supplies were produced at home and if the Maritime farm- ers received the millions of dollars that are spent on them. And with improvement in business there would be less unemployment and fewer people on relief. As it is. the imported’ fann products are partly used to feed the unemployed."

In "Nova. Scotis, the Free Press notes. there are thousands of deser- ted farms, and the amount 01 im- proved land has declined from 1,- 627,091 in 1871, to 842,632 acres in 1931: also that the number cf milch cows has fallen in 50 years from
