Shelved Again

M

Parliamuit has prorogucrl and the Can- adian flag uucstiun has been shelved oncc tnore. \\'h.n was the UlllﬁCl of the lotig-winded debate on this question, and whose interests were scrvcd by thc shzuloiv-boxing Prime ;\lin- istcr [Qing \\{l.\ tloitig", (luring lllr,‘ heal of last June's Fctlvwtl t-lcction, in promising Canada would have a itational, distinctive flag?

The issn. was of small importance to this lection of Canada, where thc opinion is prcttv

general that tlu- Union lack i. good enough to gut itlnllg nniitr, at lcas: until more prcssiitg pruhlcnls lli1\{' hct-n solved.

But that was not Mr. King's idea. So, as

soon as Parlizunciit nict, he appointed a Sen- zttc-tlnnnmns connnilwc lo pass on designs for l ncw flag. suiibolic of thc Canada of today. Mcatiwlnlc, 11> a gcsturc of some kittd or other, Mr. King nrtlt-rcd the .\l9l‘CllZ\Ill Marine en- sign flown fruit. the Peace Tower, even though the full lfnion lack was flying from other gov- crnmcnt buildings in (lttawa.

The committee would seem to have wasted (lnlv a minority cvcr considered rc- moying the Llnion Jack from the Canadian flag, and the zirgumcnts, pro and con, were concern- ed not aboti‘ a flag, but about the symbol for the Hag. 'l"hc connnitttic is now disbanded, with no conclusion rcachcd. Probably it doesn't mattcr an_v\\‘a\. liut to people scriotisly c011- cerncd abou: the state of national affairs,- the timc wasted in Parliament over this farce was truly lamentable.

Subsidized Too

The Central Provinces are complaining that the Maritime coal industry is subsidized out 0f the taxes of the people of Canada. The Sydney Port-Record has a good answer to that. “Do those people who givc vent to these cries,” it asks, "ever remember that there are very heavy subsidies paid lo the production of electric pow- er? It is estimated that the failure of the Do- minion Governmctit to impose taxation on the Hydro Commission in Ontario, on the same scale that taxation is imposed on coal-produc- ing companies. means a loss to the Dominion Treasury of some $25 million a year. As for Quebec, a contrast between this situation in Gjntario and the taxes paid by private power companies of Quebec has led to the Provincial Government taking over onc of the large power companies, so that. it will save Dominion taxa- tion. The savings are estimated at $8 million a year.

“Now, the ability of Eastern and West- em Canada to sell coal in Central Canada, after paying transportation costs. is much affected by the price at which electric power is made avail- able in Central Canada. Obviously, if the Do- minion Government subsidized electric power production, while failing to impose the regular amount of taxes on it, the subsidy goes in the direction of limiting the market for coal from other parts of Canada.

"It is just as well to keep this in mind, when the cry is raised that coal production is being subsidized by the Dominion Government. So, for that matter, is the production of elec- tricity, whcrevcr the Provinces have decided to run this production on Socialist lines."

Sealing Playing Out

The sealing industry of Newfoundland, punctuated with a long history of adventure and tragedy, apparently i.s fading into the rug- ged past of the island. An explanation of its virtual disappearance is the cost of ships which, with 111C C-Wehlivn of the stecl steamers first uscd in I003. can be employed only two months and not bc l‘.\'"ll in other work during the rcst 0f lhﬁ Ycllli Ylhc last flcct to sail for the ice- fields was m 1941,

That 91¢ industry is practically obsolete is obvious from the figures 0f ships and men employed-An 1006 thcrc were 25 steamers and 1,460 mcn. ln 193!» thc catch was about 150,- 000 scals, vilucd at around $200,000.

Whcn scal hunting was one of the import- ant factors in tlic itidustrial life of St. Iohn's. in I355, the St. lolurs Seal~skinncr§ Union was formed. ll is lhc oldest trade union org- anization in Newfoundland, and one of the oldest in the New World. ln those’ days, when a man could skin 300 or (450 seals in nine hours or so, Ne\\foundlzlntl was exporting 44o,- 828 sisal skins zinnnzilly. The gradual decline of tho industry i.- >lltl\\'ll in the figures for seal skins crcporlcd. ln I805 tlp; numbg] was 81,. out); 440,828 in i850; 203,858 in 1900; 133,- 689 in 1936. The largest figure is for the Earl" Ycar of I331, when £186,836 found outside markets, and the lowest fjgure was in 1920, with 33,985.

“If we really wanted social security, most of us could have made cur plans accordingly years ago, (says Tlic Printed Word). There is no reluctance on the par: of insurance agents to show us how we can build up an estate, pro- vide for our old age, meet the cost of unforc- seen accidents or illness. lt is true that to pav the premiums for a risk free existence entails for most of us the renunciation of some im- mediate pleasures. In time the voters may realize that there are premiums to be paid on state plans of social security, and that they en- tail the same renunciations”

St. 'l'h0mas's Day, falls on the winter's solstice, the shortest day in the year, as expres- sed in the coupler:

Sit. Thomas gray, St. Thomas gray, Thcdongest night and the shortest day.

The seven days preceding, and the _sc\'en days following the shortest day, were called by the ancients Halcyon Days, as expressive of a period of tranquility and happiness, the term being derive-l from the fable that during that period the halcyon bird, or kingfisher, breeds, and the sea was always calm for the purpose, she hatching her eggs on a floating nest in the midst of the waters, Dryden thus alluding to the notion:

Amidst our arms as quiet you shall be,

As halcyons brooding on a winter's sea.

The European demand like that of the rest of the world is mainly for essentials such as textiles and household goods, and British manufacturers are turning out these goods as fast as they can. At the same time industry is showing a. remarkable versatility in meeting the widening demand for non-essential, luxury goods. A flying horsebox is the latest pro- duct designed for a specializcd market-racc- gocrs. Intended for the transport of racc- horses, it has been developed by a United King- dom aeroplane company as orie of the many uses for their new plane. A prototype will be shown this month and the plane will be in pro- duction by the new year. The flying horsebox opens up the prospects of the runners for next year's Derby or Grand Prix being flown from their stables to the course on the day of the race. This system of horse transport will probably prove very popular since horses do not suffer from air sickness. The idea is not a new one-mules and pack horses were trans-

ported by air to Burma t0 assist the British Fourteenth Army in jungle war. It! 11 i1 1i Sweeping charges that graft, corruption

Mr. jiggs Observes An Anniversary

(Time Magazine)

It was a party Jlggs would have mightily enjoyed. Into the lofty grand ballroom of Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria, shirt-sleeved waltz- ers, sweating, bumping against chairs and calling hoarse warn- ings. ferried outslze trays of com- ed beef and cabbage. Powers mod- els swlrled among the 1,081 guests. handing out clay pipes. On the stage, aging Funnyman Arthur ("Bugs") Bser cracked wise, a line of Bloomer Girls pranced through a dance routine, Bing Crosby crooner! Tbo-ra-loo-ra-lno- ml. and then Morton Downev sang it again.

When ll: was over, the guest of honor, a fat, button-nosed oldster who is regarded by his cronies as the splt and image of Jiggs, nustled buck to work. George Mc- Mimus was a lltt-le worried at taking two hours for lunch, even ll Mr. Hearst was paying the blll.

The Waldorf-Astoria luncheon celebrated a comic-strip mile- stone: McManus had started Bringing Up Father ln the old New‘ York American exactly a third of a century ago. Its durabil- lty was a monument to the public! tolerance of a stereotype endlessly repeated. and to Publisher Hearst's taste in comics. Most readers were Jiitss had never changed ln all the years they had read lf. But lt wasn't so: the women's dress styles 1n Jfggs had advanocd to circa I928, and Jiggs himself looked qulte differ- ent from his first appearance 1n 1912.

O I I

Silk-batted Jfglzs had made Mc- Manus a “tell-dressed millionaire —and had chained hlm to a seven- day week. In Manhattan last week to attend the lunch and to sign a contract for a series of Maggie and Jimzs movies. McManus borrowed an office. There he and assistant "Zeke" Zekley scratched away to k-eap up to date on the daily and Sunday strips for which more than

Nobody who reads Bringing Up Father can be sure whether Jllzrts is a flrsl name or a last (Mc- Manus doesn't know either), or how Jlggs made his money (Mc- Manus thlnks he must have been an Irish contractor. since so many of his friends are liod carriers and steel workers). But of some thlruzs they may Ir sure. like their Jlgﬂs can't stand his wife's friend-s. lives 1n daily fear of her well-aimed rolling pln and crockery, but. will never hlt back. And there will never be a contlnued story in Jlggs. ‘Says McManus: "I g1 day."

The first strip McManus dld was a slapstick called The Newlyweds. Last. year old Mr. Hearst. got to Icmemberlnaz 1t — even though he couldn't. remember its name — and ordered the artist. to resume "that strip With the baby." S0. since January. the Sunday Jigs: strip has had Snookums and the Newly- weds at lts top. Hearst once told McManus that "rushing llrowler" was out, since subscribers ln dry states might be offended to see the characters lugging cans of

the beer. Pretty won came a wire from Kansas: ‘I fold you to take out the liquor.’ Sometimes I think all he looks at ls the comics."

Cash For Potato“

(Winnipeg Free Pren)

As trade negotiations begin among the important. trading nap tlons of the world much will be heard of multilateral trade as dls- tlnct from bilateral trade. These are formidable words and the man on the farm or ln the towns ln trying to understand] them will receive little aid from a standard dictionary.

An excellent explanation of both was given by M. W. Mﬂﬂkenllﬂ. deputy -mlnlster of ‘Trade and Commerce, in a recent address at Montreal.

"When a farmer takes a load 0! potatoes to sell at a market," said Mr, Mackenzie, "he sells his produce for cash. With thls cash he can 8o to the grocery, the dry- loods store, or to the lmplement dealer, and use hls cash to buy what he needs. He can spend his money where he wishes.

"He doesn't have to spend lt with the man to whom he sold hls potatoes; and with money In hls purse, he doesn't have to dlo ker with each merchant from whom he buys to flnd out how many pounds or bushels of pota- toes he must trade ln for aplouqh or a baa of flour, or a pulr of shoes, or anything else he needs. Because he has cash that ls gen- erally acceptable he is ln a posit- lun to carry on what ls really multilateral trade."

Put Canada in the position of that farmer and the various nut- lons of the world ln the position of the various merchants and storekeepers and the meaning of these two trade terms becomes clear. Under multilateral trade, the money of the various coun- tries ls interchangeable, The pounds sterling receivcd f0!‘ our exports to the Unlted Klvuz- dom can be used to pay for goods bought ln Belglum, China. the United States and so on. Under the bilateral system, our trade with each Indlvldualcountrywould have to be balanced separately just as the farmer would have to make separate deals PY- changlng hls potatoes for what he needed from each merchant. The advantage: of the multilateral syl- tem are obvious.
