Creating “Egg Consciousness"

A strong appfiill for a coast-to-coasf cani- paign to increase egg consumption, and thereby solve “the most pressing problem confronting every poultry raiser in Canada today,” is made in the current issue of “Canada Poultrymanf’, a Vancouver publication. The present situation, ll: is stated, has become serious. Coniparcd t0 1930 ta ilcprcssion year) salcs of eggs through- out Canada have dccrcziscil by the astounding

{hey ][~f‘(l In he? The .'niswcr is an emphatic negative in liofli cases. The oiic inain cause, ac- cording tn “Canada Ponltryiiian," is poor mer- chandiiiigiiig methods. For proof of this it maintains, one has only to study how all coiii— pcting foodstuffs are sold, and how those rc- sponsihlc for thcir movement advertise.

As a stimulus to the industry, the Vancouver journal suggests that the Federal Minister of Agriculture be petitioned to procure an ad- vertising appropriation of $100,000 with which to increase the sale of eggs. It adds: “\Vlieri it is considered that the same means have already been taken by the Fishery industry, and-by other divisions of the agricultural industry, it will be realized the request is justified and its fulfill- ment deserved. Large sums arc sct aside to ad- vertise Canadian products overseas, and Wllllt’ this may be good business it is undoubtedly of

greater importance to cater to a market that.

is admittedly the best we ever had-the home market."

Millions More In Taxes

Noted with satisfaction in the current 0f the Canadian Liberal Monthly is the lowing:

Iiinance lilinistcr Dunning closed his books March 31 at the close of the Government's fiscal year with substantial increases from the income tax and customs and excise collections.

The income tax yielded $120,365,531 in the fiscal year, an increase of $18,000,289 over 1926-37- _ ,

Net collections from customs duties, excise taxcs and excise duties totalled $319,046,053. an increase of $33,70I,5I7 over the previous I2- yrionth period.

Net customs duties totalled $91,636,781, an increase of $9,584,821; excise taxes $174,451,- 397, an increase of $28,852,022 and excise duties $52,162,116 an increase of $6,181,051.

in view of these houyant revenues, Mr. Dunning should be able to announce a reduc- tion on the Sales Tax, at least to the level at which it was when the King Government took office.

The Chignecto Canal

Our old friend the Chignecto Canal proposal has come into the limelight again. The St. john N.B. “Citizen” recalls that a. few years ago there was a definite move toward having some- thing done about the construction of this canal, which was to connect the Bay of Fundy with the Northumberland Strait, thus giving an in- land waterway to the ports of the St_ Lawrence

and Great Lakes. The movement died after a royal commission had found that the project was {feasible but that it was not ivarranted at that 1 time.

,5 The question of building the canal, says the ,‘,"Citizcii", is being revived and it is being point- jjed out that in these unsettled times it would be flwcll to have such a canal in order to provide 2 shipping facilities between the Maritimes and lithe Central Provinces in case 0f war. Goods flictivcrn these sections, it is claimed, could be ‘ii handled more cheaply by water than by rail z and bnfh Rlaritime and Central producers would sllfill-Cfll’. \Vhat the next move in the matter will gbe has not bccn announced but it is predicted w; that the claims of those backing the idca of the v canal will again be pressed on the authorities, j probably as- a relief work.

Realistic Imperialism

Recalling the comparatively recent campaign against the "economic imperialism" of the Em- pirc trade agreements, and the many occasions on which imperialism was associated with the policies and sentiments of Premier Bennett in a ilerrogatory and stint-ring sense by those now in pnwcr in this country, we can read between the Jincs of the following timely editorial in the Hamilton Spectator:

“It is iloubtful if any tcrm bandied about on tlic public platform. has caused more misunder- standing. more prejudice or more uneasiness in Canadatlian that of ‘imperialism.’

"That it should convey generally a sense of aggression and arrogance is due not so much to its application to racial dominance in the past. as to ifs excellent utility in stirring up sectional prejudice, In the Dominion the politicians who have used this catchcry to impress on the pub- lic the danger of being suddenlyembruiled in oyerscas strife have dime their work well.

wealth of Nations carries with it no disillusion- ment, and it does in actual fact secure within its borders peace, and about as much individual liberty as we are ever likely to see...I am not an imperialist in the archaic sense of the term. . . I am a realist.’

“If there are any imperialists in the ‘archaic sense’ left, then their contribution to steering Canada to a logical position in its foreign policy would not be of much value. Blind patriotic fervour is not enough. No oratory is needed to stress the need for a. united front of the nations of the British Empire in safeguarding principles of far greater than national significance.

public men who have been leaders in bringing up the bogey of ‘imperialism’ had fertile fields for their work. The reaction after the Great

ing-illusive as it may have been—-of safety from danger in this part of the world, made it profitable from the angle of the ballot, and it could be said in all fairness that this revulsion from the thought of another conflict was not confined to Canada.

“But the situation has changed so greatly in the last twenty years that “archaic" imperialism no longer applies. New forces are at work; new dangers threaten more boldly than was con- ceived to be possible. Why then cannot our political leaders accept this in the realistic sense? No part of the Doniiiiion’s public asks for com- mitments or for :u1_v (lcfinitc alliances. llut thu public is undodubtedly agreed on the need for a worthy contribution to a common defence which is at once not only the best safeguard of peace, but an hanourable national stand. '

“The vacillation and hedging to which most of our lcatlers succumbed in the last few years have not helped to give any sense of protection or pride to the people of the Dominion. It has only created a vague fear of such ill-defined and outworn dangers as the net of ‘imperialism’. It is up to them to remedy it.”

The Dispensary Appeal

The Charlottetown Dispensary is making its annual appeal at this time, and it is hoped that, as on other occasions, there will be prompt and generous response on the part of our citizens. Envelopes are being distributed todav and will bc collected on Monday. The need this year, in vicw of the distressing unemployment situation, is urgent. Everv cent donated to this worthy cause will be well expended.

Europe is not the only territory suffering from drought. Bermuda had only half as much of a rainfall in March and April as it had last year, and thcre is now a waterfamine. "Many methods may be resorted to to make the supply go further," says a government notice. “Water used for bathing and washing can be conserved and used in buckets for flushing. Salt water may be used for flushing where houses are situ- ated near the shores of the colony. Sea bath- ing-may-be resortccbto-now that the weather ls warm, instead of fresh water baths." The Gov- ernment is arranging to import fresh water from New York, which will be sold at cost, plus trans- portation charges.
