The Campbell Government goes headlong into debt by estimating for "sums sufficient" instead of actual or approximate figures, ture should not only frown on this scuttling of Estimates but insist upon figures being given

judging by the key speech of Premier Camp- bell, the Beer and Wine Act is officially Lib- eral policy, and the faithful at the polls will be called upon to work and vote for it if they wish to sustain and maintain the Cioverniuetit. In

Canada's March exports of farm implements and machinery were double those of a year ago, totalling $860,233 in comparison with $430,852. The total to the United Kingdom was worth $377,143, the United States $220,468 and British South Africa $34,522. Exports during the first three months of I940 aggregated $2,020,575 in comparison with $308,802 in the corresponding period of I939. ‘ ‘I t

The newest slogan for Britain will be “Darn for Victory.” The government wants women to increase the life of stockings, dresses and un- derclothiiig by one third. l\lcu will turn the cuffs of their shirts when they become frayed instead of throwing them away. It is estimat- ed that if the life of such garments is prolonged by one-third, the value of goods set free for ex-

Wl-iat a fellow cannot understand is why Pre- mier Campbell was in a position to advise the Legislature that he had assurances that the li- quor interests would not attempt to interfere in the Beer and \\'ine plcbiscitt. Llp till practical- ly the day before the bill was amended, there was to be no plebiscite until four years hence. How come the Premier was in a position to rc- port that he had given the liquor iiitcrcsts ivarn- ing and obtained numerous lcttcrs assuring him that the firms with ivliich thc (jovcrniucnt did business would not interfere? On the face of it, it would appcar as though negotiations bctiveen the Government and liquor interests had been going on for some considcrzible time.
