"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink."

CllARl.U'l"l'Ii'I'UWN WEDNESDAY. MKY 11. 1950 Our Oay At Ottawa

Yesterday was "Prince Edward Island's day before the Royal Commission on Transportation at Ottawa. and it proved not only a provincial hit, but a national one as well. for it launched a policy of un- restricted nationalization of Canadian rail- ways. Other provinces ignored this issue, and Saskatchewan went only part of the way, merely suggesting that the possibilities of nationalization should be studied. The is- iand case was in the capable hands of Mr. J. O. C. Campbell, KC, and Attorney Gen- eral Walter E. Darby. K.C.

Mr. Campbell, concentrating on the ques- tion of nationalization. cited quotations Tom the late Sir Edward Beatty's speeches and of the chairman of the C. P. R., Mr. Seorge A. Walker. that actually, sooner )l' later it was nationalization or bank- :uptcy. Mr. Campbell urged that sound com- rnon sense favored the former, and the sooner the better. not only for the Govern- nent and the stock holders, but also for .he country and especially the freight pat- sons. He showed conclusively that trade and zommerce could not stand further boosts in freight rates, or even the threats of them tvhich undermine enterprise, and prevent expansion of industry. Mr. Campbell made a splendid case. which is bound to have its effect on both the Commission and on the business cominunity generally.

Mr. Darby was no less successful in pro- ducing a favorable impression by his pre- sentation of our case generally for favor- able consideration. He emphasized the un- fairness of the freight rate increases, and the effect they had on our main export- potatoes. reducing the returns to our farm- ers to a mere bagatelle, and in the ease of the 1949 crop he maintained all profit had been wiped out. The Attorney General laid stress on the Island's claims on inter-prov- incial communication under our Confeder- ation agreement. suggested the permanence of the two-way ferry service to be intro- duced next month. additional ferry service at West Prince, and the transference of the management of the ferries from the Rail- way to the Department of Transport or to a. special commission. This would obviate the C. N. R. sacrificing our service in an attempt to make it profitable and place the Ferries where they belong, under the Con- solidated Fund of Parliament.

Roundabout Selling

There are more ways than one to skin a rabbit. and there are more ways than one to promote export trade. Exhibits at in- tcrnational trade fairs are ordinarily de- signed to show prospective buyers from oth- er countries just how they may profit by buying from the exhibiting country.

Canadals exhibit at the British Indus- tries fair is quite different. It is based on the proposition that for Britain to maintain or increase her purchases in this country, she must be able to sell here. The exhibit is designed to help British exporters sell in the Canadian market and is deeply appreci- filed.

it seems clear that enthusiasm is not lacking to bring about this desirable state if affairs. Bureau of Statistics figures show that Canadians increased imports from the United Kingdom to an all-monthly high of i32,700,000 which should certainly soon be reflected in a further opening of trade :loors to Canadian goods.

Myth Of "Free" services

In almost every speech by Government apokesmen nowadays, whether Federal or Provincial. emphasis is placed on the in- creasing number of free services which are being provided through grants in aid, inspection or other facilities. These speak- ers should take a tip from Senator T. A. Crerar, former member of the Mackenzie King cabinet. and veteran politician, who from his seat in the Red Chamber recently warned that "there is not a single service .n the Government that is free; everything is paid for by the taxpayer", and that "this delusion of tfree' services is contributing to the increasingly high level of Federal ex- penditures.

Pointing up Senator Crerar's remarks, the Ottawa Journal says the pity is that thispolnt isn't stressed more frequently. it would be so much more honest. safer and

'hlutary than seeking to capitalize political- ly in every new Government handout. The Govu-mmnt having no money of its own,

brunt and not the rich. Because they can least afford taxes. they feel them most.

Air Marshal W. A. Curtis' proposal to boost Canada's air strength from 10 squa- drons to an eventual 15 is still somewhat modest, considering the vastness of the country they are to guard.

The Canadian National Railway has al- ways done very well in the matter of serv- ing seafood. The announcement by Mari- time sleeping and dining car superintendent B. B. Archibald that fresh fish of every type are to be featured in the Atlantic Region should be cause for not a little rejoicing amongst the travelling public.

The plans and specifications for the erec- tion of the new Federal building in the City are completed, but, we are told. it may take months or years to complete negotia- tions for acquiring possession of the site selected. That would indicate poor business aptitude on the part of whoever is handling the job on behalf of the Federal Govern- ment. Now there is only one thing to do- ivait and see what happens. 0 I 0

Dr. Edward Jenner, discoverer of vac- cination, died this date 1823. He inocu- lated a boy, James Phippa, with cow-pox, so that when the boy was later inoculated with smallpox an attack of the latter dis- ease did not ensue. He received b150,000 from Parliament for his discovery. After his death, statues were erected to his mem- ory in Gloucester Cathedral and in London. But only the name of the boy who provid- ed. the testing medium is on record.

0 O I Morgans of Montreal plan to observe Monday 21st,' instead of the 24th for Victoria Day holiday. Spokesmen said many of the employees "who in common with the rest of humanity love a long week-end" are planning to visit relatives and friends on journeys that would hardly be feasible for a single day. "Morgan's er.- tieipates whfmay soon become a recog- nized natlonal practice--the observing of all (except religious) national holidays on the closest Monday, to the actual date. Such a proposal has already been talked of in Ot- tawa and it is believed that national legisla- tion may soon make it a fact." 0 C 0

Sir.-I have bccn informed that executors are allowed eighteen months in which to close out the business of an estate. As for as I can discover no such a time limit is set for the inspection of a house after the Wil'lli'g has been com- pleted. our house was wired icady for inspection on the tenth of last March but still no sight of an in- specilor. During the post. weeks I have been milclilng very closely the obituary not-ices in our daily paper but have seen in mention of his mime there of course I realize that he may have passed away without any such notice be- ing given In which case I presume a new inspector will be appointed when the House convenes next Spring S1) if Pruvideiico still can- tinues kind to us we may yet. live lo see the lights shining frcni oui windows.

DISASTER RELIEF Sir,-in connection with th: rc- c:ni lalncnlablc disasters in Man- iloba and Quebec. the Canadian Red Cross and other agencies are co-operating to bring relief to the sufferers. In Rimouski. Cabano and Winnipeg the Red Cross has carried a greai deal of the biir- den which is costing thousands every day. in addition to this the Red Cros has launched a national appeal for donations in kind of rubber boots, heavy socks and gloves to be forwarded to flooded regions for use of the dike work- ers. In order to be of greatest service such donations must be made immediately. The Red Cross is also providing emergency aid by way of food. clothing, shelter. medical care. transportation, regis- tration. ct1:., in Winnipeg and other parts of the Red River val- ley. This is at present financed by emergency funds in the poses- sion of the National Headquarters of the Canadian Red Cross So- ciely. but these should be aug- mented and replenished by dona- liors from generous people every- where designated spcciiicaliy for Disaster Relief.

Another organizzition has been set up in this Province to raise and forward funds for the refurnishing of flooded horrics. The fled Cross is not taking part in this acimiiiislraiion nor contribu- ting to this fund. A further mea- sure of relief for the rehabzlitalion of domestic and farm buildings it is expected will be undertaken by a Government Commission fi- nanced by lhc Dominion and Prov- ilice.

The funds collected by The Guardian and by the Red Cross are both in need of generous con- iributions on the part of our peo- ple. The Red Cross is making no special effort in this connection except to announce the appeal and leave it to the generosity of our people.

DIVERS PETITIONS

Among the petition: presented to the Legislative Council in 1853 were the following:

From Henry Palmer and Theo- philus Stewart. illsquires, llndian Commissioners. praying the inter- vention of Council to enable the Executive to apprdprinte lands on the Worrell Route, as compensa- tion to certain Indian families. for land formerly set apart. for them by the late Charles Worrell, Esq.

Sense of Direction

(By The Bishop of Southwell) "How wearisome (wrote Cosmo Gordon Lang) I; the constant and petulant cry for strong leader- shlp!" One can have sympathy with oi harassed Primate who knew that when people clhmour for "a lead" what they commonly moon is some pi uncement which will confirm them in their own opin- ions. Yet. this is a cry which will not be silenced. And the more confused and complex life becomes, the greater grows the need for such leadership as will reveal the permanent realities and thus re- store a true sense of direction. This is now lmperatlvely required; in the present political situation the nation is left drifting and un- certain before imminent and mounting dangers.

If we cannot have unity in poll- tical action. then it must be aouilht at a deeper level, beneath the idea- logical divisions. in a moral and spiritual reassessment of the aims and ends of the common life itself. Far too much attention is belni: concentrated on the petty cash of party controversy. It is time to ask the -fundamental questions. What are we living for and living by? And these are ultimately ra- llgiou: questions. There can be no way out of our present troubl.-ii so long as men have no other bear- ings than their own "unruly Willi! and affections." The way of truth and peace in by obedience to II purpose which in not of man's devising-by learning to "love
