It is interesting at this - iude towards socialism forty years ago. Speak- ing in St. Andrew's hall in Glasgow, Oct. u, i906, he made this characteristic comment:

"It is not possible to draw s hard-and-fad line between individualism and colieotivisni. You in theory or in prac- tice. ‘Ihat is where the Socialist makes s mis- take. Let us not imitate that mistake. No man can be s collectivist alone or an individualist alone. ‘the very nature of man is a dual nature. The character cf the organisation of human society is dual.

Farmers’ Meetings

The farmers‘ , meetings in Charlottetown next week promise to be of exceptional public ilioroet and importance. The necessity of main- bining the “food front" with the greatest ef- ficiency during wartime is recognized by all, but few except our farmers are aware of the many difficulties involved ill this task. The week's activities will open on Tuesday afternoon with a new educational feature, s. provincial bacon show, which should be productive of beneficial results in connection with one of fie most important phases of wartime farm production. There w-ill be a general meeting of hog producers 'l'l1esdily night, followed by the Sheep Breeders and Dairymen's Association meetings on Wednesdzrv, and the Farmers In- stitutes and Federation of Agriculture on Thursday. All interested in rural problems are invited to attend these meetings. That includes our local citizens, and it is to be hoped that as many as can do so will take advantage of this opportunity. In particular, the evening ses- sion of the Federation of Agriculture should prove of great interest. Representing as it does no fewer than twelve rural organizations h the Province, the Federation speaks auth- oritatively for agriculture and its interests. Last year the Federation presented a brief to the members of the Provincial Legislature. outfitting the resolutions passed at its last an- nual meeting and requesting action thereon. The progress made in this regard, and the prospect of further implementation, will doubt’- lese _oorne up for discussion at next week's leeesng.

-EDITORIAL NOTES-

Tlme is to be given, evidently, to General McNaughton to make himself acquainted with “There is nmhing we m" gel! you about the Liberal organization before again seeking transportation that you do not already know.

Xcu all realize that the most vital problem fac- ing this Province today is how to maintain the ficilities that will guarantee the transporta- tion to and from the nlainland of our farm products and the materials required to produce our crops and feed our live stock. It is use- lose to refer to the past. The present is suffici- ent to create in the mind of every producer s. fear that he nlay not be able to place his i944 atop on the markets of the world. May we sug- [eet that hnnsediafely you begin investigations as b the boot arrangement which can be made that will insure a continuous movement to and from the mainland during the winter of I944- 45._ To avoid rl-isaster you cannot allow the annual ice barrier to again close the Strait of Northunrberland without having at Borden an- other boat that will assist ‘the Prince Edward Island in the movement of the freight which under normal crop yields in I944 will be much greater than it is for the present winter."

We have had favourable weather so far this Win88, but our lack of an auxiliary boat to replace the present ferry in the event of an unergeslcy remains a source of great concern. There is absolutely no assurance that the new tar ferry will be ready before next year. In the meantime it is useless for the authorities to as- sure iss that all is well when we know that a ntishap may occur at any time to isolate us from the mainland and ruin all concerned in the ex- port of our farm products.

The Five-Year Men

It is announced that a. number of five-year DOll who recently returned from overseas have been required to sign xvarning orders calling on them to hold tllenlsclvcs in readiness for over- seas draft. In plain language, this seems to mean that some of illcsl: lllfll, zllier having spent five years at the front, are now to be returned to the. front after a few weeks at home.

Because tllerc are so fclv of them the pub- lic outcry against surll Ii d1 Gian luzly not be great. But this is a mniicr in which numbers do not count. What rlllillflCilllOll can there bc for requiring men with five years overseas ser- vice behind them in undergo a second teml of battle service? Obviously, it would be both fair and necessary to send ihcul back if there were none with lessor service available.

Excellence of Western Canada's butter, and. higher rate of production in comparison with Eastern Canada, were mentioned by Mr. A. S. Thurston, secretary manager of the Ontario Creamery Association, in an address before the Provincial Dairy Convention in Regina. In Ontario, said Mr. Thurston, average qannual production of the 283 creamcries was 262,000 pounds, in comparison with a yearly output of around 667,000 pounds by 62 Saskatchewan creamcrics. “It is an open secret," he added, “that Ontario does not grade so high as west- erns. My best investigations failed to bring out any criticism in connection with western butter."

They also hold an average of $580 in war bonds fnr every man, woman and child in the nation. This docs not include extra cash nor victory bonds held by corporations or financial institutions. This was revealed in the annual report of the publicly-
