Two Distinguished Islanders

During the past week two distinguished Prince Edward Islanders who have added lus- tre to the reputation of this Province passed to their final reward. Mr. Richard E. johrislofl. whose funeral in llostoti on Thursdnl/ “'35 at‘ tended by the highestdignitttrics of State and Bar. ivus a native of hllilflflflflOfilVfl and brother of Mr, J, _]. johuston, I\.C. begardcd as the flllléllllKllllQ Czunnlizin-born man in the public life of Blassachnsctts, he held tnany positions (if honour 11ml l'('.\l)illlsll)llll\' Oil lIlS lilSt V151! here. about fire yczirs ztgo, hc showed how keen was his llllLTC>l in old tnces, and how deep liis attachment to the place llf his birth. _ _

Sir Robcifs father. the Rev. Dr. .\lex ider Falconer, was at one time mipj>~tt~|~ of Zion Prcsbvterian Church, and it was l.l'l't‘ that Sir Robert was born and spent his €;ll‘l‘i\‘>l wars. latter, en his appointment as lecturer in New Testament Creek at Pine Hill College, llzilifax, h»- was able to make frequent visitsito (Tharlotiqou-u. He preached in several local churches and held summer schools on religions education. He was only forty when appointed to the 130st of President of the largest university in (anadzi.

Thc hey to Sir Robert's success as an educa- tionist wzis giicit mgny \e.'n's later, in his ‘farc- wcll address oit lllS retirement m T9325 rhe world," he said, “is always on the lmkout for those ivlio are not afraid to work and who have the initiative atid who can be loll l0 llleln5clve5 to carrv through a job to the uttermost. It IS by this sclf-tliscipline that success is won as much 8S bv inherited brain power." Tihis is in b65171"?! with our Island pioneer tradition, in whioli the emphasis was always‘ on character and what Carlyle called an infinite tapaclll’ for lakmli pains.

Where The Money Goes

ft is stated in- the monthly bulletin of the ‘Wartime Information Board, Canada at \\'ar. that the cost of the war to Canadians in the three years and seven months to March 31 h“ came to a total of more than seven billion and a half dollars. which sum is nearlyfive limo“ the Dominions war and demobilization expen- ditures for World \Var I. :\ wealth of statis- tics is given showing how this money has boon spent on the different services and the extra- ordinary increase in personnel and cquipmfllit. ivliich has been seen from year to year. The Commonwealth .~\ir 'l'i'aining Plan Wlll alone cost a billion and a half dollars, of which Can- ada is to pay one-half, the current monthly ex- penses being, in round figures, forty million dollars. As revealing the rate of lndufilflfll expansion, it is stated that at September I._ i940. only 300,000 workers were employed directly or indirectly in war work, whereas at the be- ginning of September this year about 1100.050 were so employed. _

In the four years no less than six hundred dollars for every man, woman and child in Can- lda has been spent on war construction arid pro- duction. Overall commitments for shipbuild- ing total a billion dollars, of which about half is for cargo ship construction, more than M5.- 000,000 for small boats, a. similar amount for repair and overhaul and the rest for escort and fighting ships. For aircraft, ~_th_ere is a back- log of orders amounting to a billion dollars. For military vehicles th_c production rate is four hun- dred million dollars a year. The fewfd will‘ respect to guns and small arms, mitnition and explosive, communication matoflfil and mfdlcal supplies is cquallv impressive. _ _

l)r. Ii. S. Archibztltl. Director of the Dominion lxpcrinientzil Fin-ms, has outlined for the Cana- dian Chainbr-i- of (fonimcrce some of the practi- f3] girls underlying sound and extensive farm rc-roiistrtirtion. lfziriticrs. he explained, want fair and stabilized prices rather than bonuses. sub- sidies. stibvetitions and what Progressive Con- servative Leader john Bracken describes as "handouts, having the character of charity."

The relationship bctwccn Dr. Archibald's ad- vicc and the program to which Mr. Bracken pledged his tiztrty at Lcthbridgc, says the Globe and .\lail, is too obvious to escape attention. That this should be so is not strange. For both men are practical farmers with a rich experience in the administralitiii phases of large-scale farm operations. Iloth have a sound knowledge of thc ititcrilepcndcncc of agriculture and industry. Both have a national concept of farm problems.

The means to fair and stabilized prices, Dr. Archibald showed, lic hi improved farming niclluxls, ltrgiiminu with the individual and with the soil. Improved farming methods rely heavily on research and experimentation, on soil sur-

Premier Marshal Stalin has joined with Pre- sident Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill in a statement pledging retribution for Cier- man atrocities, massacres and executions declaring that those responsiblefor such acts would be turned over at the time of the armis- tice to the countries in which their “abominable deeds were done." 'l_l‘l€id€ClEil‘3llO11, the most strongly worded one yet issued on the subject and the only one in which Marshal Stalin has directly participated, defined for the first time the jurisdiction over the responsible individuals and the time for their trial and punishment. Those questions were left unsettled in a sim- ilar Anglo-Amcrican declaration published last August 29, and in earlier mtniiiigs made in- (lividually by the President and Prime Min-

istcr.

Great and general approval has been given to Mr. Brackeifs zigricultural policy. Most of his prescriptions are things he can do if given pow- cr, and John Bracken is a uirui of his word. He promises a "floor price" in deflationary lllflcS to match the “ceiling price” of today. He pro- inises direct action, to increase domestic ..1ar- kets for farm surpluses, including a "stamp sys- tem" if necessary, I-Ie promises a Federal Co- operative Act to “promote in cvery legitimate way" the cooperative method in both selling and buying. He promises the establishment of national food reserves, an extension of Vice Pre- sident Hcm-y Wallace's “every-normal gran- ary” principle. He promises broad and even drastic measures to protect farm credit. He endorses the promise already made by Opposi- tion Leader Gordon Graydon, of federal aid for schools, with special reference to rural schools. He promises financial aid to the provinces for rural health services. This is the program John Bracken believes he can bring to reality for the farmer-and he is qualified to know if it can be done. His objective is “equality for the farm industry," and he is right in asserting that "that much, no reasonable person can deny to agriculture." Even the most urban of city men concede that the farmer is “the backbone of the country"—they must give sympathetic at- tention to a program designed to give him s square deal.

It may be recalled Mr. Hemming has strongly advocated the conversion of Charlottetown into a free port so that it could be made the store- house for foreign imports and exports, our sit- uation and splendid harbour being ideal for such an enterprise. Of course, his advocacy fell on deaf ears so far as our Federal representatives are concerned, but not so in respect to the shrewd justice Minister St. Laurent, who seized upon the idea t_o benefit Quebec City, and to help to restore his popularity with the citizens there-jeopardized by his pro-Mackenzie King attitude. He told a meeting of citizens that he and his colleagues would study the plan “with great sympathy”, adding in his personal opinion, the study would be "fruitful." At the close of the discussion, it was unanimously decided to send a petition to Ottawa, which ended as fol- lows: “That this meeting, comprising representa- tives of public associations and of prominent private citizens of Quebec, petition the Govern- ment of Canada to take immediately the ne- cessary measures to make the port of Quebec a free port, so that this magnificent harbor, It'l- vantagcously situated at the terminus of the shortest and cheapest route between Canada and foreign ports. may serve efficaciously to the econ- omic expansion of Canada after the war and thus receive the volume of business and trade merited by its geographical position and the in- comparable role it may play in the development

of the commercial relations of Canada with the

other nations." Mayor Borne, who presided, ex-

plained that a free port would permit the sale

and rte-exportation of merchandise without the

payment of customs duty. l-le said the system

Macnonald thundered 1n 111s last manifesto to the Canadian 1aeonle. It was that proposal of Canadian Liberalism 52 vears ago that lm- pelled Edward Blake, the ablest leader 1t has ever had. to break with his panv and leave the stake of Dominion public life. Blake's historic "Durham Letterfl. publish- ed on the dav following the Liberal defeat of 1891. 1s the most conclus- ive answer to “unrestricted recip- rocity." or “tariff union." between Canada and the United States that has ever been printed. or that ever could be printed. Standing as we do today. more than a half century from the stirr- rlriiz episode. the thesis of Slr John Macdonald and Edward Blake-the two Blunt political rivals who on that momentous issue were for the first and last: time in perfect agree- ment-no longer requires nn_v for- mal argument. for the answer to the tariff merger idea ls mitten 1n history and has become axioma- tic.
