Forest Fire llangor

Although only one forest fire has been reported in the Province this season, the Forestry Division of the Department of In- dustry and Natural Resources is concerned about the danger of new outbreaks. During the last two years there has been heavy cutting done in our woods due to the de- mand for pulp wood and pit props. In the course of such extensive cutting a great deal of slash has been left on the ground and is now tinder-dry and a source of ser- ious danger in the event of a carelessly tossed cigarette or match. A fire near Winsloe last week was brought under con- trol by the use of bulldozers and the joint efforts of a large number of men, but ill will be unfortunate if other conflagrations. should break out in our valuable wood lots.-

Farmers And Freight Rates

Farm organizations are protesting loudly against any further increase in railway freight rates, and according to an Ottawa correspondent in the Vancouver News-Her- aid, 21 lot more will be heard about it when Parliament reassembles on November 20. This is quite understandable, as freight rates affect farmers directly in the cost of everything they use on the farm. The latest Dominion Bureau of Statistics studies. on farm price index figures show clearly that it is the farmer who has taken the rap in the wholesale and retail price decline" since last January. At the same time, costs of farm implements and equipment have been rising, partly "due to higher freight rates and partly because of decline in the purchasing power of the dollar.

DBS farm price index figures issued July 8 show the farm price index fell to 258.3 or 6.5 points below the April figure of 264.8, and 34.7 points or nearly 12 per cent below the May. 1951. figure of 293.0.- lt was the fourth successive decline since January and compares with the high points of 307.2 in July, 1951.

Lower prices for grains, livestock, dairy products, poultry and eggs offset the rise in potato prices due to the potato shortage. The farm price index decline was general for May, 1952, in all provinceslexcept the Maritimes and British Columbia where the increase was insufficient to offset the gen- eral fall.

But farm machinery and equipment prices continue to rise. In terms of whole- sale prices, in 1951, farmers paid tiS235,620,-y 345 for farm implements and equipment or, eight per cent more than the 3,218,187,120 they paid in 1950. Higher freight rates and a general price rise due to the inflated,

dollar were the causes. i

Returns on Investment ;

Speaking before the Canadian Export-

den, C.M.G., Q.C., gave an address on Cana- dian trade and foreign inves ent. In the course of his remarks he give an inter- esting summary of the history of the com- pany of which he is president. It should be an encouragement for Canadians who are ourselves busily engaged in making use of imported capital and our own as well as lending some abroad. A

Fifty years ago a small group of Calla- dians invested their orrl resources in a public utll':.:.' 3:. Rfezil Since that time this investment has grown to almost 337.50 million, and the facilities that it supports are now supplying that country with a large proportion of its electric power, gasi and telephone services.

But what has all this done for Canada? Just this: in the past 5 years Canadian suppliers of goods and materials have re- ceived business in respect of capital goods to the extent of approximately 550,000,000 and during "the same period suppliers -in other countries outside Brazil have received like business in an approximately equival- ent amount. Canada has received over the years millions of dollars in the servicing of this investment while millions have gone to other countries which share in it. ,

' From the Brazilian point of view, the Canadian point of view and the world point of view. this has indeed been a sound in- vestment. There is not the slightest doubt that this investment has stimulated the ' rchange of goods between Brazil and ' and developed interest end.know- of'Cemdo and in Canada. of ,-Iiinoe-two great andfriendly no-

New comlnonvvoaltil Melnllers

Who has the right to admit new mem- bers to the Commonwealth of Nations? The question arose in the British House of Com- mons a few days ago when it was suggest- ed that the.Gold Coast be accorded mem- bership. Mr. Churchill observed that ”if any question were to arise of the admis- sion of a colony to full and independent membership of the Commonwealth all ex- isting members would be consulted."

The point being pressed, Mr. Churchill,

read a statement of policy issued by the Labor Government in June 7,l1951, as fol- lows: ”Whilst the United Kingdom Gov- ernment alone carry the responsibility for internal constitutional developments in C01- onies dependent upon the United Kingdom, we recognize the interest of the Gov'ern- ments of other members of the Common- wealth, and it is our practice to keep them informed of major developments in that sphere. Were any question of admission to full and independent membership of the Commonwealth to arise, all existing mem- bers would, following past practice, be con- suited."

And again: "We must make quite clear the distinction between the grant of re- sponsible self-government within the Com- monwealth, which is a matter for the U11- ited Kingdom Government and the territory concerned, and. for them alone, and the question of becoming a full member of the Commonwealth, which is of course a mat- ter for all members of the Commonwealth."

Mr. Churchill added: ”Her Majesty's present Government endorse that."

PROVE IT BY DOLLARS

Sir.-Are you aware that in Allsiffxllai the Queensland Tem- perance League carries on a busi- ness enterprise. in crectlnlz hotels for the travelling public, in which no liquor is served. none sold, none carried in by the guests. no one intoxicated within their walls, where each guest that registers

agrees to this system and likes it.

The first one, erected in 1929. is the Hotel Canberra. It met. with immediate and almost sur- prlsing success. After operating for five years, it was enlarged to accommodate 500 guests.

Since then another liquol-less ihotel has been built and operated thy the Queensland Temperance theague. with plans for four others. -These hotels are equal to the best

in architecture. accommodation and service. The profits that are made are used for temperance rd-

ucation or other activity in the fight for sobriety.

These facts should ease the minds of those who think that 'the tourist business will suffer if ilie do not meet them at Borden. or our front door with alcoholic drink.

Conditions in Australia are very similar to those in Canada. And a ilarge section of the people prefer lto get away as fsrtas possible from ”skld row" and the "flop houses." One temperance hotel in Brisbane, lthe Canberra, does as much blist- lness as any five others in the same city.

Too many of our people have it

lmislaken idea. that honesty is not the best. economic policy. that you lean not run an honest. business and .prosper. And it is not honest to take the visitors money and "steal this brains.” We have not forgotten :the rebuke given us by the Duke of Edinburgh in our Canadian Nat.- lnnal lfotei the time of the Royal lvlsit, with reference to the used beverage, alcohol. And our late King took particular notice that we had prohibition and still broke the law.

Canadians so greatly influenced by the activities of their neighbor to the south tend to forget they have another great.-in land mass -neighbor to the north. Greenland has lived in the quiet of the sub- Arctlc, making trouble for on one, content in its association with Dmmark and working out its own problems.

In this land of 840,000 square miles-the largest. island except. Australia-much progress has been made recently in the development of government. and services. The Danish Parliament has adopted the report. of I royal commlulon ore- etlng I Ch-eenland National coun- oil to be elected by tmlverni, direct and secret. ballot by Ill men and women obove.t.ha use of 33.

Beyond that point there is a danger that we may delude ourselves into a sense of false security, a belief that because things are sure not to be as bad as they seem. we need not take much action to avert. a possible crisis. 0 . .

Hence it seemed we were on familiar ground when, despite that our economic position was improving, Mr. Churchill spoke darkly of forthcoming stern measures that. were soon going to be necessary to put. us really on our financial feet.

It was all vely confusing, but perhaps the confusion was partly of our owayxlaking because, being only hum , we are prone to form an opinion of the nation's pro- gress ill the light. of our own per- sonal discoveries.

getting less expensive were not everyday items that would affect housekeeping budgets, but they could at least be regarded as straws in the wind. -There was even occasional official support for our hopes, and one member .of the Government, who should know. went so far as to express the be- lief that. the peak in the rise of the cost; of living had been reach- ed, subject.
