CH ARLOTTETOWN,

"A Bad Day's Work"

The effort by members and supporters of the Jones Government to capitalize on the Do- minion-Provincial tax .agreement would be much more convincing had the Government and its fol- lowers not betrayed their partisan bias on this subject on the floor of- the Legislature. lt is not correct to say, as has been said, that the Con- servatives opposed the agreement. What they did was to attempt, by way of amendment, to introduce safeguarding clauses with regard to our statutory subsidies and provincial rights. The Liberal refusal to adopt this amendment may have far-reaching consequences, as was pre- dicted at the time by tho Sydney Post-Record (in- dependent), which said:

_ "Just before the vote was taken a Progres- ilvecflflservfllive amendment, which should have received the unanimous approval of the House if the members had been on their toes for the preservation of the Province’: rights, was re- jected after the Speaker, backed by some of the Ministers, had vainly tried to rule it out so as to prevent the awkward show-down which en- sued. This Opposition resolution simply assert- ed that the agreement with the Dominion should contain a clause declaring that its ac- ceptance and execution did riot involve any sur- render of Prince Edward island's rights to com- pensation for the Dominion's failure to imple- merit the terms of Confederation, or its rights under the reports of the Duncan and White Com- missions. This very sensible and prudential step tdsafeguard the future rights of tho lsland was rejected‘ fry the Jones Government and its sup- porte‘s ll'1 the House, who voted to a man against it,

"lt is easy to see how this ill-considered vote may prejudice the Island Province greatly in ‘the years that lie immediately ahead, For ij is impossible to construe logically the majority vote on this issue otherwise than as an admis- sion that the agreement just approved by the House wipes out the last vestige of the Island's claims for redress for Ottawa's default in carry- ing out certain of the terms of Confederation, as well as every hope of future benefit on the part of the Province from the Duncan and White recommendations. lt was a bad day's work for Prince Edward Island when the Legislature was so short-sighted as to vote deliberately to make this tax agreement a bar to all future claims against the Federal authorities." -

Higher Education

' Warning) that the values which higher learn- ing can provide are not to be obtained by mass- production methods was sounded by Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey, new Chancellor of the Univers- itv of Toronto, at a special convocation last week. A university, in Mr. Massey's view, is much more than a training school, on any level.

. "The supremo ‘function of a university," he said, is not to train for anything. The cultiva- tion of the mind is to be valued for itself. The gifts of a_liberal educatign . . include integ- ritv of mind; a respect for ideas and mental alertness; clarity of thought and precision of expression; a hatred of the superficial and a dis- trust of the catchword; a critical sense which IlESIIIIQLIlSlIGS the real from the meretricious, the excellent from the second rate; awakened imag- matron; quickened sensibility; and the power to recognize beauty and to enjoy it."

Illuminating Bank Report

Following the unique pattern for humanized bank statements which it originated in 1945, the Bank of Montreal has published its illustrated report of i947 operations under the heading "More Than a Million Canadians Wrote This Billion-Dollar Story." This report — which covers the bank's 130th year-tells in clear, simple terms how B. of M. depositors are helping mold Canada's future while building her own how the Bank's resources are being used by Can- adian businessmen to finance the nation's ex- panding industrial life.

Under the title, "The Focts Behind The Fig- ares", each item is explained in easily-under- stucd terms, with illustrations that help to tell the story. The report ib again one of record- breaking deposits, all-time high resources and an indication of the general prosperity during 1947.

Deposits have passed the one-and-thrce- quarter billion mark for the first time in the bank's history,_ an increase of $47,229,000. This provides reassuring indication that Can- adian citizens are taking steps to protect them- selves against the menace iof inflation.

The report declares a vory substantial in- crease in commercial and other loans of over $120,000,000. At the same timefthe holdings of bonds and debentures — other than government and other public securities-have risen from $56- 022,000 to $96,866,000. Those figures, in sub- stantial measure, represent the extension of cre- dit to industrial enterprises for expansion of pro- ductive facilities in established fields; and the bank's greater participation in commercial fin- ancing. '

To provide for Dominion and Provincial taxes, the bank sot aside $4,156,000, leaving riot earnings of $5,423,285, compared with $4,487,- 782 in 1946. Of this, $3,600,000 was distributed to shareholder” with the balance of $1,823,285 transferred to the profit and loss account.

Ottawa has been besieged by business men wanting Cabinet Ministers to tell them all about the Austerity Program. Fortunately the great majority of Canadians are able to read, and the newspapers do the needful. I I I l’

Canadian diplomats are continually run-

ning up against constitutional difficulties in making inlernalioiial agreements. Such things as labour conditions and education are, of

course, provincial matters so that Ottawa is not

in a position to give effect to any decision that

might be reached. I

Marshal Nicolas-de-Dieu Soult, Duke of Dalmatia, French soldier, died this date, 1851; was the devoted favourite of Napoleon; he led the decisive charge at Austcrlitz, and as a gen- eral in the Spanish Army, conquered Portugal; he also rallied to Napoleon's support in Hun- gary in the Hundred Days, but fell from him after Waterloo.

A curious case of animals "breaking" a sflrike is reported ‘in The Times, London. Twenty Muslim elephant drivers employed by the Mah- arajri of Patiala, who joined the headlong flight ol 100,000 gf their co-religionists into the refugee camps last month, have been brought back to the State capital under military escort by the Maharaja's orders. Worried State officials gave them a right royal welcome, but not warmer than that trumpeted by their drooping charges, who, since the mahouts’ departure, had refused food and drink from any other hand, and lay down apparently to die. After five days, dur- ing which the elephants resisted the most templ- ing tit-bits and stubbornly declined to touch even water, and, when it seemed that nothing else could save their lives, the Maharoja ordered the refugee camps to be searched for 'the mahouts, and for them to be brought back h the capital. Now the men are back, and are be- ing treatcd with every sign of royal favour. From the first day of their return the elephants resumed interest in life, and are now enjoying their normal food and exercise.

There are two officers by the name of Mur- phy in the lst Armoured Regiment, Royal Can- adian Dragoons, at Camp Borden. As might be expected, a certain amount of confusion be- tween the two is inevitablg when strangers are dealing with the Regiment and have occasion to see Lieutenant Murphy, for matters are made more difficult when it is found that both are Lieufenants. To keep them distinct as indiv- iduols, both are known extensively today by their initials. lt is either "Murphy, F..l." or "Mur- phy, J.G." This identification does help but as only one initial is different, strangers still have a p-obleni. The whale matter might appear to be an ordinary coincidence. After all, the "Mur- phys" populate a large part of this globe. But the coincidence does not end here. Recently both these gentlemen were required to fill out one of those personal history forms so popular in the Services. They sat clown to do the iob at

the same table. lt was then that they noticed for the first time that both were born June 23, 1918. To top matters off, they also found that’ they had arrived in this world within a few hours of

Canadians are oiloioocont in art and literature, according to Mrs. Madge Macbeth. She recently told the Ottawa Women's Canadian Club that. there are 1n Canada wO many "adolescent" book reviewers who "read tlmorously, afraid to have their morals soiled," that Canadians in their reading are "highly puritanical." The inference seems to be that if smut. ls clothed ln tine language it becomes 110$ smut. but. "art." Pornosroohy be- ccmes not, filth but "realism." If M15, Macbeth was trying to say that Canadians can't see the fine difference between smut and art. filth and realism. then the blind- iicss ls the critic's. not the pub- llc‘s.
