The Provincial campaign to raise funds ror all Red Cross Association will be launched szgflffgl“ The °l>le¢ilve for >our Province is 00o. 0. The Dominion objective i; $5,009,.

Much has been written and spoken about the immense amount of good accomplished by the Red Cross in war, so much in fact that the splendid work done nearer home is all but for- gotten or taken for granted. ‘

in reverting frcm var to peace the RQd Cross is embarking on an ambitious program for the relief of suffcring humanity. Not the loan on the list of projscts is tlie new nation-wide free Blccd Transfusion Service. It is impos- sible to assess or value the importance the es- tnblishment of "blood banks" in our hospitals will hove. The service will be free to both hos- pital and patient.

Working quietly but efficiently here the Red Cross assists hospitalized veterans by sup- plying extra comforts, promotes swimming and water safety measures, helps crippled children through the Junior Red Cross, maintains Home Nursing and First-Aid instruction and gener- ally iaspircs youth to better health, good citi- zenship and world friendship.

ln a wider scope the Red Cross operates fifty-four outpost hospitals scattered over Can- ada's vcst frontiers and is organized for dis- aslcr relicf. lt rrust maintain its personnel, mobile hospitals, blood banks and supplies.

Why in peacetime does the Red Cross osk for $5,000,000? What has happened to the bol- ance of its wartinrc fund? Under the War- time Charities Act any existing balance of Red Cross fund must be and is being spent on war relief. There are no monies available for the Red Cross peacetime programme. The present drive/S Illiflilve is a conservative estimate of tho amount required to carry this year's peace- time programme. The amount raised in this Province will be spent within the Province. Ono's generous contribution today, as in wartime. will see the Red Cross through.

“Spreading Oommiiirlsrn

it was announced yesterday that the Brit- ‘lsfi Labour Government intends starting 400 Labour newspapers to offset what it is pleased to describe as the predominantly Conservative Provincial Press, meaning presumably, such bul- works of freedom as the Manchester Guardian. This is but the thin end of the wedge. The Gov- ernment alrcady controls B.B.C., and has a very active and vigilant propagandist organization in its Bureaux of information spreading socialist views of British policy all over the globe, in- cluding Conada. ln the British nation at lhome the people are newspaper readers, and so to get more closely to them it is proposed to flood the country with subsidized cheap organs of socialist opinion. It may be true for the moment that the Labour Party denies its Communism but that is merely a blind. Once the first move in Marxism is token it is a simple and easy matter to swing the machine into Communistic gear.

In this connection it is also announced that Sir David Ross, Provost of Oriel, Oxford, has been offered the chairmanship of the Parliament- ordered‘ Commission to investigate the British Press. i,

The Journal, the organ of the British insti- tute of Journalists in commenting on the Com- mission soys journalists, in the main, are un- perturbed by the proposed inquiry.

Some continue to regard such an investiga- tion “as unnecessary and assert that it was prompted by o political motive; some welcome it because they are confident that the results will recoil 0n the politicians by whom it has been most keenly favoured, and others take the view that it is just as well there should be an in- quiry and a chance for the Press to state its case. All, we think, are agreed that the Press can state c good case. _ _

Parliament's decision was anticipated _by the lnstitute's Annual Meeting in a resolution rcaucstirrg lie Council to submit evidence to any inquiry that might be set up. ln his Presi- dential Addrcss Mr. W. L. Andrews, while doubt- h, {he ingenuity of any Royal Commission to devise a formula to make the Press inore useful and more public-spirited, urged that an inquiry should receive the help of the institute Wbitill should supply all the information it cc-uld. offer. That co-aperation will be given gladly, if only to ensure that any recommendations made by the Commission will have o sound basis. Con- tinuing The flournal says: _ _

"ln view of Parliament's decision some journalists are anxious to know ll’ the"? 1W5 been any change or modification in the insti- tute's attitude to the closed shop issue. We can state categorically that there has been no change or modification. The Institute remains uncompromisingly opposed to the coercive meth- ods implied by the closed shop policy and be- lieves, as the Council of the Newspaper Pro- prietors Association declared in June, 1944, when it refused to apply the closed shop principle to editorial departments, that ‘free choice of odi- torial staffs is indispensable to the freedom of expression of opinion.”

Tlrot lhis warning and protest are neces- sary is evident from what is happening over the border. Milton Murray, President of the American Newspapers Guild. C. l. 0., declares that New York City and Los Angeles guild rncrrbers are under Ccrrmunistic influence.

He told the Hcirse of Representatives labor committee that Communists have "no control" over the notional mrganizatirin, however.

llb-Ilifldilil to questioning, Murray said that

Communists "probably dominate the New York

, loca|" of tho Newspaper union and "guide" the ‘ affairs of the Los Angeles local.

He named Jock Ryan, executive vice-presi- dent of the New York Guild, and William Bro- die, executive secretary of the Los Angeles Guild as Communists, and described Philip Connolly of the Los Angeles Guild as "a fellow- traveller at the very least."

lf the investigation in London opens the eyes of the public to the risk they run of. be- ing deprived of o free and independent press, and the substitution of o subsidized socialist Press, it will have served a useful purpose, though not that which its promoters originally intended.

Sugar For Bees

As the season of Spring feeding approaches this is an appropriate time to advise all bee- keepers that requests for sugar for Spring feed- ing of bees should be addressed to the Acting Provincial Apiarist, Experimental Farm, Char- lottetown, who has full authority from the Sugar Administration to make available the" sugar re- quired for feeding purposes, within the regu- lations as laid down for him to follow.

The administration advises that, although there is some slight improvement, the sugor sup- ply situotion continues to be a matter of con- corn, and great care in the distribution of this vital product is still necessary.

The heavy losses of, potato growers in Carleton and Victoria counties, N.B., were at- tributed by Mr. F. C. Squiresin the Legislature to the failure of the Dominion Government to

protect agricultural producers. He charged discrimination by Federal authorities in the diversion of grain from Saint John and the

awarding of war contracts, and characterized the original Dominion lax transfer develop- mcnts as a "double-crcss.”

Five years ago next week, on March 24, 1942, Canada started her selective service pro- gram for industry and, on March 28, it was an- nounced that the country had oversubscribed the 2nd Victory Loan by more than $200,000,- 000. Target for the loan was $600,000,000, and bond sales totalled $843,127,900. Four years ago, on March 20, 1943: the Allies open- ed a terrific assault on tho Mareth Line in Tunisia, and on March 28t-h the enemy aband- oned his position and resumed his retreat. . On Nlarch 23, 1945, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division crossed the Rhine only 24 hours in the wake of the U. S. 3rd Army. The U. 5. force hnd crossed the previous day between Mainz and Worms. On March 27th. seven more Allied Armies made the grossing.

Rev. Dr. J. R.

Our moral,‘ social, and ecumenical witness is not as vigorous as it ghguild be. We have justifiable pride in our Church's things, her buildings, equipment, pro- perties, and endowments. Current revenues are buoyant. Missionary and special funds, includ- ing the Pension Capital Fund, are woll sup- ported. Church attendance generally is good. But there ore less encouraging factors. Re- cruits far the. ministry are not numerous. In many areas the rural church is weaker. Patches or paganism are spreading. The unchurclied are not being found in large numbers and com- pelled to come into the fellowship. And our rncral witness in temperance ll spotty and lczitcrl; ord ve hcve little lzcort for close;in ifiglrting in the oreno of tough moral issues.’
