i War-Time Regulations

Some interesting eoniparisoris between the British and Canadian war-time statutes and regulations are tirade in the first number of a new periodical issued liy the Lianadiaii Associa- tion for .\dult lidticziiioii. the purpose of which. is “to supply factual information on important current probleitis." The issue just received deals with citizenship iii war-time, and includes a revicw- of the Defense of Canada Regula- tions and of the principal cases of PYOSQCLIIlOII of offenders. as well as itistances where prose- ctizioti has been llll'k‘.'llL‘ll(f(l or sortie other dis- Cl[t'.llllll'_\' ziciion taken.

'l'he Defense of Catiada Regulations, sixt_\'- four in lllllltltCl‘, ivcrc passed by tirdcr-iti-council. Supt. 3. logo, iindcr authority of the \\'ar Bleasurcs .\ct, (Chapter :06 of the revised Sta- tutes of CZllléltlil, i927). The Act corresponds with the litiicrgcncy Powers Defense .-\ct (i939) in Great Britain. Both .-\cts give the same wide powers lo lllillﬂ‘ regulations of almost aiiy sort by or<lei>iii~coiiiicil; but iii (ircat Britain more respect has been shown for the Parliamentary system in that. by Sec. 8 of the Act, it is pro- videil that every tirder-in-coiincil containing de- t, . fr-iise regiilatioits shall he laid before Parlia- nient its‘ sttllll as possible. It is fiirtlicr provided that citltcr lloust- of l'lll‘llilllll‘lll may, within twenty-eight days of having the order laid be- fore it, resolve that it be annulled. \\"heii the rcgulatiotis crime hcforc tlte British Parliament, they were sultjrctcil to severe criticism from all sides of tlic llotisi‘. and wcrc withdrawn aild later stibstztntiztlly- tiiodificrl.

'l'h<- penalties provided under the two scis of regulations arc cited as follows:

The chicf guide which the public have re- ceived as to the interpretation 0f the Defense of Canada Regulations is to be found, not in any Dominion publication but. in a memorandum issued about .\'ov_ 25, i939, by the Hon. Gordon Cotiant, .-\ttrirtiey'-tictier;il for Ontario, which was freely quoted and commented on at the time in the press. Approximately 1,000 copies of this tneiiioratirhtm were distributed to the police, mayors and crown attorneys in Ontario. It defined thc powers of the police under the Regulations and the procedure to be taken in prosecuting offenders, and for guidance it gave interpretations of what might be construed as offences.

A wider distribution of this memorandum. or better still a Domiiiioti publication dcvotcrl to thc same purpose. would seem to be necessary’. Not only those charged with law enforcement in all thc provinces, but our citizens generally, have a right to this information, which is of vit'al concern at the present time.

About fifty kinds of implements lay in buried wreckage of the homes, and only half are characteristically Eskimo. The rest are new to Arctic science. These Eskimos used iio slate for blades, contrary to Eskimo custom. Flint was their leading material for drills, knives and liarpoon points. They had no pottery. Front style of decoration on their goods, these odd Eskimos belonged to the North in an early time. But their precise place in prehistory awaits a later decision.

Improved Air Service

Anticipating a change in air transportation services which might adversely affect this Pro- vince, the Charlottetown Board of Trade has been pressing vigorously tlte need 0f_ at least continuing the present service. In this it has received the co-operation of the Provincial Gov- ernment and the result is that in the new sche- dule which comes into effect on Monday not only is the present service icing maintained, but additional air service to and front Moncton is provided.

We are more fortunate in this respect that Halifax and Saint John, where the daily return flights to Moncton are being discontinued.

'I‘l_ie_ Board of Trade was also illstrtttllciitnl in obtaining a reduction in [iasseiiger fares from Charlottetown to hloncton, which will bc 0f great advantage.

This is a good illustration of thc value of concerted effort on the part of all concerned. It recalls the late Premier Leas oft-quoted maxim that “it's the wheel that makes the noise that gets the grease.” It marks a good begin- ning for the new year. '
