-—-—-<-0-§ PLAIN FACTS.

WHEN the Conservative leader,

Hon. R. B. Bennett, speaks of conditions in Canada as they actu- ally are and as every one knows they are. the Liberal press reiter- ates the old, worn-out platltude that he is talking “blue ruin." ‘ In an interview shortly alter his arriv-

to the Island; this year there will be over 4.000. At the same rate of increase we shall have over 5.000 next year and possibly six or seven thousand within two or three years‘ ‘ time. It is absolutely impossible for a. steamer the size of the present car ferry to handle this trafflc. The recommendation of the C.N. R. officials. of the Duncan Commis- sion. and of everyone with any knowledge of the conditions, was for a more satisfactory winter ser- vice. This obviously meant the pro- vision of a larger and more power- ful boat. It is now claimed that this would involve additional ex- pense-that it would mean addition- al dredging and the deepening of the docks at both terminals. It might be possible, however, so to construct the steamer. with addi- tional width of beam to give added buoyancy, that it would not be nc- cessary to deepen the docks. In any event, it would surely be false economy to cripple the transporta- tion service of the Island for the next two or three decades simply to avoid additional expense. The first and last requisite for better service —a larger and more powerful boat. designed in the most efficfent man- ner—-should always be kept in mind. To lose sight of this point is to provoke endless controversy, to give continual dissatisfaction, and to fall absolutely to implement the terms of the Duncan Report for efficient “steam service for the conveyance of malls and passengers. Some suggestion was made by ‘Mr. W. U. Appleton at the recent conference in the Board of Trade rooms that the present car ferry would be available as a supplemen- tary steamer when the new boatls placed on the route. 'I‘his gives rise to some interesting speculation. Is it the intention to keep the pro-

.' ssnt oar ferry constantly in com-

,mission._ with full complement of oilcers and crew‘) If so. where would she be docked‘! Unless ad- dltlonsl mun: facilities" m built. there is po place nearerhhan Bum- merside; and if tied up in Bum- morside during the winter could she gstoutintimetobsofserviosvmen needed? It may be the intention of the authorities to have both boats on the service oontinuousw.

_ This would certainly be an improve- ment. and might prove the most latsifsctory solution of the problem!

aJ in Montreal a few days ago. Mr. {Bennett said, and every fair-mind- ed business man will agree with >Ihim:—-

“There is a growing consciousness which will express itself in protest at the first opportunity against the sacrifice of our great wealth of raw materials and of our home markets to foreign people. One can hardly visualize the wealth of our natural heritage. but no one can escape the proof that the economic policy of the present Government is alienat- ing these resources to the benefit of other countries and to the great detriment of Canada.

"We are basking in a prosperity born of the exploitation of our raw materials by foreigners. to provide work for foreigners in foreign coun- tries. We are hewing wood and drawing water for the United States, disposing in their raw state of re- sources that are irreplaceable, in- stead of creating a labor markot in our own country. We are supply- ing the basic materials to enable other people to enjoy an cra of prosperity hitherto unknown, when we should be manufacturing these materials for the world right here in Canada. , _

"The consciousness of this econo- mic waste is growing. Realization of what it would mean to the cap- acity of Canada to absorb popula- tion and enjoy unexampled and gcn- eral prosperity if this country were developed for Canadians, by Can- adians and in Canada, is likewise growing. The reaction will be in- evitable and I do not believe it will be long delayed."

Perhaps no fea- ture o1 domestic concern has been so important in Great Britain and the United States as the tremcncL ous increase ill urban population, with nil its accompanying problems, and its influence on national and individual character, and welfare. London and New York, Chicago and Glasgow-their very names suggest romance, and boredom-unfold op- llortunity and squalor. Dick Wit- tlngton and Tammany Hall, Big Bill Thompson and the Lord May- or's Show. To the casual observer they would seem to have been nursed on the same traditions, and to have developed along similar Anglo-Saxon lines. but this is not the_ case. Starting with a Joint heritage and a common legal basis, each nation has developed a system which in most of its essentials is entirely different from the other. “Mr. Griffin. the warden of the University scttlemcntiil Liverpool. who has had the opportunity of living and studying extensively in bath the United States and the United Kingdom, has produced. as the result of eight years’ ‘research work a thoroughly good treatise on City Government in those countries, based on a comparative analysis of organizations in their cities. As he ls chcifiy interested in the mod- ern phases of that development he confines his attention almost ex- clusively to the pc iod from i870 on. giving only the riefest outline of the earlier period, because prior to 1870 local government as a sci- ence scarpely existed."

To this end he considers the evo- lution of cities, with emphasis upon the unfolding of problems common to both countries, and concentrates his attention upon a few of the major ones inherent in city govern- ment, which has, or should have. as its function the adjustment of per- sonal interests to the common good, conservation of health, arrange- ments for leisure, the education oi‘ the future citizen. the care of those dependent. and the provision of pub- lic services. '

“The three chief factors in City government are the framework of that Government. its finances and its relations with the central auth- orities (State and National Legisla- tlons.) In his comparison of the two coilntrics. Mr. Griffith shows how the United States cities have struggled against a framework bns- ed on irdcfective political theory, “the separation of powers." whereas the United Kingdom has had the advantage of a framework based on, ihc “cciilmon sense solution" in‘, compromise of the possible and practicable with theory.) On the other hand. tho extreme decentral- ization iii the United States is con- tlnstefl with parliamentary control in Britain to the advantage of the former.

weakiiess of the two systemsls best observed. The strength of Britain lies in the dignity of the public of- flccs and the respect accorded those who hold them, while Americans rather scorn those who administer their Government, and the corrup- tion seemingly inseparable from the spoils system has been notorious.

But ln spite of all that can be said of the cities in the United States. Mr. Grlflith inclines to the, view that "because they are more: democratic and,on a better financial basis. they are on the whnle.build- ing on sounder and more desirable lines than those in Britain. although the evils oi’ the British systems are probably less difficult to eradicate.
