The point which our Toronto friends d0 llOl set-in to qin-tsiris that niitil such “equitable ad- justment" his ‘ot-eu made. comments on our “right lo exist" as a Provinvt‘ are irrelevant and iiniiertineiit. lf we were criiniuails in the dock. llritish law would safeguard us against having our case prejudiced in this fasliiou. The mat- ter would he xufi indict‘. The Court ill lllii F1156 being the l\'o\\i'll Litininiissitm, why not wail tliilil its findings li:i\ c litrcii ilt-teriiiiticwl? Can we lu- lllllllllll for \usiir't‘llllg, in the circumstances. "some sllll-lvl‘ influence" al work. especially since our case has not only been prejiillgcd but ntisrcpre-ciitcil ll_\ our Ontario contemporary?

If the lilobr and .\lail had studied more at- tentively the brief tire-enter] by the Charlotte- town lloaril of 'l"r:itle, it would not have had to cw~iiiiiiziiii of the lack of constructive sugges-

tions for a ljlhlllltlll, lfor example. the bricf points out that because we arc predominantly an acrrailturzll province the majority 0f goods and services offcrt-il for sale in Prince Edward Island are niziiiufzictiiikid or originate ill thfi Provinces of lliitario and (jjuehcc. In the price we pay for these goods and services there is in- cluded a generous allowance for profits, salaries, iiiaiiagt-iiieiit. and central overhead. In this niaiiiier ivc are coulriliiitiiig to the large incomes wliicli have tended to concentrate in the central sections of thc country. Reference is made to the stalcn -iit of the Coihmissioner of Federal Income Tax, to the effect that the collections of income tax from Ontario represent in part

a collection of taxes earned iii other parts of

Canada, but lliiyillllC iii (Jiitario because the head offices of the large corporations arc situated there. In so far as tlic taxes on these large in- comes are collected lry the Federal Govern- ment and spent throughout the whole of the territory from which the incomes have been de- rived, there is no complaint. But in so far as these taxes are collected by individual provinces and used for the hem-fit of those provinces to the t-xclt-isiivn of the rest of the country, it is submitted that an iiijtisticc is being worked. In Prince lidwarrl Island we have no large incomes earned in other parts of the country on which to levy income tax. and at the sanic time we are contributing heavily to those incomes on which taxes are. levied in other tiroviiices for the bene- fit of those provinces alone.

The suggestion of the (fltarlottetown Board of 'l'r.'ule is that for the purpose of equitable znljtistineiit, all collections of income taxes should be made by the Federal Government. This is a strong point. but llic Globe and .\Ia.il ignores it. Indeed. we untlerstaitrl that the

' Ontlrio Government is actively opposed, and is

preparing to urge before the Roivell Commis- sion its right to collect all income taxes. Another example of inequitable adjustment is the L‘..\'Ol'l)llZll'llI freight rates on Maritime pro- duc-t-s into the Central Cztnatlian markets. We thought we had settled this question when, on the \l'CCOI‘lllllCl"l(lIlll0l‘| of llic Duncan Commis- sion, 19.26, the lllaritimc Irrcight Rates Act was passed; but our Central Canadian friends ex- erted their influence to offset llic advantage of this legislation. This matter was not dealt with at the Cliarlottetovirn sitting of the Rowell Com- mission because it, along with other transporta-

_ti0n handicaps. will be presented by the Trans-

portation Commission of the hlaritimc Board of Trade, which is supported by each of lhc Mari- time Provinces.

"Looking over the copies of Hansard as they come from Ottawa,” says the Monetary Times. “one is struck with the factthat of the 245 members elected to represent the people in par- liament there are relatively few who make any real contribution to the discussions or are heard 0f, during the session. It is realized, of course. that a man’: value ianot always to be judged by the number of times he speaks, or the length of or eloauence of his addresses. Some men

yet give very» sound advice in a round table conference. But the fact remains that these men as a group are elected to look after the business of the country, and yet when any dif- ficult problem arises it is considered necessary to appoint a commission to deal with the mat- ter. Members of these commissions are often public officials in some other capacity and if they draw double salary while doing one job it is obviously unfair to the public.

“Members of parliament especially during ‘the parliamentary session should be available for work on commissions, committees, investigations and what not without extra pay. Otherwise the whole procedure is not in accordance with sound business principles.

"In an industrial company if an executive were taken from the production department and sent to another to make an investigation or to co-operate with that other department in fiiid- mg new ways and means of getting business, lIe would not draw extra salary or allowances and there is no reason why government business should be dune differently from ordinary busi- ness,

“The sessional allowance for members of the House of Commons is $4,000, and is I055, of course, in the provincial legislatures. but in the aggregate the amounts expended rtiii iiilo hun- dreds of thousands of dollars. -

"\\'ith 245 members of parliament and scv eral hundred provincial legislators, the ivondei" is that commissions are INCCSSZIT)’. If the ses- sion is too short let it be lengthened.

Giving an oyster a bath has become as ini- portaitt a job in the modern oyster industry as the baby’s bath is iii the nursery. In the case of the oysters, the “bath tubs" in U.S.r\. are nionel pots, in which. after having been shtick- ed, the shell fish are thoroughly washed by a

process of agitating the water, says a White’

Metal News letter. Nlonel is used for the pots as wcll as for the skimming and sorting ap- paratus because. being corrosion-resistant and immune to chemical action, the metal is a safe- guard against contamination of the oysters by rust and other impurities. l1! i

"I could no longer conscientiously serve a government which I saw to be the foe of so many things I had been taught Germany stands for. The moral law and loyalty to the true Germany make stirrcndcr l0 National Socialism impossible. I cannot do otherwise. whether as a German or as a Christian.” Dr. Meyer resigned from the diplomatic service last May, but for reasons beyond his control delayed stating his position until tlic other night at a dinner given in his honor by the lfetlcral Coun- cil of Churches of Christ in America and the Universal Christian Council of Life and Work.

The Indian Governments of Bihar and the United Provinces have taken a further step in their plans for the control and development of the sugar industry. Their decision to appoint a joint committee to consider the use of the thousands oftons of molasses available in sugar factories js welcomed by the irzlustry. The committee's terms of refererrr are wide and in- elude the devising of ways and means of start- ing the manufacture of power alcohol, considera- tion of the best method of manufacture and thr- mixing of power alcohol with petrol, and ex- ploration of other sible uses for molasses.
