Women's Institutes Convention _ The thirty-third annual convention of the Womcn’s Institutes of Prince Edward Island opens in the Prince of Wales College hall to- morrow, and a large and representative at- tendauce of delegates is expected. The Sub- jects of home economics, social welfare. attri- culture and citizenship will be handled b)’ Qpedﬂl speakers, and the customary reports Wlll be siibiriittcd and discussed. A very special feat- ure will be the presentation of \vinning drama and musical festival numbers at the closing _of the session on Wednesday evening, at which the special speaker will be the well known Can- adian poetess, Miss Edna jaques. This meet- ing‘ is 0p€n to the public and should prove of exceptional interest.

. The gteady progress made by the WOmQIVS Institutes is a matter of general satisfaction, and nowhere has this progress been more marked than in Priiicg Edward Island.

National Clothing Campaign

Between ]\1ne i7 and 29 the Canadian Allied Relief Fund is sponsoring its second National Clothing Collection. The collection is for the millions of the less fortunate lands, for those who have suffered the hideous privations of war, pestilence arid famine, and who are now living in the wake of the catastrophe. The collection seeks 12,000,000 Rifnlﬁllt! "' ‘me from every man, woman and child in Canada. All kinds of clothing and bedding, except feath- er mattresses and willows, are welcome Show» firmly tied in matched pairs, are needed. In- fants’ clothing is desperately lacking in Europe and Asia. The clothing should be washed, if washable; it need not have buttons, as buttons are available in the countries which will be re- ceiving it. "llhe campaign is being llﬁld 110W 5° that rho clothes may be delivered in time for next

iautumn and winter.

Plans have been completed for the launch- ing of the clothing campaign in this Province, lttid it is hoped and expected that this appeal will meet with the same generous response that was given in the previous campaign last October.

Why Ignore The Provinces‘?

Opposition members are taking a strong stand in opposing the King Government's. pro- posal to have the British North America Act amended, without consulting the Provinces, on the vital issue of readjustment of parliamentary representation. One of the most effective speeches on this subiect was made in the House of Commons by Mr. ]ohn Dicfenbakcr, Pro- gressive Conservative member for Lake Centre.

For the moment, Mr. Diefenbaker pointed out, the membership from the Maritime Prov- inces will iiot be decreased; but if our popula- tion in relation to the whole population de- creases, what is to prevent some future Par- liament, without consulting Prince Edward Is- land, Nova Scotia or Nciv Brunswick, from passing an amendment removing the present limitation that the membership of'a province may not fall below its representation in the Senate? As a matter of fact, the late C. C. F. leader, Mr. \Voodswortli, actually did propose to amend the ii. N. A. Act “so that Prince Ed- ward Island would have only its due number and not a number out of proportion to the rest of Canada." (llansard, Nov. 25, i932.)

A reading of Iiansard, Mr. Diefenbakcr maintained, shows that since Confederation hold the contrary view. namely that no material alteration may be made in the B. N. A. ;\ct without consultation with the Provinces. \\'liat is proposed in the Redis- tribution Bill is a material alteration of 1' pro- vision which was established at the Quebec Conference, reiterated at the London Confer- ence, and made part and parcel of the Confed- eration statute. In this connection Mr. Diefen- baker cited a long list of impressive authorities. Here are some of them:

Sir Robert Borden: “I do not see how it would be possible for this Parliament to at- tempt any alteration in the representation of the Provinces ivit-hout the consent of the Prov- fnces ythemselves."--_Feb. 1o, i914. ,

‘ Rt. Hon. Arthur Meigheii: “Undoubtedly

are rights involved therein not represented by of Canada. We could not put ' ofmidng sliari-ighu v on our motion

Crvegarz. “My hon. friend the Minister of lustice esterday argued that Confederation was in Qhhdisljnature of a treaty, and I agree with hitnitththat assertion.‘ That being the case, his suggestion that the matter be approached through avenue of a con- ference with all the Provinces is the first step

19s I925- . '

“Parliamciitf” Mr. Dicfeiibalrcr said. “is being asked to pass an address wliicli tomorrow will become a precedent which may be used to destroy the rights of minorities if in this House there should be a majority desiring to do so." The Conservative party, he added, has since Confederation believed in change based upon experience, but it believes also that the constitu- tion is the bedrock of the rights of minorities and will resist changes affecting the rights of the provinces or of minorities within the provinces, unless the provinces have been duly consulted. The King Government will find it hard to justi- fy any other course.

The Navy stiictly adheres to regulations and tradition. When H. R. H. the Duke of Gloucester was about to visit HMAS Hobart in Sydney he had to choose bctwceh his mous- tache and a naval uniform. The moustache won and he went alboard in Army uniform, for naval officers must be cleaii-shaven or bearded". He was greeted by a party of six mute pipers, who had trained for days for the occasion. Naval traditions demand that members of tlic Royal Family should be piped over the side of HM ships only when in naval uniform. If a midshipman in command of a torpedo bOat had dropped in later for morning tca. they could have blown their hardest, for commanding of- ficers of all naval ‘ships are entitled to be piped.
