CHARLOTTITOWN. THURSDAY. AUG-. 38. 1951 Frelght- Rate Equalization

The railways have filed with the Board of Transport Commissioners a study on freight rate equalization which will be the subject of public hearings commencing Sept. 10. Two alternative plans are proposed in the study. one covering a general levelling off of rates but retaining the statutory preferences such as the Crows Nest Pass rates and the 20 per cent advantage on cer- nin Maritime rates.

The other plan, favoured by the rail- ways, would retain existing differences be- tween east and west bound shipments be- tween various regions.

Obviously the first plan is to be pre- ferred by Maritimers although it might be objected that it should go further in en- abling our products to enter the central Canadian markets. In opposing the actual disadvantages of existing rates we should

equal to twice the aggregate period of ab- sences from Canada during those 20 years."

Under the Blind Pensions Act, allow- ances are paid in -the s:un'e manner as they are under the Old Age Pensions Act, the only change made being that the residence clause has been dropped from 20 to 1G years.

Those who are eligible for the Old Age Pensions Act before January 1. 1952 with the means test, should continue forward- ing their applications to the Old Age Pen sion Board.

It should be noted that legislation cov- ering assistance ..to persons in the 65 to 69 year group has not been yet proclaimed, and the Provincial Govcrnment, while fav- orable to the scheme, may require the sanction of the Legislature beforc taking action with Ottawa on a fifty-fifty basis.

Pay For P. 0.VI.

The demand that Canadian soldiers be paid by the Japanese for every day spent in concentration camps will be difficult I0 justify. Japan was not a signatory to the conventions providing PY0teCll0l'l 501' PI'150'l' ers of war and her treatment of them, which left very much to be desired indeed cannot be considered in the light of a breach of those conventions.

Apart from that, it is only officers who are entitled to receive the pay of equivalent ranks in the captorls forces, supposing the conventions to be in force. Other ranks are entitled only.to proper pay for al'l.V work they are "required to do, which itself would represent a substantial sum for the unpaid forced labour which the Japanese imposed.

' Unsatisfactory as was their treatment at the hands of the Japanese, it would seem that Canadians who were prisoners of wai in the East should look to our own Gov- ernment for compensation. '

Winston Churchill has remarked on more than one occasion that some soc- ialist experiments in the realm of nation- alization may be irremediable.

Socialism and Communism have in com- mon one quality that does not exist in pther political faiths. For both Socialism and Communism strike at the roots of the principle of private ownership, upon which the Rule of Law and democratic constitu- tional practice rest. The consequences, therefore, that follow in the wake of a socialist regime, extend far beyond a po- litical reverse in which they lose the reins of power. A Socialist victory, likewise, means a change in the whole economic and political system, not just I change of party and of policy. '

OUR FOREST HERITAGE

Sir.-I have been led to write this article through a stat.err.ei.t from Premier Jones appearing in our local paper a few weeks ago. in which he expressed concern about Prince Edward Island losing its population by the cxouus oi the young men to the Malnlaviu Provinces and the U 5.

Of course here in California the growth is faster on accfunt of the mild climate and the amount of sunshine we get.

r-nonrnrrioiv AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

March 25th, 1948, the Government gave Prohibition ll knock-out blow: but though it went down for the count it will be back in in the ring agsln. for this Province is becoming fed up with all that is wasted in liquor and its consequent. mischief. Prohibition can be enforced. For the first 18 years of its life the law was res- pected. becausc the Government was behind it; but then the forces of propaganda got busy. The Gov- ernment.-was told this law is un- natural and cannot be enforced People want-liquor and are going to get it, hook or crook. The brew- ers said to the Government "you had better give the people what they want. legally, and reap what. profit. you can from the sale." Then the Government. convinced of what seemed to be the truth, got. bury and finally convinced the people that this Prohibition law can't be enforced, and the majority fell under the forces of propaganda. Laws people don't. like can be enforced. I remember when tai- laws first began to be mooted. Poll- ticians turned pole at mention of the idea. Long ago, volci-I became well used to these laws. Grinding tax lavfs are now enacted and peo- ple kcep them. .
