The interests of our livestock producers and shippers in this Province are apparently of no concern whztlciei" to our fctlcral Iuircancrztls. 'll1ey—:i5 .\lr. b. Ii.

It is so obviously onc-stdetl that it might well serve as a brief for the big packing interests who alleg- ediv are behind the whole transaction. The \ii-\vs it exprcs-t‘: arc quite contrary to those vt-ircd Ull itcllitll of the people of Newfound- land by the St. John's Telegram, in an editorial which was quoted iri these columns a few days ago.

The speriii’ reasons set forth by the Trade Ctttiiiiiissitiiici" ‘Fir iisiocizig to the rcstrictioiis should be answered in equally specific terms. ‘Ibis should not he difficult. One of the chief complaints, Illlttlfll’, the allegedly higher cost of l1t‘(‘f sold on the hoof in Newfoundland, arises out of tltc uhstuvc t-f :i llflifl’ Ceiling, for which the .\'-'\vfliii:;d"iiitl . ri: not our lsltztiti shippers, are l'CS]J0tl.-l)l(‘.

Of timely interest and value is an illusrrated booklet which has been written for distribu- tion (lllfltlQ Navy Week, Nov. 21-27, by Lt.- Commantlci- William Strange, R.C.N.V.R., and issued by the Navy League of Canada. In language suitable for school boys and girls, the booklet tells the story of Canada's wartime naval activities, riiid.it is indced one worth the telling. A leading article is devoted to convoys,

and we are reminded that "one of the very first,

battles ever fought over a convoy took place between the Romans and the Carthaginians hitnrlrctls of years ago." Modern iticthczls of convoy organization and operation arc cited, note being taken, among other things, of the fact the sailing of a convoy docs not nican that the responsibility of the naval authorities ashore has ended. livery mile the convoy travels across the ocean must be carefully plotted oit the map in the Operation Room ashore. Re- ports of U-boats received front other ships, or from aircraft steadfastly patrolling throughout

the daylight hours, nre immediately studied Ind then sent on to the commending officer of the escorts. If necessary, the course of the convoy’ will be altered by signal from shore, in order i0 avoid sortie sub-infested area.

Equally interesting are the chapters devoted to new ships of the Royal Canadian Navy, to the naval training centres (the "Queen Char- lottc” is but one of eighteen stretched across Canada); the Women's Navy, the Merchant Marine. the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets. mid the Navy Lqgne.

In the centre of the booklet is a group of photographs illustrating the Navy League! work through its seamen’: clubs. flliel-Cflgl-le is making a special appeal at this time for magazines for these clubs, of which they can use a practically unlimited quantity. _

Means should be found 0f placing this ex- cellent publication in the hands of every ‘Can- ladian school boy. Apart from its educational value, it makes—or should make to F1)’ mrmal youngster-grind and exciting reading.

It is not an army we must train for war; if l5 a nation, declared Woodrow Wilson on his final tragic campaign of the U.S.A. trying to convince the leaders of that great Republic to enter the League of Nations. He teamed by bitter experi- ence that it is “too little and too late" to begin \'.'.\ speeches to offset selfish Pacifism once war hats been declared. e a n A reader writes: "Mtiong the names mention- ed throughout southern Queens as a. candidate at the Progressive Conservative convention in Charlottetown on the 25th inst. is Mr. Shaw McMillan, ex-M.P~.P. of Bel-fast. Mr. Mc- Millan, who is a lumber miller, enjoys the good- will of all and has contested several elections and represented the Fourth District of Queen's from i923 to 1927 with the largest majority ever given a Conservatiye ganglidalae in that district".

The British Ministry of Economic Warfare cstimates that the Germans have extracted near- ly I3 billion dollars from the occupied European countries. In addition, the Germans have taken exports from those countries to an estimated value of more than five billion dollars, "paid ior" in the German blocked-mark system of riot paving for imports. making a grand total of eighteen billions. Figures such as those give some idea of the extent to which the Nazis have looted Europe. That is the size of the bill which is to be presented when the day of reckon- ing comes. Is Germany to be allowed to wiggle out of this one so she can IJYCDB-Ye 311031" W31‘ in 2o years? I

The story of a marine captain who said he knew, before he died of wounds, what it was to be crucified, is told in a letter found beside his body in the steaming No Man's Land of New Guinea. "I know now how Christ fclt on the Cross," Capt. Herschel Horton, 29, scrawled on the pages of a small notebook in a letter to his parents on the tenth day of his ordeal after tcll- ing of a final attempt to stand. "A lap shot me in the shoulder and neck as I weakly sat there," he wrote, "and I thought my time had come. But, no, I sit and lie lierc in this terrible place, wondering not why God has forsaken me, but why He is making inc suffer this terrible end. I am not afraid to die.

Criticizing the Godboirt Government's propos- al to enter into industrial management by buying out the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Co., Opposition Leader Maurice Duplessis put it this way: “The operation of the liquor trade is the only experience which the Quebec (‘vovernment has had In exercising a state monopoly and its record in this business certainly is a poor guar- antee of what to expect if it should enter the elec-

The merchandise sold by the commission is adulterated in n propor- Iion of 7o per cent ivater to 3o per cent alcohol. The law is violated and the elements of honest trade are scorned. Everybody will admit that this is a very poor guarantee of success or of sanc and fair administration in other lines of com- mcrce. Furthermore," Mr. Duplessis continu- ed, “in this liquor trade the Godbout govern- ment forces the consumer to pity s direct relief tax on every bottle bought, when everybody knows that there is no more direct relief paid to the people by the provincial government. It is merely getting taxes on an adulterated product. itbtainiiig money under false pretences," the
