A great historian once said that the British Empire was won In a moment of absent-mmcledness. It is tme that there was little calculating foresight or diplomatic ski l display- ed tn acquiring It.

UNEMPLOYMENT Bin-Unemployment is rapidly In-

creasing in this province. We now, have more than seven hundred Idle ' men in Charlottetown and also a] great many tn Summer " . Bowls; and Georgetown. Without questlonl this ls a problem for the governw merits to solve. First of all the gov- ernments should see that fair and

reasonable wages should be paid. In a time of so much unemployment as this the Federal government when supplying money to the province should carefuily consider what per- cegfage was going to be paid out to ur.

We reed of $200,000 for harbour improvements at Wood Islands. We can be assured that a. very small percentage of this money will be paid out to the unemployed of this province. Harbour improvements f‘ think means extensive dredging. etc., and as our province has not. any machinery for this kind of work the money would have to be paid to outside companies. There is no other amount. of arly Importance In Ltie estimates for this province w relieve the unemployed.

What Is to become of all the Idle men In Charlottetown? Spring is just; around the corner and not a word about; any working projects.

Is It possible that: the govern- ment expects the city to find work for all those men? Dld l-he local goverinncnt make a sincere effort w obtain money from the Federal gov- ernment. for the Brighton bridge project? It applears to me and many more that. there was not very strong or determined efforts made in this case. On the other hand some per- son or probaby a few persons had SOIIII: great. pull with the Federal Finance Minister as the $200,000 was railroaded through In a hurry. Now tilts or any other amount would be very acceptable If t.‘ nloney was going tn relieve unem- ploynienl.

This car ferry at Wood Islands may be of some benefit. to the prov- ince but at. the present. time the unemployment problem should re-l eelve first; consideration. Some big project should be commenced that would employ a great. number of men.

The Brighton and West; River Bridges would end unemployment in Charlottetown. It: is needless to ex- plain the benefits that tourists, farmers and business men would derive from those projects. they have already been fully explained froln the platform and in the press.

The wage earners of Charlotte- town are dtscoiuaged the way things have been going. A few days’ work now and then during the summer months is by no means going to keep them. I read a lot about. bour- ists coming to our provime and it helps to a great extent to have them visit iis. but ff something is not. done soon the tourists will visit a province that has a large num- ber of idle, hungry men. The Legis- lative Assembly are soon going to meet. and perhaps some kind-heart.- ed member will! take up the unem- ployment question and gel; some- thing under way in the euity spring. Dt)ll'l; leave off eveiytahtng until midsummer, as has been done In the past.

If our local government was more generous the city officials would give more, but anyhow let them get busy and give the men some work, and try to get started before the weather gets exceeding y warm.

FASHION NOTES

Sir,-—I remember, when I lived In a. small town, that I greeted every friend, newly returned from New York, with the anxious ques- tion, “Whnt were they wearing when you left?"

Lang ago I discovered how need- less that. question was, and hav- ing recently come from the great city, I take this opportunity to re- port on my findings.

Here In Charlottetown. "they" are wearing exactly the same coats, dresses. suits, hats, shoes, and oth- er articles of apparel that "they" are wearing tn New York, or for

that matter, London and Parts.

There are no fashion secrets nnymore. The same styue books nre open to the secluded farmer's wife and to the most. cosmqioll- tan lady. The same patterns are available to the humblest seam- stress as to the most sought after modtste.

or even Parts.

seeing her cherished dross Wm triumphantly by her moat hated "friend". This happens almost as often at; fashionable igathcrlnll B at. a vfllage-dress-dance. But there til no help for It. There Is a copy- rlght law on styles as . Well l8 books, but how enforce It whflll the mere tiwlst of a ribbon, can technically label a gown as d11- ferent. though It Is absolutely similar tn every other detail! Every dress manufacturer has scouts pntd to ferret out and copy anything new tn style even be- roi-e the original t: completed.

Apropos of this point, when 1 left New York, I. Miller and Co.. one of the moat select “booterlea” on the Avenue. prominently displayed In their window. a Spring slipper. new In color and style. A few days later I saw the same shoe, or it. looked the same In color and material and style, In a 1!! Charlottetown. The pi-loe here was just one thtrd. Why, or how, I do not know.

Coming down to details. black coats In New York, as well as here, were predominant. The bestgress- ed womenmhose seen In the fIn- est shops, theatres, cafes, wore simple black coats trimmed with silver fox! My loyal Island heart leaped with Joy when I noted how often two silver fox scarves were worn at once. Surely, thought I, many of these must come from Prince Edward Island!

In the matter of hats. I believe

the women of the large plttea are-

g-utded more by what: is becoming than those of smaller towns. or amuslngly enoughdlhan thoseof the outlying districts of New York lt- self. The women of Brooklyn, or the Bronx. for Instance, stolcally’ wore the extreme cossack hats. the absurd pill box, the grotesque witch's peak. with less reservation than dfd her ulster on Park Av- enue.'A truly sophisticated woman adapts the prevailing mode to her own type, while the less self-as- sured one swallows it whole!

I saw nothing new In the Spring displays. As always, suits claim- ed the centre of the stage. 'I‘he adorable little bolero packet suft was featured. but the regulation mimnlsh suit of tweed or serge or worsted or flannel, was still the most popular. Perhaps more ls made of contrasting "accessories" in New York. For example. n. navy blue suit. hat, shoes, are worn wfth brown blouse. scarf, bag. gloves, or w"'th red or yellow blouse etc. A brown suit is combined with vivid green, yellow, or red; a. gray suit becomes more effective when worn with touches of plum -oir the new carnelian shade; a tuiiqudse blue tweed may have a title red blouse —a Venetian red Jabket. Is subdued by a dark-green skIrf,—an lnfinne variety of colors are arranged to make the Indispensable Spring sult- interesting.

Agafn. the most expensive and beautiful suits and coats were trim- med tn silver fox. However, in the display windows of the best knollvn furrlers on Ffiftih Avenue. luxuriant cmSs fox scarves were as much tn evidence as those of silver fox. Thus, not only need we n21: cast yearning eyes towards the great cities, as far as style is concern- ed. but we can be proud to know that for her loveliest adornment, the most; fashionable ladies, every-

where, are dependent. tn part at least. on our own little Island!

RAILWAY “HIGH ENTQNCES"

Sir.~In a recent letter to the Guardian, Professor Jaekman of the University 0f ‘Boron-to charac- terized the Canadian Nattonul Re- ca/pttalfzatton Btll as "high finance." and drew attention to a neat bit of legerdenmin whereby the Bill provides that the accumulated de- ftcits of the Canadian National wttI In future be shown as a. surplus! An equally remankabie example of “bhwk mfllzlc" In railway-govern- ment finance ts the astonishing decimation that. present bookkeep- lng methods, whereby loans made to the Canadian National Railway and shown bot/h on the Dominion Balance Sheet and the Canadian National Balance Sheet. constitute a “Duplication of Liabilities."

This contention wtli bear the most careful investigation. It ls the read crux of the whole case for writing off liabilities tn execs of

31.500.000.000 from the railway balance sheet; for the proposal that the railway accounts shall

"We! asntn be required to remain to remind the public ct the facts 0f the use; for allowing the pub- fished results to ignore entirely the interest on the hundreds of millions 0:‘ dollars of money borrowed by the W-XDBYEI’: w lend w the rall- way: and for the highly Interest- ing thesis that, notwithstanding that the taxpayers still pay ffxed Interest rates on money they lent to the railway. tlhe latter will be en- titled to ream It u extraneous m railway liabilities.

This set-up was adopt/ed In 1920 by the Minister of Finance, Btr Henry Dmyton, with the full approval of Parliament.

J. C. Saunders. deputy minister of finance, drew attiervtlon to the change In his annual report for 1920. and stated that George Edwards, of the Toronto fin-n. Edwards. Morgan and Company, had been consulted, and that they had sought to have the accounts "set up more in QOMOPIII-li-Y will): those of banks. railway corporations and other flnanclaljxistl-tuttons." It Is incon- oelvalble that a combination of the best legal, financial and accounting experts In the country would. after mature consideration, set; up a system of accounts as bet/ween the railway and the government which Was "without corporate precedent anywhere on the face of the earth," or one which would produce, a “dllbliwllfln of liabilities" prejud- Iolal to the national credlt.

Toe Present Bill goes farther and has translated this misconception. of a dfl-lllllcatlon Into an actual “t llllCfl- tion.’ It is now argued that ‘since these tbems are treated as “non- wflve assets". and Included fn the net debt of Canada, they me ac- ffYIWIBdBW-‘d by the Government, as Wflllen otf" and as "not having any asset value.’ Hence.
