ii-

“m. {arm priHlllCllflll becoming an ever in- creasing factor in Cuiizidzils ivar effort, special inipoi'i;tiiri- zniziclics to the annual meetings which are being hold this week by our provincial agri- ciiliiirril xissociziiioiis. l-"zirin Front" published iii Saturday's Guardian, lll€l'(' are many (zirin jiroblcnls to be solved, and a iiccvssziry ])l'l'lll<lL' to their solution is through discussion among the farmers themselves.

Linked with the production problem is that of ti‘<'\i1.-'pr'ii't;ilirii\. and it is only necessary to cite the exiuing precarious nature of our con‘ neciion with llit’ mainland, to show how handi- capped our farmers are in this regard One of the most encouraging signs of the times is the lup- pnri which mainland newspapers are giving us in our claini= for better transportation. It is now being realized that this problem cannot be shelved until after the war, but must be con- sidcred as an essential factor in the war effort this Province is making. That was the attitude taken all along in these columns, and it is the only one which Ottawa has any right to adopt.

It is to be hoped that, as in the past, our farmer delegates will find their stay in Char- lottetown pleasurable u well as profitable, and that their conventions will be, an unqualified success.

“National Unity"

n bit of poditical history was given to the House of Commons last week by Hon. H. A. Bruce, who first recalled the circumstances un- der which Sir John A. Macdonald adopted the name “Progressive Conservative." There were in L'pper Canada the High Tories, under Sir Allan Napier MacNab, and the Moderate Con- aervatives undcr Mr Macdonald; and then there were thc Moderates and the Clear Grits. The Clear Grits were so called by their leader Mr. George Brown because, he said, they were all sand and no dirt-clear grit all the way through. The continual uncertainty of government with so many parties led Sir John Magdonald, on Fcb. 9, 1854, to attempt m enlargement of his party, ivhen he stated: "Our llffl should be to enlarge the hounds of our party so as to embrace every person desirous of being counted es a Progressive Conservative.

He succeeded speedily in his objective. Al- most the only opposition in Upper Canadapwaa from George Brown's Clear Grits, who later on changed their name to the "Reform" party; but e few of that party were dissatisfied with Mr. Brown and they became the Baldwin Reform- crs, and ultimately emerged the Liberals. To- day we have the Hepburn Liberals and the King Liberals and Parliament is now witness- ing fhc gradual disintegration of the Liberal party. The first to break away was the Can- ada party formed by the member for Lcval-Two Mountain; (Mr. Lacombe).

Then there was formed the Bloc Populairc. headed by the member for Beauharnois-Ls- praire (Mr. Raymond). There in still a. rump of this party who have not u yet crossed the floor of the House but who broke away from (‘he Prime Minister on Bill No. 8o of last ses- sion, to amend the National Mobilization Re- sources Act, 1940. Then there is the group of some forty Liberals led by the member for Richelieu-Vercheres (Mr. Cardin). There ll some uncertainty as to the present position of the latter. Ir he_still a follower of the Prime Minister or not, and where do these other forty men who joined him stand now? _ _ u

"According to the Prime Minister, howcvcr, “id Dr, Bruce, "The Progressive Conservatives

V have still another crime to answer for, namely,

that of having frequently changed our leader. I my to him that this is the best proof that we ere a truly democratic party, whereas the only way in which the members of his party can register their dissatisfaction with his leadership is by breaking away and forming the new groups to which I have just referred."

Wartime Controls

Will wartime controls be continued long af- tcr the war is over? This question crops up repeatedly in many forms and is evidently a mat- ter of considerable public interest end specula- tion. A writer in the Fortnightly Luv Journal has some helpful comments in this connection.

Wartime controls are based, in general, on three Acts of the Dominion Parliament. First is the Wartime Measure; Act, which gives the Govcrnor-in-Council (i.e., the Cabinet) power during war to make such orders and regulations ls he may deem advisable for the security. de- fpjjcg, pm“, order and welfare of Canada. TllCSC orders may cover, among other things. transportation, trading, exportation, importa- lion, production and manufacture. The War Measures Act was first enacted in I914-

The Department of Munitions and Supply Act in, on the contrary, a creation of the present ivar, Undcr it the Minister of Munitions and Supply has bower to restrict or regulate my

As emphasized in “Thc'

trade or industry in Canada or any munitions of war or supplies. “Supplics" is defined in the Act broadly enough to include practically cvcry- thing, . '

The third statute which forms the basis of Canada's Wartime Controls is the National Re- sources Mobilization Act, 1940. Under this Act the Governor-in-Council may make war orders and regulations requiring persons to place them-_ selves, their services and their property at the disposal of the Govc nmcnt. It was under this Act that the National War Services Regulations were established.

The Privy Council has held that “however the wording of sections 9i and 92 (of the Bri- tish North America Act) may have laid down a framework under which, as a general principle, the Dominion Parliament is to be excluded from trenching on property and civil rights in the Pro- vinces of Canada, yet in a sufficiently great emergency, such as that arising out of war, there is implied the power to deal adequately with that emergency for the safety of the Dominion as a whole." The War Measures Act, and presumably the other two Acts referred to above are therefore infra virus the Dominion, as are the regulations made thereunder.

This power, of course, resides in the Dominion only during the war or other emergency. The War Measures Act confers the powers on the Governor-in-Council “in the event of ivar, iii- vasion or insurrection, real or apprehended.” The war is presumed to last until d proclama- tion is issued dcclaring that it no longer exists. The last war ended. for legal purposes, on Jan. 10, x920, on which date His Majesty rati- fied thc Versailles Treaty.

The D0minion’s power to make laws, or to delegate to the Governor-in-Council or others the right to make laws, respecting the economic

issue of a proclamation that the state of war no longer exists. That is assuming, of course. that there will not be any other great national cm- ergency then existing. Consequently the war- time controls will then have to disappear in large measure unless an amcndincnt is iuailc to the British North America Act,

That independent members of Parliament still can affect decisions is seen in the case of thc C.P.R.’s sale of I75 Holstein cattle on April f2 and I3. The C.P. announced the sale would be held at Waukesha, “finsconsin. Mr. John Blackmore, N.D., M.P., then asked in the Idoiisc that steps should be taken to keep the cattle in Canada, with the result the C.P. sent out an amended notice that the sale would be trans- ferred to Markham, Ont.

Dr. J. C. Tidmarsh, Montreal, was asked by Mount Royal Community to address them on the subject of health in the time of war. He stressed the importance of variety in dict and said that people needed to be educated in plan- ning propcrly balanced meals. He advocated regular exercise as against that taken in spas- modic bursts of enthusiasm, and for maintaining morale, he remarked that a job, some type of work or responsibility was the best means of keeping one’: mind off individual troubles.

Evidently preparations are underway to give Japan battle in the Pacific otherwise than in the Solomon Islands. A conference of the Paci- fic War Council was held in Washington last week to discuss “How can we best hit the Ja- panese from now on.” The Council was in session for an hour and three-quarters, the long- est session ever held. Hon. Dr. Nash, New Zealand’: representative afterwards declared that there had been "a complete analysis of the Pacific position,iwhere the striking points are, and where we want to meet them" (the Ja-
