Air Disaster

”There are no survivors." This brief nies.sa;:e frotn the Air Force rescue squad told the story of Sun- day's disastmits M.C.A. plane crash iii a swamp fifteen miles southwest of Quebec. It meant that seventy- three (latutdiatts returning from a holiday in Britain and the si.x-man

crew of the biz :tii'rr.'tft had been killed nutrigzltt in the worst air tragetly in (liitiatiiuti liistory. The

plane had been chartered by an Ontario veterans-' association and all but two of tlte pa.-'seii,gei'.s. Mr. Allan I.nve and his tivc-year-old son Peter, of Cltarlottetowtt. were from Ontario centres, most of them former British servicemen returning after a vain- lion in tlte I'nited Kingdom.

This terrible tragedy will be felt personally in ttte Old Country its well as in (latiada. causing heart- break to hundreds of people and leaving many homes desolate. It was flashed across the world as one of the worst disasters in aviation his- tory and ltere in Prince Edward Island it has brought shock and concern to all our citizens. There will be the deepest sympathy for the relative.s of the accident victims, particularly for those in our midst who were expecting that the plane would touch at Gander and enable the Loves to fly to Moncton by another plane. Though not a native of this Province, Mr. Love was well known here and was very popular with his associates in the Income Tax Department.

We are also particulzirly interest- ed here in the. Maritime Central Airways, which was very much an Island enterprise in its origin and which has enjoyed a splendid record in air safety. Since its formation in 1941 it has operated its scheduled services without a single fatality, and this fact is worth recalling in the present instance. Even with the most careful supervision. accidents cannot altncetlter be avoided. What caused Sundayis disaster has yet to be determined. and it is important to all concerned that the. fullest in- quiry he made. The Federal Depart- ment of Transport has already mov- ed in this matter, but it will work under riifficulties in view of the appalling I-ompetettess of the destruc- tion and loss of life.

Farm Credit

Those who are interested in the aizricultural affairs of this Province -and what Islander isn't?-will cotigratulitte those who plzinncd the "(lountry tl.'tuciis" held at St. Dun- Itan's i'tiixersity last week and those who participated in the discussions and drew up the recomtncttdations.

Many siibjects were discussed. all of them irnpot-tatit. Several recom- mendations were made, all of them practical. But pcrliaps the most im- portant i-ottcltisinn from a long range standpoint was the one deal- ing with the need for long term credit for llI'ttlWx'.'1l")' capital invest- ment. This has been talked about by

successive llrltvittciztl Governments for many years. llut nothing has been done about it. doubtless be-

cause the estaltlishment of such I fund has seemed to called for too heavy a burden on the Province'I financial resources. That, of course, is a matter which must be consid- ered. Nevertheless, it is a practical necessity if young men are to be persuaded to stay on the land. as most of them would like to do if only their initial expenditures could be spread over a number of year). lix rnonths' or a year's credit-when It to available, it often isn't-is no Ml0Iy(lllIglIIInWh0muIQ.lf ho to to farm efficiently. have good stttoch, sound buildings. adequate.

the purpose of the fund. It would be enough if the fund could be kept reasonably solvent. The few losses which would occur ftom time to time-as in other business ventureI -need not be particularly serious, if proper supervision were maintain- ed: and, in any, case, the incentive the fund would provide to agricul- tural development would in the long run more than offset the occasional uneconomic investment.

It is really time that some such plan as recommended by the ”Coun- try Causus" were taken up in earn- est.

West lndian Complaint

At the Couchiching Conference on International Affairs the Premier of Barbados, Sir Grantley Adams, complained of what he called ”the exclusion of West Indians" from Canada. A specific coniplaiiit was that West Itidian students at two Canadian Universities had been ap- proached by immigration officials and told that "the time is drztwing near to go home,"

This is not the first time that a West Itidian official has e.x'pt'cssed criticism of Canada's initniuration laws. In fact. for years West Indians have felt that they were looked down upon by Canadians. This is probably an exaggetatirttt. Neverthe- less, it is true that imtnigtation of West Indians into this country is subjected to severe t-estt-ictiotis. There may be sound economic rt-,1. sons for it. But whether there are or not, it is understattdal-le that the West Indians should feel sliulited. especially in view of the fact that they are permitted to etttcr Britain in unlimited numbers; and there is no indication that this policy will be changed when the colonies enter into dominion status.

Whatever economic ju.stit'ication there may be for keeping West Indians in general out of this coun- try, there would seem to be none for curtailing the residential privileges of young persons studying at our colleges and universities. This, sure- ly, is carrying the restrictions too far. If Canada is to take her proper place in the Commonwealth and re- tain the goodwill of the newer mem- bers, it would seem that every en- couragement should be given stu- dents from other parts of the Com- monwealth. This is a matter that should be looked into. whatever else may or may not be done about the immigration laws.
