lint A Slnecure

With reference to a corresponcient's let- ter in yesterday's issue prospective political leaders should think well about the implica tions of being Premier of this Province. The time is long past when the Government Leader could drop into the Provincial Bui (1'- ing in the course of the day and keep lab.- on what was going on in each department.

The Hon. John A. Mathiesou was the. first to find that the affairs of this Island cannot be properly ordered except by thr. Prime Minister giving his full time to the task. The success or otherwise of the att- ministration depends very largely on the de- gree of attention which the man at the top gives to the task.

Ministers and civil servants for the most part are competent and conscientious nut their efforts are more likely to lead to frus- tration than to the full development of tile Island's possibilities unless co-ordinated by one general authority in close touch with all the other branches of Government and with internal and external conditions.

Someone must always be able to speak with authority in answer to questions of every kind from other Provinces or the Fed- eral Government. A part time Prime Mir.- ister of this Province at this stage would be an intolerable millstone around the peo- ple's neck. s

Army. levy and Air cadets

In this "cold war" age the Cadet Corps of the three services need little argument on their behalf. It may be. however. that as in the past a considerable body of public opinion will again take a sentimental stand against "training our boys to be soldiers.”

Those who are not so sentimental Vllll recall that the need for opposing the might of Nazi Germany was forced upon us in spite of, or rather even because, the British Commonwealth and the United States had allowed themselves to be left far behind in military preparedness. The ability to take a resolute stand at any time after Hitler's rise to power in 1936 would have averted the bloodshed and waste of World War II.

It is not the case. however. that Naval Cadets are being trained to be future sail- -ors. Army Cadets to be soldiers or Air Cn- dets to be airmen. although certainly their training will prove valuable in any of the services. That is merely by the way. The aim of Cadet t.raining today is to develop self-reliance and character, to teach boys to be alert and to channel their energies into socially accepted activities rather than the more dubious ones of the street corner.

' The sugar coating is the uniform and af- filiation of their fathers and brothers in the fighting services. but the meat of the train- ing is chiefly that introduced by the late Lord Robert Baden-Powell for the Boy Scout movement. The services have recog- nized the soundness of B.-P.'s methods. and very largely adopted them to produce manly

boys. - Mr. llannam At Stockliolm

Before representatives of farm organ- izations of 25 nations at Stockholm last week. Mr. H. H. Hannam. president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and ?ad of the world organization. spoke of sur-

1

us food being a menace and a threat to the economy of some nations while if re- mained the greatest need of other countries. Said Mr. I-lannam: ”For world agricultural producers the future is anything but bright. The spectre of uncertainty hangs menaclngly

. over them." .

He expressed great disappointment over the, "negligible progress" made by the Allir-vi nations in translating into practical pro grams the principles laid down at the first FAO conference at Hot Springs in 1943 and endorsed at many international conferences gmce, These principles. said Mr. Hannam. "held out hope and promise to people every- where." but helntimated that little effort had been made to carry them out. Marzv people are still -under-fed, starving. ready to turn to any nation or idea which even promises a. better standard and a fuller

I SCOIIIGCII.

On the other hand. farmers of many nations are concerned over declining agri- mlmnj prices, fear surpluses. and in most cases face rising production costs. Mr. I-Isnnun in the cause to a breakdown in what was once considered normal intema- tlonsl trade. this the result of the currency muddle; to I islets of Intlemstional machinery toulilionthdlmpsctofverloussupportand I F” guhmgtion plans. which may be con- Ior domestic purposes: and

tainty as to what will follow the end of the Marshall Plan. In most of the Northern countries food surpluses already are causing troubles. Like most planners today Mr. Hannam fears dumping. This could be as disastrous to farmers, he states. as the dumping of an army of industrial workers, or doctors. would be to other wage earners. He oe lieves that if surpluses cannot be sold and must be given away they should be moved into world markets at reduced prices by an international agency able to supervise their distribution and see they do not cause trou- ble for producers in the receiving countries Dumping of surplus food. simply for the sake of getting rid of it to aid the market in some particular country. only transfers the economic distress to other producers.

Tonight's Progressive Conservative an- nual meeting in Summerside will be merely a preliminary to the Provincial Convention here next month, but there is no doubt but that Provincial leadership prospects will be to the fore along with the election of of- ficers. 0 Queen Victoria made a wise selection in picking Ottawa as capital. The summer heat of that city. 81 degrees on Monday, is a potent factor in encouraging all concern- ed to finish up Parliamentary business and get" back to more temperate climes. O I O The danger of fire is present: over great areas of this country. and will continue. Even heavier rainfall than experienc.-ti earlier in the week may not be effective in putting out a fire that has a firm hold. Tile only effective remedy is to prevent: fire

Governor George Dundas arrived in Charlottetown from England this date 1859. Previously he had represented Linlithgmv in the British House of Commons. He held the post for ten years, during the critical period of the Confederation of British North America. He was subsequently Lieut.-Gov ernor of St. Vincent. West Indies. and died there in 1880.

Sir.-It. is now about three months since the Attorney Gener- al stated in the Legislature that a full invest.lga.tlon of the alleged conspiracy to defraud the Govern- ment. through the Flshermevn's Loan Board of upwards of 55.000 would be held and a Commission appointed for that purpose.

A few weeks aft.ei-wandrs Judge Sylvcre DcsRoche5. B.A.. C.R.. was appointed the Commissioner. and since that. announcement wias made. nothing further appears to have taken place. As this is a. mat- ter affecting the tax payers ofthe whole Province and King's County in particular. it. is time that act- ion was being taken.

The Attorney General should see that. the investigation takes place at. once and the report of the Ccnimissioner filed with the Gov- ernment. in time. so he will be in a position to present an indlt.e- mcnt. to the grand jury at the coming session of the Supreme Court. in Georgetown. providing the report of the Commissioner holds the alleged conspiracy and theft took place.

Now that. the people are con- gregating in different sections of the County. it. is the general topic; What has become of the Commiss- ion? will it over go ahead. etc?

The parties involved are all in Life Province and it. is an easy rnattx-r to serve them with subpoenas and have them brought before; the Commissioner. New- foundland is now a Province of Canada and t.he arm of the Crim- inal Code extcnds In it. the same as the older Provinces. so there is now no excuse for all those in- volved to escape the Commission- cl”: court. Whcn the trial pro- created in Georgebcwn last. year. the Jury tack into consideration lillli. one of the principles involved um not. in the Province or Court to give cvidorn-e and an a.cqult.t.sl was brought in primarily on this account. -

This is a vase of public money-s and the people are interested. and the matter should be clearcd up. so the Attorn y General and his law officers w be in a position to proceed as nhove sot cut.

i ST. JAMES' CHURCH PETITION

(And P. E. I.)

Excerpt from an address from the elders and congregation of St. James Church. Charlottetown. to the Revs. J. C. Fowler. of Ratho, and Si-meon McIntosh of Aberdeen. a deputation from the Established Church of Scotland to the British North American Colonies; July 21. 1847:

"The undersigned recognize. in the appointment of a second de- putation by the General Assembly to investigate the spiritual destitu- tion of the North American Pro- vinces. e gratifying proof of the sympathy and affection entertain- ed by the Church of Scotland to-

wards all congrcgations in her connection on the Continent: and they cherish a community of

pleasurable feelings. with their hrethern in the sister Provinces. in relation to the increasing ef- ficiency and progressing prosperl:y of the parent church.

"They appreciate the exertions being made to supply the destitute congregations in North America; but they regret to find themselves constrained to invite your most serious attention to the deplorable condition of the congregation which formcrly met in St. James Church. in this Town; several be- longing to it have already joined other denominations. and many who are sincerely attached to the church of their fathcrland arc in painful suspense - they value the importance of religious nrdination. but they cannot avail themselves of religious privileges without sacrificing their connection with. your church - and rloubtlcss the measures in progress by other Presbyterian sorts to organize a congregation in Charlottetown. alienate the minds of such as still maintain their consistency. and cherish their predilection for re- ligious instruction. and Divine or- dinances. as imparted and dis- dispensed by the Church nf Scol- land. unless a Minister be ap- pointed without any delay. in of- ficiate in St. James Church."

The petitioners were assured by the Rev. Mr. Fowler that "the Church of Scotland entertains a very deep affection for the con- gregations of her people. and an earnest desire to promote their splrltusl welfare by every means in her power You l'lIIi(' walr- Od long for 3 Pastor. but you need not despond: everything that can be done will be done to meet your 0350. and I trust. that when n
