KNOCKING FOXES

ln another-colmun we publish a letter from a Massa-`

chussets correspondent and an extract from the Boston Herald. It will be seen from these: first, that there is a growing optimism in the States regarding the future of the fox industry. and, second, that there is a determined » effort being made to knock the business and dissuade' investors putting their money in lt.

Now, it is very.-well known here that nine-tenths of the

people of Prince Edward Island have every confidencf in fox breeding as a highly profitable native industry. li _ has been proved to a demonstration that the ranch-bred -_ pelts of this island cannot be equalled anywhere. It haf,

also been proved that the average price ruling for ranch bred pelts boforo the war, and likely to rule after the war is ample to provide a dividend of from fifteen to eighty- per cent. on a $15,000 to $5.000 capitalisatlon. It has also been proved that for breedingpurposes Prince Edward Island pure bred silver foxes command a higher price for breeding purposes than those from any other part of the

world.

Notwithstanding this the present American Consul has

been circulating reports calculated to damage the interests of the industry in the United States. The editorial repro duced from the Boston Herald is a case in point. lt is now time that action should be taken to present officially the ,` truth of the matter. \\-'c therefore trust that the Council of the Board of Trade, which has had the Blotter Ullilel'

consideration, will present its report at an early date and_ also that thc conference of fox breeders representing the ._ whole of the Island will take the opportunity of formally expressing its views. We cannot allow an industry so intimately connected with the prosperity of the province* to be injured by the antagonistic reports which the Ameri- can Consul here persists in circulating throughout the

lfnlted States-

THE ALLIANCE COMMITTEE `

"We are much disappointed in thc Guardiau's reply' this

morning to our letter of the._23rd," writes the Alliance Comniittee in to»day's issue. Naturally we should have been surprised were it otherwise. Thc rcply that would

best/ suit certain me_mbers of the Alliance would bc our acknowledgement that the Government was wrong, and the Alliance Committee right. in the course it has pursued. Only two points in thc letter call i`or attention. The ‘_ Premier, says the Qoniniittee, invited the Alliance to try the effect of the 1913 amendments, and to come back next year and ask for further legislation, ii' needed. We can find no record of such an invitation and promise, and neither the Rev. Mr Marshall nor Mr Schurman referred to them at last annual meeting of thc Alliance. We have, uuotcdrthc lnudatory remarks oi’ these two gentlemen and \ve should have thought ii` such an invitation and promise had been seriously matic and taken, these gentlemen would have mentioned them in thc course of their complimentary

references.

But such a promise, if given, could not bc interpreted

as authority to prepare a new and drastic law which must be passed with or without the consideration and approval of the Government. ’I`hc Legislature postponed considera- tion of the Bill until its terms had been considered and discussed. and the Alliance Committee forthwith construed this as an “unfriendly act." and immediately commenced

hostilities against thc Government.

The Committee- asks what other section of the com-

munity is there other than that represented by the Alllnnce, 'and sarcastically suggests the rum-seller. We pass over the cheap sneer with the remark that it could not have had the approval of the gentlemen on the Committee who slgned‘ the previous letter, and reply that the other section consists of the whole oi’ thc community save anti 'except those who have paid their present _vear‘s membership to the Alliance. Now that the point has been raised we ask the Committee what is the total financial membership of the Alliance? Who selects thc members of the General Committees and Executive Committee? ls the election by nomination and vote of _the members ln good financial standing, or does it consist of a list submitted en bloc to the annual meeting and carried ncm con? In other words, does the tail wag` the dog, or does the dog have nn opportunity to control its extremity? We put these questions not \vithout reason, for. according to last animal report, a member asked why he was not a membcr oi' Committee, only to be informed

that he was.

We still make bold to say that were the Alliance pre-

pared and willing to work with the Government, lt would meet with a similar reception to the one the Rev. Mr Marshall repeatedly referred to in his public utterances on the subject. The Rev. Mr Marshall and his colleagues went to the Government without any prearranged pro- gramme of demands, and came away more than satisfied. Why should the Executive act, differently now? it seems to ue from the tone of the present lettcr that it has been dictated, not with a. view to reach a satisfactory arrange- ment, but to -find excuses for continuing a policy of opposi- tion. We invite anyone to look _for a single helpful ellllestlon in-thc .letter._ ~It.dlctates to the' Government. terms on whieh"lt_ will bepropsred to work with the Government. What right has a self-elected body to stand up and dictate terms to the Government of Prince Edward l`lllnd?‘ 'l'-ho Committee speaks of despotism; this in (renter autocracy than is tolerated ln Russia; for the Donmaie an elective body, while the Alliance-Executive owne allegiance to no electorate. ‘ ‘

WQ any the Cotioaahdobt the United 8 tu,.ao-_

:is called. by the'c`oncensus of diplomatic opinion, the

_ ;u.if“ . ' _. ’ _ ' Kvenge of th`e annual Interest on the debt was over 8_% por cent. The paper cerreacy was at a heevytliioount A1- .moet everything was taxed either by customs duties or in- 'terual revenué taxes. On the day the task of dieheadlng it was undertaken, there was over it million men on 'the roll of the Northern army, who had to find civil employment, although the labor market was in had condition owing to the collapse of many industries which the war had created. the Southern States were practically boggared., , They contained a white population of between five and six mill- ions which had lost their all, whilst the colored people, lust released from slavery, had never had anything save

maintaining the struggle long after the fates had obvious- ly decided against him. '

This was the prospect which faced the Americans

_ nearly fifty years ago, but a blacker one already confronts Germany. Neltzsche made himself and u good many others believe that a. “tremendous war such as the world never saw before" could not fail to bring about an united Europe with Germany on top. One of his favorite sayings was: ‘You say that a good cause will sanctify even war. but I tell you that a good war will sanctifyany cause; we should 'ove peace as a means of a new war and a short peace - nore than a long." Au Amsterdam banker reports that :he German business men whom he meets curse Nietz- sche, Treitscke, Von Bernhardi, and the rest of the apostles of milltarism for ruining the country, -but still pretend to aelleve that the Kaiser was dragged into the war by the Drown Prince. As matters stand, the export trade of Ger- many has ceased to exist. At the end of the contest she vlll have two millions of men to provide with work. The price of food and raw materials ls already excessive. lf hostilities continue till May the total debt on their account will, it is estimated, .exceed 5,000 million dollars 'ln our money, or not far from double that of the United States; widows and orphans, the mained and helpless will be there by tens of thousands, a huge war indemnity will probably have to be paid; there may bc loss of territory over and above the transfer of Alsace and Lorraine to France, and n all liklihood the constitution will have to be reorganized This Amsterdam observer adds that even now militarlsm is doomed; no one imagines that Germany can win; many believe, however, that other wars will follow, and people are preparing to emlgrate to Canada, the United States and South America in order to escape from them.

BULGARIA AND THE WAR

That Bulgaria has some sort of understanding with

Turkey is made clear by the announcement of the with- drawal of the Turkish garrison of Adrianoplc for active service. Two years ago, Adrlanopie was tho danger point for the Sultan’s possessions. Bulgaria had determined to :lr-ive Turkey out forever. Now the security of the city must have been guaranteed.

The differences between Serbia and Bulgaria are still

keen. and it may be that Ferdinand is willing to suspen his country's traditional hatred for Turkey touourish the newer hatred ot' Serbia. One thing is reasonably sure, that every possible effort will be made by Germany and Austria to compel Bulgarian intervention on thc Teuton side. Indeed, we are told that only news from German sources circulates in Sofln. It is said that counterfeit English papers, “made in Germany," have been used also to direct public opinion. At the same tilne, Ferdinand has not received his nickname without some justification. He

Old Fox. lie has declared more than once that he propos- es to maintain a strict neutrality. 1-ie is watching which way the balance turns, and is laying a small wager both ways. _

Thirty years ago, Russia and Bulgaria were uneasy

neighbors, and the Bulgarian people are not yet familiar with the New Russia which has arisen. Traditional rela- \ions with Germany, though strong, have not _vet brought. the Government to bclievc that Bulgaria's interests re- quire a fighting alliance with that country. especially when that would mean an alllsncc with Turkey. lf the King has guaranteed the securlty_ot' Adrlanople, lt is un- likely that he will go farther, especially if Turkey's resis- tance is broken by Russia. It' the Allies should he beaten, a most unlikely contingency, this action would be used by Bulgaria for its profit. If the Allies win interference with Bulgarian territory on thc part of thc victorious Powers would be unlikely. Still, Germany forced Turkey into the war, and, it' possible, would force Bulgaria, too.

INDIANS’ HELP

Extra figures have never been givgi by the British

press as to the number of Indian soldiers in the battle- field. The Viceroy of Indln, however, in a recent speech, perhaps forgetful of the British censorship made the statement that 200,000 men had been sent to Europe.

Besides this army, n large Indian force, estimated at

30,000 men, has landed at the head of thc 'Persian Gulf. and for some weeks has been fighting its way up to and be- yond the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates. These sol- diers have beaten the Arab and Turkish forces sent a- gainst them ln the number of sharp fights, and have con- quered tbeanclcnt Chaldea. Another Indian force, esti- matt-d at 10,000 men, is now operating in East Africa, and still another ofequal strength has been sent to Egypt. All the Indian peoples are represented in these expeditionary armies, and all ,crecds, Brahman, Buddhist, Musselman and Sikh. The Gurkhas and Sikhs are of course fighters of the toughest grain, and when well lc d, a match for any soldiers who ever shouldered arms, The test of indian loyalty does not depend alone upon the number of volun- tecrs going to the front, but also upon the behavior of the natives while the country is denuded of its soldiers. By this latter test their loyalty is of the most substantial kind. for the vast population is ns law-abiding and as orderly as the people of England.

NOTES _

Governor Carlson of Colorado. says the Boston Globe,

has officially appointed his wife “ Assistant Governor," and she will serve during his entire administration, putting in as many hours each day as does the Governor, her chief duties being to look after the legislation relating to women and children. Some other Governors have the some kind df help, unoflleislly, but Governor Walsh ls not among them. '

THE SILVER FOXES. '

The United States Consul at Char-

lottetown, Prince Edward island. has a suspicion that silver fox finance may come to meanmuch what wild cat nuance has long stood_ for. Mil- lions of capital from the United States has gone into the coffers ot the com- panies that breed silver foxes on that island, and Consul Mays shows that the business has been the subject of great inflation, to use thc mildest term. ln London, the great fur mar- ket of the world, silver fox skins were _telling last June at an avcrautc of $119 each. ‘ _

ness for the present, but even at the prices before the war was in sight something was due to happen soon to the much boomed Prince Edward Is- land industry. There are now 2,600 foxes, young and old. in captivity on the island. The authorized capitallza tion of the various companies is no less than $31,000,000, of which about $26,000,000 has been_ paid ln. This makes the capitalization at the rate of $26,000 per pair. counting pups and grown foxes. Figure out thc profits in sight. Consul Mays disposes of the theory that the island foxes are of n peculiar type, better than those

even more in 1914. in only a few cases has there been any fguarding 081111131 intermixture. Moreover, the best fur- riers agree that theivast strip 1,500 miles wide that circles the globe just

der the advantageous conditions of

fords.

All this, and much more that (Ton-

fox ranchers of Prince Edward Island have made a valuable contribution to human progress bv introducing the

more cheerful future.

THE ALLIANCE COMMITTEE

Sir,-Iu your editorial this morning

in reply to our request to know in what way the Alliance has been “at- tempting to usurp the place of the Administration," you answer in effect:

(1) By asking for prohibition legis-

lation;

(2) By criticising the manner in

which'the present prolilbitory Act has been enforced.

Surely your long drawn out answer

as published can only be intended to mystlfy the general public.

Docs The Guardian mean to suggest

that thc people of this Province have no right whatever to ask for legisla- tion, nor to criticise the manner in which the law is administered, anti that when they do either they are “at- tempting to usurp the place of the Ad- mlnistration"? No advocate ot' the most despotlc Government could ex-

ceed this.

Has The Guardian forgotten that

the Premier himself, who, we may suppose had auih<_>rl_ty to spcak_for the Government, invited the Alliance. when asking t'or certain amendments to the Prohibition Act in 1913, to try the effect of these amendments for a year, and to come back next year and ask for further legislation lf needed?

We notice you claim the Alliance re-

presents “but one section of the com- munity." What other section does The Guardian refer to? Is it the rumsoll-

McDonald ably represented us at the Maritime Forward Move- ment meeting held in Amherst. This is a move in the' right direction and should receive our undivided and hearty support. l have no doubt that Suummerslde and the Province will reap the benefits that will result from such a movement and the east will re- ceive that impetus in trade to which lt is entitled.

Being a physician I always take

the pulse of my patient, so tho other day when thinking over this address I decided to take the commercial pulse of our town and I'vlsitcd our merchants, bankmanagers, railway and custom and post"olT1cials, and here I must thank thom for the infor- mation they so readily gave mc. The mer1'.l1ant`s said with one ut-cord that tho year just closed was the best in their history; and this apart from tho fact that since August they had been buying in a rising market. They also noticed that the people were not buy- ing so much of the luxuries of life as in former years. This is n healthy sign and shows that our people real- izethc necessity of practicing econ- omy at the present time. lt. was the same story with the banks, all having a record year. Their collections were excellent and they hold loss collater- al sr-r'u'~ilics at present than in f`or

as great as ln 1909. At thepost office I found the same pleasing story. The post office department at Ottawa was the only department that showed an increase in revenue during the last

nine months; of h

t e -increase during

that period our post office contributed $1,800.00. This is certainly u credita- ble showing for our up-to-date and en- ergetic town. I found the same story at the railway-a very large increase ln both freight and passengers. Now what docs all these pleasing facts mean? They spell the fact that Sum- mcrsidc is situated in the midst of the richest and most progressive agricul-

elscwhere, by showing that 1,920 foxes mm; dist,-ict in (_7,mada_ Were 111190111*-<1 ill 1912 0-IN1 1913 and Our farmers are alert business men

that it has withstood the shock and while the future profits will not be so marvellous as in the past it is as firm financially as it evor was. l know of no company that is in danger of liq- uidation. lf the many people of the province who are heavily interested want _to make this a permanent and financially sound industrv, they have it all ln their own hanrls.

The next thing is to plncc men of the highest character and business capabilities on the Board ot' Directors of all the compari- ics: those men should be above sus- picion and should guard well the inter- ests of the shareholders. many of whom live without the Province.

favorable. The awful conflict that is now bolng fought out will clear the commercial atmosphere. The toll that will be paid in human sacrifice and suffering will be appalling, but muc
