"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink.“

CHABLOTTETOWN, THURSDAY, M-AY 26, 1909

“lln ‘llro March"

Yesterday's reorganization meeting of Young Progressive Conservatives of the Province was largely attended and caused much interest and enthusiasm. Apart altogether from the Dominion election campaign now under way—and the importance of the meeting in this connection is self-evident-the reorganization of the younger members of the Party should prove of far-reach- ing value. The Provincial body links up with similar organizations across Canada, which were strongly represented at the last national Party convention and had much to do with framing the aggressive policies on which the Party can- didates are now appealing for support.

The objects of the Association are: (l) to interest the youth of Canada in the policies and personnel of the Progressive Conservative Party and to organize them to income an effective force; (2) to provide Party material and assist- ance to young people in order that they may plan on active part in the election of their Par- liamentary representatives; (3) to afford to Can- adian youth the opportunity of participation in the formation of the policies of the Progressive Conservative Party; and (4) to afford to the Party a reliable guide by which they will be assisted in forming policies for Canadian Youth. All are worthwhile objectives, and together they form o stimulating programme for present and future activities within the Party ranks.

Llttlo Tlmo Left

Hope that by "continued, patient and per- sistent efforts" by the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission, and through meetings to be held this year, it will be possible to carry "conviction" to the peoples of the Soviet Union, is expressed in a special report prepared for the Canadian Geographical Society by General A. G. L. McNaughton, member of the Commission and Canada's Permanent Delegate to the United Nations.

lin his report, which is published in the cur- rent issue of the Society's publication, the Ca- nadian Geographical Journal, General McNaugh- ton says "there is a little time left which can safely be given to this process of education and appreciation and it must be used to the best odvanme."

He states that the far-reaching project for the international control of atomic energy, which has been evolved by the commission, has met with acceptance by the great majority of the nations. We can feel, he believes, that the pro- ject commends itself to the conscience and rea- son of the world.

Adding that it is most important for the future because it is the assurance which was sought when the Canad-ian Delegation took the case to the General Assembly in Paris, General McNaughton says: "it has been given in gener- ous measure and even the Soviet must now rea- lize that they stand in isolation in their failure to accept the new conditions of international or- ganization which seem to be an inescapable con- dition for the survival of civilization in this atomic age."

No Magic Formula

‘The following article from "industry," pub- lished by the Canadian Manufacturers‘ Associa- tion, call for no comment:

"The more any government actually dis- penses in the way of social security, the more irresponsible people expect of it and the more they squeal when they don't get it.

"That is why Britons generally gasped with pain and gloomy despair when the political-ly courageous Sir Stafford Cripps brought down a budget which not only failed to give some relief in the matter of the world's highest income tax, but actually hoisted the cost of already severely rationed foodstuffs.

"The Labour Government in a bare few years since war's end has indulged in one of the greatest social security orgies since the time of the Romans and their ‘bread and circuses’ policy and, in ‘his budget address of April 6th, ‘Sir Aus- terity’ Cripps told Britishers flatly that high taxes must be continued to pay for such things as so- cial services and food subsidies. Surely, British- ers must now understand that government lar- gesse cannot be freely distributed unless the tax- payer himself forks over the money freely to the government. Governments alone have no money and no wherewithal to create it except by taxation, and if governments want to retain their popularity by the bribe of bigger and bigger social services they must at the some time risk the people's displeasure by imposing bigger and bigger tax schedules.

‘ "ln effect, Cripps’ statement made it crys- tul clear that the cost of social services is foot- ed by the beneficiary of thesrsan-ie services and that the obligations were assumed not tempor- arily, but for all time. _

‘lit is the ‘for all time’ remark that is sharply pointed. The British have found out the hard way that one can't get something for nothing, and Canadians who are ioger to try the experi- mge of socialism here should stop and think before they demand more and more social ser- vices, which simply add to the burden of their qww taxation, dlrec and indirectly, and de- stroy incentive and e sense of responsibility. . "We now know there was no secret formula for Greet lritein and there is none for Canada, either. that funds for social services “I benefits eon be obtained from rlah people corporations Iron been exploded

dollars in. lf there is such a miracle-maker, by all means let us expand our social services, but until such a one is found, let us stick to common sense and a tax rate that, for all its imposing height, is still, not an Everest in the tax mount- ains of the world.

Ascension Day. I I I Mr. John Fisher would make a good Maritime representative in Parliament.

An American firm has taken the logical step of combining the principle of radiant heat- ing with that of the electric blanket to prod-uce a carpet that should guarantee against chilly ankles even in an otherwise cold room.

"Operation Vote" being spear-headed by the Canadian Legion, B.E.S.L., is of prime im- portance. The objective is nothing less than to assure that the government returned is the true choice of the majority and not merely of a sec- tion of eligible voters who go to the polls.

An active elector ventured to predict that the Liberals would score in Newfoundland, not because they know much about Canadian poli- tics, but because of their British ancestry, they know more about British Liberalism than they do of Canadian.

The election pot is beginning to boil. lt has been simmering for quite a while due to the fire under it being both low and slow. Asked to ex- plain this, a life-long Liberal declared that "while the Federal leaders are all right, the candidates are not so hot."

Lord Bedisloe claimed recently in the House of Lords that the finest dumpling apple in the world was the Bramley Seedling and that there- fore England was the source of the finest apple dumplings in the world. Moscow is yet to be heard from.

Britain's decision‘ not to permit removal of air raid shelters till standing on private proper- ty cannot by any stretch of imagination be con- sidered an aggressive move. lt should help, how- ever, to convince a potential aggressor that there would be little hope of taking the Old Country by surprise.

Canada's action in suspending mail service to large portions of China indicates a change, not merely in the balance of the civil war but in its nature. Not very long ago the Chinese maintained postal services between Nationalist and Communist held territories, although the Post Master General could not be persuaded to explain how it was done.

Montreal Gazette's travelling political re- porter declares that his colleagues on the Lib- eral side in the tours in the Marltimes dis- tinctly showed their political bias, by cheering St. Laurent along with the crowd he was od- dressing. Not so those accompanying Mr. Drew, they restrained themselves to the extent of mere- ly “hobnobbing with him behind the scenes.

U l! ¥ Queen Mary, mother of the King, born this date 1867. Before her marriage known as Prin- cess Moy, is the daughter of H. H. Francis, Prince and Duke of Teck, was married at St. James Palace, July 6, i893, to George, Prince of Wales a-nd later George V, who died in i935. Her Majesty is still active in all good works, and especially devoted to her family, by whom she is beloved. O‘ Q O

"Let the shoemaker stick to his last" is a maxim evidently the Federation of Agriculture thinks does not apply to farming. The health committee of the Ontario Federation at a re- cent meeting suggested study of a system of

licensing doctors, dentists and nurses-with the objective of reviewing th-eir efficiency and re- newing their licences every five years. The

committee recommended that all nurses should be protected by o plan similar to workmen's compensation. I O I

A recommendation to the N. B. provincial government that a bounty be placed on red foxes and that the closed season on tham be removed was passed at the annual meeting of the Carle- ton County branch of New Brunswick Fish and Game Protective Association. The subject was introduced by Mr. A. Craig, who said that the foxes were depleting the supply of game birds and in some areas had wiped out entire flocks. Their pelts were now so cheap, he said, that they were not worth trapping, and consequently the animals were increaslngJapidly.

An amend-rnent to prevent the lrltlrh gov- ernment embarking in brewery business towards the nationalizing of the liquor business was de- feated in the House of Commons by a vote of 305 to 187. Canadian-born Beverley Baxter, Con- servative, regretted this "cncroachmenb of the state." He said: "We get'up in the morning and light our fires with state-produced coal. The housewife cooks the meal with state-owned gas. lf it has not been cut off, we light with statr) owned electricity. We travel to our offices and work in state-owned trains; we take up the telephone and get o wrong number from state- owned telephones." And now they can get get drunk on state produced beer.

"Canada's balance of foreign trade in March alone this year slumped nearly $51,000,000 as compared with March, i948," Mr. George Drew declares. "These figures show plainly that state- ments made by Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Howe that the government is meeting the trade prob- lem successfully have no relation to the facts. ln March of this year Canada exported $l,l00,- (“L000 worth of ham and bacon to Britain. In March lost year we exported $l0,300,0N worth." "In Marcll 0f this year we exported practically no eggs while in the some unonth lost year we exported 043M000 worth. So the story goes with lumber, fish, cheese, apples and most of our important experts." l-lebased his trade indica- tions on the latest figures released by the Do-

For the “ ooneeeutilve you deaths from diphtheria ln Britain have been the lowest ever record- ed. Last, year they totalled 150 compared with 2,641 in 1941. It was in that year that the United King- dom Government lnltlated the na- llonal campaign for immunizing infants against this deadly dia- ease. Since then outbreaks of diphtheria have also shown an equ- ally spectacular and steady reduc- tion. In 1941 nearly 51,000 cases were registered. Last. year there were only 8.034. The campaign will he continued again this year. The elm ls to lrnmunlze three- quarters of all babies ln Britain before they reach their first birth- day. —- UK Information Office.

WOOWO-ZGWGWNQ DEDEQUE LIBERAL MEETING

Sun-I read where a wonderful gathering of the once-great Lib- eral Party took place last Thurs- day ovenlns ln Bedeaue Hall, and of all the mares’ eggs mot are going to hatch under the next Liberal Government, and how George Drew and Duplessis are holdins back the wheels of pro- gress. what dynamic forces these two gentlemen must have, to keep this all-powerful Liberal Government from doing all those charitable things “which they try so hard to do and which are so often countermanded by these two astounding antagonists!

Whal- B- Pity George Drew wouldn't order the Dunk River to hack up-stream-dam up, shell we say-when at some point. up- stream we could have hydro and 138M all pedeque for nothing. Wouldn't. Premier Jones be de- lighted!

Mr. MacNaught, as we ‘xeacl. told those of the worthles who are still left around Bedequs- llial: it was the hope-the "hope" "nark yon-of’ the Liberal Party "eveutuallv"—menmng sometime ln the distant future-to have n contributory syvsbem by which a: a certain ngo, all persons will have a pension. Sometime when? .\ hundred years from now, or

a hundred and ten-which would save n lot of money to the Gov- ernment. and enable lt to perform a lot nf stunts around election time. It might evcn enable Prlme Minister 8t. Laurent to operate n canning establishment for' ibe now lllfn6d~dOWl1 fishermen of Prince Edward Island. What blackheads Mr. MaaNaught must have sized up his Bedeque audience to be. to make n speech ofvngue promises, none of which need be implem- ented for another hundred years. and still cause no scars on pram- lses already mode. "We hope to snmellmemot some cetLl-fn ego." Mr. MaoNaught went on to lay that these things cannot he done until the Constltu n ts changed. What rot! If George ew ls rnnde Prime Minister offer June 21th. the old people of this country wlll get a nslon sf sixty-five. and m. Draw will not have to change the Constitution. neither will he force the poor men to turn over his modest little hud-eexnedhome representing ht: life's savings, see- rlttces and toll to get his pension. l-fe wlll get It as of his own rflht.

Whether n a and men with a soft heart, or a lovable weakllng with a veln of lron to produce ln emergencies, Wallace Beery was “typed". because his type was popu- lar. His blatant crudltles, his fumbling shyness. his apoplectlc rages, amused and touched his audiences, and invested the scenes ln which he appeared-whether Coeur de Lion's castle or a fene- menb-wllh an authentic and healthy earthlnass. lVlore, he had the great gift. of inspiring affec- flon and understanding for char- acters who possessed; many human failings.

The selection of a young woman from Hayes. Mlddlesex, as "Candy Queen of Great Britain for 1949" falls in. either by accident or dc- slgn with the removal of whnt most of us ohstalnatcly insisted on calling the "sweets ration." So perhaps it ls a good thing that the wards "of Great Britain" have been added to the queenly title. for without them some verbal stlck-ln- the-muds might. have blundered lnla the belief that the young woman was intended for export to the United States, where "candy" cer- tainly covers a larger selection of sweetstuffs than it does——or did- in this country. Here the term was for long confined la its original sense of some crystallized prepara- flon of sugar. On the other hand. this may be new evidence of the triumph of American English aver King's English: our "Candy Queen" may be the appointed ruler over everything from lreacle toffee to chocolates. It seems a pity that we should be invited to sacrifice our explicit English names for English sweets. but there you are—candy ls with us, and candy, complete with Queen, has apparently come to- stay. at any rate with those who would any day rather speak Am- erican than English. — Manchester Guardian.
