The People's Platform

The splendid attctulattce at last niglttls Con- servative meeting. dc-ptte unfavorable weather and road culltlitttltts wtttclt tircvt-ttted litany out- of-town elcctors front ztttenditlg, glue striking proof of the \\lt\'€ oi public scntintcttt in favor

of a return to sound adntiltistratiott in this Province.

Such an lllYthwllgtlllflll is long over-due, and there is no dottbt that it will meet with the full approval of the cltclors, who have had little opportunity, in the last four years, of obtaining any ittforltttttiott with regard to the administra- tion of public affairs.

The Plctffornt is one which should appeal t0 lll sections of our petiplc. lt is broad-based on lht- prittchd- of dvntocratic and responsible Uovernmett: \\e can imagine nothing more im- portant at the present time than a return to Iuch principles in this Province.

Unconvincing

The enthusiasm expressed by the Liberal organ for Iivn. J. P. Mclntyre's style of oratory is not shared by all its party supporters. For example, .\lr. \\':trlc Hughes, who offered the following comment in the Legislature after listening to an earlier edition of the same speech reported in \\'edncsday’s Patriot:

“There was an old friend of mine who used to tell a story about being down in New Or- leans. Going around one day about the wharves he met an old man and they got into conver- sation. The old man told him he used to preach at different times. although he was not an or- dained minister of any particular denomin- ation. .\ly friend asked him did he not lose the thread of his discourse and he replied that he had no difficulty in that line, because he could always ‘pound the Bible and abuse the Re- publicans.’ Listening to the hon. gentleman last night, I wondered whether he didn't have the slogan, ‘Pottnd the blue-hooks and denounce the Tories.’ . . .

“Rut I think." continued Mr. Hughes, “that he was working from an entirely wrong basis. . . The point is, did we do what we undertook, or did we do as well as we could? I don't think it matters, except from a [tnlilfcnl standpoint, what his figures show if they do not show that. If we didn't fulfill our promises. did we do at least as much as we cottld? I DON'T THINK ,\\'l'i Dll)."—l’.'ttriot. April 13, I938.

Snmvbsll I-iwsrnmwfs brie! that the

Icotnpelling the Mackenzie King Government

of the Commission, Chief Justice Rowell of On- tario, told the Premier to “skip it", and it was thereupon “taken as read."

Had the Campbell Government made as good use of the Duncan Commission report as the Stewart and MacMillan Governments did, they would today have something better than “goose eggs" to show for their efforts.

Blank Cheque Legislation

Enabling legislation to take advantage of the King Governments farm marketing bill was introduced by the Campbell Government at the last session of the House. It was indeed strange to find this measure eulogized by the same ag- gregation which in 1935 was so rabid in criticis- ing the Conservative marketing act. It was claimed that the Liberal legislation is “something different." This is indeed true, because it is in effect an Act to appoint Agricultural Minister James G. Gardiner Dictator of Canadian Agri- culture. The purport of_ the legislation is to guar- antee fixcd initial prices to primary producers

but the effect is to give Mr. Gardiner dictatorial power to make the regulations govering the operation of the Act when it is proclaimed. He

is given authority to say where and how the statute shall be applied He is empowered to make regulations prescribing the manner in

which the average price of an agricultural pro- duct shall be ascertained. He may, by regulation, establish the proportion of pritnary producers in a geographical area whose, product shall be marketed under a cooperative price. He may, by regulations, decide the proportion of an agri- cultural product in a. designated area which may be marketed cooperatively. It is left with Mr. Gardiner and ltis officials to decide the time and times when any payment subsequent to the initial payment may be made.

The Minister is given the authority to extend the Act at his pleasure—and to withhold it. It permits him to set up a bureauacy of officials, clerks and employees at the expense of the tax- payers. Seldom has a Minister of the Crown in Calpada such prerogatives as Mr. Gardiner now as s.

Premier Campbell is the slickest politican who has yet held office in this province. His dulcet tones and skilful glossing over of a shady political record is sufficient to deceive the elect. It was by such means he carried last election; is it conceivable he will succeed a sec- ond time? w 4t w v “In every Legislature,” says the Liberal or- gan, “a cerrKt proportion of lawyers is neces- sary.” It may not have been the proportion, but there was certainly something lacking in the legal contingent which sat in the last Assembly. Their bungling amendments to the Election Act which resulted in disqualifying three Liberal representatives, is a case in point. x 1k 4t n: The March exports of farm implements and ntachittcry totalled $430,858 compared with $283,418 in February and $901,765 in March last ycar.

In u despatch to the Sun Hec- tor C. Bywater, the British naval expert, Iulll-Slid to get, excited ovel the present manoeuvres of the German fleet around Gibraltar and ln the Mediterranean. Tm: German navy always manoeuvred 1n those waters prior to the Span- “ civil, war, he wrote, and on this occasion informed the

ago of its intention to resume its former practice. It is possible, of course, to make a more sinister interpretation of the facts. But even this lnterpretatlon leaves Mar. Bywaters calm still unruffled. The Italian navy as 1t. now exists 1n the Mediterranean, is little more than a nuisance to Great. Brltalxrs fleet there. It could not. survive more than six weeks or vwo months at most. in the event. of a general war. The addltlon of the German fleet would alter the situation, but; not. materially. The facts, he says are fully known to the profes- sional strategists 1n Berlin and Rome. There is nothing new in all thLs, of course. But. since there has been, 1n this country, a growtng tendency to discount British naval might and to accept. as an awful truth the pretended omnipotence of the axis, 1t, Ls well to have the actual situation set. forth ln such simple and understandable terms.

Colonel Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, talks like Mussolini when he says the United Stat/es “should make of the Caribbean an American lake." To achieve that. he wants Britain and Fmnce to turn over their West. Indian possessions to the Unit/ed States as payment in full of their indebtedness to Washing-ton. Ap- parently it does not. occur to Colonel Knox that the wishes of the people of these colonies —- no doubt he wants Bermuda, too — should be consulted. Britain does not. sell her people, nor give them sway. and we are quite sure any proposal to transfer tlto loyal West. Indies to the sovereignty of Uncle Sam would arouse a violent storm. Americans who talk this sort of nonsense are doing no good to the cause 0t Anglo-Saxon unity 1n the face of a common danger. They arouse resentment, such as would be felt, in the United Slates lf 1t were proposed seriously 1n thls country that. they should cede Alsiaka to Canada. -— Otta/wa Jour- na .
