' y COMPBOMISING ram

‘All will agree with Premier Saun-

ders’ suggestion at the open- ing of the Maritime Winter lair at Amherst, that closer

eo-operation between the Maritimes on matters affecting the joint busi- ness interests of the three Provinces, u and for the improvement of agricul- ture, would be beneficial to all con- eerned. His further suggestion. how- ’ Iver, which was quoted in a number of Ma-ritllne papers but not in the Canadian Press report which appear- ' ed in the lpcal Government. organ. that "Maritime Union is a malt/er re- quiring deep thought in the immedi- ate future." will be received with alzy- l thing but approbation by the major- . ity of the electors in this Province. ‘ Precisely what Premier Saunders i meant. if not to advocate political 1 union which would completely do away with our rights and existence as a Province, it is difllcul: to imag- l ine. The reports available are all

summarized statements of his od- l '. dress. In view of the significance of Li‘ the statement attributed w him 1t

da run back to the Revolutionary

War, and emigration to Canada of

thousands of loyalists who were op- posed to the rebellion of the thirteen colonies. The deep-rooted antipathy toward the new-formed republic which these loyalists cam-led with them across the border formed an excellent basis for future discord, which was not diminished by the American inva- . sion of Canada in the war of i812. On top of this came tactless talk of annexing Canada. ‘Manifest Des- tiny" seemed to have a northerly tilt, . and neither the American press nor the American government had any understanding of the fundamental loyalty of Canada to Britain.

Expeditions fitted out 0n American territory aided and abetted the Cana- dian rebellion of i837. which repre- sented ihe desires of only a small minority of the Canadians.

The failure of the United Statesto prevent these unneutral acts on its soil was a grievance to the loyal maj- ority. Afler the American Civil War. Irish-Americans, who had carried to tile United States their hatred of tile

4 might be well if he would make his - position clear by. publishing in Iulil l that portion of his remarks dealing with Maritime Union. Only a few,

days ago a rumor. published in Que- ' bee. that the three ‘Maritime Provinc- i i: es had agreed on a basis of Union i ‘Z was repudiated, first by Premier Bax- -' ‘ ter of New Brunswick, and later by |’ the Governments of Nova Scotla. alld l Prince Edward Island. The Sydney i“ Post. commenting on the absurdity of the report, voiced the general op- inion of the people in these Pro- vinces when it said that a political merger of Quebec and Ontario would be about as probable as the consol- idation of the three Maritime Pro- vinces into a single Province. If Premier Saunders is of a contrary . A opinion, and if he so expressed him- self at the opening of the Winter Fair, it would be wrll if the people 0f this Province were also taken info his confidence. ff he did not, make the statement attributed to him, a denial to that effect would clear the matter up.

Prime Minister Mackenzie King is believed l0 be strongly in favor of I Maritime Union. The political auto- ~_ nomy of the Provinces by the sea, ‘H, I" which existed before Confederation, '| ii» and which the people of these Pro- ’? L} vinces are determined to preserve, O means nothing to him. ls it possible l“ that his party has decided to force l‘ us willy-hilly into this union,

and

tllht Premier Saunders, leader of the

only Liberal Government in the Marl- f time Provinces. has been selected as the “goat" to introduce the subject . on the plea that i; would be a fur- ‘ l the: advance in era-operative Qntgf. prise?

Oflicial Liberalism in the Domin- ion may favor Maritime Union, but we feel certain that no section of the I 1111791111 Party in Prince Edward Island

believes in it or would tolerate for a moment it being included in their W110i" It is necessary, therefore. in the interests of all concerned, that Premier Saunders should take ill: ’ l earliest opportunity of putting him- self right with the Province on this vital question.

A CANADIAN VIEWPOINT

some of the causes of anti-Ameri- can ‘sentiment in Canada are analyz- , ed in a recent book, "Canada and ' the United States," by Hugh L. Keen- I leysfde. chief secretary of the Cana- 2 dim legation at Tokio, of which fav-

orable notice is taken by such out- ‘ Btanding American reviews as ‘the t New Republic. The latter Journal Points out that while many Canadi- I "i! barber more or less coherent grudges against, the States. the maj- ority of Americans are blissfully un- _ conscious that their government has f? t ever done anything to offend the Do- ‘ million. rf that be the case. Mr. Keenleysidek book will afford our southern neighbors much food for thought.

The author finds that the causes 0f and American sentiment in Cana-

British Empire, organized armies in Chicago and attacked England via Canada-awhile the United States gov- ernment again played the provoking role of an unneutral spectator.

When no sensational controversies were afoot, there were always dis- putes over trade. water rights. boundaries. some of which were set- tled by none-too-satisfactory meth- ods.

The most interesting portion of lirfr. Keenleysides study is the chapter dealing with the Dominica's reactions to American neutrality during the first part oi the World War. The fail- ure of the United States to protest against the German invasion of Bel- gium as a. treaty violation was in- comprehensible to the Canadians. “who had been led to believe thatthe United states was a champion ofln- ternational law.

The superiority complex which neutrality and war prosperity caused in the United States, was likewise obnoxious to the Dominion. "The de- claration of Newton D. Baker, Secre- tary of War, that the United States was ‘now in the dominant moral po- sition in the world,‘ was greeted vrlzll biting sarcasm north of the interna- tional boundary. for among Canadi- ans it was felt that they, rather than the Americans, had recognized and accepted the task of fighting to main- tain the moral standards of civiliza- tion."

Post-war controversies as to who won the war and whether the inter- Allied debts should be paid were fur- tilcr obstaclrs to a tranquil “couslnly” relationship between the two coun- tries.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Monday's Armistice Day silence was the nearest that the world has ever gropcd toward concerted prayer.

A writer in the Vancouver Province points out that in England, where a man may drink when and where l.e likes. there is a tremendous decline in the consumption of liquor as well as a~very notable decline in the fig- ures representing convictions for bibular excess, He suggests that the some tendency will manifest, itself in the eight provinces of Canada. which have decided upon Government con- trol, and that "it may possibly arise in the future that free Canada, where you can get a drink if you want it, will become so dry by preference and custom that, convivial Canadians will be compelled by the social usages of the country to go to the dry United

Notes By The Way

A decllne In fur prices is noted in the London market at the fall sales. It is of interest here becauseso many of our people are engaged in fur- farlning. The fall in prices is not confined to peltries that are produced in ranches. Domestic breeding of wild animals began with the fox and has spread over the northern coun- tries of the world. Broadly speaking. the price decline has been as great among the furs trapped in the wilds as it has been among the different grades of ranch-bred foxes. The gen- erally accept/ed cause is the collapse in the stock markets which will have a general tendency to economy tn luxuries.

Fashion had much to do in causing the popularity of all furs. It had pt length become fashionable to wear furs of some sort even in mid-sum- mer. In that regard a. change has been for some time overdue. Furs are worn alike for warmth and for a sense of luxury in winter dress and will always be from, but more or less conformably to the decrees of fashion.

Those who sat the fashions are not of the proletariat. Fashions in dress do not spring up from below, but come down from the wealthy and cultured circles of high society. That is why there are such frequent changes of apparel from the top of the head to the tee of the boot. It extends to furs as well as textile goods and footwear. When any article of costume or ornament becomes so cheap, or so common that it is worn extensively by domestlcsof the kitchen, the mis- tresses discard it. It. is because the Silver Fox has always remained high in price, beyond the means of the ordinary person. that it retains its enviable place as a fashion leader. Quickly changing fashions keep the factories busy. give employment to workers and provide the merchants with new goods to sell at new and higher prices. Thus fashion ministers to industry and trade. And thus also, legrettably, it keeps up the high cost of living.

Toronto morning papers printed on the day of Hon.

Nothing is usually fruitful of great changes in the country's affairs than the sudden and unexpected demise of s. very prominent statesman, yet such a possibility seems to be quite left out. of our reckoning when we
