The tablet inscription on the calm notes that following the ‘Preaty ‘of Paris in 1768. the British Govern- ment ordered a systematic survey oi its possessions in North America. Captain Samuel Holland was placed in charge of the district north of the Potomac and. “ auae of the importance o! the fisheries, was in- structed to begin with Prince Ed- ward Island. In‘ October, 1764. he established his headquarters at Holland Cove and completed his survey of the Island in 1785.

Professor D. C. Harvey, MA. to whom as an historian and member of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board this Province owes much, has recently published in book form. for the Nova Scotia Archives, Hol- land's description of Cape Breton Island and other doctunen‘ , which contain interesting information re- garding the survey made in this Province. then known as 5t. John's Island. He has also kindly contrib- uted s special article on Holland's work here. which alxlears elsewhere

well, in this Island and elsewhere, and the cairn to be unveiled on A118. 38 will be} fitting and en- during memorial to his memory.

FALSE PROPAGANDA

No section of Canada has benefit- ed more from the Ottawa agree- ments than the port cg Halifax. through which thousands of tons of Maritime farm products have been shipped for the Old Country under the preferential tariff rates obtained by the Bennett Govern- mcnt. m. Mackenzi King's threat to abolish these preferences, and replace them with an agreement under .which foreign countries would have freer access to the British market, is a blow aimed dir- ectly at Maritime agricultural in- terestl. Yet w! find the satellite Halifax Liberal press loudly oom- mending the suggestion. "The Brit- ish delegation," it says, "was worst- ed at Ottawa in 1932 and the -Ot- tawa agreements has been a bone of ntention ever since." British products, it alleges, have been "largely shut ou " and the agree- ments have "worked ill to both Canada and the United Kingdom by its effect on mutual tnade."

This statement is absolutely false so far as Canada is concerned. whose favorable trade balance with Empire countries has steadily in- creased undcr the Ottawa agree- ments. And what about Great Brit- ain? Here are the facts. as stated on July 19 in the British House of Commons by Mr. Runciman. presi- dent of the Board of Trade and reported in the Yorkshire Post undea- the treading "British Tradeb Growth, Effective Use of Tarlffsz"

"Mr. Runciman, ' troduc‘ the Estimates. said the figure of our trade were remarkable, for they showed how, year after year and month after month. continuous growth . . . Mr. Runciman attrib- utod the increased trade to the use of tariffs and to the Ottawa and ‘ '_ trade up ‘ He point- ed out that from 1981 to 1934 our imports from "Ottawa countries"- a useful purtmanteau expressin- had increased by D millions (pounds) and our elpofis to those countries by 25 millions; and he gave comparative figures . . . The tendency, he thinkn-is for the im- provement to continue in the ab-

sence of any disturbance."

What mist th¢ Noble of Great Britain think of the partisan Lib- oral propaganda in this country. decaying. peflilhfltiy and malicious- ly, the trade agreements which have meant so much to every En- pln country. but particularly to Canada. and more especially to the Maritime Provinces of Cansdl.

According to a usually well-in- formed Ottawa correspondent the Government is having prepared for use of Conservative candidates a. survey of the recommendations of the Price Spreads Commission, a tabulation of the recommendwiuns which were implemented by legis- lation and an explanation of the failure to implement the other find- ings because of constitutional difll- culties.

Immediately after the install- ment of the new government, an emissary hastened to the unem- ploymenl project in the 4th Dis- trlct‘of Prince and sacked every- one who did not profess to be a Libeml.

TTre Cairn At Holland Cove

B! D. C. HARVEY

(By D. 0. Harvey) -

In commemoratin the first or- ganized land-survey in Canada the Historic Sites and Monuments lloard is not claiming that there were no land-surveyors in Canada before the arrival of Samuel Boll- and at Port La Joye in the autumn of 1764, but rather that Prince Ed- ward Island was the first province of Canada that was completely and systematically surveyed as part of a broad Imperial policy.

There had been land-surveyors in Quebec under the French regime and some sort of rough surveying had been done even in Prince Ed- ward Island under the French. In Nova Scotia, too, Charles Morris had been busy from 1748 onwards in laying off portions of that prov- ince for New England and other settlers. After the fall of Louis- bourg Samuel Holland himself had made a survey of its fortifications and environs, and after the con- quest of Quebec he had surveyed the settled portions of that prov- lnce.

But the idea embodied in this memorial is different and grew out of conditions existing after the Iflreaty of Paris in 1763, when Great Britain found herself pos- semed of vast areas of land that had been only partially and quite unsystematically surveyed. The Board of Trade and Plantations found themselves called upon to make reports in regard to settle- ment of lands about which they

‘He named this Observation Cove,

knew little either as to area, n- sources. or suitability for settle- ment. trade or fishing. They there- fore recommended on February 4, 1784, that an organized, _. ‘ matic. accurate survey of all His Majesty's North American dominions be un- dertaken forthwith, but more es- 9991511? of such parts as from their natural advantages required 1m. mediate attention. To that end they suggested that these domin- ions be divided into a. northern- and southern district, with a sur-

veyor-general of lands for each, to act upon instructions from them. At the same time -they suggested Samuel Holland for the northern district. _

On February 10, 1764, these re- commendations were approved by the King in Council. 0n March 6th Holland was appointed, Sur- veyor General for the Province of Quebec. and on March 23rd, Sur- veyor General of the Northern Dis- trict-north of the Potomac River.

Holland, at the time, was in Rolland and was instructed to pro- ceed first with Prince Edward ls- land, the Magdslenes and Cape Breton. as they were regarded as of tho utmost importance for the fisheries. He proceeded to Quebec for supplies and equipment, ap- Dointod John Collins as his deputy

there. and on September i4, 1764. r

set sail in the Canceaux for Prince Edward Island. reaching Port La Joye on October 7th. l-ie immedi- ately got in touch with Captain Hill of Fort Amherst but had to Provide lodgings for himself. He chose a spot about a mile below the fort "properly situated for making astronomical observations"

but, it is now called Holland Cove.

In the spring of 1765 he com-

menced his survey and by October 4th was able to send to England complete plans and a description of Prince Edward Island and the llihgdalenes. He then went to Louisbourg, which he made his headquarters while surveying Cape Breton Island.

Holland's plans and description of the Island were the basis on which it was divided among ninety-eight land speculators in London on July 33, 1767. This sur- vey. therefore, means much for Islanders, as it marked the begin- ning not only of British settlement but also of that long and troubled land question which distressed the Island from 1767 to 1877. a period of one hundred and ten years.
