Profes-sing to base its propaganda on the reply of the Minister of Lab- our to a question asked in the House‘ of Commons by Mr. A. E. JiacLean, the Patriot declares that the Ben- nett Government is contributing to only eight miles of thc total pro- posed asphalt highway between Charlottetown and Borden.

The Minister's statement was that in addition to an amount not in ex- cess of $50,000 towards the Borden concrete highway. the agreement with the Dominion also provid~s for federal contribution of 50 per cent of the oost of the asphalt highway to Charlottetown, exclusive of ad- ministrative costs, “it being under- stood that the total cost to which

Yet in 0c- tober last it contended the Domin- ion was paying only one-half the labour cost, "which" it said, "figures out at, about $3.000 a milc or in other words Bennett pays about Z8 per cent of the total cost as against 40 per cent under the former Liberal policy. What do fair minded Con- servatives think of it?”

Now our contemporary realizes that in addition to paying the full coat of the Borden concrete highway. the Bennett Government is paying fifty per cent of the asphalt high- way a; well, "as against 40 per cent under Liberal policy."

We suggest that fair-minded Lib- erals, as ivcli as Conservatives, will agree that thc comparison, 0n our contcmporarys own showing. is de- cidedly to thc advantage of thc Bennett Government,

THE FORCE 0F REFORM

Hilhly significant, says an cx- chungc. ls the Financial Posts dra- matic swing from opposllcn to Premier Bennett's economic pro- gram‘to a position of mild com- mendation and dcfinizc support. Next to the Montreal Gazette, the Toronto trade. paper was the most conspicuous assailant of the Pre- mier's contemplated “interference with busines," in the small circle of journals that starid as [he jeal- ous defenders of the outposts of thn “big interests." Three wmiu ago, the criticisms of the Bennett policies were quot- ed widely. Those who re- call what it. then said will be inter- ested to read this passage from the most recent issue of the same per- iodical;

When the Toronto shopkeepers wake up to a realization that their |ncw supplies of potatoes “will cost ithem mo-iv," they will be sorry somebody did not advise them in advance. It will be vexation to dis- cover that when they were selling retail at 40c to 50c, the legal price to the producer was 50c.

The Trade Directory of Prince Edward Island has just been is- sued by Mr. Thomas R. Tees from the press of the Irwin Printing Co. Ltd. It is a creditable produc- tion, and should be found of con- siderable benefit to business houses at home and abroad. In addition to a writn-up of the province it in- cludes a dircctcrv of business by towns, Charioiiéuvn civic direc- tory, Government directory, Can- adlan trade commissioners, statistics of leading industries, shipping and {manufacturing information, com- wncrcial representation, and classl- flcd business directory. It has been published with thc cooperation oi the Government, and thc approval cf thc Associated Boards of Trafn and Manufacturers Association.

As compensation the State al- lows a gratuity on marriages, and cisc for every child born in wed- lock, By this means three purposes are scrved: More opportunities for employment are opened for men; homes arc provided for women; and increased population for the State. With increased population more mouths will ham to be fed, backs clothed, and feet shod; which will mean more work for producers and manufacturers, and more em- ployment for the rising generatidn. How it will all turn out those who live another l5 or 20 years will be aple to see for themselves. Mean- time, some one suggests the plan should be adopted for the Island.
