Mr. Little said he did not want to ontor into a prolonged controv- ersy but he believed it was in the national interest "to give in some detail an account of some of the developments which, viewed in re- trospect, made my resuznation in- evitable."

l-fa said that at a July 90 con- ference with Prime Minister Mac- Kenzie King an understanding had been reached on the four basic principles in the administration of selective service. These principles were:-

laalo Principled

l. That manpower policy must be decided by the Cabinet through its manpower committee.

2. That afministration of the manpower poly must rest with the Minister Labor except in the can of appeal in respect of army draft calls which would re- main within the Jurisdiction of the dllapartment of National War Ser- vce.

3. That as soon as the administ- rative machinery of national sel- ective service had been sufficiently extended and improved it should

undertake manpower functions then being performed b the de- partment of National ar Ser-

vices. The transfer was to be ef- fected within a, period of not more than three months. Meanwhile the utmost oo-ordirsation between the departments affected should obtain and the calling-up men for mlitary purposes be subject to the alpgroval of National Selective Ser- v

incouncil establishing National Selective Service as a clear-cut branch within the department of Labor, definin its powers and those of its irector. The reason why an attempt was made to de- fine these powers, he said, was the belief that earlier and very awee ing authority given to Select; ive rvloe was ‘too far-roachinl und "impracticable" in a democ- ratic count .

June Ami Sept. Set Records This Year

Unusual weather condition; this year were probabl responsible in part at least foi- a oddities not- iced in recent weeks in the vege- table worid. All fall reports have been heard of ripe strawberries being picked and of flowers re- maining in bloom long after they usually fade. A review of weather conditions over the past forty years and more indicates this year has been unusual in two respects.

First a period of drouth in June was exceeded only once in that month in the past forty years and that. was in June, 1909 when 0.73 inches of rain fell compared with 0.81 this year.

And second September this year with a total rainfall of 12.40 inches was the wettest month on record at the Charlottetown experimental station.

More than ten inches fell in a four-day flood in September to bring the precipitation for the first ion months up to normal. At the end of October a total of 4044 inches of precipitation were re- i-ecorded. The average for the your here about 43 inches Last year it iota led 44.01 inches.

Sunshine this year to the and of October totalled 1118.1 hours s- gainsi; a total of 1594.2 hours of a similar period in 1941.

Following is the precipitation in inches for the first ten months oi this year with the figures last year for comparison.

"On Monday, the Minister called me to his office. There was an ex- change of views and a clear ind'c- ation from the Minister that he was annoyed by reports of friction within the department during his absence. The Minister showed no interest in the memorandum.

“By Monday even‘ng I decided that under the circumstances no other course remained for me but resign in view of the relations between myself and the Minister. I resented my resignation to the Mnister at the Prime house that evening along win. an accompanying letter of explan- ation to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister asked for time to consider both the resignation and the memorandum. Ho suggested the end of the week. I asked for an earlier decision if possible. On Wed- nesday I agreed that I would not press for a decision prior to the end of the week if the government was serious in giving consider- ation to the memorandum and in wanting to come to grips with the manpower situation.

"The Cabinet decided. however, to accept my resignation on Wed- nesday afternoon."
