Warring Worlds

Scientists are now observing the great- est crash in the history of creation, yet it occurred several million years. ago, the time it takes light to come from far beyond the Milky Way. Two island galaxies, each with billions of stars, are passing through one another at the speed of thousands of miles per second. s

This information and much more is learned about areas of the sky beyond the most powerful telescopes by radio astron- omy which has been in use for about five years. The scale of the known universe is such that, although the sun and its planets are in a fairly crowded portion, it still takes five years for light to reach us from the nearest star.

At the other extreme of magnitude, just to indicate that size means very little, is the atom, that smallest particle of matter which retains the character of the element of which it is a fragment. The earth today is Infinitely more concerned about the atom than it is about vast galaxies, even al-

0 though ourf sun and its little system could he added to one of them without making any more difference than a drop of water

other departments increases of less than 351 million also are shown.

The fact that some non-defense depart- ments are spending more than they did a year ago is not necessarily evidence of ex- travagance. The fact remains, however, that out of every bl of the taxpayers money going into the Ottawa treasury in the present fiscal year, approximately 52 cents is being expended on civilian schemes and services. Surely curtailment along these lines is possible and desirable, in view of pressing requirements of the defense preparedness programme. The politicians have been arguing the subject for months past, and the Senate brought in a non- partisan report at the last session which indicates that many economies could be made. Now the civil servants are invited to get into the act. It is to be hoped that it will not, be a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.

Federal Subsidies

President H. H. Hannam, of the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture, in answer to criticism of farm subsidies, suggests that in the past six years farm price support programs had cost the Federal Govern- .ment 510,000,000-or equal to the amount paid out in subsidies to gold mines in one year alone.

"Rt. Hon. J. G. Gardiner," notes the Windsor Star, "was hardly fair, much less convincing, when he said farm subsidies in the past 13 years totalled almost 01,000,- 000,000. That included the war years when farmers accepted, even with the subsidies, much less than they could have obtained had food prices not been controlled. The subsidies were arranged to provide that type of food most needed by the United Kingdom

' the new financial agreement

The present moment and the distant past are one on a clear night and observers on the stars would now see our sun as it was when the world was young.

Without going so far afield we may ob- serve, with the aid of some inward reflec- tion, that we are not merely living in the present but that all around us is the world of the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Hebrews and the first Elizabethans. We cannot es- cape from the past even if we wish to do so, nor can our children escape from the world which we are building for them as well as for ourselves.

I-'ederal'ExpendlturesI

An unusual announcement comes from Ottawa this week, to the effect that it has been decided to pay incentive bonuses to Federal employees for suggestions that save the taxpayers money. Awards of up to .t50 will be paid for proposals that will result in monetary savings, increased effi- ciency, conservation of property, improved working conditions or other benefits. A' Suggestion Award Board, headed by Mr. A., J. Boudrcau of the Civil Service Commis-! sion, will judge the suggestions. y

There is a wide scope here for initiative, and source material should not be difficult, to find. A comprehensive survey of Do-, minion Government outlay: on civilian pro-l jects and services has been conducted by an Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Ga- zette, Mi'. Arthur Blakely. He has found that almost all of the 26 federal agencies or departments within the civilian admin- istrative group are spending more than lastl year.

In many instances Mr. Blakcly finds the; margin of higher expenditures over those ini the past fiscal year to be substantial. He cites the department of agriculture as all case in point. Its total expenditures during the first seven months of the present fis- cal year (April to October, inclusive) have, reached 5541.7 millionsAa jump of 336.5 millions, or in the ratio of almost S1 mil- lipn Fl month over the comparative figure for the like period last year.

The fisheries department also has boost- ed its spending in the period under review by almost 50 per cent. Its seven month total outlays touched 256.4 million this year. ,Nor does it appear that one dollar of this went towards assistingi needy Maritime fishermen who had the misfortune to lose boats or gear, or both, due to the ravages of storms and on whose behalf pleas for assistance had at different times' been made.

Otherdepartments found to be spend- ing more than last year are, National Rev- enue, a boost of 395.6 millions to 054.8; Transport, an increase of 55.3 millions; Fi- nance, ahlgh jump of 3108 millions, but which is inclusive of some 568,500,000 to Ontario as its half-yearly subsidy under with that province.

The proposed "town council" for the married quarters at Slemon Park would be in a very different position from that of any civilian community. As authority is already established, the council would nec- essarily be more of an advisory committee than a governmental body.

Christmas lights will soon be seen ev- erywhere. They are cheerful to see but can be a source of danger. It is better to take precautions against overheated bulbs or faulty wiring than to risk fire when the house is especially full of combustible ma.- terial.

Tired of waiting for the Government to take further steps in reform of the House if Lords, the upper chamber is tak- ing the initiative and is debating a bill to allow the creation of a limited number of life pecrages. Perhaps the long delayed reform of the Senate can be initiated from the Red Chamber.

Two recent nominations, those of Brig- adier Price for Prince County and Major J. A. MacDonald for Queen's, complete the Conservative slate in Prince Edward Is- land for the next federal election. --Both candidates: are to be congratulated upon the strong indorsation they received at their conventions. With the exception of the Liberal nomination for King's, both the major parties have now their standard bearers in the field. The date of the con- test, however, is still anybody's”guess. An early spring election has been rumored, but the most reasonable assumption is that the Government will be desirous of meeting the electors' wishes by postponing electioneer-- ing activities until after the Coronation.

The Statute of Westminster was passed by the British Parliament this date 1931. It gave effect to the decisions of the Im- perial Conference of 1926, abolishing the power of Parliament at Westminster to legislate for the Dominions or veto Domin- ion acts. At Canada's request, this and a provision acknowledging the right of Do- minion Parllaments to amend or repeal any act of the British Parliament applying to them, were not made applicable to this country to retain the B. N. A. Act intact until machinery could be devised for its amendment by Canada. The Dominions

FLYING THE FLAG

Sir.-I was much surprised to hear that the flag was not raised at the New London Soldier's Mem- orial on Armistice Day. Nov. 11th last. The late Mr. J. Lekoy Hol- man donated a fine flag and every year a collection is taken which goes toward 1-. fund for the care and upkeep of the Memorials, all of which is vested in a committee. The Union Jack is an emblem of our nation, to see it flying is a rc- minder of the great; achievements and fine traditions of the past. It is the flag our boys fought and bled under, and for t.he right. to keep it flying and all that implies many of them gave their lives, a son of mine was one of these. No finer tribute can be paid to their memory than to have the flag flying at the Cenotaph where their names are inscribed on "Re- membrance Day” when this is not done it means that a tribute has been withheld. I am, sir. Gtc.

CHRISTMAS OBSERVANCE

A. Sir. - The East Prince Minister- ial Association at. a meeting held in Epworth Hall, Summerside, on Tuesday last, called attention to the increased secularization of Christmas observances, as illustra- ted by cmphasis on material giv- ing. lucky tickets on turkeys and other merchandise, and the irrev- creni; use of Christmas carols.

The Association calls attention to the positive meaning of Christmas. We celebrate thi.s great occasion be- cause at the first Christmas God gave the gift of a Saviour. In fact. God Himself came down to be among men. He came and was born in a manger and made sacred the ties of family life everywhere. Gifts
