“The Strongest Memory to Weaker than the Weakest Ink".

ruonsnav, my, 19, rsaa Page Mr. Dunning

Last week there was put through the House of Commons a vote of $370,000 to provide for the difference between expenditure and revenue accruing from the operation of the Hudson Bay railway for the current year. Transport Min- ister Howe explained that last year the deficit was about the same figure.

Asked how many vessels came into the port of Churchill during last year, Mr. Howe replied: “There were two cargoes shipped out last year. There was one in and there were two out."

llon. Mr. Pcrley expressed the opinion that as the lluilsou Iiay railway and port are “more or less the baby of the Finance Minister", the Government should make every effort to ensure its success.

Questioned further, Mr. Howe said the port and elevator expenses were not included in the appropriation for the railway deficit. “We shall come to that later."

There was, he said, only one train a month into Churchill during the winter". Hon. Mr. Crr-rar adilcrl that that service was quite suf- ficieut to meet the needs when the port was ice- bound.

Mr, Pcrlcy: “\Vhat is the population of the port (luring the closed season?”

lllr. Crcmr: “it depends upon the volume of trade.”

Mr. Howe: “There are about 20o people, in- eluding employees of the port, railway men and 1 few wives."

So much for the port of Churchill, Mr. Dun- niugs “baby”. on which millions of dollars of the taxpayers’ have been expended. What is there to show for it? “Que cargo in and two out" last year; and a train a month meeting all the requirements of the winter service.

Klcnnwhilc, a delegation is now in Ottawa‘ from Prince Fdward Island. urging long over- due improvements for the harbour of this capital citv of the Province.

Lot us hope it will be successful in persuading Mr. Dunning that this project, too. should he accepted as being “more or less the hahv of the Finance hiiuistcr." —— a lustier hahv than the Churchill “Tilklltlg. and worthy of more atten- tion than it has received from our fatherly senior Queens Count)’ representative.

Rash Criticism

Our evening contemporary quotes, with seem- ing approval, a strongly worded criticism of the brief presented by Mr. Hepburn, Liberal Pre- mier of Ontario, before the Rowell Commission, in which the Premier's utterances are described as “a mixture of petty provincialism, callous in- difference and sickening unction."

"Suppose however," says a writer in Toronto

Saturday Night——”arid it is this possibility which is worrying Parliament Hill’s most thoughtful minds-suppose that Mr. Hepburn employed a ‘ghost writer’? Would the reception accorded the brief not have been different if it had been known that Mr. Hepburn did not write it, but only adopted it? . . . For example, the Ontario Premier conceivably could have employed W.H. Moore, Federal Liberal M.P_ for the constit- uency of Ontario. Mr. Moore is widely recog- nized as one of the most eminent economic minds which Parliament Hill possesses. He is known to be very close to Mr. Hepburn and to have been his economic advisor on more than one occasion. One of the outstanding argu- ments in the brief—the argument that further centralization menaces individual freedom-Ja- miliarly' echoes. furthermore, a warning that the forum" Tariff Hoard Chairman has been dis- posed to emphasize in his Parliamentary ad- dresses for a considerable time now."

The Financial Post goes further and associ- ates Mr. Moore's name directly with the Hep- burn brief.

, Our contemporary, therefore, had better watch

its step. Mr. Moore is still a supporter of the -,l\Iackeuzie King Government, and who knows how many other party stalwarts were involved, one way or another, in the Ontario Premier’: presentation?

It should also remember its own fulsome eul- [ogy of Mr Hepburn when he visited here dur-

, ing the I935 federal election campaign.

Aberhart As Campaigner

V, With the Saskatchewan election scheduled ;,for June 8th, the stage is set for a colourful psontest. An incalculable factor is conceded to " be the Social Creditors, who are reported to {have been feverishly preparing for the Saskat- r chcwan contest for weeks past, with Alberta's iIPremier Abcrhart waiting to play a spectacular .role_

5i‘ What is there about Mr. Aberhart that makes __,» Liberal governments so jittery? The answer, ac- gjjcording to the Edmonton correspondent of the Winnipeg Free Press, is less the policies than the rsonality of the men. Those who have not ollowed him carefully are all too likely to be misleibb his public utterances. His rustical- j dallyei- uplzeches appear at first blush to be

' " but pointless bellowing: and aimless ', ’ y‘ His rough-erid-ready phrases and, okec suggest the half-baked ama- of the mark these first impres- evident only after a prolong- at what he says. bur of “UfliPlHl-wherl he nyrlt-

of mass psychology and parry prejudices. The trap-hazard mixture of barnyard philosophy, old fashioned religion and horse-sense politics that constitutes most of his speeches have a habit of leaving just the impression with the listeners that he desires. Opposition tactics take‘ on a sin- ister aspect. Social Credit mistakes miraculous- ly dissolve or change into signs of progress. He criticizes his failures to fulfil promises so round- ly fliat his audience applauds and makes excuses for him and his endless stories always seem to have the faculty of making studied theories, r-

ous.

It is all so easy, so simple and straightforward that few give him credit for the genius with which he sells his cause, side-steps the pitfalls or dainns the opponents. He conjures up the il- lusion that he is merely following the only pos- sible path, the obvious route, and that all others are taking devious courses because of ulterior motives. i

This is not all. In addition to selling his own wares he antagonizes his followers against his opponents so thoroughly that they won't even listen to the oppositions sales talk, and the most

world is but wasted breath if there are no lis- teners.

These are but some of the reasons, says the Free Press correspondent, why the potency of this man must not be overlooked, and to them can be added the fact that he talks to the aver- age person in his own language with a vkabu- lary fiill of catch phrases such as backbiters, forces of ontrcnched greed, or slavery league, which are not only remembered but which deride the opposition.

Our Brother's Keeper

U. S. Senator Borah has been charging with characteristic indignation that Britain and France were guilty of “a shameless betrayal of a small nation,” the nation being Ethiopia. And to him the best answer comes from a great Am-

erican newspaper, the New York World-Tele- gram, which says with biting irony.

Perhaps they are. but the Senator should be the last miw on earth to say so, For he 19¢ m, little band of ureconcflalbles who kept. this wllniry from 101111118 the League of Nations.

“To Senator Borah and the rest of us Ameri- cans our brother's blood crleth from the ground Britain and France ere no more giulitly than wt; We refused to help from the first, while amen; at least made an effort." '

That, as an Ottawa exchange remarks, seems

to cover the case.
