Ebrl Grey's Sponsorehlll Of interest in connection with the annual meetings this week of our Island Co-operatives and Credit Unions at Morell is the fact that it was under distinguished auspices indeed that the movement developed in Canada. No less a per- sonage than Earl Grey, Governor-General of the Duminion, appeared before the Parliamentary Committee of inquiry to give it o boost. His Egcellancy was for years one of t e apostles of foo-operation in Europe, and he appeared hetero ti...

According to an Ottawa correspondent in 1a Winnipeg Free Press, the two names most , iominently mentioned fqr the Liberal leadership h the coming national party convention on Aug. 7 are those of Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Gard- ter.

lt is hardly any use attempting to trap Prime Minister Mackenzie King at question hour. Mr. M. J. Caldwell asked him if he intended being present at the London Conference of Common- wealth Premiers, and he replied that Prime Min- ister Attlee had ex-pressed the wish that he, Mr. King, would personally attend. Whereupon Mr. Pouliot remarked: "ln view of what has been said about the possibility of the Prime Minister himself attending the conference of Prime Min- isters in the fall in his capacity of Prime Min- ister, would it_not be just as well to cancel the Liberal convention at Ottawa which would serve no purpose?"

Why eat porridge with sugor—the combina- tion does not help digestion? Accqrding to Sf. Thomas Times-Journal: Dr. Alan Brown, of Toronto, is one_of the most noted pediatricians in the world. A pediatrician, if you don't know, or imagine he has something to do with the feet, is a specialist in the ailments of children. His fame is such that he is now giving addresses in England, and the other day he delivered the lngleby Lecture at Queen's College, Birming- ham. Dr. Brown said something that interested us. He stated that the pie-cooked breakfast foods lack a I vitamin factor and children should never be allowed to sprinkle sugar on their cereal or porridge. Sugar, he said, hos a high satiety value and takes the edge gff the appetite. It is a poor food because its only constituent is curiae-hydrate. Scotsman generally take por- rldge for breakfast, but they never put sugar on lt. They eat it as it is with lots of creamy milk, only they can't have much milk there days.

E. I. Labor Law

(Toronto Saturday Night)

The province of Prince mward Island to small and not very popu- loue. and for that. reason 1t. may be difficult to get. the people of the other eight. provinces to take much interest in what. ft. does. But whatever lt. does establish Ls just ns-valld a precedent for similar action by other provinces ec l.f ft were done by Ontario or Quebec and is in that. sense just. as im- portant bo all Canadians.

On March 25 last the Legislature of Prince Edward Island enacted e statute amending its then exist- ing labor law, Under this amend- ment the existence of any trade union in the Province is made dc- pendenf. upon the granting iof a certificate by the Provincial Secre- tory; the granting or withholding ls entirely within hie discretion, except that he may grant it. only upon receiving a. certified state- ment. that the urilon le autonom- ous and that its membership docs not include any non-resident in the Province. The certlflcete may be for any period that. the Beers tnry may deem edvlseble, and may .be cancelled at. any time et. hf. discretion.

It. appears to .us that. the right of e Prince Edward Island work- er to unite with his fellow work- ers other Provinces for the pro tec n of his interests as e work- er ls one of the primary rights of s Canadian citizen, and that the worker in Ontario or Alberta has the some primary right. to uii-loe with his fellow-worker in Prince Edward Island. and that both of these rights P" infringed t! statute.

If the statute is lfllJL vim-n. of the Legislature, which we stun:- ly euspect. ft. will ultimately cease to have effect. But the pmcele of securing s. final decision against. ft will be long. It may be extrama- ly difficult. to start. because tare enforcement of the emenarneu‘ will normelly take place lii the criminal courts by proeeaut-lon e person "who represents Mme" to be e member of, or who pur- ports to not directly or lndlreetl! on behalf or under the authortoy of. any trade unlo " which doee not-poeeeel e licence. end such e cue cannot be beyond the Province.
