Yelera ns Deserve Better

On every hand there is the growing con- viction that our returning war veterans deserve something a great deal better than the treat- ment many of thcm are getting in Prince Ed- ward Island.

Docs our Provincial Government realize that litany of these men have been unable t0 find jobs? \\'hat is to become of the httndreds and lhousailtls of OlllCrs who are still due to return? 'l‘ht*_v can't all lillvC tip farming, and what other work is lil"l'c‘ fnr them here? In other provinces huge schemes of industrialization are under ivav, bu: here we seem to be marking time.

\\'c boa-t of the splendid record achieved bv our fighting invn. and of the fact that we had the largest llllllll)t‘l' of enlistnicnts by popu- lation of any province in Canada. Are we so proud of the fact that the Government of this Province defrauded our fighting men of their franchise during the last provincial election, and still seems to be taking it for granted that they’ form rt negligible part of the electorate?

Other provinces have not made that mis- take. ln Manitoba, for instance, there is to be a general election on (Jet. i5 and plans are al- ready tinder ivziy to enable the service men stationed outside the province to vote. Their vote will be delayed, but that will not matter. Manitoba regulations also provide for the elec- tion of three special service members represent- ing the Aruty, Navy and .-\ir Force.

In British Columbia where a provincial election will be held Oct. 25, provision is made for two types of service vote—active personnel within the province and personnel outside the province. There will be no special service can- didates, the men and \\l)lll(‘ll in the armed forces voting for nominees in home constituencies.

Details as to Nova Scotia election mach- inery are not available, but there is little doubt that otir sister Maritime Province will also make made some provision for the service votes.

The other provinces have already had gen- eral elections during the last four years—P. E. I. on Sept. l5, I943, Saskatchewan on June I5. 194,4, Alberta and Quebec on Aug. 8, I944. New Brunswick on Aug. :8, i944 and Ontario on ]une 4; and with the exception of Prince Ed- ward Island, as already noted, all seem to have made some provision for the service votes.

The excuses given by the Jones Govern- ment for failing to do so were anything but creditable. It was hoped, however, that the Government would make up for this grave delin- quency by paying special attention to our serv- ice men on their return borne.

Such, unfortunately does not seem to be the case. From tnany quartets complaints have come of coldness and neglect towards these men's interests. particularly in the all-intportant matter of providing jobs. The Government it- self had crcatcd ntany new and cushy jobs, but how many of them are filled by men with over- seas servicc rccotwls? \\'e repeat, there is a great deal of complaint on this score, and it is growing dav by day.

Foreign Exchange Control

In a recent press conference the Minister of Finance made it clear that, in spite of the cessation of hostilities, (januda would have to look forward to a continuance of foreign ex- change control, and for some time at least it appears that the system of administering ex- change control will remain substantially what it has been during the last few years. While no change in the basic policy of the Foreign lixcltatigc Control Iioard in respect of the kinds of currency which must be obtained in connection with exports. with interest turning to various markets which have been closed to (jauada (luring the war. some of the foreign exchange. lillpllCflllnll< connected with such ex-

Lauzon and Koresky have begun serving one- year jail terms in Montreal, but that does not mean that they cannot be made to face the music i_n this Province if the Attorney General“ dc- cides to lay charges. This tnay depend on the result of his inquiry into the circumstances of Lauzon's alleged incriminating babblings while in local police custody. In the meantime there is no dttbiety about the intention of the Ontario authorities in having the Lattzons returned to that province on bank hold-up charges.

Possibility of establishing free ports in Can- ada is being investigated by a Federal Govern- ment committee headed by Mr. _I. E. St. Lattretit, vice-chairman of the National Harbours Uoard. What about the port of Georgetown in this Province, which is open at all seasons and has one of the best harbors in Canada? This was advocated a few years ago by Mr. H. K. S. Hein- ming, but our provincial and federal authorities seemed indifferent. Now that the whole ques- tion is to be surveyed, the claims of this Pro- vince should be stressed with vigor and unanim- ity. I t e 0
