Maritime ‘Industrial Revival

Marttittte itidustrics gct favorable publicity in the current issue of the Firmncial Part, wlliclt devotes several pages to this important subject. As indicative of at Maritime industrial revival, such items as tllc following are cited:

-1_ .\ tnillioit dollars is bring spent on powcr coal output at Thorburti. Other Dos-co mines are being sim- ilarly equipped.

z. A new fish pier is under construction at Louis-burg and a $300,000 fish processing plant is expected to folQw. .

3. Rcstigoticlte County has announced a $1,500,000 cxttansioti program for its blcach- ed sulphite pulp mill at Tholvillc.

4. A $250,000 pulp and paper expansion program at hlinas Basin. _

5. A new industry at Deer Island is making artificial pearls, pearl buttons and other pro- ducts from lterritig scales, which were former-

" 1y exported.

, 6. Erection of a 3oo,oo0-lb. freezing plant at Digby. -

In addition tltcrc is reference to a five million dollar pulp mill project planned for Grand Falls, with 150 tons capacity daily; a

five million dollar municipal airport for Saint John under negotiation; $60,000 of Federal money being spent on survey for a bridge across the Strait of Canso, and expendlurc 0f several hundred thousand dollars on other pro- jects. ,

Prince lrldtvard Island activities figure t0 a very minor extent in this survey. This is understandable, though one would expect to find at least some reference to our anticipated new five million dollar car fcrry, and to. the millions which we are told are to be expended Borden and Tormentine ‘piers. Neither these things, nor the grandoise eychemes outlined in the report of the Advisory

_ Committee on Reconstruction and tabled at the

last session of the P. ii. I. Legislature, arc

l. JUCHiiOHCd.

Editorittlly, hotvevcr, the Port notes that greater attention is being given in the three to proccssi the prime products of the farm. the forest, the sea and the mines. "This development of secondary in- dustries," it says, “is perhaps the most strik-

~ ing economic progress in the Maritimes today.”

It adds:

"In foresrprodticts this development 00v- er: the whole field from the tnanufacnircr of clothespitis and box shocks to more highly spe- cialized items such as furniture, prefabricated houses and commercial plywood. Progress is also being made in improving and increasing agricultural production by the construction of more creamcries and ohccsc factories, cold stor- age plants, canneries, etc.

“In the ffld of fisheries the Mari- timts are no IOnger content t0 remain in their present pdsition. Although they realize the postwar position in fisheries will be highly competitive, they are now preparing to meet this by developing improvrd processing, market and distributing facilities as well as cold storage

‘- processing plants and are giving greater thought‘ 3 to the (lcvelotitneitt of off-shore trawler opera-

tions. All three provinces have set up Fisher-

‘ men's Loan Boards with which to expedite this

conversion tn more efficient fishing fions.

"These provinces are well advanced in the

OPQTB"

~ trclntique of encouraging existing industries to ‘ expand and of attracting new industries.

De- partments have beén formed arid are being formed to provide industries with technical ‘data and other information which might cn-

able them to prosper.

"The hfaritimes are looking forward op- timistically. They hope that Ottawa will give

; ‘them a trade and- fiscal framework within which f; they can grow. Give} that, they aro confident tfliat they can do the rest and the efforts that ' they are nnw devoting to their problems augnrs

"Well fOr their future."

principles which should guide future food pol- icics in all countries-that to destroy, ‘food was nothing short of vandalism; that restriction of production of necessary food was iqcially im- moral; that. when food was prodqgigd and not distributed to those needing it there w... evi- dent incompetent statesmanship bflwgen coun- tries with too much and those with coo little.

Such ideals may appear visionbry in the light of today's food scarcity, but the farmers gathered in London were not thinking or plan- ning for the present. They had in mind what took place in the past, were thinking of the future. In all lands the fear of farmers is the same, that over-production of one commodity will depress prices ‘and that the good farmer must sometimes suffer losses just because he is able to produce. To remove it is the chief rea- son for the new organization. There has never been too much food for world use, but distri- bution and exchange halve prevented surpluses getting where needed. ~ .

France surrendered to Germany this date I940; Marshal Petain, informing the people o.‘ the fact, said “We must ccase t0 fight," and thereupon sued Hitler for “honourable” terms of peace; it was announced that previously, to keep France in the fight, Britain had offered to conclude a Franco-British Union by which the two nations would become one, but this offer was turned down; on the evening of this fatal day, Mr. Churchill declared “the British people will defend their island home till thc curse 0f Hitler is removed."

For the future there is plenty hard coal to be obtained in Canada. One of the great re- serves of anthracite, or hard coal, lies almost untouched in the canyon of the Peace River. Experts say there are some 60o million tons in the rich seams close to the surface at Hudson Hope and exposed whére the rushing waters have cut deep into the ground. This is to times the yearly output of the entire U. S. Another 111F258 deposit, less well surveyed, exists 4o miles

It is based upon reports from 23 states which have tabulated early re- sults of their programs which began May i5. Reports from remaining states and from Can- ada are expected to increase the percentage of vehicles tailing to pass the police check.

New York is not all that it is reported to be, according to three British girls at present serv- ing on the staff of United Nations. Writing to a London newspaper the girls say inter alia: "We tried to tell our people at home that this is ‘paradise’ only for people who have lots of money. . . . But btcause your men here _ _ , paint this city as full of glamor and good things they don't believe us. Bare cost-of-living hcre is three times what it is in Landon. We have been puzzled by the newspaper reports until the other day when one reporter here from Fleet Street told us they all get expense allowance up to iio ($44.50) a day. . . . No w0nder they re- port that this is paradise! Ask your reporters here how many (British war brides)—even those with babies-have had to take iobs to eke out their husband's wages here. Ask your re- porters to find out how many of these girls can afford to buy orange ittice that costs a shilling for a third of a tumblerful or bananas that cost sixpcnce each.”

' Sin-I've been hoping to see a‘ few lines in The Guardian from some farmers in appreciation of Mr. Gillies’ interest in the farm- ers and Daylight Saving. It's nice to know there is one Interested m the farmer's welfare. The most ‘the farmers will do ls complain among themselves about. Daylight Saving and do nothing about xvlp- lng it out for all time.
