. ' The Year In Retrospect

The Old Year, i935, is so fai- gone that as- suredly it will not live to see tomorrow's sun- Irise. The New Year, i936, is already on the threshold, and we shall all gladly welcome it, hoping that its fair promises of happiness and prosperity will be fulfilled in some measure at least_ It makes its appearance at a time of grave international complications. Europe, not yet out of the shadow of the (lcpression caused by the last \Var, is no\v fearful of being plunged into a fresh one. There are problems, both of peace and war, of the most serious kind awaiting so- lution. The Year i936 bids fair to be one of the most momentous in recent history. \Vliile world conditions are serious, they are certainly not without hope, and at this season it is fitting that the hopeful, rather than the discouraging, as- pect of affairs should be emphasized.

Canada during the year has made reniark- able progress out of the depression. This does not mean that our dilficulticsare over, by any means. Financially and otherwise, our burdens will be heavy for many years to conic. But the facttliat we are on the upgrade, and rank among the nations in the van of world recovery, should be a matter of satisfaction and of inspiration to further effort on the part of all our citizens.

This Province has benefited materially from

' improved conditions, particularly in agriculture,

but our farmers are still coping ivithldifficulties caused by the depression years, while in the larger centres the unemployment problem re- mains a most serious and pressing one.

The Provincial and County exhibitions, Fox Shows and School Fairs were highly encourag- ing, giving evidence of continued improvement in quality production. Progress also was made in health and educational activities.

The completion of the hard-surface high- way between Charlottetown, Borden and Sum- merside, and of the Rustico highway, marked I. great forward step in transportation improve- ment during the year.

Another achievement was the success of this Province in obtaining an additional annual sub- sidy increase, for all time, of $150,000, as a re- sult of the presentation of our claims before the WHITE Commission at Ottawa. The door for further subsidy adjustment was leftyopen by the minority report of Chief Justice IVIATHIESON, Maritime representative on the Commission, who emphasized fiscal need as the only fair basis

of settlement.

Politically, the year was one of exceptional activity, the general provincial elections of July 23 being followed, on October i4, by the general Dominion elections. Both contests resulted iii a Liberal landslide, the LEA Government being returned to power with ioo per cent. represen- tation in the Legislature, and the KING Govern- mentwitli a. large majority at Ottawa. Subse- quantity, or: of the two federal seats in Queens Conn was opened by the appointment of Mr. = . I. RABER, M.P.-elect, to a position in the

' ent in order to provide a con- Itituon for Hon. CHARLES A. DUNNING, Min- bill‘ oifyFinmce, who yesterday was elected by automation.

Many woll-lntown citizens passed away during the, year, including Professor S. Emu, Mr. R. H. STERNS, Dr. V. L. GOODWILL. Mr. K. J. Man-rm, K. C., Mr. W. T. Hues/m, Mr. James PATON, Mr. E, R. Baow, Mr. NEIL MACKENZIE, and Mr. CHARLES DREW. To all who have felt the sadness 0f parting from loved friends or relatives The Guardian extends sin- cere sympathy.

And so, on the threshold of another year, we extend to all our readers once more the coin- pliments of the season, joining in the hope that the New Year will prove both happy and pros-

perous.

Fort des Prairies, Friday, Jan. 2, i801: The weather, for several days past, has been severely cold. Yesterday, being the commence- ment ‘of a New Year, our people, according to a Canadian custom, which is to get drunk if possible, spent the day in drinking, and danced in the evening; but there was neither scratching nor fighting on this occasion.

Cumberland House, Jan. i, i820 : The New Year was ushered in by repeated charges of niusketry ; a. ceremony which has been observed by the men of both the trading Companies for many years. Our party dined with Mr. Con- NOLLY, and were treated with a beaver, which we found extremely delicate. In the evening his voyagers were entertained with a dance, in which the Canadians exhibited some grace and much agility; and they contrived to infuse some por- tlOn of their activity and spirits into the steps of their female companions.

If all we read be true about the mischievous behaviour of the quintuplets in smashing crock- ery, breaking windows, and turning on the electric light in the middle of the night, it serves to indicate that howcvcr beneficial scientific up- bringing may be for health, the lack of the ma- ternal slipper applied to the posterior is sadly detrimental to morals and manners.

WEEK!‘

Although the Conservatives for patriotic constitutional, and economic reasons decided not to stand in the way of the return of Hon. Mr. DUNNING in yesterday's by-election, it does not follow that his candidature was unanimously ap- proved. About the stroiigest disapproval was evidenced among Liberals themselves, some of whom at one time threatened to propose a local Liberal candidate in opposition. But little would have been gained by that. as it was felt Mr. DUNNING has had a. hard enough row to hoe since his acceptance of the Finance portfolio to entitle him to generous consideration when a seat had been opened for him.

It is understood that Mr. GEORGE HOOPER, wlio was appointed to replace Mr. C. E. MAC- KENZIE as official receiver under the Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act, is in Boston and has not so far assumed his duties. Mr. MAC- Iiizuzii: is continuing to carry on until such time as his successor makes his appearance. It is with regret that those concerned heard of the dismissal of Mr. l\IAcKi:Nzii-:, as lie has worked assiduously and successfully in straightening out the affairs of those farmers who found it neces- sary to appeal to the Board.

The ,U. S. A. Congress opens on Friday and New Dealers and ‘their opponents are busy laying plans for the new session. President Roosiisvizcrs supporters are striving for a. short and harmonious session and there are reports that President ROOSEVUJI‘ might not have much to propose in the way of major legislation be- vond a new neutrality bill and appropriation measures. In Republican ranks, however, there is strong sentiment for. breaking the whole fight over the New Deal wide open again in an ag- gressive attack on administration men and pol- icies. Moreover, the American Liberty League is fighting for a drastic revision of past enact- ments, including the utility holding company act, the agricultural adjustment administration, the social security programme and tax legislation. So after all, with the prospect of over a billion budget deficit, Congress should experience stir- ring times. i fi i i!

Anti-British propaganda emanating from tlic United Sfates is Still being swallowed by not a fcw patriotic Canadians including Islanders. Why they ask, did not Britain apply sanctions to Japan when she invaded Manchuria? Britain liad no more to do with that than any other member of the League and the United States. But what are the facts. Britain not only urged the League to take action, but invited a U. S. A. representative to sit with the League Assembly in (lealiiig with'the Manchukuoan situation. The United States did not answer the invitation until it viras clear that neither it _nor the Leaguehvas prepared to use force against Japan. Neither the League nor U. S. A. was let down nor left in the lurch by the other because neither was prepared to go beyond a paper protest, and therefore the case ofJapan can I10! b0 quoted 85 a precedent. Britainls hands were clean then as they are now, but can the same be said of those of our neighbours to the south _?

Notes Buy The Way

The phrase, “Sanction: mun war," has found wide currency dur- fng the past few weeks. It has been taken up by ‘friends o! Italy, by paclflsts, by French publicists eager to keep their country out of any embi-ollment. that might threaten

the Franco-Italian entento, and by _

British» jlngoes whose» - warlike ardoiir ls for the moment restrained by a. fellow-feeling for Italian Fascism and a. desire to exploit the situation in the interests of large Brltlsharmaments. This way and that, the cry has gone the round of all those who for any reason- want Signor Mussolini to be allowed to do his damndest to the Abyssin- taris rather than invoke against bfm the power of the League. It is tn- evitably, a. formidable cry; it ls designed to rally the lovers of peiwe to the same side as the lovers of Fascism. and to combine against the League ln the present crisis its but friends with its worst enemies. How far 1s the cry based on truth? That some types of sanctions may mean war is, of course, quite ob- vfous. But tliere ts a difference be- tween what may and when must follow upon a given course of act- ion; and what may be true of some types of sanctions need‘ not be true In any sense of others-New Stateman and Nation (London).

Alberta’s Financial Crisis (Sydney Post Record)

The official announcement ha! just been made at Edmonton by Hon. Charles Crockett. Provlnctal Tresaurer of Alberta, that another Federal loan of $3,000,000 ls coming to the Province. as a. result of ar- rangements made by him last week with the Dominion Government. This advance will finance Alberta's agrlcutural and unemployment. re- lief measures, as well as liquidat- ing its Government's current de- ficit on revenue account. till the end of the fiscal year, three months hence. Treasury bills are to be issued by the Province for the amount of the loan.

This loan ls the third the Alberta Government will have received from Ottawa since the arrival at Edmonton of Premier Aberhnrtli Social Credit Minitsery. The two previous advances, one from t/he Bennett. and the other from the Kfng Government, amounted to $3.- 2504300. so that these Federal loans, designed to keep Alberta financially afloat, will now aggregate the tidy sum of 5.6250000, but will only meet Edmonton's requirements till the 31st of March. After that presum- ably the Federal authorities wlll be mguisltloned for still more funds.

When it ls remembered that these heavy advances from the Dominion Treasury iii-o merely flnanclrig ser- vices for which the Albem. Gov- ernment. ls exclusively responsible, some idea may be formed of the plight. of a Province whose voters were promised fn the iecerit elec- tlon that. the incoming Social Credit Administration would pay every adult $25 per month 1n the form of “national dividends." In the circumstances it ts worth while computing what this Social Credit lmnd-out, to which the Aberhart Government is definitely commit- ted, would amount to tn the ag- gregate per year.
