Parking Meters

As the practical details of installing and financing parking meters are discussed there is a danger of their real purpose be- ing forgotten. lTheir only reason for ex- istence is to facilitate the conduct of busi- ness in the city. Whether measures to achieve that also result in the most profit- able operation of the meters is of relative- ly small importance.

It would be short sighted policy to make sure that the meters are profitable if it is at the expense of cutting into the volume of business of the merchants and of making the public pay for parking space at times when there is any amount of it vacant.

The proposal to follow an "all or nothing” policy of placing the meters is sound from the point of view of meter op- eration but decidedly less so for city busi- ness.

Freight Backlog

It should be no cause for surprise that heavy backlogs of freight are resulting in jammed warehouses all over Canada. The nine-day rail strike effectively stopped the normal flow of traffic for much' longer than its actual duration and the resulting con- gestion came at the beginning of what would have been the busy season. for the railways in any case.

The overloading of handling facilities results in a slower turn around for the in- dividual cars while at the same time there is the tendency for cars to be ordered earl- ier than would ordinarily be necessary to allow for the anticipated delay.

The situation is not yet, of course, ser- ious here but the efforts made here to speed up the turn round of rolling stock will pay dividends later easing the supply situation. '

Flno Literary supplement ,

The London Times Literary Supple- ment of August 25 is of unusual interest, presenting as'it does a comprehensive crit- ical and descriptive survey of contempor- ary British writing in every important field.

This edition, prepared for overseas readers, covers poetry, the fine arts, tra- vel, music, theology, science, history, liter- ary criticism, drama, world affairs, bio- graphy, fiction and philosophy, and pro- vides an authoritative guide to the general reader on these subjects; Chiefly the ar- ticles deal with works which nave been produced during the past half century, but special attention is also given to the great Victorians and to writers of other periods whose influence survives. In the field of international politics, the works of some dozen or more modern authorities are cited, and the same thoroughness is appar- ent in the articles dealing with education and sociological studies.

' Socomplete and satisfying is this edition of a world famous publication, that it may be described as a modern library in miniature.

A Matter or Prlnclplo

To what extent is government policy in the economic sphere based on firm prin- ciples and to -what extent on political ex- pediency? A recent address by Dr. W.,A Mackintosh of Queen's University invites acricus ccnsideration of this matter. For. although Dr. Mackintosh does not suggest that government in Canada is any more or any less conscious of the importance of bhsing its policies upon recognized prin- ciples of economic conduct, he does lav wn-four important factors that no gov- ment ban afford to ignore if the coun- '5 economy is" to remain healthy.

, Flrstof all, says Dr. Mackintosh, "gav- , ernment functions" should not be extended to the point where they interfere signifi- chntly with the operation of a reasonably ee pricl? hyatem." second principle to g ich the ”Queen'o economlat,.du'octo ot- Lgtion list -that government. mquures , ould not seriously impair incentives. f'Wc . . ,ot,9f.wkfr!lm pt iv um.

Thirdly, warns Dr. Mackintosh, "all measures undertaken should look to an enlargement of oppor- tunity for individuals and not to restric- tion. Finally, before programmes of ex- penditure are undertaken, it is important that there be a wide understanding of the policy proposed and a general willingness to pay for the benefits expects ."

A periodic assessment by Paruanient of government policy in terms of Dr. Mackin- tosh's four principles would be in the pub- lic interest. ' -

Road building in Canada seems to be about to enjoy a fillip as part of any pro- gramme of national defence. The rail- ways originally benefited from similar cal- culations but in the . long run consider- ations of security proved an "oldman of the sea" to the railway systems. Any de- fence considerations applled to the Trans- Canada Highway should be clearly de- fined as such, and the overall highway plan designed for maximum service to the public. I

Seven years ago next month, in Oc- tober 1943, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Di- vision, then in Britain, swarmed ashore o. the Dorset coast at Studland Bay, near Bournemouth, during a large-scale 'am- phibious exercise designed to develop the assault tactics learned at Dleppe and to pave the .way for the invasion of Europe. So realistic was the manoeuvre, known of- ficially by the code name "Pirate", that at least one or two public-house keepers about Southampton where part of the force em- barked were heard to remark that "this was the real thing." The assault brigade wont ashore at Studland Bay on the morn- ing of October 17 in they wake of a storm of fire laid down on the "enemy position" bylnil three arms of'the Service. "Exer- any Pirate" developed this combined tlre pm; for providing assaulting troops with ' immediate support which had

SABBATH DAY OBSERVANCE

sir, - Canada is beginning to make a choice, perhaps the most: crucial she has ever made. Already she has chosen the liquor traffic. Livery Province in Canada has. chosen to foster and suppcrt. the manufacture and distribution of booze, with all its nsequences, but Canada. is now beginning to make a. choice for more intrinsic in the life of this country than the choice of the liquor traffic. and that is commercialized Sunday sport.

The city of Toronto last you chose Sunday sport by a plebisci of the people. The churches, both catholic and Protestant. were against it. The city dailies "were against it. but the materialized masses carried the day and now Toronto has Sunday sports with its vast crowds. its excitement, and its noise, and this passion for Sun- day- sports has already begun to spread to other cities and threat- ens to spread all over Canada.

Here, in this Province are in- dications of a trend toward Sun- day sports in a big -way. such as ball games and golf tournaments of course, in past. years. sabbath desecration has been ccmmon in many forms such as picnics and fishing excursions, but now this same trend is appearing In large, organized, advcrtlzed gatherings for sport of one type or another. we seem to be on the way to ocmmcr- cialized sundoy sport on I level with horse racing and boxing. with big money moving, and all that that implies of betting and cor- ruptlon.

If the sabbath goes. the Church cannot survive. The pecple who support thls trend "don't. care a damn” for the church. They would

A LANDOWNEWB COUNTER- BLAST

Excerpts from a. letter to Inrd John Rtussel. Downing street, Lon- don, from Robert Bruce Stewart. Esq., dated at Charlottetown. May 19. 1855:

"As the proprietor of about 80,- 000 ocreo of ilnd in this Colony, I beg to be permitted to address your Lordship on the purport and ob- jective of certain Acts recently passed by the Colonial Legisla- ture, and about to be transmitted for the Royal assent. I am but boo well aware of the amount of self- govemment. needed to the in- habitants of this colony. and exer- cised by them in unlimited .or unl- versal suffrage. still I cannot will- ingly believe that Her Majesty's Government intend to 'denude themselves of their just right. and prerogative as. a court of appeal in extreme cases of injustice. such as those intended here . . .

"A penal tax upon the ownership of wllderneu land. in the form of that land assessment to which I am already subjected, is now in- tended to be seconded by a penal tax of 5 per cent upon the rental of leased land; a. penal tax, I say, upon bad debts; for at least 50 per cent of the rents due to me under lease may well be termed bad debts, and not recoverable without an outlay of time, money and trouble. which may demand the sympathy 'of British a-loblemen and gentle- men, unused to such evils and an- noyancu in the recovery of their iuat dues from Jeuants on their lands.
