“A Serious Situation

As a step in the King Governmenfs stabiliza- tion policy the United States dollar‘ has been brought to a parity with the Canadian dollar. instead of enjoying. as formerly. ’3_ Plfmlllm 0f some ten cents in this country. lY-"is policy was no doubt dictated by necessity. bu! ll Wlll hit all our exporters to the United States. and particularly our potato growers, fox breeders and lobster fishermen, the hulk of whose pro- ducts go to the American market. Importers, on the other hand, will stand to benefit; but there are fe\v large importers iii this'Province and the total loss to our producers will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the case of seed P0" tatoes, it is estimated that the loss will amount t0 about fifteen cents a bushel.

Added to this is the transportation bottleneck and the uncertainty as to whether or not the new car ferry will be available this Fall. There arc rumors that despite assurances given in tllfi House of Commons the boat is not nearly com- pleted and may not be on the run until next Spring. In any case, some 9.000 CHIS Wlll be Ye‘ quiredio move our estimated potato CYQP ill" season, and there may b0 °°TY=5P°l1d1f1lZlY heavy import shipments required at a time when fhfi latter traffic should be cleared out of the_ way. Coal supplies in particular are very short in the Province. If this problem is not solved before the heavy demand for reefer cars sets in next Fall, there will be very serious trouble.

One reason for the coal shofflfle f"?! ll° doubt the unconscionable delay ln reoalfmfl ll" S.S. Prince Edward Island which should have been back on the Borden-Tormentine route weeks ago. \Vhy we could not get priority at the shipyards on tirgent work of this kind is some- ‘thing that should be explained at Ollawfl- The railway authorities here are not ‘to blame; M1’- Montgomcry, we understand, did everyllllllg possible to speed up the work, and he ‘has ex- erted himself in every way to serve the interests of this Province since his arrival here as sup- erintendent. But there is callous negligence 501m" wlierc. The real trouble lies in the refusal of the Dominion Government to take our_ Eflevflmfi seriously. \Vliy cannot our Provincial Govern- ment, federal rcprescntalivfis. llofllds Ql h?“ and other organizations 10in forces at this time and get action before it is too late?

Compton

Compton, in Quebec's Eastern Townships, has been traditionally a Liberal riding. Also it is a French majority riding. When, therefore, .1 constituency of such character overwhelmingly defeats a Liberal candidate, turns a Liberal mapority of 2,000 in the last election to a Lib- eral deficit of 2,000 in this one, the political repercussions must be obvious.

Compton, says the Ottawa Journal, undoubt- edly confirms a belief that has been growing in informed circles for some time: the belief that the provincial Liberal party in Quebec is in a process of disintegration. But Comp- ton, by pretty common consent, tells more than that. It tells that the Dominion Liberal party in Quebec is in process of decay, too. The Compton byelection was fought, almost entire- ly, on federal issues. .\Ir. Duplcssis, who cam- paigned personally in the riding, rested his ap- peal on his position at the Doininioii-Provincial Conference. The Liberal leader, Mr. Godboui, who also campaigned personallylin the riding, upheld the Case of the Dominion. Nor was Comptoifs verdict in any way connected with isolationism. Mr. Duplessis’ candidate, Mff C. D, French, was an English-spcaking Protestant; that he should have been supported decisively in a riding where 70 per cent of the electors are French and Roman Catholic, is in itself sigrii-

ficant. More, the isolationist candidate, the Bloc Populaira’: representative, wa: III- whelmned.

Living Costs

The Canadian Government frequently boasts of the effectiveness of its control policy as better than that of any nation in the world; but in so doing, argues the Sydney Post-Record. it complacently ignores the facts. The cost of living in Canada, in spite of controls, has in- creased enormously in the dtist five years, with respect to practically all food commodities, and in other fields such as clothing and essential yitems, where moderate price increases have been permitted, the inferior quality of the articles has more than outweighed whatever price arl- vantages that might liave accrued. It can he said in all fairness that in controlling the prices

essentials may be obtained at low prices, but it must be said, to the detriment to the farmer and the dairy’ producers, who are entitled to prices for their products commensurate with tn: increased cost of other articles which they are obliged to buy. The Government may quote Bureau statistics to its own satisfaction, but to no one else's. The time is soon coming when even Ottawa must face the facts. Its policy of price and wage controls in the face of a greatly increased living economy is stifling pro- duction, encouraging strikes which are steadily

Next fall every pupil in Saskatchewan will have a special record folder under a new sys- tem 0f “pupil accounting" to be inaugurated as part of the guidance program for provincial schools. Vocational guidance, to eliminate mis- fits in society, should be given every student before he leaves school. To enable counsellors to give adequate guidance this new cumulative record, which will stay with the pupil from the day he begins school until he lcavcs, to make his own way in socicty, will be of inestiinablel value. Similar comprehensive school records are now under consideration in England. The rccord folder will be more inclusive than the
