It is somewhat amazing to find certain people claim that we have a greater population than we can support. Nothing of the sort. The trouble is that the occupations are not sufficiently diversified, thanks to the wrong-headed policy pursued since Confederation, driving almost all industries off the Island except agriculture and fishing-wind these have been allowed pretty much to starve. The island of java, 622 miles long and 121 miles wide, is able to support 42,- 000,000 people, and surely we could support I,- 000.000 were we intelligently governed by men of vision, initiative and sclfsztcrifice.

Figures which have just been re- leased as to the consumption of apple juice 1n Canada show what. s. well conducted campaign of pub- lizityi can accomplish. Product on has doubled in the last year. Whereas the Domnlon produced 150,000 gallzns three years ago, 1t ls conservatively estimated that 3,000,000 gallons will be used by Canadians this year. There ls cnly one reason for this tremendous in- crease. The government, in C711- lunctlcn with horticultural author- ltlcs, carried on an energetc and well-planned cam-palgn to popular- lze apple Juice. Mainly throulzih newspaper advertls ng, the people were told of the fine QIIBIILES of this good drink. of lts pleasant flav- our, of its beneficial effect on the health.

sumed a. new lmportance. Various agencies told the government about the importance of industrial faclll- tles 1n Plctou county and Cape Bre- ton. Representations went forward as the months passed. Company of- flc‘als placed a picture of thelr plant possibilities before the gov- ernment.

Nova. Scotln had something more to offer than commercial steel plants, Her plants and her men had clone war work before. This province produced quantities o! shells and other war ltems 1n the former struggle.
