nuviv ART EXHIBIT

' Art lovers will have an oppor- tunity of inslloflibg a most interesting collection of water colours by celebrated Canadian artists, ‘which has been loaned by the National Gallery of Canada. Ottawa, and will be on display, commencing Tuesday evening, at the I-tarris Art Gallery (Public Lib- rary.) The exhibition. which is under the auspices of_ a recently formed Art Society of Prince (Ed- ward Island, will be opened at 1.30 by Premier MacMillan and will re-' main open, afternoons and evenings, lor the balance of the week.

The exhibit, which includes 39 paint ngs, mcstly of Canahan scenery, has been selected by the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour as representative of its annual exhibit held in Toronto luring April. 1934. Larger Canadian cities have greatly enjoyed the first travelling exhibition of water- colour-s. which was arranged by the National Gallery in n sinilar way last year, and the present collection will no doubt be equsfiy well re- ceived. Certainly the opportunity of ieeing the exhibit in Charlottetown will he of unique value to stude ‘

- and should prove of general public interest.

Traielllng exhibitions of this kind

' are rapidly growing in number, and __ are an important feature of the ' work of the Natonal Gallery in ' ‘stimulating public interest in Can- . adian art. " A word of commendation is mer- ited by those who have taken the initiative in fonning an Art Socbty In this Province, unfer whose _ auspices the pictures will be shown.

LA WRENCE AS AUTHOR

"Lawrence of Arabia" is dead. The inan who won over the tribes of Arabia to the Allied cause during the gGreat War and who became almost a fabulous figure by his spectacular exploits and adventures, succumbed to injuries received in a. traffic ac- cident in Dorsetshire. R184 Just as he had begun to settle down af- ter his retirement from the Royal Air Force. A sketch of his amazing career is given elsewhere in today's Guardian. Many of our readers, ‘doubtless, are acquainted with his book "Revolt in the Desert"; but the real story is said to be told only in his lengthier volume, published privately, “The Seven Pillars of Wis- dom." Copies of this book are now exceedingly rare. Lawrence's own at- titude towards his books is revealed in a curious letter now in the War Memorial Library founded by Pres- ident Hoover at Leland Stanford University. California. It is address- ed simply "Dear P." and it reads: "Dear P.: You must have this rotten little book, ‘Revolt.’ I sup- pose, as we worked together for two of the years during which the big book (‘The Seven Pillars’) was nn the stove, but I grudge it you.

Book VI was written in the twenty- four hours betwcn sunrise andipuni- rise. and it contained about 34.000 words. But the whole volume was carefully rewritten twice and its historical accuracy checked by refer-

ence to documents and with the help of friends who had served with the Arab army. He employed an ax- pert illustrator and spent £13,000 on the edition, losing £10,000 thereby. Over a hundred copies were sold to subscribers at thirty guineas- each. and half as many were given away. ‘Thus, it was to pay that debt that he published the abridged “Revolt in the Desert." ‘This boob-not- withstanding the author's contempt-

uous reference to it in the letter above quoted-has been hailed as a classic.

Mr. Graves says that Lawrence would not take a penny for him- self from any writing concerning the ‘Arab war, and his army pay went to the expenses of the cam- paign. The gift of a "Seven Pillars" with a note. "please sell when read," has been worth as much as £500. No doubt it would be given to one who needed the money. Indeed. Lawrence was a good friend to Graves. who must have done-well by this biography. written, as the preface tolls, by request of the pub- lisher, Jonathan Cape. and with Lawrence's permission cabled from India.

Lawrence's literary gifts were as astonishing ll his other character- istics. He was a master of language. One of‘ his achievements in this con- nection was a prose translation of Homer's "Odyssey." acopy of which is in the Charlottetown Public Libr- ary. It has all the" "surge and thunder" of the original; at least. it is said to come nearest to the orig- inal in this respect of any English translation. '

The recent announoementby Hon. Wesley A. Gordon. Minister of Mines, that the government is to undertake an extensive geological survey t“ r the T‘ ' . should be hailed by all sides as a wise move.

"Canada is, in foot, the great ‘example today of the truth of the statement that no man can act bounds to the onward march of a‘ nation, oven by a written constitution." _

Judge "Stewart, apparently, would have Prince Edward Island return to the age of the ox-team and the horse-drawn vehicle. From the ranks of the supcrannuatcd he proclaims, “The Island is fast get- ting the reputation of never being satisfied, like unto some trouble- some children." But all are not in the happy position to which “His Honour" has attained. ‘rhero is still "fiscal need," and plenty of

\ ~Ramsay MacDonald has told us that Canada is developing a soul. ‘That soul had its origin and its birth in the Constitution brought into being by the British North America Act. The Soul of Canada will never be fully developed and will never rest satisfied until tho demands and fiscal needs of its constituent parts are met and so adjusted that its provinces can carry on their affairs-not as of the days in which Judge Stewart would‘ have us live—but iii keeping with the dictates of modern pro- gre.

I would have ended this letter at this point had it not been for Judge Stewart's pretence that he had answered my statement that:

“If Judge Stewart examines

the Confederation compact he will search in vain for any state- ment on the subject of whether the subsidies provided were sup- posed to be adequate or inade- quate for the purpose for which they were intended," this pur- pose being to enable provinces to carry on their affairs without re- sorting. to direct taxation. Istatod "on that subject there is complete silence,"

‘Ito this the Ex-Judge replies by l

quoting section 11B of the BJLA. Act, which states that the subsid- ies given "shah be in full settle- ments of all future demands on Canada." He then addb that my "challenge of complete silence doesn't seem to hold water."

The section Judge Stewart quotes deals with the finality of the settlement. It says not a word about the adequacy of the subsidy to enable the provinces to carry on without taxation. “linality" and "adequacy" are two very dif- ferent. matters. It was because it was the opinion of ovary one at the time the amount of the aub- aidy was arranged that it was quits

as “ “ ." How "final" it was, and how much Judge Stewart's parol evidence rule was listened to. may be seen in the fact that subsidy increases have been given on many occa- slons. By the way, it is somswha‘ odd, to the uninitiated, that Judge Stewtlrt should lay so much em- phasis on this parol evidence rule as an objection to any consider- ation being given to the Minority Report, while making n_o objection whatever on this ground to the Ma- jority Report which he highly oom- mends.
