' ‘The Strongest Memory ls Weaker than - tlieqlliemkesl Ink.‘

FRIDAY APRIL 14. 1831

Provincial Interests Much more practical and interesting were the business and discussions atthe Quarterly Meeting of the Board of 'l‘rade than those at the P6815‘ lature. In the latter all that had to be said 0n behalf of the Government and its administration _ . has been said and repeated during the past three i 9i years, and all the effect has been to harden the l‘ hearts of the ilialzulmiiiistrators themselves and . strengthen the determination of the colistitu- i cncies to make a change for the better at the i l first opportunity. The electorate cannot forget f‘ shat the first plank of the platform on which V the Liberals were elected was: “Reduction of expenditures sufficient to bal- ance the btrdgct annually.” I _ , This is how they did not fullll The" ‘y ‘A promise, as shown in the comparative statement ' laid over at the beginning of the session:

~ _ 1934 1933 ' Ministers $12-$43 $1 3-01 1 Departmental Offices 68.707 841824 Registry end Land Title Offices 7.856 8.92s Pensions 1.500 315°‘) Miscellaneous grants 4.000 2i9°° Miscellaneous Expenditures 1,991 6:229 Total general Expenditure $965M $1 1 8687

An increase of $21,885 in administrative ex- penses since the Campbell Government took of- fice. ~ There is no need to labour the point. Instead of attempting to fulfil their promise, as Pre- mier Lyons did in Australia, the Government deliberately set out to increase their expenditure in every department, save and except that of grants for the blaritime Transport Board, the Maritime Club and the Queen Square Gardens.

At the Board of Trade quarterly meeting we have the assurance of Mr. R. E. Mutch that the rates on the Wood Islands Ferry are to be satis- factorily adjusted, and the report of Mr. J. O. Hyndman that his long continued campaign for wharf improvement had at length been suc- cessful to the extent of s supplementary vote of $359,000, of which $150,000 will be expended

this year. C01. G. E. Full started something worth while when he got s resolution adopted ad-

vocating the provision of a soil laboratory or soil survey for the province. Dr. j. A. Clark, of the Experimental Station, approved of this, but thought the Province would have to defray part of the cost. He and Col. Full have been appointed to present the resolution to the Premier, and to our way of thinking this is a mistake. Dr. Clark is s Federal Government official. Government employees should be kept out of political mat- ters, both in the interests of the Government and the taxpayers. If the Federal Government in this instance is to be converted by the Provin- cial Government of the necessity for s. soil laboratory and trained soil chemist, there must be no half-hearted advocacy nor division of opinion as to who should foot the bill.

Ihe importance Of Feeder Air Lines

With respect to the discussion 0n "feeder" lines in connection with the Trans- Canads sir lines, it is interesting to note that British sir transport is about to reach another milestone of progress, this being the completion of fifteen years in the history of Imperial Air ways. It was on March 31st. i924, that the Com- pany was incorporated as“the chosen instrument" of the British Government, its mission being to develop air transport not only on European routes but also on long-distance air-lines be- tween the Homeland aild Empire destinations overseas.

When Imperial Airways began flying, its fleet comprised 15 small single and twin-engin- ed craft. Today, in operation or construction, it has 87 big miilti-enginetl air-liners. In 1924 the Company's routes between Lolidon alid the Continent represented a mil age total of 1,760. Today the aircraft of Imperial Airways, and of its subsidiary and associated companies, in- cluding the Canadian air lines are operating over approximately 30,000 nliles of European and Empire routes, the latter connecting England ' with Egypt, Africa, India, Malaya, China, and

Australia. The most recent figures available

show that, since th'e inception of Imperial Air-

ways, the Company's aircraft have flown s total distance of approximately 4o 1-2 million miles,

"and have carried approximately 631,000 pas-

sengers

' An Imperial flying-host, arriving in England ~ from Egypt just recently, carried . with it. rgsmong its cargo, a special consignment of ,prawns from the Alexandra and Suez dis- mct’. t. I . . i." .

Ecclesiastical Affairs In England

Relief for penurious clergy of the Church of England, whose plight has been the subject of bitter comment even by some Bishops who in their younger days had had t0 endure the hard- ships of means wretchedly inadequate to provide for a family is at last in sight. A detailed scheme for the pooling of endowment of liv- ings and the provision of stipends according to needs has been worked out by the Commission on Parochial Endowments. It contemplates the assignment of an “appropriate” income to every benefice, subject to confimiation by a central authority. On the next vacancy in an incum- bency after the assignment of the appropriate income, it is suggested that any surplus endow- ment income would be carried to a central fund, out of which incomes of benefices below the “appropriate" income would be augmented. It is suggested that all parishes should be classified according to population. Income scales would be up to 1,000 parishioners, £350 to i600; 1,000 to 4,000 parishioners, £375 to i700; 4,000 to 10,000 parishioners, £400 to £800; 10,000 and upward, £425 to £900. An “appropriate” income would be settled between these limits. “We arefsatis- fied that the cost of providing substantial allow- ances for the wives of all married clergy would be prohibitive," the report states. A memor- andum, however, suggests that some scheme of grants in respect of dependent children of the clergy would be financially possible.

This brings us to another ecclesiastical matter attracting the attention of the British Press, not- withstanding, or perhaps because of the serious state of international affairs. ,.

Exuberant "Ronnie" Knox, son of the late Anglican Bishop of Manchester. brother of Editor Edmund George Valpy (“Ev0e") Knox of Punch, has been s. man of letters, says Time, since he wrote Latin and Greek epigrams at ten. Brought up an Anglican, he took holy orders soon after leaving Oxford Balllol C01- lege, became Anglican chaplain of Trinity Col- legc. Converted to Catholicism before the War, he was ordained priest in 1919. In 1926, the year he became Oxford's chaplain, Father Knox scared England over the radio just as Orson Welles scared the U. S. last autumn: he broad- cast a lurid account of a revolution in London, complete with Big Ben Tower blown up, the National Gallery ablaze.

There was s. young man who said, “God

Must think it exceedingly odd

That the juniper tree

just ceases to be

When there's no one about in the quad." Wrote Knox:

Desr Sir, it is not st all odd,

I am always about in the quad.

Thus the Juniper tree

“Shadow boxing" in the Legislature msy prove a pleasant pastime for the members, but the taxpayers have to foot the bill for the stenographers which the Government employs and pays to report the airy nothings in theLib- eral ‘organ. This is one of the reasons why the
