Then And Now

T‘: Financial Port recalls that twenty-three years ago, when Canada was at war, an indus- trial relations student by the name of W. L. Blacltcnzit- King had some strong things to say on the subject of strik-cs. “The method of the strike and lockout,” .\lr. King wrote in ‘Indus- try and Hniutmiivt", "is not distinguishable from the method of Force.” The war had revealed the hideousness of Force and the anguish its use might bring_ Was the lesson to be taken to ltcttrl, asked Mr. King, or was the sacrifice of the w0rltl’s young life t0 be in vain?’

Mr. King's V0llllll€ was an argument for conciliation as a preventative of labor trottbles. Like most theoretical books, it fell short of fell- ing what <hottld be done in those particular cases where the theory failed to work; when the com- mon interests of the community were defied by truculcnt mischief-makers.

Mr. King approvingly quoted in his book the wartime message of the President of the United States asking that "there shall be no discontin- uance of industrial operations which would re- sult in curtailinctit of the production of war ne- cessities." He was impressed by the fact that in a wartime strike across the border the Secretary of Labor had appealed vigorously to the work- ers on behalf of "our boys at the front.”

'l‘oday, says the Financial Port, the production of war necessities in Canada is being curtailed hv strikes. The rc-stiectable labor leaders of Canzidu have voiccd their disapproval.

But the government headed by the man who" wrote the words quoted above is not standing behind thc respectable labor leaders. It is ap- pcasitig the agitators who arc trying to sabotage our war effort. lt is pcrtnitting the use of Force, the method of the strike—even writing its con- scnt to such methods into the Defense of Can- ada Regulations.

“Fart of. the answer," says the Port, "lies in the incredible weakness of the Minister of Lab- otufl lint the rcsponsillilirv to end the present intolerable danger, to get Canadian factories into full war production against Hitlerism, is upon the Prune Minister. He is our great theore- tical authority on labour problems. He is the hctul of th» gnvcrmncttt. llc has not said a word in this war about the tuischicf of war strikes or rebellious ltthottr tyrants, half as strong as he said in the last war when he had no authority, no rcsponsilvil‘t_v to act."

The Rocky Point Ferry

The “Rock-y Point ferry goes on a new lc at thc end of this month, and there is

schct considerable dissatisfaction with the proposed change. At present the ferry makes two late

crossings, one from Charlottetown at 6 p. m. and from Rock-y Point at 6.30, and 6003161‘ leaving (ihrtrlnttcttuvtt at 8.30 p. m., and ROCK)’ Point on return at 9 o‘clock. Under the October arrangctnctits it is tindcrstootl the last daily trip will be from Charlottetown at 4.30 P. mu leaving Rocky Point on return at 5 o’clock.

In addition tn Rnckv Point rcsidctits and local citizens who will be inconvctiicttccd by the new schedule, thcrc arc many soldiers and air force men who take atlvaittagc of this service, and whose cuttings will have to be curtailed in order to catch the last boat from the other side at 5 o'clock.

It has bc-cu stiggcstcrl that if the September schedule czmnot be continued next month. at lcast the 6 o'clock trip from Charlottetown. leaving Rocky Point on return at 6.30, should be maintained. The aim should be to provide such scrvicc as is required, and the requirement in this case is not tinrcasonable.

"Nothing Much"

“Pcpys" of the Ottawa Citizen‘ in his (nary

of Sunday, Scptcttibcr 14th, has thtslto say :—- “So hotnc past noon and my wife asked me what ticws thcrc was, and I said, ‘Nothing ntuch,‘ an.l thcn fcll to musing on the crassness of such a rcply, for there was ‘nothing much’ save that scvcn million men were engaged in the grcafcst battle of all time in Russia, the outcome of which will dccidc thc pattern of the future; ‘nothing ntuch’ sztvc that millions of others suf- fer tiudcr thc yoke of conquest and seethc Wllh hzttrctl for their wnttld-be masters, ‘nnthfng tnuch’ save that thousands rot in COIICCHlFHlIOYI camps, while tnht-i- thousands man ships and guns and zrvrcplnnt-s and hold the enemy at bay, tlu- whih- l (lo go home- on a pleasant Sunday . . , afltfllllfill and say the news is ‘nothing much."

HA Point There"

Under the above heading the Winnipeg Free Press, (Liberal), concedes that it might have

, been better if the speakers over-thc Iliilflllil

hook-up in the Reconsccration Week series had not been all members of the Government, but had included leaders of the other political par- ties. That this was not done may have been due to inadvertence on the Government's part, or to the fact that Mr. Hanson was on his way to England.

But Reconsecration Week, says the Free Press, was a good time to show complete ab- sence of party considerations and unity of all parties behind the vigorous prosecution of the war. Senator Meighcn or Mr. M. A. Macpher- son 0f Regina could have spoken for the Con- servative Party, and Mr. M, Coldwcll for the C. C. F.

The Winnipeg paper concludes: “While we adhere to the party system, the Government and the opposition groups have their legitimate parts to play. But the elimination of party feeling and activities is absolutely necessary if we are to make a tnaximutit war effort. The Government, with its great majority in the Commons, is in a strong position, and the better the example it sets in avoiding politics or any appearance of politics, the better the prospect for the other groups doing the saute In this grave crisis, a little generosity in all the groups would make it easier to maintain the unity of purpose which is so essential."

Should the coal strike continue householders will have to pay $15 per ton for Philadelphia coal by rail. Meantime coal is being rationed, firms in the habit of buying by the car-load through local dealers being restricted to one ton at a time. It is not so long ago since we could import our slack coal from Pictou by schooner, and have it delivered at $1.75 per ton.

Lord Stamp is to be succeeded by Mr. j. M. Hynes as director of the Bank of England, while Mr. Montague Norman will continue as gover- nor, itotwitltstanding he has passed the limit age of seventy. In a message to the general court of the Bank, Mr. Norman quoted the rttle that no member of the bank directorate seek re-elec- tion after reaching the age of 7o "unless other- wise requested," adding he had been requested to announce that no change in the governorship had been recommended,

Horatio, Viscount Nelson, born this date I758; was a delicate, ailing child when he enter- ed the Navy under his uncle Captain Suckling of H. M. S. Raisonablc; rose quickly in thc service. By disobedience of orders Nelson vvon for Sir john Jarvis brilliant victory off St. Vincent against Spain; in the battle of the Nile destroyed the entire French fleet sailing to in- vade Egypt; dealt hcavy blow to Napoleonic plans by great victory of Copctiltageti. Urged by Nelson the French admiral in the West In- dies ventured to pttt to sea and the battle of Trafalgar followed. Nelson was shot through the lungs and spine; his last words were: “Thank God, I have done my duty." He remains the. greatest British naval hero; displayed bold- ness and conception, impregnable determination, and the intuition of genius; the leading prin- ciples of his tactics are traditional in the Brit- ish Navy.

Segregation of bright and dull children in New York schools is to be discontinued after five years experience. The Teachers Collcgc so re- commended "The education of slow learners cannot properly be delegated to special classes or special schools except as a last resort,” said the report. "The type of education such pupils need is qualitatively the same as that ticedcd by all the other pupils in the city. The organization of special schools and classes tends inevitably to emphasize spurious differences rather than gen- uine similarities. The report notes that gifted children often become conceited and self-cent- ered when placed in heterogeneous groups, but have some of this conceit rcmovcd when group- ed together with those of like capacity. Gifted children, the report adds have a definite con- tribution to make to society; they must not be overlooked or lost and their ability must not be allowed to go undeveloped. I-lmvcvcr, the pro- gram recommended for intellectually gifted children is not one of acceleration, but an en- richment program built around spccial projects. Stressing that academic learning is not enough, the report warns that supervisors and teachers should always have in mind the social develop- ment of the children and their ability to get along with one another.

Here is ltearteniitg news in more ways than one. Peter G. Lehman, 24, pilot-sou of Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York has volunteered and been accepted, for service in the Royal Can- adian Air Force. Governor Lcltman issued this statement from his Park Avenue home: "I am proud that my son Peter has volunteered for service in the Canadian Air Force. Peter holds a pilot's licence for which he trained upon his own initiative with a view to serving in the United States air force. He has for many months tried to enroll as an aviation cadet in either the United States army or navy air service. The rule prohibiting the enrollment of married men as aviation cadets in the Unit- ed States air service has prevented him from do- ing so. He has now volunteered in the Canadian

Air Force with the full approval 'of his wife and his parents. I hope that he will be able to rend-

er good servicefi" --u- . .\ '
