came back with 15o items that were deemed use- ful and out of this survey came an essential list of articles. Provision had been made for their manufacture and distribution. The War Production Board is now making lur- veys of civilian requirements of other important industries. The needs of lauttdries, restaurants and retail distribution are all being studied to as- certain what they require to keep going. In a long war it is almost as important to produce some lines of civilian goods as it is to produce auxiliary weapons. There was a time when a lot of people iti Canada failed to understand this. Some of them worked in Ottawa.

oiimiwiti. The Wind

Of all the Liberal pledges subscribed to by Pt-ciiiicr Jones and hi,- Goveriiirietit colleagues if! thc last election, that of “Farm Rehabilitation" is the most fziitiotis. It is Plank No. l5 in the 19.39 Liberal platform and in his Iliariiteilo Pieihi" Campbell explained it as follows:

“If the present Government ‘l5 returned to powcr a stirvey will be ‘started immediately and a definite policy xvtll be in effect by the Autumn of the present year, so that farming operati0ii5 may be commenced iri the Spring of 1940, _ The itiatiguration of our policy of farm rehabilitation will tit in well with the new agricultural policies of the Dominion Government, particularly with the establishment of ti National Mortgage Bank designed to secure better credit arid interest fir- rangcments on outstanding mortgages."—-Patriot. April 26, i939.

Did Premier Jones, Mr‘. Hughss, Mi’. Bf"; bour, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Wright or John Archie ever raise their voices in the Legislature Bgainst, their Government's non-fulfillment of this pledge? They did not. Yet they have Hild- gcity to pose as i; ‘Farmers’ Government" today.

Is it any wonder our farmers are saying, "It is time for s. change"?

Ca nada’: Foreign Policy

According to Mr. Brooke Claxton, M-R, par- liamentary assistant to the Prime Minister. Ell‘ seven major purposes of Canada's foreign policy arei

I. Win the war. _ _

2. Promote the friendship of Great Britain and the United States d their association with the Soviet Union and liina in leading the Uni- ted Nations.

3. _\Vhen possible, establish the organization of the United Nations.

4. In the meantime, give nations representa- tion on administrative boards on a fi-irittloiifll basis.

5. Support the organization of force 19in" aggression, making necessary commitments,

6. Join in the defence of Great Bfitltn liitl of this continent.

7. Join in measures to promote tflde b)’ Y” moving restrictions, etc.,and by coordinated dom- estic policy to promote maximum employment and fair prices.

“The basis of any foreign policy." Said Ml’- Claxton, “tuitst he a solid body 0f Pllbllc °Pl"‘ ion stifficiciitly united on fundamentals to flit able a govcrtitiicnt to go ahead with confidence that it: actions will receive continued support.

At Washington recently Labor Secretary Frances Perkins released survey figures to show that mere man is becoming merer all the time iii industry in the United States, with new employ- ees feminine by nearly five to one. And the Department of Commerce knocked just about the last prop from under man's traditional position as the dominant worker with a study which reached the conclusion that the women are doing an ex- cellent j0b-—"with few exceptions are proving the equal of the men whom they replaced." Of the 1.333.000 not increase in factory workers in the United States between April, i942 and June, I943, more than four-fifths belonged to the sex that hell hath no fury like, if scorned by a fore- man or anybody else.

PIOPOSID BOUIIS HOSPITAL

Bug-The trustees of the Sottzls Hospital, having been Incorporated this year by an act of the Legis- lative Assembly of the Province of Prince Edward Island, are at pres- ent gndeavorlng to raise sufficient funds to build and equlp a. small hospital In the Town of sourls, capable of accomodatlng approxi- mately twenty-five patients.

The need of such hospital acc- ornodatlon has been a pressing necessity for a number or years and the need has been accentuated lately by the decrease ln the num- ber of practicing physicians and surgeons from six to two ln that part of King's County between St. Peters and East Point, the territ- ory the proposed hospital ls lnren-

so

ded to serve, and by the hopeless-

ness of obtaining competent qual- Ifted doctors to reside In this rllst- rict unless a suitable hospital is erected. The cost. of building and equipp- lng such a hospital as ls proposed Is estimated at apprcxlmately 536'.- 00000 and of this amount the trus- tees have raised up to the present. time an amount between $16,000.00 and $17,000.00 arid it ls their hope that this amount can be Increased to at least $25.('.')0.00 before the end of 1943. as it. would. appear im- peratlve that only a small portion of the actual cost; be cazrled ln the form of debt. A very suitable site has been purchased and the architects are now preparing In detail Dlflhs that have been approved by the trustees. The funds at present held by the trustees have been donated by the people of the Town of Sourls nnd he surrounding countrv and by generous subscriptions from busin- xs houses which have enjoyed the patronage of this portion of Prince Edward Island. As the funds are for such a wor- thy cause and carry the usual In- come tax emempttons enjoyed by all gifts to charitable purposes, the trustees feel that you may be fav- orably disposed to assist them In their undertaking and Invite your subscription In whatever amount the undertaking comme -‘ itself ur favorable consideration. '1‘ s secretary will be pleased to furnish you with any particulars not mentioned in this appeal should you require more details regal-dine the proposed hospital.
