This. because of a request and a demand. 54'-nmingly contrary the one to the 911.”, hp has brought with him. He wants Ceylon, which soon will h0- mme A Riepublic. to stay within the Cnmmonwealtii; at the same timt '19 is demanding that 'Brit8in'F bases on the island be given up immediately.

though it seems. there are those in places of intellectual responsibility in the United States-it has not yet reached the political stage-who are half suggesting that that coun- try, too. might do well to come in. It is possible that some time in the future. and perhaps not as far off as it may seem at present, the ”(.'ommonwcallh" will include all. countries and all peoples which at!- there to any form of free and demo- cratic government. This is perhapl .a fai' fetched vision: but so was the
lidca behind the St:-ituc of -Westmin- .sterf01' many years before it be-
came a reality. Such an association
would have all the intangible ad-
vantages of a ”political union".

Scots Are Angry
There is trotibli-v brewing North of the Tweed and its tributaries. It came about in this wise: The Queen, -who is starting lllll on a. tour of Ayreshirc rarly ill Jiiiic, has let it
be known that she will spend ten minutes at. a little cottage in All- nway wlit-re Scotluiidis great poet. Robert Biiriis, was born. That Her Majesty would stop at Alloway goes without saying. No one. high or low. rich or poor. would ever dream of by-passing that sacred spot. What is boilicring the Scots is the pro- posed "ton minute" schedule. They think it is an affront to Bobble's memory. This is how an official of one organization put it: ”In oui' opinion it is impossible for anyonc to approach that cottage in the proper frame of mind and leave it in so short. a time. Unless one does intend to pay homage to the bard in the true spirit:. it is bct.t.er riot to go to his birthplace at all." An- other rrilir was even more blunt. "We all felt". he said. "it was mak- ing a miockcry of lhe thiinq. and the Queen would do better to skip it al- together". '
As everybody knows by now. most. of the advice concerning Roy- al itineraries is rendered by Scot- tisb functionaries. for the simple reason there are more Scots than non-Scotsin places of rcsponsibility at the foot: of the throne. But. in this instance it is clear that an Eng- tllshm-an. and not a very imaginative one at that. made out the Royal timetable. Dotlbllcss, it will be re- vised in a manner more in keeping with the respect due to the great hard of Ayr.
They're Indispensable
Welcome visitors this week are the members of the Maritime Phar- maceutical Association whosc con- vention will coricludc today with a dinner and ball at the Charlotte- town Hotel. The local association is playing host. to the convention. and
sir, At this tnnr I survey is licing conducicd to determine whether conditions and material for the proposed Causeway bet- ween our Province and the Main- land. are such as to make the proj-
bas provided facilit.ics and time for ;
entertainment. as well as for the strenuous busiiicss sessions which constitute the main reason for the gathering. Oil r druggists are among our most hard-working prac- titioners. and no profession enjoys a higher rating in public cmfiricnce and esteem. We could have wished them stinnier weather for this week's convention. but otlicruisc we lriist that it will prove an un- qualified success.

t-cl practically possible. Since this survey was initiated. we have not seen any comment favorable or nthcruisa in our island papers. we hope we arc not possessed of a one-track-mind when we ex- press shock and surprise at the indifference of our leading people and our legislators. at this vital time pregnant with possibility for immense progress in island af- fairs. Many of us, no longer young will not live to see the completion of this causeway when and if it becomes an accomplished fact. but we feel sure that we are all intcrcstcd in the future of our children. our grandchildren. and nf our Island in general. and with those in mind we should exert our umlcd pressure towards the de- partmciit In Ottawa. in a concerted drniand for this practical fulfill- ment of the continuous and unin- trrrunlled communication clause In the terms of Confederation.
We must get rid of the deplor- able inferiority that we have har- bored ever since we so unfortun- alcly fostcrcd and joincd Confed- arntinn. Wr are not nskinz any IlflW8Tl'8l1LEfi bonus. We have in previous rni'i'cspnndciirc. main- tained and we now emphatically reiterate. that we have been bilkcd in Federal manipulation of public or crown lands. Qucbcr has been granted a major part of the Laur- cntian shield. with its cnormniis mineral wealth rcccnlly enhanced incalculably by the advent of at- omic fission and the conaeqiienl inestlmablc increase in value of its grcat flflllnslls of Uranium nrc. Most of the immense deposits of iron OFF in the llniznva district. have also hcen given to Quebec under the I927 decision nf the Privy Fnuncll of Great Britain. We are entitled to our sham in this great wealth as a Province in this Fed- eration which we were foolish en- ough in join. We have never re.- reived one cent that could be con- iiidercd recompense for these en- ormous grants to other provinces. and now when Ottawa seems in- clined to lend an ear to our be- lated demand for consideration in the matter of communication we and our blessed legislators with a few exceptions and some of these lnlmical. remain dumb.
it has been suggested that this Indifference In the accomplish- ment of this vital project and in two cases at least opposition to it rim-ives from anger at being scoop- ed by Mr. Neil Matheson. who it is alleged launched his suggestion, without previous consultation viith his colleagues. We do not give credence to this. No Islander worth the name. let alone our trusted representatives. could be so petty as to let such 0 childish emotion sway him. To use I big word which you can hunt up in the dict- ionary as we did. and which we use in order to avoid the insult of plainer synonym.-political tergiv- ersntion is responsible. We wish to say here that our Premier the Hon. Alexander Matheson. has our hearty approbation as that d most good Islanders for his ef forts in support of this project and for endorsing Mr. Neil Mllbclon sarnestlyl.
Our insularily. emphasized dolly by delayed corn munlcatlon with the mainland is largely ruponstblc for our stunning decrease in popul- ation over the put fifty gun. in contrast in large incubus in every other province in Canada.

crn provinces have oil. natural gas and coal; L-ntario has nickel. gold and iron mines; Quebec has mineral wealth untold: and the other two Maritime provinces. New Brunswick and Nova Scoliii. have mineral prospects, coal. lar- ge forests. and a rapidly growing tourist trade. We islanders have a lot of unfilled prnniises. a de- creasing population. no compre- hensive agricultural policy, few tourists, notwithstanding the bcst beaches in North America. and un- less somr-thing radical is done soon. a dim prospect indeed for posterity.
We have pastoral beauty. sea and stream fishing. hospitable people. all of which are attractive to tourists: but most tourists. with the exception of relatives. when they arrive at Tnrmentin-2. and see the Ferry pulling out from the pier. rt-fuse in wait. turn around and explore the rest of the Mar- itlmes. We have seen this repeated time after time.
Holy Writ says. "whrrc there is no vision the people perish."
