In attracting industry to Ireland from, Britain, the United States and .the Continent, the government has utilized-every natural advantage, and then added inducements in the way of tax exemptions and constructive grants. The natural advantages lead off with the fact that Ireland, almost~ alone among European countries, has
a labor surplus instead of a shortage. |

WHO IS TO BLAME? Sir,—In reading a letter in your paper on January 2 by J; Harper entitled ‘West Prince Potential’, one phrase seems to
‘stay by me: “West of Alberton.””
Many articles have been writ- ten on this subject criticizing
the disinterest shown by the Fed- |.
eral Government in this area.: As the late Al Smith in his elec- tion campaigning used to say, “‘Let’s look at the Record.”
Our records should show that many meetings were held in Tignish with representatives of our Provincial Government pre-
| sent — at these. meetings ALL | | the preliminary’ work on two | projects which I shall mention
— the Moss Plant and the Spe- cial Care Home for the Aged — was accomplished right here in
this village —-‘‘west of Alber- ton”. ’
Usually, at these, meetings re- freshments were served and
half promises were made rais- ing the hopes of those present that an industry for. this village
| would be forthcoming. Then
one day the papers carried. the story: ‘Moss Plant To Be Built
| In Miminegash”. So much for the preliminary work done on
that project. ‘
