When it comes in describing prohib- ition conditions in Prince Edward niand, Premier Saunders, like the ardent wooer in Shakespeare's ballad, "can sing both high and low." From the deep bass in which he chanted the dismal failure of prohibition en- forcement a month ago"in the Legis- lature he shifts nimbly to high alto on arriving at Ottawa, and his cheery ditty is broadcast for the en- tertainment of the 8061110081

"Because Prohi-

tion is working out satisfactorily in Prince Edward Island there is

little possibility of the establish-

ment of Govern-

ment Liquor Con-

trol in that Pro-

vince," said Hon- orable Albert C. Saunders, K. C.. Premier of Prince Edward Island, who is making a personal visit in the Capital. "The population is largly agricultur- al and conse- quently prohibi- tionist," he said. "The Province has all the benefits oi the dry laws but few oi the evils." Summing up con- ditions in the Isl- and, Mr. Saund- ers declared: “There is no un- employment, no labor trouble and while there are

Conditions h a v e been intensified a hundred fold. yes a thousand fold, to what they were a few years ago The operators in the booze business are resorting to every imaginable thing. We have moon- shinera and boot- leggere in every Province; but I re- member only a few years ago of reading for the first time of those stills in our Pro- vince. That thing has grow-n and the nrethods they re- sort to are almost beyond the com- prehension of man. and it is ex- tremely diflicult now to cope with conditlonsP-Pre- mier Saunders, in the debate on the Draft Address.

Mr. Dutchman's Campaign

w. It. J. Deachrnan, Ottawa, walking and talking delegate and sole visible representative oi "the Consumers‘ League of Canada," is visiting the city. This is the gentle- man who most persistently opposed the application oi the National Dairy Council for adequate tariff protection against New Zealancl butter be- fore the Tariff Advisory Board. The National Dairy Council is well known and represented among the dairymen oi this Province, but whom does Mr. Deachman represent? One looks in vain through his reported utteran- ces here and elsewhere for the slight- est hint of the composition of the organization he purports to represent. The only» known facts about the Consumers’ League are that the pres- ident and secretary are two Liberal Members of Parliament from Sask- atchewan and, apart from the sec- retary, the only other known active members are three additional Liberal Members of Parliament from the same Province. The ulrole organ- isation is purely and simply a, prop- ‘aganda device of the western wing of the Liberal party. The Govern- ment permits them to use a namc which deceiveathe general public as to Ia natwe and purpose oi the or- [Animation and the Tariff Board grants the head oi this propaganda

‘organization the rights oi counsel at ,

hearings before the Tariff Board.

l Premier King's Problem

"peel to the country, but of hitting ‘upon the least unpropiiious, and in regard the omens are unfavor-

ever, has never been regarded as the better part of valor, and it has not been exercised except by auch gov- ernments as have listened to the counsels oi despair. It has always been considered good strategy for the government to choose its own time, however narrow the choice may be, and there is an impression abroad that Mr. King will adhere to precedent in this respect.

The immediate need is an issue‘, there are, of course, issues now, but Mr. King and his friends are on the wrong side of them; hence the ne- cessity of something new. The bud- get has been delayed, clearly in the hope that some final and conclusive action would be taken by the United states Congress upon the Hawley- Smoot tarifl bill, but although this bill has reached the conference stage there remains a doubt as to what the ultimate decision may be. Mr. King, in his western speeches, clung to the hope that the United States would not carry out its tarifl proposals, and that there would be no casion ior tarii! action at Ottawa, his conten- tion being that Canada was prosper- ous under the existing tariff arrange- ment which facilitates the entry of American manufacturers to Canada and of Canadian raw materials to the United States, and that to in- crease the Canadian tarli! before the adoption of the l-lawley-Smoot bill would be a. provocative action, an unneighborly thing, l. possible men- ace to the peace oi the world. So Ot- tawa has waited upon Washington and Washingtm ha: xadct‘. with great deliberation to frame its own legislation in its own way, without regard to the possible provocation of friendly neighbors, and with com- plete indifference to the possibility of injurious effects upon world peace.

The result has been that the bud- get has been delayed at a time when the condition of business in Canada is peculiarly sensitive, and very much in need oi the stabilizing and con- structive influence of a strong govern- mental policy.

Have We No Steel.’ ‘

It is rather surprising to note that the steel framework used by the Can- adian Vickers Company in the con- struction oi the Canadian National Hotel in Charlottetown bears the stamp oi an Illinois, United States plant. One naturally asks; Are there no steel plants in this country that could produce this material? Are thcrc none in the Maritime Provinc- es? Could not the contract with the building company have been so word- ed as to provide that Canadian ma- terial and workmanship be employed exclusively? At the present time the Canadian Pacific Railway is featuring the fact that wherever possible it uses exclusively the output of Canad- ian factories, mills, mines and farms. The maintenance of friendly relations’ with our Southern neighbors surely does not require the erection by the Canadian National Railways of a lasting monument in this Province to the United states steel industry. Xt may be that the requirements in this particular case could not be fuiiilled in Canada. Ii this be so, it is passing strange, and would seem to call for an explanation.

Of course nothing is concluded in so far as the United states is con- cerned untii the Senate of, that coun- try passes on the terms. As that body is strong for a big navy, it may not flPDrove the agreement in regard ‘to the limitation as to ten-thousand ton cruisers. Considerable speculation is being indulged in as to the relative sizes of the ten largest cities of the United States which will be revealed by the next census. New York, it is predicted will show a population of 6,110,000 as compared with 5,020,000 in i020. Chicago is conceded to be the second largest city followed by Phila- delphia, Detroit, Doa Angeles, Cleve- land, st. Louis. Baltimore, Boston and Pittsburgh in the order named.

The English Channel ‘ ' pro- ject long discussed has been given another set back by an eminent en- gineer who has- been making a study oi the subject. He intimates the pfl- sibility of water percolating through the chalk formation at such a rate as to be uncontrollable. He also doubts that the amount of traffic secured by the proposed tunnel would be sufficient to mI-ko it profitable. The tunnel would probably increase the number of ,‘ -seekers going from Great Britain to the Continent but not from the Continent to Great Britain, c. ntinen‘ l people he declar-

lively as those on the Continent.

supply of wild ducks decreasing fall by fall will be interested to hear that the official game warden of the State of Maryland estimates that during the past hunting season on Chesa- peake Bay, and tributary waters, about half a. million wild ducks ‘and geese were killed, largely by sports- men irom New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. When one takes into account the middle west and Cali-

lower Mississippi, the slaughter of wild fowl must have run into mil- lions. N0 wonder that the U. S. led- eral Government lately made a na- tion-wlde law limiting the bag of wild ducks to l5 per day, per gunner.

The Toronto incident in connection with bord Willingdorfs deliverance on the West Indies question, has re- vived discussions as to the desirabil- ity of future governors-gen _al being Canadian, and Sir Robert Borden's name is again mentioned. Until now a commons. has never been sent by Great Britain as governor-general of Canada, despite the knowledge that titles are not popular here. The Irish Free state has had nothing but commoners and some Ottawa opinion favors its example being followed here.

Legislation may be passed permit- ting the erection of a 01,000,000 bridge across the 5t. Lawrence river. The bridge. Arnold Smith, 'M..P., ex- plained to the private bills committee while it starts in Ontario and ends in Quebec, is only soo yards from the New York state high-way on the Quebec aide.- A similar bill had been passed two years ago for an $1.1M"!!- tional structure; but the New York governor had ‘vetoed it. This bridge would be the only connecting link ba- tween the states and Canada-be- tween Montreal and Minn Pails.

CANADA'S REINDEER ENTERPRISE

Q. What is Canada's reindeer enterprise?

A. Canada's reindeer enterprise which is now under way involves the transfer of 3000 of‘ these lnlmnlg from Alaska to the delta of the Mac- kenzie River in order to provide food and clothing for the inhabitants of the Far North, Eskimo herders are

overland. It is expected that the herd will reach their destination early in 1931 where corrals will be ready for them. The yauccess of this _ unique migration will mean much to the dwellers in Canada's northland,

very flattering comments from, "not only Island newspapers, but several others issued from diflerent parts _o_f the Lower Provinces as well as Upper Canada. The following from [the "Montreal Saturday Reader" of Febl; ruary 24th, 186a may be taken as a_ specimen of the opinions of news-i paper critics: , "

The "Wild Brier" is a model of 'ex-, oellence, coming as it does from our-I "tight little Island" on the seaboard,‘ The. printing and bindibg is neatly‘ if not elegantly done, and the work has been stereotyped too, and all on the Island. . . . . The descriptive powers of Miss L. are considerable,‘ : . . . Her versiflcation is pleasant and smooth. The book breathes a! spirit of religious quiet and content- ment throughout. . . . . The fact that anything written in the lower .Provinces at the present time, when ' we are probably on the point of being

united with them, ought to receive 'ouperior consideration and welcome."

The title page of the book reads thus: ~ “The Wild Brier: or Lays by an Untaught Minstrel-E. N. L. . . . clmrlottctown. P. E. L. Geo. Brem- ner, ‘Excelsior Printing Oflice, Prince Street, 1866.".

The volume was dedicated to Ilka. Dundas, wife of the Lieutenant Cov- ernor of the Province. ~

A few samples of the contents ‘are here given:

"The fragrant blushing brler,

‘A modest wildling, grows Beside the glassy river,

Where sunbcams seek repose.

"And gives its grateful fragrance To every passer by,

Its beauteous tints unfolding To glad the weary eye.
