The Premier At Ottawa

Premier l Walter lbnus has not been long in getting n SllZltlC work a! Ottawa, for which hc is to be -_'t.l‘f_{lilllll[ll€(l. llr- has taken up with the difigrt-n; hlniislt-rs and deputies the ques- tion of nu; tmtisportutiOll. insisting upon our rights and privileges as a Province beinz W" spectetl‘. The tcntlcncv on the Dart 0f Gov- ernment nicmbvrs and officials generally is to look upon l’r‘nce Edward Island simply as an annex 0f You Scotiti, atnl to he treated as such. Ton much stress cannot he laid by 01H‘ Federal rclrt-scrzzativcs and Provincial Govern- ment on tll: izict that we are a province, equal with the other provinces, hougli, alas. severely handicapped by the fact wr- posscss no crown lands, and pntcticztllv no Ir-rturzrl resources ex- ccpt ivhat 1m. be uhtainrtl by hard manual labour from land and sca. We were invitctl to enter Confederation. and we did so under certain gtntrantccs regarding transportation which have been fulfilled only in part. lVt‘. claim that w: lluVC an unrestricted right of ac- cess to the mainland, and resent, attempts on the part of the Nationl Raiiivay Company and others to obstruct such entry bv charging us heavy tolls on our produce. .\s Prcmicr loncs declared, in llls inlcrvicw with our representa- tives at Ottanva, we can export all the necessary agricultural produce, as well as that Ofthe sea, to feed our ticighbours on the mainland which would be :0 their advantage as well as ours. But we cannot do so at a profit if we are to be held up by cxcessive freight rates. which the railway claims they must impose in order to provide a profit or prevent a loss. Profit and loss have uothirg to do with our transportation problem. The Federal Government are in duty bound to provide this, irrespective of cost to them, It is the bond, and we claim it must be observed both in letter and spirit.

Mr. Jones explains to our correspondent that the reason he submitted no brief prior t0 his present visit, was because he had laid Prince Edward Island's case before the Conference at its previous sitting. This 1S true, and a splen- did job he made of it. But in the interim, Ont- ario threw a sort of monkey wrench into the machinery, and Mr. Jones made no public statement regarding his reaction. Other prov- inces did, including both New Brunswick and Nova. Scotia, but we are still at sea regarding whether our Premier is aligned with the Fed- eral proposals or those of Ontario. We think, on consideration. Premier loncs will admit he has been negligent in this respect, for we are Ill very much concerned about the outcome of the Conference, and hope it will not be neces- sary to abindlOn it, though, as Mr. Jones says, we would be delighted should this so happen to have the delegalesherc for any subsequent Con- fercnce.

Re Spain, Strictly Neutral

In conticclioit with the United Kingdom Government's (lccision to grant a transit visa to the Spanish Pretender, Don luan. (says a Lon- don (lcspatcu). to cnamble him to fly from Switzerland t0 Portugal without entering Spain, London commentators point out that this decis- ion, rcachcrl aftcr mature consideration 0f the circumstances. is in conforrruty with the‘ United Kingdnufs pﬁlicv of not imcrfcring in Spanish intcrtial political affairs. f0 have refused a visa to Don litt-n itiight have been construed as placing an obstacle. Don luau is generally cre- dited with the intention of discussing in Portu~ gal the qucsrion of the rcsvnation of the Span- ish hlourtrchv on a Ulllﬁilllflﬂﬂill basis with leading Spanish supporters of this solution 0f the problem ‘rf the Spanish Regime.

In granting a transit VH3 to Don luau, the United Kiivgzlnti- Gnvcriiniuzl stipulates that he must pass thrntiglt Britain as quickly as pos- siblc.

.\t thc Slllllt’ time, in line with its atti- tude of impartiality as between the different Spanish political parties aspiring to popular support, the United Kingdom Government has agreed to grallt a transit visa through Britain to Senor Uiral Head of the soc-tiled Spanish Republican Government situated in Mexico. Corresponding conditions are attached to the grant of Senor Giral's transit visa.

Meanwhile attention is callctl in London to the forthright statement in the llousc of Com-

- mOns recently in ivhich Mr. Bevin made it clear that the United Kitigdom (iovernmenfs atti- K tudr towards General Francifs Regime remains

. unchanged. Q Replying In a question as to whether he . had any further statement to make in regard i, to tbeipolicy o.‘ His Majesty's Government on ‘l’ Spain, Mr. Bevtn said: "The situation of Spain under cons-ant consideration by His Maj- ty’!

Our National Debt

How and where the Federal Government debt of Canada is lield——who owns the bonds and receives the interest 0n them-is revealed in a study just published by the Flank of Can- ada. It covers the period ending May 3t, i945 and, while the: debt has increased since that time, its distribution probably has not changed substantially. -

The study shows a direct funded debt of $15 billions. This is almost five times the 1938 debt of $3.3 billions and represents largely the cost of the ivar. By borrowing from its own people and reducing its borrowings abroad, the government now owes most of its debt to Can- adians. Of the fifteen billions, $14.7 are pay- able in Canadian funds, only $333 millions are payable in Urited States funds and $12 mil- lions in British. United States obligations have been reduced from $449 millions before the war and British obligations front $406 millions.

Of the total of fifteen billions the Bank of Canada ftﬂlcls $1.5 billions and the chartered banks $3 billians. All the rest is held by in- dividuals, eizhet directly or through such col- lective itivcstors as life insurance companies. The insurance companies own $1.6 billions on behalf of their policy holders. Other investment interests hold $2 billions. But the huge sum of $5.4 billions is hcld by private individuals, the army of Canadian Victory Loan purchasers. The remainder is held by investors outside Canada and in Federal government accounts.

How rapidly the ordinary Canadian has in- vested in the securities of his government is shown by the fact that in r1138 individuals held only $885 millions of the debt as against $5.4 billions todav. and life insurance companies $349 tnillions as against $t.o billions today. In- dividuals have increased their stake in the Fed- eral debt siX times and insurance companies, representing individuals, HEZFlY five times.

Is there to be a Minister of Housing? Hon. Ian MacKenzie. Minister of Veterans’ Affairs, predicts one Federal agency, responsible to one minister, WOUlG assume direction of all Fed- eral activities concerning housing. Observiniz that three Federal agencier-Wartime Housing, lilational Housing and the Veterans’ Land Act Administration each responsible to a different mimstcr~now were concerned with housing, Mr. MacKenzie says Federal officials were “working hard" on the matter of establishing a single organization. Perhaps the action of some of his Legion constituents in seizing an empty hotel in Vancuuvc: may hasten the event.

Two weeks ago an elderly, bearded man paid r46 pounds seven shillings sixpence (about $653) to reserve all seats in the Pilot Theatre for the show. Later the theatre man- ager reccivcd an unsigned note instructing him to admit men nr women who were or had been in the services. with their families.

George Fox, founder of the Society of Friends, reached the New England States from Maryland en route from England, this date I672; in his diary, "a tedious journey", calls it, “throttgh the woods and wilderncsses, over bogs and great rivets." From January, r672, to March, r673, he travelled among Red

great meetings, sometimes sleeping out in the open and getting soaked to the skin. "Having sounded the alarm," as he puts it, “to all peo- ple where we came, and proclaimed the day of God's salvation antongst them, we found our

world and draw towards nld England again." His great disciple William Penn, founder of the North American colony of Pennsylvania, wrote of Fox: “He had an extraordinary gift in open- ing (that is, expounding) the Scriptures. He
