Notes by the Way

T le of interest to note that the‘

great Liberal Province of Quebec was the flrst to introduce the policy of Government Control in Canada. And the second to adopt it wasl British Columbia under the leader- ship of that grand old Liberal, Hon- est John Oliver. Later came Mani- toba under the United Farmers, the! staunch Liberal province of Sas-' katchewan and the Liberal or Farm-l er Government of Alberta. in 1922l there was only one Conservative in‘

Are they going to bring in the Rod Coats to assist them? Or are they just trying to put. this over in order that they may get back into power? Government Control is now prac- tically Canada-wide. Only two pro- Yinces, Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- ward island, are out of line with their sister provinces. Can they remain a law unto themselves, and will they stand doggedly by a law which they themselves and seven of their sister provinces have found to be obsolete and unworkable? What position shall this province he in when what is lawful all the way from the Pacific Coast to the jrestern boundary of Nova Scotia would be unlawful and punishable by finesaud imprisonment in Prince Edward island?

ANOTHER PHASE IN PROHIBITION

Slr.—-i would like to point n phase in the s0 called, Temperance campaign, which occurs to inc. Temperance, l imagine. means moderation. but as not even moder- alien appearsto be tolerated, does not tcetotaiiem appear as the standard?

Sim-The PstrioLoompares the two platforms,'—bnt not honestly. The important plank in the plat- form of the Opposition, that the} pioiiibitory liquor law shall be! made "more workable," is passed‘ over without a word of explanation or indeed a word of any kind; nor ls there a word in the Patriot's comparison about reducing the price of liquors. On the other hand its comparison does not set forth the fact that, according to Premier Stewart's proposal, the buyer as well as the seller of liquor, is to be subjected to fine and imprison- ment. Nordoes it set forth the fact that “permits are to be issued to unobjectionabie applicants, over twenty-one years of age, and to be good for one year and to be non- trunsferable." Such a cnso as ‘that of thr; young ma" in Winni- peg. iiistanced by Mrs. Wright. -could not occur in Prince Edward island if Premier Swsvzirtg policy be adopted and the proposed law carried into effect. No incntion- is inztde by The Patriot of the fact that according to the policy of the Government there is ‘Lo be "a rigid enforcement of the law."

The Patriot's comparison does not set forth the plank in the Gov- ernment platform which proves that no additional vendors stores are to be opened “except after n majority VoLe of the municipality’. ‘township or other large unit of

Otlicr important planks in the Government platform are left out of the Patrlofs compaiisoii. A coni- parisoii should be fair or i‘. i..- of no value. The ‘Patriot's conipzirisop is evidently unfair.

The lzitcst statement of the Doiii- inion Bureau of Statistics Elves 111° government and people 0f Cilllflllll cause for thought. It appears that in the twelve months, lavely ended, there was a decrease of approxi- mately $61,000,000 in Canadian ex- ports and an increase of approxi- mately $103,000,000 in Canadian imports when compared with the twelve months oi‘ tihe previous year. llf the Canadians have ob- tained good value for the large bul- HlICQ shown against their country. tiicrc is little to complain about, -—evcii though they must necessar- lly pay upwards of $-i2.00ii.00i) in cash to square the account.

There is reason to ‘fear, however, that good value of a permanent kind was not received ‘by Canad- ians. Too many ‘oi ille articles imported were of transitory value. and might mncli inoro economi- cztiiy-so far as tho country nt large is concerncd-Jiave been pro- ducod at home.
