The Sheep Industry

At the last annual meeting of the Sheep Breeders Association here in February. hope was expressed that Island sheep breed- ers would follow the success achieved by Island swine breeders in developing a dis- _ tinctive type of animal. This once import- ant phase of our Island agricultural indus- try has declined in recent years, and the same is true throughout Canada generally. “Wool News", publication of the Canadian Co-operative ‘N001 Growers, Ltd., notes however that competition in the sheep classes at the Royal Winter Fair last month indicated that even though there has been a deplorable decrease in Canada's sheep population, those who interest them- selves in pure-breds have not lost faith. Not a few deplored the continued slaughter of choice ewe lambs at a time when breed- ing ewes are so scarce. The need for a

tinue administration of its mm policy for] the duration of the emergency.

If the emergency no longer exists, it is up to Otta-

wa to end its controls arbitrarily or to carry on the process of promised orderly de- control.

position of a “side-line" to its proper place as a major production on most farms.

While recent reports indicate that wool production in 1949 was slightly ahead of 1948, there still is no suggestion that pro- duction will meet consumption needs. The picture presented is that the world stock- pile of wool by 1951 will be reduced to less than 1,000,000 metric tons, which would meet world demands only s little more than half a year.

One of the drawbacks to the industry was emphasized in a resolution passed at the last annual meeting here, urging the Provincial Government to move against the dog menace and to compensate for sheep destroyed by foxes.

Bad Advice

The London Economist has been quick to see the weakness of some of the advice which ll/Ir. J. S. Duncan, as Canadian chair- man of the Canadian Dollar-Sterling Trade Board, has been giving to British industry. Mr. Duncan is right, says the Economist, in urging British industrialists to make goods of a design desired by Canadian con- sumers, and to sell them vigorously through salesmen who know their business. But “on the question of selling prices, perhaps," says the Economist, “Mr. Duncan was less convincing."

'i‘he Canadian consumer wants his goods at the lowest price he can offer. The Canadian Government wants these goods in the largest possible quantity and has warned Canadian industry candidly that it must face such competition. And, of course, Canada must buy far more British goods if it ex- pects to maintain anything like its present British market.

The only interests which are urging British exporters not to lower their price too much, not to offer real competition to Canadian indifitrialists, notes the Winnipeg Free Press, are a few of these industrialists who enjoy protection and intend to hang on to it if they can, at the consumer's expense. They have found an able spokesman in Mr.

Duncan.

Prime Minister St. Laurent’s picture of Canada is a glowing one. It includes the absorbing of increasing numbers of immi- grants and vast new undertakings in the development of resources. If the measures actually adopted are adequate to bring about these results, he will be assured of a place in history.

O If farmers make full use of the 65,000 tree seedlings to be made available by the Cotton Memorial Trust Fund Nursery and the Provincial Forest Nursery there should before long be an improvement in the level of water tables and a marked reduction in loss of top-soil by erosion, not to speak of a substantial improvement in farmers’ cash income.

their ability.

Why should the Provinces further con- found present confusion by taking over rent controls from the Dominion? Finance Min- ister Abbott alleges that no arguments liave reached him to show why Ottawa should continue administration of its sys- tem through the processes leading to order- ly control. ‘That was hardly relevant i0 the discussion in the House; but if that is the Minister's view, the whole question should be easily disposed of. He need only announce that as from March next all ex- isting rent controls will be at an end.

But Mr. Abbott says no such thing, points out The Toronto Globe and Mail. Instead, the Government has asked the Su- preme Court of Canada to give a ruling on whether it has the power to extend rent controls for another year. If Ottawa I188 any doubts on the matter, the Provinces also are left with the same doubts. In that case, why should they be asked to resume rent control obligations before these doubts have. been clarified by the Supreme Court?

But there are more immediately prac- tical reasons ‘why the Provinces should leave this matter alone. They had nothing to do with bringing rent control into ef- fect in the first place. They were never flaked by Ottawa for advice or counsel while the regulations were fully in effect or when deoontrol was initiated. If

Field Marshal Montgomery's statement in Washington that. the atomic bomb has made no funda- mental differenca in the method of waging war is indicative of a calmer attitude that has developed toward the new weapon.

The Field Niarshal, who is re- sponsible for preparing the defen- ces of western Europe, was not speaking lightly. There is no in- dlcatlon that he beiittled the de- structive force of the A-bomb, but nevertheless his words are re- assuring.

Whcn the bomb was first re- vealed. attention was focusscd on lls tremendous explosive power. A jittery world Iicard forecasts of cities and whole populations being wiped out in a future war. Sober scientists predicted that man's survival was in danger. Controversy has raged among military _mcn and scientists on the revolutionary effects of the start- ling weapon. A United States army report in i947 said: "The total dc- struction of a nation's resources which has evolved from the de- velopment of strategic bombing has been brought to culminnthm by thr- atomic bomb.
