The Legislative Session

The legislative session created little public in- tcrcst this yrnr, one reason doubtless being the all-iliiptirirlnt issut-s of thc war, with which everyone is, or ottglit to bc, preoccupied. The terms of the Dominion-Provincial financial agreement were discussed pretty fully, the Gov- ernment finding it difficult to refute the Op- position claim that had their Public Accounts of r941 ln-t-rl properly prepared, showing the true deficit on current account, we should, 0n the basis of fiscal need, have rccived a much more substantial subsidy. As it is, however, we are $i75.0ooo licttt-r off utider the agreement, which the Doiiiinoin found it necessary to makc iii ordcr to obtain t-xclu-ivc jnri-tliction ovcr ccrtaiil fields of taxation for war purposcs.

Tlicrc was grncral coniiiiciitlzitioti of lhe pro- vision for itirrcasing tcztclicrs‘ salaries, though the uufziirncss of di-cotitiiitiitig payment of fllll salaries to high school tcaclicrs was pointed out by the Opposition.

Well Meriled Honor

Pine Hill College honours itself as well as the recipient in its decision to bestow the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon the Rev, Hugh Miller, B.A., I\I..‘\., B.D., of Trinity United Church, Charlottetown. Mr. Miller is known and esteemed throughout the hlaritime Prov- inces, where lie has held different pastorates with outstanding credit and distinction. He has brought to his duties a high sclisc of social re- sponsibility as well as talent and scholastic at- tainments, and his sincerity and conscientious- ncss have impressed themselves upon all classes of our community. That he will ably uphold the dignity of his new degrecﬂhc highest in the bestowal of any college—goes without saying. In congratulating him upon this well merited re- cognition, Tlw Guardian is not utimindful of the many courtcsies received by newspapermen at .\Ir. I\Iillcr’s hands.

FARM PRODUCTION

Sin-I have read with keen ln- terest “Agriculture's 1942 Pro- gram”, as outlined tn The Guar- dian's news columns.

It is good to see the determln- atlon on the part of the Dominion Government to give a rather more generous deal to our plrmary pro- ducers. One or two of my polltl- cally-mlnded neighbors have asked me lf this change-over in the of- flclal attitude towards our basic industry ls not. also an example of the democratic technique “too little, too late"? My reply ls that. lt ls a. move in the right direction and that rural Canadians may be relied upon to respond to the llm- ll. of their energy and tliclr eco- nomic equipment!

I note that Dr. G_ S. H. Barton (Deputy Minister, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture) makes reference to the startling fact that “Apart from wheat, the whole country had less than a month's feed supply on hand before the crop of 1941 was harvested. . ."; also to. the fact that. "the hazards of climatic condltlons cannot. be Ignored. . ."

It; ls timely that. these vital con- slcleratlons should be brought for- ward. so that their dangerous lm- plications can be blended lnto the production plans of our faxsners. alkle ln the East. and West. I re- call the thought-provoking fact, relatlve to the aforesaid “hazards of climatic conditions”, that. this country's greatest wheat crop (550.000,000 bus.) ln 1928. and its smallest wheat crop (17l,000,000 bus.) tn 1937, both came from the same number of seeded acres, l. e., 25,300,000 acres. What. has happen-

ed before can be repeated. Who knows? A noted farm leader from the

prairies. (John n. Wesson) ap- peared before the agricultural commlttee of the House of Com- mons last week and, among other things. said: "Amld all the talk of building-up reserves to feed SlﬂYl/lllg P901316 \\l"l€f‘l the war is over, there ls tlic prospect the wheat. surplus wlll not. be there in three or four years. I am not afraid of the wheat surplus bogey. . ." Those are my vlews, sir.

Meantime the West ls apparent- ly going “all out" on the feed grain and ‘bacon for Britain’ fronts. Minimum price-tags on the fin- ished products has. at least, given them the green light at last?

I am, Slr, etc. ON THE ROOF”.

Ceiling Needed On Speeches

(Fort Erie Tlmehllevlew)

Donald Gordon has made a. speech. That in itself is hardly nevrs, for the energetic chairman of Canada's Wartime Prices and ‘Trude Board has made many speeches since he was given su- Di-eme control, by crder In coun- cil, over Canadas business struc- ture. What; ls news ls the revela- tion or Ml‘. Gordon's conception of his duties.

‘mat: speech ln question was de- livered before a jolnt. meeting of Montreal service clubs and broad- cast over the 6.3.0. In the course of lb Mr, Gordon said: "Selfish or private lnterest must be ruled out completely. The competitive sys.

must go, to be replaced with one which ls based entirely upon the criterion of unto-imam produs- tloii. wl"h the mast efficient n” cf labor, machinery and materials to operate steadllv without cease except. fol- necessary rest or maln- tenance." Townds the close of his address he called for each citizen to “regard himself as his brother's keeper, and let. lt be known that the evade!‘ of wartime regulations ti; a creature ixnflt. for wartime as. soclatlon, in be hurried nwav to the rulrshmenl: he so richly‘ de- serves." He a‘so said that. Cana. dlans must accustom themselves to “a standard of living based upon bare essentials."

Stripped or rhetoric that. an un. kind observer might desaﬂbg n5 hysterical, Mr. Gordon's speech l5 In part quite sensIbZe. The ques- tion remains whether he was the man to make lt.
