Before the war, in terms of present prices, the net output of British agriculture was about $1.6 billions, the Economist calculates. That is the value of tho produce sold off farms after

‘allowance for the cost of imported feeding stuffs. The output of British farms on the some basis is now $2.1 billions. Under the new plan this figure is to be raised to $2.4 billions five years hence.

The question which the consumer must now consider is what this extra home-grown food will cost him. The Economist believes that on the basis of present high world prices it may be no more expensive to grow additional food in, Britain than to import it. But this is not a safe

It is thus likely in the near future that the government's new food programme will mean paying $600,000,000 for British-grown food to re- place foreign food that could be bought for $300,000,000. The difference, of course, will be paid by the British consumer, either directly in food prices or indirectly in taxes to provide

Sin-I was amazed when I read in Saturday's Guardian that the office of the Bank of Canada in

,Charlottetown was to cease func- tioning in the Province on the 80th of this month; and dumbfounded, when further reading revealed the fact that this course was being

;pursued ‘because it was being ousted from its tenancy by the

ll-trovincial Government, upon the flimsy excuse that the latter re-l qulred the space occupied by the

Bank for provincial tax office pur- -

ity and over our most vigorous [provincial protests at. that; but I doubt if ever before in the history of the Province has this occurred under and by virtue of misguided pressure of s. Provincial Govern- . ment. i Who is responsible for this lqt- rut atrocity against our status as a Province? Has it been done with the full knowledge and con- sent of the Executive Council? lf not. action should be immediately taken by that responsible body, to whom the welfare of the Province has been ‘entrusted for a season, to preserve our equality with other Provinces in this and other respects, at any cost.

As leader of l-lls Majesty’: loyal Opposition in the Legislature, al- though now in recess, I protest to the utmost of my ability against this culminating humiliation that is now being self imposed by our Government, reducing us to the level of an appendage in our com- munity of Canadian Provinces.

TOURIST ACCOMMODATION

Bin-May I offer a suggestion to the. Association of Tourist Bureaus now in convention in Charlottetown.

It is generally admitted that the summer climate and hard sand beaches of Prince Edward Island are not excelled if indeed equalled in America. On the other hand we are greatly handl- capped because of our tedious and second class rail travelling sys- tern.

This defect can now be largely overcome, for after this month we shall have excellent docking accommodation for ocean vessels at the Railway wharf in the Char- lottetown harbour, at. which ves- vels from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and the Southern states can be received, also boats from Montreal.

At present we have not suffi- cient winter hotels such as would be required by the very many tourists that would come on these boats. '

In Dalvay we have an excellent hotel. but. small. A suggestion might, be to increase very largely the size of the kitchen and din- ing room by building to the east end, then construct one cr more

sleeping houses in the nearby grounds. A large entertainment hall

might also be built on the ground floor of one of the new buildings.

A special train could meet each boat at the Railway wharf and take the passenge a to Diilvay in a few minutes, returning with

guests desiring to leave in this manner. As Dalvay is in the National

Park the above plan should be of interest to both the Federal and Provincial Governments. I am, Sir, etc" ll. K. S. l-IEMMING.
