important Recommendations

There will be ample material for discus- sion by the Legislature when it meets on Thursday. in the recommendations made to the Government by the Economic Advisory Board. Chief among these recommenda- tions are the necessity of urging upon the Federal Government that control and oper- ation of the carferries and terminals be taken from the Canadian National, Rail- ways and given to a Department of Gov- ernment or to a Commission; that a fully documented report of our difficulties during the rail strike be sent to the Royal Com- mission on Transportation; that the double ferry service be maintained at Borden dur- ing the whole period of open navigation; that a study be made of the question of L I claiming damages from the Federal Gov- 3 i ernment for losses incurred because of the .1 tieup in the carferry service, contrary to the terms of Confederation; and that the Federal Government be requested to allow this Province representation on the.'C.N.R. board of directors. Other recommendations emphasize the encouragement of coastal shipping and study of markets to be sewed by this means; the Chignecto canal prolect; the encouragement of private enterprise to set up a truck clearing centre; a study by the Provincial Government of gasoline and oil storage facilities; and the need for improv- ed methods in handling traffic congestion on the Wood Islands ferries. It is not claimed that these recom- mendations cover all our transportation problems, but they provide a concrete 10- point programme which should be of value both to the Government and the Legisla- ture in dealing with the vital question of maintaining uninterrupted communications - with the mainland. First and foremost is

the necessity of removing our carferry E service from railway operation and control. I This has always acted as a hindrance in the pressing of our transportation require- ments, and we can hope for no progress in other directions until the Dominion Gov- ernment shoulders its full responsibility for the continuous maintenance of this service, as it is pledged under Confederation to do.

Diplomatic Blunders

General Douglas MacArthur's brimmlce as a soldier has become somewhat tarnish- ed by his unauthorized forays in the diplo- matic field. Those forays concern For- mosa, and Formosa, it is certain, stands for . the moment as the powder-keg of Asia.

A popular misconception which has gained currency in Canada and elsewhere in recent weeks is that the United States is committed to the defence of Formosa, presently the stronghold of Chiang-kai-shek and the Chinese Nationalists. The fact of the matter is that President Truman, when he enunciated American policy vis-a-vis For- mosa on June 27, intended something quite different. That policy was aimed not at v; the defence of Formosa, which does not lie within the defined perimeter of the United States sphere of influence in Asia, but rath- er at the "neutralization" of the area for the purpose of preventing a further spread , of hostilities in the Far East. The United 1 "7. States Navy has, in effect, been charged

with the difficult task of preventing the

Chinese Nationalists and the Chinese Reds

from reaching each other across the waters

that separate Formosa from the Chinese t mainland.

General MacArthur's tactless and un- authorized trip to the island stronghold, where he was photographed kissing the gloved hand of Madame Chiang-llal-shek

It is heartening to know that the Cana- dian Government recognizes the Formosan situation for the powder keg that it is, and is determined to use what influence this country has in international affairs to pre- vent the Far Eastern tension from blazing forth into a major worlf conflict because of the political indiscretions of the United Nations Commander. '

Fisheries

One thing which puzzles visitors here is the lack of variety of seafoods, 'both in stores and eating places. In an island set down amidst countless varieties of fish it seems strange that we should be generally limited to a very small choice for eating. At the same time, Northumberland Strait lob- ster fishermen are finding that the catch is not up to expectations, either because of depletion or because the lobsters have been driven into deeper water.

It is obvious that both fishermen and dealers would benefit by greater diversifica- tion of their product. Yet to the, consumer it would mean an actual saving in living ex- penses, the fish products being so pmuch more economical than comparable meats.

It is, of course, the old story of the vicious circle. There is supposed to be no market except for standard fish pro- ducts, and the housewife who looks for va- riety is unable to find it. We do not make use of anything like all our sea-food re- sources now but we would all be much bet- ter off for doing so.

Advocates of restoring the Canadian dollar to par with the American would do well to reflect that it would have the ef- fect of reducing the price of all imported goods by that amount.

Senate reform continues to receive luke- warm advocacy but the Sen:-tge is quite powerful enough to block any threat to its existence and the Commons will certainly not go far in building up a rival to itself.

CENTRAL ACADEMY REPAIRS I

HQ?

House of Assembly. Saturday. April 22, 1848:

Mr. Palmer moved that the sum of 64 pounds be granted for the making of certain necessary re- pairs in and about the Central Academy.

Messrs. Thornton, Fraser. Moon- ey, McIntosh and Lelsacheur, in succession. opposed the grant. and principally, on the same grounds- -namely, that as the Academy buildlrlg had been erected and the institution endowed at. the -pub- lic expense, and that chiefly for the benefit of the inhabitants of Charlottetown to whom it afforded an almost gratuitous education for their children; and, as i.n the school districts in the country the school houses were erected. furn- ished and repaired at the sole ex- pense of the subscribers of such schools, who for the support there- of recelved only very trifling al- lowances' from the Government, -50 it would be only reason- able and Just that dhe inhabitants ofcharlottetown. and especially the wealthier portion thereof, whose children were receiving their education in the Central Academy should be compelled. by law, to provide means for the repairs of the building, if they would not do so by voluntary contribution or subscription.

Messrs. Palmer and J. Long- worth n.-presented that the build- ing was not only public ' property, but the means of rendering the most important service to the whole community; and it was the duty of the Legislature and the Govern- ment to take care. so far as in their power, that the Academy building should not, more than any other public building, be allowed to fall into I state of dilapldation and decay.

The hon. Speaker. although en- tertaining opinions in the main similar to those already expressed by some of the members who had opposed the motion. was decidedly of opinion that the building. so long as it should be considered Public property. ought not. for the want .of a. legislative grant to ef- fect needtul repairs. to be allowed to fall into decay: and for this sole purpose he moved 3 grant of 40 pounds.

Hon. Mr. Coles agreed that the inhabitants of Charlcttetovm, who derived the chief benefit from the lnstlhltion. were certainly the parties who ought to provide for

the building, which. he was further 0! opinion, might easily be effect- ed by knposlns A small nnnuol tax -- say of 25. dd. -- on every pupil in the establibhment. to be paid over and above the tuition fees. In the meantime. he would vote for a sum sufficient to effect the repairs which were then act- uaily necessary. ,

The question was then put on the hon. speakers motion for n gum of 40 pounds, which was lost on n division.

POTATO GROWEll8' VEEORGANIZATION

sir. - It is a long time since re organization of the last. of the old- tlme Provincial Cc-operatives was first. asked for.

After much agitation action is to be taken Thursday of this week on 1. resolution passed at the last on- nuai meeting of the P. E. 1. Pots- to Growers Association. asking for reorganization under the P. E. Is- land co-operative Associations Act. (P. E. I. Government regllihtions).

To my knowledge this is the first. time that a voting member- ship has been defined or a notice mailed which states who are elig- ible to vote. the purposelcf the meeting. etc., and reasons which point out the penalty you pay if you vote in favor of the resolution (scmething which I consider should have not been put in a notice which merely was supposed to announce the meeting and its purpose).

Since the time that the resolu- tion was first passed some'of the directors have repeatedly attempt- cd to discredit the action taken at that meeting.

One of the principle contentions was that it wasn't. the voice of the Potato Grower-s' members or those with sincere intentions but rather the voice of people with no other desire than wrecking the organic ation.

Many small growers voted on the resclutlon who never before considered they had sufficient rea- son or that the issue was suffic- iently important to warrant, their attendance at an annual meeting. but when they did attend were treated and spoken of with very little respect.

Regardless of the outcome of Thursday's meeting, there will be the remembrance that on one oc- casion at least farmers not only in- slated that they M heard. but have the added satisfaction of having had their word acted on.

On the former occasion formers attended from long distances and remained from noon until midnight. and the only ones who regretted 103111! I nl8ht's sleep were those who were experiencing defeat for the first time since the growers first organized. .

VOICES OF EARTH

We have not heard the music of the spheres,

The song of star to star. but there are sounds

More deep than human joy and human tears,

That Nature uses in her common rounds;

The fall of streams. the cry of winds that strain

The oak. the roaring of the sen's surge. night.

That falls by minute: in the sum- mer night.

These are the voices of eu'ti:'.s secret soul.

Uttering the mysbery from which sheicame.

To him who hears them grief be- yond control,

or joy inscrutable without a name.

Wakes in his heart thoughts bed- ded there. impesrled.

should be final and the last op- portunity the small grower will have of saying yes or no at s time or place his vclce will carry weight.

The circular states - A vote against would mean that the pres- ent setup of the I ' " would continue.

In plain words this means it would be a. business planned-and financed by the small growers for the convenience of the loaders, truckers, employees and the large growers who have always support- ed a policy that served their inter- ests first, last and always. and who have been the principal opposition to the reorganization under the Cooperative Associations Act.

Surely all farmers who believe they are entitled to vote will at- tend thi! meeting regardless of the sacrifice of time and rest lost and decide definitely the system under whlch they would like to operate.

' in closing I would like to add that great deeds of the past are only an influence and not a guar- antee of prosperity in the future. I am, sir, etc..
