CHARI-01"1'ET0W-V. WEDNESDAY. JULY 4. 1951

Not unseemly

The brightening prospects for a cease- fire in Korea may not, and in fact do not. bring an overall settlement of the world's troubles very much closer. The success- ful stand of the relatively small U. N. forces, however, did avert the immediate threat of successful aggression and negotiations can continue with on the basis that other factors are more important than readiness to launch such attacks.

Meanwhile nothing is to be gained by putting on a long face and deploring the state of the world. In fact it would be play- ing into the hands of would-be aggressors to allow a spirit of depression or defeatlsm to rise.

Charlottctowns Festive Week, like more historic celebrations, helps to maintain a sane and cheerful spirit. As the late Pres- ident Roosevelt declared, "We have noth- ing to fear but fear”, and although care- free cclebration should not take the place of steadfast determination and action, it forms a most excellent accompaniment.

The Wood Islands Service

Figures released yesterday by North- umberland Ferries Ltd. for May and June traffic show a very substantial increase over the corresponding months of last year in passengers and automobiles, emphasizing once again the need of more adequate ferry facilities between Wood Islands and Car- ibou. It is inevitable, in view of the in- creased traffic, that there should be com- plaints with regard to the delay at both terminals. This handicap the operating rompany has sought to overcome by obtain- ing authority from the Canadian Maritime Commission to provide a new and larger boat to replace the "Prince Nova”. The re- quest lias been turned (iownon the pretext of economy, and the interests of this Prov- ince will suffer materially as a consequence.

The Dominion Government could find i850,00(l of the taxpayers' money to en- able at Canadian firm to complete and de- liver ships to a mysterious Ming Sung In- iustrial Company now reportedly oper- ating in Communist-controlled waters from nvisible headquarters in Charlottetown md even to provide exemption of these ves- wrls from Federal shipping regulations. This money would have gone a. long way towards providing a new boat for the Wood Islands zcrvice. Where does "economy" come into the picture here? It is tragic that our ef- forts at developing this Province as a tour- ist centre should be stultified for the ben- efit. of the C.N.R.-operated service at Tor- nicntine and Borden, at a time when both services should be running at maximum ef- ficiency and with every encouragement from the powers that be. The ever-increasing traffic at Wood Islands is an unanswerable argument against the Maritime Commis- sion's ruling. Must we submit to this in- justice while we have members at Ottawa who can speak and act on our behalf?

Bad News For Moscow

llrnlessor Sumner II. Slichter, the dis- tinguished economist of Harvard, has set down some heartening facts with regard to the United States rearmament effort. A year ago, he says, the United States was producing goods and services at the rate 'of. h29!l.6 billions annually. In the second quarter of 1950 that rate had reached 53313.9 billions, a gain of about 6.6 per cent. This improvement, remarkable in so short it space and at a time of high production,

V was the result of a larger and more effic-

iento labor force. Two-thirds of it was due to rising employment, and the rest to more output per man-hour, which has been in- creasing at the rate of 2.5 per cent per year, the nations normal rate of progress. The increase in output and in individual productivity continues. Professor Slichter expects the gross national product to rise between 7 and 9 per cent between the first quarter of 1951, and the first quarter of 1952, or between 3221 billions and 528 bil- lions a year. The dimensions of such fig- ures can be better grasped when it is re- membered that Canada's total product will probably be about 920 billions this year. These early gains in the United States will result from an expected rise of two million in the labor force, from an expected increase of 3 per cent tn working hours, and, it is hoped. by an increase in output per man-hour of 2 per cent. '11 all this the moat astounding fact..iI

n.

in the national product during the last year.

in some lines, defence has not reduced the total amount of goods and services avail- able to the civilian consumer.

However, defence which is now costing some 930 billions a year, will steadily in- crease its demand for goods up to a rate of about .'a50 billions early in 1952. At that time, if total output rises between 921 billions and 3528 billions, as expected, "the supply of goods available for civilian con- sumption," Professor Slichter says, ”at best will increase very little and may drop."

This means that the United States econ- omy will be able to provide a gigantic di- version of goods into armaments and, at the same time, maintain almost the same civilian supply as before. Nothing compar- able has ever been achieved by any nation before--and this by a private enterprise system which Communists have long ex- pected to collapse under its present load and which socialists continually attack as in- efficient.

The peak strain of the rearmament pro- gramme, Professor Slichter expects, will oc- cur in the first quarter of 1952, after which its present rapid rate of increase will taper off and then will cease, though armament expenditures will continue high for about a year after that. Hence, barring general war, relief from the economic strains of armament can be foreseen, probably by 1953.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Festive Week continues. IO Gt 8 The public is having its money's worth in street parades and dancing these days. k 0 O A long wait is being experienced by autos travelling to and from the mainland. but all the cars get across eventually. Ii 0 I ID

The Little Theatre's "Hansel and Gretel" tonight is supposed to be for little people but appeals to the young in heart of all

For the firemen it is the morning after the night before but their parade this morning gives citizens a chance to show the interest and enthusiasm that all ages have for the "fire-eaters."

An elderly ”lslander abroad" who has not been home in thirty years recently commented that Prince Edward Island is remarkable for its peace and quiet. This week, at least it seems more remarkable than either peaceful or quiet.

THE BIG PROBLEM

Sir.-It is commendable that our Government has appointed A nutritional director for P. E. i. What we mothers would like to be shown is whom we can gel the money for more than the bare necessities after the rent is paid. Eggs? Milk? Butter? Cheese? Meat? Fish? Fruit? And we are to be advised to grow more food. is that a job for the over-worked mothers? We mothers have brains enough to chop-but only the judges will have money enough to buy. We are getting rather tired of lectures on nutrition. What we n.eu nits. is a fair wage and is chance to live. If the Govern- ment. told us they were red-ucing taxes on our food and clothing, ll. would be something. Todayis S6-i question is how can we pay the price? ,, I am, Sir, el.c..

A WORRIED MOTHISR

TIIAVELLING FACILITIES

Sir,-I have just. returned from another visit to "The Island” and was very glad to hear the words of praise for the scenery and the friendly people. by those who were making their first trip. Our party was unfortunate in our trip back to the mainland and I am ture that you must receive many complaints about that. We had made an early start. and ar- rived at the wharf in time to find out that. there were several more cars than the boat could take. We would have liked a cup of coffee at least. but found that we might. just. as well have been stranded in the wilds. One can appfeclaie '-hc difficulties of the company run- ning these boats and the fact. that any facilities for travellers, other than the present. meal"! OM5- would be hard to arrange. '1 thought that it would be 909515” to get. some refreshment as soon as the boat docked, but. was told that we could not. set anything until the boat sailed. why is there that quite unnecessary dlscourtcsy? Then when the boat finally sails there is a mad rush to get. meal tickets, while other: are aiDemPl' ing to pay their transportalon. There may be some good reason for this, but I doubt. very much 1. it, is good enough to explain SW?-V the irritation many travellers will have at that final touch. when we arrived at the N- 5- side at. man, there appeared lo,” sufficient cars to fill the remain- ing three trips of the boat. for that day, and we passed other cars ob- viously headed for the crosoinB- II- will be a poor start. to your cel- ebrations for those people- lam.
