INFORMATION IVANTED Sir,---I road in The Guardian with amazcnlcnl. the illfclrmatlon published by the M.'il'kCtllIg Board regarding the handling of the la- land potato crop. There is evident.- ly going to be plenty of lnsPECt0l”5 to see that the numerous regulat- ions are complied with. and the the farmer is the one who is going to pay their salaries. I have no doubt thailn ycarssucl-i aswe have just. had, the Board is perfectly capable of getting A good price for the farmer; but I would av- preciate vcry mllcll if Mr. Mac- Donald colild tell us what the Board would do to maintain prices if we ever have a surplus crop to market. It seems to me that if all these officials want to live off the farmers, it would be cheaper for us to send them out. to Beach Grove alld maintain them thcre instead of having them interfere with the marketing process.

Scandalous Failure

(Globe and Mail)

Incredulity, anger and disgust have been the public response to the escape from the Dali Jail of four of Canada's most. dangci'n'is crlmiimls. No excuse for this dis- griiceful episode is acceptable Evcn allowing for the difficulties caused by the age and weakness of the ninety-year-old structure Torollto is still using for a jail, there is not if single word which may be said for those charged with guarding these men while they were awaiting trial. Every fact which has been uncovered after the event points to complac- rncy, laxity and virtual irrespons- ibility in the dcgrce and nlcthnd of supervision. This neglect of duty has got. to stop, and nothing but the most drastic punishment. in the power of the Provincial jail authorities will satisfy the public's sense of outrage.

The folly of leaving these des-

eradocs unwatcllcd nild unat- tcndcd for even a minute is ap- parent. to everybody. But it is ad- nlitted they were merely "looked ill on" clcry once in a white by A guard who had other duties to share his attention. The stupldlly nf putting all four together ll adjoining cells is perhaps the mnsl incredible factor of the whnlc lnaticr. Such an al'l'angcnicllt virtually assured that. all would escape if one of them did. It. has been admitted by inference that the bars on the windows outside their cells, and through which they escaped. were not checked frequently for evidence of tamper- lnlz. Jail authorities obviously kept no watch outside the walls, which might have noted the saw- IIIR of the bars or the actual es- cape.

In abort. uliat. is there in the circumstances whlcli suggests that the Jail governor. his staff or his .supel'vlsol-s ill the Department. of Reform Institutions were fulfilling their responsibility? Any intellig- ent citizen could have apotted these weakneaaell. These men are making a. llfework of jail man- agement, and presumably are aware of all the tricks that may be tried. They are expected to measure their precautions by the size of bhelr-reaponalblllty. In this case, all of them had a. supreme duty to see that these men were held in custody until the trial had dealt with them. They knew'plol.a had been organized to aaalat the criminals; they were forewarned in the moat. alarming way. They ahould have spared nothing ill coat. time and effort to hold than men. There can be no forgiveness for their failure.

BARGAIN PRICES

The bargain prices at which huge estates in Prince Edward Island were obtained in the old days is revealed in the findings of a special committee, headed by Mr. Alexander Rae, which report- ed to the House of Assembly at the session of 1842. The commit- tcc had been instructed to search the Registry office records in rc- gard to the prices paid by those who bought up the claims of the original grantees to the townships of the Island. It. found, among other things:

”That for 160,000 acres, no coil- slderatlon appeals to have been given; at least, none is stated in the conveyance:

"That. for 193,332 acres, puf- chased by the Earl of Selkirk at different times since 1802, the amount. of consideration moneys is 113.005;

”That for 96,333 acms. pur- chased by the late Governor Fan- ning. and all purchased after his having entered on his office. and chiefly, if not all, purchased dur- in: his administration. and about thc years when the House of Assembly were praying the Crown in direct the greater part of the Townships to be escheated, the amount of consideration moneys appears to have been E623-one Township of 28,000 acres having been bought for Nine Pounds!

"That lll regard to the land clailncd by the late John Cam- bridge. only 51,600 acres appears on the record. and the amount of consideration moneys for these appears to have been 511,198.

”Thus. tllrec of those who have made the lamest claims on the right of the soil of the Island, ap- pear to have given for these claims livlllcll at the time they bought them were all liable to forfeiture) at the rate of three- pence aild a fraction of a penny per acre. and at the same time. and immediately thereafter. to have exacted from every individ- ual who had settled on such land. a rent nf one shilling per acre; and in the case of the Earl of Sel- kirk, to have induced hundreds to transport themselves and their families, at their own expense. from Scotland to this Island, here to commence clcarlng away the woods. struggling with the diffi- qultlcs incident. to want of roads, mills, nlnrkcts, churches and scllools; lllidcrgolnz illc rigours of the winters of this climate. when ill prepared to colltcnd therewith, and for the most. part unable to buy, and obliged to lease from him the land they had to clear. pay- ing him every year a rent. per ncre. more than cqulvalent to three times the price he paid pcr ncre. and still remaining. in many installers, in arrears of rent. and frequently fllstralned on and elected."

The Whole Truth

(From The Christian Science Monitor)

Figures don't lie. But figures without the facts necessary to explain them can be as mislead- ing as any other truths.

Take plane losses in Korea. The news briefs inform lls that the United Nations have lost I.- 572 aircraft while destroying 644 of the Redaz On the face of it, a score of worse than two to one against the U.N., and a tragically expensive job of military destruc- tion. And, and to say. there are those who. through either ignor- ance or design. will make the sta- tlstics say just that.

But the U.N. lost only 79 planes lll combat to almost the entire total of 644 Red craft ao destroy- ed. The remainder of th'e Allled losses were "operational" (mis- haps not due to enemy action) and planes shot down by enemy ground fire.

No one but the Communists know how many other loasca they have had. Their operational were, perhaps, in o r e proportionately

individuals designated in aucll conveyances as aaslgria of the or- iginal grantees, and sometimes no waya referring to such grantees. Further, that many individuals who had settled on townships which, at the time of their act- tllng and for many years there- after, were unclaimed, on auch claimant appealing, have been terrified. by the expense of resist- ing such a claim at. law, into promise to pay rent; and even though such promlae waa only verbal. or without promising even, if they paid only one year's rent. they are byhuch promise or pay- ment forever precluded from re- stating payment. even though such claimant will not exhibit ll single document. in support of his
