OUR CLAIMS AT OTTAWA

of Canada, on the tariff relations be- tween ms country and the United

As will be seen from the report states, a so-callcd Tariff Advisory

published elsewhere in this izsuc. our‘ claims at Ottawa have been engag- ing the a.tention of the 5511MB. B! motion having been introduced byl Senator Hughes calling attention toy the matter. Senator Dandurand, on. behalf of the Government, stated that the claims of the Western Pro- considcrcd and

vlnces were being

rived at those of the lviaritimc Pro- vinces would be adjusted. Senator gush” ha; dong good service in drawing the attention of the Senaic to the urgency and justice of our claims. He pointed out that our ad- ditional claims amounted to at lcest 5400.000 per annum, and no one at- tempted to contradict him. Having succeeded in placing cn rccord that ms minimum we are entitled to an- nuaily is $400,000, it ls for the Saun- ders Government to insist W00 U115- So far Mr. Saunders hes been very undecided upon .he amount to which we are entitled. He thought about $100,000, but seems uncertain whe- ther or not this would be in addition to m; pwisional $125000 now being received. Senator Hughes leaves no

» doubt about the matter. At the low- est calculation we are entitled to $400,000 per arinum.

The Senator does not sccm to have much regard for the financing of the Saunders Government or for its capacity to improve matters. He told tie Senate “we are going deeper in- to debt all the ‘time, and in the past year our total expenditure exceed- ed our total revenue by nearly $200.- 000." Yet the Saunders Government attempted to deny this during the sitting of the legislature, and to camouflage its incompetence by gen- eralities which could not deceive any one accustomed to handle ac- counts. The best thing the Saunders Govemrnent can do ls to seek the aid of Senator Hughes; he is thor- oughly familiar with the Provinces finances, having been External Aud- itorin 1923, and evidently has made s successful study of our claims at Ottawa. He has a clear and decisive way of presenting hLs Vbints. and ‘certainly has done good work in giv- ing the Senate something to think about. the mean shabby way Prince Edward Island has been treated compared with other provinces ever since entering Confederation.

IRRESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT

The establishment of responsible government in ihLs province and in other part5 oi Canada was effected liter years of advocacy by mcn who realized that if the country was to be the worthy home of free-barn mcn and women. the government must, 0f necessity. be in accordance with the wishes of the people. Canada has for many years. federally and pro-

Board was appoiined to “advise" the government as to where additions and deductions should be made to the customs duties. The Advisory Board was a hand-picked body se- lec.ed for the sole purpose of doing me government's bidding, and the result has been the tarifl tinkering’ and uncertainty and consequent iii- dustrial stagnation which the coun- try has suffered under the Dfesflil- regime. The idea is that where ob- jection l; taken to the rate of cus- toms duties on any item the respon- sibility is placed upon tha Advisory Board. the government being inno- ccnt of the whole transacation.

An ideal government in a demo- cracy would be one made up of stat- esmen with wisdom cnoulh l0 d9‘ velop measures for the country's good. and courage l‘) "Try Pam out. ‘Premire Mackenzie King and his supporters have failed under these two tests. Their method clearly is safety first, for themselves, with bill? little regard for the welfare of the country. Their whole regime has been marked by evidences of this Responsible government appears t0 be at an end in Canada. It can be restored only when the people, 0r at least a majority of them, awake t0 the responsibility devolving upon themselves as the free-born heirs to the great inheritance that has been handed to them by m“ m“ “ml the women who made Canada one of the greatest potential countries in the world.

The new calendar outlined by Mr. Mose; B. Ootsworth has just been discussed by the Monireal Chamber of Commerce. before whom Mr. Cots- worth gave an address exPlflmWYY of hi; proposals. The Chamber con- cluded the discussion by, instructinfi its legislative committee to give the matter its most serious consideration. and if it approves oi Mr. Cotswortlfs calendar then the Chamber of Com- merce will be in line with the Royal Society of,’ Canada, the Canadian Manufacturers‘ Association. the Montreal Board of Trade, ,and var- ious other societies arcl organiza- iions. It was Sir Sanford Fleming. builder of the Intercolonial and part of the C. P. R... and director o! the movement which brought, about th‘: adoption of international standard time, who invited Mr. Cotswonh, an English stalistician and accountant. to Canada. for the purpose of placing his proposals before the Royal So- ciety, It was about twenty years ago that the Society unanimously adopt- ed the calendar. but public opinion was not ripe for the change. Never- iheless, it has gradually found fav- or with all classes and has been all- provingly commented on by R mm‘

vincially enjoyed so called respons- ible government. In recent years there ha; been an increasingly men- acing departure from governmental responsibility. Whcn faced with dif- ficult questions involving inter-pro- vincial or external relations, tariffs. fiscal policies educational matters. etc, ihe government hands the re- sponsibility over to a commission. a board, a committee or a “goat? under some plausible name. i

Many examples might be citcdzl when the Maritime Provinces were pressing for their rights as specified in' their Confederation agreement. ins government handed the whole

i inittee of the League of Nations.

T119 projbil; is now so advanced ‘that it is possible an lmemational ‘ ccngress may b: called this year and ii it ratifiies the conclusion: arrived at there will then be a procpcct of ch; new calendar coming into effect on the firs‘, of January 1933, because on that date the year. mfmih find week all begin together. The scheme. as already outlined in the Guardian. proposes to divide the year into thirteen months, and to make East- er a fixed date.

It seems the Patriot claims that Senator Dandurand bore out what Premier Saunders said about the prospect of an early settlement of the subsidy queslion. The question really is, what did Premier Saunders say on the subject? l-le has talked a lot, round about it but so far has said nothing definite except to endorse what Mr. Stewart ‘suggested should be the procedure to follow in arriv- ini.’ at a decision. As to what we are entitled to receive and likely to get, th Premier has thc haziest idea-he thought we might get $100,000 per annum» but whether this was to be in lieu of, or in addition to, the present $125,000 temporary grant, he docs not inform us. In bringing the question before the SenateSenator Hughes has done the Province a dis- tinct service and in suggesting that an additional $400,000 per annum as

pect. the Senator has paved the way for the Saunders Government to file cur claim in concrete form.

The Government should bear In mind that nothing is to be gained by going to Ottawa- in the character of suppliants seeking the crumbs that may fail from the rich Provinc- es‘ tables. Our claims are just and equitable and we have both a legal and moral right to have them satis- fied. The trouble is that so few peg. pie really understand the "righteous- ness" of our claims. and consequent- ly our governments do not receive the solid, substantial backing neces- sary to drive home effectively our claims for substantial settlement.

It might be a. good thing If the Associated Boards of Trade, as A non-polilical body could convene a meeting at an early date. and have a discussion on our claims by such authorities as Chief Justice Mathia- son, Mr. Justice Arsenault, and sen. ator Hughes. to mention but three public men now outside active poli- tics rvho could give a great deal of valuable information in concrete form, on the subject. It would rc- qulre a body like the Board of Trade tn take the initiative and then we would have some assurance that the discussion was ouisideparty politics and entirely in the interests of the province. Education in this. as in other matters. is what coums 1n achieving an enduring success-an
