But, he nevertheless said that power to get the job done has to be lodged in some one, and that Congress would have to vleld some of its powers. If the United States should get into the war, Kennedy said at one point, it was inevitable that soon- er or later. American manpower -would be thrown into the fray. Representative Karl Mundt (REP- N.

Mundt said, "we would have to supply the differential?” “Yes, sir," Kennedy agreed. "And that would be about twice as many men as were in the AEF." Mundt added.

It is. therefore. of the utmost im- portance that all citizens do every- thing in their power to assist and develop it in every way.

In sniclt 13111118. business has been fair with good returns during most of the season. Salt cod fishing and mar- keting is about as usual. the county of Prince contributing about one and a half million pounds of fish with only fall" returns to the fish-. ermen. In regard to oyster fis - lng. comparing the catch with 121st year. the figures are rather dis- couraging. but some of the planters decided nottofish all their saleable oysters. but left them to grow an- other year. which is good business. The county catch for i939 was up. proximately 4600 barrels, whllc the season of 1040 is a few barrels less. Some competltionin this line may be expected from British Columbia planters. who have tried out the Japanese product for planting with very good results. and it is under- stood have placed them on the To- ronto market with very satisfactory es . The lobster business has been in a. precarious condition since the outbreak of war. and owingtomany ters not grading 11p to the standard set by the government graders. many good saleable lob- sters were left on the hands of the packers. There has been a shrink- age of over four million pounds on the lobster catch during the past three years is rather startling news.

I wish to warn the people of Prince Edward Ishnd that the Tele- phone Octopus ls again trying to get its tentacles around their necks for a strangle hold. Sometime last Fall the Telephone Company applied to the Utilitv Commission to have their case re- opened. This was granted and on the 23rd of October the hearing was llcld in the Court House ill Char- lottetown. Evidence was taken and the Commission had us furnished with a copy of those proceedings. and to say the least. it is very in- teresting. I We l1ove at this time enlisted the support of Mayor Holman of Char- lottetown and 111s Council, and their Recorder, Mr. Martin. The Tele- phone Company had been teLmg them they would not be effected by their demands. but the "Oat got out o1 the nag." and we have our forces added to. I wish to say here that the chair- man and members of the Utility Commission gave the defenders every consideration, and gave LS 1m adjournment when we requested lt. EIIICL now the different towns and nlages which received this copy are making a studv of same. I hope that towns and villages which have not had representatives attend those hearings will see that they are represented at the next hearing. The Mayor and Town Council here have given the Utihty committee of this Board the fullest support, and it is up to not. only the citizens of the towns and villages, but every resident of Prince Ed- ward Island to combat this move of the Telephone Co. insioe J. Lldstmze Chairman Utility Com. Marine Committee This report of harbour activities for the port of Summerslde for the season of 1 will be very brief, owing to a dearth of shipping caus- ed by the war and other contribut- ing causes. The season opened with three fertilizer steamers and the continu- auce of the Anticosti Shlgping Co. with the 8.5. Fteuris in t e Mont- real service. There were also s number of schooners formerly considered anti- quated in the frelghtlng business. They were this vear again much in the picture. freighting materials for the Air Port. In the Fall we had threesteam- ers call for pit props and pulpwood; a fourth one tried to get in but failed owing to ice conditions. The promised assistance bv the Domin- ion Government S. S. Brant from Charlottetown failed to ntaterialize. In connection with the export of pulpwood from this port, permis- sion was granted from Ottawa to use the railway wharf and frel ht sheds to assemble this comm ty, after it was denied by authorities on the Island. The result of this procedure was that about 200 cords of wood had to be hauled from wharf to accom- modate the usemb of pote- toes.

This, we presume. could be clas- sified as one case of the much talk- ed of remote control. _ One steamer loaded potatoes for United States markets as compar- ed with flve “at season.
