It would be incorrect to say that there ever has been such an agi- tation in these provinces in the last 70 years. ln 1864, it is true, some of the leading public men of Nova Bcotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island met in Charlotte- town to discuss the merits of Maritime Union, but the project become merged in the larger scheme for the political union of British North America. and nothing has since been heard of the minorpro- posal, which, indeed the Confeder- ation of Canada has rendered en- islrely unnecessary. Those good friends in other parts of Canada who occasionally counsel the Maritlmes to roll them- selves up info a single province, for- get the functions of the Central and Provincial Governments respec- tively in such ‘s Confederation as that of the ~Dominlon of Canada. _ ln Canada. as in the United States, federalism simply created a Oeu- tral Government, with powers de- rived from the various provincial or state units. in order that it might legislate nationally and speak inter- nationally for those. units, which continued to exercise legislative andadminliitrative control over all matters of local concern. ‘~ The Provincial Governments, therefore. are essentially local ad- ministrations. and as such can iob- viously theJaetter discharge their functions the more closely they keep in touch with the conditions. needs and sentiments of their con- stituents, The more intensive in- deed the localizing of purely Pro- vincial Governments can be made, the more nearly do they approach io the ideals for which they exist. Theoretically of course this view might be pressed to an‘ absurd ex- treme. but practically the slzc‘~ of these local units in the Maritlmes has been fixed for all time by the accidents of history and political development. Nevertheless the feeling that l Nova Scotia. for example, is foo large rgther than too small a poli- ._ tical unit for effective local admin- - istrationahas on several occasions in the past found expression in a demand in Cape Breton for the es- tiibllshmciit of this Island info a separate province. Fortunately the agitation dies down in the course of the years. but thh fact that it did exist and that its influence turned the scale in at least one elcctio . shows how far from the mark those Central Canada news- papers are which suggest that there is. or has been, any Maritime sen- timent in favor of: further provin- cial centralisation. There is pre- cisely as much chance of a political merger of Ontario and Quebec as of the three and quite as much reason.
