Member-e Audit Bureau of Clrculationa “The Strongest Memory is Weaker than 3 the Weakest Ink". jj SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1938 A Grave Situation The situation of our unemployed was brought forcibly hoiiic to all concerned at Thursday nighfs meeting in the City Hall. It is evident that conditions have been going from bad to worse, despite evidence of economic recovery iii other dircctioiis- The meeting was not [irimzirily coiiccriictl with placing responsibility for this state of affairs, litit with obtaining prompt and effective action. A number of rclief projects were outlined ivhich would do much to remedy the situation, hut something more than a schedule is iiccc~sar_v, .'ippari-ntl_\', to obtain action. .\t'l"tll'illllg to onc speaker at 'lihtirsdzi_i"s meet- ing. the authorities zit Uttawa are under the ini- prcssioii that we are a prosperous province, less in ncctl of relief than other parts of Canada. lf this is the case, then it should be a simple mat- tcr for our provincial and federal representa- tives to correct the misunderstanding. One pr0iii— ineiit iiicniher at least of the Dominion Govern- nient—-l~‘iiiance Minister Dunning—must he aware of the conditions existing in his own con- ltitncncy. Ilc is certainly familiar with our need for harbour improvements, which the (‘lizirli-tit-t-iivii lEoai-rl of Trade impressed upon aim \('l'_\’ forcibly a year ago. and which Mr. \\'» (‘heater 9. .\icl.ure suggested should hc C(l\'\‘l'\'1l by a million dollar vote iii this year's estimates. \\'ork of this kind would not only relieve the present unemployment situation, but would provide continuous employment on tht: water front, by reason of the increased steamer traffic which would result. \\‘ith regard to the North and West River bridge projects, the strong agitation for this program two years ago will be recalled. Last year a discouraging statement was received from the Dominion Government to the effect that berr and supporters. The only “political propa- ganda" likely to mislead him was in these same speeches He could not fail to note how, from time to time, the members themselves were prompt to accuse each other of talking for poli- tical efiect, and of drawing “invidious compari- sons," making “deliberate misstatements of fact” and even of speaking “without any feeling for their fellow men" Our contemporary insists on interpreting these comments in a Pickwickian sense. But why object to an unbiased observer taking them at their face value? After All These Years Mr. A, E. MacLcan, M.P., has s0 far bestir- red himself as to ask, from his seat in Parlia- ment, what the King Government is doing for the Maritimes in the way of opening up trade negotiations with Cuba “or any other countries in that general area." Hon- W. D, Euler, Minister of Trade and Commerce, replied that “even this Government can do only one thing at a time"; that ever since taking office they had been “fairly well em- ployed in the making of agreements"; that he “understood quite well” the desire of the Mari- time Provinces for trade with Cuba; that the (iovcriinient was “bearing this in mind”; but “at the same time I must say that. at present there are no trade negotiations in progress with Cuba.” Poor lllr. l\'IacLcan! \Vhen we recall the way he matlc the rafters ring in the I935 campaign about our Cuban trade, and the profits he cal- culated would accrue to our farmers from this trade when the Liberals got back to power, we feel that his patience must have been sorely tried by Mr. Euler's lackadasical answer- If Mr. litiltirhs excuses mean anything, they mean that the government Mr. MacLean supports so staunchly has been too busy catering to the trade interests of other sections to bother with the in- tcrcsts of Mr. MacLean’s constituents. Three years in power. and still_ “no negotiations in progress with Cuba.” llicanivhile. according to news despatches, ("iilm is ready and anxious to enter into trade "negotiations looking to a greater volume of com- pierce between the two countries.

In fact. the main and supplementary estimates of the Fediera Government, issued offici- ally and revealed in semi-official elrelee, indicates that 0t wa. is lain t th b w lxig land may reduce Cane 03a nu- tlonui income during the coming year.

The drop varies between 80 b0 40 per cent in the case of the American trade, with the actual variation depending upon temporary or exceptional cir- oinrietances and a, noteworthy fact belnghteliat the largest decline ls tn are not covered by the 1935 pact.
