At Blackpool recently, Rt. Hon. Anthony Eden, speaking to a Conservative party conference, gave this one: "The difference between Conservatism and Socialism is this: "Socialism says to a man: ‘You are a unit in the State. Work hard for the State as the State thinks best and the State will provide you with what it thinks you should have.’ "The Conservative party says: ‘You are an individual. Choose your own way of life and seek to develop to the full your own talents. If you do this and if you are prepared to accept the obligations that are essential to life in an ordered community then we regard it as the duty of the Government to see that out of the fruits of your labor you can build a life of your own for yourself and your family and at the same time feel the satisfaction of sharing in the com- mon purpose of a free society'." Eden added: "l call for a way of life for the British peo- ple under which industry may prosper and men be free. Man should be the master of his en- vironment, and not its slave. That is what free- dom means. lt is precisely in the conception of ownership that man achieves mastery over his environment. Upon the institution of property depends the fulfilment of individual personality and the maintenance of individual liberty." That Sugar Shortage Two groups of sugar experts from different continents have lately released coincidental charges that the sugar shortage, in those coun- tries not actual battle zones, is caused by the controlled price of this commodity. In a comprehensive study of the situation, the E. D. and F. Man Company of London, Eng- land, attribute the. world shortage of sugar to: (l) devastation during war; (Z) inability of half- starved people to provide 100 per cent effort; and (3) controlled prices in countries removed from the zone of hostilities are too low, to stimulate production. This analysis states that controlled prices will likely be increased this yean B. W. Dyer and Company, American sugar economists, for their part, emphasize in their review that low sugar prices are no incentive to production. The report states that tllefe i105 never been a better system than a free market and when it was wanted and charges that dis- regard for this principle is responsible for some of today's world shortage of sugar. Live Stock 0n Farms Estimates of the numbers of principal spe- cies of live stock on farms in Canada at June l this year show appreciable reduction from those of the preceding year, the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics reports. The decline of l0.8 per cent in hog numbers, reported in an earlier release, has been accompanied by reductions in horses, cattle and sheep. Cattle numbers, after reaching an all-time peak of 10,758,600 on June l, i945, show a re- duction on June l this year of 3.5 per cent. Most of the decrease occurred in the Prairie Prov- inces. Milk cow numbers, estimated at 3,913,- 900 at June l, i946, are 84,000 below those of a year ago. Numbers of horses on farms, which have been declining for some years, again indicate a reduction in i946. The estimate for June l this year stands at 2,396,850 as compared with _2,- 584,800, a decline of 7.3 per cent. The prin- cipal decreases have occurred in the Prairie Provinces. Numbers of sheep on farms are below those of a year ago with an overall reduction for Can- ada of 6.7 per cent, the total being 3,378,400 as compared with 3,621,800. The only province showing a gain over last year is Saskatchewan. Attack Arthritis lefenae soon may open up its lfi l-Iefllh guns against arthritis, one of mankind's oldest, most devilish and costly ailments. The "great crippler" ranks with the toughest riddles med- ‘ical men ever have tackled. lts physical effects have been fairly well tabled, but the cause at one end, the cure at the other, and much of the pathology between is an uncharted morass. _,Quacks have had a field day-—as they have had with other great ailments before genuine cures were discovered—and arthritis investigators esti- ,mote that millions of dollars are wasted annu- ally on phony cures and nostrums. The lock of knowledge is due chiefly to the fact that no one ever has been known to die from any- of the widely diversified forms of arthritis. Yet millions’ are afflicted, and it affects ten times as many persons as tuberculosis or dia- betes, seven times as many ar cancer-more than cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes and heart- dlseaie combined. One-third of all individuals past S5 years of age are arthritic. "ln human suffering and economic loss lt ls the deadliest of all diseases," says Dr. Wil- liam Firhbeln in explaining the task of the United National Arthritis Research Foundation. "No one ll safe from it, for it can strike in in- fancy as well as in alder life. It apparently afflict man in middle age, when they o be etthepaekoftliairpro- h‘ year as a co-ordinated effort of the U. S. Pub- lic Health, Service and of sponso a of the Loo N. Levi Memorial Hospital, Hot Springs, Ark., a non-sectarian institution which has treated I85,- 000 arthritics since I914. The foundation launched a country-wide campaign to raise $2,- 500,000 to start a diversified, long-range inquiry into the what, how and why of the disease. . - EDITORIAL NUIIT§ q We now enter the second half of the fin- est October within the memory of the oldest of us. Let us be thankful. Q i i i The l2th annual Charlottetown Hospital Bazaar, now in progress, is proving more popu- lar than ever. t, 1| l‘ Flt lt is this day week that Chief Scout Lord Rowallan visits us to inspect the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, and to confer with Scouters and the powers-that-be in public affairs. ll‘ Ill ‘ll Ill King's County is forging ahead, and is to be commended for its renewed public spirit. Montague is in the vanguard with its Memorial Hospital Campaign, and its Community Carni- val slated for the whole of next week. _ Iii 1f‘ I d‘ The egg expert from the Old Country who recently visited us raved enthusiastically over the fine spirit and industry of our poultry rais- ers. Now the British potato expert marvels ot the way our potato farmers manage to store potatoes through the winter. Both of them were highly delighted with our climate and scenic beauty. I i i Q There need be no immediate expectation of new picture theatres in Charlottetown _yet awhile. Both the Spencer and the Odeon inter- ests have plans ready t_o be put into effect, but nothing can be done so long as the war-time regulations regarding tenancies and priorities prevail. ' I O I I lt is hardly necessary to draw our readers’ attention to the fact that we have entered upon Bible Week--the period set apart by the British and Foreign Bible Society local branch in the in- terests of the organization. As will have been seen from our advertising columns, arrangements are completed for a canvass of the city and country for funds to help to maintain the Soc- iety and its worthy objectives. i ‘I i fi Allan Ramsay, Scottish poet, born this date I686; revived vernacular poetry, preparing the way for Fergusson and Burns; through his exert- ions, the first regular theatre was opened in Edinburgh; his works include The Tea-Table Miscellany, The Evergreen, The Gentle Shep- herd, Collection of Thirty Fables, Scots Pro- verbs: "Let fawk bode well, and strive to do their best; Nae mair‘s required — let Heaven make out the rest." w w n w Class antagonism seems to be developing in French Quebec, according to Professor Jac- ques Perrault of the law faculty of the Univers- ity of Montreal. Addressing the 23rd annual meeting of the Semaines Sociales du Canada at St. Hyacinthe, he declared that "middle-class" youth had no influence whatsoever on the agri- cultural and labor youth of Quebec province and the whole of Canada. "That division of classes appears to be the most worrying symptoms for the future of Canadians and French-Canadians in particular," he said. He expressed "serious doubts" for the survival of the French-Canadian minority with such among those three classes. He said the bourgeoisie as a class possessed in its hands the cultural, economic and adminis- trative direction of society. lt was not rural but rather lived in the large and small cities and towns of the province. "There exists today a deep division between the bourgeoisie or middle class and the a ricultural and labonclass," he said. "Family ti s even are not capable of do- ing away with such division. Bourgeoisie and farmers despise each other reciprocally, each accuses the other of being lazy. Urban residents do not know about the difficulties facing farm- ers, the latter believe that the former never work." Mr. Pcrrault said that a century ago the bourgeoisie had some contacts with farmers and craftsmen. Today, such contacts were al- most impossible between thc middle class and the agricultural arid labor class, and such divis- ion was a real threat to the survival of French Canada. _ "I ‘A ‘k i Much was written on the death of H. G. Wells. The newspapers all carried the story of his long and successful life, his genius, industry, versatility and scientific prophecies, his humble origin and international fame. Most of the outstanding literary people in London wrote ap- preciations. One interesting point which seems to have been made only by Macdonald Hastings in his London Letter in the BBC's Overseas Ser- vice is that the passing of Wells was the break- ing of one of the last frail links in what, in generations to come, will surely be regarded as one of the greatest periods in English literary history. At the beginning of this century, when Wells was in his heyday, the London scene was thronged with undoubted literary giants. As Hastings said, in the front rank with Wells, there were Show, Oscar Wilde, Hilaira Belloc, G. K. Chesterton, Rudyard Kipling, Thomas Hardy, Max lleerbohm. Only a little way ba- hind them were men like Gear a Moore, Robert Bridges, Conan Doyle, Arnold ennett, Maurice Baring, Quiller Couch, Edmond Gone, William Archer and e dozen more. And, now, with Wells’ death, of that amazing flowering of genius, only three are left. Show, of course. Hilaire Belloc, now a very old man with I long white beard. And Mair Iaerbohm, wall aver seventy, but as elegant and sophisticated as ever. When Max Iaerlrohm was in his early twenties, Oscar Wilde said that the gods had bestowed on iilrn the gift. perpetual ollrlae. bat nawthat helm ' aldageliroeeriis to here discovered perpetual ygetli. _ - . .
