Stockholm's enumeration of German warships reminds us that Hitler still has under his orders cruisers and destroyers, and a couple of his pocket-battleships, in addition to a large fleet of submarines.

Last December i it stood at 118-5, indi- cating that the cost of living had gone up only i8 1-2 per cent in five and a half years. To the average housewife, this sounds in- credible. She points out that meat has gone up anywhere from 50 to 75 per cent; that lard is up per cent; cheese 70 per cent; bacon 5o per cent and butter 42 per cent. She also thinks ‘of the fancy prices for out-of-scason fruits and vegetables, of the price of canned goods and fish. ' - But food makes up only about 35 per cent of the things in the total index. The other main groups are fuel and light, rent, clothing, home furnishings, and ‘fmiscellaneous items." None of these has risen like food. Actually, food has risen about 34 per cent——it would have been more without price ceilings and other controls. The all-around cost of living has risen only 18.5 per cent.

In 184i re was one for 4.6. The I055 in population has been chiefly in the non-farm people. This has in. creased dependence on distant markets. Fortunately fanning has filled the breach in a surprising- iy effective way. Favourable not resources or soil, climate and topography have made this result possible. Yet great obstacles had to be overcome by the farmers themselves in secur- ing this result. Consider the evol- ution of the Island farms. 184-1 to During the period from 186i the area cleared was 547 acres. In the next years it was 2%.608 acres. next twenty years it was acres. In the neiot twenty years it was 41.034 and in the lost twenty years there was a return of 29.929 acres to the unimproved classification.

A. G. L. McNaughton for the post of Defence Minister have been effectively, removed not only by his defeat in the selected con- stituency of Grey North but by the manner in which he conducted himself when the fact of his de- feat became evident to him. The disgruntled vehemonce which characterized Gen. McNaughton both as Defence Minister and as l! parliamentary candidate appeared at this moment of defeat with a striking nsrrowness. In the politi- cal history of this country most candidates, even when defeated, have been able to maintain at least a show of sportsmanship and of acquiescence in the public will. Gen. McNaughton, however, found it necessary to release his indig- nant disappointment. these words: “I am apologizing to no- bodv and congratulating nobody." Yet if this were all that he said, it might be dismissed as some- thing unpieasontly ludicrous. But Gen. McNaughton went on to make ii statement of considerable length. It might be expected that this statement would express his re- gret that his devoted intentions with regard to the troops overseas had not received a greater recog- nition, and that it night end with an expression of his resolution to sec- that the reinforcements are dispatched with the speed and in the number that the needs de- mand. Yet in this statement of many words, there is not so much as one word that refers to the war, to the soldiers fighting that war, or to the reinforcements that those soldiers ‘smurgently require. . After attributing hi: defeat to “the forces of Tory reaction," he went on to declare his own Doll- ticsl allegiance. "For myself." ho confessed, “I lmve given my lo alt; and devotion to the Prime lnis- ter. .’. have dedicated myself to the great cause for which the Lib- eral psrty stands. I will fight to the end and in the end our cause will triumph." Yet Gen. McNaughton said nothing that would indicate that the great cause for which the Liberal party stands is the cause of backing up t e Canadians fight- ing overscas, nor that the trium h of this great cause will mean t. e adequate flow of reinforcements overseas. On the contrary, his eye: seemed to be directed to that new post-war world in which the need for “reinforcements shall havt pass away. Hg‘ declared his ideas in these or ' w . That battle (i.e. the battle with the "Tory reactionarlos") is to decide the future of Canada for a long time to come. It is to de- cide whether our young men and women will have a pro er oppor- tunity to grow up in reedom of conscience, of faith And of ex- pression-tra live their lives in happiness and Bbilildflflue oi whether they are to come undei the bondage of a completely un- AJILPUlOU-S dictatorship which Xlbflllllléffldw under the false front of s progressive lpbel." The trend in the last two dec- ades may mean that some were over zealous in “imbroving" re- sultiriiz in over clearing.

It appears that in this case at least farmers cleared the land whether they owned it or not. The new land cleared, was more pro- ductive of crops at that time, free- ly shipped away by water. This explains in part why improve- lipelgt progressed even under lease- o Not only did these formers im- prove their holdings when uncer- tain as to the title but they also managed to secure a slightly larger improved area per farm from a declining total improved area. This was done by decreas- ing the number of farms. o o The year 191.1 was the peak year in improved area for the Island. Since that time the total improv- ed area has declined. Yet in 1911, the improved area per form was 54 acres and in 1941 it was 60. In 911 the average size of the farm was 86 acres. and in 19411 it was Q6. This has not come about by each farm being enlarged. It is due to smaller farms being ab- sorbed. It is not slated or implied that the absentee ownership was ti suitable system. It is pointed out that the system may not have been as bad as generally submit- ted judged by results. The system of leasehold was somewhat similar to the seignior- a1 tenure of Quebec and the early endeavor to settle Upper Canada. In Quebec the Selgniors lived on their Seigniories. ’I'hat made a great difference. Yet the rebel- iion of 1837 and 1838 was due. we are told to the Clergy Reserves in Upper Canada nnd the Seignoral Tenure of Quebec. I l I The trouble on the Island was not only quit-rent of from 2 to 6 shillings per hundred acres. Lack of settlement of some of the lots was noted in 1797 when Z3 town- ships cotnprlsing almost half a million acres had settlers. Twelve townships at that comprising almost a quarter of a million acres hsd only 8d famil- ies. Six more townships had 50 families and 36 were settled ac- cording to the grant.

Repeated efforts have been made in the past to drive this point home to those sending boxes to loved oncs at the fighting fronts, and still it is found neces- sary to repeat the warning. No loyal person would endanger mail to the troops overseas, or the lives of those who handle it. But ii is the thoughtless one who may unintentionally cause serious damage-the one who sends along "just a‘ few matches or lighter fluid so securely wrap- ped they could not possibly cause a fire." We have it from the very best authority—from the people who have handled overseas mail for years—there is no safe way to pack inflammable material in the mails. The inclusion of matches or any other inflammable material endangers not only the package containing them, but in the event of fire in the hold of a ship, thous- ands oflmaiibags may be destroyed with their precious comforts from home to the men slug- ging it out with ‘the enemy in the front lines, to the sick and wounded in hospitals, to the men behind the lines.
