This, while it tends to retard the progress of the debate, is not a matter about which the Government members are worrying, since the policies of the Bennett administration are well able to stand on their own feet, and there is little otherwise for the! Opposition to talk about. Never- theless they should endeavor to avoid 'such glaring misstatements as that the Bennett Governments concern for the farmers and other basic producers is just a "pre-el-i action gesture." The negotiation of the Empire trade agreement; in l932 is sufficient answer to such puerile criticism. More recently, we note that in _ the past five years Canada’s posi- tion in regard to timothy _seed supply has been changed from that of 3.- heavy importer to tlfht of al large producer, with production in 1064. _amounting to almost enough for Canadian needs. This is partic- ularly fortunate at the present time when there are only small supplies available for importation from other countries, owing to their greatly reduced production as a re- lult of drought in 1934. » -Timothy seed production in Can- ada has increased from a few hundred thousand pounds in 1929 to more than five million pounds in i934. The importance of last year-’s Canadian cz-op is not alone because of volume for the price per pound to grower is about 16 cents. This is twice the average pricc for the five years pnvvicus when world pro- duction was normal. This rapid dc- velopment and increase of the tim- othy seed industry in Canada could not have ccmc at a more favour- able time for the seed growers. Even greater production may be expected in Canada this year but there is still ample room for further ex- pansion, as any surplus scnd pro- duced in Canada should find a ready market abroad. Much of the increase in timothy seed production in Canada during the past five years is a result of the organized encouragement of the ln- dustry by thc Dominion Seed Bran;-h in pzoviding the service of field crop inspection and assisting in supervising threshing and the seed cleaning o,i‘.ratLons at central seed cleaning plants. If the Opposition must discuss federal politics from the agricul- tural standpoint, here is an oppor- tunity of showing their sincerity by commending the Bennett adminis- tration for tlv development which the timothy seed industry has made since the Kin; Government went wt of office. THE TRADE UPSWING The Bank of Montreal monthly letter recently cited evidences of' furthe: trade recovery. We quote: “The external trade of the Dom- inion continwrs to rise, reaching a. total value of $l,l66,35'l,816 in the calendar year 1034, a gain of more than $233,000,000. Exports at the end of the year stood at $852,837,228 and imports at $513,470,588, leaving- a favourable balance of $139,416,640. Further increases were recorded in January, and at the end of that mcntll the grand total of Cana.:'ian trade for thc tcn months of the fis- cal year amounted to $997,826,420, compared with $841,813,496. Ex- ports, exclusive of forcl3n merchan- dise, rose from $483,863,021 to $554,656,913 and imports from $352,- 667,450 to $437,196,303. Some appre- hension has been felt over the con- clusion of a new contract between British timber interests and the Soviet Rpublic involving the pur- chase of 400,000 standards of Rus- lian timber, but the Canadian Prime Minister has made the re- assuring statement in the House of Commons that Canadlrs place in the British market in not in jeop- ardy. Trade with Empire countries figured conspicuously in the volume and vallm of last year, with the bal- ance largely in favour of Canada. _ among other items there is an in- lrelse of 52 per cent in Canadian bacon exports to the United»Ki118- , _‘m_., _ snlronzlii. worms fbr`i‘l.l§1 for kent on lhrlry 'rnorntowa investigation of Hon.

Like most newspopersof its age and period, the 1-fera1d_ had a rough and troublous passage in its earlier years, but the urlconquerable spirit and determination of the late Ben- ator William Dennis, (with whom was associated later the present en- terprising Senator of the same name-a nephew.) succeeded in bringing it to the forefront as om of Canada’5 outstanding provincial dailies. Mr. Wesley Frost when he was here as U.S.A. Consul was an optlm- I ist, and did more than any other single individual to put tier: Fox Industry on the American map. He is still an optimist. As U.S. Consul General at Montreal he addressed, a meeting on “The Last Fifteen Wonderful Years," in which he ex- uclnd optimism, concluding: "Optim- ism should not be based on faith but on information," he concluded. "I do not plead for confidence on grounds of piety and sentiment, but if the facts at which we have servations made an: sound, then _confidence is sensible and natural. So far from being in the trough of the wave, we are riding a. great tidal swell whose surface is a. bit cut up by gusts and squalls." Hon. Dr. Manion had a sly hit at ultra-pacificlsts when hc remarked ironically in the House the other day: "I am sure all nations are trembling as to what we shall do with this great militia power of ours.” This had reference to the fol ,lowing retum brought down show |ing the cost per road in various countries for defence purposes: Canada, $1.24; New Zealand, $1.50; Denmark, $2.18; South Africa. $2.20: Australia. $2.40; Japan. $3.70; Bel- gium, $4.10; United States, $5.60; Switzerland, $6.00; Italy, $8.00; Great Britain and Northern Ire- land, $9.50; France, $14.80. Canada is the lovwst in thc world. Even though it must be centuries since she was at war. An Ottawa correspondent writes that parliamentary observers, cn- tirely irrespective of their party views, agree that no circumstance has ever done more to endow the personality of Premier R. B. Ben- nett with the quality of high drama than his present illness. As day after day passes and still the hoped- for-recovery is postponed, the ex- tent to which the Federal prime minister bestrides the stage of pub- lic events--and the emptiness of that stage without him-becomes increasingly apparent. ffnhappily as me olrcumnam mel: u, 'mo sim- glanced are accurate, and the ob-‘ Notes By The Way Combined with the issue of the white paper that caused Hitler to ir contract a diplomatic cold an postpone conversations with 8 John Simon. and meaning of this British rearmament ig evidently not entirely lost on Germany.

As a loyal son of Prince Edward Island, I feel moved to make some 'comments on this plan. If Sunday observance is of divine origin, why not send the petitions to the throne - of God? Is it not a strange spec- tacle for ministers of the E05P¢l to be petitioning the civil authorities to enforce religious dogmas on the people? While I am a firm believer in the Sabbath, I do not feel it is right or Christian to enforce my views on others by the power of civil govem- ment. Men 'cannot be made religi- ous by law. 'I‘hey must be convinc- ed of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God. Clcrgymen should take their Bibles and show where God has sanctified Sunday, and ap- peal to the conscience of men rather than attempt to coerce them by the use of police power. Religion is never benefltedby ap- proaching to the civil arm for leac- ing men to respect religious institu- tions. There is .no power that equals the power of Gcd's Word, so let it be used if any evidence can be found to support Sunday sacredneaa. I am, Sir, etc., MALCOLM NEIL CAMPBELL Winnipeg, Men., March ll, 1935. A LIBERAL PRDTESTS Sir,-Prince Edward Island, the garden province of our fair Do- minion, where prohibition laws reign supreme, where bootleggers struggle along to make a living, where there is no great fortune to be made at it. Seventy-five percent of the boot- leggera are in it, not from choice, but through necessity tc make a living for their families, and would be working if a job was avaliable; and-as soon as good times retum. they will retum to work. The wholesalers are no longer making the huge profits they did six or seven years ago, when they got as high as twenty-five dollars per gal- lon in the winter months. They would not bother taking the chnncc they do, if it was not for the living they are getting. Fifty percent of the rum which was bought last fall was bought on credit, and I know what I am writing about. I cannot see why there should be a political , issue made of prohibition laws, and why our clergymen should be pas- sing their judgment on something they know nothing about. I will en- deavour to point out to these same gentlemen that the prohibition laws are enforced to a greater extant by the present Mounted Police than ever before. We will go back to five years ago, when ships would hover off the three-mile limit for days and our fishermen could make contact while hauling their trawls during the daylight and would bring their load ashore without fear before the eyes of others. That does not 11ap~ pen today along our shores. Why? Because the Mounted Police cannot be fixed like it was possible under the Provincial Police. Now, I do not claim it was possible to bribe all the old force. but I know some could and were bought. I have more res- pect.for the Mounted Police, yet they have been a thorn in my side ever since they came to this P10- vince. But I know I am not slhsléd out, because I am small fry, and mn not pay for protection. The Hon. B. W. LePage, on the floor or the House a fe\'_days B80 stated there was 15,000 glnlons land- ed on our shores. 1 am sure M12 LePagc is sincere in his belief. But he has his information from parties who know nothing about it. In Klng's County there are sbt whole- salers who do not buy over 12,000 gallons a year, and the last two years they have been sole S\lPl>1Y- Last year there was practically 1\° rum in Prince County. bil “lib I mean there was no supply. I admli that rum found its 'way in Summer- side by different ways durlni! “W winter, but to blame the Mounted Police because it got there_is un- iust, because they could not watch all roads in dead or winter between Charlottetown and Summerside. when there are so man!! WHY! °f transferring. Bummerside’s supply this year is very °°°1\t¥- Whf? Because they cannot go to the nun- runncr when they please as ol lr'°l'¢~ Queens County has less rum this winter then ever before. There are at present three wholesalers in the vicinity of Charlottetown, where you can buy rum by the keg, and they are the chief source of supply for Charlottetown. For sake of argu- ment, you will esk how I know that this is all the rum that has been landed. Now, I’ll try to show you that the old way of smuggling has been hampered by the Mounted Police. Under the old system the mm vuaels hovered off the three mile limit, but s\nce'the event of R. C. M. P. and R. C. M. P. .narlne corp, and R.. C.. M. P. air corp, fitted with wireless, both the boats and airplanes, they know during the da! where every ship is within fifteen miles off shore. They are spotted by thc air force, which notifies the marine department, and they lm* mediateiy sail for position given.. They then notify the land patrol, so that the whole system works to- gether makinl it imperative rum vessels stay off shore 30 to 46 miles until they can llll in after dark to a location priarranged. _ _ __ all than nsula sto their bum hrhlllh IU Ill!!
