Supt. 3. logo, iindcr authority of the \\'ar Bleasurcs .\ct, (Chapter :06 of the revised Sta- tutes of CZllléltlil, i927). The Act corresponds with the litiicrgcncy Powers Defense .-\ct (i939) in Great Britain. Both .-\cts give the same wide powers lo lllillfl‘ regulations of almost aiiy sort by or<lei>iii~coiiiicil; but iii (ircat Britain more respect has been shown for the Parliamentary system in that. by Sec. 8 of the Act, it is pro- videil that every tirder-in-coiincil containing de- t, . fr-iise regiilatioits shall he laid before Parlia- nient its‘ sttllll as possible.

The chicf guide which the public have re- ceived as to the interpretation 0f the Defense of Canada Regulations is to be found, not in any Dominion publication but. in a memorandum issued about .\'ov_ 25, i939, by the Hon. Gordon Cotiant, .-\ttrirtiey'-tictier;il for Ontario, which was freely quoted and commented on at the time in the press. Approximately 1,000 copies of this tneiiioratirhtm were distributed to the police, mayors and crown attorneys in Ontario. It defined thc powers of the police under the Regulations and the procedure to be taken in prosecuting offenders, and for guidance it gave interpretations of what might be construed as offences. A wider distribution of this memorandum. or better still a Domiiiioti publication dcvotcrl to thc same purpose. would seem to be necessary’. Not only those charged with law enforcement in all thc provinces, but our citizens generally, have a right to this information, which is of vit'al concern at the present time.

Improved Air Service Anticipating a change in air transportation services which might adversely affect this Pro- vince, the Charlottetown Board of Trade has been pressing vigorously tlte need 0f_ at least continuing the present service. In this it has received the co-operation of the Provincial Gov- ernment and the result is that in the new sche- dule which comes into effect on Monday not only is the present service icing maintained, but additional air service to and front Moncton is provided. We are more fortunate in this respect that Halifax and Saint John, where the daily return flights to Moncton are being discontinued. 'I‘l_ie_ Board of Trade was also illstrtttllciitnl in obtaining a reduction in [iasseiiger fares from Charlottetown to hloncton, which will bc 0f great advantage. This is a good illustration of thc value of concerted effort on the part of all concerned. It recalls the late Premier Leas oft-quoted maxim that “it's the wheel that makes the noise that gets the grease.” It marks a good begin- ning for the new year.
