WN, WEDNEDAY, APRIL 27, 1949 Arr Excellent Glrolce King's County Conservatives have on ex- cellent ccndidate for the House of Commons in the person of Ma-jor John A. MacDonald, of Cardigan, vdrose unanimous nomination yester- day is recorded in our news columns. Major Mac- Donald has already served his country well, both in peace and war, having had four years’ ex- perience in the Provincial Legislature as well as a distinguished record overseas. l-n entering the Federal political field, he will be following in the footsteps of his worthy father, the late Senator MacDonald, who before his appointment to the Upper House served several terms in the Commons, and was at one time a minister without portfolio in the Bennett a Government. Tlhe family name is indeed a house- hold’ word throughout King's County and the Province generally, standing for the best tradit- ions in public life as well as in business affairs. ll Ilr. Drew's Programme Speaking in Sydney last week, Hon. George Drew, national Conservative leader, came out un-reservedly for modernizing the C.N.R. system in the Maritimes, as well as for an adequate supply of electric power for these Provinces. He declared that the Canso Bridge project, urgently necessary as it was, did not in itself offer a solu- tion lo the Maritime bottleneck problem, but thalt it formed only one vital feature of a com- prehensive plan of transportation development. This is what was recommended by the House of Commons committee on reconstruction in Janu- ary, 1944, and to its complete implementation the Progressive Conservative leader definitely pledged his party and the Government he antici- pates fanning after the next Parliament is elect- Firet and foremost among the recommen- dations of the Commons committee in i944 was the following: "(oi improvements designed to make communications between Prince Edward ‘Island and the mainland constant, reliable and adequate." Daub-bless this programme will be fully discussed by Mr. Drew when he visits this IProvince during the coming election campaign. Another important feature of his campaign, as announced at Sydney, is Federal assistance for the generating of electric energy from fuel, to provide cheap and abundant light and power supplies to the entire Maritimes. This will mean an equality of opportunity in the entire Mari- times. As Mr. Drew reminded his audience, de- fective transportation services and lock of am- ple electric power account largely for the fail- ure of the Maritime: to keep pace with the van- __ guard march of Canada's economic progress. . The policy he announced should, when carried ’ out, signa-lize a new era of opportunity and economic progress for these three Atlantic Pro- ' vin-ces. That The People M4 Know This from The Journal, Ottawa, speaks with knowledge and experience: The CCF leader, discussing the press of Ca- nada at a Socialist rally in Toronto, was not at his best. He showed, in fact, a degree of con- fusion on the subject not characteristic of a man who of-ten demonstrates a pleasant moderation tn his speech. It is Mr. Coldwell's thesis that there are not enougrh daily newspapers in Canada, and he ‘has the answer at hand: "Monopoly pre- vents the development of new dailies, and the - ‘evolution of capitalism steadily promotes amalga- " motions, suspensions and so on." Freedom of the press, he asserts, is becoming "only a mockery" to "arise and tackle the problem of free expres- sion" so that the will of the people may be made victorious "over the heartless money power of the monopolistic interests." ln an effort to prove his case the Socialist leade made much of the Winni-peg Citizen. which suspended recently after an existence of l3 months. The Citizen, he suggested, foiled be- cause it could not get a notional news service, and this foil-are he attributed to the "vested lrrterast" In those services of the other Winni- peg rllwepopers. Actualy the Citizen was unable to secure one of the two Canadian news services because ithod rrotlhe moneytopay for it. Tho Citizen was launched on insufficient capital, never paid its way, and when its money was gone the paper hod lo quit because nobody would buy it er put up more money. The _"heartless money power" hod nothing to do wrlh rt. “Mr. Caldwell mentioned also the Halifax drroirlcle, merged recently with the Halifax Her- old. ‘lfhe Chronicle, e good old-established news- paper war-sold because lr was losing steadily 0d heavily-Jt hod gone behind by $l.000.°w l" recent edmweereteIrLOnewonderswhotMr. Celdweh would hgve done with the Chronicle, hod ha‘ M‘ ' e newspaper ' ' and mainly vdrlclr renter ndwspaper “M2? ' bprbdlglll. can't e in Canada, and it is time to drop "complacency", = erous suspensions, mergers and omolgomotlons in the past 35 years. Publishers have hod to face o public demand for better papers, vdrich~means more expensive papers, along with kecner and broader competition as means of transport have improved, and out of the struggle have come the ohe-paper "monopoly" cities Mr. Caldwell de- plores.- The Winnipeg Citizen, to revert to that case, hod something o-ver $100,000 of capitol when it was launched. It would have needed at least one or two millions to give it a fighting chance of success. As it was the Citizen could not afford to provide the services modern readers expect, the people bought in preference other papers which could give them what they wanted, and the Citizen foi-led. . We think "a truly free press“ involves the right of a publisher to stop publication when he is losing m-oney, as it involves the ridlt of anyone to start a newspaper if he has some money and wants to take a chance with it. One must infer from Mr. Coldwell's words that he thinks the State should do something in the mat- ter. lf we had a CClF Government in Canada pos- sibly it would have saved the Winnipeg Citizen—- at a cost to the taxpayers of millions of dol- lars. But no press is free when it is operated or subsidized by the State, a-nd the sort of "kept" newspaper Mr. Caldwell seems to con-template would possess neither the confidence nor respect of the people. ll EDITORIAL NOT ES f Political hat: are in the ring. k ‘A’ i There is no getting away from the fact that both our streets and roads arenbodly in need of extensive repairs. O i As it is announced the Prime Minister's cam- paign w-ill be begun in the east, it is not likely another visit fro-m the Leader of the Opposi- tion will be due till the eve of the election. i‘ i i Q Nova Scotia is evidently to combine apple blossom week with a provincial election. Were the election law there as it is here apple blos- som tourists would ru-n the risk of having their holiday spoiled by legal action. Q The m-otler of setting the Federal election date had become almost a war of nerves to which the commencement of hostilities or the announcement of an election brings a feeling of relief along with re-newed activity. i l‘ I I l‘ lt is generally admitted the report of Judge Pottier in the Halifax snowblower probe throws small credit on all concerned. What is to be com- mended is that the judicial inquiry was carried out. i I i Senate appointments cause so much grief that perhaps a move for Senate reform would have th-e backing of even Mr. St. Laurent. Many alternatives are possible, from cp-pointments by Provincial Governments to university representa- tion. U I I ‘Premier J. Walter Jones should be a wel- come guest at the Newfoundland Liberal Conven- tion. lit will be recalled that before the Confed- eration plebiscite he extended to them advice on how to handle the situation at Ottawa on the post-Confederation experience of this Province. I Y I Mc"Gil-l's convocation this spring will be the largest in its history. And ou-t or its 1,900 gradu- ates nearly 800 will be ex-service personnel. This is an impressive reminder that owing to the de- lays of wartime service, these hundreds of young Canadians are only new able to begin their peace- time careers. _ - I U U The Ottawa Journal reports that the Civil Service Commission is commencing several re- search projects o-n impersonal selection. "Work interest" tests w-ill be used to determine whether a person is in a job in which he had "expressed a definite interest." On the eve of an election this is good strategy. I The four members of the Ontario Legislature seeking leadership of the provincial Progressive Conservative Party are Attorney-General Leslie Blackwell, Dana H. Porter, Minister of Education and Provincial Secretary in the present cabinet; A. Kelso Roberts, former member of the Legisla- ture and prominent mining authority; and Leslie M. Frost, Provincial Treasurer and Minister of Mines. U I I The town of Dryden, Ontario, in reviving the powwow for Ontario's Indians may run into con- stitutional difficulties. The proposal to use "beav- er skin" currency at the trading post could come up against the some difficulties as did the Soc- ial Credit dollar of u-nregretted memory. Perhaps Ottawo could be persuaded to authorize the is- sue of beaver skins as a temporary national cur- rency. ~ I U l Edward Gibbon, English historian, born this dole I737.

Simultan- eously, the Yugosl-nvs applied for loans lo the Bank of Arrnerlca and to the Chang Notional Bank. The State Department discreetly od- vlsed the banks that It had no political objections to the loans. Some of the bankers concerned even thought that, far from ob- jecting, the State Department would welcome private financial old to Tlto.
