Ruling lt is not likely that the Summerside Board of Trade is unduly discouraged by the unfavor- able ruling of the Board of Transport Com- missioners as to its claims for material reduc- tion of truck rates on the iiordenlTormentine ferry. Actually, the rates for loaded trucks have been reduced from $6130 to $5.00, but the moin point at issue, namely that the ferry "i should be regarded as an integral port of the trans-Canada highway as for as trucks are concerned, was ignored by the Commission. AI the hearing in Charlottetown last .luiy, Chief Commissioner Cross agreed with railway counsel that our basic transportation claims were a matter between the Province and the Do- minion, ond that its own jurisdiction was con- fincd ta the Railway Act and the Maritime Freight Rates Act. "There seems to be a good deal involved outside our sphere," the Chief Commissioner said at that time. "So far as we are concerned we are going to confin-e ourselves to our jurisdiction. But that does not prevent you from putting forward these other matters." lt was the Dominion Government which in- sisted that this case should go before the Transport Commission, and the Summerside Board of Trade had no other choice, notwith- standing that the question of lack of jurisdic- _ tion was conceded from the start. The only ad- "'f vantage gained has been to get in evidence ' some very strong arguments in support of the. island's claim that interprovincial ferries are notional highways under the terms of Confeder- ation. As we suggested prior to the Commission sitting in Charlottetown, the Provincial Gov- ernment should hove protested against this far- cical hearing in the first"'pld\e, and demanded a showdown from the Departrlcnt of Transport at Ottawa, which is responsible. lt.will now have to take some such action, unless it wants the case to go by default. This point was very neatly mode at the Commission hearing by the C. N. R. counsel, Mr. Dysart, in discussion with Hon. Horace y V/right. We quot-e: 'I Mr. Dysart: "What would be your react- ion as a member of the Provincial Government and c farmer, if, as a result of the decrease in the truck rates and the resulting increase in tie number of trucks which had to be handled, the rail service on the cor ferry was restricted?" Hon. Mr. Wright: "We have rights as a Province under the British North America Act, and the Fcderal Government is under obliga- . lion to carry our produce. if this ferry is not sufficient it is our right to expect the Gcvern- ment to give us another ferry." Mr. Dysart: "l am not quarreling with you regarding the rights of the Province, but l. sug- gest that our duty is operation of the railway. lf as a result of on increase in truck traffic the number of railway cars that could be hand- led were decreased, would that be of benefit to the Province?" Hon. Mr. Wright: "That question shouldn't be taken into consideration at all, because it the car ferry were unable to handle the busi- ness offcred, then it would be up to the Gov- ernment to give us another." . y Mr. Dysart: "l don't want to quarrel with you at all on that, but under the circumstances that exist here, if that situation pertains, would you say it would be in the public interest that these rates should be reduced?" y Hon. Mr, Wright: "We are expecting a new car ferry very shortly, with increased ac- commodation both for automobile trucks and railway cars. We also have our old ferry which would be available; so l rcally do not think that the question asked is very pertinent." The Chairmen: "You claim that the peo- ple of the island have the right to ship out and bring in their produce by such means of trans- pm-rqgiqn n; may be available; which includes railway shipment, motor trucks, and of course air transport. lt is not enough to provide ode-I quote m:ons of transportation by rail alone? Hon. Mr. Wright: "No. We consider the Ferry a trans-Canada highway. ‘We 0Y9‘ 9X‘ pecting that the trans-Canlodo highway will be continued to this Province- Mr. Dysart: "That stri v question which lies between the Province of Prince Edward lsland and the Government 0f Canada rather than this Board. if the rfllei are such that they bear unduly "P0" ""9 PF°lfle of the lsland, then it is the dutY ‘if the P'°""cf°' Government to get a better arrangement wit . o I the Dominion Government.’ Secretlve Procedure Last week the National Liberal Federation representative delegates assembled from oll parts oftlio Dominion. By way of greeting to the laity Prim-a Minister King urged them’ to puss resolutions giving "guidance and help to flu party members in Parliament. "This gathering (said Mr. King) ‘has brought together tlidso two groups, the party in the coun- try and the party in Parliament. Arid may l “y, as one who belongs to the party in Parlia- mutt, it is tho party in the country to whom Parliament" must look for its guidan s and pro- W. iiiraopcrisc to Mr.’ King's request for guid- l of them, according to press reports.

There were] dorsed after careful consideration. Apparently, however, the proposals of tho "party in the country" were not acceptable to the "party in Parliament." lt has been announced that the contents of the resolutions will not be made pub- lic until some future data. "There need be no speculation as to the reason for this strange and secretive procedure," so): the Globe and Mail. "The resolutions will be redrafted and made over to fit Government policy before being exhibited to the public. Ex- acfly the some procedure was foilowedat the meeting of the Federation prior to the last Gen- eral Election. Then also resolutions were ap- proved, but when they finally turned up in book- let form they must have made strange reading, especially to their sponsors." Fliio Insurance Pulillclty~ Current and recent advertisements ploccd by the Life Insurance Companies of Canada through the Canadian Life insurance Officers As.ociation are indflcative of the faith these great organizations have in the value of the do ly newspapers as media for publicity. ln an attractive portfolio just off the press, the Mac- Loren Advertising Company, Ltd., of Toronto, state that the daily press has been the back- bone of this institutional advertising campaign for the post twenty-six years—and will continue to be so in the future. The advertisements rc- prcduccd in the portfolio will put budgeting for the future in the forefront of family financ- ing, a theme never before given such promin- ence in life insurance publicity. Unusual art- wo'k, a fnesh layout style, and more definitely educational copy are being used. Each advcr TlSPlTIEfll’ is complete in itself, dealing compre- hensively with one particular phase of life in- suronce. The Company announces that a new series of ads is now in course of preparation which will soon be released for publication in The Guardian. — EDIIURIAL NUIIIS - The skirl o’ the pipes, and the hoots and "svreeper-ups" of the curlers are making the raft- ers ring in Rink and Forum alike.

The rather unusual picture at the Prince Edward belongs to the cotgory known as prob- lem plays. it sets out to prove, and does so'in o ‘ound-about way, that nothing is done until it is done right. in matrimony, what counts is nor jazz and dazzle, but character and respect -—-aven if it appear severe. ' i‘ O All the Transport Commissioners concede in their judgment on Summerside's submission on Car Ferry rates is that they "do not consider it has been clearly shown that the development of trade between Prince Edward lsland and the mainland has been restricted" by the current fre'ght rates. Of course, a clearer way would be to reduce the rates and provide the facilities, than it would be demonstrated beyond question l'iI(~I there is positive and harmful restriction. Until the powers-that-be at Ottawa recognize the Car Ferry as part of the Canadian highway we will suffer a grievance and be prejudiced in - our rights to internal Dominion free trade. v. a Yesterday's largely attended and enthusi- astic Progressive Conservative convention for Charlottetown and Royalty is a sign of the times. lt was regrettable that Mr. W. A. Stew- art, owing to ill health, declined to allow his no ne to go forward as one of the candidates, but Hon. Dr. MacMillan has associated with him in Major D. L. Mathieson a young and prom- ising colleague, with an unexcelled political background and a fine record of war service overseas. The two will make an excellent team to work in the interests of the District, the County and the Province generally. ‘ V! 1r ‘A’ "k 1r w According to the Canadian Press Mr. John Bracken, who would like to occupy Prime Min- ister Mackenzie King's scat, tried it out for site this week. When on afternoon session of the» Commons opened, the galleries saw the Pro- grissive Conservative chief comfortably on- isccned in the government leader's choir, chat- lting with External Affairs Minister St. Laurent. lAt this point, there entered Prime Minister King, {who had promised earlier in the session that none lof Iiis opposition leaders would occupy his spot lfor some time to come. Amiably, he waved Mr. y‘ Bracken to remain in the choir.- But the opposi- lil0lt head lost no time retreating to the more 'fainiliar atmosphere of the speaker's left. . . .. .. Massacre of Glencoe, this date i692 when ,Campbells took unfair advantage of Macdon- aicls, and played havoc with them. The princi- pa} circumstances in this atrocious deed are as ‘follows: The Government of William and Mary were very anxious to promote peace in the High-- i lands. A proclamation was therefore issued, of- ,fering pardon to all rebels who should give in [their submission before the 31st of December [I60]. Mac lap, the chief of the Macdonalds ‘of Glencoe, through an error, was too late; yet l he obtained a written pardon. it is said-though it has been denied-that the fact of his having . taken the oath of allegiance was suppressed by ‘Sir John Dolryrnple, afterwards Earl of Stair. Be this as it may, the King's signature was obtained {to an order directing the commander of the forces to "extirpato that set of thieves, the Mocdonolds." On the lst of February I692, I20 soldiers, mostly Compbells, the hereditary enemies of the Mardonolds, entered Glencoe under the command ol Lieut. Campbell of Glen Lyon. They were quartered on the inhabi- tants, with whom they dwelt under a false shadow of friendship for twelve days. The morn- ing of rln l3tli had been fixed for the massacre, but owing to Lieut. Col. Hamilton having failed to occupy the passes, about 300 man and wo- lmcn escaped, to die, however, in mpst cases, from cold and hunger. Thirty-eight man, wo- lmen and children were butclrired in cold blood, jlllllil’ liuts burned to the ground, and their lflQCltS driven away.
