THURSDAY, JANUARY, 3, 1910 An Island Institution As announced elsewhere in today‘s issue, the firm of llyutliiiaii and Company, Ltd., is this year celebrating its seventy-fifth annivers- ary. The well deserved reputation eniovcd by ~ this local firm, both at lionic and abroad. is an example of Prince l§dwarrl Island enterprise and tradition at its best. It has remained large- ly a family institution, the present president. Mr. J. O. Ilyndfnan. having been with the firm for tlie past half century. Started in i872 as a marine insurance agency. it now handles all kinds of insurance but still specializes lll mar- ine insurance and is Lloyd's agent for Prince Edward lSlitllCl. Throughout tlic years, the firm has set a high standaid of business integrity. and has been associated ycry‘ closely with such progress as we have inade as a Province iii transportation and other vititters. All our citizens will ioin in ~wishing it continued success, and many years of further progress and (levelopment. Food Subsidies To Cosumers It is being argued that should the Gov- ernment contemplate any drastic change in the food subsidy systeiu——which ensured relatively cheap food and especially cheap dairy products for Canadians during the war — the change should be made now while family purchasing power is at a fairly high level. Otherwise, say the farmers, the public should be made aware by every means possible that the Government is paying a share nf their food bill and all such pay- ments should frankly be labelled as “consumer iubsidies” and not hidden as payments to the original producers. ' There is much to be said for this argu- ment, says the Ottawa Journal. If this subsid- izing of focd continues much longer the pub- lic. more and more will come to take present pricei as true values and the farmer stands in danger of becoming a permauenfly-subsidized citizen within the Canadian community. In mall)’ respects this is not an enviable position for him, especially when labor is asking for higher pay for fewer hours of work and when the former cost-of-living bonus has been madg l part of the wage structure. Naturally the farmer fears any sudden dropping of the subsidies, mainly because he does not believe the public know they arebeing paid or are prepared t0 pay the higher prices which would come into effect immediately. It is difficult to figure hdw much has been paid out by the Dominion to keep the cost of liv- mg down and give Canadians cheap food, as many of the subsidies are hidden in such in- direct payments as assistance on feed grain brought from the west. But it has cost at least $900,000,000 during the war to give the public cheap milk and dairy products alone. That's a 13116 511m but without the subsidy and without price control the total paid by consumers would have been very much larger. Any idea that these subsidies could be drop- ped and the prices of dairy products remain at their present level would be wishful thinking. It might be possible if costs of manufactured goods were to drop but tlie tendency is all in the other direction. Prices might be frozen at present levels but that would almost certainly cause such a drop in production that a chaotic condition would soon emerge. On the other hand if prices were suddenly to increase by the amounts of the subsidies — milk by over three cents a quart, butter by about eight cents. bread l-y about two cents a loaf —— every housewife lll Canada ivould be up iii arms. It is one of the most difficult situations- lacing the Govern- ment today and in the meantime the farmers and food industry stand on the sidelines with plenty to worry about. Big Step In Education Forty-four members of the United N“ have agreed to establish a world-wide educa- tional organization (lcsigiicd to improve cul- tural standards everywhere. livery maior coun- try except the Soviet Union has approved the formation of the new agency to be known as the United Natinn. Eiliication, Scientific and Cul- tural Organizations. As a result, education is for the fiist time tn receive an international base. Nothing so comprehensive 0r far-reach- ing has ever before been attempted. i The constitution sets forth several ex- ‘ treiuelv vital piiiiciplcs. Stress is placed on the importance cf removing illiteracy and misunder- standing. Only by (levelopitig a common faith Ind confidence. the historic document holds, can world peace be attained» In its preamble, the educational charter proclaims t-he laudable doctrine that a wide diffusion of culture and the education of men for justice and peace con- stitute a sacred duty that all nations must ful- fll in a spirit of mutual assistance and concern. Emphasis is placed on the value of intema- tionil exchange along many lines. It is propos- llf that a far wider exchange of scholars and ‘flashers take place and that books and other ctlilcetionsl materials likewise be sent to all countries. ffliis implies freetlom from censor- lltln for alLmola "media of communication.

Scientific research ia to be encouraged, as is the study of cultural problems relating to peace. In every possible way the international body will “advance the ideal of equality of edu- cational opportunity." Basically, its constitu- tion holds ieal promise of the nations of the world being able to work together to improve, at least, the cultural life of the people. -l:Dl IURIAL NOI [ES- Next local excitement will be over the civic election. a a- w- a One noted change in the new year was the return of both men and women to “evening wear" for social celebrations.

The trio had hoped to be able to enter Russia but they said they did not expect to be granted visas for the trip. They arrived at Oldenburg in the Canadian Occupa- tion Z0ne of Germany December 23, then trav- elled through Hanover to Berlin. There they saw the Reichstag and the ruins of the Chan- cellery. 4- =- n- a- Extravagant ship-building. Senator C. C. Ballantyne, acting Progressive Conservative leader in the Senate, recently urged that the gov- ernment cancel its contracts to build Tribal des- troyers in Halifax. While he did not pose a; an authority on naval construction, he said when he was a member of the Montreal Harbor Commission “many years ago” he had accom- panied the late Hon. L. P. Brodeur, then mem- ber of the Liberal government, to England, where the question of building such naval ships in Canada was surveyed. It was agreed the cost would be too great. During the present session, the Senator said, Mr. W. G. Mills, deputy naval minister, had said that after four years one of the Tribal destroyers built in Canada was now in commission at a. cost of $6,000,000. The same type nf destroyer, according fo the deputy minister, could have been built in the United Kingdom for $3,500,000, i i F Ill _Our progress in peace resumption plans is evident in the further reductions in war risk rates on ocean cargoes announced by the Can- adian War Risk Committee, representing pri- vate underwriting firms in the Dominion.

Rumours from Ottawa, that Price and other controls are to be greatly RlAXCd- after the New Year, unfortunately represent no real alteration in Government policy, but merely an unwilling concession to the rising pressure of public opinion.
