I953 ”Abegweit" In The Limelight "She might look like a Luxury Liner and steer like a Yacht but She's the Toughest Boat Afloat," is the arresting heading of a feature article in the latest issue of Mac- iean's Magazine. The article. by David MacDonald. is all about our sev-:-n million dollar car ferry ”Abcgwcit". A superficial account of the circumstances connected with the tieup of the ”Abegweit" during the railway strike of 1950 is given by way of introduction; but in the main the article accurately describes the big boat's advantages and importance to the Island, and gives many facts and figures familiar to Prince Edward Islanders but well worth publicizing across Canada in ,connection with our winter tranz-'po1'tation history. The writer does not make the mistake committed in an official Government an- nouncement some time ago, of referring to the "Abcgweit" as being 0Wn6i1 i3.V the Canadian National Railway. I-le correctly states that she is owned by the Federal somewhat 1 Speech serves little purpose. it is different with that on the budget. The latter is im- portant, because it deals with taxation and other business that affects everybody, and a lengthy discussion is fully justifiable. it usually runs a month and the opinion is this could not be shortened in view of the heavy budgetary matter presented for con- sideration and action. From among the many other possible ways for saving time which have been dis- cussed in the past, Mr. Jefferies envisions the possibility of some being put. into ef- fect this session. These include a commit- tee to pass on the estimates of expendi- tures and a reduction in the number of stages required to pass a bill. In the case of legislation providing for the outlay of public money, there are five different stages and often there is lengthy debate on stages should be treated as formalities. Fine Family Tradition The late Mr. A. E. Duchemin came of a family long associated with the industrial life of Charlottetown and this Province. The firm of A. Duchcmin and Company, of which he was the junior partner, was founded by his grandfather, Mr. Watson Duchemin. to whose inventive genius fre- quent references have appeared in our "Old Charlottetown" column. Among other things, Mr. Watson Duche- lnin was inventor of the'ball-bearing prin- ciple which plays such an important part in mechanization of all kinds today. He was also the inventor of the Compartment at least four of them.

Reference to this important mailer W011” have added materially to the value of the magazine article. streamlining Parliament The subject of "streamlining" the House. of Commons so thatthe sessional agenda will be cleared with business-like dispatch has again been engaging attention. parliamentary observer for -the Windsor Star, Maurice Jefferies, has been doing some analytical work on the problem and has adduced what to many persons will be quite a surprising revelation-that 55108 of the taxpayers money could be saved every minute if members of the Commons would stop wasting time during debates, discus- sions and in putting unnecessary questions. The' estimate of cost of an average sit- ting of the Commons is given by Mr. Jeff- eries as 3340.000 of the public funds. which works out at about 536,500 an hour or 38108 per minute. That gives some idea of what time-wasting in the conduct of public af- fairs can cost the nation. It is citedthat the greatest avenue of all for economy of speech is the opening debate on the Throne Speech. Often this debate lasts four to five weeks. After the first few days it usually lags. For the most part it is strictly a partisan, affair in praise or in criticism of the Government. Among the most: time-wasting presentations are those speeches made purely for the purpose of hnhringpcoples of the official proceedings off to distribute -to the constituents bsck home.

Jakob Ludwig Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, German composer, died this date 1847. He enjoyed the greatest advantages of wealth. culture and brilliant social connections which, together with a remarkable capacity for work and undoubted genius. brought him early success. He travelled widely and conducted many famous orchestras. He died, however, before the age of forty. The very popularity of his music has been the chief grounds for criticism, particular- ly as his relatively inferior worksypiano solos and songs, are most. frequently heard. Liquor profits to the various Provinces as compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for the year ending last March 21st were as follows: Newfoundland, 51,- 745,000; Prince Edward Island, s865,000; Nova Scotla, f8,770,000; New Brunswick, 56,368,000; Qlubec, 521,500,000; Ontario, 330,550,000; -mnltoba, 56,350,000; Sask- atchewan, 59,950,000; Alberta, 513,360,000; and British Columbia, 521,805,000.

Dec. 8, 1875: It is now asserted. on good authority. that there is no truth in the report that the "Northern Light." is to be sent to Cape Traverse. It is said tbst she is only to be sent there when she falls on the Georgetown-Plctou route, and that she will begin to run as soon as the other steam- ers stop. At the opening of the County Court at Albcrton, Judge Thomas Kelly was presented with an address, welcoming him on this, his first visit to the first Circuit of the County Court for Prince County, and expressing pleasure with the choice the Dominion Government made in selecting a gentlcrnsn so well known to sit as successor to the late lamented Judge Pope. - We sra plesscd to note that the Department at Ottawa has decided upon opening s Post Of- flcc st Byrns's Rood.

It is this break-down of the normal machinery of diplomacy which drives us to the conference as the only available method of discussing "problems of common interest”. It is not in good method. It has many disadvantages. Con- ferences tnko place under I lrpnt light nf public attention. Time is hnrhoodn deserve their full share of postal accommodation. People have been grumbling of late that they had no place of amusement-to go to. To those we would say, go to St. Paul's School-room on Thursday evening, nnd hear the orchestral club can- about the end as well as about the means. 0 The purpose of the conference is set. out in article 60 of the Armistice Agreement. It is "to settle through negotiations the questions of the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Korea, the peaceful settlement of the Korean question. etc.” The meaning of "etc." will no doubt be argued in the conference itself, The with- drawal of foreign forces would follow niimost automatically if there can be a "peaceful settle- lment of the Korean question”. This is the really? crucial ques- tion. And its difficulty can be neither ignored nor disguised. The purpose of that United Na- tions representatives is surely clear enought. It can only be the punpose described in the Allied declaration of December, 1945, as "the re-establishment; of Korea as an Iindbpendent. state on demo- cutie principles". For which the obvious pre-conditions would be the withdrawal of the foreign forces and the holding of free all-Korean elections. 0 O I But though Russia was a party to the 1945 declaration, will the Communist: Governments be likely to agree to any such procedure? The German pnrnliel is not it hopeful one.
