These were incited to come by the tales of Sandy Williams, who informed them, "that Prince Edward Island was an earthly paradise—that tea grew in the swamps-that all the Indians were christianized, and that the maples yielded sweetness that with o. little trouble could be transformed into whisky."

Carlylek First Love May I tell you the story of Mar- garet Gordon, Lady Bannerman. Carlyles first love, who was born on Prince Edward Island. The first Governor of the British Colony oi St. John's Island was Walter Pat- terson, 1770-1786. He lived at Poi-t La Joie. Here was born a little daughter. Margaret, she remained on the Island after her father's term of govemorship, married Dr. Alex- ander Gordon of the 42nd Regiment stationed in Charlottetown. Three children were bom to them. 1 boy and 3 girls, one was called Mar- garet. The two sisters were sent to Scotland to be brought up by an Aunt. in Kirkcaldy. Margaret was a pupil of the famous Edward Irving and grew to be a maiden not only very learned, but very fair, so that when the young Thomas Carlyle came there, also fls a teacher, he fell deeply in love with her, and ventured to pay her his addresses. She is "Blumine" in "Sartar Resur- tus", But she married Sir Alexan- d8: Banner-man, a. merchant of Aberdeen, and later made Gover- nor of Prince Edward Island, and Just fifty-one years from the time she left Charlottetown, a pennilcss lass. she returned to it again as Governor's Lady with_ all the city illuminated in her honour. Carlyle in his "Remlniscences" tells of their dramatic meeting on horseback at the gate of Hyde Park after tlic lapse of many years, neither spoke: but tradition has it that Margaret Bannerman died with a little again cross on her neck. the gift of Thomas Carlyle. This is Just a little history and tradition of the smallest of Canada's Provinces with such a background. in the words of Sir Andrew MCPhnll "the excellence of the original stock the industry and freedom of their lives. their social system which rc- tained some tincture of gentleness and their religious and educational advantages which fell to their lot" -these characteristics of its people were bound to put Prince Edward Island Ln the forefront as a con- tributor to the Canadian Confed- oration. Island Industries But Prince Edward Island's con- tribution to Confederation or to Canada has not been so much in material things although one may mention industrim known the Do- minion snd world over. There is practically no manufacturing car- ried on there. First, Seed Potatoes, is she not called "Spud Island", and aren't we "Spud Islanders"?

Cable By Guardian's Special Wire) LONDON, July 3—'I‘iie Govern- ment revealed t0day it intends to open negotiations with foreign countries with the objec, or end- ing subsidies for tramp ships. There was no apparent idea, how- ever, of reconvenfng the shipping section of the world economic con- ference. Walter Runciman, President of. the Board of Trade, announced in‘, the House of Commons the govern-I ment will grant a. subsidy to the- tra-mp ship trade of $10,000,000 for. one year. provided the trade works out a system to intensify competit- ion against foreign subsidizedi shipping and guarantees the money. will not be dissipated by domestic competition among British ships. presen Itsiy and Japan are chief countries subsidizing tramps. subsidize tramp shipping. but to a lesser QXLCIIT, and Holland is under- derstanding along the British line. The United States subsidizcs ship- ping heavily but most of the sub- sidy goes to lincrs. The $10,000,000 the government plans to spend on ihe country's tramp ships are roughly the amount by which foreign governments sub- sidim their shipping of that class The pumose of the British sub-, sldy is to strike a blow at the sub-, sidy system generally.

An equal subsidy to British‘ tramps will neutralize the foreign subsidies and thus, it is hoped, lead to realization that subsidized com- petition is unprofitable. The British plan does not touch liners. although Mr. Runciman hinted that measures might have to be taken “iii panicular trades." The Board of Trade President did. not give details, but his reference was understood to be liners run- ning betweerrthe United Kingdom and any of the Dominions or In- Cllil. Liners flying the British flag on such routes are regarded as highly important links in communication between members of the British Commonwealth and foreign efforts —backed by straight, not merely mail, subsidies-lo endanger such communications will be met by counteraction . Mr. Runciman said the Domin- ions iind India would be asked to submit any ideas they may have re. gal-ding cooperalioii in the effort to stamp out tramp ship subsidies. Numerous members of the House of Commons interested in shipping met tonight and voiced stmng dis- approval of the governments pro- posals. They said ilie whole ques- tion was iiiron back on the should- lel-S or the ship-owners who were being asked to negotiate with for- eign countries without being given any bargaining weapon.
