The Union De- partment of .\_'_{l'lt‘lllllll'€ has had a report from its special observer on conditions in Canada,i who sivs that Canadians regard wine as a stim- i ulant rather than as a beverage. “The largest outlet is for fortified wines of l the poi-t and the sherry types, and these arethe only South _\frican wines listed by the various Liquor littflftlS. Large quantities of wines are made in tl-utatla, but are of an inferior quality, selling at itbout 50c a bottle, while first-class South African wines can be purchased from 75c to 8i a bottle." he states, "Rccentli- (‘ztnatla reduced the import duty on hrtril liipiors, with the result that many peo- ple who bad bonyght wine only for its intoxicat- ing effect can now afford to buy hard liquor," the observer reports. i The iniptirts of brandy, gin, whiskey and ruin t» ("ztnarla all showed increases last year, and even South African brandy exported to Czumila increased from r5000 gallons in I935 to cfinaoit Qiilhlfls in 1036. A Dead Issue in the Winnipeg Free Press, issue of Dec. 2, the report of the Rowell Commission proceed- ings is prefaced ivith the somewhat alarming statement: "Au entirely new Canada. u. Canada composed of five provinces instead of nine, may be one prmible result of the appointment of the Howell Commission on. Dominion - Provincial relations, it was indicated when Premier John Bracken tonk the stand. Thursday morning. "Instead of the present provincial boundaries, the new country would be divided into economic units and have the Maritimes as one province, Otitario and Quebec as two others, the three Prairie Provinces as one, and British C-lumbia. and the Yukon merged into a fifth." Prctnicr Ilracltcn confessed that when he ad- yanced this proposal a few years ago it met pvith no encouragement, and it was only at thc instance of the Commission Chairman, Chief Justice Rowcll of Ontario, that he discussed it on this occasion, The chairman, when Mr. Bracken arose to present the suntmary of Illanitobzfs case, volun- teered thc statement that “it has been represent- ed to us that Canada. with a. population of II,- oooooo people and nine provinces could be ad- ministered ntorc efficiently ivith say five ad- ministrative units, the Maritimcs, Quebec, Oti- tario, the three Prairie Provinces and British Columbia and the Yul-con as one." He then ask- ed for .\lr. llrackctfs opinion. This. in legal parlance, is putting leading qtiestiotis to thc witness; it is indicative of a bias in the qucstioiiefls mind which in this case runs directly counter tn sentiment and opinion in this section of Canada. The Maritime Pro- vinces have shown no indication that they want a. Blaritintc lTuion. Attempts to revise this dead issue are tuatlc front time to time by financial interests in fflutariti. We thought we had heard the last of it when the three Maritime Premiers declared the. scheme to be quite impractable in statements issued at an Ottawa conference a few vears ago, but apparently we arc to he treated in a rehash of this question by the King Gov- ernment's Conituissinti. \Vh:tt purpose is it expected to serve?
