Unconvincing The enthusiasm expressed by the Liberal organ for Iivn. J. P. Mclntyre's style of oratory is not shared by all its party supporters. For example, .\lr. \\':trlc Hughes, who offered the following comment in the Legislature after listening to an earlier edition of the same speech reported in \\'edncsday’s Patriot: “There was an old friend of mine who used to tell a story about being down in New Or- leans. Going around one day about the wharves he met an old man and they got into conver- sation. The old man told him he used to preach at different times. although he was not an or- dained minister of any particular denomin- ation. .\ly friend asked him did he not lose the thread of his discourse and he replied that he had no difficulty in that line, because he could always ‘pound the Bible and abuse the Re- publicans.’ Listening to the hon. gentleman last night, I wondered whether he didn't have the slogan, ‘Pottnd the blue-hooks and denounce the Tories.’ . . . “Rut I think." continued Mr. Hughes, “that he was working from an entirely wrong basis. . . The point is, did we do what we undertook, or did we do as well as we could? I don't think it matters, except from a [tnlilfcnl standpoint, what his figures show if they do not show that. If we didn't fulfill our promises. did we do at least as much as we cottld? I DON'T THINK ,\\'l'i Dll)."—l’.'ttriot.

Indeed, it was almost entirely ignored, while a dozen [wages ofiqttotations, utterly irrelevant to the Provinces case, were given from a bricf submitted by Hon. Norman Rogers before the Jones Commission ‘n Nova Scotia. One of the quotations sclcctcdfor inclusion Jr! the Campbell Government's brief was Mr. jfogers’ impcrtittcnt criticism of the Duncan ‘fiptnntission, because, forsootii, it had “failed inquire into the incidence of the Canadian Jill-iii." The reason why the’ Duncan report was Zflbluablc is that its members-and in particular representative front this Province, Dr. Cyrus acmillan~stuck to practical issues, thereby ‘lb take action The Duncan Commission refused Tfb wander into the controversial field of tariff incidence and for that reason it was made the '. butt of criticism by Mr. Rogers, whose com- ments wereilquoted at such tedious length in the Snmvbsll I-iwsrnmwfs brie! that the Icotnpelling the Mackenzie King Government of the Commission, Chief Justice Rowell of On- tario, told the Premier to “skip it", and it was thereupon “taken as read." Had the Campbell Government made as good use of the Duncan Commission report as the Stewart and MacMillan Governments did, they would today have something better than “goose eggs" to show for their efforts. Blank Cheque Legislation Enabling legislation to take advantage of the King Governments farm marketing bill was introduced by the Campbell Government at the last session of the House. It was indeed strange to find this measure eulogized by the same ag- gregation which in 1935 was so rabid in criticis- ing the Conservative marketing act. It was claimed that the Liberal legislation is “something different." This is indeed true, because it is in effect an Act to appoint Agricultural Minister James G. Gardiner Dictator of Canadian Agri- culture. The purport of_ the legislation is to guar- antee fixcd initial prices to primary producers but the effect is to give Mr. Gardiner dictatorial power to make the regulations govering the operation of the Act when it is proclaimed. He is given authority to say where and how the statute shall be applied He is empowered to make regulations prescribing the manner in which the average price of an agricultural pro- duct shall be ascertained. He may, by regulation, establish the proportion of pritnary producers in a geographical area whose, product shall be marketed under a cooperative price. He may, by regulations, decide the proportion of an agri- cultural product in a. designated area which may be marketed cooperatively. It is left with Mr. Gardiner and ltis officials to decide the time and times when any payment subsequent to the initial payment may be made. The Minister is given the authority to extend the Act at his pleasure—and to withhold it. It permits him to set up a bureauacy of officials, clerks and employees at the expense of the tax- payers. Seldom has a Minister of the Crown in Calpada such prerogatives as Mr. Gardiner now as s. 1 Editorial Notes I date, Ill I From now on it will be the Candidates who will work while the farmers listen. i i i The Mackenzie King Government has sud- denly taken cold feet.

Tm: German navy always manoeuvred 1n those waters prior to the Span- “ civil, war, he wrote, and on this occasion informed the ago of its intention to resume its former practice. It is possible, of course, to make a more sinister interpretation of the facts. But even this lnterpretatlon leaves Mar. Bywaters calm still unruffled. The Italian navy as 1t. now exists 1n the Mediterranean, is little more than a nuisance to Great. Brltalxrs fleet there. It could not. survive more than six weeks or vwo months at most. in the event. of a general war. The addltlon of the German fleet would alter the situation, but; not. materially. The facts, he says are fully known to the profes- sional strategists 1n Berlin and Rome. There is nothing new in all thLs, of course. But. since there has been, 1n this country, a growtng tendency to discount British naval might and to accept. as an awful truth the pretended omnipotence of the axis, 1t, Ls well to have the actual situation set. forth ln such simple and understandable terms. 1n the situation, and 1t 1a one that, 1n the event of a long war, grows steadily more important. - Balti- more Sun. Colonel Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, talks like Mussolini when he says the United Stat/es “should make of the Caribbean an American lake." To achieve that. he wants Britain and Fmnce to turn over their West. Indian possessions to the Unit/ed States as payment in full of their indebtedness to Washing-ton. Ap- parently it does not. occur to Colonel Knox that the wishes of the people of these colonies —- no doubt he wants Bermuda, too — should be consulted. Britain does not. sell her people, nor give them sway. and we are quite sure any proposal to transfer tlto loyal West. Indies to the sovereignty of Uncle Sam would arouse a violent storm.
