A lttle cooler but more enjoyable
Interest of rlflemen is now cent
on Ottawa
The airmen were delighted with
their visit and wish tc come again.
Counting our blessings is much
more profitable than nursing our
ievances
A visitor from T0'Nntc said he
had more enjoyable, refreshing
sleep in the Queen Hotel here than
ywhere in his travels. `
This day week the Provincial
hibition will be open, and we will
looking forward to the arrival
of the Jacques Cartier delegation.
Preparations should now be made
for buntlng and flag-flying.
The good news that the auto
fares on the Car lilerry have been
reduced to $2 single and $3 return
will be appreciated by none more
sincerely than visitors for the Pro-
vincial Exhibition and Jacques Car-
tier celebration.
It is appropriate that Hon. Alfred
Duranleau, Minister of Marine,
should extend to the Jacques Car-
tier delegation the official welcome
to Canada. He will be able to in-
spect the newly :repaired wharf ot
the same time.
A correspondent' suggests that
while the examination of the report
of the Duncan Commission will be
the chief work of the new Maritime
Commission, it should be empow-
ered to inquire into everything that
has arisen between the provinces
and the Federal Government dur-
ing the last eight years, and that
the draft defining the powers of
the Commission should be submit-
ted to the respective govemments
for approval.
The doyen of, Canadian editors,
Mr. John Redpath Dougall, M.A.
LI...D. will be ninety-three on Fri-
day. Although long past the allot-
ted span Mr. Dougall has been
writing editorials and supervising
his well known paper, the Montreal
Witness, up till the end of June.
A year or two ago on being asked
by the Canadian Press for a birth-
day message, he replied simply:
“Tell them to 'Seek first the King-
dom of God and all these things
shall be addedunto you."‘ May he
be spared to see yet another anni-
versary.
Everybody is agreed that the
Potato Growers Association is as-
sentlal to the success of the seed
growing industry, and now that its
financial troubles have been fully
ventilated and the policy and man-
agement unanimously endorsed, the

with their development operations

opposed to this wholesale slaughter

this alternative; First, an effort
should be made to ascertain as

an attempt to arrange purchase of

price. It is figured the govemment

from an officer. a. friend of his, who
had been present at a private dinner
g'ven the previous evening to the
Imperial Commission at one of the
Montreal clubs. This officer testi-
fied that the chairman had talked
most freely about their recommen-
dst'ons.
I realized that the officer had
been guility of a gross breach of club
etiquet in divulging what had taken
place at a. private function, but as
the news was going to be published
in the press of Montreal anyway I
felt justified in sending it to The
Timm..
Later' lihere were “wigs on the

Renervol received o tort note from
the War Office felling him to look

About ten days later nxv message
appeared in The Timm I recieved
a po1'te invitation frorri Colonel
Inks. by telephone, to come up in
the Parliament Buildings to meet
the members of the Defence Oom-
mlsiorl. At once I had visions of
u fine newspaper- scoop.
When I reached the room which
the Commissioners were nocupylnk
I was ushered into the presence cf
the trinity by Colonel Lake. There
were no introductions. The Little
Gefielal was standing at the head
of the table, the other two officers
to the right and left of him. A copy
of The London Times was spread
open in front of the chalrrnan.
When I entered the room I said
"Good mom`ng, gentlemen."
Nc response. Pointing to The
Times. the chairman shouted at me.
as if he were giving a word of com-
mand on the parade ground: "Did
you send this?"
It is said of newspaper men that
they fear neither man nor devil.
The tone of my questioner d'd not
fluster me. on the oontarv I was
somewhaib irritated. Inshead of
answering I quietly remarked.
“Pardon me: but I would like to
know who is addressing me."
My iriterrogator nearly dropped in
his tracks; such lnsolence was posi-
tively unpardonable.
"I am Generali-." he I0-
pl'ed, “chalrrnan of the Defence
Commission."
I bowed. Then I said. "I know
Colonel Lake. but who are these
other gentlemen "
'I‘hc`dhairman looked daggers at
me and replied. "This is colonel

Again I bowed and expressed my
pleasure at meeting them. "And

Sir,-The local Press in reporting
the annual meeting of the P. E.`

that meeting urging the Minister
of Agriculture to approve of a,
scheme for the marketing of the
potatoes of this Province. i

there would be no criticism. But
it does not. It must be well known
to the originators of that resolution
that under the Natural Products
Marketing Act. 1934 it is enacted
that where a scheme for the mar-
keting of any controlable Product
is submitted to the Minister of Ag-
riculture by it substantial majority
of those involved and receives the
approval of the Minister. then it
becomes law and everyone within
the area of the schemes operation
becomes bound hand and foot by
it. In view of this fact lt
is almost unbelieveable that a
private meeting of a special
faction representing but a fraction
of the potato industry should be
used in an attempt to force a se-
cret scheme an the whoie of this
known to any but a handful This
secret scheme may be wonderful or
it may be otherwise, it may give
everyone an equal consideration or
it may be selfisllly planned in the
peculiar interests of the P, E, 1,
Growers Association and against
the best interests of the industiy
at large. Nobody knows, but we all
have a rlcht to know and the very
nature of its conception and in-
troduction induces slcerptlclsm. Our

Bridges We Never
Cross
(Ottawa Joumall
One of the worst afflictions od
most of us is our propensity to
cross bridges before we come to
them. Always we are oonjurlng up
some desperate thing ahead, some
disaster ol- danger from which, as
we see ii. in our fear, there is no
escape. Experience may have taught
us that nine times out of ten these
disasters are never reached, but it
doesn't matter. Fear, like a lot od
other evils, knows little of logic, is
immune from common sense. So
year after year, and all through our
lives. we spend hours and days
worrying about what is in be, about
something we feel certain will en-
gulf us later on.
Illustrative of this is the story of
the Dominion Government’s trans-
actions in wheat. For two years or
more the Government has been
buying wheat, or having an agent
buy it with the Gm/e'mment's cred-
it. The experts all said it was dis-
astrous. We should go on buying
