I'll-D». ll to be commanded upon the shall!!!- (cward answer he has liven to the propaganda ior Maritime Union which has been alltated persistent)! in some sections oi Canada. A rncm- ber of the Duncan Oommifinn which investiaated the wcibilitiss olthisscherns and ioundittobeoi no practical value, Dr. Macmillan speaks with authority when he qya that such a merger would not be ac- ceptable to the people oi these Pro- vinces, that the alleged ldVlm-llfl are entirely prohlematicai, and that it would in eiiect mean the undoing oi the work oi the Fathers oi 0on- iederation. ‘This has been the attit- ude consistently maintained by The Guardian, and we are pleased to ncte that our local contemporary. on two or three occasions recently, has given expression to the same opinion. We welcome our contem- porarya conversion the more as it seemed inclined, a year ago. to sup- port the arguments advanced at a service club iunction for reconsid- eration o! the Maritime Union ques- tion on the pretext oi economy. As The Guardian emphasized at that time, no such onside muun is ne- cessary or advisable, the issue being _ entirely outside the sphere oi prac- tical politics. 8o long. oi course, as the Bennett Government is in power at Ottawa. there is no need to tear that Mari- time Union will be any-thing but a subiect ior academic debate. The Prime Minister made this clear when he stated, a iew weeks ago in llnntreal, that to force upm the smaller Provinces a union they did not seek nofdesire “would be to break the whole iabric oi Conicd- cation" Had w. Mackenzie King when in ctilce spoken out in this fashion, the sirspieinn sn- tertained that he favoured the pro- Jed would not have arisen; and our local contemporary would doubtless have been able to give earlier mid more timely expression to its editqw- ial mind. SIGNS OI‘ THE TIMES The returns from tur iarming, including both live ioxes and pelts, in Prince Edward Island are esti- mated at $2,500,000 in 1933, says the February news letters oi the Bank of Montreal. The letter ll highly optilnbtio in tone. It finds a continued rise in the trade baro- meter. “There is," it says, "a grow- ing conviction that business is mtering into better times, gradual though the recovery be, and this - ‘dmce aids in reaching the de- sired end. There is less unemploy- ment. Factories are extending their collation; cloud mills are being re-wcned. Consumption oi hydro- poww increases. hreign exchange b more stable. ‘Hie output of man- uiacnrres is larger, and mo)‘; n“. ma! conditions are coming about. Ooal production in Nova Scotia in- weased in January and employment ccnditioru in that province are re- ported as favourable. The silk in. diam-ice are iully employed, a; are tatile mills. Production o! motor eI-ra is running ahead of last year, while exports in January had a value oi $908,000 against $367,600 in 1033." Note is taken in the Bank letter oi the fact that foreign w oi Canada in January exceeded in value that oi the corresponding month of 1933 by 8210684110, 1m.
