I9, 1948 Worthy of Every Support An opportunity to help along a cause which is dear to the hearts of most of _us and vital to the interests of all is presented in_ the United Emergency Fund for Britain campaign, wblCli has been launched this week across Canada and will continue until December 3. Themational objective is five million dollars, of which 1'l’ll5 Province is asked to contribute $25,000. lt is not loo late to recall that when the bombs were falling and the enemy had engulfed the whole of Western Europe, Britain was the bastion of the Western Hemisphere. The tablet recently unveiled in Westminster Abbey the late President Roosevelt is a tribute to 1115 fa-r- lighted recognition of this fact. But even before her vital role was recognized by the United States and Lend Lease came into being, Britain was compelled to liquidate her foreign invest- ments accumulated over more than a century. Thus she last the means to pay for a large part of the imparts which were necessary to main- tain her accustomed standards of life. The cnd of hostilities was for Britain mere- ly the beginning of an intenser austerity pro- gramme, which would take columns to describe ln outline but which is evidenced by the fact that today she imports one fifth of the goods she bought from abroad in 1939 and exports half as much again as she did prior to the war._By such drastic means Britain is slowly restoring herself to a position of solvency. In doing so she has not shirked her responsibilities in any way as the bastion of democracy in Western Eur- ope. She contributes (what we in Canada have failed to do) her full share to the Berlin airlift, ls fighting the Cold War with vigor and making military preparedness on a vast scale for de- fense purposes. Lending a hand to Britain in her struggle for survival is as important to us today as it was during the war years. The United Emergen- cy Fund offers the most practical, economic and efficient means of translating Canadian dol- lars into the most urgently needed material necessities far British families. By combining the work of various agencies and‘ creating a national organization, the UEFB has been able to secure the co-operation of governments and transport systems to facilitate the movement of goods arid reduce the cost of delivery. This national agency can now deliver for ‘less than a dollar what the individual formerly paid $2.50 to dis- patch. Moreover, through its ability to buy in bulk, the UEFB can obtain much more for the contributor’: dollar than he was able to do when acting on his own. Prince Edward island's quota is a com- paratively modest one, certainly not beyond our means considering the great importance of the objective. ln wartime we led all Canada in vital fund raising campaigns, and it would be to our everlasting credit if we I sponded in the same wholehearted manner on this occasion. The Farmer's Contribution Summerside, and Prince Edward island gen- erally, has come in for a lot of favorable pub- licity, as a result of the Bureau of Statistics discovery that the Prince County capital has the highest average income of any municipalitity in Canada. Commenting on this remarkable achieve- ment, the Windsor Star concludes: Summerside is situated in a rich agricul- tural area. It is so situated that purchasers ‘have to go past it to get to any other sizbble shopping centre. So they buy there, and the town is prosperous. This proves that Prince Ed- ward island is a fine agricultural provincef it shows how dependent an urban community is upon the farming population of Canada. "Show us a town situated in the midst of a fertile farm area, worked by good farmers, and we will show you a prosperous town so long as farmers get good prices for their products. Farmers, by the nature of their occupation, are heavy buyers when they have the money. "An urban resident needs a house and food, and has to spend the money necessary to the upkeep of the house and the provision of food. A farmer has to keep up his house, too; he also buys much of his food. in addition, he has to buy expensive machinery, wire for his fences, forks and other equipment for his barn, repairs for his machinery, paint, nails, axes, and all sorts of things required if he is ta be an efficient farmer. "That is the answer ta Summerside's pros- perity and illustrates how important it is to keep up farm income. Once that income drops to uneconomic levels. towns and cities soon feel the impact." ii. S. By-Election The Progressive Conservatives of Digby- Annapolis-Kings have nominated George Nowlan, barrister oi Wolfville, as their candi- date to contest the vacancy created by the resig- nation of Rt. Hon. J. L. llsley, who had repre- sented the constituency in the House of Com- mons for thirteen years. Two days previously the Liberals had nominated as their candidate John D. MocKenzie of Middleton, who repre- sented Annapolis in the Legislature from 1933 to 1945 and who was a member of the Provin- cioiCabinet as Minister of Highways and Pub- lic Works. Mr. Nowlan represented Kings in the Legislature from 1925 to 1933, during which 'perlod he was o member of the Assembly or Hali- fax. Mr. tlowlan carried Kings, the most popu- lous ef the three countids merged in the Federal constituency, in two elections; his first win being nflflljlnd his second in 192B. He failed to by reiatlvelv narrow maroins in i933 and 1937. His present opponent Mr. MacKenzie was an unsuccessful candidate for Annapolis in 1928, but was elected in 1933, 1937 arid 1941. Although a portfolio-holder in the Macdonald Government, Mr. MacKenzie was rejected as a ‘candidate by the Liberal Convention of his county in 1945, and wascompelled to relinquish his position in the Cabinet. The three-county constituency of Digby- Annapolis-Kings was created by the Redistribu- tion Act of 1933. it has been held for the Liberals since 1935 by Rt. Hon. J. L. llsley, whose major- ity in that year was 6,628. ln 1940 Mr. llsley's majority dropped to 5,576, and in 1945 to 4,577. He was an exceptionaiy strong candidate, who polled a very heavy personal vote, as these ob- normal majorities clearly indicate. The day fixed for the Digby-Annapolis-Kings polling is December 13, one week earlier than that set for the by-elections in Marquette- Mani- toba, Carleton, Ontario, and Laval-Two Moun- tains, Quebec. The inference which the Sydney Post-Record draws from this is that the Govern- ment rightly or wrongly regards the Nova Scotia constituency as the safest of the four and hopes, by winning Digby-Annapolis-Kings by a decis- ive majority just before polling in the other constituencies, to improve its chances in the less "safe" divisions of Marquette and Laval- Two Mountains.

I Q C There is at least one objection to the pro- posed abolition of appeals to the Privy Council. There would always be the suspicion that the Dominion Government would tend to appoint judges known to have centralizing views. A pos- sible solution would be to give the provincial Governments, or a majority of them, the right to veto any such appointment. d! fi l * Viscompte Ferdinand de Lesseps, French diplomat and engineer; he conceived the pro- ject of making the Suez Canal and organized an international company to carry through the work.

The govern- ment already owns more than 300 "pubs" in three state-managed districts which have existed since the First World War. They have proved profit- able. Now every pub in so-called satellite towns to be built by the government will be state owned and will sell state been-probably much like the fliiid provided by private enterprise in these days of austerity. Existing hotels and breweries in districts to be incorporated in new towns will also be owned by the state. I I I Q The Attlee Government is rejoicing over winning the Edmonton bye-election on Saturday, their candidate Austen Albu having defeated tho Conservative. Edwin P. Hubbard by 3,327 votes. The Edmonton victory maintained Labor Party's almost unbroken string of by-el- ection successes since it came to power in 1945. Labor has lost but one of the 29 by-eiections it has had to defend since the general election- a record unequalled in British parliamentary history. That seat, Glosgow-Camlachie, was held by an Independent Labor Party member in 1945 who joined the Labor Party after the general election. it was lost to the Conservatives. the » This column ls open to the ‘x discussion by correspondents , of questions of interest.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS In the year 1828 several explr» lng lures hail to be sot on their fecf. Grain and pulse asked for proper officers. Education claimed en- couragement. Ferries wanted lic- ensing. The Court of Judicature desired to issue commissions for examining witnesses out of this Island. Boar pigs and swine with- out rings, had not attended to former suggestions, and continued grunting against interference. Sla- tute labour was necessary an the highways; and once more rum, lo- bucco, and tea passed under review in high spirits in the absence ul their sister, the Pump Act, which they don't like to be mixed with. Anlmpost duly on all goods. wares and merchandise was at- tempted, whlcls, one would think, would have enabled Governor Ready to relieve the House from further attendance and take upon his own shoulders the public Trea- sury; but his Royal master wli.h- holding hiis Royal consent, the mutter dropped. Coincldently with the appointment of jail limits, the streets of Charlottetown were cleansed, and obstructions removed. so that, no doubt, these debtors who were allowed to take the all‘, got along with more comfort. Ten- unis in tail were permitted to make leases forany term of years, and to be good at law, but at the same time they were restricted to 999 years, with liberty of reposses- elon after that.

In this year Charlottetown gloried in the es- tablishment of an Academy; the laying out of highways was regu- lated; compensation to those in- jured thereby was provided far, and contributions from the benefited were levied.
