The import- ance of co-operative education can- not be denied for only through it can we obtain the results which we wish to obtain. Organizing is easy. I have no dou-bt but that your co-operative union could organize a large num- ber of co-operailves this year out. organization without. previous edu- pation leaves you with a problen- of supervision which is nearly im- possible to handle, because organi- the principles of eta-operative philoso- phy and practices, think only of the services which their savings aibane 11 A.M.; Rose Valley 3 PM; ‘provide. So that only to the extent | oi’ the support which you give to your central organization, can you expect in return the necessary ser- vices in education and. supervision. No co-operativo can succeed which feels self sufficient within itself. Highlights Some of the highlights of your co-operatives year were: (1) The organization of three co- operatives, two of which have re- ceived Charters. (2) The passing of new income fax laws affecting co-opemtlves and the Quebec Conference on taxation. t3) Brief on freight rates pre- sented to the Transport. Commis- sioners at Charlottetown. 14) Negotiations in regard to the shipment of potatoes to Britain. i (5) 'I'he establishment of a Share ‘ and Inan Department in the (kedit iUnion League. (6) Managers’ Conference with ’rect from the factory. (7) Visits from co-operative lead- ' em from foreign countries: United States, South America, Jamaica and China. (B) Four short courses held the province during the fall winim‘ months. ‘ Organization. Four organizations applied for co-otperntive Charters during the year. To two oi these, the St. Pet.- er's Co-opertitive Association Lim- ited and the South-side Fisher- imen's Co-qperative Association in and ' Limited, Charters have already been ; granted. the other two will no doubt receive their charters later. I attended a numiber of meetings ,in the communities which applied [for these charters. . ‘There is room for great expan- sion in co-operatives. but} believe that. this expansion should be thor- “oughiy planned in order to have ‘ our (to-operatives properly situated. ‘The western end of the Island is ' very well servtced, the co-operatives having been placed in just the proper places in order to service, all the people and at the same time have rail facilities. l Before going much further in or- ln order to ascertain the best. pos- - sible position for new co-operatlves, gonizational work.

The i net earnings of the nine fisher-i men's co-opcratives were nearly - $15,000.00, which is very good con- 1 sidering that several Fishermen‘: co-operatlves paid their rebates before the end of their year as an additional payment on fish. Thiat should be remedied because co-op- 1 eratives that pay these extra pay- ments on fish before the end of l their fiscal year have little 0|: noth- , ‘ing left to put in reserve against [future requirements.

Managers. A general report of these meet-i ings will be given later by Mr. Gene German, Secretary of the Managers Association, so I'll be very brief in my report. The mana- , gers association was started sever- , a1 years sgo as an experiment and . it was found to be so beneficial that meetings have been held every month, when possible, ever since. It was through these meetings that arrangements were made whereby the Ora-operative stores received three cents extra on each bag of these arrangements the co-opera- tives received $2600.00 extra for commissions. A number of other important things have originated at. these meetings, which have now become a very necessary part of our. co-operative set-up. - having in mind; room for expan-i aion. transportation facilities be serviced and the mates of busi- ness will he centrally located. If this is clone all educational and or- lzanization work will centre around ' ‘these points and there will be no . overlapping of territory, while leav- ing plenty of room for expansion and service t0 the whole Island. Otherwise we may have a number of smallwo-opomtives in a district with no room for growth. unable to obtain the financial strength necessary to branch into the many lscrvlccs which a large tau-operative can give. , Taxation of (Jo-operatives Under the new Tax Act, all ox- rapt new eta-operatives will have to pay some taxes. The amount of these taxes varies according to the manner in which the fro-operative operates its business. The Co-oper- ‘ative Union of Canada has dona wonderful work on this taxation ‘question, but there is still I. num- ber of changes which will have to be brought about. Your Qo-opera- tive Union of Canada is working on this continually. At the present time we are work- ing on an amendment. to your by- l laws which wt understand will ease the burden of work to tho co-opera- itives a great deal in conforming [with the provisions of this Act. some fear was felt, due to'our co- operative year ending on January ‘list. that the provisions of the new act. would apply to the eleven months in 1940 for under Section P 4 of the old act most of our c0- i Qcrotivu would ha tax inc with and i location so that all the people will Cooperative Union of Canada This is a federation of the Pro- vincial Co-oparative Unions of Ca- nada and your Co-opcrative Union of P.

It is a nat- ional organization and therefore looks after the interests of all co- operatives in Canada and is ever on the alert to protect the rights of the co-operativc movement. This was proven by the organized energy which the Co-operative Union nf Canada put into the fight against. unfhir taxation.

July 20——(CP)—The Canadian Medical Association said today that Canada does not need t, to import doctors from Europe, Commenting on an Ottawa m. port that the Federal Government is reviewing Canadas need for doctors, Dr. A. D. Kelly. assistant secretary of the Association, said Canada "now has one doctor to every 1.017 people." Ono difficulty about admitting European doctors to a Canadian practice was that their education- al background was “rarely equal" to that of Canada.
