That is. only 5.: per cent voted. Of these a fraction more than 46 per cent, or less than one-quartct- of the total eligible vote, gave the Liberals 75 per cent of the seats. Thirty-nine per cent of the vote twist, or 20 per eent of the eligible total, gave the Prngressivtr (fonservativcs the rentaining one-qttartet‘ of the seats, while the C. C. F., with I4 per cent of the vote polled. was blanked. In the Quebec election 7o per cent of the potential vote was cast. The Union Nationale Party was ordered to form a (iovernment by one-quarter of the potential vote and one-third 0f the vote cast. On the same day in Alberta less than 55 per cent of the (lualifietl voters went to the polls, and the Social Credit Party was given 90 per cent of the seats by a little more than half the citi- zens who east ballots. ,__ It is estimated that about 80 per cent of the qualified vote turned out in Saskatchewan in June, and slightly over 50 per cent of this gave the C. C. F. 9o per cent of the Legislature. An interesting corollary is that, while this party won 47 seats with an average of 4.444 votes each, the Liberals, Progressive Conservatives and oth- ers won five seats with I8l,477 votes, an aver- age of over 30,000 each. In the Ontario vote of a year ago, a little more than half the listed voters went to the polls, which means that about 1.200.000 stay- cd home, and the Progressive Conservatives were authorized by a minority to form a Government. As the vote was split, anything else was hardly possible. The C. C. F. obtained more than twice as many seats as lhfi Liberals with 0'11)’ 9-°°° more votes. This, comments the Toronto paper, is the way the people enforce democracy, or fail to enforce it, in this enlightened country. Mr. Chur- chill had a definite point in tnind when he ad- vised the Italiati people how democracy works. Mussolini was able to seize power and inaugur- ate his Fascist regime because the people were divided into impotent groups. The same circum- stance played into Ilitler'.~: hands in (iermaityi. It is not an utiexpected nutconte when the peo- ple dotrt carc enough about democracy to prac- tice it. __;_________ EDITORIAL NU I t) .- .___.

It is not a new con- dition, for even before the war sortie taxpayers had (leluded themselves witlt the notion that in this way the dread income tax collector would find it more difficult to assess their taxable in- conic if they could do most of their business without the aid of cheque fortns.

Books Lll technical subjects are particularly desired as the coverage of these stibjeets is less thorough than the interest in them. The Centre is also building up a store of new books. but British publishers have not been able to ntake definite post-war plans for satisfying the European mar- ket lwcatise of present paper shortages. The home front demand for imoks will have to he satisfied before new books for the continent can be produced in quantity. Q U U i I The Fnglish-speakitig electorate will note (says- lite Gazette) that the post of Quebec Treasurer has fallen to the Hon. Onesime Gag- non, K.C., who is a well-known corporation lawyer of Quebec City with a wide experience of financial affairs, and who was a minister in the llenuett Gnverntnent at Ottawa. The custom that has usually, but not always, bestowed the Tlrcasurersltip upon an English-speaking mints- ter has not been observed on this occasion for reasons that were quite apparent. It would ap- pear that both Mr. Dnplessis and Mr. Jonathan Robinson, K.C., had been in something of a dilemma over the 'I‘rcasurersltip, the first be- cause he bad only one English-speaking member in his party, and the latter because his personal proclivitics did not incline toward the adminis- tration of the affairs of the "Freastiry. The difficulty has been resolved, with satisfaction to the littglish-speakittg electors, with Mr. Robin- son's appointment to the blitiistry of Mines. This new department has long been advocated by the English business commutiirv of the province. and it is certain to prove its importance and vorth under Mr. Robinson's direction. _ THE CHARM rrrmowtv GUARDIAN Iota: These are of clays were brooks Reco A man is hard cme atmosphere hotel service around wishing mi By The Way ___._. kind f da ‘ii wishing for lvillfen o y.

Sin-There has recently come to my attention an editorial in the Charlottetown Guardian, which I feel I should n some comment. as follows: "COMMENDABLE ZEAL "Mr. J. P.

These riv- er ferry boats are not constructed for operation under sea-going con- ditions such as are met: with in the Northumberland Strait. Consequ- ently the basic reason for their re- jection was that they would be unsafe for the Borden-Tormentine run. This was apart altogether from other conditions affecting them such as age-one was ap- proximately 60 years old, the other ‘IO-and the general condition of their hulls which in neither case was good. I might just add that at no time was the question of cost. allowed to be a factor. The third proposal was to pur- chase the hull of a steamer at New York which was 46 years old. This boat was a paddle steamer and the owner suggested it could be mended for the keen interest he has shown and expressed, in our transportation difficulties. Hts letter to the tre ration com- mittee of the Chariot etown Board of Trade gives the assurance that - the busy tourist season. it. a pullover i we. wll It. l; forecast t at roon only have to water that covers the bivalves and in fiv, minutes re- turn to find wide open. something disquiet! ,, thls-some-thing of shooting sitting bird. want to eat prepared to accept: a little he little f surrendering their Drugtzlng foul plays- them tearing around Somehow there is about. all Afte ll if Hie r a , peope oysters thev should be hardship ellows into all smacks of Winnipeg Tribune. everything possible ls being done to speed up the repairs to thcl Prince Edward Island, and that meanwhile the Scotia will workl ‘around the clock on any and every clay as necessity requires.’ “It is regrettable that sonic ef- fort was not made to obtain an auxiliary car ferry steamer to op- erate with the Scotin here during Attention has been culled to the fact that no fewer than three such steamers have been available since last. spring.

He could not show more zeal and concern about our problem if he were a Prince Edward Islander can rest assured that that It is possible for him our interests will be undertaken." In that portion of it which speaks in commendatory terms of Mr. J. P. Johnson, Vice-Preslclcitt and General Manager (Atlantic Region), Canadian National Rail- ways, I heartily concur. Both the Catiadlzm National Rail‘ Johnson in his important position and taking as he does a personal and very practical interest. ln transportation problems as they nffect the Province. I have per- sonally fcunci that his mtercst is not. confined to providing the best transportation across the Strait which can be tirade available un- der the circumstances. but. also that it. extends to various other activities as well, such as of freight and refrtgera cars with the minimum amount of de- lay, the improvement of railway facilities in the Province nneral- ly, and the many other ‘Railway matters which I have from time to time had occasion to bring to his attention, as one of the repres- entatives from Prince Edward Is- land. I welcome this opportunity of extending to him publicly my sincere appreciation for the en- ergy and keen interest. he always displays ln connection \vitlt our Prince Edward Island problems. While. as I say, I thoroughly agree with the reference to Mr. Johnson ln the newspaper artlsla, I disagree JliSt as completely with the following statement: "It ls re- grettable that some effort was not made to obtain an auxiliary car ferry steamer to operate with the Scotla here during the busy tour- ist season. Attention has been called to the fact. that no fewer than three such steamers have been available since last spring. The powers that be are apparent- ly not. interested." In contrast to those statements let me mention a few of the steps which have been taken in an en- deavor to secure an auxiliary ferry. The S.S. "Charlottetown" was sunk on June 18th, 1941. I im- gut. in touch with Mr. telephone be made and urged that a search immediately to find an auxiliary. Following this conversa- tion, I had a letter from Mr. Vaughan on June 26th, I941, out- lining the situation and conclud- ing as follows: "We are investigating the situa- tion to see if there ls any possibil- ity of finding a ferry which could handle automobiles during the summer months, but that. may be difficult to do. "You may rest. assured that our people have this matter actively 1n hand and are not. overlooking the importance of the service." A very careful investigation was carried out through the Canadian National Railways and the De- partment of Transport, several boats were tnentloncd, and lnspez- tlons were made of boats on the Pacific Coast, the Great. Lakes and the Atlantic Seaboard, both Ill Canada and the United States Unfortunately, nothing suitable could be found. Just to litrlicate that this in- vcstlgazloti was not a desultory one nor one which was allowed to lapse after n brief check-up I would like to quote from a letter dated Fcbruar (itl i942, which I re- ceived rom r, Vaughan: "Following the loss of the S. S. “Charlottetowm our Purchasing Department, acting in co-operatiun with the Steamslitps Department, and the New York firm of Wilford a; McKay, ntade extensive tn- quiries for a suitable second-hand vessel . . . These inquiries cover- ed the Great Lakes and the At- lantic and Pacific senboards and in considering the suitability of the few second-hand ferries that were available for sale our people had the co-operatlon and advice of Mr. . H. German of the Marine Architects firm of Lambert, Ger- man a Milne. In no case did we discover a vessel that could be ex- pected to furntsh as satisfactory standby service as the S. S. ‘Scotta I’." - Following some intervening cor- respondence I wrote to Mr. Vaug- han on April 20th. 1942, from which the following is on extract: cannot content myself with the fact. that the ‘Prince Edward Iilland’ may possibly or even prob- e can against the possibility of her not converted into n ferr diesel engines I mccliately requested an investiga- by the appropriate officials in the Department of Transport: and nrraitgect for an interview witlt the GAVE HIM ROM oflie l» gland u; ‘gnu-awn, u m Ill success" smiles.

Follow- ing this interview an adverse re- port was tnnde showing its mitts-It‘.- ability because of insufficient strength in hull and decks and be- cause it would not. flt the slips or ziutotnubllc ramps, and for other reasons. In short, the [JYOIJOSBI was just not a practical one. In addition to what was done regarding the last three boats I have mentioned, there have been probably ltalf a dozen boats at least; examined. I have had en- quiries made at every possible source of which I was aware and I have not neglected to have in- vestigated any possibilities gested some of WlLlClI, vcloped, were only runtour. I trus indicate is no ground w] gc-stiun that “effort was not made" to secure an auxiliary ferry or that those of us who have to do with these matters of public service were "apparently not terestcd". On the contrary there has been, as I have shown, most active cffo _ any cre. WIIICI] might in any likelihood be fit, for service. I have been rather disturbed by statements which appear some times regarding the transportation situation. Those of us who repre- sent Prince Edward Island have a_l\vay_:.- been fully aware of the dif- flClllllOS. We have not waited for nor ticcded any ltrgiitg to make our best endeavour to hcl these difficulties.
