FRIDAY, APRIL 1s, 194i ll Compromise That Failed That was a hard "crack" that Public Works Minister Barbour gave to Hon, Dr. Cyrus Mac- " Millon, when he told in the Budget debate how badly advised he had been by Dr. Cyrus while the latter was representing Queen's County at Ottawa and was acting as parliamentary as- ‘ sistont to the Minister of Defense fcr Air. Ac- ’ cording to Mr. Barbour, he had bee.i tryinq to get a settlement from the Defense Department for over $l00,000 of damage done to roads in Prince County by heavy airport trucks during the war. He had been offered $20,000 and Han. Cyrus had advised him to take it as he did ' no,‘ think he would g:t any more. Mr. Barbour refused to do so, and held out until finally the Dominion Minister agreed to pay $80,00C-- Q sixty thousand more than our then Queen's ~' Ccunty representative thought we should take- v but still over twenty thousand dollars short of the actual damage. g Unfortunately for all of us, the King Gov- ernment has nct yet made good lts offer. As Mr. Barbour explained it, there was a change -of Ministers at Ottawa—a cabinet shuffle for which, of course, Prime Minister King was re- sponsibl-e-—end the new men, adiised by legal 'counsel, insisted on holding up payment until similar claims in other Provinces are settled. That is the situation as it stands. "lt may be ‘for years arid it may be forei/er." Mr. Barbour couldn't even convince the Government at Qt- tawo to pay one cent on his highway paving pro- ijects this year. He came back empty-handed on both. counts. Perhaps, after all, our former Libeall M.P. -—-knowing more about the King Government than our Public Works Minister-was not so far out in his reckoning. He may have figured that a bird in the hand for the lonns-llughc< Govern- mc-irt was better than two or even half o dozen in the King bush at Ottawa. In Saskatchewan i, from lkgino suggest the probabil-i ity of a Pro‘ icial general election in Saskatche-y wan some time during the present year. All . if"! DOlillCHl parties are stiffening their organ- . ization and some nominating conventions have already been held. On any balanced survey of political conditions in the Province, there seems - be no reason why the C. C. F. Government, aded by Hon. T. C. Douglas, shot-Id appeal to e constituencies this year. The last general ection was held on June l5, 1944, and the gislative Assembly has still over two years ore to run before living up to the statutory mit of its length of days. But the fact that me may be of the essence of success in the se of Canada's only Socialist Government, hose enactments so far have produced mainly isillusionment and resentment, may have in- ced Premier Douglas to make the plunge be- re the political waters become too much dis- rbed, At any rate the Liberal and Progres- ve Conservative leaders are obviously expect- g an early Provincial appeal to the people. Although there has been no coalition of he solid parties in Saskatchewan, such as that which was formed in British Columbia to com- but the Socialist movement, the dispatch quoted above says au agreement has b-cen reached bc- tween the Liberals and Progressive Conserva- tives to combine their forces in the two-scat urban ridings to prevent the election of C. C. F. candidates. There are three of these dual- member ridings in Saskatchewam-Regina, Sask- atoon and Moose Jaw, all of which returned the C. C. F. candidates in the i944 election. Al- though no public announcement of this "half- and-half" coalition has been made by any of the leaders, it l5 significant that the Liberals recently decided to narn»: only one candidate lll Saskatoon, the idea presumably being that the Conservatives will do likewise when their con- vention is held. The Critical With the removal of nearly all price ceil- rngs in the United States and many in Canada, the period of de-control in North America is now far advanced. llut, according to the Win- nipeg Free Press, the period of ample produc- Renort. i Phase _ ed. Until that production appears we shall live , in difficult times and in serious economic dan- . ger. At this point in the gradual recovery from wor the utmost wisdom will be required of em- ’ players, of labor and of consumers if we are to avoid serious consequences. Canada, which refused to lift all its con- trols prematurely, has been able to resist, so for, much of the impact of price increases in the United States. But because the business of Canada and tho United States- is closely inter- locked, because goods are moving daily in . enormous volume across the international bound- ory and from one price zone to another, in the [and prices on both sides of the’ boundary will be roughly equal, allowing for the incidence of thrills‘) transportation and tax-as. Realizing l. Qlltoda has sought to hold its price levels - ' at lblo in the belief that tho tion to satisfy public demand has not yet arriv-' 1 ~—: periencing tho intermediate rise. So far this programme has worked out roo- sonably well. Prices certainly have risen in Caroda and in some fields are likely to rise further as controls are removedu This is un- avoidable unless this country is foolish enough to attempt to isolate itself Dom the economy of the world on which it largely lives. And unless we propose to live forever with not only prices but wages and working conditions strictly regu- lated by the government in a totalitarian state, controls must be removed as soon as adequate supplies of goods appear in each individual line of production. __._.s_.__._____. — EDITURIAL NOTES i-.

At last the sun melted ilie wax used to hold the feathers on the wings and Icarus crashed and was killed. We're so qoorl at inventing ingenious machines, and so crirrinally stupid at thinking out the proper ‘vol/s of using them." C Q Q Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of Charles Darwin and Francis Galton, noted scientists, and him-elf a naturalist, doctor and poet, died this doti- i802.

Professor MacKinnon, ever since his P, W. C. day‘. has token a keen. interest in politics and public life generally, anid has contributed large- ly, liy both voice and pen, to discussions on these subiects.

I N I D A drip-proof tap, the washer of which can be changed without turning tho water off,at the main, has recently appeared in Britain. Con- sistng of only six parts, it is based on a new principle resulting from wartime advances in hydraulic equipment in aircraft. Two washers, marle of a new synthetic resilient material, re- plane the normal one. Sealing is effected by water pressure. After being turned on and off l,0lf-0,000 times in laboratory tests-the equiv- alent of 40 years of household use—the tap was as good as new. Q I Our educational transportation handicaps are as nothing compared with those of other plates. In some parts of Africa they go by air to their classes, not exactly out of enthusiasm but for the simple reason that there is no other torm of transport available.

This tax bears hardly on no one ex- cept those who prefer to live out of town while drawing their income from it. The City has to pro-ride all the necessaries to enable both resi- dent and outsider to earn a living within its bounds, and surely it would not be playing the game to permit all and ‘sundry to come in and benefit without contributing some share of what they earn to maintain the smooth running of the City's plant, equipment and social order. What is $10 per annurn for such a privilege-less than 20c per week, the third of the cost of a packet of cigarettes?
