"There are several points,of law to be interesting studied." Magistrate W. F. Lane said after WETO here The first Provincial Govern- ment. in the Atlantic Provinces to be approached by the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade with its findings on trade conditions in the seaside provinces was reached yesterday when the directors of the Prince Edward Island branch met the local Government. The main suggestion was that the four Provincial Governments be requested to unite with the Maritime Provinces Boards of Trade in the appointment of an Atlantic Provinces Economic Council, representative of all the Provinces, for various purposes. Among the above would be the making of a study of the advan- tages and difficulties, including alternate transportation, under which the people here are oper- ating; the discovering the forces which should make for economic growth and stability, and suggest- ing remedies for the economic ills of the area. If the proposed Economic Council is adopted it is further suggested by the Boards of Trade that it should have a directive for investigation of all matters cont-r-rning the wcll-being of these Provinces. Other matters which it is felt should come under their control would be consideration of the problem of equalizing expendi- tures in all Canada through Fed- eral spending of monies to build up possible power developments in the East. The proposed Council would be formed from the appointment of three members from each of the Atlantic Provinces to give it a their duty to. decide the ultima:e scope and activities of the final Council. The suggested formative Coun- cil would prepare the way for the final Council and bring in findings dealing with such mat- ter: as procedure. The matter originated at a meeting of the four Premiers on September 14 when the Maritime hearing the case of Raymond Le- BORN!

It is of little interest for his- tory to record that our rubble pile was in better shape than their 'rubblo pile." He urged that surplus Canadian and American wheat be used as part of a world-wide plan to fight poverty," not as a welfare project but to help develop their own re- sources, with no stigma attached" Surplus wheat is more powerful than the H-bomb, he asserted. He also criticized the belief, that we cannot have prosperity without constant war. The world, said he "is going in judge Canada and the United States, not in terms of material wealth, but in their sense of moral and social responsibility; by the way in which we are able to trans- late technical progress into humar. progress. He believed that the current struggle between freedom and tyranny is not a struggle for geography but for men's minds. "It is not enough to be against something; we have to be for some- thing”, he declared. "And we have to be strong not only on the bat- tle fronts but also on the social and economic fronts. The shortest road for Communism to travel is through the wrinkles of an empty belly.

The lines for milk. of which there is a severe shortage in the Soviet Union, are even more heart- breaking. Housewives try to out-l guess the stores or the outlets int the peasant markets. try to judge the but times. but it's pure guess- work and it's difficult to win. People form lines. carrying em- pty bottles. The milk is ladied out of big containers. Sometimes. long before the and of the line is reached. the milk is gone.
