(ll.irk. an official of the Canadian (R-ii.-iilate in Boston. are of such zrcat imiiortiince to the development of our Nlaritime economy that they deserve cvery hit of publicity that rim pus.-ilily be given them. hence our quoting tlicni just as they were rcliiirtcrl in a Canadian Press dis- patch. "xvii" F.ii-zland is c ry i ll g for, practically all the products that are so aliunilant in Canada. "'l'lic plain and unvarnishcd truth I is lli;it New England has been fished out and Caiiadiiin fishermen have guldcii tipp0l'llll'illlcS to reap harvests here with lobsters, clams and fresh and fi-o7.cn fish. "The New England market also prvsciits a golden chance for farm- ers and growers in Canada. Canadian apples, if they could be transported to Boston in a steady volume would take over the New England market. ”Di-icd woods (whatever they arel, so plentiful in the Atlantic I Provinces, are needed desperately here. ”The major difficulty in the past to trade between the Atlantic Prov- inces and New England has been the inability of Maritime manufact- urers and farmers to supply I con- stant flow of material. ”Whiie the New England market has admired the fine quality of Can- adian fish, fruit, farm products and lumber the supply has not been constant." If Mr. Clark's diagnosis of the situation is accurate-and certainly he ought to know what he is talk- ing about-the trouble facing the ;g Maritimes is not lack of markets but t- inability to supply them in quantity and steady volume. Surely, that ' ought to present no great difficulty. it Doubtless, the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council and its participat- ing bodies will get busy on it with- out undue delay. Carrying Mr. Speaker In most legislatures the election of a Speaker is in simple procedure. Usually, perhaps always, the selec- tion is made beforehand by the Premier in consultation with his colleagues and. perhaps the Leader I ,of the Opposition. He is then on the appointed day elected by unaminous vote of the Legislature, and that is all there is to it. He assumes his duties as presiding officer of the House and arbitrator of parliament- ary disputes; and, theoretically at any ratc. he has no political affilia- tion during his term of office. in Newfoundland, however, where traiiitions are venerated to an extra- ordinary cxtcnt. the event is not allowed to pass in so mild in fashion. This is made clear in a report car- ried by the St. John's Daily News regal-ding the' election of Mr. John R. (loiirage to the exalted office for the life of the present Legislature which convened a few days ago. The fiiist thing that Mr. Courage did on being formally informed of his elec- tion (doubtless, he knew weeks ago that he had been selected for the office) was to decline it on the ground of umvorthiness. Whereupon. without entering into controversy respecting Mr. Courage's fitness, the Premier and the leader of the Op- position took him by force to ,the chair and placed him in it, Mr. the way. Once he was in the chair, however, his opposition subsided, and he was proclaimed "First Citizen Of Newfoundland." Flowery speeches by the Premier and the leader of the Opposition followed, their tenor being that although Mr. Courage had tried his best to fifth! the post .,. icolmourwnmntboyuttisnflrn In dignity. with or without his con- sent. and is entirely separate from the more familiar opening-day page- Intty which symbolism-I the dignity and the lights of the Crown. The Exiles During and immediately follow- ing the Second World War many thousands of Russians I led their homeland for more hospital dwell- ing places abroad. This of course was not I good advertisement for the social and political system which its advocates believe to be "paradise enoiv." in the intervening years. Soviet leaders have tried to make out that the voluntary exilcs had been offered bribes and special inducements by foreign governments in order to discredit the Soviet way of life. As long as Stalin lived re- turn usually meant only one thing: punishment, which sometimes louk Courage giving token resistance all; :1. f the extreme form of execution by firing squad. Naturally. when this word got around, there was no rush to return to the homeland. Since Stalin's unlamentcd decrease, how- ever. Government officials have tried new ways of encouraging repatria- tion, including promises of a warm welcome and forgiveness for past errors, albeit with little success. Now. according to a report from Moscow, the services of the Russian Orthodox Church. once the estab- lished Church of Russia. have been enlisted. The new appeal is for a return to the "fold of the mother Church" rather than to a social par- adise. The official view, as published in the Government newspaper Izve- stia. is that most of the exiles "un- doubtedly" would like to return but are not quite sure what they would i run up against. Who can blame them for harbouring doubts? They know, as all the world knows. what hap- pened to the Hungarians who covet- ed a bit of freedom. And the fact that the Church has lined up with the politicians can hardly be expect- ed to make them any more trustful, since the Church itself is not free except in so far as it keeps silent on political persecution. Easter Seals Campaign The Easter Seals campaign for crippled children has been officially opened under the sponsorship of the Rotary Clubs of the Province. This worthwhile drive is deserving of full support. The rehabilitation program is necessarily an expensive one, be- cause the majority of these patients require long hospitalization and re- adjustment mentally as well as phy- sically to their disability. With the exception of a very few, it is im- possible for the individual to carry such a financial burden and the re- sponsibility rests, therefore, with the government and community. The objective of this campaign is to restore physical health to handi- capped children. Some steps have already been taken by our provincial government, the local chapter of the Polio Foundation and the Red Cross in the rehabilitation of some of our crippled children. polio patients, and those suffering from tuberculosis and mental illnesses. There arc many others Who require help and it is h0P9d that very soon a rehabilita- tion ccntrc will be provided, which will make it possible for all afflicted to look forward to a bright future. in the meantime, all who subscribe to the Easter Seals campaign may be assured that every cent contri- buted to this cause. will be wbrthily expended.

Io A VITAL A Journal writer recently in Lon- don reports his regret that the Can- adian Houss of Commons has not adopted the system of benches in- stead of desks and chairs in the Chamber. The dark-green benches in Weslmlnisier allow an air of in- formality with membe I crowded Wilelher in small space when the debate is interesting and relaxed with room to spare when business is dull. The United Kingdom achie- ves an air of informality, the al- mosphere of a club rather than I church. - The United l(' J chamber s more square than oblong and the acoustics-or perhpas the pub- lic-address system-permit I chat- tier stlye of delivery by speakers.

This program of roads is cost- ing the Government too much money. which only benefits I few of the taxpayers. After each snow- Itorm you see the government plows making I long narrow track through the centre of the road and leIving huge banks of snow along the aid; to obstruct the running water. and evidently you have the wIter cutting out the middle of the road. In this province we had one month. April. with bad roads when there is practically no trav- elling. Today with the snow plow: we not the month of March with bad roads for either slelghs or wheels. Back in the thirties, in the month of March we had good Ileighing and we would see lines of Ileighs with produce haul- ing into our towns. Today one on- ly sees the poor mail man wand- lng his way throuizh the mud and water. I think that the Government should discontinue opening up the clay roads after January for three months. Ind this would protect the roads. both clIy and paved. And the money the Government is spending would go I considerable distance in building paved roads; I an: air. etc.. READEI. Keullnnon. R.R.
