The frequency with which this factor is emphasized would indicate that such co-opcra- tion has been lacking in many cen- tres. Leadership in organization, with mmpetent supervision and manage- ment of factories, is evidently rc- garded as of next importance. Almost equal emphasis, however, ls placed on a. third factor, namely, absolute cleanliness llr the handling of all milk, butter and checsc pro- ducts. Many sanitary precautions are urged, such as pasteurization, use of covered trucks for delivery lo factory, keeping house-fly and other pests in check, etc, Other factors stressed are: reduc- tion to minimum of all transporta- tion and overhead costs; aggressive advertising and salesmanship; Pm‘ per grading of herds; balanced ra- tions; proper cooling of milk and cream; “a live board of directors"; knowledge of market demands at home and abroad; a Central Mar- keting Board; paying best prices the management can afford to produc- ers; reasonable hours of work and living wage to employees, with bon- uses to workmen of more than aver- age ability; production of cream cheese in small packages for the lo- cal market. One contributor tersely suggests: "Honesty." Another advises that at their annual meeting each farmer should give a. rough estimate of the amount of milk and cream he can supply during the coming year, these statements to be followed by open discussion on how best to increase quality production. A third states, somewhat pesslmistlcally, that the small factory is doomed as a busi- ness proposition; that this is an age of centralization and that the es- ientials of success are now a larger supply of milk and cream from more patrons, covering a large territory. ‘This latter opinion, however, does not seem to be shared by the major- ity of contributors, who pin their faith on loyal co-operatlon and ec- onomic management, without which. Indeed, no co-operative enterprise. large or small, can hope to succeed.

For nea.\‘y two years a gigantic construction program has been un-r heard little or nothing. , the Government, beginning in rhe- land works of the transcontinental Quebec, Northern Ontario and sou- thern British Coiumbia. The work has now progressed to a point where completion is assured with- in 16 months-unless the Cabinet decides to halt it. Moreover, senior officials of the National Defence and the nos-of- ficc departments have formulated |dctailed plans for the transcontin- ental airmail service and these p'ans are now before the Cabinet. No decision is likely 1c be rcaclicri ini the immediate future for the reason‘. that the service cannot be launched i until the construction of thc nir-i ways is finished. The plans, however, call fol" planes wilh a cruising speed of around 1'10 miles per hour and a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour. Leav- ing Montreal at about 8 p.m. the west-bound plane will reach win-. nipeg in lam than seven hours and will arrive at Vancouver sonle 16 hours after leaving Montreal. As with rarll" service, a plane will lcavc Toronto each night and will meet the Montreal plant at North Bay or sudbury. thus giving a transcon- tinental servire from Toronto west- ward. Transcontinental airmail, how- ever, will be made possible by the’ completion oi one of the mast dif- ficult construction jobs in modern times. Seven ycars ago, ivlrcn fl trans- continental service was first en-l dorsed, the Federal Government chose the Prairie Provinces as the first link and began construction on an airway from Winnipeg west, through Regine. and Moose Jaw to Lethbridgc and north to Calgary and Edmonton. This airways was completely equipped ill every res- pect. There wcre emergency lalfiing fields. equipped with boundary lights and gas beacons, every i0 miles. Larger airdromcs were built every few hundred miles. Three million cdndle power beacons were installed at terminal yrolrlls such as Winnipeg, Regina, Clzrgary, Ra- dio direction beams and a lclctypc weather services facilitated night flying. The western airmail service was inaugurated in the Spring of 1930. The contract for flying passclizcrs and mail was awarded to Western Canada.

A 30-hour train trip from Wiri- nlpcg to Calgary ivas cut to seven Ol‘ eight hours, Wllh a conscqucnt sav- ing in mail carriage time from Win- nipeg west to Vancouver. But in 1931 the Bennett Govern- ment cancelled the cullraci. for reasons of econor . The nirway has been mairrtnuhcl and call bc nindc ready for fIyillg on short notice. While cancelling the Prairie air- mail, thc Government did not abandon the ldCa of a transien- lilicntal service. And one year lntrr an opportunity of advancing the project presented itself. Tim Gov- ernment seized this opportunity with the result that a truly trails- continental air-moi‘. scrvlcc is nciv- cr rcnliiy today than ever bcfirc. To Major General A. G. L. Mc- Naughton mllst be given chicf cred- it for what occurred. The Government had met with failure in its first effort to cope with the unemployment problem. The $20,000,000. voted fol" rclicf works in September, 1930. dcmon- stratcd that this was too costly a policy to be continued. In 1932 llic Dominion adopted the policy of dir- cct relief.

Colwill and Paterson of Cumberland and St, John, N.B-. in their addresses on Thursday last lat the Annual Meeting of the Prince Edward Island Associated Boards of Trade. It is well, in matters of this kind. that those of the present genera- tion should acqualnt themselves with the acts of their predecessors, i and possibly no book is more accur- atcly informative than that writ- ten by the late Hon. Edward Whe- lan Islanders generally will agree with the two gentlemen from New Brunswick in their contention that there are many ways in which the Confederation pact has not worked out to the mil advantage oi’ the three Maritime Provinces, and that there is ground for complaint at the Federal scat oi‘ Government. On tile other hand, there ls reason to believe that there will be a. differ- cllcc of opinion as t0 the best method of obtaining the redrcsses sought for. According to press reports frcm Ottawa, published a few weeks ago, at the time that the three Maritime Premiers laid their case before the Bennett Government. their requests for the appointment of an Investi- gating Commission appears 1o have been granted with the best of grace, rlor is there any reason as yct to doubt that Parliament at its ilcxt session will ac; upon the rec- ommenclctions of the Commission. If disappointed in the final re- sults, it will surely be time enough to follow the aggressive program now being suggested by the propos- ed “Maritime Confederation Lea- gue" and even then the question of the methods of attack to be employ- cd will be worthy of very careful consideration. Before nn institution of this nature will have a. right to speak for the thrcc Provinces, it must lmvc a membership of a really representative character. and there must also be general agreement among the members. In "listening to Messrs. Paterson and Colwill, I could not but feel that they were not always correct in locating the blame for present conditions. They seem to have for- goticli thc extent to which gcog- rnipliy has played its part, and lo have ignored thc fact that trade invariably follows lines of least rc- sislnncc, and further. that ns a consequence of tlrcsc two factors the tlrrcc PfOV-DCCS by the sea vcry largely have bccn victims of circumstances over which llcither they nor anyone else in Canada linvc had control, arlil in the per- mitting of which there have been no unfriendly intentions on the part of illc people of Central Canada. I have lived most of my life, prior lo coming to Charlottetown. ill Qucbcc, Montreal and Toronto, and I have no hesitation in saying rat, 5o far as the rank and fiic of thc central Canadians are concerned. ilicrc is only the mOSt friendly p35- sibld feeling for their fellow cilizcrls to the cast. Moreover, because of the lending positions gained in baliliillg. education, politics and the have to decide how the airmail is l0 be carried. 0n this point there has been acute controversy ill re- ccnl. months. Whcn the western airmail was shut down, Canadian Airways, Ltd” continued in business, living off air services maintaincd. ivitli mid Wltil- out Government subsidies, to thc northern milling fields zuid the arctic settlements. The company, apparently, decided to hold on, in the belief that within l1 few years thc transcontinental service would bc started. This 00111000)’, of which J. A. Richardson. of Winnipeg, is pres]- dent, is the strongest Organization of its kind in Canada. Both rail companies arc large stockholders and the company is, in cvcry wiry, a. national one. Brit it has cmcrgcd in recent weeks that the Government is ooh- sidcring a new air set-up with re- spect t0 the transcontinental ser- vice. The latest proposition is that public tenders be not called for, If. thc contract is awarded on this bas- is (and American companies exclud. cd. as in lllc past), Canadian Air- Ways Would be bound to obtain it. But it is just possible that the Gov- crnmcnt will decide to fly the trans- continental airways with a state or semi-state owncd organization. Such ent of. but closely affiliated with, the Royal Canadian Air puma The dcclslon in this regard will rest with the Government.

Bearchlights and radio beams and tcletypc apparatus will then be 00mg thrown into the scales ln fa- vor of a state operated mall service. Private companies, sucll as Canadian Airways Ltd, are empha- tically in opposition to the plan. While a transcontinental airmail service is probably not more than 16 months distant. the air-carriage of passengers is farther away. It has been decided not to permit p“. scnzcrs to travel the transcontin. chtnl airway for at least a year nftcr the airmail begins. The reason is that the flying ncross Northern Ontario is r ed as lrnmrdous installed and lhls will be one of tho largest contrnrts for this kind of cqulpmcnt iver nwnrdcd in cairada. ‘Then the route will be Nady for operation and the Government will licricncc will not only ndd i0 the surety or the service. but wiii in- SIIE JUST I coliurivr o0 A 0N warn n": O He was one of the finest fell face—stubblei . . .
