Member: Audit Bureau of Otreulathim “The Strongest Memory is Weaker than fllewfVeuleeat Ink.” THURSDAY, JANUARY 12, 19$ Lively Session Anticipated The opening of Parliament at Ottawa today in of unusual interest in many respects. It will lee a new Opposition leader in the person of Hon. Dr. R. J. Manion, Conservative chieftain, and as it is likely to be the last session before the King Government goes to the country, the discussions are bound to prove of importance. The possibility that prorogation may be carried out by King George during his Canadian tour next spring, givi-s added interest to the pro- oeedings. At long last, the Government is reported to be planning to deal with unemployment and relief “from a new and more comprehensive approach." This being in effect what it prom- ised to do immediately on assuming office, the question arises why such action has been left ls an election-eve gesture. The new U_ S-Canada trade agreement, the revision of the ill-fated West Indies treaty, and other trade and tariff issues will doubtless ‘bulk large in debates. Interest will also centre on the budget and on taxation reductions, if any. These usually make their appearance in the dying days of every Liberal regime, regardless of the condition of the finances. Trade Boa rd Activities Always a matter of interest to our citizens is the annual review of activties of the Charlotte- town Board of Trade. The retiring president, Lt. Col. G. E. Full, presented his report at last night's annual meeting which appears in con- junction with the reports of the various Board rommittces in today's Guardian. Many will agree with Colonel Full's opinion that the relations between ‘the City and Prov- ince with regard to auto and gasoline taxes re- quire soine adjustment, in view of the fact that 30 per cent of these taxes are paid by Char- lottetown citizens who receive nothing from this revenue to help .pay for the maintenance of City streets. The retiring president also dealt with the eivic relief burden, which he maintained should be borne out of income taxes, in other words gvom Dominion and Provincial revenue and ‘Qt from civic assessments. Tim reference made by‘ Colonel Full to the right of the city and towns to their share of C. N. R. monies paid the Province in lieu of taxes, recalls that in 1927 this was one of the planks which helped to elect the Liberal party to power. It should therefore appeal to a gov- ernment composed for the most part of men who were active in Liberal politics at that time. Congratulations are due Mr. C. N. Bissett on his election to the presidency of the Board, which he has served in other capacities with de- voted interest and ability. Canadian Government Annuities ‘A A memorandum has been forwarded to the Dominion Government by the Canadian Cham- bet of Commerce, complaining of the rapidly [rowing loss in operations in the sale of Can- pdian Government annuities. ,Briefly the memorandum sets out that the Eirpose of the Government Annuities Act wlsen was enacted in r908 was to forestall a - mand which arose at that time for old age pen- lidns. The Act proved inadequate for this pur- pose, and now, with every Province providing mild age pensions with federal assistance, there Io longer exists any reason for Canadian Gov- " fitnrnent annuities being sold at less than cost. l’ It is claimed the annuity scheme is purely vol- e Intary "and the classes which require assistance for pensions in later years do not avail them- delves of the benefits provided in the Act ex- cept in an almost negligible number of cases. I Ihe scheme is therefore devoid of the most essential characteristics of a sound social secur- v ity plan. It is also claimed that the method of admin- tering the Act tends to defeat its avowed pur- ‘_ . Annuities are sold by agents remunerated ieommission; the income of such agents l being dependent upon the volume of business ' told, they naturally solicit business among the weitlthicr classes. for which the scheme is not intended. ‘ A! 1' result of annuities being sold at serious- ‘ldequate rates, recurring losses have arisen - yearjn the Annuities Branch. From the in- nti/of $2,300,000 was appropriatedxto the “m provide foi- mortnlityloelea alone and - 938-1 further $5,000,000 was approp- ior-the same purpose, To make Idgquate ‘ annuities jg) i - ‘lossenfor. n ‘ ‘ting y , with in- cent whctrtheGnv- ' much lower ‘ill of the Act tot March 3r, .1937, an, ‘ though he does It y‘ _ thptou appropriation ‘It, th ‘ ' moqpooi ht be change from time to time, but which shall not the cost of money to the Dominion Gov- emrnentpalao that premiums be adjusted to cover the full cost of administration, that a coritinuoua audit be maintained, and that the pnviitfl! be discontinued under which a person may acquire through a deposit such as $1.00 a year on option on an annuity at present rates and-apparently continue to hold such option cven against up increase in the rates of prem- tum or a lowering of the maximum annuity pur- chasable. The first representation" to the Dominion Government on this subject was made by the Chamber of Commerce in May, 1936. “Further representations," says the memorandum, “are now _deemed advisable in view of the loss on existing business party disclosed by the recent appropriation of $5,000,000 to the Annuities Branch, and it is again urged that future annui- ties be sold on a self-stistaining basis." A Serious Situation Our evening contemporary calls attention to the existence 0f a. “crime wave" in this Prov- ince and quotes the Grand Iury report in which comment is made on the widespread increase in the crimes of theft, breaking and entering, burg- lary, and even armed robbery during the past year. Emphasis should also be directed to the Grand jury's statement that the primary cause of such law breaking is frequently known to be poverty and destitution resulting from un- employment, and to its recommendation that the Government endeavour, by co-operation with employers of labor, to furnish employment for those who are idle. _ Of course, law enforcement is always a mat- ter of governmental responsibility, but ivheie the cause of a crime wave is traced. as in this case, to poverty and unemployment, the onus on the Government becomes all the greater, es- pecially when the remedying of such conditions was one of the chief obligations it assumed on taking office. I‘ Editorial Notes J Parliament opens today. 4- * w Edmund Burke born this date, 17:9. i i 1 i According to President Roosevelt's weighty dictum, modern civilization depends for its con- tinued existence on three fundamentals-Reli- gion, Democracy, and reasonable International Relations. But, alas, do the Germans, Japs and Russians know and concede this? ' ##1## Necessity is the mother of discovery as well as of inventionphence it is that British pros- pectors searching for new oil fields in British Guiana have found vegetable pitch in the North West District, near the Venezuelan boundary. Vegetable pitch is the rarest form of the sub- stance in the world, the only other known source being Soviet Russia. ' at o i: a An Islander wintering in Jacksonville, Florida sends us the following from the Times-Union newspaper remarking that it is what one would expect to find in Charlottetown papers in June. “The Hastings area is a scene of great activity just now, with planting of potatoes under way. Planting is near completion at Federal Point and in Flagler County. Planting in the Elkton district, and "around Hastings proper, will start about January I2. Early cabbage shipments are now going out of Hastings, Elkton and the Tocoi district. The quality is excellent, according to County Farm Agent Loonis Blitch. Shipments are expected to increase shortly as the season gets under way." Q U I I Charlottetown will have plenty variety of plays and diversified talent Friday evening when the Dominion Drama Festival takes place in the Prince Edward Theatre —- no fewer than four one-act plays being staged by four different casts. This theatrical event is not under the direction of the Little Theatre though the Little Theatre players with others participate, hence member- ship tickets of that organization are not good for admission on this occasion. The entertain- ment starts at the unusually early hour of seven o'clock t0 permit the plays being concluded be- fore morning, and warning is given that late comers will have to remain in the rear until the end of the first play so as not to disturb the performers. ' i l It is pointed out that the City'Council's re- solution re auto registrations and assessment is morecomprehensive and inclusive than at first reading appears. It provides that a car owner “shall produce a certificate from the City Clerk .. . .to the effect that such person is not-in de- fault or arrears for any civic assessments of any year or years....in respect of such motor vehicle....whether or not he be the applicant for such registry." In other words, it isthe car and not the offending owner, that is to be penalized. Under this proposed regulation hire- purchase autos repossessed by the auto agency could not be resold unless the agency, or the new purchaser, paid the "arrears for any civic asaessmenh. . .in respect of any motor vehicle" due by the defaulter. ‘ ’ ' I ‘i a e w Beverley Baxter believes in conscription, not believe the Conservative Party in Britain, of which he is a member and mMJ’. believes in it.

Scotland's girls are retty, but they make too little of eir beau- ty. such as the opinion of Bruce Mashull, the Scots novelist, who now makes his home in Paris, m5 expressed in the “Scottish Field. "I have seen more pretty 81118 in five minutes on- Sauchieholl Street than I have seen in a whole day in Paris," says Mr. Marshall. “Doe only trouble about them was they didn't.’ look like pretty girls. They looked plain girlish, humdrum girls, stodgy girls. “It needed the eye of faith 0r curiosity to discern their beauty, but the beauty was there all right, gleaming like a t. candle flame on the altar of a dar church. “The reason that. it. was difficult to see was that the girls themselves seemed to think it of so little importance that they took no trouble to stress it. “I em no great advocate of the powder puff and the lipstick, and I have no desire to see our young wo- men looking like chorus girls, but I think they might, young and old, do something to make them- selves more attractive. 'I'hey've got the eomplexions and theyye got. the figures. "But why go about. wearing their clothes as though they had been blown on them in a high wind? Why not buy dress- es and coats that fit their bodies, and why not walk in them with some appearance of dignity and oi faith in themselves? "Why not. do something about their hair and their hats?
