Places where once great fishery supply fIOIICEPIIS "We in operation can now boost of nothing more than one or two small stores and yet the population has increased rather than decreased. The cause of these business recesses can not be entirely attributed to local conditions but rather to a system which, by its very nature, precluded any provision for the future. Thus one or two lean years was usually sufficient to force the fish- eries supplier into insolvency thereby exonerat- ing both himself and the fisherman who owed him the money from the obligation of paying their bills in full." ln this Province, the Flshermen's Loan Board during the ten~year period Aug. 1 to 1936 to March 31, 1946, did $520,623 of business, including in loans to fishermen $245,550, l" loans to organizations $141,861, and in erec- tior. of fish buildings $92,861. A considerable proportion of these loans had been repaid at the time this report was tabled last session in the Legislature. A still greater factor in improving condi- tiuns in this Province has been the fishermen's co-‘iperatives. The first such co-operative of which there is rccord in Canada was formed at Tignish in 1924, and the same year the lsland Legislature passed an Act permitting the in- corporation of fishermen's unions. Some thirty umons in all received charters, though only half of this number actually functioned successfully. The law as passed was loosely drawn, and in 1944 seven of the most successful fishermen's unions became incorporated under the general Co-operative Associations Act. One of the most remarkable cases of the influence of co-opera- tion on community welfare has been at North R'!Sl'1CO,——l'l1f1I1l(S to exceptionally able leader- ship, which is also, of course, a vital factor in commercial enterprises of all kinds. Churchill's Best Season As already noted in these columns, more wheat hos been shipped out over the Hudson Bay route this season than in any year since the 2,500,000-bushel terminal elevator operated by the Dominion Government first discharged grain into the holds of ocean steamers in the fall of 1931. The two-months season has clos- cd with tofzrl exports reaching nearly 5,000,000 buslrcls. "The amount," says the Winnipeg Free Press, "is rial spcctacular, but it will greatly en- caurcg: pfilsofis of the Bay route who believe that a m lha c'<p:r:'i.c: c.‘ cnsthcr season to study, they will be able licltzr to appraise the physical prob- lcmz, including aids to navigation in Hudson Strait, viicrc the chicf l".::ards occur, and the possibility cf curbing rivcr ice within the harbor during 11'.‘ late fcll.

This season imports were cgoin almost nzgligible. Tlicy amounted to 373 tcnr, which irtcludcd 193 tons of glass, 62 tons of rough costings, about the some tonnage in liquor, and eight tons of curling stones. Most vessels arrived in ballast. Ships cannot be ex- pected to come empty into even the finest nat- ural harbor in the vrsrld. Here is the ract of the problem of Churchill and the Hudson Bay route." lTranium From Congo Prospects of tremendous colonial wealth, for exceeding that of the 17th-century Spaniards or 19th-century British, are being dangled before tho Belgians by independent and antl-govern- ment newspapers which are still trying to pierce the secrecy surrounding the vast atomic poten- tial of the Belgian Congo. It i1 claimed, on questioned authority, that the quantities of uranium which the United States has bought from the Belgian Conga in the last seven years alone represent six times as much physical energy as do the g-rofino re- ums of the United States. , lt has been claimed by a few writers that this enormous wealth in the main energy source of the future will sonsationally cliongo Belgium's hitherto modest role in world politics. . 1935. By an agreement mode early in the war, the entire uranium potential of the Congo, said to be at least 60 per cent of the world's stock, is reserved to the United States; and it was under; the termsof the agreement that the Congo pro-‘ vided the vital element of the atomic bomb which hurried Japan out of the war. In spite of recent active campaigning by Communist members of parliament, great sec- recy is still preserved about the tcrms of the agreement with the Unitad States. lt is not known how long it lasts nor, officially, what is the price paid for the uranium itself. - EDITORIAL NOTES - lf the packers strike costs Ontario farm- ers $10,000 daily, how much is it costing our farmers?

Laurent appears to have spent. u portion of this week denying a news story which had never been written. The apparent subject of his dental was a clespatch to The Gazette reporting that the New- foundland delegation was leaving Ottawa with details of unusually generous terms by which the lsland could enter Confederation as a 10th province, but that. the Govern- ment's preoccupation with the York-Sunbury by-electlon was hin- dering the course of true love. All this. sold the Minister, was just not so. No attempt had been made to negotiate terms and lt. “as, thus, impossible for the dele- gates to be carrying any off In their brlefcases.

Lau cat's own definition c-f what the Newfoundland-Can- ads, representatives were doing over three long' months Is deserv- ing of attention. They were, he says “exploring as completely as we 'could on ~what terms union could be made to work In a prac- tical way." Nowhere does he sug- gest that. the exploration was l failure so It. would appear that the net result was the emergence of terms, no less; or just: what. the denied report had stated. What do the Newfoundland dele- gates say? They are under the impression, rightly or wrongly, that they are returning In possession at the details of "about 95 DB1‘ cent of the terms." 1t goes without saying. of course, that. the formal Confederation of- fer. whenever made.

EMPIRE LOYALISTS Most. of the United Empire Loy- allsts who came to Prince Edward Island dld not arrive tlll 1784, the yfifll‘ after the great. influx to New Brunswick and Nova Scotln. In the spring, summer and autumn of 1783 not less than ten thous- and Loyallsts and disbanded troops came to Shelburne. N 8., at the head of the harbor of Port Raz- alr, with heady hopes of bulldlng a city which would some day out- strlp Halifax and be the capital of the Province. But; hard luck hounded the new colony and soon all but a small remnant dispersed to other parts. Cape Breton got many of them, and a number, at- tracted by the promises held out: by the Colonial Government of free tracts of Iimd, came to Prince Edward Island. Most of these made Bedeque their destination. 1n the Nova.

The Strand l (Art-hut Bush In London Calling), j From London's early days, the ‘road we now know as the Strand‘ has been of great Importance. Al- ways, 1t was the connecting llnk between the City of London and what was then the entfrely separ- ate City of Westminster; each so lndvldual that Steele, the elght- eenth-century essayist, wrote 111st their inhabitants were "as differ- ent from each other as those who are born in different centuries." Quite when 1t. reel-Ned 11s pres- ent name ls not certain, but there arc references, 1n pre-Norman Conquest. days, to a roadway along the strand of the river, and when, ln latcr years, many o! the palaces l of the nobility were bullt along the bank of the river, the roadway on to which they faced became known as Strand Street. O This street was merely an un- paved way, and so rough was its surface, so muddy, and treacher- oius underfoot, that even horses had dlfflculty 1n keeping upright. When Queen Elizabeth was going in procession along there to gvc thanks for the victory over the Spanish Armada, the horse upon mulch she was rldlng sturmrbled In one of the many pot-holes, and nearly threw her Majesty - but by the end of he: long reign most o! the roadway had been paved. Dllrlng Elizabethan Lmes, at one of the houses In the Strand, there lived for a time Slr Walter Ral- eigh, and 1t was here that, as he sat. one day- quietly smoking hls pipe, a servant seeing the smoke issuing from hls mouth and nostrils dached a tankard of ‘beer over his master's head, 1n order to put out the fire. o o , Another sixteenth-century char- acfer associated with the Strand was Thomas Parr — know a: Old Parr. He was a Shropshire farm- worker, of great age, who was brought. to London and lodged 1n the Stu-and by the command of Charles I. He had lived through ton reigns, and finally dled, aged 152 years; only killed, Said hls contcmporarles, by the close air of London. I Q I Wlth the coming of the opht- eenth century. almost all the huge mansions of the nobility hsd clls- appeared, although their owners are commemorated to this day in the names of several streets that lead cut of the main thoroughfare; and the Strand itself became more wlfe, 3 and more the busness and ccm- mercial street that we know new. In 1740. there was established at. Na. 132, by a Mr. Wright or a Mr. Baifioe (history ls undecldezl on the name), the first circulating library; and about. 1.111.; tine, boo, it was I-he proper Ihlng for ladies of fashion to frequent a certain shop in the Strand. iihlch was one of the very few places in London where tea could be bought. You can guess at its scarcity when you reallze that the price was between tweny and thirty shil- lings s pound, and that, in the large houses of the period, the tea leaves, after use, became the per- quisltc of the cook, who made quite a useful Income by selling them at the back door to those people who could not afford to pay the price for new tea. lVfuny were the taverns and cof- fce-laouses ln the Strand that. be- came the meeting-places of liter- ary personalzties. It followed, nat- urally. that; many publishers and booksellers set up thelr business here, and at one of them Otiarles Dickens bought a copy or the mag- azine containing hls first publlsh- ed work. The entertainment world, too, became centred here, and as re- cently as sxty years ago a virriter was able to say shat. "the Strand 1s remarkable as containing more theatres than any other street In London".
