M/ell-Merited Tribute Prince Edward Island o\vcs much to the Canadian Airways service which has now been replaced in the Maritinics by the Trans-Canada Air Lines. The Canadian Airways pioneered this route, and furnished a service uncxcelled in any part of the continent for safety, speed and convenience. It is due to no agitation 0n the part 0f Prince lidivarl l-laurl citizens that Can- adian Airways have been forced to discontinue; indeed, there is already some (lissntisfaction with the service under the new government setup. \Ve quote elsewhere in these columns a comment on the change-over from a Toronto financial paper. which is not complimciitziry. In the meantime, Superintendent Iones and his staff of Canadian Airways are still with us, and tonight it is plan- ned to do them honour at s banquet jointly sponsored by the Provincial Government, the City Council and the Charlottetown Board of Trade. The dinner takes place at the “Char- lottetown" at 7.30 and it is hoped will be ren- reseritative of all classes of our citizens Mr. Jones and his staff will not be short of em- ploymcnt; at this crucial time there is greater demand than cvcr for expert fliers. Yet we be- lieve it is with deep regret that these fine young men are leaving us now. They have all become Prince Frlwarrl Islanders by adoption snd wherever they go we hope that they will still think of this Province as their home. Rewriting The Text Books The suggestion has been made in London, Eng, that the history books 0f the United States and Crrcat Britain be revised and re- written to give the youth of both nations s juster appreciation of events affecting both countries. No more constructive work‘ could be undertaken than this, suggests an exchange. A joint committee of competent historians, having scccss to the official archives of both nations, could agree on the facts. Viewing those facts in perspective aftcr the lapse of time, and dis- cussing them in an atmosphere of sympathy and good-will, much of the bitterness would be re- moved when the histories came to be rewritten. In the d;i_\'s to conic, while the war lasts and afterward, the lil‘lll.~ll and American people must work in chi-r,- ns-ociiiiinn, first to preserve, and thcn to cxtvnd lllt‘ frontiers of liberty.

In The Maritime: The Financial Post makes the following comment on a subject of current interest. “Canadian Airways Ltd. has been forced out of the Maritime Province after l3 years of ser- vice in the area. The circumstances leading up to its withdrawal merit consideration. Last year the company secured two contracts from the Post Office Department for the carriage of mails from Moncton to Halifax, Saint john, Summer- side and Charlottetown and from Charlottetown to Magdalen Islands during the winter months. "On the strength of these contracts Canadian Airways invested $200,000 in aircraft. radio and other facilities. The contracts contained a. 30- day cancellation clause. On March 15 lsst the Postmaster General informed the company that. from April r5, Trans-Canada Airlines would take over operations from Moncton to Halifax. This part of the contract represented 35 per cent of the company's revenue. Without it. Canadian Airways could not carry on Maritime operations which, incidentaly, resulted in a loss of $r7.636 for i940. Attempts to arrive at a compromise were unsuccessful. “The service provided by Canadian Airways was never questioned. On the other hand Hali- fax has protested long and loudly because the T. C_ A. terminated at Moricton. The city's “prestige" was involved, apparently. Seemingly it was politically expedient to meet this demand, war or no war. The air-mail contract was trans- ferred to T. C. A. The economics of the move do not seem to have influenced the Postmaster Gcneral's decision. ‘ “It is hard to see how the capital expenditure involved in replacing Canadian Airways service can contribute to the war effort. And it does not seem to be good business for Canada to de- stroy its pioneer airlines one by one to put all our commercial flying eggs in one government basket, at sll times subject to political in- fluences."

I have no political plans of any nature. With the nation confronting what may be its greatest crisis in history, it is ridiculous for any one to make any plans for six weeks ahead, let alone years ahead." s s s e The proposed alterations on the Market Building would apparently be a distinct asset to the City. Improvements have been badly wanted for years but the Council has not been in s financial position to undertake them. Ac- cording to the plans submitted by the F. G.

ARTICLE V The food situation in Britain though fairly satisfactory at this moment, will probably become scum before next summer ls over This ll the considered opinion of the the highest British authorities, who beilevo that when the winter storms have passed the Gennins will launch an extremely heavy submarine campaign. They have no fesr that the sub- marines campaign will starve Enl- limd out. But; they do expect that singings of food ships will mach new high figures. Moreover, their records tell them that the total output of British shipyards will not keep pace with the expected losses. Their hopes for the future rest on shipping from the U5. Other phases of the shipping sit- uation wlill be discussed In s later article. For today I shall confine myself to the question of food supplies alone, s. matter which I have lsc with both Ronald Cross, Mnlster of Shipping. and with Ilord Wooiton, Minister of Food. Since neither spoke for pub- llcatlon, they must not be held re- sponsible for the statements made in this article. At. the same time, wit-bout breaking confidences I am able to assure you that. I believe they would agree in prinqiple, at least, with the basic conclusions I am setting down. A Complicated Problem The use to which svsllsbls shipping 1s to be put is decided by the War Cabinet ltselfflrhe problem is extremely complicated and must be repeatedly considered and re- considezed. For the War Cabinet must. decide how many ships are to be diverted to such military and naval matters as maintaining the Army in Africa and giving assist- ance to the Greeks, to mention only two such points. It. must: further decide how much shppln ls 0o be used in bringing in m ital-y and it must. decide how much cargo space can be reserved for the basic task of keeping Britain fed. Britain cannot feed herself be- cause in pile past British agriculture hasn't -pald. Food could" be more cheaply produc- ed on the continent: and in south carried to Britain and sold there in exchange for manufactured pro- ducts. Britain doesn't feed herself for the same reason New York State doesn't. But where New York ers can get. fruit fromlrlmdls. and Callfomia, meat and wheat from the Middle West-all places many hundreds of miles away-yet still inside the limits of the USP-Bri- talus food comes over the water, and frequently from foreign lands. These elementary facts have to be repeated here, because they are the crux of the situation. When I was in England there was still plenty toeat, though cer- tain Imported terns had all but disappeared. Butte: was extremely scarce, but even in normal times the working classes ate margarine, which every one is now learning to eat. and to like. - A portion of butter In a restaur- ant, was about. one-quarter of the normal-sized pat served here, and no second helping was possible. Sugar is being replaced by sacchar- ine, and restnuzants having sugar deal out to each patron one tiny bit, about one-fifth the size of the usual American lump. There were no oranges tit. all; no vegetables other than the eternal British cabbage and Brussels sprouts. Tomato Jillce was s. shill- ing a mouthful. Cereal Available But. for breakfast I could al- ways get n cereal with milk. one egg and a piece of ham or bacon. n generous portion of" toast with plenty of orange marmalade, and a cup of coffee or a poi. of tea. For the two other meals I could always get soup. a sfolce of meat. potatoes and one other vegetable, n dessert of some kind, a salad, and tea or coffee. In private homes the situation was the same. and the only trouble arose from the fact that one day's dinner might be quite like yesterday's because of aha absence of a variety in the mar- kets. Yet clearly no one was going hungry. As s matter of fact, there was s sur- plus of certain types of food-like (The British eat by habit, only about half as many potatoes as are eaten in Ireland; they regard carrots as somethln to be fed to rabbits, rather than umsn beings.» Therefore the government L: faced with the problem oi educating the British people to eat more of cer- tain foods than they have eaten in the past.
