With ti promptness which the British Gov- ernment seldom showed before the war or during its early months, the Board of Trade availed itself of the new powers coiii‘c'ri'ed 'upon it by'tlie latest Defense of the Realm Act, and iuiiilertook the operation of the mines itself.

Another troublesome new factor in slaughter of young pigs. The demand for bacon in the trenches has led to the depletion of the supply, with the result that pork and bacon will prob- ably become almost prohibitive in price for next year. Moreover. the cost of f’e‘edstui‘fs has gone up so much that pig-keeping is becoming unprofi- rant meals to two courses, the ap- made of available supplies. _ table. The' slaughter of calves was pointment of a food controller with] 9. Enter premises where articles power to regulate the production as are "kept, stored, manufactured or forbidden many months ago, and it seems to the British authorities that it is time to extend the order to pigs. But no matter haw many steps are taken ‘to remedy these economic troubles and prevent a recurrence, it is generally conceded in England that tho island can never be entirely self- fecding and that she must continue to depend largely upon her inercnant marine to bring her supplies from a- broad. This feeling is largely ..ac- countable for_the renewed agitation for the arming of merchant ships as s protection against submarines. The London Times, in a recent editorial, advocates armament and declares that if neutral nations will not con- cede that ships armed for defensive purpo:-ies‘may still be merchant ships, England can still arm her vessels plying between her ports and the ports of her allies or colonies. ’l‘hc' Timex-i says. "There seems to he general agree- ment that, though a gun in the sisrn is better tlisu nothing, it is not suf- ilcient. “A gun in the stern means that di- i ,_ __ ' - Y » . realized session, the board decreed, and the that my I-agony-ces me by no means rocily a ship sights an enemy sub- t d " ever .- owner, agen an manager oi .y such mine shall comply with our di- rections as to management and use ‘of the mine, and if he falls to do so the shall be guilty of a summary off- gf ease against oui' regulations.” As ale,-5 _matter of fact, altlic-ugh the board said “any coal mines to which the act applies," it applies to every coal mliic and to practically every other commercial enterprise' in England, and gives the Board of _Trade unpre- cedented powers in the direction of business. Government Control of Foodstuffs. _ Oi' still more vital importance, how- ever, ig the Government’s control of the consumption and production of foodstuffs. This control, forineriy exercised to ii. slight extent by the 'Board of Trade, has-been vastly in- creased and have been placed under the' management of the newly created food controller, an ofllce to which Lord Davenport has been appointed with the almost unlimited authority “to make orders in the interests of the public and for maintaining' the' supply of 'any nrti-cle of commerce." This general statement gives him po- wer to decree pretty nearly every- thing. Specifically, the food controller may do the following things: 1. Prevent the waste or unneces- sary destruction of uny specified art- icle. » 2. Restrict and prescribe the use oi any article. 3. Regulate the manufacture and production of articles so that itlie public may be supplied with those "iii" EASES i|REil, - SURE, SWlliilEN EEEi INSTANT RELIEF FOR ACHING, PUFFED»UP CALLOUSED FEET AND CORNS. ing, puffed-up feet- feet so tired, chafed,sore and swollen you can hard ly get your shoes on or off?

It is anxiety regarding her food supply that has` made England redouble her efforts to becc-me self’-supporting. That 'there ure thousands of acres lying idle in the island today which could be used for farming is well known. Two reasons are’ given for_ this waste. One is that much ol’ the -` land belongs to the big estates, ke t marine she must, if she is to put up any fight, manocuver to run away. The very act. of manoeuvring exposes the niercliaiitship to the fire of the enemy ship. There is then only one course' (-pen to the merchant ship - to continue to run away, firing, as she flees at the enemy ship, which is usually faster and more powerfully armed. The whole action is distaste- ful to British seamen. "Were the merchant ships armed in the bows as we-li as in the stern tlicir csptalns would then have the choice of action. The spirit of British sea- men today is such (it has been prov- ed so over and over again) that they would not hesitate -to turn upon, in- stead of turning. away froiii, those wiiom they rightly regard as the' out- laws of the sea. “It has been argued that merchant D by wealthy men as game preserves. and stocked with various small ani-, mais for the lords to go out and shoot| when they need recreation. Their estates. however. will probably go with ihe cc-ming of Lloyd George into power. He has often in his speeches referred sercastically' to the ornamen- tal, iiveried servants that populate these estates and do nothing, and now that he has be'come Premier, with` powers such as no other British Pre-, mier has had, he will undoubtedly take some steps to make these estat- es productive. The other reason for the waste of land is much hrder one to remedy. It is a scarcity, of labor. W-ith most of the available men at the front or in the -munitions factories. it is tllfllcult to find farm hands. The women and children in the rural communities have -partially como to the rescuo, but there are not enough of them. _Ons suggestion for solving the problem is to put German prisoners at work on the farms. The Earl of Craw- ford, president of the' board of agricul- ture, speaking in the House of Com- mons last week, indorsed this idea. “German prisoners, in my opinion would work well and be' faithful to their employers,” he declared. “lt is not to be supposed that these men, accustomed to work at home in agri- cultural pursuits, would, when put to- the some occupation in this country, ting pocket money into the bargain, be anxious to-ueturn to the intern- ment camp or to be repatriated to Germany to be sent back to the firing line." The Board of Agriculture is doing its best to put women on the farms. but the large stretches of common lands cannot be cultivated because ami _ they are near no large towns and no labor can be procured. Wherever there is oven a small plot of landnoar vessels must not be armed in the bows as wcil as in the’ stern, because of, ihe construction which ce tain neutral nations would put upon Assuming ihis to be sound, and the view is very widely held among business men that the British case has not been ade- quately put before neutrals, it is re alized that many British ships never touch a neutral port? Business men are not aware of any reason of prin- ciple why all those British vessels which trade between the various parts of the British Empire should not bc fully armed in self-defence. If ii. ship usually employed in empire trade were to be diverted to a neutral port, where on some -‘juridlcal nlcety,' objection might be taken to lt, the gun could be removed. li’ there are not at present sufficient guns avail- able to arm merchant ships fully, that is it reason whlchbusiness men can appreciate and one which they im- agine will bc' overcome. “British owners, encouraged by the pluck of the ofllcers and men of the merchant service, would tolerate no` half-hearted measure towards the submarine campaign.

As to the patriotic fund i don‘t thhxk it will be much use ap- pealing to the country, as the way the first fund was handled sickened :most of us, who did give. As to the other funds I think that what the people of P. E. island have sub- scribed shows that they have not done too bad. But, it seems to me there are others in high places who ought to take a leaf out of the Finance Mlnister's recent homlly on thrift. 1 have just come across a clipping from the Montreal Herald that seems to be in tune with what I am writing. A Cdionel Thomas Csntley, presl- dent of some company in Nova Sco- tia, on reaching St. John, late on' Christmas eve from England found he would be too late to reach New Glas- gow. in time to eat his Christmas din"- nor with his- family lf he waited for the regular train, so to get there he hired a special for the small sum of $266.00 to get home to the bosom of his family for Chrlstmaa Now. l don‘t know whether he was a Sam Hughes Colonel, or one of those other ones who have been -lumbering up the sidewalks in' England while the men they took over have gone to the front and with "occupation gone," coming back for a new pulll. lfthink it is al- together likely he is president of a inunition factory and by looking at the price he paid for his .ticket, he must be able to “cough up," consider- able towards patriotic funds. l see that the' Bishop of London is living in only two -rooms, whllle his palace is occupied by wounded soldiers. Since you are appealing to the public so forcibly (and l may say patrlotieal- ly) get in touch with Sir Thomas White, and put him wise where to put the screws on. l just figured it up, and that $266.00 paid f’or the special train would have fed eight Belgian families for a year at $2.50 per wee-k.
