The laiv of supply and demand should be allowed free play in these Provin- ces." he declared. "We have forgotlfen how to work. If the farmers go foolish like the i people in the towns it will be just too bad for Prince Edward island." Reviewing the historical back- ground Premier Jones cited the advances of Prince Edward Island until Confederation “when the people of these Provinces lost i their courage."

Mr. E. A, Saunders, secretary, presented his report and express- ed doubts regarding the per cap- ita tax method of contributions from affiliated members, noting the poor response. His financial statement showed the healthy state of the organization. Included in the secretary's re- port was a reference to the Guys- borough Railway on which s great deal of work was done before it was discontinued. Had it been finished it would have justified its entire cost during the Second World War. the report said. Considerable attention was dir- ected to electrical development in the Maritime Provinces, the Bos- ton-Yarmouth steamship service, now discontinued, and a Canadian coast guard service. The secretary's report noted that despite "somewhat hectic" conditions in a business way, the lzist report of the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics shows an iii- crease in volume of business donc by departmental and other large stores in the Maritimes. Considerable difficulty and un- certainty was caused by a num- ber of factors, These included the loss of the British apple market. reduced lumber purchases by Bri- tain—-onl_v one-third of the vol- ume In HMS-the dollar situation which affected fish consuming markets in the West Indies and elsewhere and unsettled conditions in Europe and far-eastern coun- tries.
