Mathleson, wife of the Hon. J. A Mathieson, former Chief Justice of the Province, The late Mrs. Metliic, son had been in ill health for some months. She was '79 years of age... Few women in the Province have had s more eventful career than Mrs. Mathleson and fewer still have had the privilege, as she did, of seeing and of being more or less directly concerned with the welding of Canada into a great and autonomous nation. Her father, the late Hon. David Laird, had been appointed Gov- ernor of the Northwest Territories. and in 1876, Mary Alice Lnirmilien a child of ten. journeyed with’ him. her mother, and bers oi the family to North Battle- ford, Slain, which had been de- signated the seat oi Government for the Territories. The trip from Winnipeg to Battleford was mane. by ralrle schooner and entailed hardpships which few oi the young- er generation oi Island women have ever experienced. On Sept. 15, i898, she married Mr, J, A, Mathieson, at the time a rising young lawyer of George- town, destined to become Premier and Attorneyliencral. and later Chief Justice of the Province. Five children were born of th- unlon: Louise, who died at the early age oi three; Helen, Mrs. Frank Chauvin, Montreal: Mrs. Dora Campbell, City; Avila, Mrs. T, B. Rogers. City; and Maior D. L, Mathleson, K C , also of Clint-- lottetcwn. The late Mrs. Maihieson was deeply interested in all work of a charitable and religious nature. A prominent membc. oi the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, she held for many years the office oi Regent of the Royal Edward Chapter of the Ordcr and during the war years her responsibilities as Regent exacted labour from her nf a strenuous and continuous nature. For several years ghe was National Councillor of the I.O.D.E. for the Province. Her work as a member oi Si. James‘ Church and especially in the Women's Missionary Society, was characterized by a devotion and self-sacrifice which will not soon he forgotten by those who have had the privilege oi working with her. Besides her husband and the four children above mentioned, Mrs. Mathleson is survived by one sister. Louise, wife of D, H. Laird, Winnipeg; and three brothers. Messrs. D. R.

MacArthur ' Lays ‘Down Plans Hopes To Free J ap F armer‘ From Economic Bondage. By MORRIE LANDSBEBG TOKYO, Dec. l0 - (Monday) — (ASH-Gen, MacArthur today laid down s sweeping program of agrarian reforms for Japan to “dos. troy the economic bondage which has enslaved the Japanese farmer for centuries of feudal oppression." In a move calling for abolition of absentee land ownership and making provision for Japan's mil- lions of small tenant farmers to bi, their own farms on long terms at low rates, the Supreme Allied Comm nder ordered the Japanese Gover ment to carry out the order by March 15. The directive, which headquorfi ers termed one of the most in reaching of the occupation, con- tains basic economic reforms in conformity with the principles of the Potsdam declaration. 1t cites these “pernicious ills“ affecting Japan's farmers: 1. Intense overcrowdlngs of the land: almost half the- farm house- holds in Japan till less than 1 1-2 acres each. 2. Conditions highly unfavor- able to tenants: More than three- fourths of the farmers in Japan are tenants, paying rentals amounting to half or more their annual crops. 3. A heavy burden of indebted- ness: Less than half the total farm population is able to sup- port itself on ‘agricultural in- come. 4. Governmental discrimination against the farmer: Interest rates and direct taxes are more oppressive than ln commerce and industry, 5, Authoritative government control over farmers: Arbitrary crop quotas often restrict farm- 6P5. Rather than outright confisca- tion of absentee-held farm pro- perty, the directive provides for purchase of farm lands from non- operating owners at “equitable rates" payable in annual instzill- mg ments commensurate with tenant income. The order instructs the Govern- ment to see that farmers are af- forded legal protection lo condi- tions will not force them back into tenancy. Specified safeguards are access to long and short-term farm credit at reasonable interest rates, measures to prevent exploitation by processors and distributors, and stabilization of farm prices. The Government also was or- dered to provide s program of technical education for farmers, along with an agricultural co operative movement "free of do- mination by non-agrarian interests."
