Progress In The Maritimes (Montreal Gazette) The Maritime Provinces have their own peculiar problems, md the indications today are that they are solving thdn satlsiactorlly. It is a frequent political complaint that they suiier under economic disabilities that are not 0i their own making. But none may charge that they have not triumphed over most oi their disabilities, largely in virtue or their own initiative and enterprise. Business generally has been improving during the past iew months and apparently the lrn- provement is oi a permanent kind.
