Tile grant offered is $15 per (gpflq based on either the l94l or i943 population and the value of gross national production. Through no fault of_aurs, this Provilice was deprived of war industries which would have swelled both our population and production figures in those years. lt would be grossly unfair to penalize us now for Ottawas neglect of our interests at that .time. British Columbia, on the other lltlfltl. EHjOYECl: tremendous wartime shipbuilding and other activities, on which she is now able to capitalize in her fiscal negotiations. What this Province needs and must insist upon, is a special agreement that will recognize our han- dicaps as such, and Ottawa's obligation to rem- edy them under the terms of_ Confederation. in the meantime, it is significant to note .that the Dominion Government has stepped down from its high and mighty attitude toward the Provinces and has considerably modified the offers it declared last March to be unchange- able. For this retreat from its former posi- tion the Ottawa Journal credits chiefly the ef- forts of the Premiers of Nova‘ Scotia and British Columbia. "This," it says, "should be a salutary lesson for the complacent propagandists who assured us that the Domin- ion Government's offer to the Provinces rep- resented the last word in wisdom, that it was as unchangeable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, and that all who dared oppose it must be 'disunionists' and 'wreckers.' For months olr end we had it dinned into our ears that the Provinces must surrender all their tax fields; that they must give up electricity and gas taxes as well as corporation and personal income taxes, not to mention succession duties; that their job, in short, was to forget about such trifling things as provincial rights and self-gov- ernment and become wards of the Dominion. Now these propagandlsts are discovering, and not too soon, that there is something else in this country besides dollars and cents-discovering that there are people who are not at all sure that Ottawa holds the title-deeds to wisdom, and who cling pretty tenociously to the old-fashioned idea that without the right to tax there is not much power to govern. The discovery should be wholesome. As wholesome as the further dis- covery that 'big stick’ methods don't go down with our Canadian people." Railway Freight Bates ln an address ‘at Rotary Club this week Mr, J. H. ‘Norton, regional traffic manager ‘of the Canadian Notional Railways, showed how rail. way operating expenses have gone up in recent years notwithstanding low average freight rates. lt is worth remembering, however, that during and since the war the railways, due to increased volume of traffic and perhaps more gggngmigq] management, have been making big operating surpluses. This is a welcome change indeed, es- peciaily so far as the Government owned system IS concerned, which before the war was incurring nothing but deficits. ' At present there is an agitation on the part of the railways for a 30 per cent increase in freight rates, which is to be heard before the Board of Transport Commissioners early next flwlllll- lt is generally conceded that there should be some increase granted, but it is claimed tho proposed flat increase of 30 por cont would be disastrous to the Moritimes and extreme Western Provinces, which are subject to the longest hauls. Without anticipating the arguments to be advanced pro and con on this question before the Board, it is worth remembering that we have a Maritime Freight Rates Act which specifically recognizes tho right of this part of Canada to the rate reductions which come into effect in ‘I927. The preamble of the Act recites succinct- ly tho principal findings of the Duncan Com- mission in this respect, namely, "that the lntor- colonial Railway was designed, among other things, to give Canada in times of notional and imperial nerd on outlet to Iho Atlantic Ocean, and to offord tho Maritime merchants, traders, Ind manufacturers tho lorgor market of rrholo Conodlon pooplo instead of tho restrict- od morkot of tho Moritimor themselves, also that ltrutogic considerations determined o long- or routo than m actually nocouory, ond thoro- foro that to tho oxtont that commercial con- lldoratlonl-woro subordinated to notio ' poriol ltrotoglc conditions, Iho cost‘ rail ‘ ‘ ld be borne by tho Dominic Y‘ ‘fir?’ i which might pou ovor l to tho Act also note: that lsrion recommendations ro- llljll‘ frolght rotor woro modo "for tho purpose of removing o burden im- posed upon th trade and commorco of such Provinces (tho Maritimos) sinco l9l2, which, tho Commission finds, in view of tho PIDIIOIMCI- merits and obligations undertaken at Confed- eration, it was novor intended such commerce should boar." " The reductions made under the Maritime Freight Rates Act are statutory and not based on any "fair return." They complicate the situation considerably where the question is of a flat rote increase. Certainly if words moon anything at all, the preamble to the Act moons that the ‘Moritimes hovo on unonswerable. case for special consideration under any judgment of the Transport Comimssioners respecting freight rates. - EDITORIAL notes .-.

That was on art centre which the exigencies of wor mode us sacrifice for the time being. With a community theatre of this description, a communi‘y choir, and a community orchestra, we would be well to the front as a progressive, artistic centre in the Moritimes. ' out: If we ore to benefit in the same proportion as British Columbia through the new tax adjust- ment at Ottawa, we shall fore not so badly. But it must be borne in mind British Columbia is a steadily growing province so far as population is concerned, whereas the some cannot be said of ourselves. What we need fiscally is enough revenue to get back into our pre-Confederation stride, when we were on the lip-grade, not down- grade, so far as the rate of increase in popula- tion was concerned. l’ i i i When doctor's disagree who shall decide what diet to follow for health and h-ppiness? Dr. Hans Selye, director of experimental medi- cine at the University of Montreal, believes that better food selection aimed at a higher sugar content in the diet may help curb high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, stomach ulcers and rheumatism-"the price we pay for success." He said his theory for preventing stress-induced ailments also call for reduc- ing the amount of meat and salt in the diet. Working for the Dominion Government during the war, he found that "air raid ulcers" which many Britons suffered after heavy air attacks, were caused by on excessive flow of adrenal hormones resulting from nervous tension. Such ulcers, Dr. Selye found, tended to be averted by a rich sugar diet. Dr. Selye outlined his the- ory, not yet tested on human beings, before o meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Manu- facturers' Associatign.’ _ lt is claimed one of the reasons for the transfer of Mr. St. Laurent to the Exterior De- partment and his replacement by Mr. llsley, is because there is the expectation of a bitter de- bate in the House of Commons over the Espion- iige cases, which in several instances have gone aglea. One of Mr. llsley's first communications was from Mr. A. W. Beament of Ottawa, the ‘lawy- er who has won three acquittals asking, that if any further copies of the report of the royal com- mission on espionage are published mention be mode of the fact that certain people branded as guilty have been exonerated in the courts. The Justice Department's contention hos ul- woys been that the gravity of tho situation wor- ronted tho extreme measures that were token, ondso far, the government has stood firm on .the commission's status and its tho _ ‘had ollowod ‘tho company deductions amounting report. Only the other day it rewarded one of its key fig- ures, Mr. E. K. Williams of Winnipeg, chief commission counsel, with on appointment ll Chief Justice of Manitoba. ‘r The Privy Council hos turned down the op- peol by tho Federal Government with reference to the use of ministerial discretionary powers under the Canadian Income Tox Act. Many members of tho Canadian Sonata and Commons urged that the discretionary powers of the rev- enllo minister in tax cases be abolished alto- gothor or ot loost be strictly limited.

The changes Mr. King announced at an Ottawa press conference on Tuesday conslsred merely of} swapping of portfolios between Mir. Ilsley, Mr. St. Laur- ent. and Mr. Abbott, whhh seems designed to serve no more slgnlfl- cant purpose than to ease the two older Ministers out of the Cabinet. when the hour strikes for them to receive their rewards for not hav- inv retired sooner. Mr. Xlsley relinquished the posi; of Finance Minister to accept the portfolio of Justice. which Mr. St. Laurent. parts with Io‘ devote his "exclusive attention" to the De- partment pt External Affairs. Mr. Abbott, who has been Minister. of Defence for upwards of a year. takes over the portfolio of Finance. holding the two jobs till a succes- sor has been named to assume the former past. which will likely rro to some other of the present mem- bers of the Cabinet. This cannot he called an e cit- ing Cabinet reorganization. or even an interesting one, outside the small circle of individuals lnvrflved in the exchange. Although Mr. Ils- ley has had little practice as a member of the bar, his translation to the pOSl of Minister of Justice will surprise no one who has known what is toward at Ottawa in these transitional times. lVlr.
