TUESDAY. -IULX I. 1938 “Press. Radio. And Governments‘ Speaking to an Empire Press Union gathering in London, Hon. Richard Bulter, British Under- Secretary for Foregn Affairs, said something that governments, and even some newspaper- men themselves, don’t always understand, (says the Ottawa journal.) This: ‘ "The press is steadily increasing its func- tion of communicating the people's sentiments to the government as well as the government's to the people.” “In that sentence Mr. Butler put his finger on the difference between newspapers and the radio in the matter of a government’s relations with the people. Time and again we have heard the claim made that a government can reach more of the public through the radio than through the press; that ministers, in keeping in touch with the country, should use the radio more and the newspapers less. “The trouble with that argument, as Mr. But- ler shows, is that the radio is a one-way chan- nel. Over the air, a minister may tell the pub- lic what the government is thinking; there is no way over the air by which the government can find out what the public is thinking. The radio doesn’t talk back. “Newspapers do talk back. They not only permit the government to tell the public what the government thinks should be done for it; they tell the government as well what the public thinks the government should do for it. i “That, in a democracy, is vital. Actually, it would be impossible to have a democracy with- out it. Of course in countries where the government tells the public what it must think and where journalists and even press photog- channel of communication is needed. Only the government speaks; the public is not supposed to answer, must be mute. But in a democracy. where the importance of what the government says to the people is no more important than what the people say to the government, radio in touch with the citizens. "\?Vitl-i a general election in the immediate offing, this is a truth our public men might keep in mind." The Scottish Gathering - Province is always a matter of keen pub- rest. This year the gathering takes place ', July 5, on the beautiful grounds _ohn McLean at Caledonia. For a num- 'ars past the residents of this pictures- land district have been extending an to the members of the Club to hold celebration there, and at the last =eting it was unanimously decided to appropriate choice could be made, Caledonia”_ is not only reminiscent ocotia‘, but the view from the grounds 2 gently to the smith is typical of the stiles and valleys of the ancient homeland. .e are also many attractions, both for visi- ,(s and Clansmen. The highways to and from the grounds pass through some of the finest farming districts in the Province, while in close proximity are two of the Island's best trout fishing streams_ The selection of the date is also 1 fortunate one, as it will be the first Wednes- day half-holiday of the season. The Caledonian Club has gone to much pains to provide an excellent programme of Scottish dances, Highland games, Pipe music and other attractions. Meals will be provided by the ladies ficiency in the culinary art. Best of all will be the hearty Highland welcome awaiting the guests on their arrival.

Deaths totalled 26,228 with a rate of 9.3 as compared with 27,310 and a rate of 9.8. The natural in- crease for the quarter was 27,314 giving a rate of 9.7 as against 23,904 or a rate of 8.5. There were 25,389 marriages giving a rate of 9.0 as against, 24,686 or a rate of 8.8 in the fourth quarter of 1938. in in t :- It is announced at Canberra, Australia, that that Dominion will soon be in a position to con‘ struct all the autos they need, the Government having decided that motor vehicle engines and chassis are to be manufactured in Australia and that there shall be no undue delay in establishing the industry. The Prime Minister (Mr. Men- zies,) in making this announcement, said the Government desired that any company under- taking manufacture should be Australian in character and policy, but no manufacturing monopoly could be granted to any single coin- pany. It was essential that the price of the Aus- tralian product be reasonable and the public in- consideration embrace the following: I. A company with all Australian capital. 2. A company with Australian capital sub- scribed by an overseas motor vehicle manufac- turing organization. The Government, however, has not yet decid' ed what proportion of the capital of any com- scribed. u t o t Dividend payments declared on stocks traded on Montreal stock exchange and Montreal curb -mnm. «totalled---$58.1/99.93-3- during-— June, H_ de- crease of $5,146,402 from June, 1938, total of $63,946,335.
