MONDAY, NOV. l1','lo3'zm Gariililean Federation The Spanish Main of history and ro- mance is in a fair way to become the lat- est British Dominion. As a preliminary step the legislatures of the four main groups concerned, Jamaica, Trinidad, the Leeward Islands and the Windward Islands have agreed to federate and next spring will send representatives of their legisla- tures to London to discuss terms. A conference at Montego Bay in 1947 re- commended that a federal constitution for the British West Indies should take as its model that of Australia. Two committees ill recent years have studied the problems involved and recommended federation as "the shortest path towards a real political independence for the British people of the region.” Trinidad was recommended as the capital and it is not without significance that the new University of the West Indies was established there. The problems of the West Indies are largely economic. The islands are heavily over-populated and although the British Government has-undertaken to grant fl,- ()00,000 a year for twenty years to finance schemes for the general improvement of social conditions, the greatest hope pf the Islands is the proposal to have the main- land colonies of the region absorb 100,000 people over a ten-year period. Federation is hoped to bring with it greater trade within the area and con- sequently a higher standard of living but the West Indies must always find vast mar- kets for their sugar, molasses, rum, to- bacco, fruit and asphalt. It has been ex- perienced before, of course, that the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts and Canada will watch with sympathy fel- low members of the Commonwealth taking the steps which we ourselves took over eighty years ago.

But Britain now took only 40 per cent of the exports and supplied only 20 per cent of the imports. In the post-war years the United States as a buyer of Canadian produce and an ex- porter to this country continued to grow in importance while the trade with the United Kingdom was proportionately less. Inthe period 1949-50, for example, 70 per cent of Canada's imports came from the U. S. and only 12 per cent from Britain while 58 per cent of Canada's exports went to the U. S. and only 20 per cent to the Un- lied Kingdom. Gamma Ray canning On this 200th anniversary year of the first,canner's birth, the Windsor Star notes that a new and ultra-modern process for preserving food is believed to have been found. It is as modern as the atomic age, with the gamma rays of radio-activity kill- ing the microorganisms that hasten decay. In an elaborate ”radiation cave" set up at the University of Michigan, cobalt-60 from Canada's Chalk River plant is being used to provide the sterilizing power. Can- ning, in fact, may become a secondary use for the ”cobalt bomb." Under this process the meat or vege- tables would be canned raw, and the time and expense of cooking saved at the pro- cessing level. While this procedure may not commend itself to those who prefer canned goods because usually they're cook- ed, it still offers promise of a simplified way to preserve food. Simplified, that is, as far as big plants are concerned. "Radiation caves" aren't likely to become household appliances, even if the cost price eventually drops to bl,- O00,000 or so. No housewife will want to have her kitchen cluttered up with gamma rays, and insulating walls 14' feet thick, and so far no atomic canner appears to have found a way to avoid them. EDIIORIAI. NUIES4 Farmers and others will be watching with interest the results of an Experimental Farm investigation on the merits of various proportions of grass silage feeding of cat- tle. Grass is one of our most important crops in this Province and its practical use in winter an important consideration. Not many Maritime communities can, like Summerside, announce several types of industrial expansion in one day. Canada Packers Ltd. are extending their fertilizer plant there and a local business man, Mr. Kaye Hansen, is establishing a modern meat curing plant to produce smoked meats. The Canadian Dollar has been having its ups and downs recently. The possibil- ity of it going to par or to a discount on the American Dollar will not greatly con- cern people here. There was some moral satisfaction in our Dollarls show of strength, but the practical advantages are nearly all in favour of some d 0 provided from regular supplies on hand ill the various countries and handled and dis- representative, Carl C. Far- in .Canada's trade with the United States is analyzed in a recently published report, an American An- '3 alysis", by the London mission of the Mu- , Iitual Security Agency. Traditionally Can- ' ado has sold about 65 per cent of her ex- "ports in overseas markets, the other 35 per cent in the United States. In recent years the pattern has reversed. It is a de- velopment that has yikeh place because of Canada's geographic position, and, in the opinion of the Agency mission above quot- ed, is a natural and Inevitable one, benefic- Tlie trend towards bigger and lnore powerful cars is not universal by any means.

Charlottetown citizens are no more fond of paying taxes than any others but their children are en- titled to a fair educational start in life which must, of course, be paid for. D O C One of the more encouraging signs of the age is the ready exchange of ideas. There is no one-way traffic in brains. Sir George Henry Henderson, K.B.E., Secre- tary of the Department of Health for Scotland, is in North America at the in- vitation of the Governments of Canada and the United States, for consultations with officials on housing and health. Sir George expects to be back in Britain on Decem- ber 15. Field-Marshal Sir Bernard Law Mont- gomery of Alameln, first Viscount, was born this date 1887. Entering the my in 1908, he served in both World ars, being mentioned in dispatches in the First. I-Ie commanded the British 3rd Division at the outbreak of war and in the Dun- kirk evacuation. He succeeded General Ritchie as commander of the Eighth Army under Alexander in August 1942, repelled Rommel's assaults and completely routed the German marshal, retaking Italy's Af- rican empire. In the summer of 1944 he led the Allied land forces in the great vic- tory of till bottle of Normandy. Intermission ;' Y, I Jtc correspondents. INDEPENDENT KILLING PLANT Sir,-In Thursday's paper I read ll. letter headed "President Y80 Replies." As 9. member of the Federation of Agriculture of. P. E I., I think this is a question of vital Interest to every former in the Province. The first time I knew of this proposal of Mr. Wheatlcys for an independent killing plant .10 be erected at Charlottetown, was at Hunter River in 1951, when he brought the subject before the meeting and asked for the support of the F.0.A. At that time the Federation was supposed to free from politics; also non-sectab fan, and I think Mr. Whelitleys proposal got. the support. of II great. number of farmers. His complaint at that time was that the present killing plant. namely the Canada Packers at Charlottetown. would not kill and chill meat. for export. for any one individual for the Newfoundland Trade." I took no notice of this question at that meeting and I am only writing from memory; but I do think that Mr. WheatleY'l PTO" posal got the support of a great number of farmers. Just. why the Federation of Agriculture knowing that such I plant would benefit all the farm- ers of P. E. I. because of cheaper freight rates for chilled meals, to Newfoundland. do not. give their moral support is, I think.

The attitude of some was such that anything further was useless. The Federal Health of Animals Division requires the plans or blue- prints of a plant. and the idea. is to work on them until everything; is is satisfactory, then build and af- ter completion obtain Federal in- spection of plant.

Yet at the first meeting of dlrectiol-s' After these meetings they decided to send two of the Federation to wait on the Ciovernmeni. and Mr. Dewar told me himself we were not supposed to act. I had made two or three trlps to see Mr. Inga and he ssld we could do nothing. and that he felt we wdi-s not wanted, especially myself, - why? Now how long did it take this delegation to meet the Government in see what to do?

He said the list contained the nomes of men who were as well able to pay taxes as he was. He was sur- prised to see on it the names of property-holders nnd men whom he knew hall money In the bank. It also contained the nnmes of men said. by the collector, to be off the Island, who were here now and never nway at all. He thought it absurd that certain names on the list should be writ- ten off, and asked for a special committee to inquire into the ma!- ler. ”After an explanation by Couli- cillor Byrne, sliowlng that the late Finance Committee were not to blame in writing off certain names, nl committee consisting of Councillors Koughlm.
