S Charlotte- foicn, which has been forwarded direct ‘to Pym“: Minister ypwtenzic King. The resolution speaks for itself. Tilt reason for its being sent w the Prime Minister is explained i" ll"? 1115i Pal‘ agraph, in which stress is pla:ed on the fact that the Board‘ "having repeatedly urged oii our federal representatives, tlic. Provincial Govern- ment. and the several (lepztrtuteiits ot the Ped- cral Government which \\'¢ “heeled “mild be interested, the tirgeiicy of immediate action as a war measure, and as over seven months have now elapsed without any progiess having been made to our knowledge, the tiiatter is of such vital importance that it be brought directly to the attention of the Prime Minister of Canada. and his Government." _ This appeal, it is hoped, will result m some- thing iiiore than polite proirfises of consider- ation. As pointed out in the resolution, one mill- ion dollars’ insurance is reliably reported to have been carried on the Charlottetown for the dis- astrous trip from Borden to Saint John, and to have been collected from the itnderwritcrs; yet up to the present no attempt at salvage proceed- ings (which Hon. Mr. Howe says are feasible) has been undertaken. If it is not intended to proceed with such work, steps should be taken immediately to proceed with the construction oi a new ship. The Board respectfully reminds the Prime Aliiiister that the Dominion Government will be held responsible for all losses sustained by the Province as a result of failure to fulfill the transportation service guaranteed under the terms of Confederation. Premier King was formerly a representative of this Province in the House of Commons. His chief lieutenant, Defence Minister Ralston, occu- pies that position todav. Both these gentlemen should be well informed with regard to the im- portance of our winter transportation service. and the precarious position in which we are placed at the present time. \Ve are not begging for special favours, but for attention to a mat- ter which, if it is much longer neglected, may result in very serious consequences "Battles Long Ago" Joined now with our American neighbors in a war of world proportions, we can afford to look back without rancor, but with fresh interest, oii records of earlier wartime days. "The lllaritime Province: of British North America and Hie American Revolution,” a booklet by Wilfred Brenton Kerr, Pli. D., associate professor of history at the University of Buffalo, just pub- lished by Busy East Press, Ltd., Sackville, l\. B., makes timely reading in this respect. A _full chapter is devoted to St. John's Island (Prince Edward Island) and Newfoundland duringthe turbulent years 1775-1783, when this province was not only in the “danger zone" but was actually raided by two American privateers. , Most students are familiar with that exciting story. The American ships, carrying 75 men each, failing in their attempt to intercept two British brigs on their way from England to Quebec, came to Charlottetown in search of loot. They plundered the houses of Attorney General Callbeck and Governor Patterson (who was ab- sent in liuglantl) and carried off a few prison- ers including Mr. Callbeck and the Colonial Sec- retary. The captives were eventually taken to General Washington at Cambridge, who received them politely, heard their tale of woe and sent them home. \Vlien the horse had been stolen, the process of locking the stable door commenced. An armed brig, the Diligent, was sent to protect us, and re- maiued here until the frigate Lizard arrived from Qticbec to take charge of Canso and the Gulf islands. llrof. Kerr tic-scribes in interest- ing detail the process of recruiting that went on. Mr. Callback raised a compary of over 80 men‘, called them the I.0_vnl island of St. John Volun- teers and included in their ranks a few New- fouuilltiiitlers. lie erected barracks. tiitumteil guns and UlllfllllCfi stores and arms from llalifax. In July, i778, (julciiicl riillllolliy llicrlihy was sent with five companies of provincizils from New York lo garrison the Island. In the next month tun privntcers lauded at St. Peters.

Prof. Kerr admits, “was eer- fainly not imaginary. for St. John's was among the possible tibjcctivc-s nf the French naval coni- ficer proposed another raid on the Island but was unable to carry out his plan. From this time only one alarm occurred, and that false, over the schooner lis/tcrancc; and the people received mere reminders from time to time about the continental struggle." The frigates which brought the convoys from Quebec, however, generally spent part of tlic ellllllllCi‘ here and several privateers captured iii. the Gulf were brought to Charlottetown where the crews were landed, to be taken across the Strait and marched to Ilalifax. Once the Island had in this way some nine prisoners who ivere wcll treated but surprised the officials by want- ing to escape. 1n the fall of i779. two hundred l-lessians and five officers of Kiiipliauseifs corps en route to Quebec were Compcllfai to disembark from a leaky transport at Charlottetown. They remained, welcome guests, until June, i870. The six companies remained in gtrrison and tlic eii- giiieer had spent £3,000 on fortifications when Governor Patterson returned to the Ieland in the spring of 178d Our worthy forebears had not spared the .\lotlier Country's pocket in their zeal for defense!

Mr. Gordcn Taggart, Saskatche- wan's Minister of Agriculture and now foods acmlnlstrator for the Wartime Prices and ‘Prade Board was speaking about the price ceil- ing as lt affects. the faivner when I dropped in to the Convention Hall. He contended that the prices now paid for faint products gen- erally. with the exception of wheat. are fair prices in relation to any standard that can properly be set up and explained the powers of the board and procedure which will be followed. The Federal Minister of Agricul- ture. Mr. Gardiner. was the other speaker and 11.12 chairman was a Mr. Hannam frcm Ontario who gave one the impression of being a prett strong character, well able to han 1c a mee-zirg and calculated to look after the farmers’ interests in a thorough-going manner.

And therein must lie most. of the credit that. can reasonably be taken for the extent of Canada's accom- plishments to date. But in the opening days of the session it dld seem to me that. the Liberal members of the House at. least were solidly with him. Yes- terday's debate showed something very different t0 be the case.
