W. JAMES, Editoz Membe: Audit Bureau of Circulations Conadian Weekly Newspaperu Association 4 a _ A Hearty Welcome ta Newfies Canadians are ready to extend a hearty welcome to Newfoundlanders as soon as it is possible for the oldest British Colony to become the youngest Canadian province. Newfoundland is a preud Island, rich in tradition, having itself enjoyed dominion status for many years. It will flot be easy forits citizens to see their country become the tenth province of a neighboring Do- minion. However, other provinces of Canada suff ered similarly in the past when they sacri- ficed individual independence for the sake of unity and the privileges of Confederation. Several hundred thousand Newfoundlanders elready live in Canada. For thin it will niean a cementing of their loyalties. Thousands of Cen- edian lads spent the war years in Newfoundlend. They will be gled of an oppertunity to express gratitude for the hospitality received. It is good news for the whole world that two Christian democretic countries have been able to set eside their diff erences and their ancient disputes in favor of unity and to accomplish the saine by the use of the free ballot. The two countries have inuch in common. By building on what unites instead of emphasiz. ing what divides, they may together be able to set an example for the rest of the world. It is up to individual Canadians to make the welcome real by expressing interest in Newfoundland as they meet lier people. The business mren will have their part to play in seeing that commercial declings are on the square, se that the Fishing Interests of British Columbia do not conflict with those of the Fishing Fleets of Newfoundland. The Pulp and Paper Milis of Ottawa will undoubt- edly give consideration to the Pulp Mills of Cor- nerbrook; Halifax Harbour will have the role of frïendship rether than that of rivalry with the great port of St. John's. These are the things we must viork for if we expect our new sister province to help us build the Canada of our hopes where "God shall have dominion froin sea to sea' Pioneers Win Praise-Their Example An Inspiration In this issue of The Statesman we call atten- tien particularly to an item of. news that should hold quite a bit of inspiration for the younger generation. The feature story lias to do with the pioneers of Eldad Church in the Solina dis- trict. Anether story in last weeks issue was an - iteresting reflection in the correspondence froin The Cove, Bowmanville Beach. Each of these r pay tribute to the grandparents who built up the facilities now enjoYed in the community. Public services in Elded United Church wîll commemorate the moral and meterial contribu- tions cf the early members who laid the founda- tiens for its vigorous survival. It is a very fitting observance. An equelly inspiring ser- -vice could be held at the beach wliere numerous children and aduits spend their summers in hab- itations long since built by grandfathers and fathers. The young people of today will get a -better appreciation of citizenship througli obser- vations cf this kind. As For Party Platforms Party platforins, itlihas been cynicelly ob. -served, are meent to get in on. It seems to be true in toc many cases. The idea is recommend- *ed to those real Liberals who are disturbed ever what they regard as too many Sociaist ideas in the platform adopted et the recent Convention. Th ey do net need to get too frightened. The Liberal Convention cf 1919 adopted e platform calling for complete free trade. Noth- ing much was done in that direction, and cer- lai nly no more than was done by other nations ,which lied been flot quite se genereus in prom. ises. In due course, the mystic eperations of the 'Foreign Exchange Control Board, which the or- ý;iary citizen dees net understend, but inistinc- 'tively suspects, ended in ai condition in which tlie Governinent clamped restrictions on the im- :port of ail sorts of goods froin the United States. Economists may differ as te the need cf this *policy, and argue whether il would or weuld net *be better then te have permitted ar free market in exchange of cuirency te eperate. The ordin- ary citizen dees flot pretend te be sure. Canadian Banks to be Seized By CCF National Govemmnent JNeiled te the mast et the recent C.C.F. con- Ivention in Winnipeg as a flaring banner cf C.C.F. pelicy wes the reseluticn te teke cver all Cen- edien banks once that party becemes the nation- al geverrnent. The vote, 94-56, fer the resclu- tien, ended the double-talk cf the Nationel Coun- cil cf the party, which firat caeeout for il, then hedged on it et the conventicn. The Council'. plan wes greduelly to ease it acreas te a prcp- egende-fed public. But the left-wing, Commun- Ist-ridden, faction carried the day in the con- vention and demended Russianization cf Can- adien benke. It wes e blew te the prefessers, preechers and teachers whe still remain the leaders and whc will have te defend the issue in the next election. Rural reeders have lied a teste cf this totaliterien method under the present Liberal governinent. It eutherized inceme tex bureau- crets te demend from farmers, full disclosure cf bank funds and savings deposit contents. Even the rent cantrel authority still demends te know what emounts tenants have on deposit in the banks. And the Foreign Exchenge Control Board stililieolds depositors' money in escrow in cer- tain cases. These remembered things, as socielist mnea- sures decreed by the Liberals, feli into insignifi- cance liefore the C.C.F. plan. Given pewer the C.C.F. declare they will teke complete control cf every dollar saved up by Canadiens in benk deposits. Every lienk clerk would become e digit in the civil service, every benk manager a rebot, subservient te a centralized, seciehîst hiererchy in Ottawa. Net a dollar could be loaned toa efermer seve by permission of a clique in the capital. Veters have the issue squerely before them now thet the C.C.F. leaders have been unmasked. The lianks cf this country have been the custod- ian cf funds se f ully protected under govern- ment reguletions that net a depositor could lose e dine under any circumstenccs. The lienks have loaned money wisely toe heip liuild up this country te its highest prosperity and t e lep es- tablish the highest standard cf living ever achieved. This is the kind cf structuie the C.C.F. now asks the people te overthrow et the polIs. A vote of thanks is due the communist elenient in the C.C.F. in having made aIl this plain. Poor Workmanship Reveals Many Complaints Conversations with meny people the pest few months have brought out the fact that poor workmanship these days in many lines of service end repair is fer lielow the standards t1hat were the vogue in eerlier limes. We have been pre- sented with facts covering six recent cases in six different lin'es ef business in which mechan- ical services or repeir jobs have broken dewn and lied to lie done ail over egain. And net only wes e top price cherged in the first place but an additional charge wes made for correct- ing the slip-shod work. We suggest that tbis sort of thing is lied business and "poor cricket." Even et our moderate age we cen look lieck te former days when oldtime workmen whe served a real apprenticeship of their trade, would neyer think of doing a joli without guar- anteeing it and if eny future defects came ta liglit the job was made good without any fur- ther charge. It was the pride of Old England that their craftsmen were the best in the world. Thet tradition came with the pieneers to Canqda. We could do with a goodly revival cf that tra- ditienal lionesty end pride. In a Nutshell Last week we had the pleasure cf foflowing e fittie custoin cf ours and drewing our reeders' attention te a new series cf advertisements. This week we do the same again. Lest we ek it was the C.C.F. governinent cf Saskatchewan adver- tising. This week il is the Canadien banka. We're quite irripartial that wey. The first cf the series entitled "The Best Banking System" carnies this telling peragrapli: "Contrast this Canadien way with conditions in lands where freedoin is denied-where every bank is a political tedl, every banker ai State officiel! State monopoly of banking, proposed by Socialists here, wauld faten the Marxist foreign pattern on you." In the lenguage of the street our comment wouîd lie: "Boy, yeu said it." In a nutaheli.

It captured every seat save two that went Liberal, two C.C.T. and one independent. The Progressive Conser- vatives didn't contest the election. With almcst 100 candidates in the field the Liberals and C.C.F. received enether biow as they did in Quebec. Observers have since been speculating on the result and the commen sentiment appçers te eeo e refreshing trend in public opinion boîli in Alberta and Quebec. FiraI, it is genereliy granted that bath these regimes gave good geverninent which the votera recegnized. Second, lioth governinents ae eut in laver cf the free enterprise ývs"'-m and ftr the fullest possible autonemy. No governient in Canada is more strongiy in favor cf frec on- terprise than the Alerta Social Credit party. But it lias ne more intreduced Social Credit then the attempt of the C.C.T. te introduce ils nostrums into Saskatchewan. Se the real test et the polis in Albierta shows that people laver seund govorn- ment ne matter whet the label. These issues in Albierta and Quebec. where the Progressive Conservatives stood aside, cuglit te supply e good lesson for the delegates seon toe assemble te choose e new leader for thet party. It seoins clear thet e national party coin- ing eut flatiy for free enterprise and provincial riglits would get q wide- right-of-wev eamonq people who have for so long been fed with specieus politicel propagande, ever trending leftward. The Lberaîs rnissed the boat et their cc"ventien. The C.C.F. bas just scuttied the farrn vote.

Whal Others Say LABOR 'VIOLENCE MUST END (Hardware and Metal) Rigid enforcement of the law ta prevent outbreaks of violence that have liecome cemmanplace in laber-management disputes is advecated editorially by Hard- ware and Metal. There bave been many instances in the past twe years, the hard- ware paper assets, where total dis. regard for law and order witbin the ranks cf strikers bas resulted in bodily barin ta nonstrikers and wanton destruction te property. While recognizing the right cf laliar to strike, autherities charg- ed wîth tbe maintenance cf law and order must see te it that strikers respect the laws cf Can- ada. Healiganism cannet lie tolerat- ed and strong enforcement of the law wiil prevent tbis action frein spreading. Stiff penalties sbeuld be applied where strikers are cenvicted. Adequate protection should al- se be given empieyees whe want te work. Picke ting is lawful, but the rough and tumble tactics em- pieyed mn saine unes are definitely uniawful and sbould be stePped. Canada bas tbe necessary laws te curli gangsterism of tbis sort, and there is ne more urgent prob- lemn facing the authorities today.
