Monday, June 13,1927 TAKING STOCK OF PEACE RIVER The Alberta Government is taking stock of the Peace River country with a view to be in. a position to provide exact information in regard to the district in connection with proposed railway building. This information will.be available to the Dominion Government and also to private companies. Possibly the Provincial Government might do the same for the Ideal parents are those who train their children to be independent of them. Look at the birds and cats and take a lesson from them. COST OF LIVING HAS FALLEN , The Canadian price level has dronned verv considerably dur ing the past year, according to official information being given out by the government and through the banks. This of course affects the cost of similar in Canada to that in the United States, j While this is true there seems to be a' distinct revival in business, according to bank reports and also according to President Beatty of the C.P.R. This is all very satisfactory and It seems as if the country was in for a period of prosperity. If all the recommendations of the Smithers Convention were acted upon at once, the provincial debt of the province would be doubled before Christmas and the . transportation companies ruined, declared a sceptic when he read the account nf the Associated Board of Trade doings In Saturday's News. CONVENTION AT SMITHERS The convention of the Associated Boards of Trade at Smithers last week brought to light how immenne are the demands of the whole country from their governments and how impossible it ia to supply to carry on through another session or two of the Legislature. There I are plenty of good men who are capable of carrying" on the affairs i of the province. The difficulty, if any, is that the present cabinet is an all-star aggregation and there is no one man outstanding as to be the general choice of tjie Legislature. However, when a choice is made, the new Premier will be accepted and followed loyally. In the meantime the Premier is reported to be regaining his strength and Will probably Carry on much as usual during the next sitting of the House. . Someone wants to know what Is an anti-climax.

Interest atached.to the annual meetlnj I of the Canadian Historical Association held here recently, and the agenda dts-r closed fk conscious regard for the con ! stftutlonal signposts of Canadian his tory. Thus.' beginning the series of historical papers. Prof. D. C. Harvey, Unlver slty of British Columbia, outlined the part which arly efforts for union among the'Marltlme provinces played In helping to bring about Confederation. "The Marltlmes, honest dupes of their own enthuilasm as much as misled by promises from Canadian statesmen, and disappointed with the realities of Confederation, put their faith In England as sure to enforce 'fair playV but like other minorities before them, they found that Imperial governments, like God, are on the side of the big battalions," he said. He concluded with a plea that the promises of the time should be In part kt least, redeemed, as a means of correcting the depression now prevalent In the Maritime provinces. Professor Harvey's-paper provoked a lively discussion. REVIVAL OP IHKAS Professor P. J. Cnderhlll, of the University of Saskatchewan, who took as his title "Some Aspects of Upper Canadian Radical Opinion In the Decade Before Confederation," devoted himself to analysis of George Brown's "Globe." His thesis was that the present progressive movement on the prairies represents an unconscious revival of the ideas of two generations ago, when Upper Canada was still the "frontier,1 and the "Intelligent yeomanry" of what is now Ontario fought the battle of the "plain people'' against the big business and especially the railway octopus of Montreal.

Judge tioway, of New Westminster, B.C., in his paper described at length the financial situation In British Columbia which led .to the federation of that province wlth the nascent Dominion, and illustrated the petty and sordid motives which dominated at least 'some of the advocates of union.

Without condoning the insurrections by Rlel, be affirmed that no one except Rlel com bleed popular support on the prairies with the opportunity to protest, and described him as the predestined victim of a great Idea, viz.. the extension of free local government to the vast expanses of the west. In the discussion which followed Professor Martin's paper, W. L. Grant asked whether the attitude of disapproval by the Colonial Office, with, which the original proposals for Canadian Federation met. was prompted by the Indiscrete and unwise provisions suggested in a memorandum proposing a union in South Africa, presented to them. Each district' has its pet scheme and considers it the onlv ! the colonial Office at the same' time one of importance in the country. The delegates to Smithers seem - to have arrived ench prepared to advance that scheme and the con-, 4, vention endorsed it. If the convention had had the raising and spending of the money of course it would have acted quite differently. That is the difficulty with all bodies that have no responsibility. However, it is a good thing to air these views and we all want to see the roads built and the other work done as part of the building up of this great territory through which the Canadian National Railway runs and the adjacent territory up and down the coast. t.
