The developments of the past week have caused us to wonder ' eral be deaf end dumb politi Rocky Mountains is a great economic victory for British Columbia. For many years, British Columbia has irked under and protested against this discriminatory differential. It had seemed at many ' times an almost forlorn hope. Now the Transport " Board, at long last, has seen the justice of this western province's contention. To Attorney General G. S. Wismer and his staff who argued the case before the Board with such evidently convincing success congratulations are due on their long hoped for and truly climactic accomplishment. Of primary importance and benefit to the province is the removal of the differential cn freight shipments. It means a saving after July 1 of twenty-five percent on haulage between the Pacific and the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The existence of the differential has long been a handicap to shipments of products East from the coast and likewise a hardship adding to the cost of commodities brought from the East to the coast.

Clarkson, farmer er Hamilton, Ont., hcv.T. v,-;th the aiiim!, says tne calf is reddish brown, unlike the mother's black and white color. The head is furry, rounded tn top, and the horn buttons are further back and higher than on the head of a normal calf. "It doesn't bawl like a calf; it doesn't make any sound at all," Mr. Clarkson says. '"It runs like a deer and wants to Jump all over the place. Even the hind legs are crooked like a deer."

As you know, our "party called a nominating convention for April 18 as the Liberals had taken similar action previously. Also, we appointed a committee to meet the Liberals to discuss is therefore, with extreme regret that we take our next step which is essential if we are to protect the interests of the anti - socialist portion of our community and call a nominating convention.

We cancelled our convention by notice in your paper of April 16. It now transpires, Mr. Editor, ARE YOU ON LIST? j -THERE IS just one more week up to next Mon-' I clay for citizens of British Columbia to make ' sure that their names are on the voters' list for the June 15 provincial election. It should be understood that there is no automatic registration. Because one voted in the last provincial election does not .. mean that he or she is still on the list. For some months there has been a deputy registrar actually canvassing for names but, in spite of that, there are r believed to.be many citizens whose names are not on the list. During recent days, it is reported that no small number of people who had been sure their names were on the list have found, on checking, that they were not. Since a primary function of citizenship is to exercise the franchise, it is being suggested that every- body ascertain definitely that they are actually reg- istered. It would be better to be sure now than sorry later. The registrar of voters, who is the govern- merit agent, has stated that his staff is being detail- ed to concentrate in the time intervening between -now and the final registration date May 2 on the answering of inquiries of citizens as to whether or ' - not they are on the list and to register all those who are not- While the electoral authorities are doing everything possible to ensure that everybody qualified is on the voters' list, it is after all the personal responsibility of every good citizen to see that he or she actually is.

As any one can see, the result is a deadlock and we deplore having to take this step which is utterly foreign to our ideas of co-operative action. We respectively suggest through your columns for apparently we cannot reach the rank and file . of Liberals through the usual channels 1 1 h a t a Coalition convention To do this we had to spend a lot of money. We sent men ranging over fhousand'' of square miles in the search for new oil fields and we found new oil. We built -new ships . . . new pipe lines . . . new refining units . . . new marketing facilities . . . and a host of other things. Again last year we spent more money than wy amed, but it was an investment in Canada's future as well as our own. j We raised most of the money we needed by borrowing and by selling some of cur majof investments; the rest was earnings put back into the business aftei , paying dividends. J On the year's business we made a profit of less than a cent a gallon on products old. Thtsomounted to 4 and 9lOths cents out of each sales dollar we received. ' It was a busy, successful, interesting year. When it began we were sometimes hard pressed to meet all your needs; when it ended supplies were assured.

The nationalists have been ; for sometime concentrating capital, airplanes, man-t power and industry there. If the Formosans consent to this influx of high Chinese officials, the island may become a center of nationalist influence eventually seeking rcognition as an independent country. It might join the Philip-pies and provide financial and technical aid to. that little country, now embarked on a perilous adventure in extending western influence to the orient. It -;might even help organize a new nation of the United States of Asia, with perhaps Japan, the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies as members. History has done some strange things to the worlds maps through thrars, some of them even as strange as this. should mean something entirely different. Properly set up, both parties should appoint an equal number of delegates without instruction, and an election take place in a manner to be determined by agreement between the two parties and in accordance with democratic principles.
