A. Forrester, Publisher Thursday, December 1st, 1938 Authoraftive sources states that Great Britain has decided: not to give France a 'binding guarantee to send a droll-scale expeditionary force to Europe should war break oiut, 'but that she would concentrate on the sea, air and also on supplies. Prance by not Standing behind Czechoslovak lost the support of that country to the tune of forty divisions, and now France is looking toward England to help» offset this fighting assistance. With England not guaranteeing a full- fledged support in the field, it seems that this will now save Canada from sending over and expeditionary force to take part in any Eur- opean conflict.. While in France last week Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain had a talk with the Duke of Windsor, and has granted him the op- portunity to visit again in England. The Duke is 'anxious to have his wife, the Duchess "of Windsor be called “Her Royal Highness.” Whatever happens, it is regarded as certain that if Edward goes to England with the Duchess, she must be accepted as royalty. This can be done in twentytfomr hours by the same process by which she was deprived of royal ranking at the time of her marriage. The cabinet plays the chief rdle in such action, although finally it must 8)6 done by royal decree, with the consent of the government. This has been the D'uke’s greatest greatest desire for the Duchees, and it would be a grateful way for all concerned if the Dbke went home for Christmas, either with or without the Duchess, provided the New Year’s honors list contained a measure regarding the Duchess as royalty. Shop At Home We have heard a great deal about loyalty to this Cause. It is only right that we should 'be loyal to our Country, our Church , or our party, but it would be a fine thing if we extended this loyalty to our friends and pur home town. When we live in a community like Orono with all its opportunities .and find it such a splendid abiding place we should be loyal enough to do our part to keep up its appearance and its good name. But there is another side that ought to be considered. We should be.loyal to out places of business. We can buy just as good merchandise and just as reasonably in Orono stores as any pther place near and far. All one need to be convinced of that statement is to compare both goods , and prices. Our mer- chants can supply, all your wants efficiently, and by buying at home you are dealing with friends, contributing to the betterment -of-your own community and creating a better feeling all around. At this time of the year let your purpose be, “BUY IN YOUR •OWN HOME TOWN.” Czech Farmers For Canada There are many thousands of English people who are very ser- iously considering at this time, the advisability of making their per- manent: home within the Dominion says “Canada’s Weekly.” Fur- thermore, the- eyes of literally hundreds of thousands of people in Central Europe are turned to Canada, and there would now appear to be a great opportunity in the hands of thèse responsible at Ottawa, to do something towards solving" Canada’s problem of lack of popula- tion by facilitating .the immigration of vast numbers from Central Europe. For instance, there are many thousands of the peasant far- mers in Czechoslovakia who are desirous of migrating uy Canada. These would make excellent, citizens and could bo settled in mixed farming areas .such as the Peace River district. It. is quite obvious that Canada does not want, to add greatly to her exportable surplus of foodstuffs,: but this, type of immigrant, could be settled in areas' where he - and .-his family could live off their farms, and become at once self-supporting. New Freight Rate The “agreed charge” section of the Transport Act was proclaim- ed this month and the Canadian railways now have an opportunity to compete on a more equitable basis with the trucks operating on the public highways. This now law which was passed by parliament last session departs from previous- Canadian freight rate practice in that it allows more flexibility than has heretofore prevailed1 in the rate structure. The old tariff remains, but where a shipper and the railway company can agree on a lower rate, it may be displaced. The pertinent section reads': “Notwithstanding anything in the Railway Act, or in this act, a carrier may make such charge or charges for the transport ox the goods of any shipper or for the transport of .any part of his goods as maybe agreed between the carrier and the shipper. ’ To prevent discrimination, it is proveded that the agreed rate must, be approved and published by the Board of Transport. Commis- sioners and it must be available to any other shipper similarly sit- uated. , ,, .. Purpose, of this section of the Transport. Act is to give the rail- ways a “fair break” in meeting the truck competition which baa been a major factor in the decline in their gross revenues. Owing to constitutional, difficulties parliament was- incompetent to control pub- lic' commercial'vehicles as it was held their regulation lies within provincial jurisdiction. The alternative to putting, truck rates un- der a federal schedule was the loosening 0f the rigid, freight rate structure and this has. now been done. Officia1 recognition of the “agreed charge principle is a new departure in rate making on tills continent but it has been tried recently in Great Britain where it is reported to be proving bene- ficial.
