Dominion and Pro- eincial purposes, will be dield in Hen- sel on Monday June 16. The speakers for the afternoon will be Mr. W. Ken- nedy, M. P. P., of Windeor, anr Mr. W. Proudfoot of Goderich. Delegates to attend the Liberal conventions at Toronto and Ottawa will be ppointed at this meeting and. it is urgently desired that a full attendance of the Liberals a the riding be present THE CAUSES OF UNREST IN CANADA Social and industrial unrest is be- coming so pronounced in Canada that even the Dominion Government is forced now te take' account thereof. This speaks volumes for- the dimen- sions, the igrave dimensions, weich this unrest has attained. For the Gov- ernment has for so long closed its eyes and its ears to all except those things which it wanted to see and hear that the clouds must be black in- deed, and the rumblings loud, for it to haie awakened at length, to a re- alization of the fact that a storm is upon us. But to -day the sleepers at Ottawa,. if not fully awake, are yet finding their shuribers troubled and broken and fitful. It was so easy for the Government to take the line it has taken for so long. It was so easy to say that what was happening in other lands had no leseon for us in Canada. The comfert- able, false doctrine was preached that conditions here were so g-ood that dis- negligible factor. Government spokes- emitent among tthe workers was a men gasre thanks to heaven that Cane adieus were not as other men are. All the time they were whistling to keep their courage up. They seemed to have. believed that they had only to prophesy these and similar smooth things often enough for their predic- tions to come true. Of course,, all along they were living in a Fool's paradise and deceiving only them- selves. Canadian workere are not - differentfrom the workers of other countries -save that they are more patient. But even their patience has its To -day it is exhausted. They are saying to those in authority, "Enough of this foolery."They are say- ing it in tones of meaning and almost of menace, and the words are making the Ottawa slumberers turn in their sleep. First and foremost ainong the causes of industrial and social unrest in this country, we unhesitatingly put the high cost of living., and particularly of food, It is this which has roused a- mong the great mass of the workers a temper of exceeding bitterness. It is in tate homes of the people that the most seriouskind of unrest; takes its rise. The problem of how a man with a family is to feed and clothe that family on a weekly wage of anything less, than $23 or so has become a well- nigh insoluble one to the worker in Canadian cities and towns. Yet we believe that we are right in saying that the majority of manual workers in the cities and towns a this coun- try do not get any $23 a week all the year round. It is when tae working - tan sees that he cannot give his child - en a sufficient quantity or quality of food that the iron enters into his soul. This is what is happening in many thousands of homes in Toronto and elsewhere in Canada to -day:. Wages have not risen in proportion to the cost of living. The increase in the cost of living, and especially of food, has been wholly outrageous and unwarrantable. Of all the egregious. failures for which Union. Government and its predecessor the old Borden Government. have been responsible, we hold that its failure to keep the cost of the people's food within reason- able 'dimensions has been by far the worst. Moreover, it has been ab- solutely gratuitous. Whatever may have been the case in geonitrias which are not self-sustaining ire the matter of their food supply, there has been no excuse whatever for the price 'of Practically every article of diet reach- ing the preposterous figures it has done in. this country. For Canada is self-sustaining, and more than self- sustaining, in the matter of its food supply. It iS, aa we often hear it proudly proclaimed, a land of plenty, the "granary of the Empire," and so on. Yet in June we are paying 60c a pound for better and 55c a dozen for new laid eggs. Cheese has recently gone up again -woe believe it did so on the very day the Government an- nounced its intention to reduce the coat of food. We pay about a third as much again for bread as they do in England where much of the bread is made from Canadian wheat Bacon is 50c a pound. Beef and other meats are nearly double their price four years ago. Potatoes are 50c a peck, when five years ago we could buy a whole bag for 90.c. Margarine is mere than double its price in England -39c. a. pound here, and 16e a pound there. We are urged to eat fish. Yet whitefish and trout, which the Pro-. vincial Geverrunent was going to make so cheap for us, are 20c a pound and over. Halibut is 32e a pound, a- bout double what ought to be its price. Lake herrings are 14 or 15c a pound'. It is the s-o.me thing all along the line. It is utterly out of the question for a family to get .normal nutritive Meade of sufficient variety except at almost the coat of banquets. As we have Said, the whole thing; is utterly gratuitous. We care not whether it is the producers, the wholesaler'the retailer, or the middleman, or it'll of them put together, who are getting swollen and nson)r,stiroas. profits. We maintain that it is on the shoulder of the Government -that the responsi- bility 'tor the, scandalous food peices ,obtaining in Gana& to -day, and which have in greater. oe Tess degree, ob- tained all through the period of the war, rests. For hard on five years now, the Government hasbeen urged to do its- Manifest and elementary duty to the consuming public. But such cotuisels have fellers on deaf, dull ears. The Governmcnt, in this matter of the food supply, has sown the wind. To -day it is surprised that it is reaping the whithltind. Within the last week or two it has come out with a promise to reduce the cost of food. Why ia such reduc- tion more feasible now than at any time within the last three years or so? Is it not rather because it is becoming apparent even to the Gov- ernment that the unrest which is so evident en every side ie largely, per- haps even mainly, attributable to its own slackness and selfishness with regard to anything like efficient price - control of food? For ourselves, we have pointed out, before now, that the Government of a great food -export- ing country such as this had. a duty to the Canadian consuming public as well as to our allies among the bellig- erents. That duty was to keep down the cost of food to the initabitants of Caeada. If -necessary, price -control could haVe been accompanied by some system of rationing,in order to guard against waste here a food urgently needed overseas. But, at any rate, there was nothing to prevent the Gov- ernment allocating a sufficient supply of food for the use of the Canadian consuming public and fixing prices for the same, leaving the =allocated surplus to be competed, for in the markets of the world. Had this been &Me earlier, we are confident that industrial and social -unrest would never have assumed the proportion it has come to assume. Late in the day though it is, we have little doubt that the Government would be acting wisely in institeting a vigorous sys- tem of price -control of food forth- with. -Canadian Statesman. COMMERCIAL AEROPLANES With daring aviators es;saying the huge task of flying across the Atlen- tic and Private companies advertising „flying machines for sale, it is worth while to observe some, of the present aspects of aerial navigation and re- view past achievemeets. The subject of the possibilities of aviation after the war as already -been occupying imich attention. Much skepticism is indulged in by those who know little of the subject, but the advocates of its great possibilities are almost daily adding to their claims and as Well to their numbers, as the public isbecoming better in.- . formed. There are the mail, the express, and the passenger service. There is for- est ranging, sheep ranching, seal fishing, coastal patrol and the realms of sport. The possibilities- of aerial service for surveying and for ex- ploration. are .preesing forward for recognition. The mail service has already been established, as we know, between a number of places. Official mail has been conveyed to and fro between Paris and London, • twice daily, for the past wear and more. Rate tables for passenger service between these two cities have been published. They establish an operating cost .of about '.$1. .00 a mile for a machine built to carry twelve to .twenty-five passen- gers from one capital to the other in three and a half hours. These heav- ier than air flying machines are hone enough that this transport will be further developed. Service between Paris and St. Nazaire was established last August. The distance between the twe places is about 250 miles. The service be- tween Paris and Nice and Rome will shortly become regular. For mere -than a year planes have been used in MOTOCCO for mail and special de- spatches between various, posts, and this is to be extended to Algeria. Other -established services are now operating between London and Edin- burgh, between Scotland and the Irish coast Italy and Sardinia, Rome and Turin, Marseilles and. Nice, ser- vices in Holland, services in Scandi- navia, the service between. Washing- ton, Philadelphia and New York is now operating so successful that the original; charge of tweinty-five cents an ounce has been reduced to six- teen cants an odrice. It is interesting to note that official committees which are considering air routes reckon that New York will be just two day sail from London. That London to Bagdad may be tra- velled in one and a half days. Con.- stantinople an Petrograd will be only about twenty hours travel from London; while Ceylon may be reach- ed from London in two and three- quarter days, and Sydney in five days. A careful computation of the cost of a service between London and Marseilles and to Rome, providing for twenty-four machines and operating six machines each way daily, shows that it would involve a capital ex- penditure of 1500,000 and a yearly maintenance of about $600,000. At this the cost works out at forty-one cents a ton mile. The machines on which the calculations are based are Haney -Page, equipped with .2,300 horse power Rolls-Royce engines, cap- able of non-stop flights of eight hours and of carrying a revenue paying load of no less than 4,000 pounds. This year I expect to see a flight across the ocean between the Irish Coast and Newfoundland, where, near to St. John's, large a,erodromeg have been in preparation by the British overnment. We have in Montreal the credit of inaugurating the first official mail service in Canada. This was in last June'when Captain Peck, of the RoyalRoyl Air Force, in a Curtiss biplane carried a bag of mail from the post- master in Montreal to the postmaster in Toronto with authority from Ot- tawa, and with all! the other marks on it necessary to make certain a its official character. This was accam-: plished under the auspices of the Canadian Division of the Aerial league, of the British Empire, In forest ranging the saving to the country and to the lumber interests will be immenae, as one machine can range the foreit for fire patrol and far other services more efficiently and with greater speed than may forty men as presently employed, and at a cost much below that of present me- thods. Natural landing places for this service, which will employ sea- planes, -will be the innumerable lakes scattered throughout our forest regions, It ie laimed by those having -good alata at hand that passenger and ex- press service may be maintained be- tween larger centres of population profitably and at 4 cost not, or 'at -least very little in - excessof the present' rates by rail or boat. The saving in time alone will warrant the establishment of this oommercial en- terprise. Hard 1\leaded men of means and btlstness etnterraiise are showing anxiety to go into the busines,s of manufacture of aeroplanes and of es- tablishing such services, and are willing to risk their dollars- in the venture'. The Aircraft Manufacturing Com- pany of Canada (working rn con- junction with Mr. Holt Thomas and his interests in England) has been incorporated and will commence operations in Montreal, this spring. The Canadian Government is waking up to the possibilities- and advantages of aircraft: The Canadian Recon- struction Association is now consider- ing the best meanse and. it is likely, as in Great Britain arid in the United States., that a National Advisory Committee will soon be appointed by the Government from among those in- terested in aeronautics to assist itt an advisory capacity on all subject mat- ter submitted to it, and we shall soon have laws enacteci to govern the traf- fic in the air and franchises will be granted to responsible concerns, Air routes have been suggested and will soon be officially , established and aerodromes and landing plaeee are planned for a number of points, and at an early date we shall have com- plete links from ooe.sn to ocean, to Hudson Bay, to the Yukon, and to • Labrador and. Newfeundland. Help -will be given for the outlet of grain from our Northwest by the Hudson Bay, by aviators flying over the sea, pointing out by wirelese, the passages through the ice floes, thus. saving much time for steamships, and redecing risk and loss. The redac- tion of insurance rates Axle in con- sequenee of the establishment of a proper service for this purpose will eventually more than effset the entire cost. . One man in the Western States. used a flying' machine last year in connection with his sheep rang.hing, and says that he saved at least 5,000 sheep 'during the winter, which under the old conditions would have per- ished before they could have bean founcl and rescued., For a period of three months last summer the British Government, as an experiment to determine the cost and practicability, used the same ma- chine, a large ;Handley -Page, between England and France, malting two trips daily in each direction. This it did carrying an average of sixteen passengers on each trip, taking over to the front flying officers for service and returning with others going on leave. It never once made a poor landing or had an accident. I do not know the figures, but am informed that the ceSt of maintenace of this service was most satisfactory and encouraging. We read in the newspapers only a few days ago that four army aero- planes were flon from San .Francis- co to Washington and to New York, taking in the elapsed flying time only some fifty-three hours for the entire journey of about 4,000 miles. En route, and as part of the object of the trip, the flyers made selection of suitable' landing grounds to assist in the establishment of one of their pro- posed national air routes. I noticed also An newspaper reports that a similar trip had been made by three army" machines from Texas northward to a point .near Detroit. The universities are akeady looking to aviation as a regulitebranch of education and instruction Several of the leading universities • have had money given them for the purpose and are considering establishing. pro- fessorships of aeronautics, for which I may instance the lUniversity of London. McGill University, although it has not so far had any donation or grants to assist it, is establishing a course of lectures on the subject, and these will commence in the fall of this year, 1919; and the University of Toronto will do the same.
