[Other Editors Say l A fully planned conservation and expansion program would so boost the national income from production that many of the ticklish [problems awaiting settlement between the Dominion and the Pro- ‘vinces would be vastly eased. Some of them might even be elimin- ated. Provincial revenues from new assets arising trom Western ir- rigation alone would greatly enhance the ability of the three Prairie Provinces to meet calls on their revenue for education, to mention; one instance. The Provinces may feel that they are doing quite well within the limits of their powers in expanding their industrial activity. But many of the most urgent conservation measures are interprovincial. and some of them are international, in their scope. The Provinces cannot deal with these matters individually. nor is it desirable that they should be approached on a piecemeal, regional basis. They are inational projects in which the Dominion and the Provinces share a common interest and the promotion of which requires carefully planned integration. The forthcoming conference is the natural forum before which such issues should be discussed. The works themselves are long overdue, and any kind of progress toward a start in planning for the future would be most heartily welcomed. (Globe & nun It in disappointing to and that the agenda already suggested for the npproachmg Dominion-Provincial Conference does not include we” and means of co-operation in a national conservation program.

(London Free Press) The Red Dean has returned to his native Canterbury after an unimpressive speaking tour of seven Canadian cities. Speaking to the press on the eve of his departure from Montreal, Dr. Johnson reiterated his customary assertions about Russia not preparing to attack Western Europe, or using the atomic bomb. The Dean's tour actually had a greater value than he probably estimated. For while we had heard much about his fearsome political religion. we got to know him as no more a rather platitudinous, repe- titious. unconvincing old man. Possibly he made a few converts but he certainly exploded the notion that he was a hot gospeller and a top salesman for Joseph Stalin. Like the English soap-boxers in Hyde Park, in that other London. he stood up, said his little piece and went his way. . . _-__. .A an“... min-Ho tn have their It is always better in a say, so long as the audience sure what he says.
