Atlantic Provinces Economy On Tuesday Economic Council meets in Halifax, the

Premiers, their executive assistants and representatives of industry joining in a

common effort to better conditions in thc'

four Provinces. What they are faced with is the problem of maintaining existing in- dustries in a healthy state and of encour- aging the establishment of new enterprises

ing successful. .

Unfortunately it is the first problem that demands immediate attention. Light and heavy industries in these Provinces face difficult conditions and in some cases have been closed out. Everything possible, therefore, must be done to keep existing industry in a healthy state, by the supply of sufficient capital. efficient personnel, adequate transportation and access to mar- kets.

The key to successful competition is, of course. low costs. It is necessary to pro- duce at the lowest possible cost even if it

: means the consolidation of individual plants which are too small to take advantage of the economies of mass production. Mechan- ization must be applied wherever it will re- sult in a cheaper product even although the first result is a reduced demand for labour. Inefficient industries will soon not be em- ployers of labour at all.

It is transportation, however, which will attract the main attention of anyone study- ing industry in these Provinces. The revolution in highway transportation and the possibilities of the St. Lawrence sea- way must be exploited as far as possible to the advantage of our economy.

It is too early yet for anyone to say with certainty what good effects, if any, the Salk vaccine against poliomyelitis will have on scientific research into the causes and control of that disease. A full report on the 650,000 American children who were given the injections a few monthsago will not be made until next Spring; it is safe to

say that never in the history of medicine,

has a report been awaited with more eager- ness and interest. One fact, however, has been established: the vaccine is perfectly safe. This is news of the utmost import- ance in view of the fact that two other vaccines which were developed in the nine- teen-thirties did more harm than good.

A tentative report presented at the re- cent International Poliomyelitis Conference in Rome gives the cheering information that all the scientists present at the meeting ex- pressed the belief that the new vaccine will work. At the same Conference it was

announced that. thus far, the tests have

gone according to plan, with nothing to suggest failure in the experiment, although on the other hand there is nothing to guarantee complete success. From another source, the National Foundation for Infan- tile Paralysis, comes the encouraging news that gamma globulin, a temporary deter- rent, promlses to be more effective than was at first thought. Taken together, these two reports give rise to renewed hopes that the end of one of the most formidable scourges in human history is near.

"This Is A Ilnlversltyl"

Dr. Sydney Smith. president of the Uni-.

versity of Toronto, rarely speaks on edu- cational matters without contributing some- thing of value and inspiration. On Wed- nesday he addressed the students and staff at the opening of the University's fall term. Thg following excerpts from his ad- dress need no more light than their own to read them by.

"Every scholar." said Dr. Smith, "is at

s-.:

lng which you are entering transcends na- tional boundaries. . . . This is a University. an inheritor of the dialectic of the classical I academies. the dedication of the medieval 'collegia generalla'. the exhilaration of the Renaissance. the rationalism of the Cartes- lans. the revolutionary ferment of the 18th century. the scientific and technological learning of the last hundred years, and the development of social science in this pres- ent century. Thus, in this new world into which you have come. there are strands surpassing time which link us with the ages past, as well as the strands transcending space which join us to the other parts of the world. . . . ' "All of you, whatever your age may be. will be accorded the courtesy of being 0' as reasonable, intelligent human I We expect from you, as from all

u

l I

ing, a nign standard of human relations-a particularly keen sensitivity in the domain of Obedience to the Unenforceable. This is a community in which positive law is sel- dom invoked. We depend upon the self- discipline of the members of the University in order to carry on our work."

Dr. Smith went on to show that this function of the University in developing human relations on a high standard is of paramount important in world affairs. "One of our most distressing problems," he said, "is the prevalence of fear-fear of war, fear of oppression, fear of insecurity. Fear is cradled in ignorance and nurtured in isolation. It has the power to cloud men's minds and paralyze their ambitions. It is self-perpetuating; it leads to irrational act- ion, which increases the nervousness of in- dividuals and nations and makes their situ- ation progressively worse. .

"Courage imparts the spirit of adventure

which will have a reasonable chance of be- l to men and nations. ' ' I we applaud the

spirit of physical courage, whether it be manifested in conquering Mount Everest or swimming across Lake Ontario. We ap- plaud intellectual and spiritual courage. Recently it was written of Winston Chur- chill-that he displayed that courage which is a man's deliberate refusal to shirk from saying things he feels to be true, even though no one would comment on his, fail- ure to say them. It is something more than sincerity: a man can be sincere in every- thing he says and yet take care not to say anything which will disconcert his poten- tial supporters. . . .

"We will all need courage in order to cope with living. Our paths will not have all the bumps ironed out for us. Dangers ,and risks, conflicts and crises, tensions and frustrations cannot always be removed or resolved. They have to be faced and con- quered. . . "

LIGHTING FIRES IN COLD - ROOMS

Sir,-It was Earl Grey who said about his father that he had spent his life all over the British Em- pire lighting fires in cold rooms. What a beautiful life that man lived? It has been my privilege to know many men and women who spent their lives helping and cheering others. l.e., lighting fires in cold rooms. There came into our community last week a man who had not set. foot on P. E. Is- land for sixty-one years. I remem- ber him vivldly as a child of seven, how kind he was to me In first days I came to school and these were lohely days, how he taught me in play ball. putting the bat in my hands and throw- ing me easy balls. "George" ever since that day. seventy years use. has been living that some helpful, cheering life. -

My friendships have been most- ly among students. As I look back I remember my professors more gratefully than I did when they taught me. How much do I owe to men like Howard nnd Archie! But our fellow-students were dear to us. The Joy of returning to college in the ,autumn was a thrill I cannot forget and the stories of events and people kept us from our beds. I had a Negro friend. I-Ils color did not matter to me. He was a friend and I loved him Is :4 brother. He was a teacher and in school. in church and as a neighbor. his whole life was spent in kindly deeds. Toward the end of 1915 I returned to Trinidad alone, hav- ing seen my wife buried in P. E. Island. It was a big house and a cold one for me. for my child- ren and their mother had been there. Night after night my Negro friend came in and that friend- ship warmed ur my h0m9- 50 does friendship always do.

Here is I piece of poetry I quote from ii not very good memory that seems to fit in here:

"I shot an arrow into the air.

It fell to earth, I knew not where: x For, so swiftly It flew. the sight

Could not follow it in its flight.

"I breathed a song into the air.

It fell to earth, I knew not where;

For who has sight so keen and strong '

That it can song?

"Long, long afterward, in an oak.

1' found the arrow, still unbrokc;

And the song. from beginning to end.

I found again in the heart of A friend." '

And thus it often happens that I kindly song sung in the night

follow the flight or

a friend will long be gratefully remembered.

-The second Assembly of the World Council of Churches bu pound into history and. almost everything that could be written about it,hu been written. Recent- ly. however, I ncolvod I copy of the turf. of tho Iddtou dellvorod by Methodist Bishop Bromley Ox- iiam at the opening service. and it occurrdd to me that some of the readers of this column might be Interested ip some of its con- tents.

Dr. Oxnlm. who in in charge of

s the Washington area of the Meth-

odist Church, occupies a promin- ent placo in American Church circles: he is considered! to be an outstanding preacher and he is an author of lame repute. He has been a, member of the World Council Presidium Iince its for- mation in Amsterdam in 1948 and is generally regarded as I. leader in the Ecumenical movement which concerns, directly or in- directly. every religious group in Christendom. o o 0

Al was Almost inevitable in such a gathering, Dr. 0xnam's address was concerned with social and political issues of the day; all related, of course, to the speaker's interpretation of.Chrls- .tlan theology.. which happens to be in the Liberal tradition. A ,good part of the address was de-

voted to the responsibility of Christians to resist totalitarian- ism whether of the Fascist or

Communist variety. (It is becom- ing increasingly difficult to see much difference between the philosophy of Nazi Germany and that of modern Communist Rus- sin.)

"A: Christians." said Dr. Ox- nnm, "we must repudiate the as- sumption that the state has the right to determine the philosophy to which every individual must give assent. Together we reject once and for all those theories that command people to conform or di and that an-ogantly af- firm: but dissent in treason and deviation is disloyalty." That was an obvious slap at international Communism which, of course, al- lows no room for either dissent or deviation. But it was also a slap at that ltrnnge undemocratic political aberration which some- times goes under the name of "McCarthyism" but which had taken root some tlnie before Sen- ator McCarthy appeared on the scene-the theory that any out- spoken and sustained criticism of majority political opinion Is a sign and taken of disloyalty to the nation's constitution.

There Is little doubt that Sen- ator McCarthy. perhaps uninten- tionally. made this sentiment into a demngogic instrument: but most American political analysts now appear to believe that its real cause: went much deeper than that gentleman's political ambl- tlons. Perhaps It had its roots in the hysteria which came upon the American scene when it be- came clear that Communist in- trigue had entered into the coun- try's defense apparatus.

Anyway. reports now are that it is subslding, that public opin- ion has begun to sense its poten- tial danger to the whole concept

If that in nu. he will do just as well. or even better, in his spirited campaign against Communist, infiltration. and the United States will gain in respect among her friends and allies who have feared that Am. ericann were bent on opposing totalitarianism abroad. while en. couraging it at home.

Concerning the oft re view that the Churches Eligitilg "keep out of politics". Dr. oxmm had this to say: "It II not enough for Christians to iepudiate gh. atheism of Communism, reject a philosophy of materialism, and repel a fallacious theory of poem development and an abhorrent concept of dictatorship; they mus, also renounce the practical ath- eism that lies in the affirmation that God in not relevant to .11 the activities of men". He gp. pears to believe that, desplzg gh, inroads of materialism, greater moral advance has been made in business and industry. "Respo... sible leadership in business and labour. pledged to the moral px-in. clples that lie at the heart of the Christian faith, regard themselves as men upon whom heavy obllgg. tlon has been placed". he said. "A man who would corner the when mlrket Wdly would not be called

a genius; he would be called a. gangster.” One does not have to accept

any particular doctrine of 3)., nature of the Church to app:-9. clnte this paragraph with which Dr. Oxnnm concluded his adage", "The Christian Gospel is not found in Adam Smith's "Wgiim. of Nations" nor in Karl Marx's "Des Kapital". It is to be found in Matthew, Mark. Luke, and John, in the Acts of the Apostles, The Epistle: of the New Tuts- ment, and in the vision of John in the Apocalypse. It is to be found in tho Hebrew prophets, in the lives of saints and martyrs. in the service of faithful people, and in the continued revelation of God."
