"The Strongest Memory is Weaker Than the Weakest Ink"

CHARLOTTETOWN, TUESDAY, NOV. 21, 1050 A Great Iiiiursliiiiaii Passes

The late Archbishop Kingston, Primate of the Church of England in Canada, was one of this country's most distinguished re- ligious leaders, and his death at the com- paratively early age of sixty-one will be very widely regretted. As Archbishop of i the Anglican diocese of Nova Scotia which 7 includes Prince Edward Island as well, he , frequently visited this Province and was I known personally to many of our readers. 4 - "' He was esteemed no less for his charm of T ' manner than for his scholarly attainments and ability as an administrator. In his preaching he continually emphasized the world-wide nature of the Christian church l as a living organism, and aligned himself

with every worthy cause in the further- ance of this ideal. He was particularly suc- I cessfui as a youth leader, and his work in this capacity, both in the Maritimes and in other parts of Canada, will remain an en- . during monument to his zeal and vision.

-I Aid Society campaign

The need for a Province-wide Childi-en's

Aid Society has long been felt, and now

that the Society has been organized on a non-sectarian and non-political basis it is

hoped that it will receive the fullest sup-

port and co-operation of all our citizens.

In order to perform the work required, it

, I is necessary to have the organization staff-

.” ' ' ed by professionally trained workers. The . objectives, as outlined in the press, are to i , locate adoptive homes for neglected and

i . i orphan children, to supervise the placing 5 of such children according to their needs, to assist unmarried mothers and their chil-

dren, to provide parole and probation ser-

l vices for juvenile offenders, and do other I . ' necessary child welfare work throughout

it the Province. . , The Society, which is under the pres- ”. I idency of Lt.-Col. A. W. Rogers, has launch-

' ed an appeal for funds, the minimum ob- jective being b10,000. The ten-day Cam- paign is now under way, and it is hoped that the response will be both prompt and generous. This is not only a worthy cause, but a very urgent and essential one. It represents an investment in human lives- ,not in far-off mission fields but right in our own community, where there is ample OD- ? portunity for effecting improvement.

For King and country

Patriotism is not altogether fashionable - today. Like many other virtues it has suf- : fered debasement by being used to furth- er other ends. Nevertheless true patriot- '. ism remains a virtue, whatever its pro- ,3 fession may be.

The patriot does not talk of his service to his country. He renders it. He does not adopt a bigoted, "My country right 01' wrong" attitude. Rather he works always for the real good of his own com- munity and nation, which cannot be achiev- ed by policies based on ignorance or folly.

The good citizen is he who looks beyond his own private affairs and takes his share of the general burden. ' Not all are called to do the same service. Some may find themselves called to fight for their coun-

try. Others may see the duty of taking active part in civic, provincial or national ' affairs. For most people, patriotism means . trying to make their own community a bet- ter, healthier and happier place in which to live. -

Iiiiiiilgratloii opportunity

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce believes--that world political conditions, our own potential but undeveloped natural re- sources and our strategic place in world "affairs, give Canada both an opportunity ,and responsibility in the matter of immi-

gration, according to a memorandum just released by the Canadian Chamber. Pointing up the fact that Canadian in- dustry has undergone a decade of unpre- cedented expansion and diversification, ref- ,'erence is made to the need for stepping up the tempo of Canada's preparations for de- ifence and, as a result, there are many op- x portunlties for both heavy labour and skil- lid artisans in the tremendous construc- tion program now underway, "We are now in the midst of the great- -est era of growth since Confederation," yststos the memorandum, Abart from in- dustrial ekpsnsioii,itiicre is ;a need for

p

ment. Calling Canada "the new Belgium of a divided world", the memorandum states that the 14 million people who oc- cupy our half continent are far less than what we need to preserve our national se- curity now and in the future.

Other arguments adduced to support the Chamber's policy are that Canada's governmental. communication and trans- portation systems as well as other servic- ing facilities were developed for a much greater population than we have today, and, similarly, the burden of taxation which has grown from our efforts in two world wars and from the cost of various

Reference is made to the fact that both Australia and South Africa have emphasized a strong immigration policy and that every effort must be made not only to invite immigrants but to seek them in Europe by means of a well-planned cam- paign.

And now it is proposed to have a Gov- ernment car ferry between North Sydney and Newfoundland. Probably in the course of time we will have an adequately subsi- dized ferry between here and Nova Scotia.

Judges must apply the law as they find it, even if it means that only a "fisherman" may be punished for having under-sized lobsters. Parliament can soon provide the necessary amendment to the law unless an appeal court first determines that the loop- hole does not in fact exist.

Prince Edward Island made a national reputation for support of a "Save the Chil- dren" drive some time ago when the chil- dren concerned were far away. Now an appeal is launched for our own children and should meet with at least as generous a response.

'.i'Uis'h'is'a'I-55'inN'i-i'5'iul'n'oSl'o'h'o'H'u'-' THE CRANBERRY SITUATION

sir.-Undoubtedly the economy of Prince Edward Island has. re- ceived a severe jolt this fall by the prevailing low prices of our principal farm crop potatoes. It is to be hoped that some measure of relief will be granted to the pro- ducers by the Federal Government.

Another old stand-by cash crop. particularly of King's County, is cranberries. For a few years prev- ious to 1949 while the embargo was in effect on American fruits, cran- berry growers received very fine returns for their crops. when the embargo was lifted last year pack- ages of berries from the New Eng- land states appeared in the groc- ery stores of Prince Edward Is- land. This immediately depressed the prices of the local product. I hope this will not be repeated this year. there are more than enough on the growers' hands to supply the home market.

It is the opinion of this writer that cranberries have never re- ceived the acceptance from meal planners that is their rightful due. solely on account of a lack of proper advertising and poor mar- keting methoch. generally. Prem- ier Jones hos often advocated de- veloping more cranberry bogs and proper cultivation. The Dcmirrlon Experimental Farm under Mr. Warren's direction maintains an experimental station at Blooming Point, where some very fine cul- tural work is being done. However that is of little use right now to the growers of P. E. I. who have probably got in the vicinity of 100 tons on their hands at the mom- ent.

An effort has been made by the Cor.-sum:-r' Cannery of Mt. stew- art to process a limited amount of these berries to partly relieve the congested market, But there again the difficulty is to sell to advant- age this excellent product as

Negotiating With Russia

(By Sebastian I-Ioffner)

some time there will have to be negotiations with Russia on great Questions which divide the world and an attempt will have to be made to compose these questions by agrrement if they are not decided by war. But, on the other hand, experience has taught the west that it cannot afford to sit down with Russians unconditionally at their bidding and negotiate with them on their own terms and in their own time about whatever they please. Reluctantly and with difficulty. the West has had to learn that when the Russians offer negotiations this does not necessari- ly mean that they desire agreement.

0 0

Thus, in 1945-46, long-drawn-out negotations about secondary Euro- pean peace treaties were used by Russia. to gain time in which to un- dermine the peasant and social democrat parties in Eastern Europe and install Communist dictatorship: In 1946-47 abortive conferences about Germany were used by Russia, goi- an attempt to drive a wedge be- tween France, on the one hand, and Britian and America on the other. The detailed story of Russia tactics at the Moscow and London con- ference of 1947 shows that this, and not any agieement. on Germany. was the aim for which Russia joined these conferences.

Finally, there has not been one conference since the war which Russian delegates have not abused by making propaganda ,eeches -which did in no way further the business in hand but were addqessed to some outside, audience. A classic- al example was provided on the 10th and 11th of July, 1946. in Paris when Mr. Molotov, having asked for negotiations on Germany, made a violently anti-German speech for consumption in France on the first day and on an equally strong pro- German and anti-Western speech for consumptlcn in Germany on the second day, and the western Foreign Ministers found that they had simply given two days of their

American processed fruit is flood- ing our Canadian markets.

Mass, "a good sup.-., ply of vitamin C.. some vitamin A highly available iron. iodine, cal- cium, phosphorous. copper etc., fruit acids and pectin." As ever!!- one knows they are pleasantly tart and in conjunction with chicken or turkey will not fail to tempt the most jaded appetite.

Island residents should insist on the local product, there is none 50 fine. Let's all pull together for P. E. I. prosperity.

It follows that if negotiations with Russia are to be fruitful”, the ground must be very carefully prepared be- fore the conference is joined. This means two things. First. there must be diplomatic preparation. The agenda must be clearly defined and mutual posit-

CIVIC STREET WORK

"In the last. year, a large quan- tity of gravel - a scarce and valu- able article - was thrown away by being put in front of the Col- onial Building to fill up the mud- dy hollow between the Meat Mar- ket, and Miss Fanning's lot, in- stead of taking away the crown of the hill in front of the Catho- lic Chapel, which would have had the effect "of grading. the whole space from Queen Square down to the water-side, the surplus earth from the hill serving to fill up the abrupt decllvlty below the pump at Ings' corner, and thus making the ascent from the water- side easy.

"A particular attention to these matters is becoming every day more important. The ends of two streets - Queen and Pownal are already occupied with whiirfs. and in the course of the summer, Prince Street will be similarly fill- ed up with the ferry wharf. It. will be therefore of. the utmost importance that the lntennediate one, Lower George Street (as it is the fashion to call it) should terminate in an inclined plane furnished, we should say, with a slip for the accommodation of sleds and sleighs in the winter, and boats in the summer. The late surveyor, Mr. Williams, complain- ed, and with good reason, that he had not sufficient funds for the purpose of making any perman- ent. improvement, but this is not the case with the city corporation; there will he therefore no excuse if in the course of a few years, our streets and squares are not in the first order."

ions must be sufficiently explcied by normal diplomatic means to make sure that they allow some hcpe of agreement.

Secondly. and even more import- ant, the actual situation under dis- cussion must be mature for settle- ment. Agreements with Russia ac- cepts-elther because she finds them favourable to herself or be- cause she finds herself powerless to alter them. Thus, the agreement about western access to Berlin proved possible. in Paris. in June 1949 after the Russian blockade had been defeated by the airlift: it had proved impossible nine months be- fore, in Moscow. in September 1948. when it was not yet clear whether the blockade. could be defeated.
