The Grand Alliance

During its relatively brief lifetime the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has de- veloped froni a rather modest affair into something which borders on a grand al- liance of the free nations of the western world. its operations extend from Alaska to Algeria. An attack anywhere in this area on any of the twelve NATO partners is to be treated as an attack on all. Its organizing genius and driving force in the military sense is General Dwight Eisenhow- er, with headquarters in Paris. '

NATO is now faced with requests from two countries for membership. Greece and Turkey both want to come in under the North Atlantic umbrella. Acceptance of their applications would extend the oper- ative effect of the treaty eight hundred miles eastward to the Middle East. Their admission would add 400.000 Turkish fight- ing men and 123.000 Greek soldiers to the present Treaty Organiitatiori forces of 4.- 700.000 men.

Both Ottawa and Washington appear to favor the entry of Greece and Turkey into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Views in both capitals suggest that re- fusal to include these two middle eastern Mediterranean countries in NATO might re- suit in a weakening of their will to resist Soviet pressure. and that they might fall victim to the ”peaceful" domination of the i(i'emlin.

Thus far. liowcvcr. American efforts to secure the entry of Greece and Turkey into NATO have been balked by the smaller European members who see in their admis- sion a possible diversion to the Mediterran- can area of the arms and ammunition pre- sently being supplied from this continent.

it would be unfortunate were any such

shortsighted attitude to prejudice the ad- dition of more than half a million trained fighting men to NATO forces. Military ex- perts still agrec that. in the event of a sud- den Russian land attack in western Europe it would be extremely difficult to maintain a fighting force on the continent. Under such circumstances, the ability of the west to attack Russian territory both by land and air from bases in the eastern Mediter- ranean would be decisive. Such bases al- ready exist in Greece and more especially in Turkey. it would seem the better part of wisdom to do nothing which might tend to lessen their availability in time 01 need.

Anti-Dumping Duty

ll lias been made quite clear by Mr. Abbott that the Federal Government is de- .i,ermincd to reinstate. effective May 31, anti-dumping duties against British auto- mobiles. Thc duties in question are those which apply where it can be shown that the sale price of the product in Canada is less than thc price in the country ot origin.

In suspending the duties two years ago the Canadian Government offered two rea- sons which, says the Winnipeg Free Press, were sound then and are sound now. One was the British need of Canadian dollars. The": other was Canadian self-interest; the autonrobilcs represented a good bargain for people in this country and met an import- nnt consumer need. It is now said that the "temporary condition" of those days no longer exists. Admittedly the British dol- lar reserve is much stronger than it was: nevertheless the people of Great Britain still require the proceeds of dollar "sales in order to finance purchases in this country. The Canadian interest in purchasing Brit- ish automobiles is at least as strong today as ever it was. -

"At the present time", says the Free Press, "the Canadian people are engaged in a struggle with powerful inflationary forces. The essence of inflation is a short- age 'of goods. A policy which makes low- priecd goods available is therefore a con- structive anti-inflationary policy. Yet the - Government ignores the inconsistency of its position and chooses this time to reinstate anti-dumping duties, which mean. of course. higher automobile prices. It is argued that

the majority of low-priced British auto-,

mobiles will not be affected. This has nothing to do with the principle involved. By taking this action the Government merc- ly weakens its own powers of resistdnoellt the demand is subsequently made for the imposition of duties which will have more serious consequences."

Father Peyton left by plane for Hal- ifax yesterday at the conclusion of a suc- cessful Rosary Crusade. On Sunday in the two Provinces of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia formal inauguration of the restoration of family worship will take place, and previous to this some 1,600 lead- ers in the two provinces will visit R. C. homes with a view to stirring up renewed interest in the repetition of the Rosary at

What is the most entertaining chapter in the Bible (not that the Bible exists for entertainment)? asks "Janus" in The Spectator, and answers his own question: "There may be a stronger candidate than the seventh chapter of Proverbs, but if so I shall be surprised." Let our readers turn to their Bibles and judge for themselves. The text is practically the same in the Authorized and Douay versions.

Minister of External Affairs Pearson is reported to have said to Pres- ident Aurioi of France that no newsprint could be diverted to France because of ex- isting eontracts, but he expressed hope for some pooling arrangement "before long.” Commenting on this report, Editor & Pub- lisher says: ”Canada finds it hard to for- get that once the crisis is over, the United States will be the only country buying

Canadian newsprint.” I

All Canadians old enough to be able to talk will be asked this question: "What did you do mostly during the week ending June 2, 1951?" Three columns of space have been reserved for the answers. These last, are expected to range all of the way from a monosyllabic ”worked" to "with a job but not at work", "looked for work", ”going to school", "keeping house", "retired and vol- untarily idle", and "permanently unable to work". A few citizens are expected. for one reason or another-none of them clear- to reply "other". Whatever the answer. the enumerator will go on from there to pry loose the details.

According to a Reuters Agency report Scotland Yard is taking special precautions at Buckingham Palace after receipt of anonymous telephone calls that six Irish- men plan to invade the King's residence. A squad car is patrolling the reads out- side the palace and two police dogs are on night duty inside the grounds. The telephone calls were made to the Yard, which has been investigating Irish ex- tremists since a bomb was thrown at the British Embassy in Dublin last week. At the same time leaflets were scattered threatening the King and Queen who were due to visit Belfast next week.

It all dcpcirds on one's appreciation of service whether one wins out or not. Mrs. Elizabeth Macpherson speaking in a BBC programme of her struggles to run a farm after her first husband died, says: "I had a frightful time for a year and then my luck changed again with the coming of 8. grim young man called George who coupled an inexhaustible fund of disapproval of my methods with an extreme efficiency. For four years he served this confounded farm with never a day off. 1 once timidly sug- gested a holiday but he didn't bother to reply. Then the children took mumps and. worse still, so did I. George continued to serve me with devotion and I felt on my recovery that such an idiot should win his

own deserts so I married him."

HELP FROM OTHERS

Sir,-A friend of mine, I under- stand, wishes to know who writes my letters for me, or helps to compose them. in reply I would say that I am indcvbtc(l to quite I n-umlbc-r for help. I'll mention a few, such as the ones that edit the, "Calvary Evan-gel”, an dcnomin-atinal magazine in New York; also those readers of it who

I well remember last year's niccting in Bedeque because the Rev. Mr. Templeton was there. Coming to the two o'clock session. he sat until routine was gone through and he was introd-uced by the chairman. Having I scat at the front for the purpose of finding out by sight or hearing the secret of his magnetism. I first noticed a vigorous sipeclnjen of manhood, and a wonderful face. as he came forward and faced the people. I heard, such as he. de- scribed as one that held the four best cards in the pack. He told us first of all, why he had come to our Island-to urge us all to lcl..God work through us. to al- low Him in use us as channels of His grace and power.

in his first few sentences he laid on the table his best. "card". I knew then the secret of his success in attracting eager listen- ers. to as many as six thousand at once. This was the same old gospel. ”Work out your own sal- vation . . . for it is God that work- 8th in you" . . . Phil. 2 and 12-13, or Ephesians 3 and 20. . . "Able to do above all that we ask or think

NEWFOUNDLAND TRADE

Sir.-Many congraiiulatlons are ”d1'.e our Premier Jones and his ,st.ron-g Party for their success in the last election campaign, but i with the return of the Government ,1 am curious to know what they -have in store for the betterment No! the Newfoundland trade.

Today the Eskimo and Welling-

ton Kent. boats were loading in lCi1ariOl'i0i0WIl. The Govem-meni. I owned Eskimo has practically quit Ihauling to the outporis. not be- .causc the Newfoundland Govern- linent or people tried to stop it,

but because of the terrible financ- ial loss. Now she is operating to lsr. John's in competition against ,lhe Wellington Kent which is . privately owned-so which boat is lgoing to quit: first? I wonder if ilthis is the last straw which our

Governunent is placing in the way of the Newfoundland trade. Time alone will tell-if that time is not too late.

I have 3. little bit of advice which I would like to pass on to our good farmers whose job it is 'to do the p-roducin-3, and some- itimes who have given all for lit- l lie in return; I would like to say fro them, and especially to all .mei'nbei-s of the Federation of lAgriculture (I am I district sec- lr-etary) that at no time in our l

history has the fact. become more areal that we must "Stand united I and organized, and direct our eyes to more and belzter methods of both producing and marketing." Further we must be proud and ,carcfnl of our organization and Igsec to it that it does not falter or tall .or become a political steam I valve. Regarding marketing. I wish to point out A small matter which I happened on three years ago. when ,we were hauling live poultry to ;Unlted States. In June of that year we had 11,000 cockerels in one building ready to market. Very unfortunately we were short 'of permits to the States. so had in do some local manketlng. On I Monday we delivered 500 to Charlottetown. Tuesday 500. and :on Wednesday another 500; but

on Wednesday afternoon we got another permit to haul to the States. So on Thursday night we loaded 2700 birds on a trailer which the Americans paid for in our yard. but. when we got. our check from Charlottetown for the 1600 birds we found that if we had marketed the load (iii-siier) here on the Island we would have been out 5.1-irzo. in a farmer's language this would be called the difference between making or breaking.

Now i have used much more space in The Guardian and put many people to a lot of extra work to have these small letters published; which I eventually hope will do some good; and I would like to thank this paper for the wonderful work they did on my behalf. and perhaps on behalf of a better Newfoundland trade.
