The Cause Determined

Confirmation that it was anthrax of which the three horses llcar Roseville died will come as a shock alld yet in some meas- ure a relief to the public. Unlike foot and nouth disease which is caused by a virus,i Anthrax is bacteria-caused. In fact sonle ofl the pioneer work in bacteriology was the anthrax bacillus. It is deadly but cani be prevented by inoculation or simply byi

. avoiding contact witll the diseased animals

or their products. 1

Fortunately the outbreak does not seem- lo have spread beyond three farllls on the northwestern shore of the Provincc,i and the control measures taken should pre- vent it's doing so. No one seems to know how the infection started but at least a possibility is that an infected carcass drift- ed ashore and the disease somehow got into the animals' fecd.

While scare-mollgcrillg is never to be re-p commended, the public generally are level- headed enough to prefer facts,to wishful thinking. They are less likely to object top precautionary warnings than to resent any; Attempt to keep dark the existence of; trouble. In this case, now that the facts have been determined, the authorities may count on the fullest co-operation of all our farmers and tllcy, in turn, will expect to be kept frankly informed of further develop- ments in a matter of such vital concern to themselves and to the Province.

cultural Windfall

The ideal in foreign trade and monetary exchange is to have all currencies freely convertible for any other currency, if not for gold, but ”blocked balances” are not wholly an evil. At any rate Canada pro- poses to make use of her credits in France, and The Netherlands to make a real con-i, tribution to Canadian culture.

It has long been a weakness in Canadian education that while creditable efforts have been made to provide some sort of scholastic I training for the greatest possible number of students, great scholarship has not received anything like the encouragement that it deserves.

The present proposals start where the general education system has cllded ill al remarkable attenuated group of Masters of Arts derived from the great but sharply de- clining mass of those subjected to primary, secondary and university education.

Now. thanks to world currency diff- iculties. some of thosc who have attained a reputation for outstanding scholarship may receive the equivalent of 324,000 for twelve months advanced study in the arts,

In reviewing the past years operations the commission notes as significant that the upward trend in committals to the peni- tentiaries, which raised the inmate popula- tion from 3,362 on March 31, 1946 to 4,740 on March 31, 1950, now appears to have been hailed. The increase during the past year was 77, which was more than account- ed for by the admission of a large group of the Sons of Freedom sect of Doukhobors. during the summer of 1950. This is a de- cided contrast to the two previous years which saw the population increase annually by 374 alld 515 respectively. inmate pop- ulation at March 31, 1951 was 4,817.

The general percentage of those relaps- illg into crime after their release from pen- itentiary for the year 1950-51 was 39.008 per cent. This compares with a percent-

year 1949-50. The percentage for the latest fiscal year on which figures are available (1950-51) includes six recidivists in New- foundland and 30 male Doukhobors at Brit- ish Columbia penitentiary. If it had not been for these two factors the percentage of former inmates of penitcntiaries relaps- ing into crime would have been somewhat less in the year 1950-51 compared with the percentage in the year 1949-50.

That Canada would buy a new aircraft carrier from Britain for some 80,000,000 of cheese is regarded as a real proposal in London according to the Ottawa Citizen.

in his annual report as Commissioner of Penitentiaries. Mr. R. B. Gibson points out that the introduction of the new penal pro- gram with its particular emphasis on in- dividual treatment and rehabilitation, seems to be obtaining results. lie believes this is clearly reflected by the improvement in the prisoners' behaviour. Vocational training in the penitcntiaries appears to bc partic- ularly helpful for the inmates who take tllc courses.

"It is significant that since the vocation- al training programme began at the end of 1947, eighty-five per cent. of the grad- uates, or those who were on courses when released, have not again been in trouble with the authorities. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 1951, the percentage is 95.6 of non-repeaters," the Commissioner report- ed. Vocational courses are in operation at the Dorchester penitentiary as well as three other penitcntiaries in Canada. Collin's Bay, St. Vincent de Paul, and the Prince Albert Penitentiary in Saskatchewan.

Four hundred and twenty-eight inmates were registered on vocational training courses in the four institutions providing the courses during 1951-52.. Disposition of these trainees was as follows: 147 or 34.34 per cent graduated; 29 or 6.78 per cent non- graduates released; 66 dropped from courses through disability or lack of interest. and 1M continued their courses. During the fiscal year 1950-51 a total of 190 inmates, who had graduated from the vocational training courses. were released. Of that

total 80 or 75.41 per cent were placed in emplowmuii. one graduate, was hospital-

One provision allows all newspa- 1 pers, books and magazines mailed from one country to another to enjoy a 50',h reduc- tion in postal rates, regardless of sender. This concession was previously limited to publications mailed by publishers or their agents. Another ensures that rates for ;publications sent. abroad will parallel the ifavourable rates for publications posted within a country. A third amendment al- lows literature for the blind to be mailed free of charge.

Britain has weathered another erisis- this time in her livestock industry-and it must have been with great relief that the British Minister of Agriculture announced recently that the restrictions iniposed be- cause of the widespread epidemic of foot and mouth disease in' England were being removed in a dozen countries. At no time, apparently, was there the consternation shown in Canada when the disease made its appearance in Saskatchewan, resulting in an embargo imposed by the United States on agricultural imports from the Dominion and measures taken by certain provinces to ban the movements of meat and cattle from the affected area. The epidemic in Britain, much more serious and involving far heavier losses, was dealt with calmly and provoked no political or other recrim-

TEMPERANCE PROPOSALS I

Petition to the Legislative As- sembly, Feb. 25. 1B6, from the Rev. Abraham V. G. Vi'iggins, on behalf of the delegates of the different Temperance Societies of this Island. assembled at Char- lottetown on the 24th lnsi.:

"At the meeting of the said. dclcgatcs. it was resolved in ad-I dress the House. praying for its

countenance and assistance to put down and abolish the degrading and demoralizing vice of drunken- ness. That the said delegates have remarked that most of the liquid poison which is vcnded to the community issues from shops li- censed to sell in quantities less than one quarl; and they are per- suaded, that if the retailing of spirits were confined to taverns. duly qualified by law. a great check would be given to this cry- ing evil.

"Tllcy humbly suggest. that a change in the nlodc of granting licenses to taverns is highly dc- sirable. and that none should be licensed unless recommended by the Grand Juries of the respective Counties.

"The sllid delegates also slig- gesl. as an improvement. that Iavcl-n keepers should be compel- led to enter into securities, to keep orderly and decent houses. They are also of opinion lllat a fax upon stills used for the pilr- pose of distilling ardent spirits would he of great service to the cause of Temperance. They are also of opinion that keeper: of Jails should on no account he suffered to sell spirituous liquors, this being an occupation totally lit vllrinllcc with their duty n: guardians of those who have in- fringed the laws of the land."

(This petition led to the amend- ing. at the 1806 session, of the Act relating to licenses for retailing strong nnd s ious liquors.)

Sovielildiiiff At"Tiirmltu

(Montreal Star)

The International Red Cross con- ferellcc in Toronto is making a mess of its discussion of Soviet charges that the United Nations have practised germ warfare in Korea. The charges are nonsense and every sensible person knows it. Yet. the demand is now coming from sundry neutl-lllist sources that. an ”impxu'tial body" should be set. up to carry out. the official investigation which has never been held.

If the Red Cross really believed in itself. it. would stand pal. for all investizaticll by its own Internat- ional committee. The Soviet have said it will refuse to accept that. body's findings. so Belgian: and Indians have joined in n suggest.- lon that. another "impartial" body should be chosen. The only "im- partial" committec which the Sov- iets would accept. in one whose members are acceptable t totthem. What. degree of 'timpart.lnlit.y" such I body would have. we leave to our readers to guess.

At the very best, the proposed committee would bring in two re- ports, one supporting the Soviets, the other supporting the U. N. It would be useless.

But what is astonishing about the Toronto debate is that the Sov-! let. proposal should be seriously en-' tel-talned. Either the Red cross be-1 lievea in the bom. fidca of its owni lntcmotionpl Committee. or itdocs not. If it does not. it. should fire the lot out and appoint others in whom confidence can be repoaed If it does believe in the present personnel. it must. support. it- whole-heartedly. and, if necessary, tell the minority which refused to do so. to set out of the conference.

As things stand now, the soviet delegations must be well planned. They have disrupted the Toronto proceedings by their tactics. they have found one more world plat- form from which to repent. their fnntutlo ” el, and they have now reached the stage where they -re demoylnx the prestige of the Red cl-on organization by persuad- ing at lent some of the delegate: that. its international committee
