Are We Preparing?

One of the recommendations iii the in- tcrim report of the Advisory Reconstruction Committee appointed by the Provincial Gov- ernnient is n- this effect: flat an expert in the matter of siiall lziiitliiig ill'l(lS be employed to recommend ccrtziiii key loczitioiis in the Prov- ince that might at reasonable expense, be ar- ranged so that tourists flvLig Illcll‘ own planes could land ll‘- safety. “\\"e feel," says the re- port, “that there is every possibility of a con- siderable anioi irt of such ti-urist traffic devel- oping within a rcnsoiiulzlc period of time."

This may well prove io be a sound pro- phecy. lt is at any rate Ili line with a state- ment made the other (lav iii Halifax by a forni- er R. C. A. l“. flier, that to Nova Scotia al- ready lias come “the ilziv or the ilVlng‘ tourist." Already inquiiics about airfield facilities for private places are being received iii our sis- ter province. At least seven aiifields will be ready to handle the business there next summer, but more are I(’(]llll'€(l to meet the demand.

If this applies to NOVZ- Scotia, how much more forcefully should it zipply to our Island Province, “the Garden of Illt. Gulf" whose only handicap is its transportation bottleneck? If tourists are gong to take t0 the air in a big way, why should we not make ready to receive them? Let us hope that when the Legislature meets and the Reconstruction Committee's re- port is tabled. the Government will be able to show definite progress made in planning for this latest post-war development —— the flying tourist trade.

The Burns Anniversary

In few parts of the English-speaking world is the anniversary of Robert Burns permitted to pass wirhout observance In some commun- itics the annualcelebration of the poet's nativ- ity has been expanded into a Burns Week; and it is claimed that in his native Ayrshire, as soon as New ‘Iezifs Day is over, the Burns Nights begin, and they last until the month is out.

Nor is this unique popularity difficult to account for. Oddly enough, however, most peo- ple who write or talk about Burns sceni more interested in his life than iii his poetry. For one good essay on his genius, there are a dozen in- different scrmrns on his morals. Few writers, it is true, have so many aspects upon which it is possible to enlarge with reason and profit. Yet the essential fact about Burns is his poetry. That, really, is the "gowd"_ his career the guinea-stamp. And there is ample scope here for study, disquisition and eulogy. His satiri- cal gift, his love of nature, his knowledge of folklore, his lyricism, his humour, his patriot- ism, his politics, his humanity, his realism, his debt to his predecessors, his adherence to and departure from tradition, the condition of soc- iety in his day-all these things are reflected perfectly in his poems.

But how many really know them? How many of his most vociferous admirers, for in- stance, have read "The lolly Beggars"? Coars- er and more riotous than "Tam O’ Shanter", this is yet unquestionably one of his greatest poems; fit ro iank with Shakespeare and Ben Ionson. For those who prefer more decorous subjects there are “The Cottar’s Saturday Night” and “The Vision." There are songs to suit all tastes. and humane poems on mice and men, epistlcs and elegics exceptional in their p0int and force. Even that cathobcity of ap- peal (remarkubk in a man of Burns’ station) docs not bxhai-st the qualities of his genius. He ranks among the most versatile of poets.

For the: reason, perhaps, one must take with caution his argumentative masterpieces. “The Holy Fair", for cxa-nplc. is first-class satire; but because of its excellence as litera- ture one is inclined to juirp warmly to Burns‘ support in his personal quaricl with the Kirk of his day. To di. so would be foolish. For Burns, still in his only twenties. to scarify various rev- ercnd clcrgyincii in his neighborhood may have been the impudence ol genius; but it wasim- pudence all the same. The unfortunate min- isters, hcld no to the scorn and ridicule of the lges, doubtless had their fairts both as preach- ers and meii. but they were only doing their duty. The greatest of English historians has testified to tm. fact that the chiel influence in stabilizing the civilization of a disorderly Scot- land’ was the stern discipline of the Calvinist Kirk. iHsd Burns lived longer it is more than possible. that he would have repudiated his earlier diatribe; and exclaimed with Pope:

“Can't! be the llne, howe'er so well It flow The! tends to nuke one honest nun my foe."

But Burns‘ poetry far transcends his sat- In the assessment of poetry personal en- tnt of verbal or tecrnical dexterity and 8h reader's reaction to the poet's appeal to the or to the intellectual faculties are not the ‘glteris. Distinction has to be made be»

In keeping with their democratic dradition, British leaders have rarely been lacking in ap- preciation of the value of a free press. Speak- ing Monday night at the centenary dinner of the New Chronicle, formerly known as the Daily News, (a paper whose first editor was Charles Dickens), Rt. I-Ion. Herbert Morrison, Lord President of the Labor Government, de- clared a free press to be “the guardian and symbol of political liberty" He was followed by Field Marshal Alexander, Governor-General designate of Canada. Speaking for the fighting services, Field Marshal Alexander said: “We have got to realize that thc modern man today demands his newspaper and it is up to us to provide it in the same way as we provide him with ammunition indJatiniis."

Mr. and Mrs. James Gowing of Norwich will sail for Canada soon-thanks to a letter to the Queen written by Brenda and Beryl, their two evacuated daughters now living on a 25<>acrc farm at Courtlaiid, Ont.. with Mr. and Mrs. R. B. McCloy. Brenda, l3. and Beryl. u, went to Canada in I940 and liked it so much they found a iob for their father and a new house for the family. Mr. and Mrs. Gowing saved money for fares for themselves and an- other daughter, Hazel, aged I7, but permis- sion to leave was delayed. Then Brenda and Beryl wrote In the Queen about it. Mrs. Gow- ing received a letter recently signed by Lady Marion Hyde, lady-in-waiiing to the Queen, saying: "The Queen has received .- notice from the Home Offici- to say Mi. Gowing‘: and your applications lor exit berm"s have been grant- ed and that your daughter. who is under 18, will not require one." The letter expressed hope they would be able to obtain space on a ship shortly. Gowing, a factory worker, will be a foreman on the McCloy farm in Norfolk County, Ontario.

Tlie Prime Minister's announcement! that he hopes that it will not be long before all Can- adian troops are repatriated is something, says The Letter-Review, to make us stop, look and listen. It is an announcement that, after all the talk of the important part which Canada ex- pects to play in international affairs. we are not prepared to make even s small sacrifice in tang- ible efforts to restore and maintain the peace 0f the world. After this, it is very difficult to see how Canada can assert any fight to behesrd in international discussions on political and military questions. Our economic policy is con- siderably clcsrei, but fsr from beinl! either def- inite or realistic. Like the U. S., we seem to have in mind thstell that we have to do is t0 mske hsndsotne contributions to 1m fortunate nations; that, by pennitting us to exwrt our surplus of goods. these contributions will solve all the problems of restoring international coin- merce.

SOCIALISTB AND NATIONALIZATION

Sin-In order to scare our peo- ple ngnlnst contemplating any change In the oId-tlme social and economl order many Canadian newspapers are carryliig edltorlnls or re-prlnted artlcler bearing the captlon "Soclallsts Would Nation- ellze the Land". One of our Island papers confalned such an edltorlnl n Its Issue of January 19th. Thls edltorlnl argues that because "the Brltlsh Minister of Agrlcultura has warned the farmers of Brlt- aln that failure to cooperate In the Labor Government's planned agricultural program mlght mean the i-iatlonallzatlon of the land," therefore e 0.0.1". Government Iri Canada would follow the some procedure.

Let us take a look at this artlcle and we shall easlly see how mls- Ieadlng the whole charge is. But ﬁrst let me quote: “It Is best to remember that soclallsm Is soclal- ism no matter where you ﬂml "It. It Is n polItIcnI phllosoghy, predi- cated on ﬁxed socIaI ufl economic bellefs.

Certainly Canada wlll not need to consider such action for many years lo come. And In matters o! this klnd let me further point out that "be- llefs" do not necessarily require action. At present, for ample. we are Ilvlng under a prlvate ow- nershl system as opposed to the Socla sts’ system of collectlvlsm or public ownershlp.
