CIIARLOTTETOWN, wnnnnsnnr, JUNE 13, 1952- The B. 0. Election

As intimated in our news columns yes- tcrday, only eight seats have been decided in the first count of the British Columbia general election returns. The election was held last Thursday and the remaining forty seats will not be declared until-the count of the second ballots is made on July 3. Results in these forty seats showed no candidate could win on the first count.

In the meantime, notes the Globe and Mail, "nobody can make head or tail of the results. Whethcr British Columbia has moved left or right, what policies it has voted for, what sort of Government it is likely to get are, as Mr. Churchill said oi" Russian policy, riddles wrapped in an enigma."

The election is a bad advertisement for the alternative or transferable vote, a sys- tem which invites the voter to mark 1, 2, 3 and so forth instead of a straightforward X on his ballot; but it reflects pllhaps still more on the folly of the old-line party leaders who believed, or professed to be- lieve, that all they had to do to keep the CCF out of office was to form a coalition. "It never occurred to them," says the Ott- uwa Journal, "that all such a coalition be- comes in time is a loose sort of party in itself, a group of opportunists living on ex- pedients and with no aim but to keep them- selves in power, this inevitably bringing to the surface all sorm of groups of political crackpots, with resulting chaos."

It is evident, from the meagre returns, that there will be six parties in the new House and all of them, unless second choices cause a big upset, will be minor- ities. What this may lead to, apart from another election, is anyone's guess. Condi- tions of this kind have been the inevitable prelude to the breakdown of efficient par- liamentzfry systems in Europe. Let us hope that British Columbia will be more fortun- ate, and get rid of its multiplicity of groups before it is too late.

Vlliero'er You Walk '

In a recent issue of the Montreal Gazette, a writer dilates on the benefits of the now fast becoming lost art of walk- ing. An old citizen declared the other day that people are in danger of losingthe use of their legs. He still has the use of his, and at a very advanced age. He. doubts whether younger generations will be able to equal him.

"When his neighbors say that they saw him going out for a walk the other day, he replies that he goes out for a walk sev- oral times a day. And it is true. He has his morning walk, his afternoon walk and his evening walk.

"What worries this old gentleman is that he seems to be walking more than anybody else. All the younger people he knows do not seem topwalk at all. They ride, crushed to death in a streetcar. Or else they drive in cars of their own, and only use their legs to step on and off the gas.

"No doubt what this old citizen says is quite true. In these days so much has to he done so quickly, people do not seem to have the time to walk. It is too slow. But in keeping off their feet as much as pos- sible, they may not only be damaging their health: they may be missing One Of the greatest pleasures and solaces of living.

"Now that summer is back again and it is good to be out of doors, perhaps the art of walking might be re-discovered. In the longer summer evenings, or on the longer summer week-ends, it might be a good thing to try a long walk and find out what it feels like to move upon one's own legs.

"lf Izaak Walton thought of fishing as s contemplative occupation, even so is walking. It also is 'worthy the knowledge of a wise man! And walking has the ad- vantage of a. constant change of scene. It is motion, but motion without strain; it is change, but change without suddenness; it has a destination. but not one that can be hurriedly attained; it is under the' bound- less sky, but it is bounded by the pleasant limitations and mlleposts of earth.

" uroly of walking it may also be said that it is on employment for idle time, so that time is not then idly spent. It is a rest to the mind, s cheerer of the spirits, in diverter of sadness. a calmer of unquiet thoughts, a moderator of pensions. a pro-

- (mu--of an occupation that

l -you,

not only that it strengthens the muscles and. stimulates the liver. It teaches the peace that lies in patience. The regular movement of the legs, step after step, soothes the nerves wonderfully. Though the distant landmark seems always far away, let the walker keep to his own even pace. He will reach it, all in good time. And how fine a thing this is to learn, for those who think no place is worth going to un- less it can be reaclied quickly. .

"Not only is it most natural for man to walk, but it brings him back into touch with nature. The walker is one who notes the shape of the leaves along the roadside and the bend of the trees before the wind. As Wordsworth wrote, even the very stones on the road becomes significant to the walker as he passes them on his way. The changing of the sky, the movement of the clouds, and the transformation of the whole landscape under the altering light as the day moves through its cycle-all these things are the events of his journeying. They become more meaningful to him than all the clamorous events of the noisy world. They are the great events of Nature's life and hours, and, as with his walking, they have the rhythm of steady and unhurried purposes. ,

"And when the walk is done and the evening comes, how pleasantly does the memory hold the mingled images of the sun and the road and the trees, and the rise and fall of the hills, and the lengthen- ing of the shadows. And he who falls asleep after his walk knows how deep is the health of peace.

"Those who have learned again the pleasures of the road for the wayfarer know how true was the understanding of the writers of the old days who likened life itself to a day's journey, with peace at the last."

Ordinarily a decline in carload ship- mentspfrom Borden would be a cause of concern. The drop of 663 cars in May, however, compared with a year ago is mat- ter for congratulation being wholly ac- counted for by reduced shipment of our all too scarce wood resources.

An increase of ,88.9 per cent in borrow- ing in this Province under the Farm Im- provement Loans Act indicates that our farmers are becoming more aware of the provisions of the Act. It also indicates that they take an optimistic view of the prospects for agriculture.

No Grand Jury was summoned for the present Queen's County sittings of the Supreme Court. Their summoning was dispensed with as there were no criminal indictments on the docket. The general functions of the Grand Jury, which are wide in theory but very limited in prac- tice, are considered sufficiently provided for by a minimum of one sitting a year.

The trustees of the Prince County Hos- pital must be more than encouraged by the generous initial donations from the firms of R. T. Holman Co. Ltd. and M. F. Schur- man Co. Ltd. to the Hospital-completion fund. Under the capable chairmanship of Mr. Austin A. Scales, the campaign is head- ed for outstanding success.

Under the British Agriculture Act, the government is permitted to remove a poor farmerfrom his land on grounds of bad husbandry. In 1951, 70 farmers were so re- moved, and in February of this year 1,588 farmers were under supervision, of whom 1.014.-had been under supervision for more

"The Manchester Gusrdlsn" the other day spoke of the "sorry puz- zle of Korea." And certainly the events of the past: few weeks have created in many minds a sense of confusion, in feeling that the situ- ation is more confused, less clear cut than it had seemed.

There has been the endless dragging on of the cease-fire talks when 9. cease-fire had been confi- dently t t months ago; and therefore a growing apprehension that there may at. any time be a resumption of full scale hostilities. There has been the unfortunate business of the Koje prisoner-oh war camp and its apparent reper- cussions on the question of the exchange of prisoners. And lastly there has been 'thc disquieting spectacle of a struggle for power in South Korea between President syngman Rhee and the assembly with suits disturbing possible im-

plicstlons. The result has been a puzzle- ment. A certain confusion of

thought of which Communist pro- paganda has been quick to take advantage. These immediate hap- penings have diverted attention from the larger issues. Many of us it seems to me are failing to 'see the wood for the trees, for some rather ugly trees which are tending to block our vision. a . 0

But the real issues, the real pur- poses of United Nations policy, are precisely what they were when just two years ago the Commun- ist. North Korean Forces began a "well-planned concentrated and fullscale invasion of South Korea." The phrase is that used by the United Nations Commission in Korea. South Korean political quarrels, events on Koje Island and the deadlocks at Psnmunjong are not unimportant. But they

Most people are not ambitious. They do not want. much. A mag- azine cover brought it to mind. it showed a spotty cluster of little people before a small town hard- ware store. They were all intent on onion sets and screen paint. lawn mowers and cabbage plants. You could feel the spring sun- shine, smell the chicken feed and the fresh earth. And that is what people want. A little place to live in peace. and puller in the gar- den. They do not want parades of 40,000 soldiers or mass meet- ings of 11 million ant-people to show the world some mono- manlac's idea of what he thinks ought to be in their minds. Every time we see one of those pictures showing a Vast sea of people gath- ered together at somebody's or- ders. we wonder how many of them are really . thinking about onion sets.--Guelph Mercury.

The gentleman in Just a hit an- noyed that he did not open the camp in little earlier this year- alone. With his wife, he drove there last week-end. The doors were opened to air the place, and while he started working on the windows, his wife was checking the kitchen. Suddenly from the kitchen came an excited. "George!" George hurried into the cottage. Spread in his wife's hand were several bills, ones and n five. "There's 27 dollars here", the lady said. "it was under the sugar tin." "Migosh," the husband said. "That's mine from the poker party with the boys last Fall. I remem- ber putting it there when I chang- ed my clothes."

"Do you hove?" instead of "Have you?" is becoming firmly embedded in North American speech. It. is now found, indeed, in the written word--in novels and other publications. "Do you have any cottage cheese?" "Do you have monkey wrenches?" Storekeepers must be sick of the do-you-hovers, although, after all. their money is just as good as that of the "have you" clan. The "do you have" business seems to have started in the States. Noyv Can- ada is steeped in it, too. But 'in neither country does the store- keeper reply I "do have" cottage cheese (or monkey wrenches). Language is always on the move, but. sometimes it moves in strange directions. one of which is the substitution of "Do you have?” for tshe simple "Have you?"-Toronto

United Nations policy, in Korea set out in I series of assembly resolutions has a wider objective. That wider objective is "the cstsb.

of a unined independent and democratic government of Korea." But. it should be noted that the assembly resolution or February 1st, i951, after reaffirm. ing the determination of the Un- ited Nations to ontinue its ac- tion in Korea. to meet the aggres- sion” goes on to reaffirm that "it continues to be the policy of the United Nations to bring about 3 cessation of hostilities in Korea and the achievement of United Nations objectives in Korea by peaceful means."

Here then are and have been the aims of all U. N. action. First (by the use of- armed strength since there is no other way) to repel the aggression and prevent it from succeeding. Second, to restore peace. And thirdly, by peaceful means to achieve the establishment of a unified inde- pendent and democratic Korea.

. . .

That programme of action re- quired that military operations should be continued at full pressure until there seemed to be an opportunity for negotiating a cross-fire, which would at once secure the main military objective and open the way for negotiations to secure the political ubjectlves by "peaceful means". That: op- portunity scemed to offer itself last summer and was immediate- ly seized. It is certainly not the fault of the U. N. Government! or of the U. N. Command that the cease-fire talks have been so pro- tracted as to arouse doubts of the good faith of the Communist Command in accepting General Rldgway's offer.

It now requires that every effort short of the violation of some i dsmental principle shall be made to break the Panmunjong deadlock. It. requires that all military I preparations shall be made for a possible renewal of hostilities by the Communists, either before or after A formal breaking off of the cease-fire talks. And it requires the taking behind the lines of all measures that may be necessary for the safety of the U. N. troops and for the efficiency of their military

preparations.
