- Mr. Shaw's Majority

We are pleased to note that the Premier-elect, Mr. Walter Shaw, has a more comfortable. majority than was indicated in the first official count,:in which an error in listing the Stanchel poll results deprived him of an additional 20 votes, leaving him with only|a 7-vote. margin. ~

There. is much to be said for

- party leaders, who have little time

to canvass their own districts per- sonally, being given safe constituen- cies. These men are needed, and carry enough responsibilities in an elec- tion campaign without having to

worry about being nosed out by a.

bacK pencne ve mean no orense

to Mr. Shaw’s opponent in this case, —

but there is something wrong with our electoral system when a few votes, one way or the other, can

y-embarrass an incoming-gev--

ernment. The return of both party |

leaders in this campaign should have been made easier from the start. our Liberal friends will net quibble ‘about it. We-wecall that Mr. Mae- | kenzie King—all-time Cammonwealth

~champion._ for tenure of office —as— Prime Minister—had once to seek a

safe seat in this Province. So did Mr.

:

Charles Dunning when he was ap-—

—pointed—_Finance Minister— by Mr. King; he ran here without opposi- ‘tion, and spoke very appreciatively ‘of the courtesy thus extended to him ~ by the Conservatives.. Colonel ‘Ralston, too, found safer harborage

| in Prince County than in his own native province, and we felt honored in having him as_ representative. These men helped write Canadian -, history, thanks in no small measure

to Prince Edward Island.

In Mr. Shaw's case, it has not

been necessary to de this kind of accommodation; he out in a hard fight. But we got a sc ~e when we saw those figures in yesterday's Guardian, indicating the likelihood of a recount and the possibility of a per- sonal defeat, despite his party’s_ success. It just wouldn't have made sense; and we don’t think the out- going Premier,-Mr. Matheson, will care a hoot whether he has eight or nine men in the Opposition when the Legislature meets. He'll put on a good show in any case—the best we'll have seen-in that quarter, no doubt, for many years. That. too is what the people want. We should have grieved just as much at his defeat—almost—as at Mr. Shaw's, ‘and for the same logical reason. ~

British Farm Research _ The annual report of the Agri- cultural Research Council, recent- ly published in London, is a mine of information on agricultural research in Britain. Particularly. interesting ‘to readers in this Province is an ‘article on potato research which describes a new method of potato planting under investigation at the Nottingham University School of Agriculture. Under this plan the sets are planted in a slight depression instead of in the traditional ridge— so that subsequent cultivations,

which are shallow, merely destroy -

weeds and build soil around the ' growing plants.

The value of a clod-free seedbed~

in making easier the mechanical har- vesting of potatoes in mentioned. This type of seedbed may be en- couraged, for example, by three-row plantings to save tractor inspecting of the_soil, or by the use of pre- emergence spraying which has the same effect by reducing the need for cultivations. There is also a des- cription of attempts which have . been made to control potato root eelworm, by exploiting that substance excreted from potato roots which stimulates the-hatching of eelworm ‘ cysts. ;

Methods used to determine the extent to which people in Britain are exposed to strontium-90 are describ- ed in the report. Two surveys are taking place, one of which deter- “mines expostite over™the whole of Britain of this. dangerous produet

Having been liberated at last, many of the ocean-going freighters were caught in Montreal harbor, and icebreakers had to battle for weeks, at the tax- payers’ expense, to get them all clear. There are good winter ports on the Atlantic seaboard, which have handled overseas. shipping since before Confederation. Govern- ment icebreakers are needed for oth- er purposes than for breaking canal jams. The Minister is determined that this will not happen again. If the ships are caught this winter in the Seaway, they can expect no help fromthe federal treasury.

Canada Is serving notice on the world that we really mean busi- ness_in our Arctic; impressive deeds are already implementing our dreams of Northern develop- ment. © 4

On October 31, our national fleet will be reinforced by the addition of the third largest ice- breaker in the world. On that day, Mrs. Diefenbaker will perform the _honors at the launching of the “Sir John A. Macdonald’ at the Davie Shipbuilding yard near Quebee City. This huge triple screw ship intended to clear our Arctic trade routes is only the first of several ships of the plar

class. }

Treasury Board approval has just been obtained for construc- tion of a second such icebreak- er, costing more than $11,000,000, to be included in next year's bud- bet. The significance of this pro- gram to strengthen owr Arcti¢e supply lines is underlined by the fact that the Prime Minister him- self will attend this first launch- ing next month, while Mrs. Die fenbaker will perform the cere- monial side of the launching. - WORLD’S FINEST PLANE

One major result of President. Eisenhower's journey to Europe may be a closer understanding of the new allied approach to East: West relations.

It is a matter of stvle ra than substance. It affects th manner and mood of negotiation

r

The basic problems. in the cold war are still there, but the West will keep on talking about the at every opportunity. '*

International diplomacy is to be kept fluid, in motion, partly \in the hape of gradually influenc- ing Russia toward a civilized for- eign policy, partly in line with Sir Winston Churchill's saying that “‘jaw, jav.” is bettep than “war, war.”

Eisenhower and Prime Minis- ter Macmillan are believed in broad agreement that Russia may mellow. History, it has been sid, holds the key to Soviet con- duct, and Eisenhower may have this in mind as he thinks of ways to end the four decades of Soviet isolation from the West. ;

NO PROVOCATION

In his visits to Bonn, London and Paris, it was noticed that the president refrained from speak- ing provocatively.

During his television broadcast with Macmillan he spoke of as- sociating Russia with moves *to help the 1,700,000,000 people in unier - privileged countries. He said:

“They are just going to have an explosion if we do not help them and the biggest co-opera- tive job of all the ‘world which calls itself civilized —: including the Soviet—is on a co-operative basis to he!p these people so that - they can achieve their legitiniate aspirations and that is a prob- lem which every one of us, must address himself to.”

Eisenhower's broad hint that Russia might be asked to co-oper- ate with the West in helping un- der-developed countries recalls that in recent years Norman Robertson, now external affairs undersecretary in Ottawa, has been urging that Russia’ should he associated with the free coun- tries in dealing -with a wide range of world problems.

EAGER ADVOCATE |. Macmillan is an eager advocate of the conciliatory approach. Looking ‘beyond present differ- ences, he is. understood to feel that Russia can be humanized. From his meetings with Nikita Khrushchev he received the. im- Pression of an obstinate, ruthless man. But he believes him to be — with whom the West can of :

dangers. In London The Daily

| Telegraph says the hazard ig that

slowly but surely the mood of re laxetion will sap away the found-

ations of diplomatic policy.

“The West will continue to re- iterate the old formulas, but with less and less conviction.”

In Paris, an opposite view ig taken by the weekly paper L’Ex- press. It is so enthusiastic about the detente that it feels the ‘‘very

air we breathe has changed.” -

China’s invasion of the Indian border areas is a much more sur- prising, as well as more alarnr ing, development, than the Chin- ese-sponsored rebellion in Laos. The Pekirg Government has made no secret of its ambitions in Indo-China. But why should ft attack India, a friendly and neu- tral country which has been its champion before the United Na- tions? a

An easy and superficial explan-

‘ation—and one which some peo-

ple will advance automatically— is that the Chinese leaders are following instructions from Mos- cow as part of some deep, dark plot- to conquer the world. Yet it is hard to see what ad vantage the Soviet Union can de- rive from these forays. On the contrary, they jeopardize the success of Premier Khrushchev’s visit to the United States, and impair his chances of obtaining an agreement satisfactory to Rus sia on Berlin and other European issues.

ATTACK ON INDIA Moreover, ‘the Chinese. attack on India has dealt a severe—per- haps fatal—blow to the Indian Communist Party, and set back the cause of Communism through- out Asia. Because of a few bord- er skirmishes, years of patiént Russian diplomacy and _propa- ganda, millions of rubles of So- viet economic aid, may go down the drain. Would the Kremlin have authorized such a disaster? The Peking Government’s real motives can only be guessed at. We suspect, however, that quite apart frém local objectives— such as sealing off Tibet more effectively—the operations in India are designed to demonstrate to the world that China isa force to be reckoned with—thaf she is in fact one of the Great Powers. Not so_long ago, China was ac- corded Great Power status. Dur- ing the Second World War she was admitted as one of the Big Five—the others were the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union and France—who.dominated Allied war effort. Later she Te- ceived similar recognition when she was made one of the per- manent members of the United Nations Security Council. BACKWARD COUNTRY In those days, China was a

ravaged by war; much of her’ territory was still occupied by the Japanese. Yet it was realized that her population alone made her a major force, in the ‘world; the 600 million\ people of China outnumbered those of the other four Great powers combined.

Today China is far more pow- erful than she was then—in mili- tary forces, in industry, in train- ed manpower. Yet the Big Five of 1945 have shrunk to the Big Four. The government which has ruled China since the 1$9 revolution is not recognized by some countries, including the United States and Canada, and is excluded from the United Na- tions. a

Its place in the UN is taken by the Chiang Kai-shek regime in Formosa, which is even treated as a Great Power for ceremonial purposes, so that it can sit as a permanent member in the Secur- ity Council. Theré is almost a conspiracy to ignore the real China, to pretend that it does not exist. ‘

GENEVA CONFERENCE

This “grand illusion” of inter- national affairs is iHustrated by the recent Foreign Ministers’ Conference at Geneva, and the looming Summit Conference. The official Great Powers are nego- tiating to end the cold war; but China is not among them. :

The infiltration into India, the trouble in Laos, the intermittent

shelling of Quemoy, may well be . Thursday. wg

China’s answer to this exclusion. She is demonstrating that she has the power to keep much of Asia in turmoil—that no agree- ment reached by the Big Four to stabilize the international situa- tion will be of any value unless she is included.

And an wunprece dented $1,105,000,000 in foreign exchange reserves—_is crammed into Japanese banks.

BITTER DIVISIONS |

But a deep ideological, dispute has divided Japan into two bitter, warring camps. Socialists, Com- munists and many shades of left- ists want Japan to adopt a policy of neutrality in the cold war. Prime Minister Kishi’s ruling conservatives, the Liberal-Demo- crats, favor continued alignment with the West.

Two crucial showdowns lie ahead.

On Sept. 7 Japan's Supreme

ings on an‘appealed lower court ruling that American military forces and bases in Japan violate the no-war constitution.

And either this fall or early next year the same fight will be

newed when a revised U.S.- Japan security pact is brought beforé Parliament for ratification.

The pent - up fury of both sides, with each feeling theirs is -the only road to lasting peace, is ex- pected to focus.on these contests.

If the Supreme Court rules against the stationing of Ameri- can troops, Japan will be cast adrift in a strange new sea.

For the security pact which pro- vides for U.S. bases presumably would be struck down too by such a ruling,severing the West's basic defence link with Asia's. most powerful economy — one of communism’s prize goals. DEFENCE GAP.

This climate of prosperity has helped tip the battle over neu- trality in favor of Prime Min- ister Kishi’s conservatives.
