International Seed Testing

Protocol does not exclusively concern either the uniformed or striped pants sets. A recent international agreenient, in fact, is of very special significance to the am- ateur and professional gardener whose fav- orite attire is apt to be more utilitarian than smart.

New rules of the International iseed Testing Association came into effect on July 1st. Official seed testing stations of mem- ber countries' are entitled to issue interna- tional secd analysis certificates when their analyses have been carried out in accord-' ance with international rules. These inter- national seed analysis certificates form the basis for commerce between many coun- tries and have made international seed trade easier.

Canada is. of course. interested in the seed trade and sent the chief of laboratory services of the Plant Production Division of the Department of Agriculture and his deputy to a course at Cambridge recently on the practical interpretation of the new rules. Some twenty countries were repre- sented and the meeting resulted in the clearing up of a number of points which would have been difficult to get agreement upon without meeting personally. It had no power, of course, to vary the rules.

The senior Canadian delegate, Dr. C. W. Legatt, made a substantial contribution to the conference by delivering papers on sampling techniques and on homogeneity.

Any well-to-do person who would like to have a town square called by his name and who would be willing to do a little philan- thropy to earn the distinction should get in touch with the Mayor of Terascon, France. In many ways, according to the mayor, Terascon is an attractive little town. but its citizens lack one very important facility- shower baths. The mayor explains it this way: "Our citizens are very poor because they have been wrecked economically and haven't yet found a fairy g'odmother to re-, store their economy." He feels that some-i where. in the United States or Canada there might be a rich man or woman who would wish to contribute the necessary funds. "In return," he promises, "the town naturally would designate its main square by the name of the generous giver."

The mayor does not. say how much money all this new plumbing would cost.. Perhaps he figures that any person of af- fluence vain enough to wish his name on a town square in France, or -anywhere else for that matter, would not be likely to quibble about a few thousand dollars one way or the other; in that he is probably right. News of the offer got around a week or so ago, and it is possible that by now the money has been raised. However, if there is anyone in these parts with the right. amount of ambition and philanthropy. in addition to hard cash, to qualify for the honour, it. would do him no harm to put in a bid. If that place is looked ,,after there may be another with a similar need. ,

Britain 'faces a new and strange immi- gration problem. reports the Hamilton Spec- tator. Every week for months past there has been a growing influx of coloured peo- ple from the Caribbean, particularly Jam- aica. They troop down the gangways at the principal ports with their few posses- sions in cheap fibre suitcases, little or no money in their pockets, and carrying in their hands their most treasured possession, a British passport.

Because they are British subjects there is.no restriction on their entry. Usually. they are not long finding work. but the new way of life and the climate often have un- fortunate effects and they soon are unem- ployed and looking for work again. When they fail to find it, they drift to the poorer sections of the'big industrial cities and live communally. Social problems soon arise and citfv authorities have to solve them.

In April and May this year the total number of passage bookings from King- ston. Jamaica. to Britain exceeded 1,800. For the natives of the sunny Caribbean Is- lands theifuture is dark. Unemployment. low living standards, few industries and booming populations discourage ambitious youth. So Britain has become their land of pi-omise, It may not welcome them enthusi-

astically. but its door stands open and all 5

they have to do is to find the fare to get there. This they do by saving.

Because of the unhappy social problems created and because the country's welfare seivices have often to provide for these col- oured immigrants who are so soon out Of work, Britain is considering the introduc- tion of regulations that will insist upon Jamaican residents proving that they KY9 able to support themselves for a period be- fore they are admltted,to the country.

THE SCHOOL BELLS CALL

Sir.-Attending the school cloa- mg I few days ago and listening to the vaiedictory. 1 thought, of those who are leavirg school for the last. time. some in college. others to unlveisities and still others no place. just drlitelis. As one who

has drifted on the stormy sea of '

life for many 3. moon. tossed hither and, thither along the way and beaten on the rocky shore, it was with a tinge of sorrow that I saw those young folas going out the school door for the last. time.

Bad it is that so many of every class will look back lroin. middle life and grasp at. the strings of youth and wont to go back to school again. especially in this age of broken homes and families. Those who are educated can turn to what they want but the un- educated one must be A drifter, go with the tide. and take what we et. ' ' We have come to the cross roads of time now and the man with the long beard and a hoe on his back is gone forever. There is no place anymore for drillers. we must. be educated: and the proof of this we have right. in'this vary school dis- trict. where one couple alone, with vowed to edu- cate them no matter what came or went. Today all but one of this family are in splendid positions with good pay while the remaining one is still at school for another year;

Think of the happiness education has brought to this one family while others Just drifted along. when the sch ol bell rings again there will be on many boys and girls who will laugh and say. 5'1 om past. that now: the door will close behind me no more. I know enough to get. along." But no, you don't know enough. No matter what oc- cupation we choose. former. fisher- man or what-not, we don't. know enough. so I would say to young people. when the school bell rings again in the fall and you are juat. drifting. go back for at ism im-

othor year. Open again the door

that was cloned behind you; re- member llfe may linger long and that exti-A year at school will pay its dividends time and time again. You will then thank heiiven..,t.hot you went. back after the bell had rung for the last time. I am Sir. etc.

The immediate objective of the British Government in to arrange the cessation of Chinese Com- munist expansion in Southeast

Mr. Eden has been trying to do in Geneva. If l'e succeeds, Britain will be one step further toward her ultimate objective. This is the delicate. hazardous and pro- longed process of establishing con- ditions under which the Western world can attempt to detach Com- munist China from the Soviet Un-

on. -

That policy was arrived at al- most. by instinct. But it in no less 3 policy even if it luck: a declaration to explain it and pacts to advertise it. As the his- lory of the last five years has shown. it is as much a Conserva- tive policy as it is in Labor pol- icy. Given the exposed situation of these islands in a third world war. it almost inconceivable that the British at peace would espouse any other approach to the Chinese problem.

The British Government thinks the Communist Government in Pelplnz is there to stay. It. is not.eagei' to repeat the mistake made three decades ago with Russi. After World War I the British accepted the word of Czarist refugees that the Com- munists in Moscow could be driven out if someone would pro- vige the money and men. '

no result was the civil war in Russia. All things considered. this conflict. half-forgotten save in the Soviet Union. probably did as much as any other factor to solidify the Russian”: distrust of the West from 1925 to the. pres- ent. '

. . . .

The British believe that the

emails lnio Chlang Kai-lhek and Dr. yngmon Rhee, in with- holding diplomatic recognition of the Chinese Communist Govern- mentgand opposing its entry into the United Nations. is making a mistake that may be no serious to world harmony as the one they made with the Russians thirty years ago. For. they believe this is the time. perhaps the only time. when some impression can be made on the Chinese Commu- nist leaders.

Throughout that leadership are scattered men educated in the West or in China by Western teachers. They are all Commu- nln party members. But becsuu of their education and because they have I Itnndard of compari- son, they are more Imcnnblato argument than the next genera- tion of Communist lenders will be. - ' How do the British intend .t.o achieve their immediate and Ill- timate objectives?

They do not think trade with Communist China iI,t.reosonnble to the West and they cannot un- dei-stand why so much ,fuu is raised about it in the United States. If United States senators are worried about trade with Com- munist China it is suggested they also discuss the nmount,of trade between West Germany and Com- munist Chino through East Berlin or the resale of United States exports sent. to J.opnn.

. .

The re-establishment of t r I do relations with Communist China will be on a new balls. The iold days of vast foreign holdings and vast foi-eicn influence are over. But the British are convinced that trade will broaden the con- nections between the two nations and it will have a direct effect on the achievement of" the long-term British objective" of detaching China from the. Communist bloc.
