Thanksgiving » Monday’s observance of Thanks- ' giving Day falls during the “sea- son of mists and mellow fruitful- ness,” and for a good reason. It is a time of peacefulness and serenity, between the bustle of summer and the cold stillness of winter, that lends itself to contemplation and in- trospection. The work of the summer

is done, the harvest has been gath- ered; and it is, therefore, fitting that we should set aside one day at least on which to give thanks.

It is of very old origin, this ex- pressing of gratitude for the bounties of Providence. It dates back to early Greek and Roman times when, en October 4, the populace worshipped and gave thanks to Ceres, goodness ‘of food plants. The Druids of ancient

praised the gods in harvest festivals. In North America, Thanksgiving Day has been observed in prayer and rejoicing. since the first celebration of the Pilgrim Fathers in Plymouth colony in 1621. Its meaning and scope have broadened with the years, but

ins primarily a day in which “to count ‘our blessings” in whatever form they may take..

- Surely, on this occasion, the signs ef a relaxation in cold war tensions fs a matter for universal *thanks- giving. For Canada, the year 1959— with two and a half more months yet to run—has been one of general progress and prosperity, in which we have shared in this Province \in bountiful harvests from land and sea. If we have had difficulties, let us reflect that these will always be with us, and that there would be no » progress without the challenge that

eomes from surmounting them.

True thanksgiving is in the spirit and the soul. It breeds humility and

a sense of oneness with our kind,

which brings us to the ultimate vir-

tue that St. Paul insisted on so

strongly. It would be a selfish sort

of thanks if we were unmindful of

the less fortunate, those in ill-health, in poverty, unemployment or other forms of adversity. This was the | Rew meaning which Christianity put

into the pagan rites of thanksgiving,

and the one which so enhances its

value for ys today.

Mosley Soundly Drubbed

A minor source of statisfaction in the British election was the sound * drubbing that was administered to the former Fascist leader, Sir Oswald Mosley, in his attempt to ride into Parliament on a wave of racial an- tagonism. He was-at the bottom of the poll in London’s North Kensing- ton district, which takes in the Not- ting Hill area where race riots occur- red in 1958 He lost his £150 deposit. This Mosley is a baronet and a man of independent: wealth, with a * house on the outskirts of Paris where his friends indude prominent mem- bers of international society. He has also a house in Ireland, where he lives the life of a country gentleman. He has been in Parliament as a Con- servative, Independent and Laborite member, and was a junior minister in the Labor government when he broke ranks and founded his Unéon of Fascists.

This group had all the parapher- Malia of the continental European fascist, parties: the street parades, the raised arm salute, the Jew bait- ing, the beating up of hetklers at meetings and the black shirt uni- forms with thie wide belts and brass buckles that could crack a man’s skull. It is not surprising that when World War 11 came, Mosley; as a friend and avowed admirer of Hitler and Mussolini, was clapped into jail on security grounds.

When West Indians started mov- ing to North Kensington and other London districts ‘after the war, race tension sprang up. Mosley moved in too. He dropped al] mention of the

Britain knew it, and in their rites

kept a vigilant eye on any riotous tendencies.

Mosley’s case is an example of’ how free speech can be abused under British democracy; but it proves the value of the system as well. Supress- ing him would have been easy, on

- the basis of his malodorous record -alone. But that might have made

a martyr of-him. So he was given all the rope he needed in which to hang himself politically. This may not be the end of his attempts at mischief- making, for he is stubborn as well as nasty; but it is likely to prove the end of the British public’s. patience.

The Taft-Hartley Act

President Eisenhower is now tak- ing steps to invoke the “national emergency” provisions of the Taft- Hartley Act in the 88-day-old steel strike, as he has already done in the case of the waterfront strike, which lasted only a week. The provisions of this Act are only incidentally con- cerned with making men go back to work. It aims to restore things as they were before the actual stoppage or threat of stoppage. In a dispute, management need only sit tight to press its position; a union. must threaten or actually. walk out. Hence restoration of the “status quo ante bellum”.seems to, and usually does, weigh more against the bargaining position of the union than of the in- dustry.

Thus far, howeyer, the Taft- Hartley Act has not been invoked unless there is strong evidence that the innocent bystander—the public—

‘is being threatened or harmed more

than either the industry or the union involved. In that case the Act in- sures a period of 80 days during

which the immediate threat of harm -4

is lifted and the disputants are under special pressure of negotiate real- istically. If no settlement has been reached atthe end of 80. days the President must throw the impasse in the lap of Congress.

It is not difficult to see why the President has acted more promptly in the waterfront strike than in the more - protracted -steel strike. The steel strike was long forseen and prepared agamst by ‘heavy stockpil- ing; the dock strike exploded after hopeful developments and brought about an immediate break in the chain of distribution and an early glut in the whole process- of.-trans-. porting goods. But as the steel strike drags on, it is becoming. more and more a matter of grave public con- cern. President Eisenhower has flown back from California to Washington to set in motion the legal machinery that will halt it temporarily.

A Rich Anthology

The Atlantic Provinces are sur- prisingly .rich in good literature, but heretofore it has been difficult to gain access to these widely scat- tered sources of inspiration, enter- tainment. and information. An at- tempt at meeting this requirment has now been made in “Atlantic Anth- ology”, a work compiled under Mr. Will R. Bird as editor-in-chief, and

published handsomely by McClelland

ta

and Stewart Limited, Toronto. Several selections are taken from our Island authors, including the late Judge Warburton, the late W.L. Cot- ton, L.M. Montgomery, Malcolm Mac- queen, Dr. Frank MacKinnon and Walter S. MacNutt, who appear along - with such famous names as Samuel de Champlain, Mare Lesearbot, Bliss Carman, T.C. Haliburton, Joseph Howe, Charles D. Roberts, E.J.. Pratt, and scores of others. ; We warmly recommend this vol- ume to all our readers, who will find it a treasury of good things in fiet- ion, non-fiction, prose and poetry— past and present—constituting cer- tainly the best work of its kind that has yet appeared, or is likely to ap-

. pear for a Jong time. The price is

$6.00, the publication date October 17. Don’t ask us for the loan of our advance copy; we're still reading it.

EDITORAL NOTES

As announced by Hon. Melvin McQuaid, provincial treasurer, an ex- ternal audit of the financial condit- ion of the Province will be undertak- en immediately. The extra expense is certainly justifiable, where a new administration is taking over after the lapse of so many years.

. * *

A survey of Island farms for sale is the first step in the Shaw Govern- ment’s program of land resettlement and rehabilitation,-and is to be warm- ki commended. There is no reason why. this fertile little Province should have unoccupied farms at all. Ef- forts made to remedy this situation will pay rich dividends in‘ future.

ISLANDER REPORTS ON

Khrushchev At The U.N.

By Heath Macquarrie, M.P.

The biggest news item in the American press for many a day will be the visit of Russian Pre- mier Nikita S: Khrushchev. Dur- ing the Soviet leader's stay im the United States every medium of mass communication, radio, television and newspaper brought his sayings and doings to the

| attention of the American people.

Walking along the streets of- New York one heard from numerous car radios the heavy Russian tone of the visiting leader followed by thé interpretation of his re marks at.some luncheon or ban- quet being held in his honour.

ELABORATE PREPARATIONS

Preparations for Khrushchev's appearance at the United Nat- ions General Assembly were well in hand long before we arrived in New York on September 15. The U.N. Secretariat: has been bombarded with requests for tic- kets from its. member delegat- fons -and the American. public. With less than three thousand public seats available and eighty- two delegations making requests, it is not surprising that only a small proportion of the hopeful realized their desire to be pre- sent at the historic event.

As a member of the Canadian Delegation. I was entitled to sit in one of the ten places allotted to Canada in the main hall and thus had no need to make spe- cial requests for seating accom- modation.

SECURITY REGULATIONS

An international meeting place like the United Nations building must have security regulations of a special character. For instance, all delegates and advisers may be required to show their pass before entering certain parts of the building. It does not take long fdr the very alert guards to recognize the memBers of var- ious delegations. and members are rarely. asked to display their pas- ses after the first few days.

But the day of the Khrushchev visit brought quite a different al- tuation. Every delegate was is- sued with a special pass which was shown to a security guard before he entered the General Assembly all. Heavy réstrict- ions. were laid on the visiting public and the security staff was obviously on the alert with a full complement of men.on duty.>

IMPRESSIVE ARRIVAL

The arrival of the Premier and party was quite impressive and a large number of Russian of- ficials entered the Assembly to take their reserved seats just be- fore the hour of commencement of the afternoon session.

The Premier's wife was the object of considerable attention. Some of the clever wonien's col- umnists of certain American newspapers had somewhat sneer- ingly derided her appearance and lack of style when she had been seen at other public gatherings. it is true she looked little like an American society leader. There was no smart hair-do nor anything about her dress to sug- gest the smart shops of Fifth Avenue. ¢

‘Did President Eisenhower reach some secret understanding with Premier Khrushchev on -the Berlin issue? :

And if so, did the president bring State Secretary Herter into his complete confidence on this cntieeloadian?

The . questions are raised he- cause Eisenhower and Khrush chev récently held private con- versations, the contents of which have got been disclosed, and he- cause of a Variation in view on the Berlin question as expressed by the president and his chief foreign adviser.

At his press conference that followed the Camp David con- versations with Khrushchev, Fis- enhower talked of secking a West Berlin solution that would recog- nize the ‘‘legitimate interests” not only of the Berliners and West. Germany, but also of: Fast Germany and even of Russia.

He said he couldn't guarantee that any settlement would uphold previous Western vows to pro tect the freedom of West Berlin- ers and to guard Allied rights in that city.

DIPLOMATS UPSET

His words, offered without hes- itation in reply to questions, set off such a diplomatic furore that the White House hastily put out a statement saying the president did not mean that the freedom of West Berlin would be abandoned or that Allied rights in that city behind the Iron Curtain would be abandomed by “unilateral ac- tion,” presumably by the Com- munists. ;

Even with this statement, it was clear Eiscuhower'’s views on

Some Misunderstanding

By Harold Morrison Canadian Press Staff Writer

Berlin were not frezen: that he | was open to negotiation on Ber- i lin and would be willing to ac- cept a solution that offered a way out of an impasse for West Ger- many and the Communists.

But a week after Fisenhower's press conference, Herter held one of his own in which he aid the West intended to retain occupa- tion troops in Berlin until Fast and West Germany are reunited. Many an expert has stated the prospect of- such .reunification grows dimmer by the day.

During the week-end of Sept. 25-27, Fisenhower held talks at the Camp David retreat with Khrushchey and U.S. and Rus-

during that weekend, the two leaders held private talks of their own. Only interpreters were pres- ent.

Khrushchev removed his. threat against Western occupation of Berlin on the basis that a solution to the Berlin problem would not be postponed indefinitely. Fisen- hower indicated the-way now was clear for a summit meeting at which Berlin and other Issues would be discussed.

The variation in views as ex- pressed by Eisénhower and Hér- ter, coupled by other expressions by the state secretary, has led some observers to suggest that
