TUESDAY, NOV. 24, 1959.

Moderator’s Visit Prince Edward Island extends a cordial welcome téday to the Rt. Rev. Angus J. MacQueen, D.D., Mgd-

-er-tor of the United Church of Can-

ada, who is making his first official visit to the Province.

e second youngest minister

vevér to hold this important office, |

Dr. MacQueen is a native of Port Morien, Cape Breton, and is known as one of the most eloquent and effective preachers in the ministry of his church. He was elected in 1958 to succeed the Rt. Rev. James S. Thom- son of Mentreal, having served as a minister both in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick before going to Ed- monton and later to London, Ontario, where he is pastor of St. Andrew’s Church. .

_ Dr. MacQueen will make official calls today upon His Honour the Lieutenant Governor, Premier Shaw

— and Mayor Johnstone, will be guest

esesiers

at an Island Presbytery reception and wiil speak at a mass _ rally in

Trinity Church this, evening.

While his itinerary is a crowded one, we trust that it will be pleasant ; as well as onerous. Indeed, we are

..gure...that...this distinguished Mari-

timer will feel thoroughly at home in Prince Edward Island and will find opportunity for making more ex- tended visits: to our shores.

{ taie Homeless No Longer For twenty-two years Ontario’s

Lieutenant Governors have been lit-

erally homeless. They have held re-

ceptions in the Legislative Building at Queen’s Park and lived in hotels or homes paid for; by themselves.

This was due to the action of Pre-

mier Mitchel Hepburn in selling the

official residence, Chorley Park, dur- ing the, lean depression years.

' As the Ottawa Journal remarks,

the Prdvince of Quebec never dream-. ed of selling Spencerwood—now Bois

de Coulogne—the handsome resid- tence of its Lieutenant Governors, and even Prince Edward Island. al- ways maintained a fine old Georgian residence for its vice regal occupant. We hadn’t thought of it that way, but poor Ontario must have beeh nursing an inferiority complex to- wards us all this time, when it com- pared the manner in which we pro-

vided for the Queen’s representative. that

-

with its own shabby neglect of responsibilty.

Now, however, the Ontario Lieutenant Governor is to have a beautiful home of his own, valued at $350,000, and containing 30 rooms, including! servants’ quarters. It is not coming from the Government, but from a wealthy Toronto indust- rialist, 92-year old Dr. Sigmund Samuel. That Premier Frost was delighted to accept this gift (says The Journal) is reflected in his some- what shamefaced remark that guests of the Lieutenant Governor had been forced to live “in railway carriages, cars, ships and God knows -where.”

Now that the “Banner Province” |

has been provided for in this manner, we can all breathe easier. It will be able properly to uphold the dignity of the Crown, and feel more on a par with the rest of us who have al- ways done so.

Fifth Wheel To The Cart

The Quebec-MP who says that Canada should have an Independence Day on December 11--the.-date of, the signing of the Statute of West-

_minister in 1931—is coming in for well deserved criticism from news- papers across the continent.

~. Regrettable Incident

A news item from Paris hints that General de Gaulle may pass up a projected visit to Canada in the spring because of Canada’s opposition to French plans to explode an atom bomb. The French President has~an invitation from Prime Minister Die- fenbaker to visit Canada which dates from last year. External Affairs Min- ister Green, reminded Genera! de Gaulle about it when he visited Paris last month. Furthermore it is the accepted practice for any French chief of state visiting the United States (as de Gaulle plans to do in May) to spend a few days in Canada’ as well. — :

We trust that there is no truth in this Paris rumor, which reported- ly emanates from diplomatic sources. Canada and France have been very

\ good friends, our historic links hav-

ing been further strengthened by sacrifices incurred in two world wars. Certainly there is the kindliest feeling here toward France and all | that it stands for in culture and civilization. There is a great deal of admiration also for General de Gauile and for the indomitable spirit he has shown_both in war and peace.

Yet we cannot regret the action of our Canadian delegate at the United Nations General Assembly in favor- ing a resolution expressing grave concern over the French intention to conduct nuclear tests in the Sahara Desert. This motion carried in the 82-member world body on a

~ vote of 51 to 16 with 15 abstentions.

The Assembly’s senior committee, the one dealing with political and security matters, had voted earlier 46 to 26 with 10 abstentions for a similar resolution, but in the As- sembly the ‘vote was stepped up to give the necessary two-thirds margin

‘for adoption.

The United States and Britain both supported France on this .con- - troversial issue, and it was not easy: for Canada to take the opposite ide. Yet we have consistently ppposed further nuclear tests by any country, and France had no right to expect

that we would do otherwise in this

' Case.

We can only express regret, too, that France has made it clear that it

will ignore the U.N. Assembly vote

and go ahead with its atomic bomb tests, despite the consternation the project has caused among the Afro- Asian nations. In doing so it fas taken a very grave step, and raised

issues which only lead to further

the Financial Post, “Canada needs.

K. parchment that hasn’t affected Canada’s life or des- tiny in the slightest, and packs ap- proximately the sammie emotional wal- lop as, let us say, a 1931 DBS report on snowfall?

“If a really significant and stir- ring date is wanted, what about Juiy 25? That was the day in 1814 when an invading U-S. force was repulsed at Lundy’s Lane in the Niagara pen- insula.

If these baitles had been lost, Canada .would not exist at all except as a memory, whereas the country would be exacily as~- free and independent as it is, no more and no less, if the Statute of West- minster-had never been dreamed up.”

We have just one comment to add to this remark. It was the Rt. Hon. Arthur_Meighen who said that Prime Minister King, in the ballyhoo he was making about the Statute of Westminster, was “bursting through an open door.” It was the gallant record of our Canadian fighting, for- ces in World War One that left*that door wide open—not Mr. King or any dther politician. Let's not — forget where the credit lies, :

This right, was granted to the United States in return for $10,- 000,000 at the signing of the treaty and $250.000 yearly after the first 10 years. The attraction of. the canal to the Panamanians, besid- es their national aspirations, is the revenue of about $1 per net ton which is derived from the 30,- 000,000 tons of traffie the canal handles yearly.
