Big Week Ahead

One-of the-moest-successful-Prince County Exhibitions ever held at. Al- berton closed on Thursday evening. And now the spotlight is shifting to next week's biggest fair of all. the . Provincial Exhibition and Old Home Week in Charlottetown for which preparations have long been under and which promises to eclipse anything of its kind ever held in the Maritimes. That's saying a lot, but visitors are éxpecting, no less and they're coming from all parts of the continent to enijov it. What is most

- encouraging is that many of them are

“repeaters.” having visited _us__on other-occasions and having found. just what they want here for a worth- while familv_ vacation.

The centre of interest, of course, will be the Exhibition grounds, with fast harness racing and with midway,

thatthe fair is basically an agricul- tural show..there will be new livestock classes this Year with greatly increas- | ed prize money. Competition among dairy. cattle -will “be exceptionally keen. The poultry classes are also well filled..and the home cooking and handicraft -displays will be more tempting -then-ever.

These events will make up a big week in themselves. But the Con- | federation Centre Theatre will also | be a magnet for both our.citizens and visitors, with sparkling performances of “Anne of Green Gables” alternat-. ing with Wayne and Shuster in their latest and most entertaining revue to bring’ our: Charlottetown Festival 1965 to a grand‘ conclusion. The “Anne” production has been break- ing attendance records at the theatre,

imperialism can be blamed if thetr ills continue.

“The American popular mentality is not geared to this kind of warfare. The mind of the, American soldier, after military training, is even. less equipped to deal with it. He does not face the enemy he. has been taught to fight. The Viet Cong is invisible and furtive, ducking open battle when victory is unlikely. American soldiers, frustrated in futile efforts to catch

ars wwViet Cong. find themselves wiping

out peaceful vilages. On Aug. 3, for example. marines razed a village from which thev had received ‘sniper fire for two weeks; 150 houses were erased. What were the ‘casualties? One dead baby and’three wounded women. The previous day a marine grenade killed two children and a woman died from a piece of artillery shell in another village.

The villagers were warned -by _loudspeaker to leave before the at- tack. But a Vietnamese villager may be even more frightened to leave his ancestral village than to stay in it. And éven villagers wishing to leave may be intimidated by the ruthless Viet Cong. In either case, Americans killed Vietnamese civilians, providing more grist for the Communist pro- paganda mill.

The Communists believe that they “can play this waiting game longer than the Americans can, and have no desire for a settlement: that would deprive them of this advan- tage. President Johnson has himself

..warned that the U.S. posture must

be defensive. But the Communists, as aggressors, can dictate the terms on which the U.S. must conduct its defense. Unless the United States decides to cut its losses and ‘pull out,

regardless of commitments, the for-°

seeable future is bleak so far as peace talks ‘with the Reds on this issue is concerned.

And ‘therein lies a danger which 1s noted by Edwin D. Canham’in the Christian Science Monitor—a writer who has been a ‘strong champion of Negro rights legislation.

Nobel Peace Prize winners have added the prestige of their names to a plea for a cease-fire in Viet Nam and a settlement of the struggle. Un- . fortunately. the success of this-move depends on convincing the Commu- nists that they cannot take over the country by playing the waiting game. in which they have become such adepts. The Communists now realize, if Washington doesn’t, that this war is a matter of years, not months, that a decisive showdown is not needed— no ‘‘victory’” in the old sense is ex- pected or even sought. :

In this strange war. as pointed | Washington commentator, | the Communists haVe one chief factor on their side which makes them in-

There is, however, another dan- ger, as Mr. Canham points out.. The tendency of white citizens is to be- lieve that, with the franchise, Negro demands for rights and justices have been met. What. it is asked, are they still demonstrating about? The ans- wer, of course, is that alienation goes deeper than legal steps, or even jobs and houses. The healing of prejudices and hatreds must still come.
