Farmers And organized Labour

At its recent annual meeting the Broth- i erhood of Railroad Trainmen (U.S.A.) adopted a resolution asking for a Govern. ment investigation into the causes of de- clining farm prices. In commenting on the resolution, Mr. W. P. Kennedy, President of the Brotherhood, said this: "When the farmer prosper: so does the railroad man and every other worker. Our interests are interdependent. We need each other." He might have added that all departments of the national economy are assisted and strengthened when farmers receive incomes commensurate with the important work they do and are weakened when the farm- ers are unable to receive enough for their products to enable them to meet expenses and to assure them of a reasonable mar- gin of profit.

The time is long past-if, indeed, it ever existed-when public indifference to a sound agricultural economy could be in- dulged without endangering the entire social and.economic fabric. Farmers never have been unreasonable, nor are they now, in their financial expectations; they ask only a fair deal in the general economic structure. Certainly, as Mr. Kennedy in- ferred, organized labour--whose interests cannot be separated from public opinion- has nothing to lose by speaking up for a segment of the population outside its own

notes The Transcript, are substantially similar to those presented three years ago at a meeting of Prince Edward Island fish- eries development committee by Dr. A.' W. H. Needler, then the biologist in charge of St. Andrews fisheries research station. But no steps towards making any change have since been made. The principal reason for this is believed to be due to the widely differing opinions held in the various re- gions where lobster fishing is pursued. Whether the proposed over-all closed

land open seasons can be deferred much

longer is a matter that now seems to call for an early decision, so that the best in- terests of the lobster fishery will be pro- tected in the manner deemed most favor- able.

Milk consumption

That 80 per cent of Quebec children do not drink even 70 per cent of the recom- mended quantity of milk is really alarm- ing, warns Dr. E. C. Sylvestre, director of the Quebec public health departmentis nutritional division.- He advised the dairy industry to make its publicity conform more with nutrition principles.

The situation in Quebec is probably duplicated in other areas despite the fact that the dairy industry is hard put to find markets for its products. blamed for low consumption but this is far from a complete explanation.

to a greater extent than dairy products.

It cannot be too greatly emphasized that milk provides nearly all the require- ments of a healthful diet, its abundant use goes far towards insuring youngsters against malnutrition. Children being what they are, however, it cannot be expected that they will continue very long to take things which their parents turn down. If parents, on the other hand, made a prac-

es benefit and would at the same time

The difficulty of imposing democracy on backward peoples is indicated by recent events in Indonesia. That country, liber- ated from Dutch rule at U. S. insistence, is scheduled to hold its first general elections on January 5. According to The Letter- Review, observers doubt whether they will take place then or at any time in the near future.

The registration of Indonesia's estimat- ed 45 million voters (all men and women over 18) was supposed to finish by the end of May. but in some areas has not even be- gun. Peasants are co-operating, but "edu- cated" groups are not. Also obstructing registration is high tension between the Communists and Moslems, the latter of whom feel that the Indonesian Republic is playing into Communist hands. Although Moslems are the largest political organiza- tion in Indonesia, election committees set up by the government are chiefly compris- ed of Communists and Nationalists. Moslem bands have killed five registration officials in West Java.

Voting, as in India, will be by symbols, forty-two of which have been registered, representing as many parties. Significant is the decision of the Central Election Com- mittee that the hammer and sickle will rep- resent not only the Indonesian Communist Party but also non-party independents. This will enable Communists to claim all independent votes.

Lobster conservation

be showing an excellent example.

The emphasis on the value of milk. however, must not obscure the necessity of other essential foods. Its regular use makes it considerably easier to assure a balanced diet but cannot be accepted as a substitute for careful meal planning.

Not the least among matters pertaining to the Maritimes' lobster fishery which have been the subject of divergent opinion over many years, says the Moncton Tran- script, is that of the prevailing system of closed and open seasons. This is again pro- jected in an expert's report which the fish- eries research board has transmitted to the

, federal department. The report stemmed-

from a study of this fishery made by Dr. D. G. Wilder, chief biologist at the fisheries research station in St. -Andrews, N.B.

The report embraces the 80-year history of Canada's Atlantic lobster industry and the regulations governing it. In it Dr. Wilder expresses the opinion that the pres- ent syltem of closed seasons has little, if any, real value as a conservation measure. In support of his findings he cites the healthy, condition of this fishery in the state of Maine where it is never closed throughout the year.

But Dr. Wilder would not make the At- lantic Provinces lobster season wide open, as in Maine. The solution he considers most advisable would be to supercede the present system of 14 regional closed seasons with one blanket prohibitive season extend- Ing from July to September, inclusive, leav- ing the remaining nine months of the year open for fishing the crustaceans. By doing so, he malntolris this would Prevent the capture of newly moulted, soft-shelled lob- gunwhlchyleidleoomeatonbollingand are IIIIHI to hold and ship alive.

The Passing Scene

31 observer '1'!!! WORLD COUNCIL

Then is oonnidonblo misunder- standing abroad concerning the World council of Churches which hold its Second General Assembly in Evanotaon. Illinois, during the lost two weeks of August. some of the A '.n newspapers which reported the council's deliberat- ions went so for as to call it the "World Church." Actually. that is the one thing it isn't. It is not even I legislative body. It makes no laws, it authorizes no formal be- liefs. its resolutions and recom- mendations aie not binding on its member Churches.

There are upwards of 110 re-

ligious ” lnations-largo and small-represented in the World Council, no two of which think

exsct:Lv alike on matters of faith and order. It can readily be seen. therefore. that it could not be celled a World Church in any way, shape. or form.

Dr. W. A. Visser 't Hooft, gen- eral secretary of the Council. was so deeply disturbed by the popu- lar misunderstanding of the Coun- cil's status and purpose that. he called a press conference to correct: what he called "confused thinking regarding our life and work". Dr. Visser 't I-Iooft. a native of Gen- eva. Switzerland has been the chief executive officer of the Coun- cil ever sinoe its formal recognit- ion at Amsterdam in 1948, and he was one of its principal designers for a decade or more before that time. He probably knows its much about the organization as anyone.

"It. is completely erroneous", said Do. Vlsser 't. I-looft, "to suggut that the World Council is or has any ambition to be a Super-Church. There is not a single Church in the membership which desires this. nor is there one which would tol- erate it." He defines the Council as "an instrument at the service of all the Churches to assist them in their common task to manifest the true nature of the Church and must therefore never be considered as an aim in itself."

The Council is. of course, inter- ested in religious unity (who isn't?) but Dr. Visser 'h I-Iooft. made it quite clear that the Coun- cil "cannot and must. not negoti- ate union between Churches. What it can do and should do. according to the general secretary. "is to create I situation in which there is so much in common among the churches that they will want. to become more and more united."
