In The Balance

Vl'alter Lippman, noted American uurnor who has given intensive study on the spot to conditions in liurope, is not in agreement with those “wishful thinkers" who claim the ne\\s- papers were responsible for manufacturing the recent war scares. Mr. L i p p in a n's opinion is that there is not only present danger btit that the tension will last for months ahead. The issue is at this moment in the balance; and the tletcrniining factor is likely to be the decision

which the dictators will have to make as to w :- ther the potential resistance to them has reached la degree of strength which makes an appeal to force dangerous.

It is in its bearing on this point that the course taken by the United States is of supreme iniportaiice. Mr. Lippman thinks that the dic- tators, who are undoubtedly in a desperate mood, niiglit be encouraged to attempt a “lightning war" if they were convinced that the democratic Dowers would not be allowed to buy arms in the United States “because the American people did not care what ‘became of the Western dem- bcracies." »

At the moment the best contribution towar-ls bringing about conditions that will lessen the tension and ultimately remove the danger of war is to pile up in front of the dictators the potential risks they run if they resort to force.

Quebec is usually credited with being the place of origin of Canada‘s dairy industry, but according to the Crmlmcrcial hitelligence Journal Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia, was in all probability the scene of the first introduc- tory of domestic cattle to this side of the Atlan- tie. These cattle were brought over from France in the year 1518. It was not until about 1608 that the first permanent introduction of cows into (‘anada was made liy Champlain at Quebec. l)uring the following years small herds were in- troduced into what is now known as the Mari- time Provinces. In the years of 1783-84, the United Loyalists made further additions to the live stock of these provinces and also into what was then known as Upper Canada. It is just little over a century ago since cattle were intro- zluccd into the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia. Those were brought into the country from Oregon and California by the Red River rolonists and the Hudson's Bay Company. From those liumblc beginnings the cattle industry has grown steadily. The iininber of cows in Can- ada in 1037 was almost four million head.

Referring to our celebration of the seventy- fifth anniversary of the Charlottetown Confer-

ence the Vancouver Province says:

“Charlottetown might, of course, have held its carnival of celebration on the very day of the conference, September 1. landers wanted a good celebration a to attract visitors, and they decided that more people would be drawn to the ‘Garden of the Gulf’ if the pageantry were fixed for the heightl of the holiday season than if it were deferred to the end of summer”
