A Sober Warning

In.a recent thought-provoking address 01'It.V- to an American Legion Convention, His Eminence Cardinal Spellnian warned that there is nothing at the moment to indicaiz: that the l'nitcd States will retain for ever its picsciit dominant, position in world at- fairs. In commenting on Soviet Russia's long-term plans for world conquest-so far there is nothing to prove that they have been tli)'zlflf'IOl1Pd-I10 quoted a prophecy made by Lenin early in the Revolution: "First, we will take Eastern Europe; then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle; the L'nited States of America which will be the last bastion of Capitalism. We will not have to attack it; it will fall like an ovcrripc fruit in our hands." It is evident tiiat the first part of the plan has been put into effect and that the second phase is well under way. As Soc the third part of the sclicine Cardinal Spellman had this to say: ltlihere are today signs in American life of an alarming deterioration in the things of the spirit. When we flunk of lioiv home life has disintegrated, how par- ental responsibility is being shamelessly' shirked, how shockingly juvenile delin- qucncy has increased with all of the dread- ful social consequences, we can look into our hearts and ask ourselves if the fruit of hard American planting and the sacri-3 fice that went into so much toil have not already become overripe and ready for plucking by an enemy who is ivilling to make liiiiitless efforts and use dastardly methods to gain his goal.”

This is a sober warning, indeed, and it miglit well be taken to heart by all the peoples of the free nations. Preponder- ance in military strength is, of course. a. useful weapon in the hands of free men. The free nations must do everything in their power to possess it and to retain it as long as the totalitarian threat to human freedom exists. But it will not, of itself, ensure the.continuance of a free and un- lettered civilization anywhere in the world. The disintegrating influences which the Cardinal mentioned, and others like them. will not and cannot be arrested as long as things of the spirit are thought of as being secondary in importance to material pro- gress. Confidence in a strong economi:' system and in well tried and proven politi- cal institutions is a worth-while asset. It can. moreover, exercise I good moral in- fluencn; but it is I poor siihstitiite for vigorous and intelligent attack on the many evils which afflict society at this time.

everybody within an even larger area.

tically that there is nothing they can do, that half-measures are futile.

Obviously there is need for leadership in the matter, and it is far too important to shelve responsibility for this leadership upon municipalities or even provincial gov- ernments. .

Budworm War Continues .

New Brunswick's spruce budworm bat- tle will he fought again next year. An- other one million acres of infested timber- land are expected to receive the aerial spraying treatment, which will boost the cumulative four-year total to some 4.2 mil- lion acres. A feature of the 1955 operation will be lower cost, expected to run less than 351 per acre. This compares with over :51

for the initial 1952 effort.

Originally, the budworm-i fested New Brunswick forests were dousexd with DDT solution at the rate of one gallon per acre. But officials subsequently decided it was not necessary to aim at a complete 1007.; : ”kill,” particularly since the sprayed lands would probably be reinfested to some ex- tent from adjoinirrE' areas. Thus they cut the dose to half a gallon per acre, slashing costs substantially. The job next year will .be financed, as usually, by Forest Protec- tion Ltd. and the Federal Government. Forest Protection is the co-operative com- pany formcd by four pulp and paper pro- ducts and the New Brunswick Govern- ment.

POTATO BOARD'S ORIGIN

Sir, - In the complexity of con- fusion brought about. by the advent of I Potato Marketing Board, there is none more baffling than that of its ancestry and circumstance of origin. The Premier in a recent pronouncement on behalf of the government refused to assume any responsibility beyiond providing the facilities under which it. was be- gotten. The Federation of Agricul- ture is on record as repudlatliig relationship, or having had any- thing to do with sirelng the waif; in fact. it. goes so far as to defin- itely assert, in its "Among the Farmers" issue Friday the 15th, addressed specifically to the ment- ally deiise, that the Provincial Government is the actual progen- itor. The Provincial Marketinz Board is standing aloof in all in- nocence, refusing to admit. having had any knowledge or association with this clandestine affair other than being present in the capacity lot wet nurse upon its arrival. Is there any wonder then that there is confusion among potato growers and dealers as to origin and own-

ership?

THE TRUTH ABOUT MAN

Sir,-It. has been said that man face: two grave dangers. one is that he treats himself as an ani- mal whose horizon is bounded by this world, and whose motto is "Eat. drink and be merry for to- morrow you will die and that will be the end of you". That. is the Communist idea and that. is why they have given up the Christian religion. They say "It is BUD?” fluous. It. serves no good purpose." and in fact. are there not. mom who take the same view? They be- lieve in what they can see and handle. dollars. crops and goods. They believe in religion so long as it can be turned to good account. Please do not. make it. too practical they say. Do not apply it in detail.” For example. in politics dont be too particular. Give people what they wont to hear. You may know that is not. what. they ought to near, but. what they ought. to hear won't. get. votes. Ind that is what they are after. In sport and in gambling allow some latitude, per- haps I good deal in some cases. especially when it. to for a good cause. If the minister wishes to speak about judgment. and the fut- life life tell him he had better keep that. for funerals. Do not bring those ideas into every-day life. Man is thus in grave danger of treating hliriself as I more ani- mal, whose life is bounded by this world.

The other danger is that man considers himself his own god. That he can find in himself all that he has been taught to believe

man, he claims.-is the only well- made man. In thin system there is no need of God. Man can get along very well on his own resources for they are Ill wrapped up within him.

These ideas do not IIt.lIfy the hungry human soul. Jesus has giv- en man I new Ilgnlflconce, greater than all material things. "What," he Iold, "Shall I man give in ex- change for his soul" That. tic claimed is man's essential part. To Jesus so significant is mm that he gave his life to enable him to rise to what: God wants him to bo. Nothing in all the world can com- pare to mun in value.

Are those differences minor in character, Incl therefore capable of being resolved, or are they funda- mental, and therefore destined to remain, regardless of what dip- lomats on both sides may or may not do in their attempts to bring about some measure of mut- ual goodwill?

Lately I have been reading a thesis on this genei-II subject; it was written just fifty years ago by a Japanese scholar by the name of lyenagii, who at. the time was lecturing on International Affairs at the Urilvei-Ilty of Chicago. 13:- cause I found it intensely intox- estlng and timely. despite the cat. changes that hove taken p cc meanwhile in the Asian situation, I should like this week to share some of its contents with readers of this column.

0 O I

Dr. Iyenau stnrta out by saying. "It. is an every day Insertion among Western people: that everything Oriental is topsy-turvy: that they read backward, write backward. speak backward, Ind that this is only the 'obc of their cont.rarlet.y'; that. they place I. horse in the stable with his head where his tail ought; to be: that they use whito instead of black as a symboll of mourning, carrying babies on their back: instead of in their Irma: thot their men-the Chin- ese, that lo-wear sklru Ind their women trousers." (All of which is plain craziness to Westerners.)

Dr. Iyenags then goes on to speak of differences in temperament. "The temperament of the western- er ls nervous, whereas that of the Easterner is phlegmntlc. The habit of the former is active (always in a. hurry) that of the latter is slow (always leisurely). Eastei-ners are thrifty; Westerners (excluding me Scotch) Ire wiuteful, even ex- trnvsgant. The mlnnora of west- emera are blunt and course: their expreaslons direct and terse. The Easterners are polite in their manners. genial in their inter- course, and round-about in their speech."

(It will be kept in mind that these lines were written long be- fore Communism had become a prominent political doctrine: the Asiatic: themselves probably had not. heard much about it. Russia was being held in contempt.

pi-lnclpnlly becnuiio of her recent defeat and humiliation in she war with Japan.)

0 I 0

Even more pi-oiiounced. in Dr. lyena.ga'I opinion, were the differ- ences in mental Ittltude. "The Western mind", he wrote, "is secu- lar and empiric, whereas the East- ci-ii mind is spiritual and religious. This must. ultimately have some relation to the grand fact. that every creed accepted by the great races of mankind has had its origin in Asia. The white man in- vented the steam engine. but no religion which has endured.

"The truth is. the Western is essentially secular. that is, lntert on securing the objects he can see; and the Asiatic ementlolly .rellg- lous, that is. intent. on obedience to powers which he cannot. see but can imagine."

He then proceeds to bci-ate the West. for "not practising whatthey prooch," in this manner: "Europe. having agcepted with hearty confid- ence the voices of Peter and Paul about the meaning of what. I-i'IPIIi nlvlne Master said. regards all other systems of religious thought with contemptuous distaste and sums them up in its heart. as 'heathen rubbloh'. But. even to Christianity itself Europe has not paid due respect; or. in other words, has not. been loyal to its teachings.
