situation that the ganadian Fabrics Foundation was established I few. years ago. In Mr. Gaut.hier's words. "the job we've cut out is a full scale . and full time promotion of Canadian fabrics to Canadians. There's no question that such an organization is badly needed."

The emphasis of this course, quite properly, is'on quality rather than on prices contpetitive with those of Japan. If by a systematic plan oi promotion, Canadian manufacturers of clothing can show that made-ln- Canada fabrics are, in fact. superior in quality to the imported articles. the fact that they may cost a bit more should not seriously interfere with their sales. There is no doubt that in the past Canadian industry in many of its branches has been slow about promoting the domestic market. Consequently, there has been

far too niucli readiness to believe that an impoited article is neces- saril) better than the locally pro-

duced one. 2

Mr. Churchill

it is reported that Sir Winston ('hurchill is considering retiring from the llouse of Commons on Nov. 30, his Rind birthday anniversIfY- Tht' do ug h t y statesman himself has neither confirmed nor denied the report, and its reliability cannot by any nicans be taken for granted. It will be recalled that a year or two before he actually handed over the reins of government the press was regarding his retirement as immin- ent. However, his attendance in the Commons these days is not much more than a formality, and it is probable that he feels the time has come to put the finishing touches on a career which has yielded all he. has to give in service to his country. And what a service it was! For a thousand years to come the histor- ians will hold it up as I shining example of what brilliance combined with courage and patriotism can do for a nation. and, indeed, for hu- manity. I It is expcctctl that if the great man does leave the Commons this fall be will be offered a dukedom by Her Majesty the Queen. To most men this would be a coveted honor, btit it. is doubtful that it will carry much appeal to Sir Winston. His

had to be triggered into action by "individual members of the Security ('nIln('il acting within the terms of the charter, but on their own in-

itiative." Those were Mr. Pearson's

words in M50. What. would have happened if Truman's western allies had gone back on him then or the Soviet representative had been pres- ent to veto the move in the Security Council? It would be just as "sad" a spectacle of disunity as we have today; and we wonder what the Prime Minister of Canada would have said about it.

Domestic Markets

Tlwre seems to be no question that the Canadian textile industry is facinfz heavy and increasing com- petition from abroad, particularly from Japan where wages and other production costs are much lower than they are in this country. This has resulted over a five year period in it gradual falling off in sales, Nmrdlns to Mr. .1. P. C. Gauthier, manager of the Canadian Fabric; Foundation, the Canadian producers' share of the home market in textiles last year amounted to only 56"; of the total, compared with more than 70'.: in l950. In that year, the best In its history, the industry sold about St billion worth of gbods and paid out 3180 million In wages to some 90,000 workers. The sales, wages and number of workers employed are much lower at the present time, , There does not appear to be much hope of the Industry's being pro- tected to any great extent by high

acceptance would signify deference to the wishes of his sovereign. but it would not add anything to his stature. After a lifetime in the ('.om- mons, a great part of it in the place of leadership and power, a seat in the l.ords would be a mild and unin- spiring anti-climax to incomparable achievement. It was as plain Mr. Churchill that he rose to the heights of fame and made the whole world his debtor. It will be as Mr. Churchill that he will be praised and honoured in the history books and 'by genera- tions yet unborn.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Trade Minister Howe says he finds the strength of the Canadian dollar. in relation to its American counterpart, "embarrassing." What most of us find embarrassing is the little it will buy at. today's prices.

A new corn post has hit agri- culture in the Southern States. Call- ed ”witchweed" it destroys corn and some other crops by attacking the roots. Agricultural officials are very much concerned about it. They say that. if ifnchccked, it could be a worse destroyer than the corn-borer which costs American farmers more than -W0 million annually.

It remains to be seen whether resolutions of the various Provincial Boards of Trade relative to the po- tato tariff qucstion will have any immediate effect on the Federal Government. Probably not. But the unanimity with which the organiza- tions see the need of some protection for the Island's potato industry should in the long run bring bene- ficial results.

At 33rd Street negrncs slouched in doorways. and occnsl9fIIllY WE passed a withered old man sitting motionless ln s shabby chair. The sunshine glean-led on the toplell towers. and the cross streets were clear-cut shady canyons.

Eighth Avenue is not a fsshlnn-- able boulevard. There is e listless. down-at-beelsslr about it. Ind ill! people you meet in It are care- lessly attired. Half-way towards the Post Office we went into the Port Authority bus terminal. a vast cavern in which the bulb! themselves are as carefully con- cealed as are the trains in Grand Central.

We arrived hnllcss at ldlewlld yesterday afternoon. We cluitltt our first sight of Manhattan from 10.00!) feet up. and then banked and slithered through a fog bank until we touched down on the run- way after a glorious night from Gander. .

Now we are sitting in a rharm- lng mid-Manhattan apartment. Our host and his wife are up in New England for the weekend, and we have the place to ourself. It is the time to try to sort out e new first impressions.

TAXI JOCKEY

The first New Yorker to make a lively Impression on our mind was the Negro taxi driver who drove us along the Parkway from the airport at 70 miles an hour In his bright red cab. He more than lived up to our preconception of a New York taxi driver.

With his radio blarlng away he overtook other cars on the inur- lane highway without ever stop- plng to talk. wanted to drive us to Chicago. he failed to sell us on the idea be suggested Washington. Ultimately. he oner- ed to sell us New York fer 25 doi- hrs. "For keeps," he said. offering us a Chesterfield in return for s Players.

It's necessary to belabor this fact to make the point that UN is not a sovereign with the ap- paratus of sovereignty. There can be no law, according to the best authorities. without a sovereign. There can be no law without san- ctions. meaning the power of pun- labment or coercion of offenders. - UN can pass resolutions about san- ctions. It has yet to Impose sanc- tions on anybody: though in Kor- ea they were imposed by an al- liance consisttn, of about one third of UN'a membership. FOLLOWED PRECEDENT

BALL GAME

We asked one of them why then were so many in town. He told us that the Army had bsatdi Col- umbia by 60 points to nil in a ball game. and that about 1400 West Pointers had come to town to cele- brate. We saw dozens of these erect and cheerful young men be- ing greeted by pretty girls in par- ty frocks la the foyer of the Sher- aton Hotel. That prodigious mon- ument of journalism. the Sunday edition of the "New York Times." confirmed the victory. along with the news that the Hearts had beat- en Falkirk by two goals to none.

SERMON

Already we have samped the Joys of a drug store. rldde on an express subway from the Central station to uni: street. and been in Church. where we heard our host. the Rev. Dr. David Reed. preach a stirring sermon to a congress- tinn, utterly different from the one with which we wursbippd last Sun- day In Mornlngaide.

This afternoon. after completing our business In Eight Avenue, we took a cab to Central Park and walked along Its winding paths to the entrance opposite East 90th Street.

We can understand why New Yorkers are so fond of their vast park. The sun was shining bright- ly on the surrounding sky-scrap- era and hot though it was by our standards. the skating rink was crammed with a cheerful throng of brightly clad young people ctr- cllng the frozen surface In an enm- mous same of ring-around-the-rot es.

It ls irrelevant to ask if what they dirt was "legal" since there is no law on the subject. The nearest approach to a law is a consensus against ”aggrcssivii" but nobody has ever been able to define that word acceptably. There are occas' -l clearcul examples. like Hitlerls attack on Poland tlhough even that was disguised by Hitler as a rcprisal for border incidentsr: but there are many more doubtful or borderline cases like Israel's move In Sinai. It has been suggested that Wildels defin- ltlon of vulgarity as "other peo- pleis manners." will do for ag- gression too.

What has In be asked about Franco - British intervention is not whether it was legal but wha- ther is was wise To go further back than that. let us ask: Why did it seem wise to Eden and Mol- let? An answer requires a capsule history of the Middle East since about 1948 when Israel came in- to being.

CREATED BY CONOUEST ,

Israel was created by invasion- and conquest against the will of the inhabitants of Palestine. Its establisliment was a grievous in- jury to the Arabs who regarded Palestine as their homeland and to their Arab neighbors. It would not have been necessary if the spacious countries. especially the U.S. had been willing to receive the persecuted Jews of Europe. as refugees; but they were not.

Against all the best advice ob- tainable. but under extremely heavy American and Zionlst pres- sure, the UN assembly by malar- ity vote in 1947 decided that Pales- tine should be partitioned and that one of the halves should be a Jew- lsb state.

But it was not the UN's will that prevailed. First, UN never had the ghost of a plan for enforcing its decision. UN wanted the Arab and Jcwis Palestine: to be feder- ated In an economic union; this has not been done. UN said that s neu- trel. dlsarmed Juusalcm should be put under a UN trustceshlp: instead Jerusalem is the armed capital of Israel. UN drew boun- daries; but its line is not the line on current political maps.

It was the will of the Jews that prevailed - and by military force. EGYPTS AMBITION

As soon as Israel was born. the Arab states moved to destroy it. They failed lgnomlnously. They should have accepted the conse- quences of defeat. After all. they have lived for centuries with a Jewish minority in their midst. They could live with a Jewish state. They decided that they did not want in Mainspring of the Cairo revolution of 153 that put Nasser in power was the ardent desire of Egyptian military men to build armed forces that could challenge Israel to a second round and this time will.

Mr. Percy B. Jenkln of the Her- lld and Associated Publlcatlo in Melbourne, Australia. stated that conditions were not as bad in Aus- tralia as they were painted by the American Press. Mr. Jenkins arrived in Canada about three weeks ago and intends to write a sgecial series of articles on Can- a a.

TEN YEARS AGO (November 17. 1043) The death occurred at the P.E. f. Hospital Saturday night of Dr. Houston. well-known Char- lottetown physician. He was 71 years of age. The late Dr. Hous- ton was born at New Glasgow and received his education at Prince of Wales College. He then enter- ed McGlll University as s medl- csl student and graduated from that institution in INC.

A lianfzer at Mount Pleasant is being made available for potato storage and according to Mr. sen- fard Philips. ()'Loisry. it should be lluaaible to commence making use of it early next week. Mr. Philip! said that it would hold between 75 and 100 csrloads of tstoea and would be of lnestlmabe bene- fit to the farmers in the vicinity.

What could the responsible aa- tlons have done? To begin with. "193! could have supplied a force to patrol the Arab-Israeli borders. ldon't speak from hind-sight be- cause I wrote. in June. ms. in the Canadian International Journ- al: "The establishment of Israel. as was at all times certain. bed to be a military undertaking. Its sur- vival will require guarantees by Ilmnser Powers . . . The alterna- tives for the rest of the world en la) tottlns the Jews and Arabs light to a knockout or (b) creat- I i-crmeaent guardianship for newest addition to the inter- national family."

Instead of doing this. the West- tern powers made a pane of sup-
