It is now revealed that Premier Matheson success to bring about a compromise solution between the Provincial Marketing Board and dealers. It does not follow, of course, that all points

has been trying without

at view are represented by the two groups

, out even these two have proved irrecon- cilable. The solution, which it is stated was arrived at with reluctance, is to hold a pleb-

iscite supervised by the Government.

There is good reason for reluctance. On-9 taken by the Provincial Marketing Board and its mean- lng and authority challenged both by deal- srs and opposing farmers. In the nature of things a plebiscite is open to the criticism that its arbitrary wording did not permit the real expression of opinion. This would he the case unless every voter were asked

plebiscite has already been

to express his opinion in his own words. It will not be

tion about popular views than the knows better one questions

This would seem to be a time for the various interests concerned to show their reasonableness and willingness to make allowances for others points of view. It

should not be impossible to arrive at an

smicabie and considered settlement. After the plebiscite it will be necessary to draft I workable programme for the industry.

The Tragedy of India

!

meetings between Red China's Chou En-lai and Prime Minister Nehru at New Delhi? What is the attitude of thoughtful citizens of India towards Mr. Nehru's proposed visit to Peking?

A correspondent of the authoritative British quarterly, The Round Table, in an article entitled "The Foreign Policy of Mr. Nehru", offers a revealing insight into the Indian Prime Minister's obvious aspirations to assume the role of leader in Asia.

"Nehru," The Round Table's correspond- ent quotes one influential Bengali as assert- ing, "is neither I hedgehog nor a fox. If you must have a parallel, Tolstoy has found it for you, and in the animal kingdom too. He is a ram whom the shepherd is fatten- ing for slaughter. Because the ram is used as a bellwether for the rest of the flock, he imagines he is the leader of the flock, and that the other sheep go solely in obedience to his will. He thinks this, and the flock in India think it too. But the purpose of his selection is not the role he believes him- self to play, but slaughter-a purpose con- ceived by beings whose aims neithervhe nor the sheep can fathom."

Thoughtful folk, in India and elsewhere. have little doubt as to the identity of the slaughterer.

A culture For Canada

, One of the first terrestrial plants known to man was found in the Gaspe Peninsula. It is a poor little plant, a foot high, with- out leaves. Sir John William Dawson dis- covered it about the time of Confederation. It preceded the luxuriant and elegant trees and flowers of the carboniferous period by some seventy-five million years. A lesson in this discovery for those who are im- patient for displays of cultural progress in Canada is suggested in the Royal Bank of Canada News Letter. It will not take so long for our culture to develop as it did for Sir John's spindly little plant to grow into our vast forests, but it will take time. Cul- ture is not any more magically manufactur- ed than are trees and flowers.

0rphans' Appeal

The generosity of our people is fre- quently cailed upon to aid worthy causes ; which may, have little direct relation to our own community. The response is admir- able. The appeal to provide for the orph- aned children of our own Province, there- fore, can be expected; as always, to meet with a most generous response. Starting on Monday volunteer canvassers will be ap- proaching householders and others on be- half of the P. E. I. Protestant Orphanage. They will certainly not appeal in vain.

It is not enough, however, even to con- tinue the contributions of previous years. The expense of operating the foster home has been increasing and the number of chil- dren who are welcomed there continues high and is expected to tax the available accom- modation this winter.

The orphanage staff and authorities have done a splendid job over the years and have received encouraging support from the pub- lie in their task. Everyone has his or her own important concerns and responsibili- ties, but the children who have no homes of their own are also a responsibility which we have no right to shirk.

Mrs. H. S. Henderson, the spark plug of community effort on behalf of the orph- anage, is always grateful for contributions and for the assistance of voluntary work- ers. It is the rest of us, however, who should be grateful to her for making it pos- sible to work and give effectively.

A POLITICAL FOOTBALL?

sir.-On Wednesday evening -1' a meeting of potato producers and dealers at the Charlottetown Forum it was suggested by someone that there was danger that the entire marketing issue might become a political football.

Thai prophecy seems to be real-

tzod. on the occasion of the public meeting, the Premier stwted that

at a meeting of the. Government: which was being held the next day. he would discuss the matter with his colleagues Ind make an un- ouncement of their decision on Friday. , , Yesterday he did make an an- nouncement. It was not what. had been expected. It was simply a statement that his government could not come to s J i ' one way or another. and that the mat- ter was being thrown back upon the people in the form of I plebe-

What. is the matter? was there sny'lndecislon It the Wednesday meeting? Is his govsmment afraid to take it stand on the question of compulsory or voluntary market- ing? Why must the question be placed again before -the voters when at a mass meeting. their at- tltude was unequlvocably indicat- ed. Where did the politics creep into potato marketing? I am, Sir. etc.,

THE POTATO MEETING

Sir.-After attending the meet- ing of potato growers, shippers, dealers. assemblers and interested spectators at the Charlottetown ii-lorum on Wednesday evening, I was both enthused and disgusted of various remarks of some speak- rrs.

I was very much one of the. speakers using the ugly word "drunk" when he re- ferred to Mr. D. A. MacDonald. chairman of the Marketing Board. being drunk with power. I am sure that last fall, many of thi- farmers of Prince Edward Islanrl did not think Mr. MacDonald wis drunk in any manner when they went to him with the problem of marketing the potato crop, at which time they had been told by the potato dealers that the pos- sibillty of marketing the potato croplnt any price was very slim.

I doubt very, much if the0Pu- into and Turnip Dealers Associa- tion could have obtained the money from the Federal Govern- ment which was nbtllnt-.d by the P, E. 1. Potato Marketing 3081.3 to help pay the potato producers of this Province for the cost of producing their potatoes during I year of over-production and con- ssquently poor demand. such as we experienced last year.

I was very much disgusted with the rowdylsm displayed by mum! farmers present. by their infor- ruptlons, boos. csws, etc. It was quito evident that many csins to the. meeting only to cause trouble Ind prevent the speakers from being hen-d.,whlch to my wsy of thinking is nslthor I democx-out nor ressonnbis way of ,so)vIng I problem, If than some poopin- hsd listened to Mr. .MscDonsld'.s rebuttal been changed by his explanation of' why not favored ons rujlins agency in the Province. c ' It wss pointod,out It the roset- Ing. ify' rsorssohtstlvss of the Potato. and - Turnip Deniers Aspec- lstion thst' tho doslers wars, of grant help to the-fsrmerr by sup- plying thorn with fertiliser. spray

As s matter of fact. however. it got through the assembly with quite a respectable majority.

Newrihelesa. the Council passed the resolution on Race Relations, Foliowinz are I few comments from it: (1) Any form of segregat- ion based on race, colour, or ethnic origin, is contrary to the Gospel and incompatible with the Christ- ian doctrine of man and with the nature of the Church; (2) Anti; Semitic prejudice is incompatible with the Christian faith: (3) Mem- ber Churchcs shoxild removs 311 forms of segregation or discrimin- ation and work for their abolition within their life and within society; 14) All men are entitled to op- portunities for the of responsible citizenship: (5) The Ecumenical Movement by its very nature has been committed to s form of fellowship in which there is no segregation or discrimination.

some of the force was taken out of the resolution, however, and a little worldly realism put in, by the addition of this paragraph: "The Assembly is painfully aware that in the realities of the con- temporary world many churches find themselves confronted by historical, political, social, and economic circumstances which may make the immediate achievement of this objective difficult"
