That Causeway Report
The Party ‘of the Causeway should now get busy and find out what this. delay of “another couple of months” _ in the survey report is all about. Nor should it have to depend, as our Ottawa correspondent has had to do, on statements of departmental of-
-+ fieals.-The-majer—problems-now,-ac-—
cording to the deputy interviewed on Tuesday, would appear to be “how to minfmize the effects of throwing a solid chain of rocks across the Northumberland Straits” and “the size and type of bridge” to build in the causeway, to permit the passage of ships, fish, winter ice, tides and currents. In our innocency, we had thought these were major problems all along, and were being given close study from the start. We had also thought that these inquiries had beer’ completed, and were-now—and for some time past—only waiting to be coordinated, through the var- ious departments concerned, into one ’ final report. :
It is pleasing to note that the de- puty minister isn’t too much worri- ed, “at the moment,” about rock fill. If there is.a lack of this material
somewhere else. That, too, is now a suggestion of some antiquity ; but we were under the impression that its bearing on the project was import- ant because of the additional expense involved in transporting the fill.
We cannot understand why, in view of the importance of this under- taking, official progress reports are not released from time to time by the responsible minister. We made this suggestion a long time ago, and it was indorsed, as we recall, by the junior member for Queens, Mr. Mac- ' quarrie, in the House of: Commons. He didn’t have the Party of the Causeway behind him at that time; but he has now. Perhaps this first and most obvious, step in keeping our people informed will now be taken. There should be no reason for’ sec- recy, and none for ministerial buck- - passing, with thé two party govern- ments in line andi not a_ Liberal scalawag on the horizon to spoil the harmony.
EDITORAL NOTES
Governor General Vanier entered upon his responsible duties this week “with a prayer for divine help and a firm assertion* that Canadians are united regardless of their national origin.” This is an auspicious begin- ning. He will need the help, and we shall all profit by the national unity.

The intelligence services of the United States, Great Britain and France, working independ- ently, have failed to discover the truth about Josef Stalin's death. What they will do with the in- formation if it is ever obtained has not been disclosed, but they are still trying.
There are several different ver- sions of the time, place and cause of the old Russian dictator's death. Completely different ver-

One suggestion, investigat- ed without success, is that Posk- rebyshev withheld the news from Khrushchev and his associates while he and Beria were perfect- ing their plan to seize power. Seems unlikely—that Khrushchev would tell a story which he knew to be untrue to so important a man as Harriman.

Khrushchev says he wants to show the world—and\by that he probably means mainly Asia, Africa and Latin America, to which the balance of world power is shifting—that communism can provide a more abundant and pleasant life than capitalism.

Thee conditions have changed vastly in recent years. and for- eigners in Russia say the regime now is faced with increasing de- mands for more change, more fredom, more of the things that make life easier. ?
Khrushchev has promised some of these things. Unless a new round of repression is in store, he will be under. strong pressure to produce.
The trouble is that a slacken- ing in the arms race would seem to hinge on a solution to the Ger- man and Berlin issues, in par- ticular. Neither side has given any sign of being at all willing
to change its attitude on either.

“Let no one interfere,” said the immortal CHURCHILL—‘iLet no one interfere with the asperity and rancor of personal opinion.”
Thus British elections have al- ways been. fought, and thus, too, will the present one be fought, judging by its opening salvces. Hear, for example, Mr. Gaitskell:
“The Labor Party~ must fight the stuffe- shirt snobbery that still disfigures society in Britain.’
And consider a Labor pamphlet
entitled “The Tory ndle,”’ which notes that 13 cabinet minis- ters, including Mr. “wear the old school tie of Eton”, and adds: “a democratic government should include representatives of all sections of the people and not be drawn only from one, narrow and privileged class. Mr. Mac- millan’s method of recruiting his government belongs to the 19th. and not the mid-20th, century.
This is not as fierce as the things Randolph Ohurchill used to say of Gladstone, or as savage as
say about Irish, and vice versa, or as searing as Lioyd George's attacks on the aristocracy—‘‘they whose hands are dripping with the fat of sacrilege’’—or to be com- pared with the Times’ lines on O'Connell: “Dirty' scum of Irish
