Scotsman the world over delight in as- sembling in open air gatherings to hear the music of the pibroch as it should be heard, and to watch, or take part, in manly sports and intricate dances. Those of the race who have come to this Island and those who were born here to save the fare over are no exceptions. The gathering of the clans is a notable event of the Summer, organ- ized by the Caledonian Club of Prince Ed- ward Island, but really made by the en- thusiasm of all who attend.

The choice of Strathgartney for this year's gathering is particularly apt. Historic associations and hilly beauty combine to provide an ideal gathering place. The Scots, being Seats, are not even perturbed if some brawny Sassenach joins in their Highland sports and somehow outdoes them

ideological Isolatlonlsts

Styles in leftist thinking, as in Paris gowns, are subject to change. Active P31” ticipation in blatantly 0P9ll C0mm"m5t' front organizations is no longer fashionable. Instead, there is growing up in Canada a new political breed who, while openly dis- avowing communism, openly smear al'ly0lle who speaks against it.

Inasmuch as present day Russian im- perialism hears about as little resemblance to the doctrines Karl Marx preached 38 it does to responsible government as we know it in Canada, the distress of these lost lib- erals -with a small ”l" is understandable. Nor is there any sign that Tim lBuck is willing to play the role of a Canadian Tito and lead them out of the intellectual wilder- ness.

Fact of -the matter is that these people are actually more of a menace than the straight communist party-liners. Consider their strategy and tactics and the truth of this assertion becomes abundantly clear. These "anti-anti-communists” denounced the Government's action in making secur- ity checks on officials in key departments in Ottawa as "witch-hunting, hysteria and red-baiting." They are all for Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom ma :- ing some spectacular "peace g6Stur9' f-0' wards the Soviet Union. While professing to oppose appeasement, they advocate com-

- promise whether the issue be Korea or the ' Berlin blockade. They subtly deplore what .' they call the "reactionary" attitude of those ' who openly attack communism. They argue

that Germany, not the Soviet Union, is the

- real menace to peace- They dlsplay a sym-

pathetic sentimentality about Tlto. . These are the people who, voluntarily or involuntarily, are the recruits in the Soviet Unionls latest strategy in psychological W31" fare. Their influence is not inconsiderable, and they often occupy respectable P05m0Il5- Nevertheless, they will bear watching.

lead of (trailer Maps

Although we generally think of increas- ing accuracy and added detail as being im- provements in map making, the experience of pilots of jet aircraft shows that this is not necessarily so. The Ottawa Citizen notes that these planes fly too fast to be able to use even the standard maps at eight miles to the inch produced for pilots. The jet aviator files so high and so fast that he literally files off the map before he can get a."flx" on landmarks. He needs a special map with only prominent topographical fea- tures indicated such as arterial roads, rall-

ways and cities.

This is only one field in which utilitarian simplicity has the advantage over pains- taking accuracy and detail. All too often

' it is found that the effort to achieve perfec-

tion results in ineffective puttcrlng and grostestrewards go to morecasualbutalm gin-minded dash and clan.

outposts with supplies, mail and medical services will be a gala occasion for those Canadians who live the rugged frontier life. as was the annual arrival of the old Nas- copie. But the new ship-is much better fitted for her task. She carries a helicopter for reaching remote cases requiring medical help, a radio-telephone for sending messages to Southern oenters,' and lnstruments- for hydrographlc surveying and weather re- search.

The C. D. Howe also boasts accommo- dations for staff and crew which would make the Nascopie veteran weep. Mr. J. G. Wright, head of the Arctic Division of the Department of Resources and Development has described her as a floating luxury ho- tel, with an important job to do.

William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, died this date 1718; he obtained the grant of land in then Colonial Americalfrom the Crown, and called it Pennsylvania after his father, Admiral Sir W. Penn; he made it a haven for persecuted Quakers, he himself having been imprisoned for publishing "Sandy Foundations Shaken." As it turn- ed out the foundations of his province be- came shaken; he was imprisoned for debt, and mortgaged the colony. Though he lacked administrative ability he was an in- calculable moral force, and wrote "The Great Cause of Liberty and Conscience.”

O O 0 Before British Parliament rose Prime Minister Attlee outlined the current government practice for consulting oth- er members of the Commonwealth on important matters. He said: ”It is the in- variable practice of the British Government to ensure that other members of the Com- monwealth are informed in advance of any matter which falls to be decided by this government and which may involve their in- terests. The object is to enable other gov- ernments to express any view they may wish to put forward and to enable the Brit- ish Government to take fully into account such views as our commonwealth partners may express." Usually there is time for consultations except that occasionally in some extreme instance one of the govem- ments might have to act quickly. I O O O

The butter-market is the all-absorbing subject of discussion in agricultural and commercial circles. The Federal Govem- ment purchased last year 50,000,000 pounds of butter at 58 cents a pound as a means of stabilizing the butter market. Of that amount, about 31,000,000 pounds were sold to the trade in carlots at Sold cents I pound. But, although it sold some putter ln foreign markets, such as Western Ger- many, the Government still could not rid itself of the remaining 19,000,000 pounds. Finally, as the new butter season began in April, the government made a deal with the trade under which the Government would reallzeslccntsapotmdforthcmnaliung butter and allowing the trade to get Govern-

Publishing the list in alphabet- ical order may have been more convenient for the Department of Education but is it exactly fair to the boys and girls who wrote these examinations to be left in confus- ion and dissatisfaction?

I Mid -Year Economic Review

(Built of Commerce Letter)

Canada can expect to sell more goods in the near future to the United Kingdom and the British West Indies. This forecast occurs in the current issue of The Can. adian Bank of Commerce Monthly Commercial Letter. The gold and dollarvreserves of the sterling area have improved recently, so that there will probably be some low- erin of the barriers against im- he .announced in London last September.

Business conditions in the United States are currently buoyant. This has its effect on Canadian business, since the two countries are ugh othei-'3 best customer. A: forecast by many at the turn of the year, Canada's. economy has continued in function at fairly high levels in relation to previous years.

Looking ahead for the next six manth-I. the effects of the Korean conflict on Canada's well-being are difficult to assess. The same is true of the comcng trade conference at To H; u a y. England. In addition, many segments of Europe's econ. 0m! are moving out of a deficit Position into one of surplus . Thus the market that existed there right after World War Ilifor Can- adian goods is becoming r A. itlve.

Exports to. and imports from the United States were at an all time high. However, the dollar value of Canadian exports to the United Kingdom dropped substan llally in the first quarter of the current year compared with -the same period in 1949. One would expect that devaluation of the pound would have led to mater- ially larger imports from England. but this was not the case.

Exports of beef cattle to the United States were almost double those for the same period last year. Farm cash incomes in the first quarter of this year were down slightly compared with the same period in 1949.

Since 1935 output of Canadian newsprint has grown from 3 mil- lion tons a year to 5 million at the present time. an increase of about 64 per cent. During the some per- iod United States newsprint pro- duction increased about 5 per cent.

The President's Message

(By W. N. EVOI)

The most important thing about President Truman's to Congress is the stress which it lays upon the fuel; that the aggression in Korea cannot. be thought of in isolation. The fight- ing - one hopes will - be incensed. But the problem which it. presents is not a local one. It is a problem set by the fact that we now have to recognise that the use of armed- aggression Is an instnuncnt of policy is not merely a tlicorcticai contingency but I practical possi- bility. The passage in the message on which the whole appeal is based is the one in which

Truman points out that what has -

happened in Korea proves that "we must recognize the possibility that armed aggression may take place in other areas".

Failure to realise this was one of the fatal blunders of the years before the war. Each not of or- greulori from the Japanese ' of Msncburla onwards was thowm. of as I local event, having no relevance to "other areas". i re- member s ' tingulshed French journalist in Geneva. in 1923. dis- missing what was happening in Manchui-la as unimportant for France, since Mnuchurla was ”so far away". His eyes were fixed on the Rhine. and he could not forc- scc that the chain of events which began with "the Mukden incident" would bring German armies eight years later to Paris.

Now Mr. Truman reminds the free world that the fact of ag- gression in Korea implies, and indeed proves, the possibility of Aggression in other parts of the world. And he accepts the deduc- tion that the U. S. A. and other frcc and peaceful countries must. be not only willing but adequately prepared to resist any further as- gression anywhere. If it is known that they have both the intention and the power to do this, then further aggressions are unlikely. But if they show weakncs, than '"ncw recourse to aggression in the world today might strain to the breaking point the fabric of world peace".

The conception of preserving pcicc by organising "collective sc- curlty" is no new one. It has until now been hardly more than I conception. Now, under the shock of the invasion of south Korea, it is becoming a reality. But there is still insufficient power to ensure beyond doubt that it will be effective. There is a "sip" to be filled. And the President calls upon his own people and on other free nations to fill that gap with- out delay.

Simultaneously with Mr. Tru- mkn's reminder that aggression in Korea. could be a prelude to lg- grcssion clscwiicro comes clear proof that there is no hope at pre- sent that Russia will cooperate in securing the restoration of peace In Korea itself. 4

Stalin's reply to Pandit Nehru and G1-omyko'I wnu-rsatlom with so Dsvd Kelly, are naturally identl in tone and content. They amount simply to this. That if the Chinese People's Govern- is admitted to the security council. the Soviet Union would then be willing to discuss what Gromyko only the "broad xor-an question” in the council. That and no more.

Mr. 'Achcson has rightly pointed out that the councils decision on the question of Ohinccc untatimi cannot be dictated by an act of aggression or made "under coercion or

Both the Nehru-Stalin corres- pondeiic- and the Kelly-Gromyko conversations make it quite clear that for the present the Soviet Government has not the slightest intention of using its influence with the North Korean Communists to bring this about.

The Prime ' ' t of Norway has said bluntly that "one word

from Stalin" would end the war.

in an houri The phrase. is not to be taken too literally. But the facts are plain enough. The soviet Government certainly has con- siderable influence with the North Korean Government. if that in- fluencc were used for peace. t-ho war would end. But the soviet. Government shows no willingness to use it. instead. it manly rc- pcsts, somewhat ii-relcvsntiy, its demand for the admission of the Chinese Communist: to the security Council. And so the war you on. And Mr. Trumln ll compelled-at we an all com- pcllcd - to "recounts: the vol!!- billzy that armed aggression may take place in other areas".
