A Doubtful Policy

Reports from Moscow indicate
that the Soviet leaders will be in
no hurry to respond to the Ameri-

can and British overtures for a re-
newal of diplomatic efforts to ar-

range a summit meeting.
This should surprise noone.
Rightly or wrongly, the Russians

believe that Western Governments. |

did not do all they might have done, —

at the start of the latest Middle
Fast crisis, to arrange a meeting of
heads -of governments. Indeed, the
Russian view is that their own at-
tempts were frustrated at every
turn. This, of course, is a case of
the pot calling the kettle black.
Nevertheless, it is no ‘secret that
Secretary of /State Dulles, in par-
ticular, and President Eisenhower
in less dogmatic. manner, were luke-
warm, if not actually sc hg to the
idea, 4
Then, too, it must be recognized
that Communist China, for better
er worse, is playing an increasingly
dominant part in Soviet-bloc politics.
There seems -no doubt whatever
that it was the Chinese leaders who

dissuaded Premier Khrushchev from —

the summit meeting plan only a. few
days after he had consented, grud-
gingly, to meet other heads of
Governments in talks under the
aegis of the. Security Council.

The Chinese, of course, want to

be represented at any summit meet- ;

ing that might be held;/and this is
out of the question as long as they
are not represented in the United
Nations and not “recognized” by
the United States: and some other
members, Just how long a nation of
600 million people can be kept out
of the world body is a question that.
is becoming increasingly urgent as

time goes on and one crisis follows .

another. The British Government is
reported coming around to the view
that it is a situation which does not
lend itself to political realism or to
the present relatively mild interlude
fin East-West tensions. And even in

U.S. Congressional circles doubts of |

the wisdom. of the policy are being
expressed with increasing emphasis.’

Burning The Victory Bonds

In the first basement below the
Bank of Canada’s Public Debt divi-
sion at Ottawa is “the room of the
20 locks”, eventual destination of
the millions of Victory Bonds now
being exchanged for new ones under

.the Canada Conversion Loan pro-.

gram of 1958. The 20 padlocks are
part of the elaborate security mea-
sures taken by the bank’s auditor,
the Department of Finance, the
Audit Suspense section of the bank
and the chief of the Rublic Debt divi-

sion. All such measures are to pro-

tect the public against even the
remote possibility of cancelled bonds
getting back into the market.

All converted Victory Bonds}
after first being plainly marked

“cancelled” will end up as ashes in .

one of the two specially-built incin-
erators'in this heavily guarded and
protected room, Locks in sets of

‘four are placed not only on the doors

@f the incinerators but on ‘any other
sections of furnaces which provide
possible entrance to the fire-box
such as the flue cleanouts. Five sets
ef padlocks are used in this one
room. Bee
Procedure for burning bonds is
thorough and quick. The Publie Debt
division keeps a rigid destruction
schedule in order that its storage
space may not become overcrowded.
Never before, however, has it faced
a bond-burning operation of the size
which results from the present six
billion dollar conversion program,
All bonds, after having been pro-
cessed through the Audit Suspense
section where they are checked, re-
eorded and photographed on micro-.
film are stored for at Jeast\one year.
The night previous to the burning,
they are taken from the storage
vault shelves in the presence of four
officials, one representing each of
the departments concerned. They
are placed in wheeled carriages five
feet by five feet by two feet which
are each secured by four locks. The’
department representatives are each

responsible for one lock on the car-
riage and remain in possession of
the keys. These carriages remain in
the locked. vault overnight.

The next morning, the carriages
are taken down to a. room:connected
to the incinerators by two chutes.
Here, two teams of bank employees
are waiting, one team remaining at
the top of the chutes and. sliding
the bonds down ito the white: collar
stokers at the incinerator level be-
Tow. After all the bonds are in the
incinerators the next set of pad-
locks is closed, the entire operation
being under the constant scrutiny of
the two groups of officials.,

For two days the bonds are left
in the furnace to burn. Then, the

ashes are carefully sifted and ex-'

amined to make sure that not a
trace of the bonds remain. Again
the four representatives participate
in the examination.

Burning of the Victory Bonds will
probably take place next: summer.

In the meantime, the heavy influx —

of cancelled bonds will encourage

the bond-burners to hasten the burn- >

ing of other cancelled bonds to make
room on the storage vault shelves.
At all times, the public can be as-
sured that a converted Victory Bond

having completed its mission will be -

eventually converted once more, this

_ time into part of one of the most

thoroughly examined ‘ash wi in
the world.

An Obvious Kis

The Prime Minister has told Par-
liament that “everything that. can
possibly be done should be done and
will be done” to aid the Republic of

Eire and Northern Ireland in the un-.

fortunate situation which the Irish

people are facing asa result. of heavy

floods and consequent damage to the
potato. crop.

There is obviously a need not only
for potatoes but for other food pro-

‘ducts. 0 which there are surpluses

in this. country. It would’ be a fine

gesture, indeed, if some of these pro-

ducts were made available in response

to a call for aid. It would be a finer -

one still if the Government would act
on its own initiative without waiting

for a formal request. If the need is

obvious, so is Canada’s ability to help.

In this matter of relief, equal re-
cognition in principle will, of course,
be given to both needy areas. It may,
however, be found practical to give

the Republic first consideration, since

the Northern counties are a part of
the United Kingdom and, as such, will

no doubt receive preferential aid from

- the central Government.. :
It has been suggested that surplus

potatoes in this Province be allocated

to the Irish people in this time of cri-

sis. Assuming that there is a sur-

plus this fall—it would be unusual if
there were not—we hope that the

necessary arrangements will be in-

stituted without undue delay. It ought

not to be a very difficult thing to do.
It certainly would be a Pao
undertaking.

FORT AMHERST CEREMONY |

Sir:—The Prince Edward Is-
land Historical Society wishes to
express its thanks and apprecia-
tion. to all those who co-operated

“in making the Fort Amherst Day
‘eeremony such a suecess. The ex-

cellent co-operation we received
from the Navy, Army and
R.C.M.P. | was invaluable and
most welcome. Our ‘special
thanks to. Pipers Bruce MacLar-

en and John Evans whose music
vate so much to the event. The
Guardian, Patriot and CFCY
were, as usual, most generous in
their support of this historic

event. : :

The fact that, over one thousand
people gatheréd to take part in
the ceremony is ample evidence
of the tremendous ‘interest. which
is taken'in the proposed establish-
ment of a National Historic Park
on this site. The large gathering
was greatly impressed with the
beauty of the location and many

remarks were heard about the re--

matkable preservation of the old
ruins of the Fort.

As we were all guests of Mr.
J.O. Hyndman: on that beautiful
Sunday afternoon; we are, doubly
indebted to him for preserving the
site over a long period of years
and for his kind hospitality to the
large gathering on Sunday, With
the pipes skirling, the flags, de-
corations and colorful uniforms,
old Fort Amherst was a sight that
will be long remembered by those
who were there.

The Historical Society is work-
ing to have the Fort and: the old
settlement of Port La Joie restor-
ed. We should, welcome the sup-
port of all citizens through mem-
bership in our Society and we
hope for the support of other or-
ganizations, interested in the wel-
fare of the community and the
establishment’ of a National His-

toric Park in this Province.

FEDERAL EXPENDITURES

Sir:—In_ replying te ‘‘Dis-
appointed Tory’? in your column
of Tuesday's. Guardian, a few
thoughts have occurred to me.

We all know that Federal Gov-
ernment spending is at an ali, time
high, such as extending. airports,
building federal buildings, war-
ves, naval barracks, etc. This has
been done partly to aid unemploy-
ment. Now. I ask you what is.this
but help for the working man?

In regard to help for the farm-
er, a committee has been. set up
in Ottawa to study and revise the
entire system of farm - credit.
For goodness sake give them
time! After all, the electorate was
most generous with the former
Liberal administration; they gave
them 22 years.

The disappointed Tory mentions
the $75,000 which the Federal
Government is ‘prepared to spend
restoring Fort Amherst, and I
dete*t a rather sarcastic note,
Well now, if the St. Laurent Ad-
ministration could spend sixteen
million taxpayers’ dollars on a
printing bureau that is only half
done and is taking in water like

a sieve, surely John Disfenbaker

tists who examined the baci ead
agreed.

But the Danish government
said the Skate was being banned

perts. And British scientists pre-
ferred to have the Nautilus in

‘pather London. This, along with
scientific comment from other
European, countries, would indi-
cate that-even professional opin-,
jon is uncertain. -

‘One British scientist explains it
this way: ‘Whenever there is’
something and new, you
are bound to get varied opinions
until the thing is fully known. And
atomic energy is complex, rela-
tively new, and certainly not fully
understood by everyone.”

This was the case with steam
in 1819 when Copenhagen harbor
officials refused to allow a steam-
ship into port until the fire was

‘| of an uel.

put out and: there was no senate

Atomic energy perhaps got off
to a smooth start in England. be-
cause it was {introduced through
plants, and it was energy port-
rayed as a simple source of elee-
tricity, However, when radioactiv-
ity spread from a burning pile at
the Windseale plant last year, a
wave of fear swept the country.
Cows on neighboring farms were
ordered destroyed and all homes
were checked for danger. i

Seientists later concluded the
danger was negligible. There
were several other accidents in
nuclear: plants, the latest last
June in the big Calder Hall es-
tablishment. However, these con-
cerned equipment apart from na-
dioactive material, and there was
no danger, scientists said.

In the cas® of the submarines,
a scientist said it is “understand-~
able’ for some people to be ap-
prehensive until convinced of the
safety factor. “We all know that
radioactivity is frightfully dangey-
ows, but we don't know its com-:
plete effects over a period of
time, and until we know this,
along with treatments, there is
no point in taking chances.”

However, he added: “The
American submarines arg, I be-
lieve, quite safe and reliable,”

The Kingdom of Jordan, set
squarely in the midst of the
stirife-torn. Near East, is the land
where the Good Samaritan show-
ed what it means to be a neigh-
bor.

While traveling along the road
from Jerusalem. to Jericho, the
Samaritan found a man who had
been left for dead by thieves. A
priest and a Levite had coldly
passed by the victim, but the com
passionate Samaritan bound up
his wounds and set him on the
road to recovery.

Society says. The little town of

also lies within its borders. About

Jesus is believed to have been
baptized, -
SOLOMON’S PORT

In Jordan are the lands of
Edom, Moab, and Ammon through
which the Children of Israel pas-
sed, and the site of King Sol-

can spend $75,000 preserving the
histori¢ past; and, incidentally,
building that park will provide a
lot of jobs for a lot of Islanders.

I also wonder if most Islanders
realize that quite apart from the
seven and a half million involved
in the roads to resources plan
Mr. Diefenbaker -is sending over
8 million dollars including special
grants to Prince Edward Island
this year. In my opinion. nobody
can accuse our federal members
of apathy; instead they can be
commended for their tangible in-
terest and dedication.

And finally, Mr. Editor, if our
Premier is not afraid of a Pro-
vincial. election, then why did
he bring in a hastily constructed
amendment to our Civil Service
Act in the dying moments of our
last Legislature?
