Heartening Indications How to move the world toward “a just and lasting peace” was the theme of President Kennedy's ad- dress before United Assembly yesterday. It spiring speech, and it came at a time when it snould have the maxi- mum effect upon world thinking. It Prime Minister in the ations was an in- tied in nicely with Pearson’s address on Thursday, which the need for strengthening United Nations peace-keeping ma- chinery was emphasized. In the main, too, it was in harmony with the remarks of the Soviet foreign minister, Mr. Gromyko, which were | couched unusually conciliatory terms. Mr. statement 18-nation d ference to be held in Moscow in the first half of 1964, This will require a good deal of cautious considera- tion on the part of the Western powers. As Mr. Pearson said in a press interview, it he a “great mistake” to reject it out of hand; but there would have to be careful preparations so that any failure lead to deeper disappointments in this field. President Kennedy sprung a sur- prise when he suggested that the present pause in the cold war be in Gromyko’s most arresting as his proposal for an rmament summit con- | would would not dramatised by a 1 ‘oviet expe- dition to the moon, h the two eountries pooling research and ex- perience in space. This is not so far- fetched as it might seem, for a rel- atively modest but encouraging beginning has already been made be- the im co-operative space research tween the United States and Soviet Union. The two countries have under- taken to exchange weather data, to bounce radio transmissions off a satellite to he launched next year by the U.S., and work together in map- ping the earth’s magnetic field in apace. Under this arrangement, a | “hot line” between Washington and | Moscow will carry cloud pictures | taken by satellites and other weath- er data within six hours after re- ceipt so that the information will be useful in forecasting. The two * countries will share equally in the cost of the line. When this agreement was an- nounced a few weeks ago, enthus- jasts predicted that at some future time a Russian and an American astronaut might share a space cap- sule, or an American satellite might ride a giant Soviet rocket to a dis- tant. planet. The enthusiasts may be closer to what the future has in store than most of us have given them credit for. Tt is heartening to note this changed atmosphere following the signing of the nuclear test ban agreement, which has already done more to ease world tensions than anything that has happened in the past decade. Cause Of Confusion When the Pearson Government took office it announced its inten- . tion to follow through with an elec- tion promise to appoint both a Min- ister and an Associate Minister of _ Agriculture. One of these ineum- \ bents was to be made specially re- le for ite Eastern Canada. No legislation t introduced to give effect to this | policy, and the result is a situation | which, in the view of The Country ) Guide, an influential farm monthly published in Winnipeg, is very con- fusing. Hon. Harry Hays from Alberta us served as Minister of Agricul- tare, but the man stated te Be ne- sociated with him, Hon, Rene Trem- blay from Quebec, continues in the cabinet as minister without port- folio, Although given an office in the Department of Agriculture, Mr. Tremblay appears to be taking little active part in its work. Moreover, he has not become known to farm people or to their leaders, nor does he appear to be getting a first hand insight into the problems and com- plexities of the national agricultural situation, Mr. Hays, on the other hand, while having to answer for the full range of the Department’s activ- ities, is in the unhappy position of not knowing whether he will be sharing his responsibilities in the near future. Finally, of course, the continued and prolonged doubt about the leadership of the Department is disquieting to farm organizations. No one seems to know what to ex- pect or exactly where they stand. “Those concerned with the wel- fare of the agricultural industry,” says The Guide, “cannot help but think that the delay and indecision in settling the question of min jal authority has had a considerable bearing on the failure of the Lib- eral Government to introduce its farm program. With the single ex- ception of grain policy, which for the most part is being handled by the Department of Trade and Com- merce, any suggestion of new in- itiatives has been conspicuous by its absence. “Other than dealing with the routine matters, little of any con- sequence has been accomplished. In fact, the new Government has steadily refused to even say where it stands with respect to a number of important agricultural election promises. The impression one gets is that it really doesn’t know which way to turn.” Agriculture, the article concludes with “certainly requi more than a caretaker administra- tion in the nation’s capital to deal with its problems.” Honoring Sir Winston The British government is re- portedly prepared to consider sug- gestions that Sir Winston Churchill be made an honorary life member of the House of Commons. The sug- gestion, first mooted when Sir Win- ston announced his retirement from the House, has gained substantial support and it is expected that at the next session of the British Par- liament a move will be made on the part of some private MPs to give Sir Winston this new status. The Government would then have private consultations with the opposition before committing itself. Unanimity would be desirable in bestowing such a signal honor, nor do we imagine that Sir Winston would accept it from the House on any other terms. In any case. it would entail an important change the Constitution. The change, would involve the creation of a special “constituency”. rather like the Chiltern Hundreds—a nominal paid office under the Crown for which an MP applies when he wishes reason, in | to resign his seat. In fact Sir Win- ston would “represent” a non-exis- tent constituency. A special Act of Parliament would be necessary to effect the change. It is said that some Labor mem- bers might dissent to such a pro- posal, unless similar provision was made to honor Lord Attlee; in which case the Government would quietly drop the idea. But surely Lord Att- lee would be the first to agree that Sir Winston is in a class by himself! All who were associated with him in Britain’s wartime government share in the credit of its achievement, but who but Winston Churchill could have led the nation to victory at that time, and put the whole free world so deeply in his debt? The British Commons woutd honor itself if it made a gesture of this kind in recognition of Sir Winston’s unparalleled services. It would please the great man, too, if tendered wholeheartedly—perhaps more than any other tribute it is in the power of the nation to bestow. EDITORIAL NOTE ‘he Canada Gazette shows that the net outstanding unmatured debt of Canada on July 31 was $18,037,- 200,000. That represents about $1,000 per Canadian. The increase in the total since last year was $1,604,200,000 or some $90 per capita.

The 20th century has dawned before it ended Today the cathedral in Zanzi- bar is a reminder of those dark times. It stands on the very site of the former slave market that market which aroused such bit- ter determination in the famous missionary-explorer David Lid- stone who did more other single man to end slavery. The very history of Zanzibar has complicated its modern pol- itical problems. For 2,000 years the dhows have been sailing in- to its harbour from far across the Indian Ocean. It dominated Kast Africa as a slaving an trading centre. And so in the nature of things its population was a cosmopolitan one . of many races and religions there are Africans As- jans Christians and Animists. three-quarters of the people are Africans many of them descend- ants of former slaves.

Rear-Admiral H.F. Pullen, Chester Basin, N.S. In The Atlantic Advocate In 1864 a ship called the Queen Victoria took the Fathers of Con- federation from Quebec to Char- lottetown, Halifax and Saint John and back to Quebec. This voyage might well be called the prelude to Confederation, and certainly the Queen Victoria had a part to play in this great per- fod in Canadian history. This ship was built by Robert Napier and Sons at Govan {n 1856. She was an iron steamship of 300 horsepower with twin screw propellors. Her dimes. sions were as follows: tength 173 feet, beam 30 fect, and depth in the hold 16.5 feet. According to the shipping Register at Quebec she had one desk and two masts, | built for Mr. Francis Baby of Quebec, and had a sister ship called Na- poleon III. The government held a mortgage on both ships and took them over in 1859. October, 1866. Her sister ship Napoleon III was lost in a gale | off the entrance to Little Glace Bay on 18th October, 1890. In 1964 we will be celebrating the events which paved a way to Confederation and the bit the Dominion of Canada, A great deal {s known about what took place in 1864, but apparentty no e can say what the Queen Victoria looked like. Here is a ship which should be known to every student of Can- adian history, but like so many ships which have made their contribution to our progress, they have sailed away unknown, unrecorded and forgotten. A very thorough search has been made to try and find a pic- ture, a setch or even the plans of the Queen Victoria, but so far without success. If any of your readers have any knowledge of this Canadian ship or know where I can find a picture of her would they please get in touch with me.
