PAGE 4 Cabinet s Responsibility While there has been no announce- ment as to the decision reached by the Federal Cabinet on the 17 per cent freight rate increase, the impression seems to be that an effort will be made to avert the general strike call- ed for Dec. 1 through a temporary subsidy to meet the union demands, and that a Royal Cummission will be appointed to look inte our grievan- ees with regard to the freight rates setup. Nothing short of a full inquiry into the latter problem will satisfy these Atlantic Provinces. The terms of reference for a, commission vested with such responsibility will have to be much wider. than those under’ which the Board of ‘Transport Com- missioners are operat! ‘ng, for they seem never to have gotten away from the ‘idea of horizontal percent- age rate increases. The result has . been a succession of exorbitant char- ges imposed on long haul traffic to offset the highly competitive rates — which the railways” are obliged — to maintain in the Centra! Provinces. According to Mr. Donald _Gor- not fair to say that an increase in freight, rates _ affects the Atlantic and Western Provinces more than - other parts” of Canada.” We want evidence for that statement, and Mr. - Gordon should be obliged to provide ‘it.

Ane does hat in so far concerned, held by the ‘Duncan Commission and — the Freight Rates” Act. But since the railways themselves have argue ed their case on the cost and. revenue basis, the rates established to meet zompetition lower _ than necessary, and which do not cover out-of-pocket gosts but are a drain on all other traffic, is surely a legitimate issue for “Maritime spokesmen to raise. . In addition to the data which’ the Maritimes Transportation - Commis- sion has prepared on the impact of horizontal rate increases on the ecom- ony of the Atlantic Provinces, a a strong case could be developed on the politic and economic aspects of the distribution of prosperity and econo- ce mic opportunity throughout all sec- _ tions of; the Dominion. These issues are relevant to our transportation grievances, and to our claim that in effect the Maritime Freight Rates Act has been sabotaged by a series of rate boosts which now threaten our very existence as continuing part- ners in Confederation. We trust that whatever decision is reached by the Federal Cabinet, this grievance will be taken into ac- count. If not, we can assure the Government that there will be ‘strong resentment in this part of Canada, which gave such generous Support to Conservative candidates fw the last election. The E.C.M.

A widely-held view—which . that this country’s export trade will be seriously hurt by the devélop- ment, The situation was briefly sum- med up, in language that almost anyone can understand, in a recent issue of the “Commercial Letter’, put out by the Canadian Bank of Commerce. “The European Common Mar- ket”, reported the. Letter, “has been founded on acceptance of re- gional specialization and multilater- alism and is expected to grow in economic power as the barriers to the untrammelled working of these principles are progressively lowered. The six countries are France, West . Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Italy, all now committed by treaty to a stage-by- stage reduction in tariff barriers among themselves: beginning in January of 1959, against external countries will. be unified. Internal tariff reductions will be accompanied by gradual elimination of quotas and other re- strictions on mutual trade, and by growing freedom of movement of investment capital and of labour within the area of the. Common Market. At the end of fifteen year's, unification will be complete behind the common external tariff. “The fears which have been ex- pressed that the development — of the Common Market will adversely affect the sales of certain other countries (of which Canad is one) within the area are not wholly un-— founded. However, this appears to be no more than a special case with- ‘in the world-wide trend towards a diminishing proportion of world _ trade represented by raw materials. The increase in real income within _ the Common Market which is ex- pected to result- from unification, and. the increase in physical pro- duction’. of manufactures will be : reflected in an increasing demand for imports into the area. The com- position of trade may undergo some further change, but the total of trade will in all eeu continue to rise”. ‘EDITORIAL NOTES - Prime Minister Menzies’ victory in last week’s election was not un- | | expected.

Black, Charlotte- town). — Not the least important of the many notable events celebrated last year was the 250‘h- anniver- sary of the birth of the hymn writer Charles Wesley, brother of Methodism’s founder, John Wes- ley. By way of commemorating the occasion, Bishop Charles Wes- ley Flint of Washington, D.C., published a 212-page biography called ‘Charles Wesley and His Colleagues.’ The Bishop’s name makes obvious his interest in his subject. Four years younger than John, Charles was born in Epworth, England, on Decemiber 18, 1707, the eighteenth child of High Churchman Rev. Samuel Wesley and his wife Susanna. That was the day of large families, Sus- anna herself being * - mother’s twenty-fourth child! That the parents did not al- ways think alike is illustrated by the fact that when at morning prayers the Rey. Samuel prayed for King William, who had been invited over from, Holland, he noticed that his wife never joined in the ‘Amen,’ for whereas Samuel wa loyal to, the ruling monarch, Susanna felt that the rightful: heir to the throne was the deposed James II, who had been exiled to France, “If we are to have two kings,” declared Samuel, ‘‘we must have two beds!’ Whereupon he moun- ted his horse without further ado, rode down to London, and never returned until the coronation of Queen Anne removed the cause of disagreement. EDUCATED AT OXFORD Despite the fact that poverty and debt cursed the Epworth rec- tory almost constantly—actually the Rev. Samuel was once im- prisoned for an unpaid debt—the two sons were able to spend a number of years at Oxford Un- iversity, both parents being most profound believers in the value of education. It was there that the famous ‘Holy Club” was formed by Charles and a few of his religious companions interested in their own spiritual development, the leadership la- ter being: turned over to John. Though Charles had expected ymn Writer nn By Harold Garnet Block to spend the rest of his poe in the University atmosphere, bro-. ther John persuaded him to ac- company him and General James Oglethorpe to Georgia, where Og- lethotpe had already established a colony made up chiefly of men who had been imprisoned for debts which, however small, they were unable to pay. John was to be a missionary to the Georgia Indians. But the American adventure turned out to be a complete fiasco as far as the Wesleys were concerned, the result being that Charles, aif- fer a few months of secretarial work, boarded ship for England, reaching home in December, 1736 John followed a year later. RELIGIOUS REVIVAL _As a biographer of John Wes- ley, I have been especially inter- ested in the history of the half- century-long religious revival that began about 1738 in England un- der the co-operative efforts of the two Wesleys and George Whitefield, who likewise had been a member of the Oxford “Holy Club.” — So great was the effect of this remarkable evangelistic revival upon all parts of the country that reputable historians have declar- ed it to have been unquestion- ably the means of preventing bloody revolution from breaking out in England like that which came to France towards the close of that century. For some years the two Wes- leys traveled together through England and Wales, preaching alternately in open-air meetings. During the 1750’s however, Char- les settled down in London and Bristol. parishes, partly because he-was physically less wiry than John, and partly because of the claims of his wife and family. EVANGELISTIC WORK After his marriage to Sally Gwynne in 1749, Charles made his home in Bristol but was ob- liged to spend many months each year for the- next fifteen years in overseeing the evan- gelistic work in the English cap- ital. His numerous letters to his “dear partner’ during these pro- longed absences give a day-by-day account of his activities and ex- press a constant solicitude for dren six died in infancy from “mallpox, a disease that had also disfigured their mother.

Bundesen, M. D. GET RID OF THAT COUGH! A constant hacking cough can wear a person down more quick- ly than diseases. Not only does it interfere with your rest, but it irritates resiratory tissues, tires your muscles and generaily weakens your resistance to dis else-producing germs.

Cough- ing, for example, might indicate tuberculosis hoareness sometimes indicates cancer. In most cases, coughing should be halted. Ordinarily, this is a relatively easy procedure for your doctor. That's why you should call him when you deve- lop a serious cough.

Some Causes Generally speaking, a doctor will try to discourage a cough if it is caused by thick,dry sec- retions in the air passages, all- ergic conditions, or by. air which is too dry. Coughing is a ¥elax action by which the body tries to rem- ady matters itself.

The unexpected announcement of the merger of Ghana and the newly - independent state of Guinea ha’ virtually forced the hand of Ghana’s Commonwealth partners. They are confronted with the choice of admitting Prime Minister Nkrumiah’s new partner to membership or forcing Nkrumah out of the club. While the actual merger awaits one or two constitutional steps, ‘the formal declaration of Guinea’s independence by her for- mer French colonial masters and ratification of the agreement by the parliaments of Ghana and Guinea can be taken as a fore- gone conclusion. PROS AND CONS The question remains whether the reservations entertained by some Commonwealth. members as to the unprecedented admis- sion of a state with no previous British ties are likely to out- weigh the probable consequences of refusal. Such reservations undoubtedly exist. Britain is already uneasy about the problem of unrestricted immigration from non-white Com- her physical welfare and = spiri- tual growth, Of their nine ehil- monwealth countries. South Africa acquiesced reluctantly to Guinea & The Commonwealth Canbdian Press Staff Writer Simon — first admission of Ghana as the first independent Negro state and ‘cannot be expected to welcome a further focal point of unrest among her own subjugated black | citizens. From the economic standpoint, Guinea’s 2,500,000 citizens have been cast out onto France’s door- step with few prospects. of in- dependent survival. Although Ghana,’s 4,000.000 residents are in a considerably healthier state, they, too, are dependent on Om side aid. , Yet, in principle, all these is- sues have been settled before. Any idea of an all-white Com- monwealth was decisively killed with the admission of India and War. And the plight of the under- developed countries of Southeast Asia virtually reduces the econ- omic problem to the question of setting an extra place for Guinea at an already crowded dinner table. _ The implications of repudiating the Ghana - Guinea merger, on the other hand, strike at the very roots of the Commonwealth. The emergence of Ghana as an independent member has been an invaluable boost to British pres- tige among the Asiatic powers.
