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. -' EDITORIAL NOTES With magnificent livestock, handi- crafts and other exhibits; plus High- a N land dancing and other attractions, © the Crapaud Exhibition today promi- ses to be an outstanding success.

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.

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 even, in collision. British scién- : “EXPERTS UNCERTAIN Denmark has been ha: “lenis! on the advice of its nuclear ex- ‘relatively isolated Portland, “gone out of their way te assure their hosts there is no danger 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. Most of Samaria—and the few Jordan, the National Geographic Society says. The little town of Bethlehem where Jesus was born also lies within its borders. About 20 miles from Bethlehem is fhe stretch of the Jordan River where 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?
