CHARIDTTETOWN WENESDAY. JAN. 3. 1951

Women's Sunless

The Government has been non-commit- tal on ,the subject of enlisting women to supplement manpower in the Armed Forces although high officers in the services have advocated such a move.

The experience of the Second World War indicates that women can do valuable

' work in a great many jobs in the Forces and, as it was repeatedly and accurately put, release men for combat duties. It should be obvious that in case of general mobilization this country could not afford to neglect such an important reserve of "manpower."

That being so, it is the part of wisdom to have the organizations in existence so that they may be rapidly expanded rather than having to be created out of nothing when the need arises. '

Free Trade In Ideas

Principal F. Cyril James of McGill Un- iversity says that a ”big city" university is, generally speaking, a better educational medium than a university located in a small community. Big city universities, says Dr. James, attract the best teachers, provide facilities for research and the ex- change of ideas that are unobtainable else- where, and, because of the cosmopolitan character. of the student body, impart a broader outlook to their graduates.

Comparisons are always odious. It is unfortunate that a scholar and admin- istrator of Dr. James' acknowledged com- petence should feel impelled to resort to them. Since he has done so, he will scarce-

The Chinese Communists seem to have profited by the gratuitous advice given out by General MacArthur's headquarters to the effect that concentrated assaults are far more effective than general pressure on all points at once.

MAKING THE PACIFIC SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY

ii minor part.

Sir,-Today, (lie diplomacy of international relations must be studied with a map of the world in front of us. If democracy is to survive as a world system the Pacific must be made as safe for democracy as the Atlantic. That is why Douglas MacAr'Jh-ur flew to Formosa the other day and kissed the hand of Madame Chiang Kai- Shek. It was a gesture that in- dicated that there was a place for China in the comity of demo- cratic states. To make the world's commercial highways safe the Pacific seaboard must be paved with good inllentlions and fortified with modern equipment, and the road from Singapore to the Aleu- tlians must be patrolled and kept in serviceable condition day and night, summer and winter. against
