the radial bigotry and roonsh, snortsigrit- ed plans of a petty government, the lead- ers of which do not know enough of his- tory to keep them on the road of p)liti-cal sanity, Mr. Paton goes much further than that in presenting the case of a tor- mented people. He plea-ds with those at their friends who lament their woes at .1 distance to do everything in their power to eradicaltie injustices within their own societies, and thus help South Africa by the powerful weapon of example.

”Remember this", the author says in the last paragraph of his book. ”the greatest service that anyone can render to the cause of peace and justice in the world is to ensure that peace and justice prevail in his own country. Justice in the ideal is a powerful thing, but justice in practice is more powerful still, and can influence powerfully all the people 'of the world."

Comprehensive Potato Briefs

Probably never before has such a. mass of information about the potato in- dustry been presented at Ottawa. as in the briefs and arguments offered before the Tariff Board this week in connection with the application for tiariff readjust- ment. The presentations included briefs from several of the potato growing prov- lnces, the Horticultural Council, Federa- tion of Agriculture, and other organiza- tions. This Province was capably repre- sented by Mr. W. R. Shaw in the Horti- cultural Oouncil presentation, and in ad- dition there was a very comprehensive brief, endorsed by the Provincial Govern- ment which was the joint work of the Provincial Federation of Agriculture. tllhe Potato Industry Promotion Commit- tee, the Potato Dealers Association. the Potato Marketing Board and the Potato Pmduceirsl Association.

As pointed out in the Island brief. the whole pattern of trade in potatoes has changed within recent years. The modern developmenrt of motor truck transport has placed all production areas in the North- ern United States in direct contact with Canadian centres and as a result the former balance of trade in potatoes has been reversed. In former years we ex- ported aurbstantial quantities from that country only in those periods of the year when fresh supplies were not readily avail- a-blle in our own country or in the occas- lnnal year when our domestic crop was below normal. It has become increasingly difficult to profitably market Canadian table stock in the United States, due chief- ly to truck movement competitioin, chang- ing currency values and other factors. On p the other hand, an Increasing quantity of 1 United States potatoes in being shipped into Canada.

A relatively small area in the State of- Maine produced each year about the same quarntvlty of potatoes as the whole of Can- ad-a. Because of the quantities of potatoes produced in Long Island, New York State, and Peennsyvlvania, Maine in recent years has delayed marketing in volume until after December 1. thereby creating an ad- ditional threat to our markets. Maine, Michigan, New York and other Northeast- ern States are much closer to the chief Canadian markets lfhan Prince Edward Island. In addiitliuon, the Maine growers I-lave duty free entry and the opportunity of moving their product by truck across the Canadian border direct to Canadian oontsuming centres and also by truck and rail shipment from Ca na di a n ' Im spite of the fact that mining is the points at Maritime freight rate levels. l principal industry in Timmins, 0nt., no These freight rates ironically enough were high school gradualle of this year's UMP Of basically intended to aid the surplus pm- -56 expressed any interest in that type of during Maritimes to market their crops in work.

This is but one phase of the situation eering. outlined in the briefs, but it is very im- portant, and should make some impres- wion upon the Tariff Board. Certainly our prnrlvcc-rs and all concerned in the indus- try have (lone an cxrcllcnt job in marshal- ling their arguments. The infornritio-i and silatistics contained in the briefs are of much value and interest in themselves. and will no doubt later be published in permanent form.

Recommendations For Peace

While the Western Governments are trying to devise a formula for loeepivng the Formosa Strait area from becoming the starting point of a new global conflict, gratuitous-though not necessarily ill- consideredesuggestions on how to pre- serve the peace continue to come in from many and varied sources. This is es- pecially the vogue in the United States where, so officials say, hardly a day passes that some organization does not "advise" the Government what to do-sometimes, what not to doein the emergency. Among the latest groups to take the mwattger up is the United States Conference for the World Council of Churches which met in Buck Hills Falls, Pa. for the first time since the General Assembly in Evanston last summer. This group cerlpirily has numerical strength to support i views. since it is directly representative of 32 re- ligious denominations in the United States. and indirectly of 162 member communions in 47 countries which make up the World Council.

For what they are wortheand they certainly appear to have been well thought out-we pass along the recom- mendations as brought in by a special committee: (1) The overture of Com- munist China's Premier. Chou En-lai, for bilateral consultations be accepted; (2) A cease-fire should be diligently sought with a readiness to. negotiate enough of the outstanding issues to permit a cease- fire to be effective: (3) A United Na- tions Peace Observation Unit, composed of international servants rallher than rep- resentatives of governments should be ap- propriately stationed in the area to see to it that the terms of a cease-fire are fully complied with: (4) A commitment should be given sincerely to seek acceptance of the principle of universal membership in tihe United Nations; (5) An objective study of Formosa should be undertaken by an impartial agency. preferably under the United Nations.

IThe following article from the Ottawa Journal refers to a well- known former Charlolletonian, Mr. H. R. Stewart).

To a collector a find in his interest is like a good c atch to a fisherman. In this way of thinking, H. R. Stewart, an Ottawa resident, has had in a n y a worthwhile, catch..

Mr. Stewart gathers, as a hobby, documents, pictures. maps, in fact anything pertaining to General James Wolfe. And a wonderful assortment he has.

During World War One Stewart, then serving as a signaller in the Canadian army. bought a photograph in England of the Wolfe Monument in West- minister Abbey. The photograph went from place to place with Mr Stewart. who from childhood had been interested in the life of Wolfe.

The war ended. soldiers came back to Canada and the photo- graph was packed away but not quite forgotten. At the home of a friend a picture of General Wolfe was seen by Mr. Stewart and in his delight was then given to him as a gift. The picture, he has learned since. is a valuable mezzotinl. This actually began what is now a large and in the eyes of collectors. gathering of "Wolfiana."

The third item to capture the interest of Mr. Stewart is a profile portrait of General Wolfe. This portrait was a gift of a friend who lived near the birthplace of Wolfe at Westerham.

In this alma- nac is a tribute to General Wolfe and since the general died on September 13 of that year. some- one very swiftly took the message of his death to the Boston printer from the Plains of Abraham. The almanac is crisp with age and in it is seen the old English method of presenting the written word to the public. Then too. there is a portrait in the Stewart collection of General Wolfe's father that has been re- touched to appear as Wolfe him- self. it seems that at the time of the death of the General there was a great demand for portraits and paintings of him. One engrav- er. eager to make a little money In the scramble but having no portrait of Wolfe from which to work obtained one of Wolfe's father.

Wolle to his parents give what Mr. Stewart considers a deep in- sight into Wolfe's great love for them. He notes on one occas- ion thal he writes "not of duty but of love and with pleasure". On another occasion he asks his mother to give his love to his cousin. Goldsmith. Not known by many people is the fact that Wolfe was a relative of the celebrated aullior, Oliver Goldsmith. Then. too. there is script from a letter

dated September 12. 1742: "For drink I don't care much: but there is very good

rum and brandy in this place and cheap. if we have a mind to take a little sneaker now and then at night just to warm us". This at the tender age of 15.

Perhaps for Mr. Stewart his collection has stemmed from what might be termed "hero ivr"shln". But he feels that in Canada, unlike European coun- tries. hero worship is almost an unknown arl.

His favorite lines on Wolfe are these:

ANCIENT STONES

Sir. - Your interesting "His- torical Note on Cornerstones" in Wednesdaylii Guardian in refer- ence to the new Federal Building brings to mind ,t.be ex- istence of other extremely anci- ent stones that have been made notable by the enterprise of man.

Some of these stones are so old that they have marked at least three wide-spread succeed- ing civilizations. The British Isles have their share of these his- torical markers. Stonehenge In Wiltshire, England is one of them. Of this prehistoric structure the inner ovoid at the present day contains three sarsen lrllithons: the Star Stone (16 ft. long). the Friars Heel, and the Slaughter Stone; the Star Stone and the Friarls Heel point directly to- wards the rising sun on June 24th. supposed to be so placed designedly by the ancient aun- worshippers. Sir Joseph N. Lucky- er and other astronomers of the Royal College of Science and the Solar Physics Observatory have consequently fixed the,date of the monument about 16m B.C.
