sThe Hon. .Iames Ill. Macdonnell, who represented the Canadian Gov- ernment at the independence cere monies in Malaya. is quoted as say- ing that he hopes Canada will be able to do "something more” for that country now that she is A member of the t'oiniiiunwcalth. lie was refei-riiig to the Colonilio Plan in which (ianada has played an im- portant role from the start.

According to Iiir. Mat-doiiiicll, aid under the plan has gone cliiefly to India, Pakistan and Ceylon. with little or nothing going to Malaya. This is ('Icailv ivroiig, if only for the reason that India. Pakistaii and Ceylon. being much more advanced industrially than llalava is, ought to be in a better position to look after their own iiecds. But there Is another reason. too. a political one. As far as India and (evliin are con- cerned, their position in the ('om- monwealth is aliiiost purely nominal. From the time they became inde- pendent nations tiieir main interest Ln, Commonwealth nicmbcrsliip-such as it is-has been the economic ad- vantage attached to it. In the event of war involving the other members, there would be little likelihood of their making any military contri- bution to the common cause. Indeed, in the controversies between Soviet Russia and the West they are as often as not found favouring the former, at least tacitly. Pakistan is in a little better light: though she, too, has shown very little interest Ir; the Commonwealth as such.

Malaya, on the other hand, shows every promise of becoming a loyal and working member of the Com- monwealth, dedicated to its purposes in peace or war. Certainly, the Malayans have given unmistakable proof of their steadfast opposition to Communism in all its forms and conspiracies. It is right and proper that they should iie helped to the greatest extent possible, even if It means giving India, Pakistan and Ceylon a little less than they have been receiving.

Maine Amendments

The economic pattern of the State of Maine is in some respects similar to that of the Maritimes. There are some large industries. but they are mainly confined to a few Areas, as in the Maritimes. Indust- rlal development is hampered by shortage of cheap power, just as it is here. That defect, of course, will be removed once the big Quoddy projects gets. under xvii): but that, In even the most optimistic view. is at some distance.

Meanwhile, the State Government, Alter much prodding. has decided to take a hand. In last week's election A constitutional amendment was ap- proved by the electors permitting pledging of the State's credit to mlarantee mortgages on new plants. Under the provisions local non-profit development groups will be allowed tn build factories for newjndustries And obtain through regular com- rhencial channels mortgages guar- Anteed up to 90 per cent by the State. The Industries themselves would pay rent covering principal, hiterest And A small charge for ad- ministration. This. it is hoped. will encourage small Industries to estab- Iah themselves without having to Assume unwarrantable risk. Over A period of time it ought to be of

economic value, especially to Eastern port of the Sute when IA A more or loss can-

y Iimmetrlcully locui-Ate, Althoua It used to please the ”DowneAAters" to think it wAA. Now, AppArently, feel. ing that it haA outlived whatever uAefulnesA it had, they on content to see it go. Obviously, when Maine votes on the Aamoiday As the rest of the States it won't be the that to report results. '

The Weather

For some years it has been thought that the worlds climate was warming up, especially in the northern regions. True, the meteoro- logists have never come out with A categorical statement to that effect; but they have hinted as much; and, of course, that was enough to set the supposition in circulation.

Lo and behold, a couple of weeks ago a team of experts decried this warming up theory and declared that. far from getting warmer, these iegions can expect another forty or fifty years of real "old-fashioned" winters. retroactive to last year. Their theory is that cold and warm spells come in cycles and that the mild cycle is just about over for this generation.

But hard on the heels of the prophets of gloom comes a prophet of Cheer, Dr. Sverne Petterson, Pro- fessor of lileteoi'ology at the Uni- versity of Chicago, bearing the tid- ings that, no matter what others may say, he is definitely of the opinion that the world is getting warmer all the time. He has proof, he says, that ”the icebergs have shrunk. the glaciers have receded." In addition, ”polar ice is creeping towards the North Pole.iI.arge areas are now without winter ice, and where it exists its depth had de- creased pei'ceptibly." lie credits the process to "sun spots."

When the experts disagree in this manner, what are the rest of us to think? Perhaps the best thing is not to think too much about it one way or the other, to keep an open mind on the conflicting theor- ies and prepare for another hard winter, just to be on the safe side. If Professor Petterson is right in his views, so much the better; but it would be wise not to disregard the contrary opinions. The popular opinion that ”there will always be A winter in these parts" is probably as good a guide as any.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The British fish-and-chips busi- ness is in A poor way because of lack of potatoes. The National Fed- eration of Fish Friers has asked the Agricultural Ministry to permit an increase in imports. P.E.I. growers should let them know where to get the good ones.

Scientists h ave discovered I chemical which makes c a b b a g e plants grow to A height of 15 feet. Lettuce leaves, however, are dwarf- ish by comparison. They grow only one foot tall. Known as gobberellic acid, it was first noted 25 years ago in A fungus on rice plants in Japan.

The Morrissey family has won so many plowing trophies that they must have all they can do to keep track of them. Glen, the champion par excellence who is now employed at the Experimental Farm and stor ing up practical knowledge, is re- ported to be looking forward to scientific training at an agricultural college. If he is As good 8 student as he is a plouman-and he'd better be!-A brilliant career awaits him.

Those Europeans who imagine that all Americans are millionaires are going to be disappointed when they hear the latest news from the United States Census Bureau. It re- veals that there were Ill-2 million families in 19.36 with incomes of 510,000 or more; but there were also 3 million families with incomes of less than 351,000, while 7 million families had to get Along on lesA than 32,000.
