A World, Power

6 As Lt. Gen. Howard Graham, l .Canada's top ranking soldier, point- i, ed out in a Dominion Day address l at Camp Gagetown. Ca nadia n

troops are now scattered around ;. the world. In the Middle East, Indo-China. Germany, Korea and Kashmir they are on duty. either helping to enforce an uneasy truce ) or standing watch against an at- f, tack by the enemies of freedom. l Where else they will he in the future ' no one knows. But wherever the ,. danger of war exists within the con- fines of the non-Communist world, there Canadians will be joined with other forces in an effort to keep it under control.

The thing to remember. as Gen. Graham was careful to emphasize. is that the far-flung operations of Canada's armed forces are primar- : lly for the defense of Canada. Gone is the time when ('anada's lines of defence were on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards and her contribu- tion to world peace was confine-ti to assisting voluntarily Britain's war efforts. In these days a threat to peace in Asia. Africa. the South Seas or the Arctic wastes is a threat to every corner of the Canadian na- tion.

The responsiliility to see the free world as it whole and not mer- ely as a collection of isolated com- munities, each concerned with its mm geographical boundaries. has come with our growing and in- dependent naiionliood. This respon- sibility will become more pro- nounced as the years go by. It will put a heavy burden. and, so far as can be seen. a continuing burden, on the nation's economy: for par- ticipation in world affairs costs a great deal of money. No -matter. For better or worse-we must hope it will be for better-Canada has become a world power. Cana- dians, therefore. must think and net as if they accepted the role which the demands of 20th century political evolutions have allotted them.

Conference Differences

The official communique which will be issued at the end of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference will, doubtless, stress the agreements which have been reached or. atpnny rate, the com- mon viewpoints which have been expressed. Perhaps the divisions will be ignored: but that these exist there is no doubt.

The chief division. it appears from unofficial reports. was on the subject of the Soviet I'nion's inten- tions. Prime Minister Nehru of India. as was expected. was inclined to take the view that the Russians are really, though slowly taking a more reasonable approach to the problems of the cold war. Despite what happened in Hungary, Mr. Nclim seems to think that a softer policy towards the Soviet l'nion wmilrl bring good results. This has been his view all along; and, from all accounts, he has been trying to find support for it among his col- leagues at the conference. Only the representative of Ceylon, however, , seems to have paid much heed to s it.

Prime Minister Menzies of Aus- tralia has taken the lead in demand- ing that the Russians prove by deeds the good intentions they have talked about so much. In this he

has been supported warmly by the Canadian And New Zcnland repre: untntivps and perhaps a little less uitqokcnly by .the others. Mr. Mania I: mid to be so deeply eon-

fionnl conferences are mcanlnglesn documents. in some cases they are misleading; witness the fulsome one that came out of the Geneva "Sum- mit" meeting. It would be a good thing for the Commonwealth and for the free world generally if the one now being drafted at 10 Down- ing St. were to state facts and note merely reflect wishful thinking.

The Suez Operation

Nasser's dictatorial ambitions in the Middle East would have been effectively curbed had the British- French intervention in Suez suc- ceeded. It failed due to misguided United Nations interference. Its importance, however, has not been lost sight of in the Queen's Birth- day Honours list, which contains more than 300 awards for the Suez operation. The London Times cites the leading awards as follows:

General Sir Charles Keightlcy. the commander of the operation. is promoted to Kniglit Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire. Lieutcnant-General Sir llugh Stock- well, who commanded the land task force. is given a bar to his D35. 0. for his successful planning. "ability and iitgcnuity." and personal ex- ample. Yice-Admiral L. F. Durh- ford-Slater. who was in charge of the Aiiglo-l”rench naval task force, and Air Marshal Denis Barnett, commander of the air task force, become Knight Commanders of the Bath. Admiral Durnford-Slater, the citation says, assunied command of the large fleet and auxiliary ships only seven days before the operation was ordered.

Brigadier M. A. H. Butler. who led the parachute assault on Gamel Airfield. Port Said. receives a bar to the D.S.O. The citation says that although he was continuously under fire ”he kept up a continuous flow of information and his planning and tactical moves were carried out with coolness and confidence." A D. S. 0. also goes to Brigadier R. W. Madoc. Royal Marines, who took 3,000 men of the 3rd Commando Brigade into action and whose "well executed operation of capturing and cleaning the town of Port Said" is commended in the citation.

The skeleton of an Indian-chief buried 2000 years ago was dug up in British Columbia in few days be- fore the June 10th election. There is no truth in the rumour that over zealous party workers tried to enter his name on the electoral rolls on the claim that he was a life-long resident.

The International Geophysical Year is now under way, having started on Monday morning with firing of rockets from several bases around the world. The program will last 18 months. it is intended to help scientists learn more about the earth, sea and air and their surroundings. it is hoped among other things that out of the studies and experiments will come better means of predicting long-radge weather conditions.

A report from Washington says that American officials are anx- iously awaiting "clues" to the trade policy trends of Canada's new Gov- ernment. They'll have to be patient a little while longer. But one thing seems certain: Something will have to be done about correcting this country's unfavourable trade bal- ance with the United States. Cor- rectionnl measures would have had to be taken sooner or later. regard- less of which party won the elec- tion. O O O

The late ylr: George Stanley in an article in Past and Present of PHI. ll-Idited by late Judge Warburton and Hon. ILA. MacKin- nnnv says the old building w'hich stood on the site where John lilac- Earhern has his office Inow No. 51-55 on the West side of Queen Street. corner of King Street and mined by Sidney T.

Phillips Callheck who was At-

torney General, may have purchas- ,

ed this property from Cambridge.

or may have sold it to Braddock A

Mrs. Stanley also says that An-I-

was situated where the Halifax Seed Company's store now is on the corner of Queen Street and Dori-Iiester Street. SUPREME COURT HITTING! .The following three items are taken from an article by the late Henry Smith in The Guardian of 26th January. 1924. and refers to this building.

on the 24th September, 1770, the Supreme Court held its first sit- ting. and on the l2tb August 1771, the first Grand Jury assembled in Charlottetown.

The Brandenburg Gate

Frnnoen slover In

Berlin is again to have its fam- ous horses surmounling the Brand- enburrlcr Tor. the great six col- umned gateway at the head of Un- ter den Linden.

Artisans are now working on I reconstruction of the copper fig- ure of the goddess of victory driv- ing a four horse chariot. in 19-13, when the Royal Air Force bomb- ed Berlin. this quadrlga was de- stroyed. Luckily plaster casts had been made of thqimmcnse sculp- ture two years before. it is these which will allow a replica of this symbol of German military prow- can to be hoisted to the top of the great gateyray by the end of i957.

The Brandenburg gate was a monument of Prussian pride in

the days of monarchy. it was the -

hub of interest. On one side it looked on the Unter den Linden. the centre of Berlinis social and official life. ()n the other side it looked mil on the park known as the Ticrgnrlen. with its wide paths flanked by the statues of the Ho- henzollern princes.

llovi are the niiuhly fallen! The statues have been tumbled. and he linden trees were cut down in the llitlcr era FRI-ISII IMPI-ITCS

The restored Brandenburg gate will give frcsli impetus to Berlin's

hope in l)e freed from the Russians. :

Since the Brandenburger Tor is i the dividing point between East .1 and west Berlin. reconstruction of l

the gate itself has been deemed to belong to the East regime. while the re-erealmn of Victory has be- come the work of the federal Ger- man republic.

Since World war ii the Brand- enburg gate has had a red flag with a sickle and hammer waving over it. Now the Soviet Union has

consented to have the sickle and .

hammer banner replaced by the gigantic copper figure of Victory.

Actually, the red banner has been removed twice by n courag- eous band of Berliners who disre- gnrded the fire of Sdviet guards. The first time via: September 10. I948: the second on June 17. 1958, the day of the spontaneous upris- ing of the soviet zone pow" nuinst its Communist run reg- lme.

in both cases. however. the red .

flag was immediately restored by the Soviet occupntlon power. DIFFICULT TASK

In 1812 a new Supreme Court House and Assembly House was erected on Queen Square. near the corner of Queen and Grafton. As some writers have claimed this building was erected in 1802. the following is more than sufficient evidence to show that 1812 is the

.corrcct date.

Gov- ernor DeBarres in his address to the Assembly refers to the need of suitable buildings for the services of this Island, etc.. for holding meetings of the General Assent- bly. for holding our Courts of Judi- cature. for safe -keeping of Rec- ords. a School and a Jail - the present Jall beini: reported unfit and irreparable.

On .'l0th July. into. the Governor- in his address in the Assembly referred to Supply required to de- fray expenses of erecting Public Buildings alluded to in the Land As- sessment Act before any contract he entered into - "plans, eleva- tions. descriptions and proposals will be laid before you."

Dr. 1). C. Harvey advised me on ltllh June. 1957. that the Court House was completed In i812. and stated the money for its construc- tion was to be provided from n tax of two shillings per one hundred acres of land, authorized by 49 George flrd. (Sap. 9. which receiv- ed the Royal Assent. November- l5llI, llI09. 'It took some time to collect this fund and to get con- struction under way. consequently the building was not completed un- til 1812. Dr. Harvey also said his authority for the latter statement is a dispatch of Lieut. Governnr DesBnrres to the Earl of Liver- pool. April 2nd. 1811 as follows: "An assessment on land is now enl- lectlng. which will amount to up- wards of 111000 and which is ap- proprintcd to defray part of the expense for erecting a Court House. nearly finished in Charlottetown which will cost E1500."

The Supreme Court sessions con- tinued to be held in this building until the 29th June. 1847. when it was moved to quarters on the first floor in the eastern end of the new Colonial Building. where it. con- tinued its sittings for years. he-

l Protectlrtg Health Of Air Passengers

By llerninn N. Inndnnen. ! lII.D. Anyone who trnveln very much know: the convenience and coin- fnrt of flying. But there are innum- ernble outstanding union that the nation's nlriincs perform which aren't readily apparent even to

the veteran trnvclcr. ' PROTECTIVE MEASURES Probably most important are

the measure. taken to protect the health of pnucnger...

Food. of course. is somewhat of a problem. Todny domestic nir- lines spend more mone to feed their passengers than tcy spent to fly them not too many years- back.

Not only do the airlines have to protect the food for the passengers. it is even more important that they keep contaminated food front reaching the pilot.

in todays modern airliners. the food is perfectly safe. The box lun- ches. for example. are specially selected because of their resist- ance to spoilage and contamina-

lion. PORTABLE CARTS

Many catering firms st-ring the airlines transport the food in pori- able insulated and refrigerated cart. If the food is to be solved warm. it is transported in portable electrically heated ovens or pre-- beated vacuum jugs.

Water prevents another prob- lem. Because of limitations in weight. the amount that can be' carted is relatively small. Tanks are carefully selected of niatcriaill which will not corrode or eon- taminate the water.

On older aircraft, waste water is discharged overboard. On the latest planes. it is stored in reten- tion tanks which are emptied upon landing.

All sewage is stored aboard the planes until removed by ground crews. Right now there is some thought about incineration sew- nge in flight. but this is still pret- ty much in the research stage.

Odor-destroying substances are used in the retention tanks. Not only must these chemicals sup- press odors for varying periods ll varying temperatures. but they must not be so patent that they mask odors which might indicate leakage of gasoline or oil.

You can see the airlines are kept pretty busy keeping their passeng- ers in good health.
