South Africa's choice

Tile dominant Nationalist Party in South Africa has chosen Johannes Strijdom as successor to Prime Minister Daniel Malan,: who has retired at the age of 80. The new prime minister is reputedly even more of an extremist than his predecessor whose earlier attitudes were considerably modi-, fied by the weight of government responsi-l bility. It may be, of course, that a similar smoothing down of rough edges will take place in his successor.

in particular, Prime Minister Strijdomi has been inclined to advocate strongerf measures of racial segregation than even” Mr. Iilalan, always described. of course, in terms of seeking the greatest good and maximum development for all scgements of the Union's Afrikaan, English speaking, Hin- du. colored and black population. In this hc may he expected to speak firmly in order to consolidate his newly-acquired leader-l ship of the party and consequently of the country. The practical difficulty of ignor-l ing the contribution which important ele- mcnts of the population can make towards a strong nation may well make practice? less rigid than theory. l

Another policy of iVIr. Strijdom, specif- ically mentioned on his first public appear- alicc as Prime Minister, is that South Africa should eventually become arepubiic. It isl a first principle, of course, of the Com- monwcaith that any of its free and equal nienibcrs may adopt the form of govern- ment that they wish and need remain mem- bers only as long as they wish.

it would be a matter for considerable rcuret, however, in other Commonwealth nations ii" the Union of South Africa were

;to preserve largely the present status quol

of this important industrial region and to formalize it under an international statute. Political opponents of Chancellor Adenauer

3 have already in provincial elections made, 9 political capital out of what they describel as the abandonment of the Saar to thei l

dubious fate of an uncertain international

l status.

If Chancellor Adenauer were to fail to' secure support for the new Saar greeinent, West Germany's position as a reliable part- ner in the western alliance would undoubt-, edly be weakened. Thus it may be as-, sumed that Soviet propaganda will be di-l rected towards fomenting as much internall trouble as possible over the Saar issue un-T til ratification has been granted bv thel Bundestag at Bonn.

Land Hunger in Asia

Under the auspices of the United Na-, tions Food and Agriculture Organization, al new operation has been started in Thailandf Representatives from 12 Asian countries, 60 in number, have opened a ”center'' in Bangkok to discuss land problems in Asia.- Thcre have been other meetings of this general character. This is the first in this area.

Such a meeting, says the New York Times, takes on more than usual signif- icance bccause it is focusing attention oni the sore spots in East Asia. The problem of land tenure, the first item on the agenda of the discussions in this ”center", has been a critical factor in the life of every Gov- ernment that has been set up. Land hun- ger among the worlds under-privileged peo- ple is a very real thing. If it can be satis- fied honestly much good can be done. It can be played on. spuriousiy, through false promises and through unsound policies of

On Sunday morn- mg the lizirbor was virtually closed. Our shippers at once became alive to the situation, and commenced the work of towing their vessels form the harbor. The steamer 'St. Lnw:'cn:'c' was the first to move: she broke through the channel ice and sped on her way to Pirtou without difficulty. Then the tug 'Henry Aitken' was called into re- quisition. and did admirable work. She towed out eleven vessels, in-
