"The strongest memory is weaker

than the weakest ink” PAGE 4 THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, 1965.

h . Blow To Separatism

‘It requires the pinch of adversity to bring out the best in us, notes an Ottawa commentator in the Win- nipeg Free Press: He was refer- ring, ironically, to the response of people to the emergency brought on by the Quebec liquor strike. Ever since the drought struck, Que- becers have been pouring across the border to mingle, in a spirit of ‘protherhood and goodwill, with the

queues of Ontario citizens bent on replenishing the provincial treasury.

They have come “in cars, in buses, in vans, in hearses,” ready—-

even at considerable personal risk—"~

to demonstrate in action their loyal support of inter-provincial trade.

- And the traffic has been two-way, ~ with residents, of Ontario “heading

east on errands of mercy or, in many

ia disastrous crusade is actually in the making. As the Montreal paper points out, such shrill and‘irrespon- sible cries are at least balanced by saner and more respected voices. This was not always so. In the 1950’s the Chiang Kai-shek lebby dominated Washington’s policy on China. But-lately a more realistic view has been taken. The idea that the Communist regime could be up- set by an invasion has been relegat- ed to the realm of wishful thinking. There are signs, -indeed, that Washington—given a graceful way out of the dilemma of having sup- ported Chiang up to now—would be prepared to deal diplomatically with Peking. Certainly the Johnson ad-

_tinistration is more likely to reach

this conclusion that to provoke an- other war that would serve only to repair the breaeh between Red China

and Soviet Russia, and involve the ;

world in its devastation.

One thing we tan be thankful for is that Chiang’s threats no longer carry weight outside his own little domain, where he lives practically as a pensioner on American bounty. Age hasn't mellowed him, but the days when he could make our flesh creep with his vengeful pipe dreams are fortunately over.

New York’s Example

When Canada gets ready to study its problem of water pollution in real earnest, it may get some help from the example which Governor Rockefeller proposes to set for: the state of New York. He is asking the New York legislators to approve a $1.7 billion, six. year program for this purpose, to be financed chiefly with a billion dollar state bond is- sue and to include the construction of vast new sewage treatment plants and intercepter sewers.

A _6-page booklet sums up the

problem New York is faced with in |

a. grimly impressive manner. The state has plenty of water, it notes, yet “almost two out of three of our

-people live in areas afficted by

pollution.” More than 1,100 commun- ities pour “poorly treated and even raw sewage into our waterways.” So do 760 industrial plants.

This water borne filth degrades public water supplies, jeopardizes health, lowers ‘property values, de- stroys recreational areas, threatens commercial fishing, defiles- environ- ment and “exacts a hugh cost in esthetic values,” the booklet de- clares.

Governor Rockefeller -proposes that federal, state and local gov- ernments join in a program of tax incentives to help private industry meet its own pollution problem. His plan is in the nature of a crash pro- gram to meet a situation which has

more critical there than in any other part of the country. But the same problem is shaping up every- where on the continent—even here in Prince Edward Island, as we know from a recent engineering report and as we have been told time and again by our health officials.

Plans are now being made for a federal-provincial conference on this subject. In the meantime New York’s lead in studying and setting forth, for every citizen to read, the extent, of its polution problem is to be

commended. Particularly so in view |

EDITORIAL NOTES

The term “‘World’s Fair” as ap- plied to Canada’s big show at Mon- treal in 1967 is incorrect usage, the director of information advises the newspapers im the country, The name of the event is “The Universal and International Exhibition of 1967, Montreal, Canada.” Newspaper peo- ple whose job it is to write terse headlines are going to have a tough time on that one!

As announced by Premier Shaw, the provincial by-elections in First Kings and Fifth Prince on February - 9 will be carried out under the. old electoral legislation and not the

Mr. Pearson in 1963 was 66 when he succeeded Mr. Diefen- baker, who was then 68. Mr. St. Laurent was 75 when he left of- fice. Presidem Kennedy was only 46 when he was assassinat- ed but on this continent he was the exception in behalf of youth.

Communist Trade Bloc _

By Arch MacKenzie

Cariadian

President Johnson has. given} fresh emphasis to United States hopes «of grabbing a/ larger slice of the growing | Western world trade with Rus- | sia and the Eastern European | Communist Bloc.

This spells more competition | for Canada, Britain, France and other allies who have been | expanding trade with the Soviet | alliance.

There has been ample evi- dence the U.S. is aware it is missing out, but Pre.ident Jolin- son in his State of the Union message Monday night made specific reference to the sub- ject.

“In Eastern ‘Europe, restless nations are beginning slowly to assert their identity,’ he said. “Your government. assisted by leaders in labor: and business, is exploring ways to increase peaceful trade with these coun- tries and the Soviet Union.”

“T will report our conclusions to Congress ."’

WOULD EASE TENSIONS

By peaceful trade, the presi- | dent means non-strategic items including food, liquor, tobacco and the like.

As expressed by the président more East-West trade is one way of easing tensions, although there is not the,slightest sign of relaxing trade barriers with | China or Cuba.

More trade may also have value in American eyes as a

It .was supposed to have been left in a situation where, as its current equipment wore ou!, it would be without replacements

A very different estimate of Chinese power will have to be made if it is now producing air- craft that could offer. battle to the most modern the West can produce. And when the possib- ility of modern Chinese air pow- er is combined with its recently demonstrate- ability to build atomic bombs, a serious situa- tion arises.

It is, of course, possible that reports are being exaggerated, as a side effect the Chinese atomic test. But Sf those reports are true, the West may in a few years face a much more formide ible enemy than it had expected.
