TIIB Greater Danger

Whatever compromises may be worked out between France and, her European allies with respect to the much debated European Army plan, it seems clear now that the Fiuropeali Defence Community is in a very bad way; in fact, it will be sur- prising if the plan manages to sulvive at all in any of its original features. The fact of the matter is that the French General Assembly has never looked with favour on the rearniameiit of Germany under any plan whatsoever. Even Premier Mendes- France himself, while he is eager enough to bring about a united front to possible Soviet aggression, is very wary about per- mitting the West Germans to have any serious part in the projectediprogram.

Negotiations may go on for some time; but it seems certain that, sooner or later (the hope is that it will not be too late), hopes for united strength under the orig- inal E. D. C. concept will have to be ab- andoned in favour of something more tang- ible and more likely to bring about the desired end. This will probably take the form of a British-American decision to authorize and even encourage West Ger- man rearmament, regardless of how the French may feel in the matter. This would be a far from satisfactory solution to the problem; but it would be much better than the eventual entry of West Germany into the Communist orbit, which the United

The minority that the consumption of conventional fil- lets bad expanded considerably in recent years, asserting that this could only have occurred "with the availability of reason- ably priced foreign supplies to supplement the domestic output.” It then pointed to the advent and spectacular growth of the fish,-stick trade, which first became signifi- cant in the latter part of 1953 when the

He therefore felt it was possible that the basic difficulty of the industry, static mar- kets, was on the way to a solution. For the next three fiscal years (ending June 30, 1957), 30 per cent of the gross re- ceipts coming from duties collected on im- ports of fisheries products will be turned over to the Secretary of the Interior each year to be used for what might be term- ed a fisheries extension program says Mr. Smith.

Those of us who are middle- uged or older were spared sny great amount of scientific nurture in our upbringing. There was such a thing as child psychology, no doubt, but it hadn't. travelled very much. As soon as s young- ster was old enough to know what. parental authority meant- in some cases before then-he was expected to respect it; if he happened to be a little slow about it parents had ways and means of bringing it. to his attention.

In most families discipline was no great. problem. On some ques- tions of order there were differ- ences of opinion but, on the whole. peaceful "co-existence" was easily maintained. While par- ents had plenty of anxieties. it never occurred to them to take them to an expert. Thst would have been too nluch like talking to outsiders about family internal troubles.

School, of course. brought new problems: in fact, that is one thing schools are for. In those days, however. the home and the school were almost like Klpllng's version of East and West. Each had its own sphere of influence and its own jurisdiction. While .1 child was in school he was under the teacher's control, body and soul. Some teachers were wise and some were foolish: no matter, their laws were absolute and there was no court of appeal.

If. for example, a teacher with a flair for tyranny piled home- work upon homework in appalling quantity, there was no use he- moaning the fact. You did as
