Charlottetown is to be honoured tilts t-vcning by visits from two distinguished parliamentarians, Hon. G. Eduard Rinfret, LL.L., B.A.. C.R., Postmaster-General, and l.icut. Colonel the Hon. George A. Drew, l(.C., LL.D., Leader of the Opposition in the liousc of Commons. Both gentlemen are here to address political meetings in support of their respective party candidate: in Monday's by-election, but regardless of politics their visits will be warmly wel- t-omcd and appreciated. It is only to be regretted that they are scheduled to speak on the same evening, and that it will be impossible for all our voters to hear and see them both.

Mr. Rinfret comes of a family long dis- tinguished in public life. His father, the Rt. lion. Thibaudeau Rinfret, is Chief Justice of Canada. His paternal grandfather was associated with Sir George Etienne Cartier. while his grandfather on the maternal side was president of Banque Provinciale of Canada. Mr. Rinfret was first elected to the House of Commons in 1945 and his

abilities were immediately recognized. lie assumed his present portfolio only four years later. on the elevation of Post-

master-General Bertrand to the judiciary.

Colonel Drew needs no introduction to Prince Edward Islanders, he having visit- ed here on several occasions. As a soldier and author of several works on military affairs. as a brilliant lawyer and speaker, as Premier of Ontario and, since 1948. as the dynamic leader of the Progressive Con- scrvative Party of Canada and Leader of the Opposition, his career has been an out- standing one. It is interesting also to note that his grandfather was a member of the first Parliament of Confederation and that while still in his twenties. Mr. Drew him- self was active in public affairs, being pres- ident of Guelph's Chamber of Commerce. one of its Aldermen. and later its Mayor.

Mr. Rinfret is, of course, speaking on lwlialf of the Liberal candidate for Queenls, Mr. Cecil Miller. and Colonel Drew on be- half of Mr. J. Angus MacI..ean, the Pro- gressive Conservative standard bearer. Oth- er prominent speakers will appear in sup- port of both candidates. It will be a big night politically, and it is hoped and ex- pected that the audiences in both theatres will be very large and representative

Jiycees In conference

The Junior Chamber of Commerce is one of the most active organizations in Canada, and the regional convention, now in pro- grass in Charlottetown, will doubtless be a husy and fruitful one.Twenty-eight: branch Chambers are represented, from all parts of the Maritimes as well as from the Gaspe area of Quebec. The growth of the organiz- ation in recent years may be gathered from the fact that there are now fifteen Reg- ions functioning across Canada, with a to- tal membership of some 75,000.

it is a privilege to welcome these ener- tzctic representatives of business to our City and Province. Many of them are ac- vompanied by their wives, and a special programme has been arranged for their entertainment. It is hoped that the im- pressions of all the visiting members will he favourable. and that those who have not previously visited the Island will feel that; they have missed something worth- while. The best. compliment they can pay us is to rontr. again at the earliest oppor- iuniiy.

Pact Forces trsovoroignty

The agreement signed in London be- tween Atlantic Pact countries makes un- iform the position of tmops of the various pact nations when in one anotheris juris- diction. The agreemcnt will, of course. simplify the problem of moving troops with- in the area covered by the pact and make. feasible the employment of forces compris- ing many nations.

It means. as Canadian Press reports in- dicate, that Canada and Britain suspend their right to make visiting troops subject to trial by the ordinary courts for offences of a military nature. All such charges will be tried before military courts of the nation to which the accused belong.

The agreement cover: much more ground than this but the striking feature is the voluntary curtailing of the sovereignty of the member nations within their own territory. Such rellnqulshment 1s a neces-

sary condition of the establishment: of imy possible world government and the fact that it is today possible in such a group as the signatories of the Atlantic Treaty means that world government is at least d possibility.

Always Insufficient

Twenty-five years ago the amount of paper money in circulation was limited by the necessity of the banks having to keep enough gold on hand to meet any demands for redemption. There is no such limit today, for if one piesents a paper dol- lar at the bank and asks to have it re- deemed, all the banker is required to give in exchange is another one like it.

Note of this significant fact is taken in The Rural Scene, which adds:

Today money is issued according to the needs of the issuing authority with no thought of ever having to redeem it. This is the reason people are not alarmed when the government spends a billion dollars a year on public welfare.

It is one reason why it is hard to fight inflation. The people have come to believe that money can be produced when needed and they dont see the importance.- of saving it. It is one reason why welfare is proving inadequate when people get it.

It is also one reason vthy people will not be satisfied with pensions of 340 a month. As prices continue to rise the pensioners will demand 350 a month, then 360, then 380, then C100; but always the pensions will be insufficient because the increases will be in money only, without any correspond- ing increase in the food, clothing and shelter the people need.

EDITORIAL NOTES

According to law there can be no more broadcasting of political speeches in the election campaign after tonight.

I O 0 As from June 8th, the U. K. Treasury has relaxed its regulations regarding the amount of sterling that may be brought into and taken out of the U. K. The limit has been raised from I5 to :E10.

0 O I

The per capita grant for university training proposed by Prime Minister St. Laurent should be warmly welcomed in this Province where the spirit of learning is strong but the pocket-book all too often weak.

I

Mr. Churchill's followers in the British House of Commons are nothing if not en- thusiastic in opposition. One is reported to have said of nationalization: ”lt is diff- icult to exaggerate the seriousness of the

situation-but I will do my best." 0 I O i

The proposed amendment to the Crim- inal Code adding the lesser offence of driv- ing with one's efficiency "impaired" by alcohol can be expected to result in a high- er proportion of convictions but will cer- tainly reduce the number convicted of driving while "intoxicated".

O O O

A witness before the MacArthur in- quiry committee has advocated that U. N. aircraft be permitted to cross into Man- churia in "hot pursuit" of retreating Red fliers. The phrase will awaken memories of prohibition days when rum-runners were followed across the three-inile limit.

0 O O

Canadians will pay for their extended old age pension benefits and, it seems, will know what they are paying for. It may be a nuisance to complicate the tax sit- uation by earmarking particular levies but it should serve to check the mistaken idea that such things are or can be free.

Thomas Day, author of "Sandford and Merton". was born in London this date 1748. The work was an adaptation of the "Emile" of Rousseau to English life. Day also wrote "The Dying Negro". "The De- voted Legions" and "The History of Little Jack". He carried out extensive farming operations on philanthropic principles.

0 O O

The Newdigate Prize for English verse has been awarded to Michael Homyansky, Merton College, in Rhodes scholar, and graduate of Toronto University. In the Sheldonian on June 20th, he read his poem at the Encaenia. to an audience including the Governor-General Lord Alexander, Prime Minister Mr. St. Laurent, and Cana- dian Secretary of State for External Af- fairs, Mr. L. B. Pearson. The subject: of this was "The Queen of Sheba".

O O I

Could it be Queen's? A month or so ago, (says the Ottawa correspondent of The Gazette), it looked as if the Liberals had an excellent chance of scoring victories in each of the four by-elections slated for June 25. Since then, they've run into heavy going here and there. The Progressive Con- nervatlvu, not too optimistic earlier, are

talking of taking at least one and bly two of the four seats. C. C. F.

candidates are still finding the going tough. I

Needs A Crystal Ball

(Ottawa Journal) Mr. Donald Gordon, warming an nudtcnco in Chulottetovm,

"1359 9- Point. about railroading that will be new to the thinking of most people - the problem of spending on costly equipment which engineering science may make obsolete tomorrow or the day after.

A modern all--conditioned day coach, said the President of Can- adian National Railways, costs 8136.000, 1. dining car 5248.000, fl. roomette sleeping car 5245.000. and the! H9 Hood for 40 years. A diesel road locomotive of 3,000 horsepower costs about 8350.000. And considering all the factors in- volved, of price. of competition, of possible inventions and develop- ment, of scarclties and shortages - "never", said Mr. Gordon. "have I felt the need of a crystal ball so much as when reviewing our an- nual capital budget".

Mr. Gordon followed this with another interesting point:

"When you consider that '..:lf1 Canadian National now has over' l06.000 cars of all types shuttling to and frompointa as widely sep- arated as Prince Rupert and St. John's, Newfoundland, and penet-I rating deeply into the United: States. you will appreciate the problem of logistics which in in- volved in getting the right kind of car in the right. place at the right time.

ftThe movement of each car must: be traced so that we know just. where it is at any particular moment, whether it. is empty anti can be put to use or whether it is loaded and what; it: contains. The constant aim is to keep each car loaded and moving over the road so that capital coats will be spread as thinly as possible over the gross earnings . . . .

"If we were to wait until all our airs were filled to mnximum cap- acity. and vplttl we had accum- ulated sufficient loads to make full use of the tnctlve effort. of our locomotives, our train service! would fall far behind the stand- ard: of frequent and convenient services which the QVCY-qlIICkEI'III'Ig pace of economic life has come to demand. somewhere 1 balance has to be struck between frequent fut schedules for light -tnlnn and less frequent slower schedules for hen- vfer tonnuu.” .

Railroading, on the scale of our two great can , t is an intricate process, and efficient and well-mnnued railway: are essen- tial to the life and security of this fax-reaching country. Such ul- drosses as this one of Mr. Gordon make for a. better public under-

' ate for the

standing of ntlrond problem, and that in to the good.

of this season's tourist stories. it is to be gathered that there is still 1 meat. situation in socialist Britain. A French porter at the Gare St. Lazaro in Paris was help- ing an English traveler pile his luggage on to I train. He was somewhat taken aback to notice a string of sausages among the traveler's affects. Upon inquiry, he received this exphnatton: ”I'll tell you," said the Brltisher, "I've had 3 great deal of trouble with the meat ration in London. I usually wrap it up at: the butch- er's in a used bun ticket, but it keeps dropping out through the punched hole."-(Winnipeg Free Press.

It has happened again-this time in the state of Washington. And as a result, four children who might. have been saved by firemen died in the blazing ruins of their home.

"Whom tho non flu. let him wear it." might. be the moral of I story that come: to us from Bremen, Germany. A radio store was broken into. When the po- lice investigated the scene of the orime they discovered the tip of a man's nose amongst the frag- ments of a broken window-pane. Rejecting the theory that a cus- tomer, having been made to pay lthrough the nose. resolved to cut it off to spite his face, they kept. I sharp lookout for noseless types.
