Farming Conditions

§ Grave concerr. has been express- ed with regard to our Island crop prospects this year as a result of weather conditions. l\la.n_v farmers have been unable to meet harvest- ing‘ schedules, and all types of crops appear to be affected, many by as much as 25 per cent. This is the estimate placed (ill the situation by Mr. Reid Sangster, provincial agri- culture marketing agent, who sa)'S that unless the province gets a week ' of “solid sunshine" it may be faced with one of the worst c.r0p disas- ters in its history.

The situation throughout the Maritimes is bad, but our depend- ence on agriculture here is greater than in our sister provinces, and our economy is t.I1eret‘ore more seri-

. ously affected by the conditions that have developed. There may indeed be an improvement during the re- inainder of the season. in which case We can only hope that the change thrill not have come too late. Meanwhile we note that con- trary to the pessimistic forecasts of last spring, the prairie provinces are likely to produce one of the richest grain harvests on record. This, moreover. will come at a time when the once-burdensome wheat surplus has almost disappeared, and farmers will be able to sell their wheat easily. Experts forecast that ' more than 500,000,000 bushels of wheat wil be harvested in Manitoba, Saskatchewan an: Alberta.

l With wheat selling at about $2 per bushel, this crop alone should bring in about s1,ooo.ooo,0o0, mak- ing it the best wheat harvest in 10 years and twice as large as the 1961 harvest. In addition, an increase in the western oat crop of 84 per cent compared with 1961 is forecast, and an increase of 25 per cent in the barley harvest. None of this was expected at planting time last spring, when there was practically. no moisture reserve in the soil.

Agriculture Minister Hamilton, who comes from Saskatchewan, is enthusiastic about western farm prospects. “It's about time we hit,.

tljie jackpot out there,” he told an Ottawa newsman the other day. “For six years there has been de- pression and drought. Now we've a crop like we haven't had in years, and farmers will need all'new machinery. Their old equipment is worn out. Tlie_v‘ll need new cars. radios, and all the things you make

.i down in your factories. This crop is money in evei-ybody's pocket.” This is true, of course. Our farm- ers here will rejoice that their western counterparts have been so fortunate this season. The national

economy will benefit, too. But it is '

to be hoped that, in the resulting relief this good news is causing, the predicament of this section of our fprrning population will not be lost at ht of, either at Ottawa or throughout the country.

,. Political Implications In a background story on the Jlluieeippi crisis, the New York ’ , _l notes that in the state's mitts aquare miles and 2,2oo,.ioo. "poglilatiion nearly half the people

Negroes, many of whom, like

nave remained totally segregated at all levels of public education. It is therefore a crucial battleground in a struggle that has generated in the United States the most acute sectional tensions of the 100 years since the Civil War. ‘

By the same token, the political stakes are large. Governor_Faubua of Arkansas predicted last week that the South would be -a "wasteland” for the Democrats if the Govern- ment used force in the Meredith case. President Kennedy could not have won in 1960 without the South. If there is 8 large-scale disaffection among Democrats as a result of the Meredith case, his chances -ih 1964 could be jeopardized.

The President hasn’t allowed this to interfere with his duty of en- forcing‘ the law in Mississippi, but it has certainly added to his dif- ficulties. This is the year in which all the seats in the House of Rep- resentatives and one-third or more of those in the Senate are to be filled at the November elections.

The one redeeming feature, politically, is that the Republican party's national position is much the same as the Adininistration’s in this

‘ episode. Its Southern congressional

candidates are restrained from criticising the methods of federal law enforcement by Preside nt Eisenhower’s use of the Army at Little Rock and his advance in- dorsemeiit of any means Mr.‘ Ken- nedy may deem required in Missis- sippi. But: the net result could lie an opposition bloc to the President’s re-election in 1964 which could re- verse his slim 1960 margin of victory quite easily.

Politicians concede, however, that the greatest imponderables created by the constitutional crisis in Mississippi cannot even begin to be weighed until the physical and legal conflicts have ended, and their consequences have been assayed. By his firm stand. the President has increased his voting strength among groups where he was strong already. It may be that even in the diehard South there will beat lifting of the scales from blind. eyes, and an open- ing of minds to what is really in- volved in this struggle between freedom and a benighted cause.

Exacting Duties

It'is as a newcomer to p ubl ic affairs that Mr._ S. J. Warwick takes up his duties as executive assistant to Premier Walter R. Shaw, suc- ceeding Mr. Wendall‘MacKay, who has been named deputy provincial secretary. It is a difficult job, for it frequently requires enough of judgment to act in behalf of the Premier while also serving as a buffer between the public and the Premier. ‘

In his handling of these duties Mr. MacKay has shown not only tact but intelligence and integrity. The standards of fairness he has sought to uphold in his dealings with the press, and thereby with the public, could serve as an example for at least some members of the cabinet who do not display much under- standing in such relationships.

As he steps into his new duties, Mr. Warwick lies the benefit of a good example to follow; a circum- stance which makes it easy to wish him well while extending the same wish to Mr. MacKay following his promotion. - ‘

EDITORIAL NOTIES

Mr. Pearson's three-hour speech in Parliament may have been old stuff, as Prime Minister Diefen- baker complained, but he came up with at least one new quip before moving his vote of non-confidence. An old Chinese proverb, ‘he said," summed up the Canadian govern- ment's attitude at the Common- wealth Conference toward Britain and the European Common Market. It was: “The wise man doesn't use a hatchet to kill in fly on the fore- head of his friend."

The, Soviets And The UniteclNotioris

By W. N. Ewer United Kingdom Information Service

Mr G r o m y k o‘s opening ‘ speech to the United Nations As- sembly gave little ground for , any hope that the Soviet Gov- ernmen‘ is going to be either constructive or cooperative dur- ing the current session. It was an only too familiar exercise in polemics.

Ii. was. I suppose. to be ex- pected that the Soviet Foreign -l Minister should take the op- portunity of making a blistering attacl. on U.S. policy with re- gard to Cuba. It was to be ex- should repeat the stereotyped Soviet formulae about Berlin.

On nuclear tests there was

no hint of any budging from the thesis that any system of inter-

national verification would be a ‘

cloak for espionage. The West- ern Powers have gone a very long way in their effort to re- move any justifiable basis for such fears. But the response is wholly negative.

On g e n e r a 1 disarmament theme is a slight move. The S0- viet Government has decided to abandon its demand for the de- struction. in the very first stage of 2 disarmament programme. of all means of delivery of nuc- lear weapons. The reasons for ' this change are obscure. The precise meaning of the ne proposal is by no means clear. In any case. it does not get us far. For the Soviet Union re- mains adamant in demanding. as a sine qua non. the immed- iate withdrawal of all armed forces to their own territories: which means in fact the immed- iate liquidation of the whole NATO defence system in Eur- ope.

All this is disappointing. but not surprising. What appears to me surprising is the attack—for such it is— on the United Na- tions itself. It took two forms.

First, there was the clear in- dicatior. that the Soviet Union intends to revive its demand

And the Gromyko ‘speech sounds very much like a warn- ing th Government means

to prevent the choice of U Thant. and thereby tb crea a serious succession crisis, o at

the,ve least to weaken his power to act effectively. This impression is confirmed

‘ by the second prong of the at-

tack Mi-. Gromyko made a viol- the U.N. operation in the Congo, for which U Then: is so largely responsible. and to which he is deeply committed.

N0 KOPECKS FOR CONGO The Soviet Union, its Foreign

Minister declared, will it o

operation which he described as

aiding the colonialists to sanc-

tlfy their criminal deeds n the or

It is a description which must have astonished the majority of the delegates. both those who approve the action taken by U Tltant and those who are inclin- ed to criticise it as being t on harsh towards Mr. Tsbombe.

But the implications are omin-

us. There is the personal implica- tion that U Thant ls aiding the

t~ Nations. Yet this is

colollallsts. There is also the implication that the whole U.N. operation in the Congo is to be condemned. This is the point of the flat refusal to pay a single lropecl: towards financing it. de- spite the opinion of the Interna- tional Court that members 0

the UN. have an obligation to

do so.

It is only too obvious that the soviet Goverpment wishes to have the operation ended. And it will have to be ended unless the money for continuing it is forthcoming. To end it would be the greatest blow to the prestige and the authority of the United ' now. quite clearly. one of the objectives of Soviet policy. ’

Is old fashioned chivalry thing of the past‘! It is note it that the nlverslties Foundation has prepared a boolrlet,for the benefit of foreign students studying here. explaining some of customs that hive ‘developed within the Canadian culture. However. one might ask whether the booklet is not pointing to the ideal. ra- ther than to the practice.

"Most Canadians believe in equality between the aexeis, but- fdrms of courtesy in this coun- try have traditionally given the woman the preference. For ex- ample. women so through a door first; man rise when a-'wo- men enters a room."

mug is iihe ideal. but‘ the Que- bec dsronlcle Telegraph ques- tions whether it is somewhat wanting in practic

ofpracilce on autobuses or at autobua stops." says the Que- bec wi-lter. “We have seen ma- ny men brush past women to

Times-lies-aid

rarely happens today that man will rise when a woman enters.

“The Foundation would seem to be writing of a custom that existed a genyatlon ago, but which has largely disappeared. The em is today would seem to be on the word equal- ' lty. and’ what we once labelled common courtesy now is quite uncommon.

"We lament the passing of these former customs. Once upon a time. no man would think of sitting in ‘a tram car if a woman was standing. e was something dellghtfu in watching the male rise to his feet, and perhaps with a courtly bow, offer the seat to a woman who had just boarded the tram. Can this spirit be recovered?

“The booklet is being offered to foreign students. Perhaps it could also be circulated profit- ably amoug the Canadians. for if the gallantrles of another day were time consuming certainly we have more time at our dis- posal to practise them today. And they can be counted upon to add that pleasant touch which the world needs in on 1- day." _
