Speech From The Throne The Speech with which Parlia- ment was opened yesterday is I. lengthy document, alld its strongest critics’ will not deny that it is a meaty one as \\ ell. Whether or not it provides a solution to our economic ills will be a subject of heated de- bate. Certainly it does forecast meas- ures of real importance to our econ- omy, and in which this Maritime area is very murla concerned.

We refer particularly to the pro- posals for expanding the campaign of export trade promotion, for agri- cultural development, and for estab-

lishment of an Atlantic Develop- '

ment Board to advise on projects of advantage to this region. _

in agriculture, emphasis is plac- ed on a program. to ensure storage facilities and continuity of supplies of feed grain for livestock produc- tion, on rehabilitation of farm lands, on the enlargenient of the Farm

' Credit Corporation fund and pro-

vision for greater flexibility in its use. We note, too, that R national conference on agricultural training is to be convened this fall.

The Government also proposes to implement the Transportation Com- mission’s recommendations, intend- ed to remove the need for general horizontal freight rate increases and to provide for extension of the Freight Rates Reduction Act and

the other interim railway subsidies. ‘

Municipalities are assured that the winter works program to meet sea- sonal unemployment will be contin- ued.

The Government, envisons the creation, over the next five years, of more than one million new jobs and a corresponding growth in gross national product. It intends to re- move the import charges imposed to meet foreign exchange difficul- ties “as soon as circumstances per- mit.” It will introduce measures to establish a National Economic De- velopment Board, with which, pre- sumably, the Maritime Development Board will work in close contact.

The fiscal objective, says the

Speech. is a balanced budget. This will involve steps to improve the efficiency of gm ernment operations, to create better employment oppor- tunities, promote a higher rate of reconomic growth, strengthen Can- ada's balance of international pay- ments, and maintain stability in prices. A tall order! Here, no doubt, is where the chief controversy will centre duringjthe session. _

There, is a 10' of other legislation

’ fbrllcast, but we can’t omit the pro- , ;po'Ie'tl’ amendment to the British

Nbrth America Act to provide for

", tile introduction of a national system

of contributory old age pensions with

-— ‘Heroic Drama

The “miracle rescue” of the ma- jofity of I planeload of Frankfurt- boundpeuengurl downed in the North’ Atlantic, 500 miles west of Ireland, continues.tu make newspa- pu mjaflneg, rightly so. The drama started ‘last Sunday night when the plane was forced to ditch uumthree of its four engines went dead. Panic cou‘d have resulted in

‘magi.’ disaster. Instead. on the

mock suffered from file lending, rode out heavy seas until a Swiss freighter, answering their distress calls, reached them. ‘_

But there was much more to the story than that. The search and rescue efforts involved British and American military airplanes, mer- chant and naval ships of several na- tions, including a British weather ship, the liner Mauretania, and the Canadian aircraft carried Bonaven- ture.

Press comment has not overlook- ed the tragedy of fatalities or ignor- ed the question of whether enough is being done to eliminate what a London newspaper called “margins of error in tl.e,running of compet- itive air services.” But the principal theme is the outcome of this deeply moving incident which has stirred the world and has been rated “one of the biggest sea-and-air-operations in peacetime.” The feats accomplish- ed on this occasion are proof that, whatever else may be wrong with our modern civilization, the call to duty in times of danger still finds prompt and heroic response.

Mosley Again

Sir Oswald Mosley is visiting the United States. What he thinks he can do there we don’t know, but if he gets lost altogether we imagine it will be a great relief to the Brit- ish authorities. He addressed I. gathering of 12500 persons at th a University of Buffalo the other day, claiming that he was no'longer a Fascist “in the pre-war sense.” fie spoke at the invitation of the stud- ent senate, but more than 500 stud- ents demonstrated in protest against his appearance. Some of the students jeered and others carried signs reading: “Hate Monger Mosley”. “Remember the Millions gassed in Auschwitz Buchenwald”. “No Naz- ism Here”, “Go back to Jail".

We don’t think much of such placards as arguments. But how else is one to reply to persons of the Mosley type? His malodorous past is still too much a living memory. Now 65. this fanatical English baronet, jailed for Nazi sympathies during the Second World War, has lost none of his crusading enthusiasm.

This time he's supporting what he calls a union of all European coun- tries under 9. common government. This appears to have a faint verbal connection with the long-term plans for the European Common Mar- ket, but the similarity ends there. Between Mosley! and a community of free men anywhere there is an im- passible gulf. Certainly it woud sink the Macmillan government if he succeeded in aligning himself with any policy the Prime Minister is promoting for participation in Euro- pean affairs. But that's most unlike- ly, given the British public’s know- ledge of Mosley and its traditional common sense.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The Baltimore Evening Sun pre- dicts that “even with a swimming pool in the new House Office Build- ing, congressmen will still engage in their traditional athletic activities

—log-rolling, horse-trading; back-‘

scratching and fence-mending.” The

boys at Ottawa, of course, would

never be guilty of playing crude

games of this kind! III III *

The little farm community of- Marine, Illinois, recently erected a large sign at the entrance of the village saying, “Welcome to Marine. No radar control. No electric tim- ing. But drive carefully.” This hon- est invitation to use the streets as guests, without the customary threats of arrest for traffic viola- tion, has drawn favorable attention elsewhere.

III Ill #

One of the things Mr. Diefenbak- or is reported to have said at the Commonwealth conference in Lon- don was that if Britain joined the Common Market, Canada might be driven into the American orbit, I development Canadians had with- stood for a hundred years. The Milwaukee Journal calls this “Diet- enbaker's Bogeyman", and quotes t’he London Economist to this ef- fect: "The puil of the United States on Canada is a many sided thing exerted thrmlgil many channels of life, and not, ill themain, by one government upon the other. Who seriously supposes that the fact of it will be conjured away by keeping Britain out of the European com- munity?’

‘An American Problem

George Ball, United States undersecretary of state, says the proposed construction Cuba of a big new port for So- viet trawlers deepens Russia's hold on the Caribbean island.

This, he told a group of edi- tors; in Washington Wednesday, is “an unhappy situation" in that Cuba will be further ex-

ploited to serve Russia’: inter- j ' a symbol to American frustration

Yes, even in little Prince Edward Island there Ire many vacant and non-pro- ducing farms. The need ore food, and the lack of supply re- veals I faulty economy.

About racial relationships: First of all. we must not over- look the fact that God made of one blood "Ill nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth." We also must recog- nize the fact that “God so lov- ed the world"-—humIn beings- “that He gave His only begot- ten son. that whosoever believ- elh in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

I cannot recall any previous case of I widow taking over her husband's seat in the Commons. but the Yukon boasts an event comparable to the Northwest Territories‘ election of Hardie to succeed the popular young Liberal, Merv Hurdle. The Grand Old Man of the Yukon, Hon. George Black. sat in the Commons from 19 to 1935, serving as Speaker for the last five years. Then, on account of lll-health, he stood aside in the general election of 1935. But his wife, Martha Black, was a candidate in his place. and she held the seat for the Conservative Party. Then George ran again, auccessfuly, in the elections of 1940 Ind 1945. While his record as a po- litician and as Speaker stands high, he is best remembered among old-timers here for his bonhomie and is almost legendary feat in killing six rab- bits with six shots from his six- shooter on Parliament ‘Hill.

The rash is halfway, between that seen in chicken pox and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The in- dlvldual lesions are slightly el- evated and reddened: many are capped by a tiny blister, or vesicle.
