Tragedy At SIIIIIIIIB-l'SlfI0

Korea is a long way off and the impres- sion made at home by the death of brave men is blunted by distance and the coldly

mits of no doubt or questioning; the desire to belong to a dominant elite and at the same time to sink one's individuality in a collective will; the romantic appeal of the Ifairyland of marvels which Soviet prop- aganda projects."

Nationalist resentments and hatreds, which are much more than mere manifesta- tions of poverty, are likewise exploited by Communism, as they were recently by Fascist movements. To promote higher standards of living throughout the world is in itself a desirable object of policy, but it

its no substitute for defence.

The four young men who died yesterday at Summerside gave their lives in line of duty no less than had it been in the face of the enemy. The sympathy of all our citizens will go out to those, in whatever part of Canada they may be, who have lost a friend or relative in yesterday's disaster.

And Ill Wind

Charlottetown citizens who looked with dismay at broken streets on all sides at the end of last winter now find that there is some consolation. It is an expensive busi- ness replacing the worn-out pavement but not so expensive as to do the same work over several years.

There will, of course, be demands for retrenchment but boldness is sometimes the most prudent policy. It would be wise to examine the city's needs for new paving as well as replacement for the next few years. it might well prove economical to harry out an extensive programme of street construction at one time rather than piece- meal.

comliatting communism

The London Economist takes note of an argument constantly resorted to by Mia.

Aneuriii Bevan in discussing foreign affairs which also crops up quite frequently in criticisms of the Korean War in. this coun- try. This is the thesis that a great deal of energy and material wealth is being thrown tiway in fighting the wrong sort of war; that fighting is not really necessary for re- sistancc to Communism, because Commun- ism is simply a product of poverty; there- fore the only way to resist it is by pro- motlng liight-'l' standards of living. It is a line of illj'.',LllllClll as seductive to uncritical minds as it is dangerous to the safety of the free world.

Recent history, says the Economist, does not bear out the idea that mass poverty is the most significant factor in the spread of Communism. in the blockade of Berlin, Germany would now have been under Communist control, but the outcome of that crucial conflict did not at all (lcpcnd on the dcgrcc of poverty then existing in Germany.

Tile nearly achieved conquest of South Korea was not due to any rising of desper- ate, poverty-stricken South Koreans. but to a straight military invasion with tanks (which Russia had supplied to North Korea. but America had not supplied to South Korea). It is plausible enough to attribute Communist movements in Asia to ."despair- ing social conditions," but how can this ex- plain the remarkable strength of Commun-

ism in Australia, which enjoys one of the,

highest standards of livihg in the world? The fact is that Communism as a total- itarian political system uses force whenever it appears expedient, propagates and ex- fploits the idea of Soviet military invinclbll- fey, md appeals to every sort of discontent, . nice or ambition, whether economic in

The Canadian Government will be of-t ficially represented at "Canada Day”, to be! celebrated at Dunvcgan Castle during Skye Week, which opens May 24. A maple tree will be planted in the Castle grounds, and souvenir badges, showing the badge of the MacLeod's superimposed on a maple leaf, will be distributed.

The difficulty Parliament is facing in, providing for the celebration of Victoria: Day on a Monday without getting away? from the traditional 24th of May is one' which can only be solved by calendar. reform. Unfortunately it will not be untill 1956 that it will be practical to adopt thcl favorite proposal, the World Calendar. '

The ladies have been prominent in pub- lic life this week, including the Girl Guide Commissioners. They are the link between i.he Girl Guides and the Boy Scouts, and play a very important part in guiding the? steps of children,along the proper path. The Maritime members are being heartily wel- comed here, and are sure to have a profit- able and pleasant time in our midst.

Prince Edward Island eggs are losing markets due to lack of uniformity in grad- ing. and packing. These are defects which producers can remedy without much trou- ble and inconvenience, and they should get in contact with Mr. F. M. Nash of the Fed- eral Department of Agriculture, who will show them how to earn more money by very little trouble on their part.

TIII-J MODERN TREND

Sir, - I think you do well to spotlight in your Editorial Notes the trend to the iivc-day week in the Civil Service. mid that "the move has strong backing from the big labor congresses". I was espec- ially interested in this golden point: "The cost: About 310,000,000 a year. And at least 5,000 extra civ- li servants (and possibly 10,000) would have to be taken on the pay- roll so that the work week could be shoriencii without sacrificing existing services."

Wasn't it only it few months back that olir Ottawa masters gaiiy added about 540,000,000 annually to the pay-load of these same people - civil enough but not notable as unusually hard workers! - on the pocket-book of poor old John 0. Public? ,

These are the same people who, along with our five-day week bank- ers are. eternally dinning into the cars of the mail-in-the-street and the folk on the farms, the one way to beat Old Man Inflation, namely. production and more production.

Heaven knows that in this "pro- duction business" the farmer is do- lug his full part. and is playing his historic role ill the direction of giv- ing us abundance. despite the dim- gets involved. It is notorlbusly easy for a comparatively small regional oi-cr-supply to result in cruel pun- ishment. in sending farm revenues down to production costs. and often below them.

In the circumstances. therefore. i suggest that it is up to the prim- ary producers to "read, mark and lziivordly digest” the constructive marketing principles contained in that. excellent address by Mr. Thomas Kickham. M. P.. in your April 10 issue. I feel it is fair to as- sort that in these streamlined. spclidthrlit days. any industry re- mains iinltizcd and unorganized. at its peril.
